Chapter 405: Please Conduct Yourself with Propriety (6/10, Autumn Subscription)

Self-blame? Doesn't exist, okay?

No matter how enormous the responsibility, Fang Yue could ignore it.

The three big shots deliberated for quite a while, finalized the rough team arrangement plan, and only then ended the meeting.

Stepping out the door, Fang Yue immediately saw Jing Yan guarding at the entrance.

"Ye Ge!"

Jing Yan grinned broadly at Fang Yue.

He had made plenty of money and traffic relying on Fang Yue — this was his bread and butter, not to mention their private relationship.

So seeing that Fang Yue was fine, Jing Yan was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Come with us." Fang Yue gave a slight nod, letting Jing Yan follow behind him.

Gu Yue Cun had always had a relatively small number of players.

Now it had been pierced straight through by the Wu Yu tribe, nearly wiped out.

Under these circumstances, being able to keep a few players he knew, Fang Yue felt his luck stat had completely exploded.

Moreover, unlike Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu had been cultivated by Fang Yue to the point where her attributes were almost at ordinary Captain-level strength.

But Jing Yan was truly a blank slate — he survived purely through luck and various hiding methods.

So it seemed even more precious and rare, after all the chance of surviving was even slimmer, wasn't it?

Therefore, seeing Jing Yan still alive, still able to stand and greet him, Fang Yue was actually quite happy.

The three quickly left, leaving only the legless Lord Han behind in the room.

Lord Han needed to wait for Feng Yue and the others to finish the final wrap-up work at Gu Yue Cun, then bring his head along and depart for Qingsi County.

As for how long this process would take, that was hard to say.

This made Lord Han a bit sullen, because looking at the empty room, and Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu spacing out beside him, he always felt… ever since he couldn't move freely, it seemed like Fang Yue and Lin Ling's attitude toward him had become a bit like how one treats a pet??

An illusion, definitely an illusion.

Lord Han quickly smoothed out the slight sullenness in his heart and calmed down — this bit of emotional regulation was absolutely effortless for him.

And about half an hour later, his dedicated 'carrier' suddenly woke up.

"Ah ya! Where's Ye Ge? Where's my big Ye Ge? Heavens ahhh! Someone come, Ye Ge was stolen, Ye Ge was stolen!!!"

The moment the 'carrier' returned to the game, she started making noise, making Lord Han sigh inwardly once again.

How had he chosen such a 'carrier' as his support staff?

Wouldn't swapping for a more reliable person be better?

But now that the personnel were all confirmed, switching people would be a bit ungracious.

Especially since Lord Han had previously made Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu his 'carrier' entirely because of her close relationship with Fang Yue.

The bitter fruit one plants oneself, one must eat with tears in one's eyes.

Watching Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu prepare to run outside to call people, Lord Han hurriedly said: "Wu Wu, don't go out!"

"Wh-why! Ye Ge is gone, Ye Ge disappeared! He was stolen! Today's thieves are too scary — they steal hearts, steal money, and now they steal people too! Absolutely terrifying!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu suddenly seemed to think of something, trembling all over, his face turning pale.

"Wai-wait! I'm this cute, surely I haven't already been targeted by that people-stealing thief too? Don't steal me, I'm not good-looking!!"

Lord Han's face, rarely, darkened, and he said sullenly: "Wu Wu, you really misunderstood. Xiao Ye woke up on his own, and only then did he leave."

Huh?!

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was instantly stunned.

"Ye Ge woke up?? Th-then, is he okay?"

"He's fine. You carry me, we'll go out together to find them."

Having stayed in the room the whole time, Lord Han was actually a bit bored and wanted to go out for some fresh air… no wait, why does this feel more and more like a pet's behavioral pattern??

He shook his head slightly, shaking off this strange thought, and looked at Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

Sure enough, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was a relatively simple person — she immediately believed Lord Han's words, then obediently held Lord Han's head and walked outside.

But before she could take two steps, she suddenly tripped on the door threshold, took a flat-ground fall, face-first into the floor, and Lord Han consequently rolled twice expressionlessly on the ground, covered in grit and dust.

"Ah! Pain pain pain pain… ya, Lord Han, are you okay?"

Clutching her nose and rubbing it, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu hurriedly went over to pick Lord Han back up.

"I'm fine, let's keep going."

"Mm mm!"

"……There's still steps ahead, watch where you're going."

"I am watching. This time I'll only look at the ground, I definitely won't fall!"

……

While Fang Yue was asleep, the other people of Gu Yue Cun had actually already gathered most of the remaining resources of Gu Yue Cun.

The only problem was, without horses, to pull the horse cart, they could only rely on manpower.

And if they didn't use this kind of vehicle, so many supplies wouldn't be convenient to carry.

"Take turns pulling the horse cart."

This isn't the real world, physical fitness is only so much.

This is a game world — as long as one has practiced martial arts, physical fitness won't be simple; a few people grouped together pulling a horse cart is no big deal.

Bury some corpses underground, erect simple tombstones.

Then scavenge the last supplies and load them onto the human-powered horse cart.

Fang Yue and Lin Ling, bringing the human-powered horse cart forward, conducted the final assembly.

Fang Yue looked at what had once been such a large Gu Yue Cun, now reduced to so few survivors after the Wu Yu tribe's attack, and his heart was filled with a thousand emotions.

Gazing at this village that had become ruins — and at the same time, the very village he had first entered upon starting the game — Fang Yue slowly clenched his fist.

"Wu Yu tribe, this grudge — we will definitely settle it again!"

Fang Yue had no intention of letting the Wu Yu tribe off so easily. Ma Ling'er was only the Wu Yu tribe's Sixth Princess, and Chen Lao was only an Elder of the Wu Yu tribe.

The Wu Yu tribe had wiped out his entire village, so he would wipe out the entire Wu Yu tribe!

A tooth for a tooth, repaid a hundredfold!

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, clutching Lord Han's head and covered in dust and grime, appeared within his line of sight.

"Wu Wu? You're online."

"Ye Ge! Ye Ge!! That's great, that's great, you're really alright!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, still holding Lord Han's head, slammed into Fang Yue's chest, then with snot and tears streaming, wiped every bit of snot and tears onto Fang Yue's clothes.

Fang Yue: …

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, please conduct yourself with dignity!

Fang Yue's face darkened, and he gently pushed her away.

But the woman showed not the slightest self-awareness, wearing an expression of stunned hurt.

"Y-Ye Ge, such a thrilling post-disaster hug, and you actually rejected it!"

"Post-disaster my foot — you were clearly wiping snot all over my clothes!"

"Is that the point?!"

"Then don't you think it's disgusting?"

"Disgusting! That's exactly why I wiped it on your clothes."
