At this ti, all four of them had returned to Chu Wu’s residence. Chu Wu spoke to the butler:
"Prepare a lavish feast for to welco my friends."
"Yes." The butler imdiately obeyed and went to prepare the food.
Dao San Qian didn’t feel anything unusual since he was not yet a cultivator.
However, Yue Guang and Jun Wu Xiao felt sowhat strange because for more than ten years, they had only lived on eaten leaves and water.
Yue Guang looked towards Jun Wu Xiao and asked:
"Should we continue to not eat, or should we eat now? After all, for over ten years, we have only eaten leaves and drunk water."
Before Jun Wu Xiao could respond, Chu Wu exclaid in surprise:
"You an to say you and he have survived on just leaves and water? Can humans really live like that?"
Dao San Qian was also curious and awaited the answer, as he, like Chu Wu, was not a cultivator.
"When you break through, your body undergoes significant changes. It can be said that at that ti, you will beco a half-human. To be precise, at that ti, you appear human, but so of your body’s organs transform into sothing different from ordinary people. Initially, I did not pay attention to this issue because I was accustod to eating rice. When I t Yue Guang, she told about that so I started to investigate more about my current body." explained Jun Wu Xiao.
"Ah, I see. But it doesn’t matter what creature I beco, as long as I complete what I must do." Chu Wu declared.
Dao San Qian nodded in agreent. As long as he could protect the world, he was willing to beco anything.
"Ah, but then, can you eat normal food?" Chu Wu asked.
"Of course, regular food is even easier to digest than leaves. If I can’t digest it, it ans my body is weaker, not stronger." Jun Wu Xiao quickly said.
He then looked towards Yue Guang and said:
"You should eat too since we haven’t lost our sense of taste. Besides, this ti we are out for fun, and if we find sothing interesting, we should just do it."
Hearing this, Yue Guang also felt it made sense. After all, it had been over twenty years since she had gone out to have fun, and taking a little trip now didn’t seem too bad.
"Good, if we’re going out to have fun, we should definitely enjoy ourselves. I’m also quite curious about what it will feel like to eat delicious food after so many years." Yue Guang said with a smile.
"Alright, if you have decided so, let’s go then. This al will surely not disappoint you, and you can continue eating leaves as usual on other days." Chu Wu said in a joking tone.
Everyone simultaneously looked toward Chu Wu, and then Jun Wu Xiao said:
"What do you an by that? We will be here so long and you’re just making us one al."
Chu Wu laughed and responded with utmost seriousness as if a good friend caring for his friends:
"I do it because I want it to be good for you. A lavish al after a long ti of eating leaves will elevate the experience to a new level. If you eat lavishly too often, this al will just beco a normal experience, and you won’t have a profound impression of this outing."
"I spit on that, you’re just afraid of spending money. Let give you a al of leaves for a deep impression then." Jun Wu Xiao scoffed.
Chu Wu also didn’t want to eat leaves. Actually, it’s not just about not wanting, he couldn’t as his body had not yet undergone a breakthrough. If Jun Wu Xiao brought so strange leaves that poisonous, he might just end up dead after eating them.
"Forget it, eat as many als as you like." Chu Wu said.
"Ha ha, as long as you admit defeat, that’s fine. Actually, one al is not a problem for . But let’s put this aside and talk about capturing soone. Where exactly will we go?" Jun Wu Xiao asked.
Hearing this, Yue Guang and Dao San Qian also listened attentively. After all, it was their first ti capturing an emperor, how could they not feel interested?
"It’s not too far from here. This ti I’m bringing only a small army so we can move quickly. If we encounter no obstacles, we should arrive within a month. The kingdom isn’t large, but the capital is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is very treacherous, so an attack will definitely cause significant losses. It’s not that I can’t conquer it, but I don’t want many people to sacrifice for this cause, so I’m leaving this place to you." Chu Wu said seriously.
Jun Wu Xiao listened intently, already grasping the general situation of the kingdom. Still, he wanted to tease Chu Wu, he said arrogantly:
"You didn’t need to ntion that last part. If you can’t do it, then you just can’t. At tis like these, only I can be your only hope. Do you now realize my formidable power? Kneel and thank already."
Chu Wu’s expression darkened upon hearing this, as he thought of ways to counter Jun Wu Xiao’s taunt. Suddenly, he looked at Yue Guang and smiled:
"Yue Guang, you are also my friend, could you help ? I can see that you are a cultivator too, so if you help , I won’t need the assistance of that dog anymore."
Yue Guang was taken aback by the sudden question. She saw in Jun Wu Xiao’s eyes as if he was saying, "No, absolutely do not agree." but she smiled in response:
"Ha ha, of course I agree. You are my friend, isn’t it natural for to help you? There’s no need for kneeling and thanks."
Jun Wu Xiao saw his teammate switch sides, creating a two-against-one situation, and he imdiately turned to Dao San Qian.
Dao San Qian, finding the situation quite amusing, decided to tease Jun Wu Xiao further. He laughed and said:
"Ha ha, Chu Wu is a new friend of mine, I should prioritize the newcor. I’m on Chu Wu’s side."
Feeling betrayed, Jun Wu Xiao pointed at them:
"You... You... You replace the old with the new. You forget just because you have new friends."
Seeing his almost tearful, aggrieved look, Yue Guang burst into laughter:
"Ha ha ha, you’re overacting. If you really started crying, I’d die laughing."
Yue Guang, who had spent the most ti with Jun Wu Xiao among them, knew exactly what kind of person he was. He was just playing around, he had never truly cried.
Jun Wu Xiao, realizing his antics were seen through, decided to drop the act, returning to his normal state and said:
"Even if you knew, you didn’t have to say it. Why not let finish playing the role of a weak man betrayed by his friends?"
Chu Wu and Dao San Qian burst out laughing:
"Ha ha ha, a weak man. Where exactly are you weak?"
"That’s why I had to act." Jun Wu Xiao replied.
Then, days passed, and the four of them continued their lighthearted banter until the army was fully assembled.
"You are ready to go, the army is fully gathered." Chu Wu announced.
"Is it ti already? Then let’s go." Jun Wu Xiao said as he put on a demon mask he carried with him.
"I want a mask too, I don’t want too many people to know about ." Yue Guang said.
" too." Dao San Qian added.
"Wait a mont, let get two for you." Chu Wu said and then went to fetch two masks to hand over to them.
After the preparations, the four of them went to the army encampnt, which this ti consisted of about ten thousand soldiers.
At that mont, Chu Wu, clad in battle armor, stood before the entire army and shouted:
"All troops, march!"
Everyone spurred their horses into motion, moving at top speed straight towards the small kingdom.
