Chapter 1342: Chen Xiaojia
“Realm Master, what do you think we should do?”
Feng Yue asked Ye Li.
She found that there were absolutely no fluctuations on Ye Li’s face, as if he hadn’t heard a word she said.
After all, the Realm Masters of Tianjing City were the most powerful warriors with B-level genes, all of them at the Tier 1 Earth King level!
“Feng Yue, you are a zombie, right?” Ye Li suddenly asked Feng Yue.
Feng Yue was startled and did not understand what Ye Li meant.
“Yes, Realm Master,” Feng Yue answered.
Ye Li smiled, “Since you are a zombie, I think you must have heard the saying, ‘Shoot the horse first to catch the rider, catch the king first to catch the thief.’
“I’ve heard of it, but the Realm Master of Tianjing is of the Tier 1 Earth King level,” Feng Yue said, her fair face filled with concern.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me,” Ye Li said slowly.
He thought that the principle of catching the king to catch the thief was a time-worn truth, yet an eternal one.
“Realm Master, the armed forces of Tianjing have already reached the Black Tree Forest, but they don’t seem to be intending to advance further,” a zombie of the Heavenly King Realm told Ye Li.
Ye Li smiled indifferently and, surveying the zombies in the great hall, said, “Just wait here for my good news.”
As soon as the words fell, he activated Swift Steps and disappeared from the great hall.
…
The Black Tree Forest.
It was a forest situated between Tianjing City and the Zombie Empire, vast beyond belief.
In the Black Tree Forest, there were all sorts of terrifying ferocious beasts, making it a true Forbidden Zone of Life for ordinary people.
Ye Li was still kilometers away from the Black Tree Forest when he activated his Heavenly Spirit Eyes to scout ahead and found that a heavy guard was already in place.
“Huh?”
“Who are you?”
Suddenly, a voice as sweet as a oriole sang out, reaching Ye Li’s ears.
A young woman about the same age as Ye Li caught his eye. She was clad in a light blue long robe, with hair down to her waist, and a face as exquisite as jade.
Her skin was as clear as ice and jade, sweat-free; a faint warm fragrance seemed to drift from her like from a water pavilion.
Indeed, this was what a fairy resembled!
Ye Li looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared. His face was very calm, unchanged by her beauty.
“May I ask who you are?”
Seeing that Ye Li hadn’t responded, the girl asked again.
“A person,” Ye Li replied slowly.
A person?
The girl chuckled, “That’s a very interesting name.”
Ye Li paused, for he realized that the girl seemed ice-smart at first glance, but her intelligence seemed in the negative.
“Alright, I’ve stopped laughing. Who are you, really?”
Hearing this, Ye Li realized that the girl had been playing with him, and he had been utterly oblivious, thinking she was unintelligent.
Ye Li felt somewhat embarrassed, thinking to himself how he could be so wise all the time and so confused in this single moment.
“Do you think I would tell you my name?” Ye Li looked at the girl.
Faced with Ye Li’s sharp tone, the girl merely smiled sweetly, “You will definitely tell me your name.”
“Why?”
“Because Xiaojia says so.”
Xiaojia?
Ye Li naturally did not know any Xiaojia, and he asked the girl:
“Who is Xiaojia?”
“I am Xiaojia,” the girl said to Ye Li.
Ye Li laughed, genuinely laughed.
Since coming to this world, he had never been tricked by anyone, and yet this time, he had been thoroughly outplayed.
“Even if you are Xiaojia, why should I tell you my name?” Ye Li asked, his face as handsome as jade showing a hint of puzzlement.
