Chapter 1778 - 1077: A Heart-to-Heart Talk?

Zhi Yuan silently lay down.

"I don’t think so."

Even though he hadn’t lost more than five games against others.

Ninety-nine...

Those two morons even reached a thousand...

Suddenly, he felt much better.

Initially, when people outside saw Fatty and the other doing the thousand-ton finger, there was some chatter and laughter, especially with Fatty, who was single-minded, gluttonous, fun-loving, and particularly poor at math. He was known in the Military Department as a specialist in the thousand-ton finger, famous across the three armies.

But when Zhi Yuan also started doing the thousand-ton finger, everyone was astonished.

"I didn’t see wrong, did I? Zhi Yuan’s mind is pretty sharp; I’ve never beaten him once."

"That’s right, and he actually lost too..."

"Hey, Zhi Yuan, how many did you lose?"

"Ninety-nine."

The crowd was in an uproar, damn, that’s quite a few losses.

The number of onlookers kept growing.

They were even counting...

Zhi Yuan finished quickly, his speed was swift, and the crowd cheered—this newcomer had a great physique.

But the other two...

"Ahhh, I’m going to die!" Fatty’s chubby body doing the thousand-ton finger was especially frightening, causing those familiar with him to burst into laughter.

The commotion was so big that it attracted the Admiral over.

And it was Hong Feng and others.

The people who were initially laughing were now a bit more reserved.

General Huang Sha was always bold and hearty. With the battle imminent, but since this wasn’t a civilian army, it wasn’t all that serious. To be honest, even the weakest person here had experienced countless life and death adventures. A battle might involve many life and death situations, but writing a will in fear would never happen; there were plenty playing cards at night.

But, this Fatty was definitely amusing.

"Hey oh, Hong Feng, that’s one of your people, right? This is Zhi Yuan, I recognize him... Fat boy, how much did you lose...?"

Fatty was out of breath to reply~~

But Zhi Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Fifteen hundred."

"Fifteen hundred? Goodness, must have been saving up for several days, right? The winner must be generous...."

General Huang Sha chuckled, about to leave when Yang Feng suddenly cried out in a tremulous voice: "Not several days... just two hours..."

Pfft!

Many generals drinking from their flasks sprayed out, dumbfounded.

Even Hong Feng, who was originally disinterested and about to leave, was stunned.

Two hours?

"How much did you lose?"

"One thousand."

This is too....

"Zhi Yuan, you lost ninety-nine?" Hong Feng stared at Zhi Yuan.

"Yes."

"Who is the winner, call her out."

This kind of mental calculation ability is definitely a talent...

Huh...

Zhi Yuan hadn’t made a move.

The curtain lifted, and Sui Yi appeared, giving General Hong Feng a slight smile.

She didn’t say anything, just gave a diplomatic slight smile.

She wasn’t particularly good-looking, not as pretty as Luo Ni.

But... for some reason, General Hong Feng, who had always prided himself on having met numerous peerless handsome men and even enjoyed plenty of ****, felt....

—That smile is truly charming.

Soon, everyone witnessed that General Hong Feng, who was always known as the Iron Lady in the Outer Domain Battlefield, spoke in a much softer tone than usual: "You are...?"

"Sacrificial Wine."

"That’s a nice name."

"Thank you."

General Huang Sha was a bit displeased, "So, it was you who won against those three? Your calculation ability is quite good...."

"No specialties, just good at playing this."

Sui Yi’s words were quite formal and modest, which inexplicably made those who were initially curious and puzzled about Sui Yi lose much of their interest.

Oh, so that’s how it is, then there’s nothing special about you.

Many admirals thought so.

"So, are you sleeping with Zhi Yuan and the others?" General Hong Feng casually asked.

Uh.....

Zhi Yuan and Sui Yi both felt this question was quite awkward to answer.

"Yeah yeah, we’re sleeping together..."

Fatty and Yang Feng managed to say with a breath...

These two guys!

Zhi Yuan hadn’t said anything yet...

"Mr. Sacrificial Wine...."

Everyone instinctively looked towards where the voice came from.

Fairy Jing Hong stood there under the night, stunningly beautiful.

She stood not far away, looking at Sui Yi, and slowly asked, "Twin Dragon?"

Sui Yi sighed inwardly, perhaps half-recognizing, half-doubting.

However, she was not familiar with Fairy Jing Hong at all, unlike Gong Jiu and others who would recognize her easily. The fact that the other could recognize her must be because of the Seven Exquisite Heart.

Is this a code?

"Xunhuan," Sui Yi said softly, causing Fairy Jing Hong’s expression to carry a mix of bitterness and reproach. This mister is really....

"I think we need to have a long talk, mister."

Uh, General Huang Sha and the others were simply astonished by these words.

This is Jing Hong?

Is this the Fairy Jing Hong who didn’t even bother with the likes of Bi Kong or General Huang Sha, those super-rich and handsome CEO types?

Acquainted with this young man in blue?

"Alright."

The fat man said to Yang Feng: Weren’t we supposed to sleep together?

——————

Let’s not talk about why Fairy Jing Hong, who has always been aloof and elegant, would favor an "old friend," even inviting them late at night, leaving Huang Sha and the others utterly baffled with curiosity.

Meanwhile, Sui Yi walked into Fairy Jing Hong’s private tent with his own coat...

