Why Are You Even Wasting Your Breath on Him!

"I said, are we on the same page? Why aren't you saying anything!"

Bai Luoming followed Dan Heng Jing Yuan the Dragon Exaltation Hall, but no one spoke along the way. Everyone had their own little plans, and even Jingliu just silently followed beside him.

His words didn't elicit much of a reaction; everyone just turned to look at him without saying a word, except for Jingliu, who reached out and took his hand.

"?"

"Are they all this good at keeping a straight face? How about we talk about this operation?"

Only then did Jing Yuan seem to show some interest, slowing his pace and saying in his ear, "Since Junior Brother has this idea, why don't you tell me what questions you have about it?"

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's address to Bai Luoming, Yanqing turned to look at Jing Yuan, opened and closed her mouth twice, and finally called out to Jing Yuan.

"General..."

"Hmm? What is it, Yanqing?"

"Never mind... it's alright, General."

"?"

Jing Yuan noticed that Yanqing's mouth was opening and closing, but he couldn't say anything for a long time. He was a little puzzled, but since the child didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

He then turned to look at Bai Luoming, his expression filled with curiosity, wanting to know what question Bai Luoming wanted to ask.

Only then did he notice Bai Luoming and Jingliu's hands. His pupils contracted for a moment, but returned to normal in the next instant, pretending that he hadn't noticed anything.

Bai Luoming paused slightly before continuing:

"Well, I'm just a little curious, does 'Senior Brother' know about our enemy on this trip?" But he deliberately emphasized the word "Senior Brother".

"This one, according to General Yaoguang, should be a pawn of Destruction."

"Ah, Senior Brother, aren't you nervous now that you know? Isn't it a bit too difficult for us to face the Lord Ravager?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan looked at Bai Luoming with a hint of curiosity in his eyes and said, "Junior Brother, how did you know that our enemy is the Lord Ravager? It seems you also have some unknown sources of information."

"However, even the Lord Ravager would perish upon arriving at Luofu. To resolve this crisis, there is now more than one general on Luofu."

Bai Luoming was startled. He knew Yaoguang, but judging from Jing Yuan's tone, it seemed that it wasn't just Yaoguang and him.

He hurriedly pressed Jing Yuan for details, wanting to know the background of this so-called other general, "Judging from what you're saying, Senior Brother, is there any other support on this Xianzhou Luofu?"

"Junior brother will know. Look, we're almost there."

As expected of a general from Luofu, his skills as a riddle solver have truly improved.

Bai Luoming gritted his teeth, but didn't press the matter further. After all, the final boss was just around the corner, and he would find out eventually; it was only a matter of time.

As they spoke, the Dragon Exaltation Hall appeared before them. In the vast Ancient Sea, a square altar stood prominently, and around the altar stood several familiar figures.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming quietly let go of Jingliu's hand. After all, if it were just Yaoguang and his ilk standing on the stage, he wouldn't say anything. But there was even March 7th on the stage. If he were still holding hands with him, he would be blown up!

Jingliu sensed Bai Luoming's intention, turned to look at him, and looked somewhat puzzled.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming quietly leaned close to her ear and whispered an explanation, "We're about to go to war, it's not good to keep holding her hand."

Upon hearing this, Jingliu nodded, as if acknowledging his statement, and withdrew his probing gaze.

She turned back to the High Elder statue on the high platform, her gaze unfathomable, lost in thought.

Bai Luoming finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, if Jingliu wanted to keep holding on, he didn't have any good solutions.

But he was still very happy that Jingliu could do this.

Otherwise, after this matter is over, I might have to cosplay as Jack and face several ferocious monsters.

"Here, here."

At this moment, March 7th on the high platform seemed to have noticed them, and raised his hand and shouted loudly at them.

"Hey! Coming!"

Upon hearing March 7th's words, Bai Luoming subconsciously responded, but after responding, he turned to look at Jingliu. Seeing that she didn't react, he felt relieved and looked back at the high platform.

Dan Heng glanced at March 7th, then continued leading the way, taking everyone to the high platform, which was the so-called Dragon Exaltation Hall.

Although it's called a main hall, it's actually more of an altar and doesn't resemble a normal main hall in style.

At the edge of the altar, a large group of people stood. Among them Yaoguang Feixiao leading the Astral Express Crew, and even Fu Xuan leading the Cloud Knights to guard the area.

