684 Territorial Battle 4

Ji Fengyan couldn't resist pinching Liu Huo's cheeks. He knew how to sweet-talk.

"Alright, take the left tunnel then. I will take the right one." With that, Ji Fengyan turned towards Zuo Nuo. "Zuo Nuo, after you have rested, take the whole team and advance through the middle tunnel."

The still-panting Zuo Nuo widened his eyes in shock. "Take the whole team? Then Miss… uh, General, what about you?"

Ji Fengyan smiled. "Liu Huo and I will each tackle one tunnel. You don't need to bother about us."

Ji Fengyan's statement dumbfounded all the soldiers. They looked incredulously at Liu Huo and her.

One person to a tunnel?

Only these two would ever dare say something so wildly arrogant?

There were still 6,000 Blaze Army soldiers among the 8,000 men. They had bore witness to Ji Fengyan's killing capabilities and were shocked by the ferocity of this young general. As such, they were already more or less immune to Ji Fengyan's grand pronouncement.

It seemed…

Not that difficult to accept.

After all…

They had already seen Ji Fengyan take on a high-level demon by herself.

And without activating her World-Termination-Armour at that.

"General, do you want to bring along a few soldiers?" Zuo Nuo was still worried.

But Ji Fengyan rejected him. "No need, just follow our plan and advance. Liu Huo and I will have our own ways."

Faced with Ji Fengyan's resolution, Zuo Nuo could only accede.

After settling some matters with Zuo Nuo, Ji Fengyan walked over to Liu Huo's side. She pushed a jade pendant into his hand.

Liu Huo raised his brows.

"Isn't it too late to be giving me a love token now?"

"…" Ji Fengyan smacked Liu Huo on the head.

"Be serious. What love token? This is a psychic jade pendant. It can transmit sounds over short distances. Use it to call for me if anything happens to you," Ji Fengyan said seriously.

This psychic jade pendant was rather mystical. Forged using premium jade, it could be used after being infused with just a bit of vital energy—however, it was effective over limited periods and distances. Ji Fengyan had not intended to make use of this instrument, but after discussing attack strategies with Yang Shun, she made a batch and had already given one to Yang Shun. The rest had been distributed to her various team leaders.

Liu Huo smiled and nodded at Ji Fengyan. Without moving his eyes away from her, he carefully kept the psychic jade pendant.

"Anything else?" His steady stare gave Ji Fengyan goosebumps.

Liu Huo said sternly, "A hug."

"…" Ji Fengyan's face froze. She was still not used to being flirted with like this.

Still…

She obediently stepped forward and gave Liu Huo a firm hug.

"Be careful. I will kill you if you get injured." Ji Fengyan whispered.

"I will." Liu Huo gave Ji Fengyan's shoulders a light squeeze before letting go of this young lady who had him so besotted. He then nimbly stepped into the left tunnel.

Ji Fengyan watched as Liu Huo disappeared into the darkness; A warm energy still circled in her chest. She couldn't help chuckling as she looked down. Following that, she headed into the right tunnel.
