“Is this vegetable juice?”

Le Yao said, “Yes, you can be rest assured that the vegetable juice is very delicious and good for you.”

“Is that true?” said Xu Yao. Then he sipped the vegetable juice and nodded, “Well, it’s really good.”

Le Yao: “!!!”

Obviously it is a juice squeezed from bitter gourd and celery!! False! Hypocritical!

Xu Yao wanted to laugh at Le Yao’s expression when he realised his failure. Moreover, he didn’t think that the vegetable juice was bad. It was indeed a little bitter, but the taste was quite unique.

Le Yao had originally wanted to add salt and vinegar to Xu Yao’s juice, but thinking back to what Uncle Ming had said about the past, he had curbed that impulse. Now that I think about it, it really is a great regret. I knew that I should not have only added salt and vinegar, but also arsenic!

But then again, these people had a big appetite just like Xu Yao. Le Yao had made ten dishes, one soup and one dessert, and the size of these dishes were very large. There was nothing left. Xu Yao had eaten a lot of vegetables and rice, and surprisingly had drunk all of the bitter vegetable juice.

Le Yao also wanted to cut some fruit as an after-dinner snack, but Guan Xuefeng and Tang Ye refused in unison, since they wouldn’t be able to move any more if they ate again. Guan Xuefeng said, “Xiao Le, take a rest first. Uncle Guan has something to ask of you that will trouble you in a bit.”

“What is it, Uncle Guan?” Le Yao asked.

Guan Xuefeng replied with a smile, “Let Xu Yao tell you. I have to get up and take a walk. I ate too much.”

Tang Ye said, “Thank you Mr Xiao Le for your hospitality. I will also go for a walk, and will see you later.”

Le Yao said, “See you later.” After waiting for the two people to leave, he turned to ask Xu Yao, “Why did he say he would see me later?”

Xu Yao pulled him to the sofa and sat down, before he said, “I have roughly told Uncle Guan about your ability to summon the dead. This matter can either be big or small. Many people have seen it before, from when Tang Ye was possessed by Rong Gui. If we keep it hidden, it would become a hidden danger. I hope for you to be able to use your current ability to the fullest. Even if you are not serving the Flying Wolf Division, you don’t need to hide it, do you understand?”

“No, I don’t understand,” said Le Yao. He pulled his hand from Xu Yao’s grasp, “A fish that is worth five or six hundred yuan at most, I foolishly believed that it was worth six hundred and fifty thousand yuan because a certain person told me so. I think there’s something wrong with my IQ.”

Xu Yao: “...”

A moment later, Le Yao was poked. Xu Yao said with a sweet smile, “So, you want to settle this small account?”

Le Yao was silent.

Xu Yao said, “Didn’t I drink all of the bitter gourd and celery juice? Still not enough?”

Le Yao’s mouth ’hissed’ and he squeezed his shoulder, “I’m sore all over from cooking today.”

“Should I help you relax?”

Le Yao was guarded as he responded, “What do you mean by relax?” Would he massage him this time?

Xu Yao got up, bent over, and hugged Le Yao horizontally to carry him into the bedroom. After a while, the sound of Le Yao screaming came from the bedroom, but soon, it was replaced by sweet moans.

About ten minutes later, a wolf’s low laughter came from the bedroom. The wolf wiped his claws and said to the little rabbit, “Le Yaoyao, aren’t you too fast?”

Le Yao held his quilt tightly, and his body flushed with anger.

Damn it, who needs this kind of ’relaxation’!

To which Xu Yao responded, “Well, don’t stare at me like that. Your cup of celery and bitter gourd juice can’t hold my fire. If you stare at me again...”

Le Yao jumped out of the bed like a thunderbolt and rushed out without changing his slippers.

Xu Yao: “...”

Guan Xuefeng and Tang Ye hadn’t gone far, and they were just chatting and walking on the path outside. Seeing Le Yao come out, Guan Xuefeng smiled and said, “Ready?”

Le Yao knew that the reason why Xu Yao had explained things before must be because the Commander wanted to see his ability with his own eyes, so he nodded, “I’m ready, Uncle Guan.”

There were three Tianyan talismans in his bag, from the five he had originally drawn for Xu Yao before. After Xu Yao had used two of them, he only had three left now.

Xu Yao also came out of the house. He held shoes in one hand and the dinosaur rattle in the other as he said, “Why are you running? In such a hurry, even forgetting these important props.” Upon saying this, Xu Yao squatted down and helped Le Yao change from his slippers into his shoes.

