Late at night in Skeleton City, the bright moon hiding behind the thin clouds and mist, like a beauty wearing a veil.

In the deserted desert outside the city, Luo You stood under a semi-withered ancient tree, stroked his fingers through the dry bark, and a gust of autumn wind blew, and the fallen leaves fell. He gently caught it in his hand, looking at the patterns on the dead leaves.

I remember when I was a child, Luo You heard a legend that if you could catch the autumn leaves before they fell to the ground and put them in your ears, it would tell you a story about autumn. He once believed it deeply. Every autumn, he would take Luo Wei to the tree, waiting for the autumn leaves to fall innocence so that he could catch them. It was a fairy tale that could not be returned and belonged to autumn.

Of course, this innocence gradually faded away as he grew older.

But at this time, Luo You silently put the fallen leaves in his hand to his ears like he did when he was a child, as if he was listening to its voice or his past.

"Wu." Just as Luo You listened to the sound of the wind blowing through the dead leaves, a girl's call came from behind.

Luo You was not surprised, but just raised it casually and let the fallen leaves leave with the wind. Then he silently said: "Has the matter in Fuxiao City been handled?"

Luo You half-kneeled behind him with a jade-faced fox in a white robe. The moonlight shone on her soft face, shining as flawless as jade. She nodded slightly and said, "After handling, the wine monk has been killed by me with a trick."

"It's done well, so that the people from the Ultra Family faction have been officially wiped out, and no one can investigate you anymore." Luo You stretched out his hand to the Jade-faced Fox and said softly, "You have proved your worth. Do you want to come to the stage? I can give you an identity so that you can stay by my side openly."

The jade-faced fox held Luo You's hand and raised his head. His amber eyes were full of love: "No, I'm willing to be behind you all the time."

Luo You nodded silently, and he gently held the Jade-faced Fox's little hand and asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"

The spirit fox is twin, and the yin and yang are moved. In order to make the wine monk go crazy, the jade-faced fox first uses the twin abilities that can only be used once in his life to create another self. Then he strips away the yin and yang force in his body, causing the wine monk to swallow the pure yang body by mistake.

Now, the body of the jade-faced fox is left with pure yin energy. The body without yang energy will be eternally wrapped in cold air, and its whole body will be cold. Not to mention now, the body of the jade-faced fox will always be cold in the future.

However, this was the first time that the Jade-faced Fox had not told the truth to Luo You, and it was the only time in her life. She smiled gently and said, "The road is strong, and I am very sad."

Luo You held the hand of the jade-faced fox, hugged her into his arms, used his body temperature to warm her, and asked softly: "Will this be better?"

The extreme Yin body means that you will never feel the warmth in this life. Just like at this time, the jade-faced fox cannot feel Luo You's body temperature at all, but she still closed her eyes with a smile and said softly: "It's much better."

After a moment, Luo You asked, "How is she?"

The jade-faced fox was still snuggling in Luo You's arms, closed his eyes and whispered: "She is very good and is waiting for your return."

"I understand." Luo You raised his head and looked at Wuya's night, as if he was staring at the person who was also watching the night, and said deeply, "I will fulfill the agreement the morning after tomorrow."

...

The next day, in the central square of Fuxiao City, the crowded residents of Fuxiao City gathered here. It was late autumn and the temperature was cold. However, such a huge crowd gathered to drive a fanatical atmosphere, which also increased the temperature on the scene. The rising sun even illuminated the sweat on their faces.

On the stage built in the central square, the independent elements leader with a fanatical expression opened his arms to the sea of ​​people below. This was a man wearing a federal flag and wearing a shabby autumn outfit, with a look of flames in his eyes. It was also the product left behind after the Great Purge of Dawn. He shouted: "Comrades in Dawn City! The day of freedom is coming! The killers of the empire persecuted us for so long, but I want to tell you that the will of freedom will never be shaken by killing! We yearn for a better life and look forward to a stronger country. We have the right to choose our identity! We have the right to choose our federal citizens!"

The crowds of sounds came from the boiling sea of ​​people below, and shouted in unison: "Independence! Independence! Independence!"

"In the three-year war that collapsed, the Empire forced our relatives and friends to go to the battlefield and treated them as the mouths of the war! Our parents were exhausted in the trucks that were hauling supplies, and our children became cannon fodder in the trenches! We lost our wives and children, and loved ones, just to stop the arrival of truth. We are all sinners..." The flames in the eyes of the independent leader disappeared, but then quickly ignited again. He pointed his finger at the sky above his head, accompanied by a fanatical voice as if to penetrate this sky, "But! The iron hoof of truth is unstoppable! The great Federation has arrived, they defeated the weak empire, dragged us back from the brink of hunger, gave us bread and honey, erected the wall of life, protected us from the invasion of ferocious beasts, and even built the great dawn arena, allowing us to find the meaning of life in that piece of blood and sand!"

"Our heart belongs to the Federation, and should also belong to the Federation, but now, the shameful empire is going to take away all this! They want to take over here, take away our delicacies, and replace it with white porridge with sand! They want to push down the wall of life, take away our land, and let us return to the wilderness full of ferocious beasts! They also want to demolish the Arena at dawn and take away our spiritual source!" The independent leader glared, his blood-stained eyes as if he was about to jump out of his eye sockets, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The great Federation will not allow all this to happen. Even if the vicious killers of the empire continue to massacre our compatriots, she can take away our lives, but cannot take away our hearts! Our will will never be extinguished!"

"Now! Tell me your true thoughts, let our voices penetrate the sky, penetrate the Grand Duke's Mansion, and let Grand Duke Yingweide hear our sincere cry!"

Among the crowd, the boiling sound spread like a tsunami: "The honor of the Federation is ashamed of the Empire!"

The independent leader raised his arm and was about to continue shouting when a change occurred.

"Boom!" A thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance of the central square, getting closer and closer, like a black cloud covering the city, accompanied by a majestic warning amplified through the loudspeaker: "According to the Dagong's law, residents at dawn, stop illegal gatherings immediately!"

Amid the screams of the crowd, a 40-man Grand Duke Guard team rode a tall horse, holding federal weapons, and directly broke into the central square of Dawn City with an impact formation. It was like a tsunami that destroyed the sky and the earth, scattering the gathering crowd in an instant. The people who were still in fanaticism avoided them and panicked.

The Grand Duke Guard used the impact of war horses to break out a way in the crowd. When he rushed to the stage, the captain of the guard suddenly grabbed the violent war horse, and the mount under him raised his legs and neighed. He stabilized his body with his skillful riding skills, pointed his gun at the independent leader on the stage, and said coldly: "Now, according to Article 19 of the "Co-governance Region Counter-Secession Law", I will arrest you on the spot for the crime of inciting the country's secession and take you to the Grand Duke Mansion for interrogation!"
