Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

He returned to the village entrance again, looked up at the useless wooden beam, and stood there blankly.

After a while, he sat on the stone at the entrance of the village again, hesitating whether to go in and beg for food.

At this moment, a girl's sweet voice came from behind and in the distance.

"Mom! I want to eat baked potatoes! Ahem..."

"Okay~" The blonde woman touched the girl's head, rolled up her sleeves, and said happily: "It's a rare harvest day, let me show off my skills!"

Thank you. Look at them getting ready to enter the village and hiding behind the rocks.

He looked at the big potato in the girl's hand, covered his stomach and swallowed.

Seeing this scene, Heng Yu covered his mouth in surprise, tears in his eyes and said: "That was me and my mother..."

Heng Yu clearly remembers the scene when she first met Xie Xie.

It was a snowy night. Xie Xie collapsed at the entrance of the village and was rescued by his mother...

She didn't expect that Thank you would come to Connor Village so early.

After the two entered the village, the voice of a sturdy boy came from the front.

"Hey! Isn't this the sickly kid from our village?"

"Baked potatoes? Can I have some, too?"

"We should share the blessings together."

The three of them stopped Xiao Xi and her mother. Xiao Xi hid behind her mother, while her mother shouted:

"Who are you calling the sickly one? Huh?" Xiao Xi's mother took out a shovel from a basket and threatened, "Get out to the fields and help!"

"Tsk." The sturdy boy cursed as he stepped back, "What's so great about having a shovel? Just wait for me."

After saying that, the burly boy and his followers ran away.

When he turned back to spit, the sturdy boy saw Thank you hiding behind a rock.

When their eyes met, the burly boy spat on the ground and glared at Xie Xi angrily.

And Xie Xie could only clench his fists unwillingly and could do nothing.

He looked at the little girl who could hide behind her mother and sighed silently.

Xie Xie lowered his head, looked at his bleeding knee, and sighed again.

Everyone saw this scene, and suddenly, they felt as if they had eaten a lemon, and their hearts were very sour.

He sat on the stone for a while, and when the wound was no longer so painful, he lowered his head and left.

That person is in the village, and going in will only lead to a fight...

Just then, the aroma of baked potatoes wafted from the village. Xie Xie shrugged his nose and swallowed.

He looked back with an envious look.

He sighed once more, and as if running away, he quickened his pace and left.

Thank you for sitting by the river, hugging your legs, and staring at the water flowing.

When he thought of the fragrance just now, his stomach rumbled again.

"Hey~"

He didn't know how many times he had sighed, and he couldn't remember when was the last time he had a meal.

Thank you. I just feel weak all over, dizzy and very hungry.

If you don't eat something...

In desperation, he pulled up the weeds on the ground, closed his eyes, imagined the fragrance of the potatoes, and stuffed the weeds into his mouth.

Bitter···Stinging···Pain in the mouth···

Thank you. I frowned and chewed hard, but I couldn't swallow it.

He had no choice but to go to the river, scoop up river water with his hands, drink it, and force the weeds into his stomach.

Everyone's eyes warmed up when they saw this, even Heng Yu, she was not so hungry as to eat weeds.

Seeing Xie Xi swallowing a handful of weeds with gulps of water, they felt extremely distressed and even shed tears.

"Woo~"

After suddenly overeating, my already bad stomach suddenly felt severe pain. The weeds in my stomach were like sharp thorns, making Xie Xi roll on the ground in pain.

He covered his stomach with one hand and grabbed the ground with the other hand, leaving five scratches.

At this moment, Zhang Liang also let out a cry of grief, and cold sweat kept oozing from his forehead.

Ying looked down and found that Zhang Liang was pale and had one hand on his stomach.

"His stomach problem comes back again!" Heng Yu also noticed this. She squatted down, feeling a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Xi Lan took out a bamboo container from her space ring, unplugged the lid, squatted beside Zhang Liang and explained: "This is spiritual dew, it also has the effect of satisfying hunger, you guys help me."

After saying that, Ying rested Zhang Liang's head on her thighs.

Xi Lan fed him spiritual dew, but Zhang Liang did not open his mouth, and the liquid that sparkled with starlight dripped from the corners of his mouth.

"This is bad..."

Just as Xi Lan was thinking about how to get Zhang Liang to open his mouth, Ying put Zhang Liang's head down and said to Xi Lan, "Let me do it."

Seeing Ying pour the spiritual dew into her mouth, everyone guessed what would happen next, and they all showed surprised expressions.

