At night, the roars of beasts could be heard in Purple Maple Valley, and from time to time, black shadows could be seen moving about.
In front of a mountain wall, a pile of fire was burning dry branches, making crackling sounds.
A large piece of beast meat was placed on the fire, and waves of meat fragrance wafted into the distance.
"Come, the meat is ready," Ling Xiao called out to Hua Xiaogui and Wu Sixue, who were sitting at the side.
"Boss, I've waited for so long, I'm starving," Hua Xiaogui jumped up and rubbed her stomach.
Ling Xiao cut two pieces of beast meat, wrapped them in leaves, and put them in Hua Xiaogui's hands. Then, he glanced at Wu Sixue, indicating that he should bring it over.
Hua Xiaogui was overjoyed, and after a moment of hesitation, she took the beast meat shyly like a young girl, and walked over to Wu Sixue, her heart filled with gratitude!
So Boss was really thinking for me.
"Xiao … Xiao Xue, come, this is the meat Boss roasted, it smells very good, come try it," Hua Xiaogui handed the meat to Wu Sixue and said shyly.
This was the first time in his life that he was moved by a girl, and ever since he saw Wu Sixue, his mind was filled with her figure.
However, he was not an idiot, and it was obvious that Wu Sixue liked Ling Xiao.
He thought he could be very open, but every time he saw her, he would feel nervous, and his heart would beat fast.
"Thank you," Wu Sixue smiled at him, took the meat, and glanced at the figure not far away.
"Ling Xiao, come sit here!" Wu Sixue waved at Ling Xiao.
This made Hua Xiaogui's heart full of bitterness.
"Alright," Ling Xiao replied, took all the beast meat from the tree, and then sat next to Hua Xiaogui, not daring to sit next to Wu Sixue.
He knew that this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, if that lass were to fall deep into the mud, he would be letting Little Turtle down.
Who knew that as soon as he sat down, Wu Sixue went around Hua Xiaogui and sat next to Ling Xiao.
"That … Xiao Xue, can you sit a bit further away, I'm sweating all over, this …" Ling Xiao said awkwardly.
"It's fine," Wu Sixue blushed slightly, and then moved closer to Ling Xiao.
"It's fine," Wu Sixue blushed slightly, and moved closer to Ling Xiao.
"Boss, I … I'll go take a walk," said Hua Xiaogui. She put down the meat and disappeared into the darkness.
"Boss, I … I'll go for a walk," Ling Xiao said.
After thinking about it, Ling Xiao decided that it was better to get the pain over with than to prolong it. He decided to explain everything to her. It was not a good idea to continue like this. Besides, he still had to earn points.
He didn't come all the way to the Purple Heaven Sect to play around. If he wanted to surpass "her" in a short period of time, he would definitely have to reduce his stamina and concentrate on cultivating.
"Xiao Xue, there are some things I have to make clear to you," Ling Xiao said to Wu Sixue without blinking.
Wu Sixue looked at Ling Xiao calmly and replied, "Go ahead."
"Let me tell you a story." Ling Xiao said seriously. He then looked up at the sky and recalled, "There was a handsome man and a beautiful woman who fell into an abyss. It was dark there, and the woman was a Spirit Master. However, because she used a forbidden technique, she lost all of her spiritual energy. The man, who was only a high level Xuan Qi Practitioner, was seriously injured in order to save the woman …"
Ling Xiao used a calm tone to recount his encounter with Yun Mengqi in the abyss. He only left out the parts that needed to be left out, such as the Space Ring, the prodigal son … and other glorious deeds.
Wu Sixue listened to Ling Xiao's magnetic voice slowly narrate the story, as if he was telling a poignant love story, and her eyes couldn't help but become misty.
She only felt that the man inside was willing to do anything for the woman. If it was her, she would even be willing to marry him.
"Did the man and the woman get together?" Wu Sixue rubbed her eyes and asked.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, "They didn't get together. After the woman recovered her strength, she resolutely separated from the man because she felt that it was unrealistic to be with him. After all, she had a very powerful force behind her, and the man was only a young master from a family in a backward city. Moreover, the difference in strength between the two was too great. One was already a Spirit Master, and the other was only a high level Profound Practitioner."
"It's not easy to find a man who is willing to give up everything for you. If it was me, I wouldn't care so much, I would definitely be with him." Wu Sixue waved her small fist and said angrily.
Ling Xiao continued, "Originally, the man also thought that the woman was very heartless, but before she left, she told him about her sect. If he really liked her, then he hoped that one day he could go to her sect and display his strength to surpass her. That way, she could be with him."
"So that's how it is. But I feel that the man is really pitiful. That woman is already a Spirit Master, and Tenbin is very high. For the man to surpass her is obviously not very possible." Wu Sixue suddenly understood.
"No, the man was very confident. He believed that one day he would be able to surpass her, and at that time, he would be able to be with her openly. So he went through many hardships and dangers and traveled thousands of miles to find the woman's sect. He decided that he would definitely join her sect and fulfill the promise from back then." Ling Xiao's eyes shone brightly as he spoke.
