Yuanshin: The way to become stronger is to hurt yourself

"What did I tell you before? Just call me by my name."

"Oh...Feng Ling, when I was chatting with Lagenfinder and the others just now, I learned that their rebel army has already reached a large scale. Many people with lofty ideals in Mond City have joined the rebel army and hid themselves. Come on, there are a few noble families too..."

Yin Yi was washing the poultry meat in the basin at the moment, while talking to Feng Ling, Feng Ling, who was chopping peppers, froze for a moment, and then...the knife cut his hand.

"hiss?!"

"Feng Ling is big... Oh no, Feng Ling?!"

Feng Ling watched helplessly as she only cut lightly, but in the end a small section of her finger was directly cut off, her eyes widened.

Is your body like this?

"it's okay no problem…"

The injury healed quickly, and the thin tentacles stretched out from the cut, turning into a short finger again. Seeing this, Yin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Feng Ling squinted her eyes and put the diced peppers into the bowl.

"The civilians were summoned by Minerva?"

"Well, because of his poetry."

It is estimated that when seeing him for the first time, no one would think that such a young man is actually the leader of the rebel army, and Feng Ling did not think of it at the first sight.

The five dishes were ready soon, and the friendship of the four of them, a jellyfish and a wind elf, seemed to become more obvious because of this meal, and a flame was burning in the fireplace on the first floor of the house.

At this time, Feng Ling felt that the illusion he had set up in the tower seemed to be touched by someone, so he quietly poked Yin Yi beside him.

"Feng Ling...what's wrong?"

"Dekarapian...send for us."

Hearing this sentence, everyone else on the table was also attracted attention, and it seemed that Wendy was the only guy still holding the wine glass and not letting go.

"Everyone, the two of us will go back first, see you next time."

"Ok!"

As soon as Yin Yi's words fell, Feng Ling had already grabbed his wrist, and then the water mist filled the air, and they were nowhere to be seen after it dissipated.

"...As expected of a Demon God, come and go in such a hurry."

Minerva sighed silently, and then felt a little guy rubbing her face.

"Wendy, what's the matter?"

"Does Xiaowa yearn for the power of the demon god?"

"Hmm...not really yearning, but if there is a demon god who can help us, the odds of winning the resistance will increase a lot, won't it?"

……

The one who knocked on the door was the messenger of Dekarapian, a human being in white robe, who bowed respectfully in front of Feng Ling, and said the invitation of the Demon God of Storm.

"Dekarapian invited me to visit outside with him, to appreciate the power and orderliness of Mond City?"

"Yes, Lord Demon God of Symbiosis."

"...OK, let's go."

Feng Ling and Yin Yi, who had just left the room, looked at each other, and signaled him to wait here to inquire about some news at will, and followed the envoy to meet Dekarapian.

He actually met Dekarapian a thousand years ago, and he was no different then than he is now.

Above the main hall, the courtiers of Dekarapian knelt quietly on the ground. Most of these were the patriarchs of various nobles, and they were also the confidantes of Dekarapian.

"Mr. Feng Ling, I specially prepared a convoy to patrol around Mond with you, please."

"Thank you."

Feng Ling smiled politely, no matter where he is, he is enough to act as a facade, probably this is why Zhong Li chose him as a diplomat in the first place.

The convoy was much more luxurious than the aristocratic convoy Feng Ling had seen before. Sitting on the carriage and beside him was Dekarapian. When he opened the window slightly, he saw civilians kneeling on the ground.

This scene somewhat made Feng Ling feel a little uncomfortable.

"Dekarapian, do you think your people are happy?"

Unknowingly, Feng Ling asked such a question, the simplest question, and Dekarapian seemed a little baffled.

"Of course, I give them protection and shelter, give them everything to survive, shelter from the wind and snow, they kneel and support me, and love me, just as I love them."

"..."

Feng Ling felt that Dekarapian seemed to confuse sincerity and fear. He could clearly see the trembling and fear of these commoners, instead of admiration. Living under the king he feared, how could they Will feel at home.

