Chapter 401 The Rising Star of the Sun and Moon Military

"Boss, a flower exploded in the air!" the demon spirit exclaimed excitedly.

Two beams of light quickly reached into the demon spirit's plate while the demon spirit got up to watch the fireworks.

"Alright, just eat, stop making such a fuss!" Di Tian said with a laugh, picked up a dumpling, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and drank a pot of fruit wine.

"No wonder the strategist always likes to study food all day long. This combination of dishes does have a unique flavor, unlike rare and precious ingredients," Di Tian sighed.

The reason people consume rare and precious herbs is for the energy they contain; in reality, these herbs don't have any taste whatsoever.

In terms of taste, there is no shortage of refreshing fruits among the stars, but when it comes to rich texture and satisfying appetite, cooked food is the way to go.

Di Tian glanced at the two great soul beasts, Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang, who were taking the opportunity to steal dumplings from the demon spirit's plate, but remained silent.

When the demon finished watching the fireworks and was about to finish the dumplings on its plate, it found that the dumplings had already been eaten.

The clever little brain immediately locked onto the other major soul beasts.

"Damn it! Give me back my dumplings!" the demon roared and pounced on the Crimson King.

The Red King, who was quietly devouring his dumplings, was suddenly tackled and knocked over.

Red King:?

"Awooo! I didn't do it!" The Red King's left side of his head was being held by the demon spirit, and he could only shake his head and struggle.

Those who started all of this quietly sped up the process of eliminating dumplings.

"If only the strategist could make several meals every day!" Xiong Jun picked up a large plate and poured it into his mouth.

"Fool! If the strategist becomes a cook, can you handle the planning and strategizing?" the Demon King mocked, leisurely sipping his wine.

Although its main body is a plant, it does not prevent it from enjoying the taste.

"Who are you cursing!" Xiong Jun carefully put down the plate in his hand. He couldn't break it, or the strategist would start cursing again.

"Did I insult you? I was just telling the truth." The Demon King spoke with a sarcastic tone.

You're talking about me!

Di Tian quickly picked up his small wine jug to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the group of fools' commotion.

"If only the strategist could stay here forever!" Di Tian thought to himself.

Although Di Tian was ambitious and talented, he could only be considered a strong person with enough strength to compete for supremacy. He was not proficient in things like strategy and planning, and could only understand them.

After experiencing the benefits of Ye Nanxiao's management, Di Tian wanted to become a hands-off manager, handing over all management responsibilities to Ye Nanxiao, and becoming a powerful beast god who could intimidate the world. He could go out and deter villains when necessary, and retreat to his own little den to cultivate when not in use.

However, Di Tian knew that Ye Nanxiao stayed in the Starry Sky as a strategist because his master, Gu Yuena, had promised to help him return home.

"What a pity," Di Tian sighed again, and drank heartily while gazing at the moon.

This scene was witnessed by the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

"My lord must be worried about what to do after the strategist leaves, but if the strategist doesn't leave, I will always be stuck managing supplies in the rear!" A mysterious light flashed in the eyes of the Demon King.

Ye Nanxiao, who was still telling Gu Yuena a story, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and even in his soul form, he couldn't help but shiver.

"Why did you stop?" Gu Yuena asked, somewhat displeased.

"Well, let's continue. I don't know if it was a bit windy just now," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself, also wondering.

"Wind?" Gu Yuena felt the cool breeze, then raised her hand and created a barrier that enveloped the two of them.

"There's no wind! Go ahead and talk!" Gu Yuena said matter-of-factly.

Ye Nanxiao smiled. He felt that Gu Yuena's emotions were changing more and more, no longer as cold and ruthless as when they first met, like a revenge machine.

"Revenge machine, huh? I wonder how things are going with Ju Xiaohan. Luckily, when I went back it was only for a moment, otherwise if I had really disappeared, Ju Xiaohan would probably have gone crazy." Ye Nanxiao pressed his left hand to his chest, the feeling of his heartbeat from before still seemed to be there.

"If I tell ten stories every day, that's more than three thousand stories a year. It shouldn't be too hard to get through this hundred-plus years! Keep it up! You can do it!" Ye Nanxiao silently cheered himself up. He had already spent a year in a flurry of activity, and the remaining ninety-nine years would soon be over.

"The story!" Gu Yuena urged.

Ye Nanxiao quickly snapped out of his reverie and, despite Gu Yuena's impatient expression, resumed telling the story.

In the original time and space.

Five days have passed since Ye Nanxiao was thrown into the Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

During these five days, a major event occurred in the military of the Sun Moon Empire. The former Crown Princess, the current leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps and commander of both the Imperial Dragon and Terror Claw Soul Master Corps, passed the tests of the three commanders. After the three commanders consulted with the current Emperor Xu Tianran, Ju Zi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Guardian Hand.