Without hesitation, the pink lips pressed against hers, and the spiritual dew slid over her sweet tongue into her mouth.

Zhang Liang raised his chin, and his throat began to move. After a while, his frown relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hua Nishang stood aside. She saw this scene without saying anything. She just sighed and thought to herself:

"Water once spilled cannot be brought back..."

With a "clang", the screen turned dark, and a row of text popped up in the middle.

[The challenger is overcoming obstacles. Countdown begins. 10 seconds...]

【pass】

[Enter the next level]

Section 1#Volume 2: The Gears of Revenge Are Turning Here: Chapter 244: People from the Outside World

Ying's behavior shocked everyone, but everyone could understand that it was inevitable.

The moment Ying decided not to go back, the only person she could rely on was Zhang Liang.

Moreover, everyone can see how much Zhang Liang cares about Ying.

Mireya did not look at this scene for long. She looked at the spirit room expressionlessly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Xiaoye, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw Mireya deliberately looking away.

[When I feel most powerless and unwilling]

Five seconds later, the scene began to reconstruct.

······

Hot sun, noon.

Inside the gate of the royal capital, below the teahouse.

Seeing this scene, Heng Yu was confused.

"Thank you. Why are you here?"

Not only her, but others had the same reaction.

Compared to the last trial, Xie Xie seems to have grown taller and looks much better.

After observing carefully, Heng Yu exclaimed:

"He's wearing clothes my mother made!"

Afterwards, Heng Yu explained it to everyone.

Xie Xie didn't want to be a burden to his family, so he stayed for a few months and left quietly. After that, he brought medicine for himself from the royal capital.

This should be the time when he came to the capital.

Mireya was very familiar with this period of thanks, as she had seen it countless times.

At this time, inside the city gate, a group of people gathered under a teahouse on one side, and Xie Xi was sitting aside watching.

There were six chessboards in front of the crowd, five large ones and one small one.

The smaller one is only half the height of the larger one and looks like a child and an adult.

"I don't know about the smaller one, but I've heard of the larger one, and it seems that no one has solved it in 500 years."

"The reward offered by the Murong family is really generous. 100 gold coins for solving a puzzle. That's gold coins."

"It's not that he paid for it. It must be that the Sky Curtain Empire wanted to show our Tenidi Empire a warning."

Hearing the people's discussion, everyone else nodded silently.

"Prime Minister Murong really made a brilliant move."

An old man looked at the chessboard and said admiringly:

"He is the Prime Minister of the Empire, but he actually came here as an envoy in person and set up such a reward at the city gate. His intentions are sinister."

"Master, what is the purpose of that adult's action?"

Hearing the conversation between the old man and his henchman, everyone turned their attention, widened their eyes, and exclaimed:

"Master Li!"

"Don't panic, I'm just passing by."

"May I ask what the Imperial Master thinks about this?"

The old man stroked his white beard, chuckled twice, and replied calmly: "You and I are the same. We all know the truth about this matter."

Hearing this, people were confused. They felt like he said something, but it also seemed like he said nothing.

Afterwards, Master Li and his followers walked into the teahouse and disappeared from everyone's sight.

······

Inside the teahouse, on the third floor.

Master Li opened the window a crack, fanned himself, sipped tea and looked at the chessboard.

"Master, why don't you explain it to the people?"

"What's the point of explaining to them?" Li Guoshi looked at his followers and continued, "The people are not wise, so there is no need to say more."

"Yes." The attendant bowed and accepted the instruction, and asked, "Disciple, may I ask you a question or two?"

Master Li did not directly answer the follower's words, but placed a cup of tea in front of him and gestured:

"No hurry, you'll know after you taste the tea." Then he looked at a boy in the crowd and asked, "What do you think of that kid?"

Following the sight, the attendant said puzzledly: "Just an ordinary beggar."

“Hahaha.” Master Li just chuckled and continued, “You’re still a long way from it…”

At this moment, an old man holding a goose feather fan appeared in the teahouse. The phoenix jade pendant hanging around his waist was very eye-catching.

At the same time, behind him followed a girl with aqua blue hair, who looked very arrogant.

The old man walked up the stairs, fanning himself, and came to the third floor.

When he saw Master Li, the corners of his mouth raised and he walked towards him.

"How could the Imperial Master have such a refined taste as to drink tea in such a noisy place?"

When he saw the appearance of the person who came, Master Li was a little surprised, but he didn't show it directly.

"It seems that this is not fate?"
