Chapter 1043 Ghost Saint Nation 4

glance, he was truly out of patience with Feng Yu Xi and Feng Ao Tian, this father-daughter pair."Tell the Generalissimo of National Defense to inform the Emperor that these 500,000 troops have all be..."Eat dirt, play."

Wan'er completely let herself go, clinging to Luoli. She didn't sleep for three and a half hours, eating, drinking, going to the toilet—everything was handled by Luoli personally. If she was even slightly unhappy, there would be earth-shattering screams that could be heard for miles around. In just two days, Luoli had been driven to the brink of collapse.

"Chieftain, at this rate, I fear we won't make it back to the Ghost Saint Nation. You'll have to..."

"Be quiet."

Mò Bīng was reprimanded and lowered her head, remaining silent.

Luo Li looked at Wan'er. This was his mission, to bring the child along. Children are naturally kind, he didn't believe he would lose to a child over a year old.

"Wǎn'er, sleep with your master."

"No."

Wan'er's face was full of rejection, and she bounced even more joyfully in front of him.

"Can't sleep."

You don't sleep, I want to sleep.

Luo Li took a deep breath and looked at Wan'er's spirited appearance. This still had to be played for a few more hours. If they continued, it would be dawn.

"Villain."

Wan'er let out a little "ah" and sat down with her butt. Her mouth turned down, she was about to cry, Luo Li was frightened and quickly said, “Don’t, don’t cry, you play, play.”

Wan'er instantly beamed with joy, throwing her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Be good."

Luoli's face turned pale, but she didn't even have the thought to scold him.

He was truly fed up with her crying. He had to find a way to subdue this Wan'er, or before they even reached the Yao tribe, he would be worn out by her incessant weeping.

The next day, as Dugu City had said, they went to the next stop. Ye Xi had already been waiting there, but to their disappointment, they couldn't get a detailed map of the Ghost Saint Kingdom right away. They could only temporarily obtain part of it. The rest of the maps, Ye Mei was already looking for people to confirm. Once the map was confirmed, it would be sent immediately. Even so, it was much more than the map that Luo Li had given them.

"Host, please use."

Upon entering the Tian Xiang Lou, Dugu City was treated to the best hospitality the owner could offer. This time, appearing with Feng Ling Xi, his subordinates were curious, but none dared to ask a single extra word. Dugu City remained masked, concealing his true features.

After all, within the Tianxiang Building, new disciples join every day. Who could guarantee that someone wouldn't leak his information someday

Ye Xi didn't mind. His face could change countless times, making it impossible to tell if the current one was his own.

Feng Lingxi only then understood that on this day, all the shopkeepers in Xiānglóu followed the instructions of the master. As for anything else, they dared not ask too many questions, they just had to do their own jobs well.

"I have a feeling I'm stepping into the world."

Feng Lingxi suddenly spoke, "This time coming out, it's really to go on adventures with you in the world."

"That's just how the world works."

Dugu City patted her head, "Eat more. We'll have to hurry later. My people are still looking for Wan'er's whereabouts. Once there is news, they will notify us immediately. Luoli took Wan'er and a little girl with her. No matter what, they will leave some traces. We follow behind them, as long as there are traces, we can know their location. All the way following, who knows if we can catch up to them."

"Catching up with her was beyond my wildest dreams. As long as I could hear that Wan'er was safe, I would be content."

Feng Lingxi's heart ached as soon as she thought of Wan'er. She really wasn't a qualified mother. Now that Wan'er had been taken away, she realized that she truly loved her. Back when they had an argument, she now regretted it so much.

"Wan'er will not disappoint you."

Now, Dugu Cheng's greatest worry was Xi'er. Last night, after he spoke to her so much, Xi'er's mood had improved slightly, but the cloud of sorrow between her brows remained unchanged, which made him anxious.

Feng Lingxi responded and looked at Ye Xi and Xiao Li who were standing. He beckoned them over, saying, "Let's eat together. Outside, you both worked hard these past few days."

"Wang... Madam, there's no need."

Ye Xi almost exposed his identity, Xiao Li tugged at his sleeve, reminding him, which saved him.

"You all go down."

Dugu City spoke, and the people guarding the door all stepped aside. Only then did Dugu City say, "Let's go together. When we are out and about, there is no need to be so formal."

Ye Xi and Xiao Li just sat down. Ye Xi hadn't closed his eyes since last night until now. He was both tired and hungry, eating very quickly. Having followed the King for so many years, the King treated him like a brother, so he had long been accustomed to his manner of eating.

"Your Highness, when I arrived, I had Yingba inquire about the Yao clan here. Just as my Lord said, all of the Yao clan here belong to the chieftain and we couldn't glean any information. From now on, we can only rely on my Lord."

Feng Lingxi nodded. "We here have all been bought by the people of Luo Li, which means that the closer we get to Gui Sheng Guo, the more people from Luo Li there will be. As the Yaozu Saint Master, I'm afraid that besides our Yaozu land, no one would call me Saint Master."

"Calling you 'Lord' is useless, it's only useful if you listen to me. Now I realize, there are actually different regions within the Yao clan. The elders on that Ghost Saint Nation side must be very powerful and influential, they won't be easy to deal with."

Xiao Li pouted, looking very dissatisfied.

"So what, they want Wan'er to be the clan leader now. That means, no matter how defiant they are, they still have to rely on Wan'er and us. Could it be that they want Wan'er to be a puppet clan leader"

"Xier."

Dugu Cheng suddenly spoke, "You said that Luoli is really the clan leader in Guisheng Country Those elders followed his lead, why did he have to do it himself If he was truly the clan leader, he would just take Wan'er to Guisheng Country. In the end, Wan'er was taken away, and you were going to go anyway, so why did Luoli have to go himself"

Feng Lingxi frowned, hearing what Dugu City said. It seemed to make sense, yet something felt off.

"You mean he's really the puppet clan leader"

"It's hard to say. This Ghostly Saint Nation has always been shrouded in mystery. I've heard tales of their military campaigns, but never any news from them directly. Just hearing the name, don't you find it a little chilling"

"I don't think there's anything to it. When it comes to naming, no one knows what that person was thinking at the time. Perhaps they believed in ghosts and spirits It's really impossible to say for sure."

Feng Ling Xi's idea was different from Dugu City's. As long as she wasn't the puppet chieftain, anything else was negotiable.

Her daughter was taken to be raised as a puppet leader, and she would never agree to that.

There’s one more thing, Xi'er needs to know, how the Ghost Saint Nation’s chieftain is selected, you see. Luo Li is young, he could easily have an heir, why would he insist on Wan'er

"I've been thinking about this the whole time, but once we get to Ghost Saint Country, I think we'll know all the answers we want."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Eat quickly, after eating we'll hit the road. Now all we need to know is that Wan'er is safe and sound. We can think about other things slowly." She must be able to do it, there's still time to get to Guisheng Country, she, a person from the future, will definitely not lose to these ancients.

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were full of determination, she must bring Wan Er back.should still go back quickly, it's not safe here."Gao Yi pointed at the mask on her face."Could I have one of these, please"Feng Lingxi looked at the maidservant beside her, "Give Master Gao one, just...
