The night in the Wasteland was not quiet, and there were many hidden dangers. After all, in places where there were people, wild beasts were somewhat suspicious, but in the Wasteland, it was different. This was their world.
Leng Hong Xiu sat quietly on a clean patch of land that had been cleared out by Mu Lian and Feng You Ran together. Yun Ri Yang also helped Feng You Ran clean up the dense grass within a radius of 30 feet. They then sprinkled a circle of yellowish powder along the edge of the clean ground.
After this was done, he began to pick up the hay and cut down the dried thorns, preparing to start a fire.
The further west they went, the colder the weather became. In addition, because this wasteland had always been a wasteland, it gave off a bone-chilling feeling at night. The wind was not small, and as they looked into the darkness of the night, it seemed as if there was no end to it.
It was simply unimaginable that there were only two countries in the entire continent, and they were actually separated by such a wide area of wasteland. This meant that the two countries would never be able to integrate and unify for a long time, after all, no matter which country wanted to rule the other, they would have to cross the entire wasteland. It was already very difficult for them to travel across the entire wasteland just once, and if they were to march through war, a large number of troops and carriages, both financial and material resources, would have to carefully measure it before any country's emperor could make such a decision.
Even if they managed to take him down with great difficulty, it wouldn't be an easy task to gain complete control and control over him!
If that was the case, then the reason why the Duke of Xiangxi, Yun Liu, allowed the emperor to ascend to the throne and capture Feng You Ran in the nine cities was likely because of personal resentment. Furthermore, the wanted poster given by the Emperor was only a result of being used because of the personal resentment of Yun Liu, so Leng Hong Xiu more or less understood what was going on in the capital.
Of course, Leng Hong Xiu did not know that Sen Luo's attempt to sow discord was of great use.
At this moment, she was just like a noble queen, looking at the three of them working in peace.
The black flint was taken out and polished a few times. Then, the red sparks fell into the pile of grass and thorns. The flames quickly spread and the bonfire was ready.
Yun Ri Yang took out his own cloak from his bag and walked over to Leng Hong Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Leng Hong Xiu raised her head to look at him and flatly refused, "I'm not cold, why don't you wear it yourself!"
"Red Sleeves!" Are you still mad at me? "
Yun Ri Yang was not sure if it was because he mentioned to her yesterday that he wanted her to take away the child, but he did not want to make a cold war with Leng Hong Xiu over this matter. Although Leng Hong Xiu was ruthless and cold, it did make him feel afraid, but after thinking and rushing through the day, he still felt that since he was hopelessly in love with her, then all her strengths and weaknesses would have to be tolerated.
If that was the case, he wouldn't have liked her. It would have been better if he had just turned around and walked straight back to the capital. He believed that the moment he opened his mouth, his royal father would prepare thousands of beauties for him to choose from. But that way, he wouldn't be happy because none of those women were Leng Hong Xiu.
Leng Hong Xiu's brows swept over him, and said coldly and directly: "I have never been angry at anyone, and if that person makes me angry, I will immediately kill him."
"Does that mean you aren't angry because of what I said yesterday?" After hearing Leng Hong Xiu's explanation, Yun Ri Yang became happy and immediately added on.
"Don't you understand? Yun Jiu, I really don't understand what you're thinking. You should have gone back to your palace long ago.
Although Feng You Ran liked her too, she could tell that the so-called liking was just to establish her usefulness for him. If she wasn't like the current Leng Hong Xiu, a utilitarian like Feng You Ran probably wouldn't place too much importance on her. However, this Yun Ri Yang couldn't help but make her feel puzzled and troubled, as if he didn't want to get anything from her: pure love? Leng Hong Xiu could not help but snort disdainfully.
"Yeah, I feel comfortable doing anything with you." Yun Ri Yang looked at her seriously and said softly. His expression was as sincere as that of a pure child. Leng Hong Xiu was also slightly dazed. She quickly said in an even colder tone, "Idiot!"
When Yun Yang heard Leng Hong Xiu's tone, he could not help but smile, as if he had heard something bad from her tone.
Very soon, he brought the cloak over again. "Stupid then! I am willing to be stupid to you. It's a windy night in the Wasteland. Even though you're not cold, it's still good to use this to shield against the wind. "
This time, Leng Hong Xiu only frowned, but did not stop him. She let Yun Ri Yang come to her side and gently put the thick cloak around her shoulders.
