Home of the Brave

"Have you never seen it?" Esther sighed with a disappointed expression. "That's right, that young man shouldn't appear in front of a mortal casually... I originally wanted to invite him to the celebration tomorrow if he was lucky enough to meet him..."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help..." Dai Yang breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to change the subject. "But is there a celebration tomorrow? What celebration?"

"Why? Xiaosan, don't you know?" Esther showed a surprised look and told him the unexpected news. "Because of an incident like the cannibal crow, the ring competition can no longer be held, so the elders negotiated and elected representatives of the various tribes to participate in the next stage of the competition. The selected soldiers will go directly to the collection of sky spears. The venue is put to the test. In order to practice for the players who are about to leave, Saari City will hold a lively celebration tomorrow-this event was announced yesterday, right?"

"I was busy with business yesterday, but I didn't notice it..." Dai Yang scratched his hair. Hearing that the ring match was stopped, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, and then asked the Valkyrie: "Speaking of which, since it is If the method of election is decided, then the representative of the Musa tribe will surely be Noin, right?"

"Of course." Esther answered proudly, puffing out her chest.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Dai Yang couldn't help but worry about Nuoyin. "Where is the sky spear stored? Is it dangerous?"

"The specific location is the top secret that only the elders know, and we don't know it either." Esther said helplessly. "Moreover, in order to prevent accidents, only the selected fighters can go there. It is impossible for other people to even want to see the excitement."

"That's it..." Dai Yang said bitterly. He thought that he would follow Noin if necessary, but it seemed impossible now. "But since it's Noyin, it should be no problem." Dai Yang has 120,000 confidence in Noyin's strength. If it is a fair test with equal conditions, I am afraid that only Afrah can cause trouble to Noyin, and when it comes to winning or losing, he is willing to use all his assets to bet Noyin's victory.

"I heard that the elders have secretly started preparing for the celebration banquet... Hmph, I don't want to see what they looked like when they were crying and begging for the priest." Katyuya seemed to have a lot of opinions about this.

"Anyway, it would be best if everything goes smoothly!" Dai Yang shook his head helplessly, his eyes fell on Valkyrie's purchases. "The things in your basket are prepared for tomorrow's celebration?"

"Huh? Ah, I originally planned it this way, but I'm afraid it won't come in handy..." Katyuya sighed melancholy, then looked up and smiled at Dai Yang. "Don't talk about it, Xiaosan, will you come to the celebration tomorrow, right?"

"Well, maybe? If you have time." Thinking of the jealous demon in the room with a fever, Dai Yang gave a vague answer.

"Wait, Xiaosan, did you come to Saari City alone?" Katyuya's eyes suddenly lit up. "You can't come to the celebration without a female companion. Let me introduce a female companion to you!"

"Huh? Well, no, I may not be free..." Dai Yang hurriedly refused after reacting, but even Esther joined in.

"Yeah, good idea! Just do it, Katyuya, she will be very happy!" Esther clapped her hands and said to Dai Yang happily, "I think about it, then make an appointment in the morning. See you at the terrace square at the beginning? Xiaosan, remember? In front of the terrace square, don't let girls wait for a long time!"

"Wait, I may not be free tomorrow?" Dai Yang advocated again.

"What is more important than dating?" After all, it was the Valkyrie team serving the emperor, and Esther showed the bold and cheerful side of his character. "That's it! Xiaosan, if you dare to release other people's pigeons, then you will be an enemy of all the Valkyrie teams?"

"Yes...Is it so serious?" Dai Yang was stunned. I'm afraid no one can remember the big hat that Esther threw over.

"Give up, Xiaosan, Esther is unreasonable at this time." Katyuya patted him on the shoulder, comforting him. "All in all, see you at the Terrace Plaza tomorrow morning before the celebration begins! She will definitely dress up, so you remember to dress nicely?"

"She?" Dai Yang's mind appeared for a moment, but then he shook his head and said to himself that it was impossible.

"It's a good thing without delay, Katyuya, let's go back and prepare now!"

Esther who said this, waved his wings and flew excitedly. Katyuya also followed her and flew into the sky, not forgetting to turn her head to tell Dai Yang.

"Remember, Xiaosan, you can't be late tomorrow!"

"...Just said that I might not be free."

Looking at the back of the Valkyrie in the sky, Dai Yang couldn't help but sighed. Although I don't know who Esther wants to introduce, but I am afraid I can only say sorry to her.

After leaving the market, Dai Yang returned directly to the "Homing Bird". Going back to the room first, Little Medusa is helping Ji Yao change the towel on his forehead, except that Ji Yao still has a low-grade fever, Ji Yao sleeps peacefully. Dai Yang greeted little Medusa, then borrowed the hotel's kitchen, boiled the herbs he bought, and then returned to the room with him.

The herbal medicine gave off a strong smell. Dai Yang put the bowl on the bedside, still worrying about how to wake up Ji Yao, but saw Ji Yao's nose shook a few times, then opened his eyes and looked over here.

"Are you awake? Just drink this bowl of medicine." Dai Yang took the medicine over.

"No!" Who knew Ji Yao categorically refused, and buried his head deeply in the bed, making the man carrying the medicine stunned on the spot.

"Hey...hey, there is no poison, it is a medicine for reducing fever." Dai Yang tried to explain that he thought that anti-monster was doubting the quality of the medicine.

"No! It doesn't matter if it is poisonous or not, let's not drink that kind of thing anyway!" Ji Yao made a vague voice from the quilt, and his rejection attitude was very firm.

"Idiot, as a sick person, there is no room for picking and choosing, come out and drink medicine!"

"No! Never!"

