Chapter 24
Just like me.
And you are far more free than I am. "
34. A world where only shaved ice hurts has been achieved
As the first person in this world who met someone who could communicate smoothly, Liu Ji actually had countless questions to ask.
But he also understood that the elder brother named Mass was right. Although he didn't know the reason, Yayin was indeed very good to him...
Um……
That being said...
But he didn't know what to do with Ya Yin.
This place didn't look like a suitable place for teaching, and his spell skills were far from high enough to chat smoothly.
Looking left and right, Liu Ji suddenly realized that the shaved ice cup in front of Yayin seemed empty.
He was delighted, now that he had found an angle of entry, he hurriedly went to get two cups of shaved ice from the cart nearby, walked over quickly, brought one of the cups to Ya Yin, and sat opposite Ya Yin. on the chair.
Looking at the new melon shaved ice that appeared in front of her, Yain was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Liu Ji.
Liu Ji grinned, then scooped a spoonful of shaved ice and put it into his mouth.
Well, delicious.
It was indeed the food that made him think about it all the way.
Yayin looked at Liu Ji with confusion on her face.
She opened her mouth to ask why Liu Ji came to her so quickly.
But once she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
It wasn't because of Liu Ji's spell skills, it was just that no matter how she phrased her words, she always felt like she was either trying to drive Liu Ji away or trying to show off her temper.
But she didn’t want to drive Liu Ji away, and she didn’t have a temper to show off...
Seeing that Yayin kept staring at him without saying a word, Liu Ji was a little bit at a loss. He didn't know what to say or how to say it. He scratched his head for a while and could only show a silly smile.
Seeing Liu Ji's stupidity, Yayin was silent for a moment, then suddenly scooped up a spoonful of shaved ice and handed it to Liu Ji.
Liu Ji looked at the shaved ice brought to him and was stunned.
He looked at Ya Yin, then at the shaved ice, scratched his cheek, hesitated for a while, and then tried to open his mouth...
But just when Liu Ji was about to eat the spoonful of shaved ice, Yayin suddenly turned the spoon of shaved ice and stuffed it into her mouth.
Liu Ji was stunned, his brain was running at the speed of light, and he scooped up a spoonful of his own shaved ice with extremely smooth movements and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although it was concealed at least, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward for a while.
Liu Ji's whole body was numb, and he cast a confused look at Mass not far away for help, only to find that the latter was covering his mouth and laughing silently.
What Liu Ji didn't know was that Yayin was even more stupid than him at the moment.
She simply didn't know what she was doing just now, and she didn't know why she was doing it just now?
What was she trying to test with this move? Or do you want to confirm something? I still think back to my old teacher...
No, the teacher never fed me anything.
After all, he was a teacher, not his biological father.
"Hell..." Yayin muttered in her heart, rubbed her head, and as if to vent her anger, she scooped up a big spoonful of shaved ice and stuffed it into her mouth.

Not far away, Callidora was tilting her head slightly, paying attention to the interaction between the two.
"Carly? What's wrong with you?" Mowente asked doubtfully.
"Hmm... I've been meaning to ask before," Callidora whispered, "Who is that green-haired person?"
"Oh, him, I even forgot to introduce you," Mowente said, "He...well, we don't know his name yet. In fact, he is the person we met on the other side of the desert. We can't understand his language."
"Oh yes, you said you have walked out of the desert," Callidora sighed, "Oh, Jilunini and I probably went astray, and you had to turn back..."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. If we weren't lucky enough to be with Yayin, I would have got lost," Mo Wente shrugged, "I won't talk about this anymore, oh yes, you might not believe me if I tell you. When we met him, he was actually a potato plant."
"Potatoes?" Callidora blinked, "What do you mean? Some kind of metaphor you just learned?"
"No, no, no, it's not a metaphor," Mowente waved his hand, "It's just a potato. An extremely large potato plant with leaves over three meters high and a root system that's even scarier. The big cat dug out a bunch of them at that time. I was going to bake it and eat it, but he suddenly turned into a human being.”
