The ground shook even more, and the roof above head began to collapse. The ground cracked, and even the stone pillars fell down with a rumble. Zhen Bing was right, both of them were battle scum, staying behind wouldnât help him but be a sacrifice in vain.
Shi Xia clenched her fists at her side, gritted her teeth, pulled up Long Aotian and ran toward the exit. After taking a few steps, a stone suddenly smashed down on them. She pushed Long Aotian out of the way, and took a step back to avoid it.
âLong Aotian, you go to the exit first, Iâll be right behind you.â
âBut âŚâŚâ
âDonât f*cking but me. You have too many gold things on you. Go to the exit first and wait, Iâll be over there in a minute!â
âOh oh, the benefactor is right!â Long Aotian understood, and then ran out towards the exit at full speed.
Shi Xia gritted her teeth, finally could not help but turn around and run back again. She understands all the reasoning! But throwing away teammates and running away like a coward, she canât do it ah!
âXia Xia!â Zhen Bing looked incredulously at the person who ran back to him, how did she come back?
âWe just have to seal it, right?â Shi Xia looked into the air. Out of the three formations Zhen Bing laid to seal the crack, only two were left, âTell me, what can I do to help?â
âDonât be ridiculous!â Zhen Bingâs frown turned deeper, âItâs only the Jiulu Xuantian Formation that can seal the void rift. You canât help me, hurry up and get out of here!â
âAt this time, what kind of formation game are you playing with me? We are leaving together.â Even if her cultivation is weak, she could shout loudly, giving him mental support. âJust because you are at the God Transformation stage, you canât underestimate the power of Qi Refining!â
âGod Transformation âŚâŚ you know!â Zhen Bing froze.
âYou really think Iâm stupid!â Shi Xia gave him a pathetic glance, and didnât bother to play dumb with him, âWhich fire breathing spiritual beast suddenly starts using ice magic? And know more about cultivators than human cultivators!â Just when he was fuming at Ji Han and using ice spells, she guessed he couldnât be any ordinary spiritual beast. âPlease, next time you want to play hide-and-seek with me, think of a better name, okay? Zhen Bing, Chi Hou*. What a creative name!â And those little movements when he pinched her face and touched her head, couldnât he control his urge a little more?
[T/N: Just as I said before, there were three different names written for âZhen Bingâ, in another word, Chi Hou. Zhen Bing means âThe scoutâ, and in the original text, Chi Hou just reverted his name and used âHou Chiâ as his name when he was acting as âZhen Bingâ. But I deliberately used the name âZhen Bingâ to keep it a secret that it was Chi Hou and surprise the readers.]
Zhen BingâŚâŚ no, Chi Houâs eyes immediately softened and became watery, as if any moment and tears would drip down his eyes. He was so touched and relieved that he couldnât help but sniff. Oh ~~ his sister recognized him, even if just half of his divine sense was attached to the fire fox and he completely changed his appearance and attitude, she still recognized him. Heâs so happy and excited, he wants to tell the whole world, owooo~~~~~
Well, not bad for his sister! His sister! ďź( ̄ co ̄) >
âXia Xia âŚâŚâ
âBenefactor âŚâŚâ
Chi Hou was just about to reach out for a hug, but Long Aotian popped up suddenly like a ghost.
âLong Aotian!â Shi Xia was shocked, âDamn, what did you come back for?â What happened to the promise to wait at the door?
âI couldnât help it.â Long Aotian gave an aggrieved look, âI wanted to wait for you at the entrance, but just as I threw away the golds in my arms, the door collapsed.â
âThe door collapsed!â
âHmm.â
Oh wow, no one is getting out now.
Chi Houâs brows were almost knotted into a ball, his cold gaze touched Long Aotianâs body. Humph! This person is really shameless. If it wasnât for the fact that he is the one who saved his precious sister many times, with his intention of trying to abduct his baby sister, he would have already made the grass of his grave as tall as himâŚâŚ
Long Aotianâs whole body trembled, why do I feel that the benefactorâs spirit pet has become more terrifying! Shouldnât he not come back? Is it too late to go back now?
Shi Xia looked up into the air, the second formation, which was already almost scattered by the Chaos Qi, and the other one was also at the verge of disappearing.
âChi Hou, what should we do now?â
âWho is Chi Hou?â Long Aotian was stunned, âIsnât his name Zhen Bing?â How come the benefactor always likes to change other peopleâs names?
Shi Xia turned back and glared at him, âYou donât need to know.â
âOh.â He meekly shut his mouth.
Chi Hou looked grave, now the only way to get out is to seal this void rift, âI only have a wisp of divine sense inside this fire fox, so the Jiulu Xuantian Formation can only be performed once, and it needs to be laid directly on the rift in order to seal it completely. But âŚâŚâ
âChaos Qi.â Shi Xia interrupted. That void rift was surrounded by Chaos Qi. Even if he is now laying the formation, it will immediately be scattered by it, let alone seal the rift. âWhat can I do?â
Chi Hou grabbed her hand, although his sister volunteered to help, what if she is hurt in the process? So painful! ăâ˝ă
Chi Hou fought an inner battle before speaking, âYour Spiritual Root and energy is the most pure, and this Chaos Qi is considered the same type and the same source. You just need to release all your spiritual energy towards the gap, and the Chaos Qi will naturally disperse.â
âItâs that simple?â Shi Xia had some doubts. Just now he said, he only had a wisp of divine sense into the fire fox and he himself is not here. The body he is occupying is also the body of the fire fox, only his divine sense attached to it. With the body of the Jindan stage, using the magic of the God Transformation stage shouldnât be a problem, âYou will be okay using this formation, right?â
Chi Houâs eyes brightened in an instant. His sister worried about him! o(* ̄â˝ďżŁ*)o
âOf course.â He could not help but pinched her face in excitement. Really very soft, âBrother will protect you.â
Shi Xia pushed his paws away and something warm rose from the bottom of her heart. It suddenly appeared to her that this cheap brother is a little too good for her.
