Let's Go on a Trip Together / What a Stingy Master

"How did you know?" Nigolan looked at Yuxian in surprise. She had not told anyone about this and did not know where Yuxian got the information.

Yuxian smiled and said, "You can probably guess what could have made you so upset."

Nigolan sighed, unsure how to put it; she simply couldn't accept sending these children to their deaths.

However, as the manager of the Fairy Warehouse dispatched by the Orlando Trade Association, she could not disobey the orders from above.

"Island 15 has been attacked by the Sixth Beast, and the military has requested that adult fairy soldiers be sent to fight," Nigolan slowly recounted the events, her voice low and somber. "And it's very likely that one of them will be needed to open the 'Fairy Village Gate'..."

"'Fairy Village Gate'..." Yuxian sighed. This deceptive term really left him with no goodwill whatsoever.

In Yuxian's mind, it would be great if Keter and the others could really go to the Avalon, which is actually a nice place.

But that was obviously impossible. The so-called "Fairy Village Gate" was just a nice excuse to let these children die peacefully, a deceptive statement.

Nigolan continued, "Another task is to escort the surface salvage team to the surface. This task is not too dangerous, but it takes a long time."

Yuxian was taken aback, thinking to himself: This mission is the most dangerous one, isn't it? This time, the salvage team is going to the city where the First Beast is located, the hometown of William Kmesh!

He pondered for a moment, then looked up at Nigolan and said, "You should decline this mission. You should have the authority to do so. Just make up any excuse, like saying that the most important thing right now is to deal with the Sixth Beast on Island 15, and we don't have any extra manpower."

"This..." Nigolan hesitated, not understanding Yuxian's meaning, but she still nodded in agreement with Yuxian's statement. The more people who could go to the operation on Island 15, the more strength they would have.

Yuxian continued, "I will go with Keter and the others to deal with the matter on Island 15. Trust me, they will be fine. They don't need to risk their lives."

"You?" Nigolan looked at Yuxian with surprise. This human was the second one she had ever seen. As a cannibal, she really wanted to taste Yuxian.

"Don't look at me like that, it scares me a little..." Yuxian said with a smile.

He knew Nigolan's identity, but he also knew Nigolan's character; such a remark was just a joke.

Besides, there are plenty of people who want to take advantage of Yuxian, and he's still doing just fine, so he's not worried about it at all.

He was absolutely amazing; in every sense of the word, he was simply incredible!

"That's decided then. Don't tell Keter and the others too much. Just say it's a normal mission."

Yuxian stood up, said goodbye, and left Nigolan's room.

Nigolan sat there blankly watching Yuxian leave, still thinking about what Yuxian had just said.

A thought popped into my head: Maybe I could try to trust him...

Section 152, Chapter 7: Let's Go on a Trip Together

Before dinner, Yuxian personally went over to supervise the little ones as they released the giant bear back into the forest.

Watching the giant bear run away without looking back, all the children, including Fou, showed reluctance in their eyes. They had had a lot of fun playing with the giant bear all afternoon.

Gretel's eyes darted around, and some wicked thoughts began to form in her mind; she had always been full of mischievous ideas.

Yuxian didn't even need to look at her; he gave her a heads-up beforehand. "Don't even think about going to catch it again tomorrow."

Gretel Yao retorted, "That's not what I thought at all, Master! Don't wrong an innocent person!"

Yuxian shook his head speechlessly, thinking: I wasn't sure until you said it, but now that you've opened your mouth, your thoughts are completely exposed.

At dinner, Yuxian told everyone about their plans to go to Island 15.

"It's very dangerous..." Keter said weakly, her kind heart not wanting to see others in danger.

Yuxian smiled kindly at her, and was about to explain when the children spoke up first.

They shouted, "Let's all go together! Master promised to take us out for fun!"

The "everyone" they were referring to included everyone in the Fairy Warehouse, which was no small matter.

Yuxian wanted to refuse, but seeing the children's expectant looks, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

He was the kind of person who found it hard to refuse children's expectations, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Yuxian said to Nigolan apologetically, "I might have to trouble you this time. I can't take care of so many children."

"Is this really a good idea?" Nigolan objected, not thinking it was a good decision.

Yuxian said, "There shouldn't be any major safety issues. We can just let Heracles stay with the children."

"Good..."

Heracles nodded; he wouldn't refuse the decision. He had been with the children all this time and was quite familiar with them.

That's how it was settled.

Except for Nigolan, who was somewhat worried, everyone else was very optimistic.

Keter and the others thought it was just a normal mission, so they didn't pay much attention to the fact that everyone was going together, treating it as a way for the children to relax.

There are still several days before the official departure. Island 15 is quite a distance from Island 68, and we need to wait for the Winged Guard's airships to pick us up.

The very next day, a new guest arrived at the Fairy Warehouse.

Calling him a guest is a bit inappropriate; he was the newly appointed military administrator, William Kemesh.

William was unaware of the situation at the Fairy Warehouse. When he arrived, Nigolan received him; they were old acquaintances.

After Nigolan's explanation, William finally understood the situation.

Yuxian was also curious about William, the hero from five hundred years ago, and wanted to see what kind of person he was.

William will be the center of everything in this world; everything will revolve around him.

After getting to know him, Yuxian was surprised to find that William was a very easy person to get along with and was quite gentle. No wonder the children here accepted him so quickly.

Yuxian's next plan might cause him some harm, and he could only silently apologize in his heart.

The First Beast of Sighing Moon was William's daughter Elmelia Tiffner, a fact that cannot be ignored.

In addition, William has many connections with his former companions Swann and Lilia, his master Mars, the Star God Elco, and others.

"I never expected to meet other humans besides myself," William said to Yuxian with a smile.

