Chapter 312: Chapter 305: Can’t Stand the Harassment
"Our world also has many different races, just like here, but in our world, racial characteristics aren’t as pronounced as yours." Cheng Ziang explained.
"Oh!" Feliz nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Speaking of which, your name is Feliz, isn’t it?" Cheng Ziang asked her. He had seen her at the academy, and it seemed that from that time onwards, she seemed to have a thing for Luo’er.
"Feliz Uzstas!" Feliz nodded in response.
"How did you get to know Luo’er?" Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but ask.
"As for us," Feliz paused for a moment, a bashful expression crossing her face, she hesitated for a while before slowly saying, "I came to know him because of Audrey. At that time, he was Audrey’s slave... Of course, that’s what he told me. I couldn’t stand Audrey having such a slave, so I wanted to take him away from Audrey... "
Her voice got softer as she spoke, expressing shame for her once naive actions.
"You young girls..." Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but shake his head, resting his chin on his hand.
The conversation ended there, the atmosphere returning to silence. Baiyue was still sitting alone by the fire, engrossed in cleaning her sniper rifle. She really loved this rifle, so she was always very careful when cleaning it. Perhaps besides Luo’er, this rifle was the only thing she truly cared for.
Last time, due to a bump on the sniper scope, it had affected her accuracy, so now, she was very careful with the scope on her rifle, always handling it gently to avoid any bumps.
"Has she always been like this?" Feliz looked at Baiyue and couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s because you are here, she’s uncomfortable around strangers!" Cheng Ziang rolled his eyes and answered truthfully.
He wasn’t wrong, Baiyue wasn’t good at interacting with strangers, so when there were strangers around, she was always morose. Of course, Cheng Ziang was also the kind to put on a chilly facade in front of outsiders, but now that he had to take control, he had no choice but to drop his cold persona.
Of course, Baiyue’s silence wasn’t just due to Feliz being a stranger, there was also the issue with Luo’er. Right now, she was extremely worried about Luo’er, because she noticed in the daytime, Tangmo is capable of hurting Luo’er, he’s not the Tangmo from the past anymore, so Luo’er is in great danger with her.
"Hey, hi... can I talk to you?" Feliz glanced at Baiyue and asked hesitantly.
"You better not talk to her, she’s in a bad mood right now!" Cheng Ziang advised from the side.
Feliz glanced at him and then at Baiyue, visibly feeling aggrieved.
"That... will Audrey really hurt Luo’er?" After slipping back into silence, Feliz could not help but ask again.
"Didn’t you see it with your own eyes?" Cheng Ziang shrugged and replied.
"I don’t think Audrey is that kind of person, she was my classmate before, so I know her quite well. She’s like a completely different person now." Feliz said.
As the Advance Team spoke, half of them were using Tasta, the other half used Chinese, so Feliz couldn’t catch their entire conversation, naturally, she didn’t know about Tangmo’s personality change.
"Probably..." Cheng Ziang responded evasively. He had no plans to explain every detail to Feliz, after all, she was just Luo’er’s friend, not a friend of the headquarters, so she wasn’t entitled to know the inner workings of the Advance Team.
"We need to act quickly, today when she threatened Luo’er, she even cut his throat." Feliz expressed her worries.
"Whether we are quick or not, we can’t travel right now, with Yalunte watching, I am quite reassured." Cheng Ziang looked at his fingers and calmly replied.
"From your expressions, it’s as though Luo’er isn’t your friend." Feliz glared at him discontentedly and then complained.
"I am also concerned about Luo’er, but I’m not as bullish as you, impatience won’t solve the problem. You don’t even understand this simple fact, you truly are a little girl..." Cheng Ziang’s voice got softer and softer, he didn’t dare to let her hear him. Despite calling her a little girl, his own age wasn’t much greater than Feliz’s.
Once again, he had exhausted the topic, and the three of them fell into silence. However, it didn’t last long before Feliz spoke again: "Hey, I have another question for you!"
"Why do you have so many questions?" Cheng Ziang sighed and asked her discontentedly.
"Are you angry?" Feliz cautiously asked as she observed him.
"No, just a bit impatient!" Cheng Ziang honestly replied with a stern face.
"Then answer my last question!" Feliz said.
"..." Cheng Ziang fell silent, as he was speechless.
"That, Luo’er... is he... also from the Otherworld?" After hesitating for a while, Feliz finally managed to ask.
"What do you want to ask?" Cheng Ziang glanced at her and then asked.
"I want to know if Luo’er’s mother is..." Feliz didn’t finish her sentence, closing her mouth as she didn’t know how to continue.
