Chapter 880: Chapter 666: So It Was Me After All! _3
Huh?
No?
Weren’t you going to fight?
Then what are you doing here? Scaring people?
Fang Zuo was about to go insane; how did things suddenly turn out like this! What happened to the war? What about the fighting? It turned out he had been scaring himself all along!
Ruosha saw the confusion in Fang Zuo’s eyes, but she didn’t offer any further explanation. Instead, she just walked away. Seeing Ruosha leave, Fang Zuo naturally hurried to follow her. After all, this place was too big; if he didn’t keep up with Ruosha, he would almost instantly get lost.
The interior of Whitestar had an extremely complex structure. It was said that the crazy nation that built Whitestar had done so with the standard of creating a weapon that would conquer planes, pouring in countless resources and manpower. But in the end, that nation vanished without a trace. Now, this planet hiding a million Nightmare Knights was right here, but not a single one was in sight.
Fang Zuo followed Ruosha wandering about, observing the mountainous machines relentlessly smelting metal, and as for what those metals turned into, he did not see. However, not seeing didn’t mean he couldn’t guess: it must be the Nightmare Knights!
The first day was spent wandering along with Ruosha; the second day was the same; the third day was still the same. By the fourth day, Fang Zuo couldn’t bear it any longer.
"Sister Ruosha, do you have any food and water here? I can’t take it anymore!"
Having not had a single drop of water or bite of rice for three whole days, Fang Zuo felt like he was about to die there.
"Eh? So you haven’t had anything to eat? I saw that you never asked for anything, I thought you had prepared yourself."
So after three days, Fang Zuo finally got to eat.
The food here was rich and plentiful, almost everything desired was available. To Fang Zuo’s amazement, there were farms and ranches underground in Whitestar! Machines of massive scale were automatically cultivating crops and herding cattle and sheep! This was more than enough to provide for food and clothing without worry.
And it was actually Ruosha herself who was preparing the food.
To Fang Zuo’s surprise, although Ruosha did not look it, her cooking skills were unexpectedly good. This, of course, was thanks to Little Zi’s excellent tutoring; everyone around Long Yi, himself included, had quite the knack for cooking.
But if Ruosha wasn’t here to fight, what was she doing here?
Asking directly didn’t seem quite right.
So Fang Zuo asked a simpler question first: "Sister Ruosha, I want to ask you something."
Ruosha waved her hand nonchalantly: "Go ahead, my little brother." She was oozing with big sister vibes.
Fang Zuo knew this was just one of Ruosha’s quirks and went straight to the point, "Do you really have to be enemies with our Azure Sky Empire, sister?"
Upon hearing this question, Ruosha looked puzzled: "When have I ever been an enemy to your Azure Sky Empire?"
Fang Zuo was also astonished: "But sister, you’ve been attacking us all this time..."
Ruosha pursed her lips, an expression on her face like she was looking at an idiot: "Why do you think I’ve been attacking you? Don’t you know?"
Fang Zuo felt an urge to cry.
It was indeed because of him! Because he foolishly heard about the Nightmare Knights and led the fleet to attack them, only to fail and end up as prisoners instead! And what followed was just a natural progression of events!
It’s really me, after all! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
