Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: But You Can Use My People
Bai Zhi’er walked towards the courtyard exit, planning to visit Xie Yu again.
However, as she turned around, she saw the figure of Feng Fuce walking towards her along the palace road.
All she could see was the swirling white snow, but his familiar, warm dark large cloak was the only light warming Bai Zhi’er’s gaze.
"Brother Fu Ce!" Bai Zhi’er exclaimed with excitement and ran over, "Is the matter with the Demon World settled?"
Feng Fuce embraced her, wrapping Bai Zhi’er’s slender and delicate body tightly with his large cloak.
"Why are you wearing so little?" He did not directly answer her question.
Because Feng Fuce planned to find an opportunity to properly explain the matter of the Xiangsi Tree to Bai Zhi’er.
Bai Zhi’er tilted her head: "I’m not cold!"
Feng Fuce laughed and said, "After I returned, I went to Ruizhu Palace. Qingmei said you were still asleep from exhaustion. I knew you must be running late. How come you’re still lingering here?"
Bai Zhi’er sighed.
"Senior brother’s family is worrisome, I can’t bear to see them meet a bad end, so I’ve decided to stay and help solve everything before going back."
Bai Zhi’er suddenly remembered and jumped up in alarm: "Oh no, if I’ve been asleep this whole time, Sister Qingmei and Father must be worried!"
Feng Fuce held her: "Don’t worry, before I left, I met the Emperor and told him in private."
Bai Xilie knew his daughter’s abilities were extraordinary.
So, upon hearing that Bai Zhi’er had important matters to handle in a dream, he immediately instructed Feng Fuce, "You go and protect the Princess!"
Since Bai Xilie wasn’t anxious, Bai Zhi’er felt relieved.
She could focus on dealing with the internal turmoil of Yan Country.
Bai Zhi’er briefly explained the situation to Feng Fuce.
She asked troubledly, "Brother Fu Ce, how should we help them? This is my first time facing such a dilemma."
Feng Fuce, leading Bai Zhi’er, walked along the palace road and stopped at a pavilion shielding them from the wind and snow.
He rubbed Bai Zhi’er’s fingertips gently to keep her hands warm.
While gently saying, "You want to help everyone and ensure no one gets into trouble, then the best solution is to help none of them."
Bai Zhi’er frowned: "I have thought about that, but if I say it alone, they might not listen."
"Do I have to return to the palace now and ask Father to immediately dispatch troops to Yan Country? If the situation becomes a three-way standoff, they might be more cautious and not act rashly."
Feng Fuce’s handsome, cold features showed a faint smile.
"In the future, can you think of me first? Where the Emperor cannot help, perhaps I can?"
Bai Zhi’er looked at him in surprise, "You? Brother Fu Ce, surely you’re not planning to kill them all, right? That wouldn’t do."
Feng Fuce’s way of solving problems was always simple and straightforward.
If he didn’t want two people fighting, he could simply send them both to meet King Yan, and the fight would be resolved.
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "Is that the only kind of plan I come up with in your mind?"
"I want to tell you, the Emperor can’t mobilize his troops, but you can use my forces."
"The countless Demon Generals under my command will heed your orders and deploy according to your wishes."
As he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the wind and snow suddenly roared around them.
Bai Zhi’er saw, on the distant horizon, what seemed like layers of dark clouds rapidly surging in their direction.
Feng Fuce took her hand and continued, "They can also transform to look human, ensuring you won’t lose face or get into trouble."
For some reason, amidst the overwhelming snow, Bai Zhi’er looked into Feng Fuce’s eyes.
And felt that in his eyes, there was only her reflection.