What's more, there are still rampant nobles. Dekarapian doesn't seem to give them enough restraint. He is not suitable and should not be the king of Mond.

A true sage king... His family Zhongli is not bad.

But Feng Ling was just an outsider after all. Although it was clear to the bystanders, it was absolutely impossible to say it like this. With a light breath, Feng Ling looked away.

After a period of patrolling that made Feng Ling feel uncomfortable, he finally got "freedom" again, and returned to their room on the high tower. Yin Yi also told the news he had inquired about.

"The servants of the Demon God of Storm seem to be afraid of him, and they don't really obey him. There are also some noble commanders who just want to get fame and fortune from him. If this continues, Mond City will be crumbling."

"I can tell... Dekarapian is a king who doesn't care about world affairs. To put it bluntly, he is a bit stupid, really..."

Dealing with such a demon god, Feng Ling always felt a little tired.

Chapter 160 Unexpected encounter

What happened in the square before was suppressed because of the nobles' face, but Feng Ling still heard that those who were infected with his neurotoxin went crazy afterwards.

It doesn't matter if they are crazy, there is no one in the Capet family who does not bully men and women, including those guards. This is the information Leigenfind told him.

When Feng Ling returned to Laigenfinder's residence, the first thing he saw was nothing else, but a young man standing on the roof, playing the harp with the wind, and the harp beside him, spinning and dancing Wind Spirit.

Minerva and Wendy, they are really an enviable pair of friends, Feng Ling seems to think that she once had such a friend in a trance.

It's hard to get over it, ah, it's hard to get over it.

"Feng Ling...you look a little sad?"

Yin Yi was keenly aware of Feng Ling's flash of sadness, and asked with concern, Feng Ling smiled slightly, shook his head, and did not respond to Yin Yi's words.

Feng Ling and Yin Yi didn't disturb them, they quietly walked under the eaves, listening to the melodious sound of the piano and the young man's singing.

"Legend, in the very beginning, birds had no wings..."

Minerva's voice echoed in the sky for a long time, as well as the sound of Wendy's wings fluttering. Feng Ling was listening to it comfortably. Suddenly, he found that Legenfind and Amos were also leaning on each other. Watching quietly from the window.

"Legenfinder? You two are here to listen to his singing too..."

"Well, he is a great bard, born to pursue freedom and the most perfect poetry, but the current Mond City seems to be unable to tolerate the existence of bards..."

Lagenfinder's voice was also as distant as an ode. At this moment, in the moonlit night, everything was very silent, as if it were empty and confusing.

"Master Demon God in a foreign country, let me tell you something about our resistance... the battle flag is about to be raised."

It was Amos who spoke, and her voice still had some smiles, and the meaning in her words made it easy to speculate that their battle of resistance was about to start.

Not only was it aimed at Dekarapian, but it was also aimed at those nobles who cannibalize human flesh. After learning about this, Feng Ling felt indescribable.

As a witness, he may sincerely wish for these free people.

"May those with ambitions get their wishes fulfilled, may noble people have a good death, and may all living beings under the blue sky receive my blessing..."

Feng Ling slowly raised his hand, sending blessings to others as a god, and a little bit of starlight emerged from the palm of his hand, floating above the night, becoming the most shining emerald star among them.

At this moment, he is devout but also compassionate. It is rare for Feng Ling to have such emotions. Thousands of years ago, he failed to experience the resistance and struggle of Haisheng City, and after a thousand years, he can be regarded as a part of Mond's epic.

Yin Yi also silently took out her own bamboo flute from her bosom, and under the cold moonlight, harmonized with Minerva.

……

"Wendy, as a free spirit of Thousand Winds, you have become friends with me who is now deprived of freedom. Why?"

On the roof at this moment, Minerva also asked Wendy this question under the cover of this atmosphere.

"Well... because the song is good, the wine is good, and you are a nice person, I feel very comfortable being friends with you."