Even though she stopped speaking, Cheng Ziang understood what she wanted to ask and after considering for a moment, he responded to Feliz’s question: "Luo’er’s mother was not a slave, she was in love with Luo’er’s father and they had Luo’er. Luo’er’s father was what you call a person from the Otherworld, so naturally, Luo’er also belongs to the Otherworld."
"Oh!" Feliz nodded in agreement.
"What’s up?" Cheng Ziang saw her strange expression and asked involuntarily.
"Luo’er told me he’s a Southerner; he was captured during a battle with the Judgment Legion and became a slave. Then, he was sold to Odelanqi." Feliz said indignantly, apparently still holding a grudge against Luo’er for deceiving her.
Cheng Ziang rolled his eyes, couldn’t help but laugh, and a phrase popped out of his mouth, "Men’s mouths are deceptive as ghosts."
"What do you mean?" Feliz asked, tilting her head. She didn’t understand because Cheng Ziang was speaking Chinese.
"Nothing, just an observation," Cheng Ziang casually remarked.
"Is this your Otherworld language?" Feliz asked him.
"What’s up?" Cheng Ziang noticed her hesitant manner.
"Nothing, it’s just that Luo’er once used the same language with me, but he didn’t explain what it meant," Feliz said.
"What did he say?"
"Hmm," Feliz raised her head thoughtfully, then stuttered out a strange sentence in Chinese: "Hou...Wei...Yo....Xi..."
"It must be the phrase ’we will meet again,’ right?" Cheng Ziang guessed correctly.
"Yes, yes, yes, you’re so smart, how did you know?" Feliz looked at him with admiration.
"How do you think I knew?" Cheng Ziang rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"What does it mean?" Feliz asked, tilting her head.
"It means, we’ll meet again!" Cheng Ziang translated succinctly.
"Oh, such an impressive prophecy. No wonder I see him again!" Feliz exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s clearly because you came to find him..." Cheng Ziang muttered, no longer wanting to engage in conversation with Feliz.
By this time, Baiyue was already dozing off, rifle in hand. Seeing this, Cheng Ziang stood up and walked over to her, whispering, "You two go to sleep first, I’ll keep watch tonight!"
Baiyue lifted her head to look at him, then nodded without rejecting his kindness. She struggled to stand up from the ground, yawning in the process.
"Show her how to use a sleeping bag, I can’t be bothered to deal with her anymore," Cheng Ziang glanced at the yawning Feliz, then said to Baiyue. He was afraid that if he walked over there himself, Feliz would keep pestering him with questions.
Baiyue listened to him, paused a moment, then nodded somewhat reluctantly.
She slowly approached Feliz, her slow pace hiding her nervousness. Feliz, who was sitting by the fire yawning and hugging her knees, looked surprised at Baiyue’s approach.
Baiyue gave her a quick glance, said nothing, and went straight towards their belongings, where she pulled out two folded sleeping bags.
She then spread them out in front of the fire, pointed at Feliz, and then at one of the sleeping bags, indicating that she should use it.
Although Feliz was somewhat puzzled by Baiyue’s actions, she still understood her intentions and moved towards the sleeping bag.
Seeing that Feliz understood her, Baiyue breathed a small sigh of relief, then slowly unzipped her sleeping bag and crawled in. She was moving very slowly on purpose so that Feliz could learn from her.
Feliz understood her intentions and mimicked her actions, crawling into her own sleeping bag. Seeing her inside the sleeping bag, Baiyue finally relaxed and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.
"Hey..." Just as she was about to drift off, she heard Feliz whispering her name. She opened her eyes to see Feliz’s wide eyes staring at her.
"Your name is Bai... Baiyue, right?" Feliz was still unfamiliar with her name.
"Yes!" Baiyue nodded blankly.
Seeing her nod in response, a small smile spread across Feliz’s face. Then, she whispered, "Thank you, goodnight!"
Hearing her words, Baiyue was taken aback, then a warm feeling filled her heart. She had been worried about Luo’er all day, and didn’t expect to get such brief comfort before going to sleep.
"Goodnight!" Baiyue, in a rare moment, gave Feliz a smile back, and responded in kind.
With their eyes closed, the surroundings once again quieted down, filled only with the faint chirping of insects and the crackling sound of burning wood.
Cheng Ziang stared up at the night sky, yawning involuntarily. He wondered how Luo’er was doing. He had initially thought this was a simple mission, but didn’t expect it to turn into such a big event. He was relieved that Luo’er had the foresight to appoint him as a deputy while serving as the captain himself. Otherwise, he really didn’t know how things would have turned out for their squad.