Upon seeing Bai Luoming and his group arrive, everyone had different expressions. Only March 7th walked up to them happily and greeted them cheerfully.

"You guys are finally here! I thought you'd been out gallivanting off somewhere again."

After saying that, she turned to look at March 7th Bai Luoming. There were many things she was curious about, such as why Dan Heng was here and who the woman next to Bai Luoming was.

But what she was most curious about was where Bai Luoming had gone last night; everything else could only be dealt with after that.

Thinking of this, March 7th no longer hesitated. He frowned and looked at Bai Luoming with a serious expression, saying, "Where did you go last night? Tell me the truth, I can't even get through to you on the terminal!"

"Forehead..."

Bai Luoming's expression hardened, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to the side. In that one glance, he seemed to have found an excuse, but before he could speak, Jingliu stepped forward and spoke.

"My disciple naturally did so last night..."

"Oh my god! Master, you can't say that!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Luoming immediately stepped forward and covered Jingliu's mouth, chuckling dryly as he said, "This is Jingliu, the Sword Champion of Luofu, and the master I told you about."

"As for last night, I practiced swordsmanship too late, so I rested at my master's place."

"?"

March 7th looked at Bai Luoming with surprise, seemingly dissatisfied with his answer. She stepped forward and stared into Bai Luoming's eyes, trying to discern any hint of a lie.

However, after looking at Bai Luoming for a long time, the girl could only see sincerity in his eyes, so she had no choice but to say, "You're not lying to us, are you? If you've done anything, just tell us boldly, we won't blame you."

Yeah, right! If he really went out fooling around, she and Evernight would definitely blow him to bits!

"Alright, alright, aren't you Dan Heng looks like now?"

Upon hearing this, March 7th seemed to realize that Dan Heng was different, and asked in surprise, "This is Dan Heng? How did you become like this?"

Xing also joined in, as if she had discovered something new, and said to Dan Heng, "Wow! Teacher Gudetama has a new form!"

Then, as if she had thought of something, she rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment before continuing, "So, in reality, only you won't have a new form in March 7th."

"What? Why didn't you mention Uncle Yang and the others?"

"Oh dear, they're the elders. I meant just the few of us."

March 7th fell silent for a moment. She did have a side that no one knew about, but she really didn't know whether Evernight was her second form, her second personality, or something else.

Seeing the atmosphere become tense again, Bai Luoming seemed to have thought of something, took out the storage device from the Herta, and said to everyone, "Let's not worry about that for now, guess what I found this time?"

"What?"

Xing was a little curious, so she stretched out her hand and placed it in front of Bai Luoming, her meaning clear: she wanted Bai Luoming to show it to her.

As soon as she reached out her hand, a cold object was placed on it. Xing looked closely and saw that it was an orange.

She asked Bai Luoming with some curiosity, "What is this? An orange? What's so special about it?"

"Hey, you can't say that. The boss said these are purely sweet oranges, not sour at all."

After saying that, Bai Luoming seemed to think that it was not good to only give out a few, so he took out a bag of oranges and gave them to everyone around him. Not only were Yao Guangjingyuan and the others who were talking nearby given one, but even the Yunqi soldiers stationed nearby were given one.

Just as he was handing out Yaoguang's hand subtly hooked into Bai Luoming's hand. Bai Luoming paused for a moment, then continued handing out oranges as if nothing had happened.

Yaoguang chuckled as he watched Bai Luoming's actions, then continued discussing with Jing Yuan how to defeat Phantylia.

She naturally recognized the orange; before her rebirth, Bai Luoming had a penchant for using strange and unusual foods to prank others.

For example, there are drinks that look normal but taste so bitter they make you question your existence; or there are candies that seem normal no matter how you look at them, but eating them will make you question your existence—and I mean genuinely question your existence. After eating the candy, you'll enter a state of emo, constantly contemplating philosophical questions.

And the orange in her hand was naturally one of them.

Yaoguang glanced at the oranges in the other people's hands, chuckled, and didn't interrupt their thoughts. After all, eating something like this before a battle could effectively relieve stress.

Soon, the oranges were distributed. Bai Luoming carefully collected the remaining oranges, even though they were given to all the Cloud Knights present, it was only a small portion of the total.

But after he had done all that, no one chose to eat the orange; instead, they all looked at Bai Luoming.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming chuckled twice and said loudly, "Eat up, everyone! What are you looking at me for? These oranges are delicious!"

