The atmosphere was very awkward.
Yun Chi sat in the car and couldn't help clearing his throat and coughing twice.
The atmosphere was really awkward.
But he could totally understand that if anyone else, after making such an impassioned speech, got a response like "Okay, then you carry the bag for me", they would probably feel ashamed and angry to death, and would not be able to face the people of Jiangdong again.
"If your throat hurts, I'll boil some hot water for you..."
"Oh, no trouble, no trouble! I'm fine, I'm really fine."
The car fell into a frozen silence again.
Yun Chi thought of the previous scene again - after hearing his words, the tall man had a blank face and was silent for a very long time, so long that Yun Chi's toes had dug out a three-bedroom, two-living-room house with a fully furnished basement from his shoes. Then he raised his head vaguely, and without saying a word, summoned a brown animal cart from the hard ground, then opened the door and humbly invited Yun Chi to sit in.
Even though the beasts of burden pulling the cart seemed to be made of mud, Yun Chi no longer had to walk on two legs.
Then, there was silence all the way.
Yun Chi thought to himself, I can't go on like this! I still have to spend a few days with her. If I ruin our relationship now, I won't be able to have fun in the future.
He thought for a moment and carefully chose an opening line: "Well, I'm sorry, asking you to be my guide is really a waste of your talent. Sakya is really a bitch, hahahahahaha..."
When the string of artificial "hahahaha" sounds like barbells gradually cooled and dissipated into the air, the man still did not open his mouth to respond.
Yunchi: “…”
Damn, is this what you call a bad start? What do you want from me? My toes are so tired and I can’t dig them anymore, I’m telling you!
"… The name of the Lord of the Ice Sea is not something we can know." After a long while, the man replied in a low voice, "Please forgive me."
Yun Chi was stuck. He laughed twice: "Haha, so that's how it is... But why did you say 'I'll wait'? After all, you are the only one sitting in the car now..."
The man looked at Yunchi with a surprised look in his eyes. He said, "You can call me Yanyan. It seems that the Lord of the Ice Sea has not explained to you that my tribe is the creation of the Earth Goddess. The land is connected and continuous as a whole. My tribe also has this characteristic: when one member speaks, it is the will of the whole tribe; when the whole tribe speaks in unison, it is also the words of one member."
“So, you look like only one, but actually, you are a group…?” Yun Chi asked in horror.
Yan Yan replied: "Yes."
"Moreover, conquering cities and plundering territories is indeed the duty of our race, but it cannot be said that we are wasting our talents by coming here to take an oath and serve you on this mission."
Yan Yan paused and whispered carefully, "On the contrary, we have already guessed your identity - you use a divine weapon that can move mountains and calm seas to protect the flowers. This is not to underestimate the power of the artifact, but the rarity of the flowers has far exceeded the value of the artifact."
Yun Chi felt confused after hearing this. What nonsense are you guys imagining
However, after Yan Yan finished speaking, he was no longer silent. He asked in a serious tone, "We will soon arrive at the city-state of Astor. Do you have any questions?"
