Hua Yiyou had a long conversation with that young soldier, and after taking him outside the village to have a look around, finally convinced him that the village had not been destroyed. The young soldier, knowing the truth, let out a sigh of relief but then seemed lost. After sending him back to his room to sleep, Hua Yiyou stepped outside and spoke to Feng Yuan, who was coaxing Xiao Ji into sleep,
"Do you need me to arrange a guest room for you?"
After thinking it over, Feng Yuan refused,
"No need. I'll just set up a tent in front of the Dream Stone, Xiao Ji, you can change back now. I can't sleep with you when you're this big."
Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment, looking around. Understanding Xiao Ji's concern, Feng Yuan gently stroked the feathers on Xiao Ji's neck and said,
"Relax, do you have so little faith in the barrier you set up for me?"
"Besides, I'm not completely defenseless now. If anyone tries to ambush me, they'll regret it."