Xing was somewhat skeptical. She moved closer to Bai Luoming, turned to look at him, and questioned, "Are these oranges really edible? I don't believe you could be so kind."

"If it's edible, would I lie to you?"

Bai Luoming thought to himself: I can eat it, but I don't know if I can actually swallow it.

"Then you go first..."

Before Xing could finish speaking, Jingliu picked up an orange, slowly peeled it to reveal the orange-yellow flesh inside, and ate it without much hesitation.

Seeing this, she looked at it carefully again, and only after confirming that Jingliu did not react much did she peel the orange and eat it with some doubt.

However, the moment the fruit entered her mouth, her eyes widened in disbelief. Xing glanced at Bai Luoming incredulously, forcibly suppressing the sourness in her mouth, and raised her hand to call out to everyone, "Everyone, try it! This guy was right, it really is delicious!"

After saying that, she tightly closed her mouth, afraid that if she said another word, her saliva would flow out uncontrollably.

At this point, Bai Luoming continued, "See, I already said it's delicious, why don't you try it?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Jing Yuan and said, "Senior brother, you are a general of Luofu. How can you eat if you don't eat? Why don't you set an example first?"

Jing Yuan looked at the orange in his hand. He didn't recognize it, but based on Bai Luoming's behavior, he had doubts about it.

However, since Jingliu ate it all, it must have tasted pretty good.

Thinking of this, Jing Yuan also peeled an orange, took out a segment, and put it in his mouth...

At the same time, after a slight hesitation, March 7th also ate the orange in his mouth.

The moment it entered her mouth, an overwhelming sourness surged through her, and she felt her mouth constantly secreting saliva.

Upon seeing this, she spat out the orange in one gulp, and the sounds of the surrounding Cloud Knights being disgusted by the sourness of the orange echoed around her.

March 7th stepped forward and grabbed Bai Luoming by the collar, gritting his teeth as he said, "You bastard..."

Bai Luoming looked at March 7th with an innocent expression, tilted his head and stuck out his tongue.

"Hehe."

"You! Never mind..."

Looking at March 7th Bai Luoming's face, San Yueqi really couldn't bring himself to do it. Bai Luoming was pretending to be like this, betting that March 7th wouldn't be able to do it.

Sure enough, on March 7th, he released his grip on his collar, but before he could even catch his breath, another hand grabbed his collar again.

Xing had already spat out the orange completely, his face contorted as he glared at Bai Luoming, pointing at him with his other finger and saying to March 7th:

"March 7th, why are you wasting your breath talking to him! He's just taking advantage of your soft heart!"

After saying that, Xing was about to deliver a heavy punch to Bai Luoming, but before her hand could touch Bai Luoming's face, Welt stopped her.

"Alright, Xing, we'll settle the score later. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the Ambrosial Arbor."

Welt, holding an orange in one hand, exchanged a glance with Dan Heng, feeling somewhat relieved. Luckily, he had drunk too much Himeko coffee and was cautious enough not to eat the orange.

Meanwhile, Feixiao had already started eating oranges out of curiosity. She only frowned slightly before continuing to eat.

Seeing this, Yaoguang became curious and leaned closer to Feixiao, whispering, "Is it delicious? Doesn't it taste sour?"

"It's alright. Sour things are bound to be high in vitamins. We can't waste good things."

"... You've really mastered the technique; you can actually eat this."

In the end, it was Jing Yuan who stepped in to stop the crisis caused by the sour oranges. He glanced at Yaoguang and the others who hadn't eaten any oranges, then at the Astral Express Crew, before finally looking at the Cloud Knights were getting a little agitated after eating the oranges. Suppressing the sourness in his mouth, he said:

"Alright, everyone, I suppose Mr. Bai only resorted to this tactic to lighten the mood."

"Our most urgent task now is to address the impact of Ambrosial Arbor Susheng and to eliminate the mastermind behind this threat to Luofu's security."

Having said that, he turned to Fu Xuan, who was holding an orange in his hand, and said, "I wonder if Minister Fu has any thoughts about temporarily taking over the position of general?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan turned to look at Jing Yuan, his expression somewhat complicated. After a long while, he finally spoke, "The position of general is indeed what I desire, but with Luofu facing imminent crisis, I am not one to cling to life and fear death!"
