Chapter 122 Negotiation

  "What's going on now!?" Yang Yu Xi was very depressed, why did he keep running into things that were beyond his comprehension today?

  The three people, Zhou Yu Xiao and others, who were hiding in the dark, were also slightly surprised. After a moment, Mu Chen's fingertips lightly plucked, and the invisible barrier that enveloped the three people and three beasts outside dissipated.

  "Who?!"

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ's eyes narrowed as she half-knelt, her hand swiping out in a palm strike towards the hiding place of Zhōu Yǔ Xiāo and the others. She had felt something off earlier, so she hadn't relaxed her guard, and at the moment when Mù Chén Yīn lifted the barrier, she sensed the presence of the three people.

  "Boom"

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ's move was as ruthless as her person, the entire forest exploded with a loud noise, and a smoky smell wafted out.

  Yang Yu Xi raised an eyebrow, thinking: Indeed very violent...

  Then Yang Yu Xi saw someone's shadow flash by, and he carefully looked back.

  "Huh?" When Yang Yu Xi saw Mu Chen Yin and Zhou Yu Xiao, her expression was clearly taken aback, her somewhat dazed eyes staring at Zhou Yu Xiao.

  Zhou Yu's slender figure stood upright, her delicate features and raven-black eyes gazing at Yang Yu Xi.

  Yang Yu Xi's facial expression became richer and more varied, Zhou Yu Xiao could see the light in Yang Yu Xi's eyes becoming brighter.

  Does he remember I came?

  Zhou Yu Xiao suddenly felt a bit nervous, her eyelids slightly and imperceptibly lowered, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

  Yang Yu Xi's expression became more and more obvious, then he opened his mouth.

  Zhou Yu's head hung even lower, his fists clenched tighter, doing his best to keep his body calm.

  Yang Yu Xi's index finger suddenly pointed this way, then he burst into a loud scolding: "Damn it, I've finally found you, you water thief, this time you won't be able to run away again!"

  Zhou Yu Xiao suddenly petrified, and then felt a stone in her heart falling into the deep abyss, falling and falling, but couldn't land.

  Then she heard Dong Er beside her retorting: "Who stole your water?! You ran too slowly and blamed me!?"

  "You! Don't you dare run, stand still!!" Yang Yu Xi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists until they crackled with rage, and stormed towards Dong Er.

  "Uh..." Dong Er's face changed, he hadn't forgotten the battle just now. As soon as he thought of Yang Yu Xi's strength, he immediately turned pale, his face deathly white, but he didn't retreat, gritting his teeth and standing in place, trembling slightly.

  At this time, Huo Qiema slowly stood up and quietly watched the development of the situation. She was secretly observing Yang Yu Xi's every move.

  Zhou Yuxiao's face was complex, and from the brief quarrel between the two, she had already understood that the poor devil whose water was stolen by Donger must be Yang Yuxi.

  Mudusthen stood quietly by, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

  Zhou Yuxiao saw Yang Yuxi approaching step by step, Donger trembling slightly at her feet, she gathered her disordered emotions and stretched out her hand to shield Donger behind her.

  "Slap"

  Yang Yu Xi's footsteps came to a halt, he looked up at Zhou Yu Xiao with some confusion.

  Zhou Yu Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed, considering whether or not to speak up.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, miss, this is between me and him, don't interfere, or you might get hurt..."

  Zhou Yuxiao's head drooped down, her long eyelashes fell, and the sunlight cast a shadow on her face.

  "Miss...", he called her "miss", and he actually didn't recognize her.

  It's strange, I actually feel heartache.

  Yang Yu Xi didn't know these, he turned his head to Dong Er who was hiding behind Zhou Yu Xiao with only one head exposed and said: "Hey, are you a man? A man hiding behind a girl will be looked down upon! If you're a man then stand up!!"

  Dong Er bit his lip, the expression in his eyes changing from initial fear to unyielding determination. After his parents passed away, he took care of many things at home. His grandfather was old, and he had long considered himself the man of the house, a true man!

  He can't bear others saying he's not a real man!

  Yes, a man should not let a girl protect him.

  Dong Er clenched his fists tightly, although his legs were still trembling slightly, but he gritted his teeth and walked out from behind Zhou Yu Xiao's back with a horizontal heart, closed his eyes, and shouted at Yang Yu Xi with all his might: "You come on!"

  "Whoosh!"

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ's eyes condensed because Yáng Yǔ Xī had already disappeared on the spot, extremely fast, she almost didn't catch up.

  Only Mu Chenyin's expression remained calm and unruffled.

  Zhou Yu's heart was filled with vigilance, and he suddenly lifted his head, but it was already too late. Yang Yuxi was standing in front of Dong Er, looking down at him from a superior position, his aura as vast as the sea.

  A handsome profile is right before her eyes, yet she can't recognize herself. Zhou Yuxiao was speechless.

  Dong Er's body involuntarily retreated backward, his face filled with terror, as Yang Yu Xi's overwhelming pressure left him completely powerless to resist.

  Yang Yu Xi raised his hand, his face cold and stern.

  Dong Er clenched his teeth tightly, stubbornly propping himself up and refusing to fall down. Sweat appeared on his healthy body, gathering into small streams that flowed down.

  Zhou Yuxiao saw that things were going badly and steeled herself to take action.

  "Slap"

  But Yang Yu Xi's speed was apparently faster than Zhou Yu Xiao had imagined, and a light "pa" sounded like a thunderclap in Zhou Yu Xiao's mind, stunning her.

  Zhou Yu Xiao raised her head and saw the boy's smile dazzling in the sunlight.