Compared to the tent of those three men, this place was noticeably more elegant and gentle. However, Sui Yi noticed Yen Yileng wearing a soft inner garment, revealing her neck and arms.

Sui Yi: "....."

Yen Yileng: "...."

Yen Yileng, still holding her recently removed outer garment, also stared a bit dazedly at Sui Yi, who was holding his own coat.

After a moment, she squeezed her coat and said to Fairy Jing Hong, "Sorry, I thought..."

Under normal circumstances, she would have just bunked with her junior sister for a few nights, sparing herself the hassle of setting up a large tent.

But she never expected someone would bring a man back in the middle of the night...

No matter how pure Yen Yileng’s personality was, she felt embarrassed.

Fairy Jing Hong naturally knew the misunderstanding, and she originally thought Sui Yi, a dignified gentleman—actually a woman—and had a debt of gratitude towards Li Xunhuan, could not be put in the same tent with those men. However, since Mr. Sui was disguised as a man, it was not suitable to reveal her identity.

Thus, she could not clarify to Yen Yileng...

But to really let Yen Yileng stay outside alone all night?

Even though it was not much...

Yet still....

"The Sacrificial Wine is my old friend, not an ordinary man... Ah Yen, if you don’t mind, consider it as making a friend."

Not an ordinary man...

For some reason, these five words left both Sui Yi and Yen Yileng silently speechless for a moment.

Yen Yileng was a bit surprised. If this man were truly Fairy Jing Hong’s beloved, shouldn’t this attitude reflect it? A friend?

What kind of opposite-gender friend would allow Jing Hong to introduce them to her without any concern?

Yet Yen Yileng thought to herself, this person indeed wasn’t ordinary.

It seemed not so strange.

Regardless of this man’s nature, tonight she could not allow him to be alone with Jing Hong, to avoid any unfavorable rumors later.

Thus....

Ten seconds later.

Sui Yi and Jing Hong were drinking wine by the table.

Meanwhile, Yen Yileng was merely drinking tea and reading a book at another side of the tent, very quietly.

What about making friends?

It seemed more like guarding against some "man’s" untoward intentions.

Sui Yi chuckled.

"Each time Teacher appears, it’s a breath of fresh air,"

Fairy Jing Hong remarked.

It was not about looks, but rather about the aura. She sensed that Mr. Sui, who had established his reputation in the Twin Dragon World, had now become even more unfathomable.

"So are you,"

Sui Yi’s words made Jing Hong smile, but she did not elaborate further. She traced the rim of her wine cup and said, "Has Teacher ever encountered Li Xunhuan?"

Quite direct indeed.

"No."

"Could Teacher help me find him?"

"I can."

"Then, would you be willing?"

Jing Hong saw Sui Yi nod, "Why wouldn’t I be willing?"

Sui Yi could indeed find Li Xunhuan, just by spreading out runes to thoroughly investigate the Outer Domain Battlefield.

"But are you really willing to let me help you?"

What a strange question.

Not far away, Yen Yileng slightly lowered her eyes.

Jing Hong pondered for a moment and smiled, "Since he will inevitably come, and I am here, there’s no reason we can’t meet."

"But Teacher coming here, is it also for battle merits and the Blood Refining Stele?"

"Hmm... Just like him, I suppose,"

Sui Yi leaned against a cushion, "I want to bring someone back to life."

Not a lover.

Jing Hong could tell; she poured Sui Yi a drink, "Resurrecting the dead, defying the natural order, requires a considerable price, even for ordinary people. The Blood Refining Stele is particularly demanding... I have inquired before, for an ordinary person, it takes at least ten thousand battle merit points, for a Void-breaker, a hundred thousand.... Although resurrection has many forms, the easiest is shortly after death, when the soul is not yet extinguished, and the body is intact. If the corpse has been decayed for years, it is extremely difficult, but the hardest is when the soul has vanished.... reincarnation, or completely disappeared.... Although Lin Shiyin is an ordinary person, it’s not optimistic, I wonder about the person you want to save?"

Among men, if they have drunk together, at least they are half-brothers.

Women are not usually that casual, but if women like Sui Yi and Jing Hong can drink together, they can at least reveal a lot....

"A Heavenly Venerate,"

Uh...

Jing Hong was left speechless.

Resurrect a Heavenly Venerate?

The Blood Refining Stele fully exposed its vampire nature...

Of course, Sui Yi did not tell them that the one he wanted to save was not just a Heavenly Venerate but a Supreme Level pinnacle Heavenly Venerate.

But....

"No need to worry, there is a way out... Also, Miss Yen, you can come closer, no need to keep glancing at me. Such looks... I might feel shy,"

Fairy Jing Hong turned her head to see this Beauty Swordsman’s awkward look caught in such an act, aside from Sword Dao she had no other interest....

Hmm, was she being teased?

Yen Yileng turned her face, drank her tea, and said softly, "Master Sacrificial Wine is joking... it’s late... will you continue?"

Jing Hong glanced back and forth between the two of them, then suddenly smiled.

"Indeed, it is late, wouldn’t want to disturb Teacher’s rest...." Fairy Jing Hong said, and with a turn of her hand, another small bed appeared beside the sizeable mattress.

Yen Yileng looked at Jing Hong in disbelief.

—What do you want to do?

"You two..."

Yen Yileng looked back and forth between the two, only seeing absolute trust in Jing Hong’s eyes.
