In the forest, a bonfire was burning and roasted meat was rolling on top of it. The fragrant oil dripped down and fell into the bonfire, creating a flame.
Beside the bonfire, a little girl dressed in white was staring at the roasted meat with her big black eyes. Her little mouth was constantly swallowing saliva. At this moment, her attention was completely attracted by the roasted meat. As for the two people beside her, they were temporarily forgotten by her.
"Cough."
Mu Chen looked at the little girl and could not help but let out a cough. Ever since he saved the little girl from the Flame Leopards, she had not said a word. After a long while, she finally said to Mu Chen with a stutter: "I'm hungry."
Mu Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He had no choice but to roast the Flame Leopards. Although his cooking skill was not as good as Luo Li's, it was still much better than Mo Ling's.
When the little girl, who was focused on the roasted meat, heard Mu Chen's cough, she lifted her head in a daze.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Mu Chen smiled at the little girl and asked.
"You're all bad people. Big sister said that I can't tell others my name."
The little girl's mouth twitched. She still remembered how Mu Chen and the rest had stood there and watched her being chased by the Flame Leopard. None of them wanted to help her. In her view, they were already on the verge of being classified as bad people. If it wasn't for the fact that she was so hungry, she would definitely ignore them.
Mu Chen raised his brows as he lifted the roasted meat and was about to throw it away. The little girl instantly became anxious as her eyes turned watery. It was as if she was complaining about Mu Chen's heinous act of not allowing her to eat.
However, Mu Chen was unmoved.
He only looked at her with a smile.
"My name is Sun 'er." The little girl finally could not stand Mu Chen. Her little nose twitched as she said with grievance.
"How old are you?"
"Fourteen years old." Under the threat of the roasted meat, the little girl could only answer honestly.
A look of surprise flashed across Mu Chen's eyes.
Fourteen years old?
How could he be qualified for Hokuang Reiwon at such a young age?
Isn't this a little too powerful?
Moreover, Mu Chen glanced at the little girl's fair forehead. There was a dark red mark there. It was a Level 3 mark.
In other words, the little girl had not obtained an ordinary quota.
He was a seeded candidate just like him.
"Winning the seeded spot of Hokuang Reiwon at the age of 14?
Does your family have a lot of connections in Hokuang Reiwon?
Your strength is the same as mine, only at the Spiritual Rotation Stage Middle Stage. How can you obtain a seeded entry? "
Mo Ling could not help but ask. He felt very unbalanced in his heart. Compared to the little girl in front of him, he felt ashamed.
"Nonsense!" The little girl was instantly displeased when she heard this, and she said, "You're no match for me."
"Then why would the seeded candidate be chased by the Flame Leopards?" Mo Ling asked suspiciously.
"That's because I'm hungry." This reason made the little girl blush.
Then, she scratched her long ponytails.
Embarrassed, she said, "Also, I'm a Spiritual Array Master.
They came too fast and scared me. I panicked and couldn't arrange a Spiritual Array. "
"Spiritual Array Master?"
Mu Chen and Mo Ling were both shocked.
The latter stared suspiciously at the little girl named Sun 'Er. His face was filled with disbelief.
"I'm not lying to you!" Sun 'Er saw the doubt on Mu Chen and Mo Ling's faces.
In an instant of anxiousness, she extended her small hand out. Rays of light flashed on her slender fingertips. As the air fluctuated, a green Spiritual Array condensed in front of her. Powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations instantly radiated out.
"This …"
Mo Ling was dumbfounded. He felt a sense of oppression from the Spiritual Array. The Spiritual Energy fluctuation was definitely enough to defeat a Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Stage person. Moreover, this Spiritual Array was something that the little girl could easily set up.
"Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master."
Mu Chen's eyes also focused at this moment. The power of this Spiritual Array was not any weaker than his "Devouring Tiger Blaze Array". It was considered pretty good among Rank 1 Spiritual Arrays. Sun 'Er was able to arrange it so easily. It was obvious that she had surpassed Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master. Moreover, when she was arranging the Spiritual Array, Mu Chen felt a familiar feeling.
Heart Array State.
At this moment, his heart was undoubtedly a little shaken. The little girl in front of him was actually a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master. Moreover, she had the same Heart Array State as him.
In other words, she also possessed astonishing talent in the cultivation of Spiritual Arrays.
Furthermore, Mu Chen was able to sense that Sun 'Er should have received a more complete training in Spiritual Arrays, which was much better than him, who had only learned it halfway. At the very least, although he could be considered as a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master, the number of Spiritual Arrays that he could take out was truly too little.
At this moment, Mu Chen finally understood why she was able to obtain a seeded entry, and was recruited by Hokuang Reiwon at such a young age.
Thinking about this, he could not help but sigh. This Hokuang Reiwon was truly a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. This was only a test for the freshmen, and they were already able to meet so many formidable characters.
"Here," said Mu Chen with a smile as he handed the roasted meat in his hand to the little girl, who was already drooling with desire.
