Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
"Li Chunxiao, how is the battlefield situation?"
In Xuan Ge's golden eyes, a trace of golden light unique to Harmony lit up.
He did not use a communicator, directly manipulating his own Harmony power to establish a connection with Li Chunxiao.
Until this moment, he had not truly experienced the terror of Harmony power.
Harmony is not an offensive Path, yet its power is comparable to Destruction Paths.
Were it not for his Causality power blessing, back then even if he personally commanded the Shen Wu Army and fought to the death with Xing Xiao — who had not yet entered an ambiguous relationship with him — the one who would lose would most likely be him.
Although the Xian Zhou has records of repelling Xing Xiao, remember — that was only repelling, not killing.
The Antimatter Legion's phantoms are endless; the Xian Zhou cannot achieve this.
Even though the phantoms are weak in strength, under the empowerment of Harmony power, they act in unison, are coordinated in an orderly fashion, and their might remains terrifying.
"General... the battle situation is not good."
Li Chunxiao's voice rang clearly beside Xuan Ge's ear, his tone carrying a hint of gravity:
"Both clans fought too ruthlessly, plus the thunderstorm weather interfered; when our army arrived, on the Eweijin People's side, only a few heavily injured people remained."
"On the Katiqa Clan's side, they refused to submit to discipline, resisted fiercely, and have all been beheaded by our army."
Xuan Ge did not reproach Li Chunxiao for why he did not arrive earlier.
He knew clearly in his heart that this rain was summoned by Kakavasha, and his own appearance was, ultimately, because of Kakavasha.
"Ask those survivors if anyone recognizes Kakavasha." Xuan Ge's tone was flat as he spoke slowly.
Kakavasha in his arms, upon hearing the three words "survivors," his pupils trembled slightly, and crystalline tears unconsciously slid from the corners of his eyes.
He did not dare to proactively ask this man; he had not yet fully trusted him.
"Yes, among the survivors there is a girl who recognizes Kakavasha." Li Chunxiao's voice came back quickly.
Xuan Ge did not respond further, immediately tightening his arms, holding Kakavasha tight, his figure flashing instantly as he rushed toward the battlefield direction.
Along the way, the thunderstorm in the sky seemed to be deliberately trying to stop him; thick bolts of lightning crazily smashed down toward him.
Xuan Ge raised his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping across the sky; without using any power, merely with a look, the sky-full of thunderstorm instantly dissipated, the sky returning to the previous calm rainy day.
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the battlefield.
Kakavasha poked his head out from Xuan Ge's embrace, his eyes urgently searching the corpse-strewn valley for his sister's figure.
In a trance, his vision blurred, his sight switched, and he finally saw that figure he had thought of day and night — his sister.
But he did not rush over immediately, forcibly suppressing the urgency in his heart, turning his head to Xuan Ge and saying softly:
"Thank you."
The corner of Xuan Ge's mouth twitched slightly, his heart full of speechlessness.
This kid, his vigilance toward me is really too heavy, isn't it?
Xuan Ge did not say more, slowly putting Kakavasha down, stepping back two steps to watch him.
Kakavasha did not speak, only extending his hand to gently hold his sister's hand, feeling her faint body temperature.
He saw his sister had fallen into a coma, her face still bearing undried bloodstains, and beside her were placed some things he could not understand at all.
Kakavasha silently thought in his heart — this should be the same as the herbs in the tribe, used to treat his sister's illness and heal her injuries.
Li Chunxiao stood with hands on hips, looking at this little brat who was clearly anxious to the extreme yet forcibly pretending to be composed, then glancing at the unconscious girl on the sickbed.
Without looking closely, he could also tell that this girl, when grown up, would definitely be a beauty embryo.
Li Chunxiao walked quickly to Xuan Ge's side, lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Xuan Ge, you wouldn't still want to..."
He lifted his chin, signaling Xuan Ge to look at the girl on the sickbed, and continued:
"You just picked up a wife and brought two kids, and now another one? Really not afraid the harem won't be peaceful?"
Xuan Ge expressionless, merely fished out his Jade Talisman, fingertips moving slightly, preparing to dial Tian Yier's number.