âWhat brother?â Long Aotian asked with a puzzled face.
Shi Xia didnât have time to explain anything to him so she just patted his shoulder, âYou wonât understand the world of spiritual cultivation!â
âOh âŚâŚâ Long Aotian scratched his head, âThen is there anything that I can do?â Although his benefactor said he doesnât understand, he still wants to help.
Shi Xia pulled out a radish and pointed to the safe corner far away and said, âTake this and go sit over there.â
âOkay!â Long Aotian turned around and walked towards the corner and sat down carefully. Well, this must also be part of the formation. Finally, he can help the benefactor.
âLetâs begin!â Shi Xia took a deep breath and mobilized all the Qi in her body.
Chi Hou nodded, he waved his hands and changed the flow of the Qi. The only remaining golden spell formation immediately disappeared. Without the formation, the black and white Chaos Qi, began to frantically rampage towards the surrounding area. The ground began to shake more violently, the cracks on the wall became bigger and bigger, spreading to the entire hall.
Shi Xia at that time released all the spiritual energy of her body. Bright white light shimmered from her body and began to run around her. With a beautiful arc, they directly ran towards the six-star shaped gap and just before the black and white Chaos Qi could touch them, they bounced the cluster of black and white back, blocking their path.
âChi Hou.â
âCall me Brother!â The corner of Chi Houâs mouth raised. The spell formation in his hand was long since completed, almost blocking the exit of the Chaos Qi. Five pillars of white light rose along the path of Shi Xiaâs spiritual energy and cleared the path ahead. With the help of her spiritual energy, the cracks around the void began to converge together in a pentagram formation, a string of magic symbols appeared on the formation emitting a bright white light. The five corners of the formation shone brightly and five huge spiritual swords made of crystal clear ice and snow rose like a huge pillar and connected the roof and floor of the hall room together.
The formation worked! All the shaking and rumbling instantly stopped.
Shi Xia exhaled a long sigh of relief. All the energy of her body seemed to be drained. Exhaustion crept over, as her body swayed. When she looked beside, she saw her cheap brother next to her was also swaying. She reflexively stretched her hand forward, she could feel both of them are going to tumble down.
Long Aotian, who noticed them at the verge of falling quickly shot forward, holding the two with his both hands.
âAre you two okay?â
Shi Xia nodded her head, âIâm fine!â Just a little tired. Turning her head, she asked her cheap brother, âWhat about you?â
Chi Hou took the chance and smoothly stroked her head, âIâm fine too.â Give your brother a hug and heâll be fine! (â§â˝âŚ)/
âYour hair âŚâŚâ Shi Xia pointed to his hair with a start. His jet black hair was turning red at a rate visible to the eye. This doesnât look like you are fine ah!
âDonât worry, the hair colour of this body is originally red.â Your brother is telling the truth, you have to believe brother ah.
âBut two pointy ears just puffed up on your head.â
âNo need to be alarmed, which fire fox doesnât have pointed ears?â Chi Hou again replied with a serious face. Believe your brother ah.
âNo, your tail also came out ah!â
âItâs okay, which fire fox does not have a tail?â You have to believe brother ah.
âBut your whole body is glowing ah!â
âRelax, it will stop shining in a while.â You have to believe in your brother.
âChi HouâŚâŚâ
âGood girl, you have to call me Brother.â
âYouâre not going to change back to your original form, are you?â Admit that the original appearance is going to be revealed for running out of Qi ah! Damn!
ââŚâŚâ He hates this body that will reveal its true appearance just using a formation with spiritual energy once! | ̄|_| ̄|
âWhy donât you just turn back into a fox.â Shi Xia suggested. Wouldnât the spiritual energy restore this way faster?
âNo need.â He canât let his sister see his disgraceful appearance. He wants to be a great brother.
â(âŻ^â°)âŽNo changing!
âThen take back your divine sense.â
âNo.â What if he leaves and his sister is abducted again?
â(âŻ^â°)âŽNot going!
âHow about I pass the spiritual energy Iâve left to you?â
âNot.â Heâs a good brother. He wonât let his sister get even a little bit hurt.
â(âŻ^â°)âŽNot taking!
ââŚâŚâ What the hell is going on? Why is he fighting with me ah!
Shi Xia turned speechless. Before, he was very understanding and good mannered. Just because youâve changed your appearance doesnât mean you have to change your attitude too ah!
This is not the brother she knew, but the brother she picked up! She couldnât help but feel that from the moment he attached his divine sense to the fire fox, he was farther and farther away from the image of the one who blew up half of her house when he was upset, and was wildly dominant, cool and slightly arrogant.
Forget it, letâs find a way to escape first! Shi Xia sighed and stood up.
âBenefactor âŚâŚâ Long Aotian pointed above their heads to the towering, five glowing white huge spiritual swords and said fearfully, âthese swords are so big, they wonâtâŚthey wonât collapse, right?â
âNonsense, how couldâŚâŚâ
Crack âŚâŚ
The sound of a crack resonated through the hall, and the five spiritual swords instantly broke âŚâŚ
Xia Shi: ââŚâŚâ
Long Aotian: ââŚâŚâ
A line of black dots passed above their head. From when did Long Aotian have such a cursed mouth? Quickly swallow the words back ah!
âPoof âŚâŚâ the formation backfired, and the preparator of it, Chi Hou opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
âChi Hou!â Shi Xiaâs heart tightened, and she hurriedly sat down again.
âThis is not a void rift.â He was unstable, barely propping him up on the ground with one hand, he said with a serious expression that Shi Xia had never been seen before.