"This...well," Callidora pondered for a moment, "That's right. After all, it's a world over the desert. It's not surprising that there are races we don't know about, but...it seems like he and Xiao Ayin are going very arrogantly. close?"
"Well, Yayin said at first that he wanted to find a guide," Mowente shrugged, "but he didn't understand the language, so Yayin was trying to teach him to learn spells."
"Ah? This..." Callidora was a little surprised, "Does this mean he is now Yayin's student?"
"I don't know about this," Mowente scratched his head. "After all, there is a language barrier. I guess they have never talked about this. And you also think Yayin is a bit weird, just to find a guide." She tried to teach spells to a stranger from scratch, and got angry with me, saying that she wanted to recall the past and told me to leave her alone..."
Hearing what Mowente said, Callidora was slightly startled, and then murmured: "Ah... that's it, then it's not surprising..."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mowente asked doubtfully.
However, Callidora did not answer Mowente's question, but continued to mutter to herself: "Hmm, but, hiss... it seems not entirely right... By the way, Mowente, did anything else happen between them later? Before you came."
"Later? Oh, let me think," Mowente said, "At that time, we encountered a team of standard dogs, and we killed them. At that time, the boy helped Yain kill a scout, although he vomited all over afterwards. According to Yain, it was probably the first time he killed someone in his life..."
"Wait, he helped Yain kill a scout?" Callidora frowned, "How did he kill it?"
"Oh, he seems to be able to turn into a bear," Mowente said, "He slapped the scout to pieces with one slap. In fact, He's really good at fighting."
"No, no, no, that's not the point. It was his first time to kill someone, but Yain actually gave him the chance to attack?" Callidora shook her head and said, "No, Vent, this is unreasonable. The situation is definitely not as easy as you said. There are only three of you. Tell the truth, what was your battle situation at that time?"
"This..." Mo Wente was stunned, then he supported his chin and rubbed the lower half of his face with his hands. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Okay, there was a problem with my tactical planning. We didn't have enough people, so I wanted to use the height difference of the cliff to buy time for Yain to chant, but the opponent's scouts were equipped with climbing equipment..."
"In other words, the enemy scouts were close to Yain while she was chanting?" Callidora's voice was slightly higher.
"This, um... But Yain prepared a trap in advance..." Mo Wente said.
"But there are two scouts in a dog team, and Yain did let a man who had never killed anyone help her kill one of them," Kalidora stroked her temples with both hands, "Ha... I finally understand."
"Uh... sorry," Mowente rubbed his nose, "This is indeed my tactical mistake."
"No, your thinking is correct. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have thought that the scouts of the dog team would have such equipment, but you didn't realize one important thing," Kalidora sighed lightly and said seriously, "Yain gave him the opportunity to attack. There is only one possibility, that is, she has no traps to use.
Also, although I don't know the specific situation, judging from this, your and Aosha's situation at the time was definitely not good enough for Yain to make the decision to stop chanting immediately.
In other words, if she wanted to deal with the second scout, she had to stop chanting.
But she must have hesitated at the time. You should understand what the consequences will be if you hesitate for even a second on the battlefield.
If he wasn't there..."
Speaking, Kalidora suddenly stood up.
"Carly?" Mowente was stunned, "What are you doing?"
"I have to thank him," Kalidora said with a smile, "If it weren't for him, I think, maybe I wouldn't have seen you today."
35. As long as the rumor spreads long enough, it will deceive everyone sooner or later
Liu Ji was a little confused.
I didn't know what happened just now. The beautiful girl who was with the black-clothed swordsman suddenly walked to his side, made a salute that Liu Ji didn't know what it meant, and then said to him with a spell to thank him very much.
He didn't understand why he suddenly received a thank you, and thought that the other party had made a mistake.
This strange situation immediately attracted the attention of others. Most people were very confused as to why Kalidora suddenly thanked Liu Ji.
In addition to Mowente who seemed a little embarrassed, there was also Yayin. Yayin seemed to know something. She smiled at Liu Ji and said softly: "I haven't had time to tell them yet, but they found it themselves."
