"Senior Sister, I... previously checked your injuries, but I can’t heal them," Chen Xiao silently deliberated for quite a while before deciding to be honest with Leng Baiyu.
"I know." Leng Baiyu smiled bitterly, "Damage to the essence is not sothing that can be restored so easily. But at this point, worrying is futile; perhaps the master has a solution," she ntioned softly.
As she spoke,
she tossed a thumb-sized box over, "This is the item you wanted."
Chen Xiao tightly grasped the box and opened it, revealing a dazzling pearl inside.
The small pearl inside emitted a faint moon-white radiance mixed with azure hues, resembling condensations of a beauty’s tears.
rmaid’s Tears!!!
The sixth rare treasure he needed!
Chen Xiao was thrilled.
Pausing for a mont, he curiously asked, "Senior Sister, you’ve drifted over thousands of miles at sea, where did you keep this? Weren’t you unconscious on the sea?"
Thinking of certain images, Leng Baiyu’s cold and proud face rarely showed a blush. Pretending to be calm, she said, "Don’t ask, I have my ways."
"If you want it, just take it; if not, toss it into the sea."
"I do want it! How could I refuse a gift fought for with Senior Sister’s life?"
Chen Xiao chuckled and pocketed the rmaid’s Tears, bringing them to his nose for a sniff.
Perhaps due to the box being soaked in seawater for too long, it retained a faint salty and fishy scent...
Chen Xiao’s expression turned odd. Could it be the sll of the ocean?
Leng Baiyu said flatly, "This ti, due to personal matters, I’ve been injured and lost my cultivation. And soon, the Hundred Countries Military Battle will be held in the Capital City. As a forr participant, I can’t compete now."
"Therefore, I want you to take my place, attend the Hundred Countries Military Battle, and bring glory to our nation!"
At her words, Chen Xiao was taken aback, hesitating for a few seconds before nodding.
After all, it was because of him that Leng Baiyu found herself in this situation.
If he didn’t help, it would be unjustifiable.
"But I heard the Hundred Countries Military Battle is only open to War Departnt, Dragon Soul, and special forces mbers. How can soone like , without status, compete on your behalf?!"
"That’s a minor issue." Leng Baiyu smiled nonchalantly, "As for status, isn’t that just a matter of having hands? I’ll arrange an honorary instructor status with Dragon Soul for you soday."
"It’s not just us; other countries do the sa thing."
"Status is arbitrary."
"However, age can’t be faked; generally, they test bone age."
"As for strength, I’m not worried. With your prowess, you can effortlessly crush them."
Chen Xiao nodded, "Sure! Senior Sister, you handle the arrangents, I’ll just focus on fighting."
Leng Baiyu’s face showed a faint smile, then she walked to his side and stayed shoulder to shoulder with him, her deep gaze looking into the distance, "Little Junior Brother, do you rember when you were six?"
"Six?" Chen Xiao hesitated montarily.
"Yes, I was only eight that year." Leng Baiyu’s eyes held a trace of rembrance, "I accidentally fell off a cliff going up the mountain, and it was you who carried back up the cliff despite it all."
"Back then, you promised to not only protect Senior Sister now but also in the future."
"In a blink of an eye, it’s been over ten years."
"You’re no longer that tiny child; your strength has surpassed mine and you can protect ."
Leng Baiyu’s voice was filled with emotion.
Chen Xiao laughed, "Senior Sister, why suddenly so sentintal?"
Leng Baiyu sighed, "It’s just a lant for how quickly ti flies..."
"Now, among the seven main dicines, you have gathered six. Only the last one, Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart, remains. Once you acquire it, you’ll be able to fully control your special physique."
"Before that, don’t go dying amidst won’s charms, wasting my efforts."
Having said that, Leng Baiyu stepped inside.
Chen Xiao felt embarrassed being admonished like that by Leng Baiyu, feeling a bit ashad.
Also, did she have a hint of jealousy?
Was Leng Baiyu jealous?
But this Senior Sister always devoted herself to martial arts, indifferent to romance. It’s impossible for jealousy to appear in her, especially jealousy towards this little junior brother.
Perhaps he’s overthinking it.
Dying amidst won’s charms?
That underestimates him.
To test Leng Baiyu’s words, that night, he sought out Lu Rugao.
As it turned out, he should not die amidst won’s charms.
On the contrary, Lu Rugao was overwheld, even using her limbs and gifted tongue to plead for rcy in the end.
Chen Xiao contentedly embraced his beloved falling asleep.
The next night, Chen Xiao and the others had already entered the Shen Zhou Sea Domain.
"This ship will also dock at Fragrant City." Ye Hongyi stated, "Once we’re in Fragrant City, let’s pass through customs into the Shen Zhou Territory."
Fragrant City?
Chen Xiao’s expression grew peculiar.
Who knows how things are with the Li Family now.
Are they still searching the whole city for him?
If they are... entering Fragrant City without caution might lead to trouble.
He summarized the trouble he caused in Fragrant City to Leng Baiyu.
"No problem." Leng Baiyu chuckled coldly, "I just happen to need to settle scores with the Li Family!"
This ti, Li Jiaming took those guys’ money, setting a trap to bring her into the sea, making him an accomplice. With her personality, she’s unlikely to let it be!
As they approached Divine Land, their phones gradually regained network connectivity.
Chen Xiao’s phone showed nurous ssages.
All from Luo Qingli and the others, expressing concern for his safety.
Chen Xiao’s heart softened as he replied to them one by one.
anwhile, Ye Hongyi, with a grim face, approached Chen Xiao, "Little Junior Brother, I have sothing to tell you."
"Senior Sister, go ahead."
"You better prepare yourself ntally." Ye Hongyi exhaled deeply.
Chen Xiao’s heart sank, sensing that sothing was amiss, "What’s happened?"
Ye Hongyi said, "My informant in Fragrant City just sent a ssage: the Li Family is still searching the entire city for you, seeking revenge!"
"They captured a family of three from Zhonghai Li Family, torturing them to vent their frustration, and even threatened to kill them all if you don’t appear today!"
Li Kani and her family have been implicated and captured by the Fragrant City Li Family?
A terrifying killing intent erupted from Chen Xiao, "They seek death!"
Ye Hongyi was also very angry, "I heard they’re hanging at the Li Family’s gate, being tortured and exposed to the sun for two days, now re shadows of themselves."
"Their goal is to draw you out!"
"Then I’ll fulfill their wish!" Chen Xiao’s tone was chillingly cold; evidently, sparing the Li Family before was far too rciful. He should have sent them to their graves directly!