Wendy's answer was so simple that it moved people's hearts. Now he is just a little wind elf who was born only a few years ago. Although he also understands some ways of the world, he is still younger after all.

"Haha, really? I used to be such a good person in your eyes, so tell me... If I'm not by your side in the future, will you still make other friends?"

There seemed to be a gloomy look in Minerva's eyes. As Amos said just now, their battle of resistance is about to start, and no one can guarantee that they will survive such a war.

But he seemed to have made up his mind, and the only thing he couldn't let go of was the Thousand Wind Elf.

"Friends will definitely be made, but no matter how many friends I have, Xiaowa will always be the first in my heart!"

"This answer is full marks!"

Sunset and sunrise, day after day, year after year, Feng Ling received a communication from Zhongli in Mond City, and a small emerald golden spot of light came to Feng Ling facing the morning sun in the early morning.

"Feng Ling, how is it in Mond? Is it dangerous?"

Zhongli's voice was still so thick and magnetic, and the first sentence he said was to ask about Feng Ling's condition.

"Zhongli? Well... there is no danger in Mond. After all, Dekarapian would not dare to attack me no matter what, but the diplomacy with Mond... If their resistance fails this time, I think it can be done. .”

If the resistance fails and Mond City is still a pool of stagnant water, there is no need for such a country to have a good relationship. They will disappear in the wind and snow without external force.

But at the same time, Feng Ling was also thinking that if they could provide some assistance to their cause of rebellion, and use it as a bargaining chip to establish diplomatic relations after success, they would save all the complicated steps behind.

"Well, I will refer to it, but no matter what, be careful."

"I will... Eh? Zhongli, did you miss me these few days when I was away? Did you go to drink with someone else?"

Now that the business is over, it's time for Feng Ling to flirt with Zhong Li, Zhong Li heard the hidden meaning in Feng Ling's words, and sighed helplessly and a little angrily.

I knew he was joking.

"So in your heart, am I the one who would drink with others while you were away?"

"Of course not... Hey."

"...I will prepare the wine and wait for you to come back."

"..."

After Zhong Li said this, the golden spot of light dissipated, and Feng Ling blinked in a daze, thinking about the meaning behind his words.

Hiss~ It's over, it's over, I'm going to lose my waist after I go back this time!

In addition to the conversation with Zhong Li today, there is actually another big event for Feng Ling, that is, he unexpectedly met an unexpected person in Mond City.

That white-haired girl in a white robe walking among the crowd is not...

"Sidi?"

"you…?"

When the siblings met, they stared blankly at each other. Feng Ling never expected that he would run into Sidi, his...sister, in Mond City?

After finding a small shop by the side of the road and sitting down, Sidi obviously hadn't recovered from his expression.

"You...why are you here?"

"I have received an invitation from the Demon God of Storm, and come here for diplomatic exchanges as a representative of Liyue. How about you?"

Feng Ling drank the juice in the glass, answered Sidi's question and asked back, Sidi seemed to have an abnormal expression, and replied "Come to find someone".

Feng Ling: ...

Sister, you can't manage your expression well. You are much colder with a cold face on weekdays. You can't hide your thoughts. Why do you feel that you are not looking for a normal person?

Under Feng Ling's suspicious expression, Sidi finally succeeded under his brother's eyes, from "coming to find someone" to "coming to find the demon god".

Then he just lowered his head and stopped letting Feng Ling look at her face.

To be honest, Feng Ling also found it very novel to see a face that was exactly like her own with such an expression.

It was his cheap little sister who always seemed to have something in her heart, as if she was hiding from herself.

Chapter 160 Looking for Birds

"Feng Ling... Oh no, Feng Ling, you are here, I'm looking for... Huh?"

Yin Yi came here at this time, and seemed to have something to say to Feng Ling, but when he found it, he hadn't finished talking, and was stunned because of the faces carved out of the two molds in front of him.

"Uh...huh?"
