"Leave? You think you can leave? You're incredibly audacious to rob our Luo family's tomb. Do you think you can leave here alive?" Luo Lin said, glaring at him.

Meanwhile, the guard captain Chen He had his hand on the hilt of his sword, as if he would immediately draw his sword and kill the unfortunate female thief at Luo Lin's command.

Ye Feng glanced at the female tomb raider and said, "Your agility is quite good."

"Really? I also think my agility is pretty good. Let me tell you, I'm a master at escaping!" the tomb raider said with great enthusiasm.

"Is this something to be proud of? I'm ashamed of you!" Rowling said irritably.

The female tomb raider exclaimed, "Hey, you don't understand. You big shots have no worries about food and drink, and you don't have to worry about being killed. Of course, you don't need my ability to save your life and escape. But I'm different. I'm just a small thief. I don't know where my next meal is coming from, and I owe a lot of spirit stones. If I hadn't run fast enough and been more discreet, I would have been killed by someone with a sword long ago."

"You're a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm, surely you shouldn't be having such a hard time?" Ye Feng said meaningfully.

"So what if they're martial artists at the Separation and Union Realm? They're far inferior to people like you!" the tomb raider said.

Ye Feng rubbed his temples, finding it incredibly difficult to talk to this female tomb raider; he could never keep up with her train of thought.

"So, what's your name?" Night Wind asked.

“My name is Zijing,” the female tomb raider replied.

"Bauhinia? What's your surname then?" Night Wind asked again.

“I don’t have a surname, my name is Zijing,” the female tomb raider said without hesitation.

"How come it doesn't even have a surname?" Luo Qing asked curiously.

Zijing said with a smile, "Because I don't know who my biological parents are. I was found by my adoptive father. When my adoptive father found me, there was a Bauhinia flower in my swaddling clothes, so my adoptive father has always called me Zijing, and that's how my name was decided."

"That's really casual," Luo Qing said.

“However, the name Bauhinia is quite nice; it’s rather poetic,” Rowling said.

“I think so too!” Zijing laughed.

This was already deep in the dense forest, and Ye Feng had released his divine sense to scan the surroundings, but he had not detected the aura of the Crimson-Tailed Beast.

So Ye Feng said, "Let's set up camp and rest here."

At Ye Feng's command, the dozen or so guards sprang into action, quickly lighting bonfires and even setting up tents in the camp.

The maid, Luo Xiaotong, used her beloved frying pan to cook for Luo Lin and Luo Qin.

The female tomb raider, Zijing, leaned closer and asked, "Do you have any for me? Do you have any for me?"

But the maid didn't even glance at Zijing.

Zijing said angrily, "And I was just protecting you! You heartless little thing!"

"Stop fooling around," Ye Feng said.

Zijing finally calmed down.

Rowling asked, "Grandpa, what do we do next?"

“I need to understand the situation first,” Night Wind said.

Rowling immediately said, "When the Crimson Tail Beasts attacked, I had Vice Captain Jiang Wei lead a large group of people to break through. If they were lucky enough, they should have already broken through and headed to Jiangxia City."

"Jiangxia City?" Ye Feng looked puzzled.

Rowling picked up a twig and drew a map on the ground.

It has to be said that Rowling's drawing skills are really quite rough, but fortunately, Ye Feng can understand the map she drew, and it matches Luo Tong's memories.

"This is the current territory of our Luo family, Luo Yun City, only this small part remains... This is Jiangxia City, this is Tianyu City, this is Huasheng City, this is Fengtu City..."

Jiangxia City, Tianyu City, Huasheng City, Fengtu City, and more than twenty other cities of varying sizes were all formerly Luo family territories.

All these cities together form the complete Southern Territory!

However, due to the turmoil a hundred years ago, the Luo family lost its title as the Southern Territory King, so now the Luo family only has the small territory of Luo Yun City left.

"Of these cities, Jiangxia City is the closest to our Luoyun City, so my order to Jiang Wei was to lead the civilians of Luoyun City to Jiangxia City. Moreover, when the Crimson-Tailed Beasts first attacked our Luoyun City, they hadn't formed a tight encirclement, so the possibility of breaking out at that time was still very high," Luo Lin continued.

Night Wind asked, "Then why didn't you break out together back then?"

Rowling immediately said with a serious expression, "How can the city lord of Luo Yun City flee without a fight? Moreover, Luo Yun City is the last foundation of our Luo family, so at that time I wanted to struggle a little longer and see if I could defend Luo Yun City under the attack of the Crimson Tail Beast."

“How foolish,” Night Wind said.

"The old master is right," Rowling nodded, a look of guilt on her face.

If she had made a decisive choice to break through back then, more people could have survived, instead of being reduced to such a small number.

But what's done is done, and there's no point in saying those things now.

Ye Feng then said, "In that case, let's rest here for the night and set off for Jiangxia City tomorrow."

"Our Luo Yun City has been attacked by the Crimson-Tailed Beast. Such a serious matter requires me to go to the capital to report to His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, His Majesty will surely send people to provide us with assistance."

"In the meantime, you shall stay in Jiangxia City and rely on its protection to survive. We shall discuss this further when I return."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Rowling immediately nodded in agreement.

That's actually what she thought too.

The maid had finished frying the food, and the pork chops were emitting a rich aroma.

"Ancestor, you eat..."

The maid came over carrying a frying pan and handed the pan, which contained pork chops, to Ye Feng.

"I won't eat, you guys eat. I've already stopped eating," Ye Feng said calmly.

Disappointment immediately appeared on the maid's face.

Seeing this, Luo Lin whispered, "Ancestor, you haven't tasted food for seven hundred years, have you? This is a small token of Xiao Tong's appreciation, so please try it. Besides, you are the backbone of all of us now, so you absolutely cannot fall down."

Since Rowling had said so, Night Breeze had no choice but to reluctantly try a piece.

Luo Xiaotong's cooking skills are really good. The pork chops were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.

"Your cooking skills are truly superb," ​​Ye Feng said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Feng's praise, Luo Xiaotong was overjoyed, her little face flushed with excitement.

Luo Lin and Luo Qing also tasted the pork chops that Luo Xiaotong had fried, while Zijing watched from the side, her mouth watering.
