Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Because they were going out of the city for a trip, and because the envoys from Yujing and Yao Kingdom were missing, the number of personnel was reduced a lot. Even so, there were still more than 200 people accompanying them.

Yao Muzhao did not come, as he had to go to the palace to continue discussing the tripartite cooperation.

At this time, there were only Yao Jun in casual clothes and Chen Xi in coarse linen clothes in the imperial carriage.

Because of what happened in the morning, both of them felt a little awkward at this moment.

Chen Xi sat on the corner of the bed, looking at the big tiger outside the imperial carriage from the side. It was the first time she saw the king of beasts tied with chains in real life, and it was so big.

Seeing that she was staring at Ah Er, Yao Jun asked to break the awkward atmosphere, "Do you like Shan Jun too?"

Chen Xi nodded: "It looks so majestic, and its chubby face is so cute, but I'm just going to take a look."

Chen Xi showed a mixed expression of love and fear. In Yao Jun's eyes, she was also very cute. He wanted to...

Yao Jun leaned over and pulled out a basket from under the bed, lifted the cloth to reveal the flesh and blood inside, and took out a piece of meat that was still dripping with blood.

He picked up the sharp knife beside him, cut the meat into small pieces, put them into the small tripod on the bed, and then moved the small tripod next to Chen Xi.

"This tiger is called Ah Er. It has the best temper. As long as someone feeds it and it's not hungry, it won't attack anyone."

Chen Xi turned around and looked at Yao Jun in surprise: "Can I feed it? I haven't fed an old... tiger yet!"

He almost said the word "tiger" by mistake. This fellow is so rash.

Yao Jun smiled calmly and said, "A'er is not old, he has just reached adulthood."

"There is a small river ahead. We will stop for a while to replenish the water. While we are at it, you can feed it the raw meat in this cauldron."

Chen Xi looked at the small tripod beside him that was filled with meat. It looked like mutton, about two or three pounds. This amount of meat was enough for a family of three to have a meal, and this was just a snack for Big Brain Axe.

Chen Xi did not say what she was thinking. After all, she would use the meat to feed the tiger later. As an ordinary vested interest holder, she had no right to say such things.

Moreover, we have only enjoyed a few days of good life, and already you have to start working for the people?

Regardless of whether Chen Xi has the ability or not, even if he has the intention, he has to face up to a very realistic problem: the current production capacity is not enough for everyone to live a prosperous life.

In this age where people depend on the weather for their livelihood, the limited land resources can only meet the basic needs of most people. When disaster strikes, the ground is littered with corpses and it is a real scene of starvation.

Speaking of natural disasters, Chen Xi thought of man-made disasters again. He turned to look at Yao Jun, looked at the golden mask on his face and asked, "Did you get your face burned in the Northern Territory?"

Yao Jun nodded and turned his head away so as not to let Chen Xi see his expression at this moment, but he forgot that he was wearing a mask at this moment, and she could only see his eyes.

Looking at the green mountains in the distance, Yao Jun said calmly, "It's ugly, isn't it?"

Chen Xi was honest: "Yeah, it's ugly."

"You..." Yao Jun was very angry. He turned around and glared at her fiercely, saying, "I have helped you so much, can't I say something nice?"

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I am just telling the truth. Rumor has it that you used to look as outstanding as a fairy or a god."

Yao Jun didn't care about his appearance before, but now he wishes he could recover to his appearance before he was injured, a face that is even more dazzling than Jun Ye's after he changed his appearance.

"That's the truth!"

Chen Xi shrugged: "It's a pity it's ruined. I haven't even seen it."

Yao Jun was indifferent. He had no way to deal with this unless the system helped, but the system had clearly refused.

Chen Xi continued: "Although your face is ruined and looks ugly now, I think it's worth it."

Yao Jun looked at Chen Xi and saw that there was no disgust or sympathy in her eyes, but instead respect and admiration.

My heart started beating uncontrollably again and my ears turned red instantly.

Yao Jun looked away with a flickering gaze, suppressing his inner excitement and said calmly, "Is it because of my battle with the Northern Barbarians?"

"Of course!" Chen Xi excitedly raised his fist, waved it and said, "Men who defend their country are the most handsome!"

The corners of his mouth behind the mask lifted uncontrollably, and Yao Jun felt happy physically and mentally. He even had an urge to run to the Northern Territory to continue fighting on the battlefield!

And this is just because of her words, "Men who defend their country are the most handsome."

He wished he could lead the cavalry and crush the Northern Barbarian King's Court right now, just to make her admire him more and keep him in her heart.

Yao Jun said sincerely: "Thank you, this is the most comforting thing I have ever heard."

This was not just a way to comfort people. Chen Xi thought so. She had admired the soldiers who defended their country since she was a child. But she did not explain, but asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Yeah, much better." Yao Jun nodded.

Chen Xi held her chin with both hands and said flatteringly with a smile: "Well, can I ask you for a favor?"

So, are you saying those nice words just to ask me to do something for you?

Haha, this fellow is not well behaved, but...

So cute!

Yao Jun looked at her expressionlessly, "...what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal." Seeing Yao Jun's stern face, Chen Xi quickly waved his hand and explained: "I just want to leave Chen Country as soon as possible and go to Yao Country to take a look, so when are we leaving?"

I thought it was a big deal!

Yao Jun sighed inwardly, his face warmed up, and he said, "In a few days, when things here are arranged, we will leave, but we must go to Yujing first to report our gains to the emperor."

Chen Xi blinked and smiled, "Yujing is great, I want to go there too, but what are the rewards you are talking about?"

Yao Jun looked at her with a smile but didn't say a word.

Chen Xi thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something, pointed at himself, and said tremblingly: "Me...me?"

Yao Jun nodded: "If it's not you, then it's me? You have to cook a big meal and show your cooking skills to the emperor. Maybe the emperor will be so happy that he will give you an official position."

Chen Xi rested his elbows on his thighs, holding his head in his palms, looking at the scenery outside the imperial carriage, and said, "I might as well open a breakfast shop. If something goes wrong one day, my head will have to move."

"That's true." Yao Jun agreed.

The awkwardness in the morning was resolved with a few words from each other, and the two of them chatted in the imperial carriage like friends.

It also allowed Yao Jun to see the lively side of the little guy, who kept asking questions about things he was curious about.

Chen Xi suddenly understood: "Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, I always thought they were ordinary mythical beasts."

Yao Jun: "...Just tell me this, don't shout it everywhere. I'm afraid you'll be caught and put in jail."

Chen Xi pouted: "Who would know that they are the gods of creation?"

"hehe."

Yao Jun looked at the little guy with disdain. In this era, you are probably the only one who doesn’t know!

"What are you looking at?" Chen Xi got angry and yelled at him unhappily.

Yao Jun smiled and said, "This is a look of appreciation."

After he finished speaking, he took off his mask, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. It was very hot wearing a mask in this weather.

Because Chen Xi didn’t know about it before, she just kept wearing it.

Anyway, the little one knows it now, so there is no need to hide it. Just wipe the sweat and wash your face.

However, just when he wiped the sweat off his face and wanted to let his face get some sun, he heard the little guy next to him say weakly, "Now that you're done, put it on."

Yao Jun: "Don't you dislike it?"

Chen Xi held the food box and said honestly, "I don't mind it, but it's too disgusting and will affect my appetite."

Yao Jun: ...Asshole!
