After Yan Xiaoliu woke up, his body recovered a lot faster. In less than a day, he looked full of energy.
Mingyu saw that Yan Xiaoliu had recovered and felt relieved. She wanted Ming Xi to take her to the Wasteland City, or to ride horses on the prairie. She had never ridden a horse on the prairie.
"Mingyu, the prairie is too dangerous. There are people from the Dark North Kingdom. What if we meet them?" Yan Xiaoliu whispered. It would be fine if they met ordinary soldiers, but Beitang Xuanyang's whereabouts were unknown. What if they met him?
He had fought with Beitang Xuanyang before. He was a cruel and merciless person. His whole body exuded a beast-like aura. An ordinary person could not deal with him.
Mingyu said, "I will ride in the Jin Kingdom. I won't go too far."
"No, what if we meet Beitang Xuanyang?" Yan Xiaoliu frowned and shook his head. He did not agree with Mingyu leaving the military camp at this time.
"Hmph, it would be good if he could appear. I'm afraid he won't." Fire Phoenix snorted.
Yan Xiaoliu looked at him helplessly.
Mingyu smiled, "Then I won't go today. Take me when you are completely recovered."
"You have been away from the capital for so many days. Have you sent a letter to the emperor?" Yan Xiaoliu rubbed Mingyu's head and asked.
"No …" Mingyu whispered. She secretly ran out of the capital. Without thinking, she knew that her father must be very angry. She pretended not to know and did not write to him.
I knew it would be like this! Yan Xiaoliu smiled bitterly, "Tell the emperor that you are safe. Otherwise, he will worry about you."
"Xiaoliu is right. Mingyu, you should tell uncle that you are safe." Ming Xi said. After they left the capital, Sixth Uncle sent people to find them, but they were faster, so the secret guards were unable to stop Ming Yu. Now that they had arrived at the Wasteland and Yan Xiaoliu had woken up, it was time for Ming Yu to return.
"Alright, but don't think you can send me back to the capital. I will go wherever you go." Mingyu looked at Ming Xi and said.
Ming Xi laughed dryly, "I did not say I would send you back to the capital."
Last time, Mingyu complained that he had abandoned her. He really felt sorry for his sister, so he took her away from the capital.
"You have nothing to do in the Wilderness anyway," Yan Xiaoliu said.
"Who said that? I have a lot of things I want to do," Ming Yu said with a smile. It wasn't easy for her to leave Jingdu City, so she didn't want to go back so quickly.
Shang'er giggled. "There's nothing fun in this military camp. Tomorrow we'll go to the city. We've lived in the city for a while before. It's much more fun than here."
Ming Yu's eyes lit up. "Sure, sure."
Yan Xiaoliu looked at Ming Yu helplessly. He wanted to stop her, but when Ming Yu glared at him, he couldn't do anything.
"With Wen 'er following Ming Yu, you can rest assured," said Ming Xi.
Yan Xiaoliu glanced at Shang'er and thought to himself, this Shang'er is also a little girl, how can she protect Ming Yu?
"Don't look down on her. Even two of you might not be able to beat her." Fire Phoenix said.
What? Yan Xiaoliu was stunned. He suspected that Fire Phoenix was joking.
Ming Xi nodded and said, "Yes, Ming Yu can follow Little Rou without worry."
Hearing Ming Xi say this, Yan Xiaoliu felt a bit more at ease.
"Little Rou, what's fun in Wasteland City?" Ming Yu happily hugged Shang'er's arm, discussing with her what to eat and what to do.
"The city is completely different from here. Although it can't be compared to Jingdu City, it's still pretty good." Shang'er said. She and Ming Xi had lived in Wasteland City for a period of time, so they understood each other quite well.
"Let's go, let's pack up and go play in the city tomorrow." Ming Yu pulled Shang'er out of the tent.
Ming Xi looked at Yan Xiaoliu. "What do you think?"
"I've already recovered my inner strength. I can no longer feel the injury on my chest." Yan Xiaoliu clutched his chest. When he had just woken up, he still felt a bit of pain in his chest, but now he didn't feel anything. Moreover, the speed at which his inner strength recovered surprised him.
"It's good that you've recovered." Ming Xi had said that Yan Xiaoliu's internal energy would naturally recover very quickly. Other than feeding him countless spiritual medicines, he had even absorbed the golden core of the Necrophagous Beast. Perhaps his internal energy would be even more profound than before.
Yan Xiaoliu glanced at Ming Xi. "Ming Xi, thank you. If you hadn't rushed to the Wasteland, I'm afraid I would have died. I'm too useless."
"It's normal that you can't beat Beitang Xuanyang. It's not that you're useless. If it was the real Beitang Xuanyang, even ten of him wouldn't be able to beat you." Ming Xi said. Beitang Xuanyang was a Corpse Devouring Beast, while Yan Xiaoliu was just a mortal. He was not his opponent.
"What do you mean? Could it be that the current Beitang Xuanyang is fake? "Yan Xiaoliu asked in surprise.
Ming Xi said in a low voice, "It's not fake, it's just …" He paused and looked at Yan Xiaoliu. "I heard uncle say that there was a beast that wanted to hurt you?"
Yan Xiaoliu's expression became dignified. "Yes, it suddenly appeared in my tent at night, but I couldn't see what kind of beast it was. I've never seen it before. It looked like it wanted to eat me, and … I think it understood human nature."
"That's a demonic beast." Ming Xi said. "It's not a beast that exists in the human world. It's a demonic beast that came from another place. It took away Beitang Xuanyang's body, so you couldn't beat him."
"What?" Yan Xiaoliu was stunned. He didn't quite understand what Ming Xi was saying.
Ming Xi looked up at Yan Xiaoliu. "That demonic beast is the same as Chou Hen. It doesn't belong to this world. It came from another place, so it's more powerful than us mortals. Back then, my mother and I were brought to another continent by Chou Hen …"
Yan Xiaoliu listened to Ming Xi briefly talk about his life during the four years he had been missing. He was dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time.
"… I'm not telling you this for you to do anything. I just want you to be prepared so that you can protect Ming Yu in the future." Ming Xi said.
"Those demonic beasts that you're talking about … want to hurt Ming Yu?" Yan Xiaoliu immediately recovered when Ming Yu was mentioned.
Ming Xi told him about how Ming Yu was almost assassinated. "We don't know who it is that wants to deal with Ming Yu. Those people … we don't even know who they are."
Yan Xiaoliu's expression was heavy. Hearing Ming Xi say this, it was clear that they weren't ordinary mortals. However, Ming Yu had never been to any other continent. Why would those people want to deal with Ming Yu?
"I won't let Ming Yu get hurt." Yan Xiaoliu said in a low voice.
Ming Xi nodded. "Let's wait for you to rest for two days. We'll test if your inner strength has really recovered."
"No need for two days. We can do it now." Yan Xiaoliu said. "Let's go outside."
"You don't have to force yourself!" Ming Xi thought that Yan Xiaoliu was trying to be brave.
Yan Xiaoliu said, "I'm not trying to be brave. I really feel that I've completely recovered."