This rapid promotion shocked all forces within the Sun and Moon military, except for the Guardians of the Nation, who privately sought out the commanders of the various legions of the Guardians of the Nation for inquiries.

But they all received the same response.

"We support Your Majesty's wise decision!"

The crowd, having received only an ambiguous answer, were filled with doubt, but they understood one thing: His Majesty was determined to use oranges as a dagger to pierce into the military forces.

After receiving a new set of court robes sent by Xu Tianran, Ju Zi did not show much excitement on her face.

Orange only glanced at the outfit she had once dreamed of before casually placing it in the corner of the table.

"Still no news from the Dead Lands?" Orange asked softly, toying with a silencing bead in her palm.

"No." A slender woman dressed in a black bodysuit appeared in the shadows of the room.

"The Evil Phoenix of the Holy Spirit Cult is already guarding the entrance to the Dead Zone. Our power is insufficient to obtain information unless His Majesty speaks up personally," the woman in black said.

"Okay, go and rest now." Orange's gaze remained fixed on the silent bead in her palm.

The woman in black disappeared silently into the darkness, leaving only Orange in the room.

Are you still alive?

"Will he survive?"

"You promised to help me, you can't leave me alone!"

Orange put away the silencing bead, held the necklace in front of her chest with both hands, and pressed it against her forehead.

The warm metal transmitted its heat, making Orange feel its warmth, as if the person she missed was still stroking her head.

"You damn fox, don't you love eating my purple-skinned oranges?"

"I'll treat you to a good meal when you come back, so you absolutely have to come back!"

Orange was completely unaware that her voice was slightly choked up.

Since her parents passed away, Orange has been living behind a mask. She doesn't know when it started, but the lonely little girl learned to read people's expressions, to flatter, and to force herself to change in order to meet the opinions of others.

It wasn't until Xu Tianran recognized her talent and took her under his wing that Ju Zi finally got a chance to breathe.

However, the price was extremely high, turning it into a sharp knife in Xu Tianran's hand until it broke.

Orange once believed that after fulfilling her lifelong desire for revenge, her ultimate fate as a sharp knife was to be broken.

However, Ye Nanxiao's appearance made Ju Zi rediscover the joy of living.

The boy, who always had a mischievous grin on his face and was plotting how to trick people, once told her with a smile, "An orange is an orange. You don't need to become someone else. Just be yourself."

There was no fake smile, nor any deliberate flattery; the boy's smile carried genuine feelings, and his clear eyes reflected his surprise.

For the first time, Orange felt a sense of peace of mind.

She can truly live like an ordinary young girl.

This sense of security made the orange, hiding in the darkness, exceptionally greedy.

A single, glistening tear slid down Orange's cheek.

"Master." A girl with a rabbit mask tied around her waist stood at the door, head bowed.

"Come in. How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Orange subtly wiped away the tears on her face.

The girl knelt on one knee and said with respect, "I once entered the royal library and found some clues in a file. Back then, a couple successfully left the place of death. After returning home, they left the village on the same day and traveled through many villages. Their final destination was a record from ten years ago, which showed that the couple settled in Maple Leaf City."

"Have you sent any people out yet?" Orange asked indifferently.

"Not yet. Without the master's orders, none of us will be dispatched," the girl replied.

Orange took a scroll and a talisman from her necklace, tossed them to the girl, and said, "Take this scroll. Half of you twelve will search for this person's whereabouts, and the other half will go to Maple Leaf City to find that couple!"

"If you find that couple, tell me immediately. I want to see them in person."

The girl took the amulet and the scroll; she knew who the person in the scroll was.

"Master, Shadow Rabbit feels this is not right. If all twelve of us leave, we don't trust anyone else with your safety!" Shadow Rabbit said anxiously.

Ju Zi shook her head slightly. "Now that I'm in the position of commander of the Guardian of the Nation, they don't dare to make a move against me anymore. At least for the time being, as long as His Majesty's actions haven't stopped, they don't dare to make a move."

"You twelve shadows have been with me the longest. I only feel at ease when you are the ones who are mobilized."

Shadow Rabbit paused for a moment, then tucked the amulet into a hidden pouch in her chest, bowing her head and saying, "My sisters' lives were saved by my master. For my master's sake, Shadow Rabbit will do everything in her power!"

Orange waved for Shadow Rabbit to leave, then grasped the necklace, lost in thought.

"I will take back my light with my own hands."

In the quiet room, only the soft rustling of oranges could be heard.