I don't know if it was intentional, this sentence used a spell.
But the difficulty of spells increases exponentially between words, phrases, short sentences, and long sentences. Liu Ji repeated such a long sentence in his mind for a long time, but he still couldn't fully understand the meaning.
He could only hear that he seemed to have done something worthy of gratitude.
But... he obviously didn't do anything, right?
Even if this girl who had never met made a mistake, Ya Yin couldn't have made a mistake, right?
Did he do something extraordinary without knowing it?
Liu Ji was still confused, and saw that Kalidora said something to others again, and then everyone looked at him differently.
Then, as if they were attending an idol handshake meeting, they came over one by one, either patting his shoulders or praising him, which made him feel embarrassed.
Even Misa came over to join in the fun and said to him a mantra: "Hero saves beauty, Wei Ruigude."
I just don't understand.
By the way, how come this guy even knows English?
Hero saves beauty? Him?
Uh… are you talking about the time when he killed someone?
No, that’s not the case. He was just an amateur. He acted on impulse. Seeing that the guy in the cloak didn’t even move at all, Yayin probably didn’t take him seriously at all.
What else could it be?
No matter how Liu Ji thought about it, he still felt that he didn’t do anything.
Anyway, suddenly, everyone’s favorability increased.
“Could it be that my protagonist’s halo is back?” Liu Ji thought to himself.
But… that’s not right…
Isn’t it said that the halo’s favorability increase effect is only effective for women?
What's up with the big cat next to him that's hugging him?
Hmm...
But to be honest, the fur on his body is really comfortable...

After a while of noise, everyone started to talk about business.
Because Liu Ji didn't understand, he could only be in a daze.
Of course, he wasn't the only one in a daze.
The big cat on his right and Lala Fei on his left were also in a daze with him.
These two people who usually don't participate in decision-making and discussion seemed to have found new companions. They sandwiched Liu Ji tightly in the middle and shared with him the melon seeds snacks that Misa had just brought.
Anyway, as long as you have something to eat, it doesn't matter whether you talk or not.
The other three people showed a completely different atmosphere. They put a bunch of things on the table and exchanged all the information they knew in an orderly manner.
After sorting out the intelligence, Yain expressed her conclusion: "I think we have to go back to the other side of the desert quickly. The whereabouts of the others are still unclear, but both Anwanda and Xieluo have the ability to reach the other side of the desert faster than us. Nuoxue, Guoguo and Nabelin are also likely to be with them. The world on the other side of the desert is still unknown to us. We need to reunite with them as soon as possible."
"I agree, but I think we can wait a little. The blood moon in the past two days is not normal," said Kalidora, "I don't know how long this abnormality will last. Maybe we should ask Mr. Mass."
"No, we don't have to be afraid of the blood moon," Yain shook her head, "We can hide out the same way we hid in the past two days."
"Unfortunately, the same method may not work," Mowente interrupted, "I have observed the state of the air when we were closed. The three of us plus that family... that brother can just achieve a certain balance, but if there are two more people, I don't think we can hide in the stone forever."
"This... I didn't notice this," Yain said, frowning and thinking.
Just as Mo Wente said, Liu Ji's air purification speed has a limit. If it exceeds this limit, they will have to open the window for ventilation.
But the bone beasts in the desert, even if they just open a small hole in the rock wall, can't escape their keen perception.
When everyone was struggling, Misa came over.
"Friends, how about you listen to my advice?" Misa pulled out a chair and sat down, with his hands casually placed on the table, "Although I sincerely hope that you can stay for a long time, I can see that you are not the kind of people who are willing to stay here to live out your years."
"We are very grateful that you can provide us with so much help. If possible, we also want to stay to repay your kindness," Yayin said seriously, "but we do have other things to do."
"No, you don't have to repay me. Maybe you think I have helped you a lot, but in my opinion, I am just acting on my own accord," Misa said, "I just heard you say that you are worried about the problem of Hongyue?"
"Ah, yes," Yayin nodded, "Do you know any relevant information?"
