Ying Fan glanced around, his sharp gaze piercing through the thoughts of everyone present.
He understood their worries and their fears.
But what does this have to do with him?
He only wanted to be with Nian Nian, through life and death.
Besides, Niannian's support abilities are so strong that with her help, he can completely become a sub-player machine that is commanded.
“I understand everyone’s concerns and worries, but I want to tell you that my wife is the main force in this battle, and I am just her support.”
Ying Fan was lying through his teeth, not caring whether others believed him or not; he was determined to be Xu Nian's henchman.
"Nonsense, utterly nonsense, Ying Fan, Commander Wu really misjudged you."
"She's just a woman who can't have children, what right does she have to dominate this battle?"
"Commander Ying, please think twice. Don't let lust cloud your judgment and make you treat the lives of all the people of Xingluo Kingdom as a joke."
"..."
"..."
Various protests continued to rise. Xu Nian listened to these people's voices and looked at their indignant expressions, feeling truly puzzled.
With a formidable enemy at hand, these people aren't thinking about how to deal with the Fish-Bird King; instead, they're trying to deal with her.
Didn't they see that the Fish-Bird King had already flown over?
They stopped outside the city wall and watched them with wise eyes, eager to see what would happen!
"Yingfan, don't talk to them so much. Prejudice can't be changed in a few words." Xu Nian didn't want to argue with anyone, mainly because she knew that arguing would be useless.
Some consensuses are already ingrained in our bones.
She only talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk, which will only make her a laughing stock.
"Ying Fan, has your mental strength broken through to SSS level?" Xu Nian sized up the Fish-Bird King who was watching the show. Perhaps noticing her gaze, the Fish-Bird King also looked over at Xu Nian.
It tilted its head at her, and to Xu Nian's surprise, the Fish-Bird King revealed a strange smile.
A mournful laugh emanated from the Fish-Bird King, its deafening sound spreading outwards.
Even though Ying Fan covered Xu Nian's ears in time, she still felt dizzy and lightheaded from listening.
Seeing that these weak humans were stunned by his laughter, the Fish-Bird King flapped his huge wings with boredom.
Facing the direction where Xu Nian was, it suddenly pointed its right wing downwards, its eyes filled with a defiant light.
"Sizzle!" The Fish-Bird King's mockery was so obvious that anyone could understand it.
Immediately, everyone forgot about Xu Nian's fate and instead glared at the Fish-Bird King with eyes blazing with fury.
They are the ones who usually kill, insult, and look down on fish and birds.
When did it become the fish and birds' turn to look down on them?
A fight was about to break out, and Yingfan took the initiative to strike first.
Once the first person used their mental power, countless others followed suit.
Seeing that Ying Fan had used his mental power, Xu Nian immediately became alert and prepared.
Her gaze was fixed on the Fish-Bird King. She saw it cast a massive mental shield around itself, blocking the mental attacks from everyone, and still had the energy to look at her mockingly. A chill ran through her.
This fish-bird king seems to be even more powerful than the one from ten years ago.
Not only Xu Nian felt it, but everyone who used their mental power to attack the Fish-Bird King also felt it.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all looked at Ying Fan in unison.
At that moment, he became the pillar of support for everyone.
With high expectations placed upon him, Yingfan could not show any fear or change in expression; all he could do was fight.
He continuously unleashed his mental power, and in just a few moments, he shattered the Fish-Bird King's mental shield.
The shield breaking means that the human side can now use their mental power to attack the Fish-Bird King.
Just when everyone saw hope, the Fish-Bird King calmly donned an even stronger shield for himself.
The sturdy shield silenced the eager crowd on the battlefield.
"Damn, is this Fish-Bird King a turtle? It's stacking shields on and on, how come it's more afraid of dying than me?"
No one knows who uttered that curse, but suddenly the muttering of scorn and condemnation intensified.
Despite their own volatile temper, the Fish-Bird King remained an observer.
Rather than watching the spectacle, it's more accurate to say they were making a fool of everyone.
Ying Fan withdrew his mental energy, frowned, and began to think about a battle plan.
If the Fish-Bird King continues to defend itself like this, it will wear everyone down. We need to find a way to provoke it and make it come out of its turtle shell.
"Have someone go to the kitchen and call Zhang Yi, the kitchen manager, and tell him to bring the pot for the braised fish and birds as well," Ying Fan instructed the people around him.
Watching the man leave in a hurry, Xu Nian understood Ying Fan's intention, and she gave him a thumbs up.
In front of the Fish-Bird King, he braised the Fish-Bird and shared it with everyone. I wonder if this tactic of provoking him works?
However, this move can easily cause the Fish-Bird King to go berserk.
Zhang Yi brought his pot to the city wall and looked at Ying Fan, puzzled.
What's the meaning of asking him to bring the pot over when he's currently battling the Fish Bird King?
"Old Zhang, heat the oil in the wok over high heat." Ying Fan's words, "Old Zhang," made Zhang Yi's face contort.
He jumped up, pointed at Ying Fan's nose, and cursed, "You little brat, how dare you call me Old Zhang?"
After scolding Zhang Yi, he turned his hand and did the work as Ying Fan instructed. He wanted to see what kind of bad idea this brat was up to.
Seeing that Zhang Yi was ready, Xu Nian was about to catch the fish and birds when Ying Fan stopped her.
"Niannian, I'll handle the aggro-generating stuff. You just need to control the situation for me." Ying Fan smiled slightly and used his mental power to scoop up the fish and birds, instantly scooping seven or eight of them onto the city wall.
Just as the Fish-Bird King was wondering what these humans wanted to do with its people, it saw Ying Fan raise his knife and bring down its head, leaving its people dead.
Even more cruelly, he divided his people into several parts and threw them into a pot to boil in front of him.
In just a moment, a strange aroma wafted from the pot.
And that human fished out its people and ate them right in front of it!
He devoured its people!
The Fish-Bird King opened its eyes wide in terror and let out a mournful cry.
A human, right in front of it, cooked and ate its people!
A blatant act of contempt; that damned human was challenging its authority, and it would not tolerate it.
The Fish-Bird King went berserk, its gaze fixed on Ying Fan with nothing but hatred.
It wants to kill this human.
It will tear him to pieces.
It also wanted to snatch the pot that was emitting a strange aroma.
The Fish-Bird King's goal was clear: it set its sights on Ying Fan, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy towards him.
"Turning black and white upside down." Xu Nian seized the opportunity to use her auxiliary ability to directly steal the Fish-Bird King's mental attack.
"???" The Fish-Bird King was dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the mental attack he had just used crashed into him.
After being attacked by its own mental energy, the Fish-Bird King shook its head, racking its brains but still unable to figure out what went wrong.