"Thank you big brother."
Su 'Er's big jet-black eyes instantly sparkled. However, the little girl still politely expressed her thanks, before receiving the roasted meat. Without caring about her image, she started to wolf it down.
Looking at the pure and innocent little girl in front of him with her long ponytails brimming with vitality, Mu Chen could not help but smile.
The little girl's figure was small, but her appetite was unexpectedly big. She quickly devoured the roasted meat like a tornado. Then, she blinked her big eyes and blushed as she looked at Mu Chen and said: "I'm still hungry."
Mu Chen was speechless. He bitterly smiled and said: "How long has it been since you last ate?"
"Two days."
The little girl seemed especially wronged when she mentioned this. She said: "I also brought a lot of food. However, I met a little Spiritual Beast two days ago, so I fed it a lot. I don't know how to cook, so I've been hungry since then."
Mu Chen and Mo Ling looked at each other and felt like laughing. This Hokuang Reiwon's test was an extremely serious place. Why did such a weirdo run into it?
Mu Chen shook his head. He took some ingredients from the side and placed them on the rack again.
"Big brother, you're so nice. What are your names?"
Seeing that Mu Chen was going to prepare food for her again, Sun 'Er's impression of him immediately soared. She asked with a clear and pure voice.
"I'm Mu Chen and he's Mo Ling. We came from the same Spiritual Academy."
Mu Chen smiled and immediately said: "I heard you say that you have a sister in this Northern Heavens World?"
"Mhmm."
Sun 'Er nodded her head and rubbed her stomach: "However, we were separated. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been hungry. Also, if I followed my sister, I wouldn't have been bullied by those hateful things."
Speaking of her sister, the little girl seemed to be a bit proud. Her two ponytails were raised.
"Is your sister very powerful?" Mo Ling asked curiously.
"My sister participated in the Spiritual Road." Sun 'Er said proudly.
Mo Ling was surprised. Participated in the Spiritual Road?
That was not a simple person.
"Brother Mu, you might even know her." Mo Ling looked at Mu Chen and smiled.
"I don't think so. The Spiritual Road is very big. Furthermore, I came out a year earlier. How could everyone know me?" Mu Chen shook his head.
"Big brother Mu Chen, you also went to the Spiritual Road?
Isn't that very powerful?
Back then, I also obtained the qualifications to enter the Spiritual Road. However, my mother said that I was too young and did not allow me to go. "Sun 'Er said with a bit of pity.
"You also obtained the qualifications?"
Mo Ling was speechless. He looked at Sun 'Er as if he was looking at a monster. Just where did this little girl come from? Within the entire Northern Spiritual Realm, only Mu Chen obtained the qualifications to enter the Spiritual Road.
Mu Chen was not surprised. Sun 'Er seemed to have a very high talent in Spiritual Arrays. In terms of combat strength, she might be able to fight against a Spirit Stage Initial Phase powerhouse. However, her experience was still very young.
"It's good that you didn't go. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the current you."
Hearing those words, Mu Chen gave a faint smile. He was clear about the cruelty of the Spiritual Road. Indeed, it was a good place to temper people. However, to the pure and innocent Su 'er, it wasn't a good place to go. If she were to go there, she might not have such a pure and innocent character. Truthfully speaking, people wouldn't be able to differentiate whether it was a gain or a loss.
"Here."
Mu Chen passed the roasted meat in his hand to Sun 'Er. He had quite a good impression of this little girl's innocence.
Sun 'Er excitedly received it and devoured it again.
The little girl's appetite was very big. Mu Chen had almost finished roasting the entire Flame Leopard before she wiped her mouth in satisfaction. This caused Mu Chen and Mo Ling to look at her small body. They really did not know where she stored all the food she ate.
"Big brother Mu Chen."
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Sun 'Er's big black eyes suddenly looked at Mu Chen. She hesitated and said: "Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Hmm?" Mu Chen looked at her.
"Can you bring me to my sister?
She should also be in this area. I have a spirit compass, so I can find her. "Sun 'er touched the red mark on her smooth forehead and said in a low voice," Someone wanted to steal this from me, causing me to hide whenever I saw anyone for the past two days! If I go looking for my sister by myself, what if I get lost? I'll starve again! "
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled. Sun 'er possessing a Rank 3 Symbol was indeed very eye-catching. Coupled with her age and pure personality, she might not be able to walk far before her symbol would be swindled away by others.
"Big brother Mu Chen, you're a good person. Please help me. When I find my sister, I will definitely let her thank you properly."
Sun 'Er begged. Along the way, Mu Chen was the first person that did not steal her mark and even gave her delicious food.
Looking at the little girl's pleading eyes, Mu Chen smiled. The majority of the people in the Northern Heavens World had the same goal. Therefore, their route would also be the same. This kind of help was not troublesome at all. He immediately smiled and nodded his head.
With such a strange little girl following him, it should be a lot more enjoyable along the way.