Dai Yang tried to pull the quilt away, but Ji Yao held on tightly, as if he would never come out to drink medicine even if he was killed. After five or six minutes of such a stalemate, considering that tearing the sheets would cause compensation, Dai Yang had to give up the violent implementation plan first.

"...You guy, are you a kid?" Dai Yang looked at the jealous demon hiding in the bed in distress, and then looked at the medicine that was worth twenty lien in his hand. He really didn't want to be wasted like this, so he had to change it. Take the flexible route. "Okay, okay, let me be afraid of you... Let's talk about it, what on earth do you want to take medicine?" He sighed and asked.

Hearing the man's sigh, Ji Yao slightly relaxed the quilt he was holding tightly, and quietly poked half of his head out of the bed, his purple eyes staring at the man. After blinking twice, he pouted and asked.

"... Do you have to drink it?"

"Nonsense." Dai Yang replied firmly.

"Then, any request is fine?"

"As long as it's not too difficult..." Dai Yang replied helplessly.

"Hmm..." Ji Yao groaned for two or three seconds, and then resolutely said: "Then we want to drink sweet! Use sweet honey to season it! It must be sweet enough to cover the bitterness!"

"Honey? Hey, are you too extravagant? Can't you use brown sugar?"

For ordinary people, honey can be said to be a very expensive luxury. Dai Yang put forward a compromise plan with a bitter expression, but Ji Yao retracted his head back into the bed, obviously there was no discussion. In the end, the man who had no choice had no choice but to ask the innkeeper for honey, pour it into the soup, and bring it back to Ji Yao's bed.

"Well, kid who is afraid of taking medicine, the decoction with honey has been delivered. Come out and eat it soon?"

Hearing Dai Yang's greeting, Ji Yao poked his head out, sniffed the smell of the soup medicine between his nose, and smiled happily after confirming that there was honey in it. However, when Dai Yang passed the decoction, she didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, she opened her mouth as a matter of course. Needless to say, she knew what she was expecting.

"...You fellow, are you really a kid?" Dai Yang stared at the jealous demon, showing a distressed expression, but finally he sighed and took the soup medicine with a spoon and delivered it to the jealous demon's mouth.

"Ok... so bitter!" Ji Yao only took a sip, and her eyebrows tightened. "You, do you really put honey?"

"Nonsense! I'm just arguing, and the boss agreed to sell me Shilien's honey. Are you still dissatisfied with it?" Dai Yang said angrily.

"The sweetness is not enough! Didn't we say that you want to be sweet enough to overwhelm the bitterness?" Although this complained, Ji Yao still frowned and drank the potion slowly.

Thinking that the thirty lien spent was finally not in vain, Dai Yang felt a little more happy. He looked at the jealous monster who was "pouch" over there, and asked with concern: "How do you feel now?"

"Well, it's so bitter, like a lot of mud has been stuffed into your mouth..." Ji Yao looked over with resentment.

"Who asked you this, I was asking if there is anything wrong with your body?" Dai Yang refilled a bowl of water and handed it to Ji Yao. "Use this to rinse your mouth... In addition, your high fever is caused by the out of control of the evil spirit. I heard Medusa said that if it is not handled well, it will leave serious sequelae. Are you really okay?"

"It's okay, it's just an old problem." Ji Yao took the bowl, mumbled a sip of water, and then stuck out his tongue, revealing a sigh of relief.

"You fellow, do you think this is someone else's business?" Looking at Ji Yao's indifferent appearance, Dai Yang could only stop there. "In short, your body has recovered, right?"

"Well, as you can see, breaking the neck of the bison with a slap is not a problem." Ji Yao's words didn't seem to be a joke at all.

"Are you an ogre..." Dai Yang muttered, then looked up at Ji Yao and said with a serious face: "If this is the case, then we will move around freely tomorrow, right?"

"Free movement?" Ji Yao's eyes stared for a moment. "What do you mean? You did so many things to us, and you want to abandon us?"

"Idiot, it's just a day's free activities." Dai Yang explained. "I ran into an acquaintance when I just went out to buy medicine and asked me to attend tomorrow's celebration..."

"What? Will there be a celebration tomorrow?" Ji Yao interrupted him, his eyes flashing light.

"Yes, it seems to be preparing for the next stage of the heavenly election ceremony." Dai Yang said. "Originally, I was thinking, if you are not well, you won't go to attend and stay to take care of you, but since you are cured, then I'd better go." Dai Yang shrugged his shoulders, and took care of you at the market. Esther and the others said what had happened, and then said helplessly: "After all, they all said it like that. I don't want to be an enemy of the entire Valkyrie team."

"Hey, that's it..." Ji Yao squinted her eyes and her voice and expression suddenly turned cold. "In other words, when we were ill in bed and groaning in pain, are you holding flowers in both hands, hugging left and right, enjoying the lively and sweet celebration?"

"...Didn't you just say that you are cured?" Dai Yang countered. "And, how can there be any hugs? I don't even know who is dating."

"Woo, we have known for a long time that no man is a good thing..." Ignoring the man's explanation, Ji Yao covered his face with his hands and made a sad voice. "While we were in a coma, I obviously looked over our body and said that just now I forced us to drink that kind of bitter and astringent thing, but in a blink of an eye, we are going to abandon us... For the old man, this is what the so-called grimace is..."

"Hello..."

"Ah, my head is starting to hurt again... Is the poison that I just drunk? Even the stomach and intestines are beginning to hurt... It hurts, it hurts, I can't make it out even a little bit of strength..." Ji Yao He fell back on the bed, pretending to be weak and painful. "Let's just die quietly, let the cruel man go and make new love... I don't know what kind of expression he will look like when he comes back to see our cold body... Do something weird..."

"You...you are clearly a mess!" Dai Yang looked at the shameless jealous demon with dumbfounded tears, and his father's teachings appeared in his heart again.
