This Overlord Doesn't Care About Anything

Book 3: Chapter 31: News Has Reached Zhao Chen Territory

Fang Thirteen? Herbal medicine?

I frowned and momentarily couldnt understand the reason she was acting this way.

But one thing that I did know was that I absolutely couldnt expose my identity at this time. Otherwise, I would have no other choice but to kill her to silence her in order to prevent innumerable troubles coming for me.

Fortunately, Aleya and I were currently covered in bloodstains and both of us had dishevelled hair. She hadnt even seen us and even if she did, she might not necessarily recognize us. I pondered a little longer before changing my voice:

So it was Fang Thirteens maid, sorry for being disrespectful. The two of us are a couple living in West-Resisting City who depend on killing Demons to make a living. Because most of the Demons in the surroundings of the city were already killed off, we had no other choice but to walk northwestwards. We didnt expect that we would accidentally enter Zhao Chen Territory.

I cupped my hands towards her and said:

For frightening you, we are extremely apologetic. The two of us usually dont care much about our appearances, weve always looked like this. We didnt have any plans to murder for money, we will be leaving now.

After I finished my piece, I said to Aleya:

Little Ya, lets go.

Aleya replied very cooperatively:

Yes, you-husband.

I dont know if it was my misperception, but Aleya seemed to have moved away her line of sight unnaturally.

With the two of us putting on such an act, Tila actually felt very embarrassed. She hastily stood up from the ground and rushed to give us a bow, blurting:

Please, please wait! I didnt mean thatthank both of you for saving me, really! If it wasnt for you two, I would probably already

I deliberately remarked:

But we are West-Resisting Citys people, a place that Miss Fang Thirteen is hostile to. Otherwisesigh.

Tila ran over to hold mine and Aleyas hands as she responded:

No problem. West-Resisting City isnt full of bad people, Im very clear on this point. Just now I was just a little scared

Seeing her pull us, I gave Aleya a meaningful glance and the three of us searched for a relatively smooth rock to sit on.

Tila told us about why the situation from before happened in a panicked state.

It turns out that she originally was a servant under Fang Thirteens residence and followed soldiers into the Demon Race Territory to pick herbs for domestic subsidization. The situation happened because she was unwilling to give up on some medicinal ingredients that grew in a remote area and had wandered off from the large force. By the time she came back to her senses, she found that she was the only one remaining. Left with no other choice, she carried the medicine basket as she continuously walked eastwards. Never would she have thought that she would encounter a powerfulDemon Wolfgeneral. Without an army to protect her, how could a little girl resist a Demon Wolf? So the only option left to her was shouting for help as she ran away, then coincidentally meeting us.

Seeing me sigh several times, Tila carefully inquired:

You twowant to come settle down in Sky Star City?

Sky Star City is the city that Fang Thirteen and Fang Lita live in.

I shook my head and stated with pretended regret:

Forget it. Our West-Resisting City and your Sky Star City wont ever have friendly relations. Otherwise we wouldnt

I purposefully stopped speaking. In response, Tila asked:

Is it because Sky Star City wont accept West-Resisting Citys people?

I sighed again.

Actually, this wasnt any secret. Before I even came to West-Resisting City, West-Resisting City was already a mess internally and externally. The reason why the people living inside the city havent all run is because theres no place that wants to accept them. In the east, Li Neng would use them as pawns. In the north, Zhao Chen and Yunyang had a feud going on between them. In the south, Yun Hai wouldnt receive residents without any profits.

Therefore, I pretended to be a hunter within West-Resisting City without a place to go. This was an identity that was perfectly logical.

Tila said dolefully:

Sister Thirteen once said. If we could accept West-Resisting Citys people into our own, then it would be a good thing for both sides. But unfortunately young master Lita disagrees with this. But, but! If you two can come to Sky Star City, then sister Thirteen will definitely be very happy.

I forced a smile:

Let it be. Its unlikely that theyll allow us to go in.

Tila became fired up as she pulled my hand and pleaded:

You can give it a try! Sister Thirteen has recently been very distressed

She suddenly covered her mouth and her eyes darted back and forth before she continued:

Anyway, you two should give it a try!

I shook my head and responded:

I know your meaning. My wife and I are a little strong and can help out a little in the army. But it is exactly because of this that we cant go. On one hand, we dont know if its a trap or not. On the other, all of our family lives in West-Resisting City. This time, we just came here by accident and werent really seeking refuge. If we do so without careful consideration, then even if Miss Fang Thirteen is willing to offer us shelter, that West-Resisting Citys City Lord wont left off our family. Hes a devil!

Tilas hand fell down.

She lowered her head and whispered:

SorryI was too eager. But havent you heard the recent rumors? Its said that the Overlord of Yunyang wants to sever his father and son relationship with West-Resisting Citys City Lord and theres news that emissaries are on the road. When the time comes that West-Resisting Citys City Lord loses his backing, then it will definitely be even more impossible for him to let you two leave.

I stared in shock:

The Overlord of Yunyang wants to sever his father and son relationship with West-Resisting Citys City Lord? Who says? Is the news reliable?

Tila nodded.

I knit my brows and didnt show anything on my face, instead tell her some comforting words:

Its all right. You were doing it for Miss Fang Thirteen. When theres an opportunity, Ill bring my family to Sky Star City, so please be sure to offer us shelter at that time.

Tila replied with a smile:

Mm! Ill tell sister Thirteen!

I seized the opportunity to casually ask:

These herbal medicinescould it be that Miss Fang Thirteen is sick?

Tila shook her head and confessed:

Its not sister Thirteen. Itsforget it. I cant speak any more or else Ill be scolded when I return. Really, thank you two so much. If theres an opportunity, you guys can come to Sky Star City, sister Thirteen will definitely welcome you!