Wu Sixue wasn't a brainless person. Seeing Ling Xiao's strange expression, her heart trembled and she couldn't help but ask, "That … that man was?"
"That's right, that man was me." Ling Xiao nodded and admitted to Wu Sixue.
Wu Sixue's mouth was wide open and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Xiao Xue, I don't want to lie to you. Actually, the one who really likes you is Little Turtle." Ling Xiao gazed at Wu Sixue and spoke sincerely.
Although Wu Sixue was a girl who was not inferior to Bai Yuxi or Luo Qingshuang, he didn't have any feelings for her. Furthermore, she was a woman that Hua Xiaogui liked. Otherwise, he would have accepted her. However, he couldn't bully a friend's wife. Although she didn't like Little Turtle, he definitely couldn't hurt his brotherly relationship with Hua Xiaogui for a woman.
"No … That day, you clearly said in front of everyone that you liked me." Wu Sixue shook her head in disbelief.
"That day … was just a misunderstanding, I …" Ling Xiao explained.
"No … I don't want to hear it. The one I like is you." Wu Sixue covered her ears and didn't want to accept the reality.
Then, she threw herself into Ling Xiao's arms and cried, "Ling Xiao, the person I like is you."
Ling Xiao's heart broke when he heard Wu Sixue's crying.
No matter how ruthless he was to his enemies, he didn't care about beautiful women at all.
He gritted his teeth and pushed Wu Sixue away. "I already have her. I can't hurt you and Little Turtle anymore."
Wu Sixue's beautiful eyes were filled with endless grievances. She didn't expect that she would be rejected so mercilessly when she had just fallen in love with a man.
"Ling Xiao, I hate you!" Wu Sixue gritted her teeth and shouted at Ling Xiao. She covered her face and ran into the dense forest.
"Sigh, being handsome is also a sin!" Ling Xiao sighed heavily.
"Boss, what did you do to Xiaoxue?" Hua Xiaogui ran out of the darkness and asked.
"What can I do? I just explained to her clearly. She can't stand it anymore and ran away. You go after her quickly. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on you." Ling Xiao said impatiently.
"Then … then I'll go. Where did she run to?" Hua Xiaogui asked.
"That way. Go quickly. Don't let anything happen to her." Ling Xiao pointed in the direction that Wu Sixue ran.
As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, Hua Xiaogui began to run in Wu Sixue's direction with all her strength.
"Little Turtle, I wish you good luck. If you can't do it, don't blame me." Ling Xiao said lightly and slowly followed behind.
He was worried about Wu Sixue and Hua Xiaogui. One was a middle level mystic cultivator, and the other was a middle level mystic cultivator. In this dangerous valley, if something happened to them, it would be troublesome. He didn't think that those deacons would be able to arrive in time.
…
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed. Hua Xiaogui followed behind Wu Sixue like a sticky candy.
Wu Sixue was a middle level mystic cultivator. If she wanted to avoid Hua Xiaogui, Hua Xiaogui wouldn't be able to catch up.
The reason why she slowed down was because she was afraid that Hua Xiaogui would be in danger. However, she didn't notice that Ling Xiao was following. She hated Ling Xiao to the core.
Along the way, Wu Sixue treated the spirit beasts like deflating bags. Some low level spirit beasts were killed by her.
It was undeniable that a woman who hated because of love was really scary.
Hua Xiaogui rarely ran out to play the hero because he knew that his strength was limited. If he ran out, not only would he not be able to help her, he would also become her burden.
Therefore, he collected some spirit herbs along the way. In two days, he found more than ten stalks of first level high level spirit herbs and one stalk of second level low level spirit herb. The harvest wasn't too bad.
"Can you stop following me? I hate you!" Wu Sixue turned her head and shouted at Hua Xiaogui.
In her eyes, Hua Xiaogui didn't have any aura of an expert. He was short and weak. Even Xiahou Shi was several times better than him. She really couldn't feel anything. Her mind was filled with Ling Xiao's figure.
"Xiao Xue, I … I was afraid that you would feel lonely by yourself," Hua Xiaogui said shyly, but his heart was full of bitterness.
"I don't need you to care. Look at you. Even the words you say are so soft and weak. You don't have any manly spirit. How are you worthy of me, Wu Sixue?" Wu Sixue's emotions were extremely irritable. She didn't care about Hua Xiaogui's feelings at all and said directly.
Hua Xiaogui was said to be worthless by her. He felt even more upset in his heart.
"Alright, I'll go. You … you have to be careful by yourself," Hua Xiaogui said softly with his head slightly lowered. He turned around and really wanted to leave.
Just as he took a few steps, he heard Wu Sixue's scream.
He turned around to look. His pupils dilated and the hair on his body stood up.
He saw a purple python as thick as a person propped up more than half of its body. It opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Wu Sixue.
It was actually a second level middle level Purple Phosphorus Python. It was seven meters long and belonged to the metal attribute.
