Everyone had no objection to this arrangement, and after agreeing to it, they sat down and rested.
Fengjiu sat under the tree, took out a few sips of water, then half-closed her eyes and leaned against the tree to rest. She didn't open her eyes until she heard a strange voice.
I saw that Jin Yifeng, who was not far ahead, was greeting and laughing with a middle-aged man. It seemed that they were acquaintances. Next to the middle-aged man were two men and two women. At this time, several people were staring at the people on their side, especially when their eyes fell on her belly, one of the women exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah? She's so pregnant and yet she came to this wild and dangerous place?"
“Xin’er, don’t be so presumptuous!” The middle-aged man shouted, then nodded towards Feng Jiu apologetically and said, “Madam, please don’t be offended. This little girl is ignorant.”
Fengjiu smiled and said, "It's okay. What she said is true." She retracted her gaze, protected her stomach with one hand, and squinted her eyes again to rest.
"Captain Jin, we are familiar with each other now, so there's no need to be too unfamiliar meeting here. I've asked someone to prepare barbecue, why don't you come and eat together!" the middle-aged man invited with a smile.
"No, I have asked my members to go hunting, and we will have food soon. We did not come out on our own but have a mission to accomplish, so there are many inconveniences." Jin Yifeng refused with a smile.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded: "In this case, I won't force you, and we won't bother you anymore." He cupped his hands, looked at Feng Jiu and the others, and then led the few people around him back to the rest area in front.
As they walked back, one of the women couldn't help but whisper, "Those people are really weird. They brought a pregnant woman with them to a place like this? And all of them together are less than 30 people, less than half of our team."
A man next to him looked slightly serious and said, "Except for the twenty mercenaries, the others don't look like guards, but more like young masters and young ladies from noble families."
"This is the first time I've heard of someone who dares to come to this wild and dangerous place while pregnant. It's really outrageous."
Another man shook his head as he spoke. Even a skilled monk would not be able to avoid getting hurt in here. And that woman was pregnant with such a big belly, yet she still dared to come to such a place.
"Okay, don't worry too much about other people, just take care of ourselves! Don't forget why we are here this time." The middle-aged man said, glancing at them with a warning.
The few people who originally wanted to say something else returned to the rest area and sat down without saying anything after hearing his words, but their eyes still involuntarily looked at Fengjiu and others.
The two groups rested here until the next morning, when the mercenaries led Feng Jiu and the others to continue their journey. However, not long after they started walking, the team behind them caught up.
"Captain, why are they taking the same path as us?" A mercenary looked back and asked in a low voice.
Jin Yifeng's eyes flickered slightly. He looked back and said, "Maybe it's just this section of the way. After all, this place is so big. Just because they walk behind us doesn't mean they are on the same road as us. Even if they are on the same road, they are walking their own way and have nothing to do with each other."
