He Zhanyuan immediately sat up straight.

"Actually, I really have to thank Xiaoxi for being able to live to cook for everyone and fight alongside them."

Everyone noticed that he had changed how he addressed Xiaoxi, and they saw him stand up at attention and give Xiaoxi a military salute.

Xiaoxi quickly stood up and returned the salute.

She was, after all, a major general.

But seeing He Zhanyuan dressed in a Taoist robe and wearing an apron from [Tai Tai Xian Chicken Essence], looking so serious, Xiao Xi couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Just tell me already, no need for all this formalities."

It turned out that when the child soldier threw the grenade, Xiaoxi knew she was in trouble, so she immediately released her Divine Step to break out of the barrier.

This happened at the same moment that Yuhe Zhanyuan kicked away the grenade.

At that moment, the grenade exploded, and if it weren't for the barrier, He Zhanyuan would have been blown to pieces.

He only suffered minor scrapes.

The interaction between the barrier and the grenade explosion sent him flying into the swamp. Before he even hit the ground, Xiao Xi took him into her house and put him into the aerial pavilion.

Xiao Xi had no choice but to release the castle in the air ahead of time, fearing that He Zhanyuan would be afraid because it was too dark inside her brocade pouch.

Besides, Xiaoxi felt uneasy about having a man in her bag.

He Zhanyuan woke up quickly. He saw that all he could see outside the window were floating clouds and thought he had died.

Suddenly he heard Xiaoxi's voice.

"He Zhanyuan, don't panic, and don't overthink things. You're not dead; I saved you!"

This is my ivory tower; it's been uninhabited for almost two months. Take a look around; there are my brother's clothes in the room.

The bathroom and all the other facilities are complete. I'll bring the team leader and the others over tonight. You can prepare dinner and wait for us.

Thus, He Zhanyuan gradually calmed down after his initial shock.

He actually pulled out Xiong Da's Taoist robe, and at the time he was thinking: How come Brother Xiaoxi is a Taoist? And he's so broad-shouldered and burly?

Then He Zhanyuan took a relaxing bath, then started cleaning. Seeing that it was still early, he began preparing to cook.

That's how it happened; He Zhanyuan recounted the details clearly.

From the moment they first met Xiaoxi until now, only a full day has passed, and Tu Lang and the others have come to realize that this world can actually be fantastical.

The captain was so blind; how could he mistake a treasure for a weed? He almost made everyone miss the opportunity to meet a master.

Luo Feng, the captain whom the four members of the Wolf Slayers had been complaining about, had already stood up.

"Xiaoxi, thank you for saving He Zhanyuan."

Thank you for teaching me a lesson. There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. I truly understand this now.

I take back what I said before. I'm sorry.

These were his heartfelt words, and Xiaoxi could sense them.

All five members of the Wolf Slayer Team stood up and looked at Xiaoxi earnestly.

Judging from their posture, if Xiaoxi didn't express her opinion, they would remain in this stalemate, and their serious attitude even led them to salute together.

"No, no, no, that's too cheesy! We're all in the same boat!"

Oh no, no, no, we're all living in castles in the air!

Oh dear, it's hard to say..."

Xiaoxi's laughter made everyone laugh, and the sound of laughter echoed in the sky for a long time.

I'm afraid everyone will still have to apologize, thank me, and salute.

Xiaoxi quickly laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's let bygones be bygones, we're all good brothers!"

Deng Yuan, who was not talkative, suddenly stood up again.

"Now I know why Xiaoxi is a major general. She is a major general in the secret department of metaphysics, and she deserves it."

Everyone thought Deng Yuan's concluding remarks were very well done.

Then he said, "Look, the vegetables and fish from two months ago taste just like they were bought from the market today! Isn't that amazing?"

Everyone's faces turned green: Could it be that what they ate was fake? Or that they didn't actually eat anything? Or that it was all already rotten?

"If you can't speak, then shut up!" Luo Feng cursed.

"Hahaha, everyone is overthinking it."