  Yang Yu Xi's hand gently patted on Dong Er's bald head, and in Dong Er's dull eyes, Yang Yu Xi smiled and said: "This is more like it, boys should be brave, hiding behind girls isn't good."

  Then he turned his head and smiled lightly at Zhou Yuexiao, his bright face full of warmth and a hint of slyness: "You said so, Yuexiao?"

  ……………………………

  Inside the oasis, Hu Qi Ma's residence.

  In a room, Hu Qi Ma and Yang Yu Xi sat opposite each other, with a delicate oil lamp burning brightly on the wooden table between them.

  Yang Yu Xi listened quietly as Huo Qi Ma explained everything, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "What's wrong, don't you understand?" Huo Qiema stared at Yang Yu Xi and said.

  Yang Yu Xi lightly shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't understand, but I'm curious why you guys don't repair the 'Indestructible Body' yourselves?"

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ glanced at Yáng Yǔ Xī and said, "If we could repair it ourselves, do you think we would still need to come find you?" Her tone was cold and detached, with a hint of arrogance.

  Yang Yu Xi was no longer the silly and naive girl she used to be. She could naturally hear the arrogance in Huo Qi Ma's tone, and her eyebrows furrowed immediately.

  "Why should I help you?" But he still patiently asked another question.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ's eyes narrowed, and through the light of the oil lamp, she looked at Yáng Yǔ Xī. His appearance had to be said to be very handsome, although he was not old but seemed very mature, and the silly and awkward appearance in front of Zhōu Yǔ Xiāo and others could not be found at all now.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ suddenly felt that this young man was not as simple as he seemed.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ's face fell and her usual mischievous appearance was nowhere to be seen: "Helping us is also helping yourself."

  "I won't help you, I can help myself." Yang Yu Xi's tone was flat, her elbow propped on the table, her fingers interlocked and pressed against her forehead, her eyes staring at the dim yellow light reflected from the oil lamp on the table.

  "You! Don't be so ungrateful!" Huo Qiema's fiery temper finally got the better of her, and she slammed her hand on the table, leaning forward with a fierce gaze at Yang Yu Xi, her backside curvaceous lines fully exposed.

  Yang Yu Xi was completely unmoved, and her tone didn't change at all: "Don't be angry for no reason. To you guys, I'm the only one, so have a better attitude."

  Hu Qi Ma did not answer immediately, but squinted her eyes to size up Yang Yu Xi, who looked at the desktop and didn't lift his head to respond to her meaning.

  After a while, Huo Qiema sat back in his chair. What Yang Yu Xi said was right, for the Ba Zu, Yang Yu Xi was the only hope.

  "So what do you want?" Huo Qiema was very decisive, handing over the initiative to you, and you would be willing to help, right?

  Yang Yu Xi nodded slightly and then raised her head, her cold eyes staring at Huo Qi Ma's eyes: "I have conditions."

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ felt relieved in her heart, as long as the conditions were opened, it meant that there was still hope for a deal, and now the Bá Zú was poor and had nothing to lose, so she wasn't afraid of opening conditions.

  "What conditions do you want."

  Yang Yu Xi fell silent, earlier he had blurted out that he wanted to make conditions, but in fact he hadn't thought of what conditions to make, he just didn't like Huo Qi Ma's attitude of clearly needing him yet still putting on airs.

  Suddenly, he thought of the banner of righteousness and the evil spirits he said would reappear in the world.

  If the Ba Zu were as powerful as Huo Qi Hua said, then helping them would be equivalent to adding a bit of strength.

  Against evil powers, every bit of strength is not to be underestimated.

  Then, Yang Yu Xi raised his head, his cold and stern gaze fixed on Huo Qi Ma's dark face that was gleaming with a faint light, speaking word by word: "After the revival of the Ba tribe, I must be revered."

  Then he raised a finger, and under Firenze's shocked gaze, continued: "One hundred years."

  "You!"

  Huǒ Qímǎ sprang up, the wooden chair behind her suddenly shattered into powder. Huǒ Qímǎ's face seemed to be burning, she thought Yang Yùxī wouldn't be able to come up with any conditions, but didn't expect Yang Yùxī's gaze to be far more profound than she had imagined.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ's eyes were burning with fire, although the Bá tribe had declined, but after all, it was a giant in the past, and some pride still existed in its bones. In the historical records of the Bá tribe, there has never been a record of surrender!

  "Think again!"

  Dense flames slowly unfolded around Huo Qi Ma.

  "Are you sure?" Yang Yu Xi lightly stood up and left her seat, her eyes fixed on Huo Qi Ma, not a hint of panic.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ clenched her fists, gritted her teeth: "My Ba tribe has been passed down to this day, and we have never bowed our heads to anyone! The Ba tribe would rather perish than surrender to someone like you!"

  "What kind of person am I?" Yang Yu Xi raised an eyebrow and turned to leave, "Then so be it, let's perish."

  Yang Yu Xi's tone was very light, just like a white cloud floating over in the sky.

  But when this white cloud floated over Huo Qiema's head, it immediately turned into a dark cloud, and thunder rumbled loudly.

  "Perish."

  Yang Yu Xi's faint three words made Hu Qi Ma's entire body turn ice-cold.

  What if it really becomes extinct?

  Hu Qi's whole body trembled with fear, she didn't dare imagine it.

  "A real man can bend and stretch, but the overlord is so rigid, I'm very disappointed." Yang Yu Xi's last voice floated over, then he opened the door and disappeared outside.

  "Boom"

  Hu Qiema fell to the ground, dazed and stunned.