Yuxian said noncommittally, "In essence, you and I are not the same kind of human beings. My existence is probably similar to your master Mars, and can be regarded as Star God from another world."

"Mars? Star God?" William looked confused. He knew very little about these things.

Yuxian nodded calmly and said, "Mars's identity is much more special than you imagine, and the Star God is also very different from what you imagine."

"There are many things you will gradually learn in the future, and no matter how much I tell you, you may not believe me."

"Right now, all I want to do is resolve these children's issues, and we are on the same page about that."

William pondered for a long time before looking up and asking, "Is there really a solution?"

"Of course!" Yuxian answered without hesitation.

He already had a detailed plan for this matter, and Yuxian this period of leisure, he seemed very relaxed, as if he had nothing to do as usual.

In fact, he had been pondering in his mind how to best resolve the issue of the Golden Fairies.

Yuxian believed that technical issues would not be a problem. No matter how powerful Shi Wang was, could he compare to the Lord of the Magical Realm?

The most difficult thing is often the human heart. How to help these children who have been rejected, discriminated against, and used as weapons to integrate normally into this society is the most difficult part.

This is not something that can be resolved in a short time; we can only wait until we meet with a few key figures and then slowly figure it out.

William's arrival is beneficial to the children of the Fairy Warehouse, as it allows them to have more contact with people from the outside world, which will be more conducive to their growth.

However, Gretel disliked him very much.

Yuxian didn't know why, but Tong Gretel just had a strange aversion to William, and there was nothing Yuxian could do about it. It was probably what they called incompatibility.

A few days later, the airship that came to pick up Keter and her party arrived at Island 68, led by Grayrock Skin.

Grayrock Skin, the lizard-headed officer, was a decent person. Although he was reluctant to mobilize the entire Fairy Warehouse, after some negotiation, he eventually agreed to let everyone board the ship.

They only made a few requests, and in order to set off smoothly, Yuxian and his party naturally agreed to them all. As for whether they would abide by them, that was another matter.

Yuxian found it hard to accept the way Grayrock Skin spoke; he always used difficult and complicated words, which seemed a bit childish, even though he was already in his eighties.

The children were very excited about the trip, running around on the airship. Fortunately, William and Nigolan kept them in check, so there was no need to worry too much about anything going wrong.

Once the airship took off, they pressed their faces against the windows, looking out repeatedly and exclaiming in amazement.

This is probably where children's joy lies.

Led by the children, everyone on the airship became cheerful, and the joyful atmosphere dispelled the gloom of going to the battlefield.

The five combatants, including Keter, no longer felt suppressed; this change was Yuxian hadn't anticipated.

In this atmosphere reminiscent of a tourist trip, the airship finally arrived at Island 15.

Chapter 8, Section 153: What a stingy Master!

Island 15 has been largely occupied by the spores of the Sixth Beast, and the affected area continues to expand.

The evacuation of people from the island is not yet complete, and the scene remains chaotic.

The army was engaged in a battle with the Sixth **, but with little success. Without the addition of the fairy soldiers, it was only a matter of time before the entire island fell.

After the airship carrying Yuxian and his group arrived, military personnel quickly came to make contact. They hoped that the fairy soldiers would join the battle as soon as possible, end the battle quickly, and minimize casualties.

It's normal for them to have such thoughts, but Yuxian was very unhappy when he heard it.

His face was devoid of any smile, as serious as a block of ice that had stood for millennia, an unyielding coldness.

When people get used to others making sacrifices, when they take such sacrifices for granted, it's a problem.

The world would then become beyond redemption.

After speaking with the officer who came to make contact, Grayrock Skin turned around and saw Yuxian's expression.

He patted Yuxian on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't blame them. They've been fighting on the front lines all along. I know it's unfair to those young girls, sigh..."

Yuxian glanced at Grayrock Skin. He knew exactly what the lizard-headed officer was saying, but he still couldn't suppress his anger.

"When you treat them as weapons, who has ever considered their feelings?"

Everyone has their own troubles, Yuxian hates this kind of excuse that uses one's own difficulties as a reason.

Just because you are facing danger and death, does that give you the right to demand that others face the same thing?

This statement itself is selfish; it reflects the selfishness inherent in human nature.

Yuxian had no interest in arguing with Grayrock Skin right now and didn't want to discuss such profound philosophical questions with him.

He turned and went back into the cabin to find Ishtar.

Yuxian asked, "Can you make a move?"

Ishtar looked at Yuxian with a calm expression and said, "Master insists, I'm not unwilling to take action, but..."

"I don't need you anymore!" Yuxian turned and left before Ishtar could finish speaking; he had no mood for idle chatter with Ishtar right now.

Yuxian is in a bad mood right now. Ishtar is used to being aloof and can't change that habit.

At other times, Yuxian would definitely chat and laugh with her, discuss terms, and play tricks on her, which would be quite enjoyable.

Now, Yuxian doesn't want to say another word. Whatever, even without Butcher Zhang, can't we still eat pigs with hair on?

When Ishtar saw Yuxian leave so decisively, she was completely stunned and couldn't react for a moment.

She wanted to chase after him and explain, but in the end she didn't move.

Ishtar muttered, "What a stingy Master. It's not like they don't want to help you. Would it kill them to say a few more words?"

She hadn't expected Yuxian to leave so decisively; she thought it would be like usual.

She could tell that Yuxian was in a bad mood, but given her personality, it was absolutely impossible for her to take the initiative to admit her mistakes at this moment.

Ishtar could only sulk alone, unsure whether she was angry at Yuxian or at herself.

Meanwhile, after leaving Ishtar, Yuxian went straight to Heracles' room.

After hearing Yuxian's request, Heracles stood up and walked out without saying a word. He was not one to be coy, and besides, he always had a desire to fight.
