Chapter 112 Accepting a New Mission
"Ji Moyu, these are some snacks I made myself. They're very delicious. Try them and see if you like them. If you do, I'll make them for you every day."
"Need not!"
"Okay, then we won't have any snacks. This is some lemon flower tea I made. Try it; it's refreshing and thirst-quenching in the summer."
"dislike!"
"Alright! This is a newly transported Demon Spirit Fruit from the capital, you..."
"Don't eat!"
"Ji Moyu, what exactly do you dislike about me? Tell me, and I'll definitely change."
"all!"
"Ji Moyu, do you really hate me that much?"
"Yes!"
Qin Yi's sobs gradually faded into the distance, and the oppressive atmosphere seemed to dissipate with her departure. Chu Qiuchi and the others, who had been happily gossiping in a corner, excitedly came out and began to chatter without any restraint.
Chu Qiuchi sighed deeply, feigning emotion, "What a tragic and lamentable beginning to a beautiful and moving love story!"
Chu Yichen looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Chu Qiuchi gave him a disdainful look. "Tsk, you don't even understand? This is what they call 'mistreating your wife for a moment is fun, but chasing her back is like going through a funeral pyre!'"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yichen frowned and shook his head, "What nonsense! She's not Brother Yu's wife!"
Puyang Minghui cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, "Is this what it's like to like someone? It seems a little... scary!"
Nalan Xingyao said calmly, "She just happened to run into someone like Brother Yu. Not everyone is as impolite as him."
Puyang Minghui sighed, her tone tinged with emotion, "Sigh, this Qin Yi is really something! For a whole six months, she cried and ran back every day, only to come back full of confidence the next day. Our Brother Yu is truly heartless!"
Chu Qiuchi raised his hand and ruffled Puyang Minghui's fluffy head, saying in a serious tone, "Even a cute and charming goddess like me can't win over your Yu-ge, so no one else has a chance."
Chu Yichen and Puyang Minghui were speechless for a moment, and said in unison, "Huh..."
Nalan Xingyao slightly curled her lips, a deep light flashing in her eyes, and silently thought to herself, "That's not necessarily true. Perhaps you've already succeeded."
"Hey, honestly, Minghui, Xingyao, we girls shouldn't be too love-struck! As the saying goes, there are thousands of men in the world. If one doesn't work out, we can move on. Why insist on sticking with just one?"
Chu Qiuchi was speaking passionately when she felt Puyang Minghui gently tug at her sleeve. She turned her head in confusion and said, "Hmm? What's wrong, Minghui? Don't ignore me. I'm telling you the truth. If men are reliable, pigs can fly. Especially when you encounter someone like Xiaoyuer, if you don't have a strong heart, you'll probably be driven crazy."
"Really?"
A cool, clear voice slowly came from behind.
Chu Qiuchi shuddered and turned around awkwardly, only to find Ji Moyu standing behind her, calmly watching her.
She forced herself to play dumb and said, "Huh? What just happened? I don't quite remember. Little Fish, when did you get here?"
Ji Moyu said calmly, "Just when you said you'd be furious if you met someone like me."
Chu Qiuchi cursed himself inwardly, "Damn mouth, what kind of question was that!" But on the surface, he forced a bright smile and looked innocently at Ji Moyu, saying, "Huh? I don't remember saying any of that! You must have misheard! Yes, you misheard!"
Ji Moyu remained silent, simply gazing at her calmly, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion.
Chu Qiuchi felt a pang of guilt under his gaze and gave an awkward laugh. "Oh dear, Little Fish, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"
Ji Moyu's expression shifted slightly, and he slowly asked, "Where did I go wrong?"
Chu Qiuchi's eyes darted around, a sly glint in them. "My mistake was talking badly about you behind your back, and you overheard it."
"Sis, the key point is in the last sentence!" Chu Yichen teased with a smile.
Chu Qiuchi rolled her eyes at him, "You think you're so clever!"
Just as Chu Yichen was about to say something, a serious voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Six Six Great Fortune Team, Commander, assemble immediately in the camp."
Chu Yichen hurriedly shouted to the outside world, "Six Six Great Fortune Team, received!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Puyang Minghui's eyes, "Are we finally going out on a mission? We're so bored staying in the war zone every day. Before, we could occasionally spar with Nanxi and the others to pass the time, but now they don't fight with us anymore."
Chu Qiuchi smiled smugly, "Being tortured every day, no one can stand it! I've been here with General Luo for almost two months, and I can finally go out and stretch my muscles!"
Inside Ji Mosen's tent, the atmosphere was unusually oppressive. Ji Mosen sat at the head of the table, his brows furrowed, his face gloomy, and his index finger tapping the table from time to time, producing a low, rhythmic sound.
As Chu Qiuchi and his companions entered the tent, they immediately sensed an unusual sense of oppression, and their smiles vanished, replaced by serious expressions.
Ji Mosen raised his head, glanced at the group, and his expression softened slightly. Then, his gaze turned to Ji Moyu, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Reporting to the Commander! The Six-Six Great Fortune Team has assembled and is ready to give instructions!" the men said in unison.
Ji Moyu sighed, his gaze deep, and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember the time you encountered the mutated beast race when you went out to train before?"
The group nodded in agreement. Chu Qiuchi pondered for a moment before speaking, "I remember, isn't General Ji Mo investigating this matter? Have you found any leads? Or... has something happened to General Ji Mo?"
Ji Mosen frowned, his gaze heavy, and said, "Yes, something has happened to him. I just received his secret message. He was being chased by a large number of unknown people in the forest and is seriously injured and in critical condition. General Luo and General Song have already led teams deep into the inner perimeter to rescue him. You just completed your outer reconnaissance mission not long ago, so I want you to immediately go to the outer perimeter of the Aris Great Forest to search and ensure that you find General Ji Mosen."
The air suddenly fell silent, the oppressive atmosphere making everyone's breathing heavy. Chu Qiuchi was the first to react, stealing a glance at Ji Moyu, a barely perceptible worry flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and said in a low voice, "Understood, we'll set off immediately."
Ji Mosen looked at them, his eyes filled with both expectation and worry. "This mission is extremely difficult and the situation is complex. There is no room for error. You must find General Ji Mo as soon as possible and ensure his safety. There are still unknown enemies inside the forest. You must remain highly vigilant, act with extreme caution, and return safely."
The men looked extremely serious, their hearts filled with unease. They responded in unison, "Understood, Commander. We will do our utmost to complete the mission."
Ji Mosen nodded gently, "Go."
The group responded in unison, turned and quickly left the tent, preparing to depart. Ji Mosen watched them leave, his expression complex, his heart growing heavier.
