Fang Xiyue shook her head, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of petulance, "No, she was in the wrong first. Besides, we don't have any relationship anymore."
Looking at Fang Xiyue in the distance, Xing Yuan wanted to go over and apologize, but she wasn't sure if she could get Ah Jie's forgiveness. Her brow furrowed into a tight knot.
After thinking for a long time, Xing Yuan began to seek help, "Tian Ling, do you know how to coax someone who is angry?"
Tian Ling jolted awake, the entire beast groggy. Master called it, wasn't this plane not over yet? Did Master need it for something?
Xing Yuan asked again, and this time Tian Ling was completely sober. It understood, Master had angered Immortal Lord Yue again! No wonder Master was looking for it so suddenly!
"Master, what did you do?" Tian Ling was extremely curious. Usually, Master would block it when nothing was happening, and there was nothing fun for it to do in the space, so it just slept all day. It was rare to have someone to talk to, so Tian Ling didn't want the conversation to end so quickly.
"You don't need to know! Just tell me if there's a way!" Xing Yuan didn't want to answer. What if Tian Ling went back and spread rumors? She had to nip the danger in the bud.
"Isn't Master good at some things? Why not try those methods?" Tian Ling sincerely offered its opinion. It felt that Master was only good at these methods, and more importantly, Immortal Lord Yue seemed to fall for them.
"This time it's a bit serious, I'm afraid the chance of success is not high." Xing Yuan was dejected. If it were useful, she would have used it long ago. For Ah Jie, what was face? She was willing to do anything.
But she knew Ah Jie too well. Every time Ah Jie was this angry, her methods were completely useless.
"How about sending some food?"
"No!"
"Then perform a magic trick for her?"
"No!"
"How about a bitter strategy?" Tian Ling racked its brains, tears streaming down its face. As a single beast, why was it here thinking of ways to coax a wife? Wouldn't it be better to find a wife with this time?
"It seems like this can be tried." Xing Yuan's eyes lit up. She didn't seem to have used a bitter strategy on Ah Jie before! Why not try it.
Xing Yuan used it and discarded it, throwing Tian Ling back into the space.
Tian Ling whimpered inwardly. It was almost growing fur staying here. How could it get Master to let it out for some fresh air? Tian Ling began to seriously consider this question. Besides helping to traverse different worlds, what other use did it have?
With a plan in mind, Xing Yuan called Yuan Yi aside. After giving him a few instructions, Yuan Yi nodded and quickly took a few people up the mountain.
Soon after, several gunshots were heard, and over twenty bandits quickly surrounded them.
"It seems our luck is pretty good today, we've even run into some big fish!" The middle-aged man in the lead whistled, his face full of excitement.
"Oh! There are quite a few women too. Why don't we take them back for the brothers to be wives! Have a few chubby babies next year, and add more people to the mountain." Someone beside him jeered.
Xing Yuan held the gun, her eyes full of anger. While coaxing her wife was important, it was absolutely unbearable for others to dare to flirt with her wife in front of her.
She immediately disregarded the plan to get injured and said, "Attack!"
Several people quickly jumped out from behind the bandits and started shooting at them. The bandits were standing together, and under the dense gunfire, although there was some counterattack, they were all dead in a short while.
Xing Yuan vented her anger but began to worry about how to continue the act. Xing Yuan looked at Fang Xiyue, who was startled by the scene, and suddenly had a good idea.
Xing Yuan walked up to Fang Xiyue and crouched down, her face showing a scared expression, "Ah Yue, I'm a little scared, can you stay with me?"
Although her acting was clumsy, Fang Xiyue, who was genuinely startled, didn't react immediately and obediently stroked Xing Yuan's head.
She gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid!"
The others looked at this "tough guy showing tenderness" and couldn't bear to watch. When did their Major General become like this?
Feng Nianxing, the only one present who knew Xing Yuan was a woman, was stunned. He had always thought those people were just A Yuan's friends, but now it seemed a little off. Could it be that Xing Yuan had been disguised as a man for too long and really thought of herself as a man?
That would be a sin! Feng Nianxing sighed inwardly, but he didn't step forward to stop it, just quietly watched the development of events.
"What are you afraid of? I should be the one who's scared!" Fang Xiyue reacted and immediately withdrew her hand, saying sarcastically.
"Yes, I'm not afraid! Then can I protect Ah Jie?" Xing Yuan also stood up directly, grabbed Fang Xiyue's hand, and blinked her eyes.
"No need." Fang Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, and she withdrew her hand, coldly refusing. She would never believe her nonsense again, never.
"I was wrong! Ah Jie, please forgive me this once! As long as Ah Jie is willing to forgive me, I'll do anything." Xing Yuan looked at Fang Xiyue with a sincere face, her tone full of pity.
"What qualifications do I have to ask the Major General for forgiveness! We were never a good match." Fang Xiyue turned her head away, not looking at Xing Yuan. She was afraid of being tricked by her pitiful appearance again and softening her heart.
"Sister~ I really didn't mean to hide it from you. I wanted to tell you before, but you said you hated warlords the most, so I didn't say it." Xing Yuan threw all pretense of dignity away. Her wife was almost gone, so what was the point of maintaining the image of a cold and aloof Major General?
"Really?" Fang Xiyue's expression softened slightly. How could one so easily let go of someone they truly loved?
"Mhm, mhm." Xing Yuan quickly nodded, "Sister, I won't lie to you anymore. Please forgive me!"
"Anymore? Then do you still have anything you're hiding from me?" Fang Xiyue keenly sensed the problem in her words, meaning she had lied to her before.
Xing Yuan paused for a few seconds, then whispered, "A little bit, really, just a little. I'll tell you when we get to Xingyu City, okay? It's not convenient right now."
Fang Xiyue looked at Xing Yuan's troubled expression and didn't want to make things difficult for her. She said calmly, "Then when you can be truly honest, we can reconcile!"
"Ah Jie~" Xing Yuan, looking pitiful, gently grabbed her sleeve, her face full of pleading.
"Let's talk about other things later! I'm tired now." Fang Xiyue's voice softened a little. For some reason, she always softened towards her.
"Okay, then Ah Jie, get some good rest. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it for you!"
In the following days, during every rest period, Xing Yuan busied herself around Fang Xiyue, running back and forth. This made everyone's impression of her mighty image vanish. Although they still respected her, there was an invisible reduction in the distance between them.
