Chapter 478 Elbow Turned Outward

With the danger resolved, the group quickly returned to their rooms.

The current situation in Zhenbei City is precarious; while the Zhenbei Army is one aspect, how to counter the impending attack of the Nine Demons is an even greater problem!

However, after entering the room, the atmosphere became a bit off.

Ji Wugou didn’t sense any issue and instinctively sat beside Chen Fei.

This behavior truly made Ji Cheng and Ji Lin feel a bit overwhelmed! In their hearts, their Young Miss naturally had no flaws; it must have been this rotten boy, Chen Fei, who led their Young Miss astray!

But Ji Wugou’s protectiveness was so obvious that the two Heavenly Dao Realm Experts could only glare fiercely at Chen Fei.

If looks could kill, Chen Fei would have been slowly tortured to death by now!

“The situation is like this: the Yao Race is about to launch a full-scale invasion, and the Zhenbei Army is leaderless. We must find a way to deal with this situation!” Chen Fei said in a deep voice, but despite the seriousness of the matter, there were two pairs of wide-staring eyes beside him…

Chen Fei finally couldn’t hold back anymore: “I say, you two, if you have something to say, just say it directly!”

Ji Wugou looked up at Ji Cheng and Ji Lin.

Ji Cheng, who was originally indignant and about to curse Chen Fei for being an unfilial person, was instantly pulled by Ji Lin. Seeing Ji Wugou’s expressionless face, he could only grit his teeth and say, “No! We just want to thank Young Master Chen for taking care of our Young Miss!”

Chen Fei could only shake his head helplessly at his gritted teeth expression.

“Lord Jin, I want to know if you can provide sufficient strategic supplies. If there is an ample supply of Medicinal Pills, even if the Yao Race army invades, it won’t be so terrifying!” Chen Fei turned to Jin Buhuan and asked.

Chen Fei also found it difficult to make bricks without straw; after all, war requires logistical support. If there isn’t an ample supply of Medicinal Pills, why would anyone fight against Demon Cultivators!

Is it for the residents of Zhenbei City?

What a joke!

When it comes to life and death, no one will act rashly.

Hearing Chen Fei’s inquiry, Jin Buhuan pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Chen, you needn’t worry about this. While top-grade Medicinal Pills are indeed scarce, if it’s combat supplies, I can guarantee provision!”

“That’s good!” Chen Fei nodded, letting out a slight breath.

Thankfully, with logistical support, there was a glimmer of hope for this war, and they weren’t fighting alone; Ji Wugou was here after all!

Jin Buhuan was also deeply shocked at this moment.

Although Chen Fei described it casually, judging from the situation in the Yao Race Secret Realm, Chen Fei’s survival was by no means something that could be explained in a few words! Most importantly, King Zhenbei had actually died!

That was a genuine Heavenly Dao Realm Peak expert!

According to Chen Fei’s account, Zhenbei City was now in a precarious state. Without a Heavenly Dao Realm Peak expert to oversee it, once the Northern Wilderness Demon Clan launched a full-scale attack, how would they resist? Human wave tactics?

What a joke! The combined population of the entire Zhenbei City might not even be enough for a Heavenly Dao Realm Expert to kill!

But since Chen Fei had expressed his stance, Jin Buhuan couldn’t say much more. Since he had gambled correctly last time, he believed he could do so again this time!

“Fellow Daoist Chen, I will go prepare immediately! However, since Zhenbei City has no Heavenly Dao Realm Expert overseeing it, this matter still requires careful consideration!” Jin Buhuan cupped his hands and said.

It was clear that he was not optimistic about this matter.

Chen Fei, however, smiled: “Lord Jin, you are mistaken! How can there be no Heavenly Dao Realm Expert? You are blind to Mount Tai; these two are both Heavenly Dao Realm Experts of the Ji family!”

Ji Cheng’s face instantly darkened.

It was already good enough that he hadn’t sought trouble with this boy, yet this boy was actually scheming against them? Did he really think they wouldn’t dare to act!

“Don’t overthink it. Although we are here, we have no intention of taking action!” Ji Lin sneered, and then glanced at Chen Fei.

But no sooner had Ji Lin finished speaking than Ji Wugou’s displeased voice rang out: “Fourth Uncle, I was almost killed by the Yao Race just now!”

“What? These Yao Race dared to be so bold! They are simply courting death!” Ji Lin immediately became enraged: “Young Miss, rest assured, this matter will definitely not be left at that!”

Ji Cheng also immediately stated: “This is a provocation to the dignity of my Ji family! We will absolutely not let this matter go lightly!”

Seeing the two of them express their stance so directly, Ji Wugou couldn’t help but look at Chen Fei, a suppressed smile on her lips, her eyes conveying the expression of “Praise me! Hurry and praise me!”

Ji Cheng and Ji Lin immediately reacted to Ji Wugou’s expression, which made them even more convinced that their Young Miss must have been manipulated by this boy, Chen Fei!

Damn it!

Chen Fei glanced at Ji Wugou, then said expressionlessly: “Then I will first thank the soldiers and people of Zhenbei City on behalf of both of you!”

“No need to be so polite! We are not acting for Zhenbei City, nor for you!”

“That’s right! Anyone who offends Young Miss deserves to die!”

Ji Cheng and Ji Lin were full of suppressed anger and could only express their silent resistance in this way.

Chen Fei didn’t care; as long as the two of them were present, even if Nine Demons led the Northern Wilderness army to invade, Chen Fei wasn’t too worried!

“Young Miss, it’s getting late, and we have some matters we’d like to verify with Chen Fei.” Ji Cheng glanced at Ji Wugou, then said softly.

Ji Wugou at this moment deeply missed the days of being alone with Chen Fei. Now with Ji Cheng and Ji Lin, she couldn’t be willful and could only nod and say, “Then you two hurry up, his time is very precious!”

Ji Cheng and Ji Lin exchanged glances, feeling extremely speechless.

What does that mean? Chen Fei is just a small Earthly Realm cultivator. Does his time really become more precious than a Heavenly Dao Realm Expert? Is there no justice left!

Although they were full of complaints, they dared not show the slightest on their faces. They cupped their hands and said, “Young Miss, rest assured, we will not do anything to Young Master Chen! However, since this is an invasion by the Yao Race army, we also have some matters that need to be verified with Young Master Chen!”

“Alright!” Ji Wugou finally relaxed when she heard this, waved her hand, and got up to leave. As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped: “Chen Fei, I want to eat barbecue!”

“After this matter is over, I’ll personally grill it for you!” Chen Fei glanced at her back and agreed.

Ji Wugou didn’t look back, but a smile curved her lips, and her body seemed to lighten considerably as she walked straight out.

After Ji Wugou left, Ji Cheng and Ji Lin stared at Chen Fei, scrutinizing him up and down without speaking, just observing.

Finally, Chen Fei couldn’t help but say, “You two, time waits for no one; it’s best to speak now if you have something to say!”

“Boy, you should know Wugou’s identity. I advise you not to be presumptuous!”

“The Ji family will never allow outsiders to integrate! You must understand this, so I advise you not to harbor any improper thoughts!”

The two spoke one after another, looking at Chen Fei with sinister gazes.

Chen Fei looked at them speechlessly, then got up and said, “I think you two had better make this clear to Ji Wugou! I have something else to do, if you’ll excuse me!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Cheng and Ji Lin’s expressions grew even gloomier. What did he mean? Was this boy implying that their Young Miss was eagerly pursuing him? How shameless!
