Hearing this, Mu Hanxing was startled. She said gently, "Can you tell me more about it? The clan leader is very worried about you."

Fang He simply opened up and said, "When I was still young... I had just learned how to fly, and because I was playful, I flew from Jianmu to the human world, and happened to arrive at Xu State... At that time, I didn't have enough spiritual power to fly back to Jianmu, so I fell from the sky. Later, I was picked up by someone here and taken good care of. I still remember... It was a girl who built a tree house for me... She brought me food every day, and because of her, I was reborn, found my spiritual power, and successfully returned to Jianmu."

Mu Hanxing understood, so that was the case... Xu Guoren saved his life, no wonder he had stayed here, obsessed with it and refused to wake up.

"If that girl hadn't saved me, I might have died because of my young age and couldn't stand any wind and rain. But later, when the girl saw that I had grown up and recovered, she never came to the tree house to see me again..." Fang He said, with loneliness in his eyes, "Since then, I have never seen her again, but since she is a citizen of Xu, I can do my best to seek a safe life for the people of Xu as a reward."

“…”Mu Hanxing felt emotional.

“But I also promised the clan leader that I would not expose the identity of the Phoenix clan to the outside world. Although there are kind-hearted people in the human world, there are also greedy people. The clan leader said that in order to prevent us from being coerced by greedy people to hand over the secrets of going to the Heavenly Palace or some technique of immortality, the people in the clan will only suffer endless troubles.” Fang He sighed.

"So that's how it is... I'm sorry, I was reckless just now." Mu Hanxing apologized to him, "I was too anxious, ah..."

When she saw him just now, she just wanted him to wake up quickly. She was inconsiderate.

Forget it. His obsession is too deep. If he doesn’t complete his mission and repay his gratitude successfully, he may not wake up. It is better to accompany him to fulfill his wish in his dream first.

"It's okay, as long as you don't reveal my identity. In Xu State, I'm just an ordinary carpenter. I have neither magic nor divine power. You must remember this and don't say it out loud." Fang He cared about this matter very much.

Mu Hanxing promised solemnly: "Don't worry, I know the pros and cons, and I will never tell anyone about your identity."

"That's good, that's good." Fang He felt relieved.

It seems that if someone like the King of Xu who wants to ascend to heaven knew that Fang He was a fairy bird living in the sky...it would be harmful to him. Although this is a dream, she still has to protect Fang He's safety.

"Well, how about this, since I am the messenger sent by the clan leader, I have the mission to protect your safety. I will be your guard for the time being, how about that?" Mu Hanxing suggested.

Fang He was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "This... I'm so embarrassed. I'm just a carpenter and I don't need any guards..."

"That's not necessarily true. If those giant leeches come again, how will you protect yourself? Nothing can happen to you before you repay your gratitude." She smiled brightly.

"Okay." Fang He nodded. "Then I'll trouble you, young lady... By the way... Why haven't I seen you in Jianmu before? Who are you?"

Mu Hanxing: “…”

He still felt that this girl... didn't look like a bird at all.

She was stunned by the question, and then she made up a story: "I am the new foreign aid envoy to Jianmu, specially sent by the clan leader. You don't have to worry, just call me Ah Xing."

Fang He looked quite gentle and easy to get along with. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, Ah Xing, thank you for your help."

"No trouble, no trouble!"

Great, I’ve found Fang He and gained his trust. The next step is to wake him up at the right time.

"Axing, the giant leeches have destroyed many ships near the city. I am now working hard to make new drawings, trying to make Xu State's ships indestructible. Can you help me?" Fang He asked her.

"Okay." She agreed readily on the surface, but wailed in her heart.

I didn’t expect that in my dream I would have to be a miserable worker.

After helping Fang He with work in the workshop for a while, he fell asleep on the desk while working.

When she woke up again, the scene around her suddenly changed. She was startled and quickly got up to look around. This was no longer the shipbuilding workshop, and Fang He was nowhere to be seen.

This is the cabin. It is late at night outside the window. The sound of waves can be heard from outside. She suddenly thought, is this big ship used by the Xu people to go out to sea? This plot... Did they encounter leeches again afterwards?

So...if she fell asleep in a dream, would she dream about the next scene?

Thinking of this, she, the "outsider" in her dream, could only leave the cabin and look around to continue looking for Fang He. She walked around and saw Fang He with a group of businessmen at the bow outside.

"Mr. Fang!" She tried calling him.

Fang He looked back and frowned: "Oh, Xing, you're finally awake. I didn't expect you were still seasick. Are you feeling better now?"

This dream...seems like it can automatically fill in the gaps about her as an "outsider"?

"Uh, much better." She scratched her head.

"Wait...what is that!?" Suddenly one of the merchants pointed at the sea and shouted.

Mu Hanxing hurried over and leaned over the bow to look out. Sure enough, there was a group of giant leeches lurking on the sea in the middle of the night. She subconsciously wanted to pick up her sword, jump across the boat and kill those beasts directly, but after calming down a little, she stopped.

Because Fang He was loved by the people of Xu State because of this incident, she couldn't ruin his career in her dream.

"Oh no! Oh no! Why are those beasts here again?!"

"Hurry, let's change our route!"

"It's no use. The stern of the ship has also been surrounded by those beasts!"

"Ah? What should I do? Help!"

This group of businessmen were so anxious that they ran away in panic, only Fang He looked calm. They must have known that he was a member of the Phoenix Clan, and the things he created were extraordinary, just like the shadow puppets that the Phoenix Clan made for the theater. There must be something special about them.

After a while, as expected, Mu Hanxing saw with his own eyes that the group of leeches were about to approach the hull, but then they shrank back as if frightened by something. Then all the leeches surged like a black tide, retreating densely and gradually disappearing into the deep sea in the darkness, leaving no trace.

"Eh? They're gone!"

"They ran away, we are saved!"

"No, that's not right. I just saw that they seemed to be afraid of this ship. They were scared!"

"Could it be..." A group of businessmen looked at Fang He, who had been calm and quiet, with admiration.

This man-made boat can exorcise evil spirits? Doesn't that mean he is the savior?