"Red Sleeves, the water's warm. Do you want it?"
Beside the bonfire, Feng You Ran was once again unhappy. It seemed that Yun Ri Yang had more methods than him, but Leng Hong Xiu actually allowed him to get close with a smile on his face?
Leng Hong Xiu nodded her head slightly. Before she could finish her sentence, Yun Ran had already turned around to fetch Feng You Ran some water. She had the intention of playing the role of a servant to the end.
Unfortunately, Feng You Ran didn't give him that chance. Instead, he personally carried the water over and placed the warm bowl into Leng Hong Xiu's hands. "Hong Xiu, the water temperature is just right. "It must have been hard on you. Although we travelled quite fast today, the deeper we went, the more desolate it became. I'm afraid we will need to walk for another half a month before reaching the end of the month."
No matter how thirsty she was, it was always the same, because only in this way would she be able to fully replenish the water within her body, and not once would the water once again drain away from her body. No matter what, water was very important to a person, especially in this kind of environment where not a single drop of water could be wasted.
Returning the empty bowl to Feng You Ran, she treated him as a servant without any worries. Feng You Ran was elated. He felt that Leng Hong Xiu treated him like the same person she would treat Yun Ri Yang with.
In this world, the only person who would dare to treat his esteemed master as a lowly servant would be the arrogant woman in front of him. However, when he thought about how his noble master was on par with his own master, after Yun Yangyang's various connivance, his heart felt a bit more at ease. After all, compared to the bowing and groveling of the Ninth Prince of the Rising Sun Country, he was as shameless as a person as he was, as if his master was just a bowl of water.
"Red Sleeves, do you want more? There are still a lot of them over there. "
"Enough." Leng Hong Xiu's thin lips spat out two words.
"Well then, what would you like for dinner? Steamed buns with beef on them, or roast lamb legs with film?" Feng You Ran was like a boy servant trying to please his master as he asked politely.
"Steamed buns, beef." It was the same simple words.
When she heard the name of the food, Leng Hong Xiu felt a huge sense of hunger surge out from her stomach. Previously, she thought that her appetite had increased tremendously, but now, she had found out the reason for her abnormality, it was because she was pregnant with a seed of the Limitless Sword. However, at this moment, she had no other choice, because the feeling of hunger was not good, and there was no reason for her to not live with her body.
At this moment, Mu Ren had already brought out a clean piece of white cloth and spread it on the ground. However, Feng You Ran quickly brought out the fragrant beef and steamed buns that he had packed from the inn and placed them in front of Leng Hong Xiu.
As Yun Ri Yang did not bring anyone with him, naturally no one came to serve him. Fortunately, he was not particular about it, and he also took a fat lamb leg and began to eat.
As usual, Leng Hong Xiu had eaten all three of them together.
After dinner was eaten in silence, it was time for him to go to bed.
The few of them brought the horses that had already eaten their fill into the circle. After all, horses were an important means of transportation for them to travel through the Wasteland, so they couldn't lose them.
The skillful ones made them crawl to the ground to sleep. Then, they slept on their horses' stomachs, leaving Mu Jean to keep watch.
At first, they were still vigilant and did not really fall asleep.
However, they were tired for the entire day. On top of that, due to Leng Hong Xiu's urgency in rushing on the road, everyone had overexerted themselves and by the second half of the night, they had already fallen into a deep slumber without caring about anything else. As for the person who had volunteered to be on night watch, Mu Yi, he too had fallen asleep with his sword in his hand.

Suddenly, Leng Hong Xiu opened her eyes.
It was unknown when the bonfire had been extinguished, but the sky had yet to light up. Furthermore, this was the darkest moment before dawn.
Leng Hong Xiu sat up slowly. In the pitch black night, she could clearly see those pairs of eyes that glowed with a cold green light. Damn, they were actually wild wolves.
Suddenly, all the sense of danger in his body was fully unleashed.
Leng Hong Xiu quickly stood up, the USP in her sleeve was already in her palm, her eyes motionless as she stared at the wolf pack that was less than 10 meters away from her.
The tip of her foot kicked Yun Yang's leg who was closest to her, but there was no reaction. Leng Hong Xiu's heart sank a little.