Seeing this, Li Chunxiao instantly panicked, quick eyes and hands pressing down on Xuan Ge's hand, a face full of apologetic smiles:
"Hey hey~ just joking a moment ago, don't dial, absolutely don't call Yier~"
Kakavasha holding his sister's hand, silent and not speaking, in reality had been secretly observing all along.
Just now when that black-gold armor figure lifted his chin toward this side, he had noticed.
He covertly observed and discovered this black armor figure treated the white-robed man who had carried him here with utmost respect.
Obviously, this white-robed man is the Leader here.
He also noticed the black armor figure's hand wore a ring, while that white-robed man did not.
Kakavasha looked back at his sister, seeing the wound on her neck slowly healing, and finally settled his heart.
He turned his head to Xuan Ge, tone firm as he said: "I don't know your name, nor your identity, but I want to wager a bet for my sister and you."
Li Chunxiao, who was bantering shamelessly with Xuan Ge, hearing this, instantly raised a brow, looked at Kakavasha, and laughed:
"Yo ho~ your sister dared to take a knife alone and fight to the death with bloodthirsty Katiqa people; I originally already thought she was an expert, didn't expect you, this little guy, are also an expert?"
The surrounding Shen Wu Army soldiers also cast their gazes toward Kakavasha, one by one looking with great interest at this tiny figure.
Bet with the General?
This little guy will probably lose even his underwear, and have to pay with his person too.
After all, the last one who dared bet with the General, the person became the General's consort.
"Do you have a stake?"
Xuan Ge crossed his arms, a flicker of interest flashing in his eyes as he looked down at Kakavasha and asked slowly.
Kakavasha didn't hesitate, reaching up to take off the necklace around her neck.
That was the only memento her sister had left her.
But his movement was interrupted by Xuan Ge reaching out: "If you lose, and your sister wakes up, how will you explain to her that you put up the thing she left you as a stake?"
Kakavasha fell silent, not answering, merely placing the removed necklace lightly into her sister's palm.
This action made Xuan Ge's eyelid twitch.
Turns out he had overthought it; this kid never intended to use the necklace as a stake at all.
But the next second, Xuan Ge seemed to realize something, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked: "You want to play with your life?"
Kakavasha still didn't nod, didn't shake her head, just looked quietly at Xuan Ge, her expression calm.
This left Xuan Ge somewhat baffled, but he didn't want to use his power to pry into this little guy's thoughts.
That would be too much bullying.
After a moment, Kakavasha looked at Xuan Ge and said in a flat but firm tone: "You lost. Please marry my sister."
"Puchi—"
Li Chunxiao was the first to lose it, spraying laughter as he pointed at Kakavasha and joked:
"Stinky brat, you didn't even say what the bet was? How did Xuan Ge lose?"
The Shen Wu soldiers beside them also burst into loud laughter:
"Exactly, brat, you didn't say anything, the General didn't agree to anything, how did you judge the General lost?"
Xuan Ge glanced at Li Chunxiao laughing without any decorum, and at the Fourth Army Shen Wu soldiers under his command, and nodded lightly, helplessly.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Li Chunxiao and all the Shen Wu soldiers looked at Xuan Ge with faces full of disbelief, their faces written with shock.
General, you're for real?
A quick-reacting Shen Wu soldier realized it in an instant, and said to Kakavasha with a mix of anger and amusement:
"Stinky brat, you dare play the text blind spot!"
"Holy crap~ impressive!" Li Chunxiao, hearing this, only then belatedly reacted, looking at Kakavasha with a face full of surprise.
"You've got some nerve, old man!" Xuan Ge raised his hand irritably and smacked Li Chunxiao on the back of the head, then looked at the crowd of Shen Wu soldiers and said irritably:
"Li Chunxiao, you are simply the biggest flaw in the Shen Wu Corps culture zone, and the rest of you aren't much better than him!"
Kakavasha watched Xuan Ge nod in agreement and not immediately refute the wager, a trace of gravity and joy flashing in his eyes.
He knew, he had won — from the moment Xuan Ge nodded, he had won.
What he wanted was never any stake, just to find someone who could protect his comatose sister completely.
And this man before him was obviously the best choice.