Guan Xuefeng said, “Xiao Le, if you have something to do, you can do it first. I can wait with Tang Ye here.”

Le Yao felt even more frustrated when his ankle was grabbed by Xu Yao and uttered loudly, “It’s alright. Let’s go, Uncle Guan.”

“Is it really alright?” Guan Xuefeng asked Xu Yao.

Xu Yao said with a smile, “It’s alright. He said that his shoulders and back were uncomfortable, but he shouldn’t be too tense if we really go outside since I already gave him a few pinches to relax.”

Le Yao: “...” Your family’s ’shoulders and back’ is a little one that will grow bigger if it gets pinched! No, where’s your face, Mr Xu?

In the flying hover car, Le Yao drew a big ’X’ for Xu Yao in his heart. He felt that he could not live peacefully for even one day with this man.

After a while, he found that the flight distance had been set extremely far from their house, so he asked, “Aren’t we going to the seaside?”

Xu Yao said, “No, we’ll go to the place where we fought against the Sarnas.”

“But I’m not sure if I can summon the dead soldiers of the Flying Wolf Division,” said Le Yao.

Xu Yao reassured him, “Try it. No matter the result, just try.”

Guan Xuefeng hadn’t seen the dead with his own eyes and didn’t comment on anything, but he personally still thought that it was quite mysterious.

’After a person dies, they would continue to exist in the world as a spirit.’ This was what Xu Yao had told him, and it was impossible for him to believe this if he didn’t see it with his own eyes. After all, it sounded too mysterious.

At this time, Tang Ye asked, “Is Rong Gui here?”

Tang Ye was curious about the ghost who was once attached to him. It was also strange to say that after he had drunk Rong Gui’s ’drinking’ wine last time, he seemed to have become more receptive to such things, and slept well at night when using the talismans Le Yao had given to him.

Le Yao took out the three Tianyan talismans and asked, “Would you like to have a look now, Lieutenant General Tang?”

“How?” asked Tang Ye.

“Don’t move,” said Le Yao. Then he took a Tianyan talisman and stuck it onto Tang Ye’s forehead. He quickly pointed his finger to the rune he had drawn on the talisman, and then said, “Open ~”

Tang Ye felt dizzy, and the blue tendons on his forehead twitched several times. He kneaded it subconsciously and opened his eyes slowly. Hm? Nothing?

“You can’t see anything right now, you will see the dead when we get there,” said Le Yao.

Xu Yao asked, “Help me open my sight too.”

It was not Xu Yao’s first time seeing the dead, so Le Yao quickly helped him open his sight. When Guan Xuefeng saw these young men playing around happily, he asked Le Yao, “What are you opening?”

Le Yao said, “This Tianyan talisman can let you see the things that you normally can’t see.”

Guan Xuefeng asked, “So, this one’s for me?”

There was one last Tianyan talisman in Le Yao’s hand.

Le Yao nodded in response, “Would you like to try it? Although I can summon the dead, you won’t be able to see them without opening your sight.”

Guan Xuefeng looked at Xu Yao and Tang Ye and voiced out in agreement, “Alright, I’ll try it.”

It’s so strange. In my entire lifetime, I have never heard of anyone who could summon the dead. Can this child really do it?

All three of the Tianyan talismans had been used up, and the atmosphere in the hover car became a little weird. Xu Yao was still calm, but Guan Xuefeng and Tang Ye were expressing utter confusion through their faces. They seemed to be a little nervous, but there was also some expectation and curiosity mixed into their tension.

Finally, the hover car arrived at the place where they had fought against Sarna’s orcs. Le Yao felt that the air here was different from elsewhere. As they got closer and closer, the sound of fighting gradually leapt into everyone’s ears, with a strange roar that became louder and clearer...

“Xu Yao, did you arrange night training here?” asked Guan Xuefeng.

“No. There should be no one here,” said Xu Yao.

“Then, what’s that voice?” Tang Ye was vaguely guessing, but he was not sure.

“Not only are the dead of the Flying Wolf Division here, but also the Orcs of Sarna.” Le Yao frowned and pointed his finger some distance away, “Look at that.”

Everyone looked in the direction of Le Yao’s finger, only to see thousands of undead soldiers fighting together on the ground, and the sounds of shouting and killing filled the sky, the scene seemingly reminiscent of the Bronze Ages. They were attacking each other desperately with brute force, but no one really fell down.

The dark brown undead Orcs sharply contrasted with the gray-blue attired Flying Wolf soldiers. The Flying Wolf soldiers had formed a huge circle to trap the undead Orc inside. None of them would fall down, but no one could leave either.
