Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Monkey

"Your Excellency?"

Feng Xi shook his head, this sentence seemed to bring him back to a long memory, but soon, he came back to his senses, and knew in his heart that it was just a coincidence that the other party said this sentence.

He looked at the person in front of him who was trembling with fear, but still opened his hands to block in front of him,

"You're scared of me?"

"Please don't hurt my people!" As if he hadn't heard, the other party closed his eyes tightly and kept repeating the sentence in his mouth.

When Feng Xi heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, he glanced at the group of people who got up from the ground at some point and approached this side with a timid and cautious face, as if something had been touched in his heart, and his frowning brows stretched out again,

"I'm just like you, I'm human!"

"Why hurt them?"

"People!"

When Ma heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes, at this time, he completely saw Fengxi's appearance, and was mistaken for a hairy "person", but it was actually an animal skin draped on his body.

After discovering that the other party was really the same person as himself, Ma's emotions suddenly eased, he opened his mouth, just about to say something, but when he looked at the burning flame in Fengxi's hand, he lowered his head in fear.

……

The morning star of enlightenment dots the sky.

The darkness of the night receded silently, and the glow covered the eastern sky.

At this moment, in a clearing in the jungle, a bonfire was quietly burning.

Ma opened his eyes and sat up in a panic, subconsciously glanced at the place where the bonfire was burning, and saw that the flames had not been extinguished, and the nervous expression on his face suddenly calmed down.

He silently looked at the flames in front of him, which had dimmed a lot under the glow because the night had receded, and his face changed uncertainly, sometimes showing firmness, sometimes hesitation.

Finally, as if having made up his mind, he clenched his fists, glanced at the sleeping people who were still asleep around the flames, and then carefully got up and walked towards the jungle beside him.

Soon, he came to a tall tree, and stood there silently with his head bowed, as if waiting for something.

"Why don't you sleep more?"

A question sounded from the tree, and then I saw Fengxi fall gently from a branch to the ground like a fallen leaf.

"Your Excellency!" Ma raised her head when she heard the voice, but when she saw Fengxi again, she lowered her face in awe.

"Are you afraid I'm leaving?"

Feng Xi looked at Ma, who was silent in front of him and didn't dare to raise his head, and he knew it in his heart, and then asked,

"You want me to stay?"

Ma lowered his head and nodded invisibly, followed by a nervous shake of his head, opened his mouth, and found that when the words came to his mouth, it was like a stone blocking it, and he couldn't open his mouth at all, and his shoulders immediately collapsed as if deflated.

Last night, after Feng Xi revealed his identity as a human being, the hearts of Ma and the clansmen finally let go back.

Although Ma had a lot of doubts and wanted to ask Fengxi, every time he saw the flame in the other party's hand, he swallowed back in fear.

Compared to Ma, those clansmen who had put all their hopes on him didn't seem to have much thought, except for looking at the flames in Fengxi's hands with awe in their eyes, they didn't seem to realize at all that the previous fire that lit up the jungle was related to the person of the same clan in front of them.

After half a night of worrying and tossing, many of the clansmen looked sleepy.

Seeing this, Fengxi didn't say anything, but after lighting a bonfire for them and letting them sleep peacefully next to them, he turned around and entered the jungle.

Perhaps the best and most restful night for the clansmen to sleep in, but for Ma, it is still difficult to sleep.

The light of the fire in the jungle, Feng Xi holding the flame in his hand, and the finger pointed out, a warm bonfire appeared in front of them.

As soon as he closed his eyes, this scene kept coming to his mind, and chaotic thoughts poured out of his heart, which finally condensed into a sentence that he couldn't even believe.

Leave him behind!

He wanted Fengxi to stay and help them find a new tribe.

Ma knew very well that Fengxi was different from them, and the clansmen didn't expect that when he saw the flame in Fengxi's hand, he immediately thought of the sky-high fire.

In your opinion, that kind of awe-inspiring power is not at all what people should have!

If Feng Xi had the unapproachable majesty of a god, perhaps he would not have the blasphemous thought of asking the other party to stay.

But when he found that the other party was not much different from himself except that he could control the flames, the idea of letting him stay and help him involuntarily came out and took deep root in his heart.

I couldn't sleep all night, and when he finally mustered up the courage to find Fengxi and wanted to speak, he found that he didn't have the courage to say that sentence at all.

He was afraid that Fengxi would refuse, and he was also afraid of angering the other party.

"You're both nodding and shaking your head, do you want me to stay or leave?" Feng Xi looked at the nervous and smiled.

It seemed that because the laughter broke the uneasiness in Ma's heart, and it seemed that because he had finally made up his mind, he raised his head, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes,

"I want adults to stay and help us!"

Feng Xi didn't answer when he heard this, but looked at him quietly, and when Ma's expression began to show an uneasy expression, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes faintly spit out three syllables,

"Why?"

……

Ma left with a dejected face, and all that was left in his mind was a pair of deep eyes that seemed to penetrate all the thoughts in his heart, and a word that kept echoing in his mind,

"Do you need me, or do you need me?"

Feng Xi looked at the back of Ma leaving with a faint gaze, but his face was very calm, as if the indifferent words just now did not come from his mouth.

Ma's little caution couldn't hide from his eyes at all, and when Feng Xi saw him for the first time, he could see the desire for power in the other party's heart.

He had already planned to spread his witchcraft path in the Great Wilderness, and this exiled tribe was the second tribe he had met after leaving the snake tribe, and he was also the most suitable person he had seen in this tribe to embark on the witch path.

However, he also discovered the deep desire for power in his heart, and that desire even unconsciously affected his behavior.

Feng Xi doesn't care much about this, and even his dedication to power will make his witch path smoother, but he wants to make Ma understand the meaning of his strength.

He didn't have to worry about this, and passed on the witch path to him, as long as the other party could protect his people.

It's just that in this case, sooner or later, the other party will sink because of the desire for power, and eventually go against the path of Wu.

"Volt ...... Xi! ”

After Ma left, Bai Ze, who had been following behind Fengxi and taking everything into his eyes, finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment and walked out.

"Why do you care so much about these "monkeys"? ”

Bai Ze walked over slowly and asked puzzledly, in his opinion, Fengxi, who had surpassed the mortal spirit, why did he waste time to help a group of useless 'monkeys'.

"Monkeys?"

Feng Xi raised his eyebrows, his expression did not show any anger because of Bai Ze's words, he just looked at Bai Ze expressionlessly, his eyes were cold,

"In your eyes, I'm a monkey too!"

"And they are my people!"
