Chapter 2924: Unable to Bear
Ye Liuyun walked to the chamber of commerce entrance, and immediately the sales attendants surrounded him, but he only looked at Qin Mengxi.
Qin Mengxi also saw Ye Liuyun at that moment, and tears immediately flowed uncontrollably.
These past days, in order to find Ye Liuyun, she had endured much hardship and even experienced danger; at a place like the chamber of commerce, her nerves had been tense every day.
Now that she had seen Ye Liuyun, all her grievances could no longer be held back, and they surged into her heart all at once. She stood frozen in place, her mind blank.
She kept muttering: "I finally see you!"
Ye Liuyun looked at her like that, also feeling unable to bear it, and walked straight over.
At this moment, the nearby sales attendants also realized that Ye Liuyun was the person Qin Mengxi had been looking for. They had also heard that Qin Mengxi was here to find someone. Seeing the expressions of the two, they roughly guessed the situation, so they stopped surrounding Ye Liuyun and instead watched the two, paying attention to how things would develop.
Ye Liuyun walked all the way to stand opposite Qin Mengxi, raised his hand and wiped her tears.
"These past days have really been hard on you! Why go through this again?"
Qin Mengxi also finally couldn't hold back, crying out "wah" and throwing herself into Ye Liuyun's embrace, holding him tightly, as if letting go would make him leave again.
Until the chamber of commerce steward noticed the outside situation, came out to inquire, and Qin Mengxi finally stopped crying. Ye Liuyun explained to the steward, who did not make things difficult for them, merely asking them not to stand at the entrance and attract a crowd.
Ye Liuyun immediately pulled Qin Mengxi away. "Where are we going?" Qin Mengxi still asked Ye Liuyun.
"Let's leave this place first."
Ye Liuyun said, bringing Qin Mengxi into the starry void, releasing a flying boat. After the two martial cultivators guarding Qin Mengxi also boarded the flying boat, he had them pilot it toward the direction of the Qin family.
"Are you sending me home?" Qin Mengxi, upon hearing that their course was toward the Qin family, immediately confirmed with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun also confirmed: "Yes! I have finished what I needed to do; sending you home safely, I should then depart."
Qin Mengxi's face filled with disappointment, she answered in acknowledgment and then fell silent.
Ye Liuyun also knew she might be reluctant, but he would have to leave sooner or later; it was better to take this opportunity to make Qin Mengxi completely give up hope.
After one
a while, Qin Mengxi then remembered to ask Ye Liuyun: "How did you know I've been waiting here for you?"
Ye Liuyun felt he was also about to leave, so he no longer hid anything from her, and immediately gave her a rough account of everything that had happened since he arrived here.
"... When I was posing as Tang Xiaofeng to infiltrate the Tang family, I only occasionally noticed you; otherwise I really wouldn't have known you were so bold as to come looking for me on your own..."
Only after Ye Liuyun finished speaking did Qin Mengxi learn the truth.
Ye Liuyun originally thought that after he finished speaking, Qin Mengxi would scold him, saying he had killed and done evil to seize resources. But unexpectedly, Qin Mengxi showed no reaction, merely asking where he would go next.
"I need to make a trip to the nearby Demon Race territory, then return to the Alien Battlefield to lead troops in slaughtering the Alien Tribe!" Ye Liuyun did not hide this from her.
Thus Qin Mengxi curiously asked about the Alien Tribe, and Ye Liuyun gave her a rough explanation.
"So you were defeated by the Alien Evil Artifact, and came to our star system to look for resources? After finding resources, you still have to go back to fight the Alien Tribe?" After hearing his explanation, Qin Mengxi suddenly asked Ye Liuyun.
"Yes!" Ye Liuyun also openly admitted the defeat.
"The number of high-end combat forces in our army is insufficient; we can only temporarily retreat to seek resources to strengthen ourselves, and then we will have the capital to wage war against the Alien Tribe."
"Then, to fight the Alien Tribe for all the star systems, such a great undertaking, why not simply have other star systems provide resources, instead of stealing and robbing?" Qin Mengxi again acted foolishly.
Ye Liuyun, however, laughed: "Who would believe that if said? Even if they believed, unless the Alien Tribe attacks their doorstep, no one would be willing to produce resources!"
"Your idea is too naive. From now on, just stay home honestly; the outside is not suitable for you, it's too dangerous!"
Qin Mengxi thought it over, also felt Ye Liuyun's words made some sense, but she still asked him: "Can you take me with you? I also want to contribute to the fight against the Alien Tribe. I possess Buddha Light Power, which is just right for dealing with the Alien Tribe."
Ye Liuyun immediately refused: "Your idea is good, and I understand your feelings, but I cannot bring you. Your strength is too weak, and you lack combat experience; by then you wouldn't help at all, and would instead need others to protect you."
Upon hearing that, Qin Mengxi did not immediately give up, but instead countered: "Am I the weakest among all your subordinates?"
Ye Liuyun thought about it, and she indeed was not the weakest. At least now her cultivation had reached the Sixth Layer of Sovereign, which is higher than A Xing and the others.
"That's not the case either!" Ye Liuyun also said truthfully.
Upon hearing that, Qin Mengxi immediately felt energized: "Exactly! Weak strength can be improved, combat experience can be honed—why not bring me along when you go to the Demon Race star system to see how I perform?"
Ye Liuyun certainly didn't want to bring her, so he threatened her: "Do you think the Demon Race is easy to deal with? That's not like sparring in the training arena; it's deadly! You haven't seen the cruelty and bloodshed of the battlefield! Have you ever seen Demon Race tear people apart and devour them?"
Qin Mengxi, hearing that, pouted and said: "But you promised to take me on an adventure before? You don't keep your word. Last time you just dumped me, making me suffer so much, and now you don't want to bring me. If I don't go out to gain experience, how can my strength improve, and when will I get combat experience?"
Her saying this made Ye Liuyun feel a bit embarrassed. He indeed was somewhat in the wrong; last time he had indeed deceived Qin Mengxi, causing her to suffer quite a bit.
"Or how about compensating her by taking her to the Demon Race, then using the Black Tower's teleport to send her back to the Qin Family? Anyway, my strength doesn't need to be hidden from her, and I won't see her again afterward."
Thinking this over, Ye Liuyun felt it could be tried.
Meanwhile, seeing Ye Liuyun hesitating, Qin Mengxi felt there was a chance, and immediately continued: "If you won't take me, I'll just go to the Demon Race myself. After all, I already have some experience going out; next time I go out, I'll bring enough Spirit Stones!"
Ye Liuyun hearing this really worried that she might run off to the Demon Race on her own. If she truly encountered a ferocious Demon Race, they could very well tear her apart directly.
Thus he could only agree: "Alright then, I'm convinced by you! I'll take you to the Demon Race. But afterward you must return home and not follow me anymore!"
"Really?" Qin Mengxi immediately beamed with joy, then she countered: "If my performance is good and I'm suited for combat, will you take me to fight the Alien Tribe?"
"Wait until you've had dealings with the Demon Race, then if you still have this idea we can talk again!" Ye Liuyun laughed.
