Gu Xijiu was also exhausted. Along the way, she had used her teleportation skill so many times and was even involved in a series of battles. At this very moment, she could feel that her legs were weak. However, she dared not take a rest like everyone else. They were new to the place, so no one could be sure that there was no incoming danger.

She wanted to send a few men out in different directions and secure the perimeter but was quickly interrupted by Di Fuyi. He sat her down on a big rock and said, “You should sit down and have a rest. I will take care of it.”

Gu Xijiu noticed his fairly pale complexion. “There is no need for that. You should rest while I check the place out.” Her eyes then swept across the hill as she said, “The place may not be too safe. We should take a break for only an hour. After that, we should resume our journey. The next stop for rest will be in the city. Tie Dan, you will guard the southern side. Tie Niu, you will take the northern side.”

After a series of commands, these men took the orders and spread to their respective positions. Their preparation was sufficient, so things moved swiftly. All of them had water and food supplies with them.

The food that they had was only grilled meat. Furthermore, they only ate when it was absolutely necessary due to the limited supply. Suddenly, someone recalled Di Fuyi’s promise. “Mr. Di, you told us that you would give us the dishes you had given to Gu Xijiu once we made it out alive.”

“Yes, Yes, Mr. Di has promised us so.”

The discussion continued.

These people continued in chatter to lighten the atmosphere.

“But, not all of us survived. Grandpa Tie Shu…” Someone had to dampen their spirits. Grandpa Tie Shu was one of the elders who chose to die in the valley for the general good. At the thought of the death of the elders, the chatter slowly faded, and the atmosphere became gloomy again.

Di Fuyi took a look at the sad faces in front of him and proceeded to take out something from his storage s.p.a.ce. In his hand, there was a small bag. The crowd was astonished. Could all the dishes be stored in this small, seemingly useless bag? It seemed impossible.

It was, indeed, impossible. Instead of the dishes, Di Fuyi took out some fruits from the bag. There were peaches, pears, and plums. There were more than a hundred pieces of fruits, and he gave them all to the clan leader and said, “Distribute the fruits to them.”

These people had never seen fruits all their lives, so most of them did not know what he had pa.s.sed to the clan leader. The clan leader knew what the fruits were, however. He thanked him for the gift and pa.s.sed the fruits to a few honest men to distribute to the villagers. “Each person can have one. The children will have two.”

The fruits tasted sweet and refreshing. It was something that the villagers had never tasted in their entire lives. Most started to enjoy it after the first bite. The children were obviously happy and screaming in excitement. They placed the fruits carefully in their hands and took careful bites.

The crowd was happy again. These people were still grateful for Di Fuyi. Without him, they would not be able to make it out alive. Before the journey out, most of them had never seen him in a battle with the Phantom Beasts. They finally had the chance to witness his strength on the journey and were thoroughly impressed. There was a look of admiration in their eyes.

On a rock, Di Fuyi sat and closed his eyes to take a short rest. He was even more exhausted than the rest of the group. After all, he was the one who took the lead in every battle with the Phantom Beasts. Furthermore, it was not that long ago that he even encountered Chaos, the great beast. His spiritual power had been greatly depleted throughout the day, and his arms and legs were getting weak.

Someone sat down next to him. He opened his eyes and saw another pair of bright eyes staring back at him. He frowned. Quietly, he shifted away. He was not used to having someone get too close to him.

He resisted the urge to push the woman far away only because she is a friend of Gu Xijiu. Chun Cao was very enthusiastic at that moment. She tapped Di Fuyi’s shoulder and complimented, “Mr. Di, you have done great! From now on, I will never call you a weak man.”
