Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1220: Take it easy

Chapter 1220: Take it easy

That day, Fatty Xu recalled the terror of being dominated by [Southern Liang].

Zhang Yi watched as he went crazy, dancing and wailing while running away.

His eyes were full of sympathy, but even more so, a teasing smile, laughing so hard his stomach hurt.

Li Yangyang reached out as if wanting to stop the collapsing Fatty Xu, but in the end, he just let his hand drop dejectedly, his face full of despondency.

Zhang Yi suppressed his laughter, walked over, and said, "He doesn't seem to accept you that easily."

Li Yangyang shook his head with a bitter smile. "This really isn't something an ordinary person can accept."

But Zhang Yi smiled and encouraged him. "You have to believe in your bond! I think he just can't accept it for now, but you've been together for so long, your feelings are deep. He'll come around."

Li Yangyang let out a light sigh. "I hope so!"

Zhang Yi waved his hand to say goodbye. "I'll go help you ask him what he really thinks. This guy, why does he only think about running away when faced with a problem? He needs to face it bravely!"

Zhang Yi could barely hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth. He really wanted to see Fatty Xu's expression right now; it must be absolutely priceless.

So, Zhang Yi bid farewell to Li Yangyang and then chased after Fatty Xu in the direction he had fled.

After a good while, he found a distraught Fatty Xu behind a rockery.

He was squatting on the ground, hugging himself, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless. His eyes were vacant, and he was muttering something under his breath.

Zhang Yi moved closer to listen and heard him babbling:

"You have such a high-speed mechanical device entering the Huaxu Kingdom, remember the principle I gave you..."

"The entire area around the Huanglong River has Bluetooth..."

Zhang Yi immediately felt a bit nervous. "Fatty Xu, have you gone mad?"

Hearing Zhang Yi's voice, Fatty Xu looked up blankly.

Seeing it was Zhang Yi, he burst into loud wails.

"Boss! I was wrong, I was really wrong! I shouldn't have believed from the start that such a beautiful woman would like me. If I hadn't believed him, I wouldn't have been hurt so badly."

Zhang Yi comforted him. "Your main problem is you have no clue about your own looks. If you had even a little self-awareness, you wouldn't think such a beautiful woman would like you. Unless she wasn't a woman to begin with."

"It hurts, it hurts so much!"

Fatty Xu cried out in pain, now with snot and tears all over his face.

Zhang Yi took half a step back in disgust.

"You chose this path yourself. And besides, don't you Erciyuan folks all like femboys?"

Zhang Yi asked curiously.

Fatty Xu whined, "Boss, you don't understand. Watching femboys online is a pleasure, but encountering one in real life is a horror movie!"

Zhang Yi stifled a laugh. "Ahem, anyway, what I said still stands. As long as you nod, I'll go ask the Ksitigarbha King for him right away."

"You should think it over carefully. This opportunity won't come again. Aside from being a man, he's not lacking in any other aspect."

Zhang Yi patted Fatty Xu's shoulder, speaking in a consoling tone. "In life, the most important thing is to be happy. Sometimes, broaden your horizons a bit, don't be so particular, and you'll find life can be quite enjoyable."

Fatty Xu looked at Zhang Yi with tear-filled eyes. "Boss, it's easy for you to talk! Do you want a femboy then?"

Zhang Yi said lightly, "It's not like I don't have a wife. Why would I lower myself like that?"

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Fatty Xu hugged his head and wept bitterly.

Zhang Yi knew he needed peace and quiet. Having watched enough of the spectacle, he said:

"Anyway, think it over carefully yourself. We've pretty much dealt with the matters here in Shengjing, and we'll have to go back soon. Give me your answer before we leave."

Zhang Yi knew Fatty Xu was just temporarily overwhelmed by the blow, his thoughts in chaos.

But how he and Li Yangyang would get along in the future depended on his own will; Zhang Yi wasn't going to interfere.

If anything, Zhang Yi quite wanted to see them develop a special kind of relationship—this was also a bit of Zhang Yi's mischievous taste.

Fatty Xu's eyes were complex; he fell into deep thought.

It seemed he was really weighing his relationship with Li Yangyang.

After all, aside from not being a real woman, Li Yangyang was outstanding in every other aspect.

He shared common interests with him, genuinely liked him, unlike those technicians in Blizzard City who were just hypocritical towards him.

...

The next day, Zhang Yi and the others took a plane back to Shengjing.

On the way, Li Yangyang didn't approach Fatty Xu like before but stayed coldly with the Heavenly Champions team.

He didn't even glance towards Zhang Yi's group.

Clearly, he understood this matter was difficult for Fatty Xu, so he didn't press further, choosing instead to give Fatty Xu time to think.

This left Fatty Xu feeling somewhat lost and even more conflicted, the struggle on his face intensifying.

This scene made Zhang Yi and the others unable to hold back their laughter.

Even Old You teased Fatty Xu:

"Hahaha, Chunlei, as long as two people truly love each other, whether it's man and woman or whatever doesn't really matter."

"Besides, medical technology is so advanced now. If it doesn't work, can't one of you just get a sex change operation?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ke'er covered her mouth with a gentle laugh.

"But, if he could have the surgery, he probably would have done it long ago. Sex change operations aren't that hard to get now."

"But then, his unique attribute would be gone."

She said playfully, "The fun of a femboy is having a man's body with a woman's appearance. Isn't that right?"

Fatty Xu rubbed his hair vigorously, sighing long and hard, looking every bit the hopeless romantic failure.

Zhang Yi just watched the spectacle from the side. What he said was true; he would respect whatever choice Fatty Xu made.

After all, those watching a spectacle don't mind if the drama is big.

Not long after, they arrived at Shengjing City.

Qin Qigong and Shang Daowen personally came to welcome the group.

After the cabin door opened, Zhang Yi, Li Changgong, Han Shanzuo, and the other superhumans from the three major regions looked at the two high-ranking officials from Shengjing, their eyes cold and indifferent.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Qin Qigong kept smiling apologetically.

He then immediately arranged for them to hold a temporary high-level meeting.

Right from the start, the three of them, Zhang Yi and the others, held them accountable, accusing the Shengjing Region of withholding information from them.

Regarding this point, Qin Qigong's explanation was exactly the same as Zong Yue's, saying they hadn't known earlier that other groups existed underground, thinking it was just a treasure dug up by the Ground Centipedes.

Zhang Yi and the other two didn't believe it at all. How could the number one region of the Huaxu Kingdom, possessing the most powerful military force and the richest intelligence as the capital, do something so rash?

If they hadn't learned something in advance, why would they do something so outrageous?

Zhang Yi's right hand tapped on the table, his gaze burning as he stared at Qin Qigong.

"Marshal Qin, I have always respected you. But this time, you almost got us killed underground. We cannot easily forgive this matter!"
