Zhao Wenlong was an âancientâ person. As for how ancient he was ⌠His phone wasnât even a smartphone.
After the small party, Ming Ming and Zhang Ren both asked for Jiang Xiaoâs WeChat and were given a place in their social media account. Zhao Wenlong was the only one who did not have WeChat or Weibo. His lifestyle was rather peculiar.
Ming Mingâs boyfriend was really outstanding. He was a top student in the law Department of the neighboring Imperial University. He had also passed the judicial examination and was originally interning in a law firm.
However, ever since the last semester, Mr. Ye Hua was touched by Jiang Xiaoâs remarks.â
An ordinary person would wait at home and leave early in the morning and return late at night. He would chat and walk with her at dusk when he was free, and he would cook supper for her when she returned from exhaustion at night ⌠He was giving the Star Warriors the warmth and care they needed in another way and from another perspective.
Perhaps Ye Hua really saw this point, so he let go.
After knowing this, Zhang Renâs choice was extremely firm. He gave up his dream of being a lawyer because this profession required a lot of time and energy.
Zhang Ren started to review the civil service examination and looked for a regular eight-to-five job. The focus of his life seemed to be to accompany hou Mingming.
Jiang Xiao didnât know what to say about her behavior.
Zhang Ren was a man. He clearly knew what he wanted and was willing to work hard for it. However, he also gave up his dreams and some of his persistence and chose to cooperate with another person.
âŚ
Everyone had their own choices, and Jiang Xiao didnât have much to say. As an adult, he had the right to make his own choices and should also be responsible for his own choices.
The photo of Jiang Xiao, hou Mingming, and Zhao Wenlong was soon uploaded to Jiang Xiao and hou Mingmingâs Weibo. The photo was taken by Zhang Ren, who could only be the photographer.
On the photo, Mingmingâs post was: He was waiting to see.
Below, Zhang Renâs comment was drowned out by a group of fans âcomments: Good luck.
He was a photographer and also an audience member. He stood outside the photo and took it for her. He sat in the audience and silently watched her shine.
Lowly little Ren, youâre cheering me on?
Jiang Xiao thought about it again and again, but he still didnât comment on that. Being naughty and being vicious were two different things. He just hoped that everything would go well for this pair.
Jiang Xiaoâs Weibo post was obviously more interesting than hou Mingming âs.
It was the same photo, but the words on top were:
âWith this three-man lineup, how will it look for the World Cup team competition? Even an elementary school student could win the championship, right?@Hongyan â
At the end of the text, it circled that Xia Yan was the most coquettish one. That night, Xia Yan almost made Jiang Xiaoâs hair bald âŚ
However, such a cruel act didnât last long before Jiang Xiao was called away.
Second last came and brought nine tails to the outskirts of the capital.
Jiang Xiao called for a private car and located it at a sparsely populated service area on the highway from the capital to Jinmen city.
In the middle of the night, the car arrived at the service area of the provincial highway. The driver thought that Jiang Xiao was up to no good and was trying to Rob him in the wilderness âŚ
A group of three (two?) After meeting up with them, they didnât say anything and instead turned around to enter the forest beside the road. Second lastâs intention was clear-she was here to take Xiaoxiao back.
During this period of time, because Jiang Xiao didnât enter the dimensional space, he didnât have any low-level star beasts to feed the savage sorceress and lava Ghoul witch. Occasionally, he would buy a large amount of meat and throw it in. Even if he fed it, it probably wouldnât be enough for the brutal star beasts.
In the deep mountains and forests, Jiang Xiao opened the ruins of calamity and shadow and walked in with second last, leaving nine tails to guard the door.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Xiao saw that the number of star beasts was wrong.
There were only seven lava Ghoul witches and five Savage witches left.
When Xiaoxiao saw the two of them, it stood up and ran over quickly. It was unknown if it was missing Jiang Xiao or complaining, but it gently bumped its huge head against Jiang Xiaoâs chest while its real master was left alone.
Second last frowned slightly and said in a hoarse voice,ââItâs much less. â
Yes, it was much less.
However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that when the two of them entered, there was no fighting in the ruins of calamity.
Jiang Xiao looked at the star beasts that were resting against the wall of air and felt helpless.
Hunger, fatigue, and mental exhaustion ⌠To what extent would these brutal creatures stop hunting and sit face to face with their prey to rest?
Bell was different from blessing. Bell healed wounds, while blessing restored vitality.
However, the savage sorceress âHalo could absorb the enemyâs scattered vitality, but their number had been reduced by half! He wondered what had happened in this hell-like prison to maintain such a delicate balance.
Jiang Xiao rubbed Xiaoxiaoâs head and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.ââIt canât be helped. Iâm really busy sometimes and I donât take care of her. The last time I went to the forest of tears, it took me almost ten days to go back and forth, and I didnât have the chance to feed them. They must be really hungry. â
If this continued, the so-called pig-rearing would really become a kun-rearing.
Second last glanced at Xiaoxiao and said,ââIt could also be stealing from its own watch.â
Jiang Xiao and Xiaoxiaoâs hearts tightened at the same time. To Jiang Xiao, even if Xiaoxiao really ate the prisoners, it was because it was really hungry. Xiaoxiao had done a lot of hard work, and Jiang Xiao was the one who wronged it.
But for Xiaoxiao ⌠Master was right. The deaths of the lava Ghoul witch and the savage sorceress were either because it had let the tragedy happen or because it had taken the initiative to attack and forage for food. It was really going crazy from hunger, especially in such a prison. Its mental state was not very good.
The White Mountain snow feather had a pair of huge and pure white wings. It was used to fly in the sky and not to curl up on both sides of the body.
If it werenât for the feelings that it had developed for Jiang Xiao, Xiaoxiao might have even launched an ice roar at him âŚ
âLetâs try and see if they can advance,âJiang Xiao said hurriedly.
Second last looked at Xiaoxiao, who was hanging her head low, and nodded silently.
Jiang Xiao cast a counter-current light on second last and threw another one on a lava Ghoul witch.
The lava Ghoul witchâs huge body trembled and it let out a deafening roar.
5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds âŚ
Jiang Xiao stopped using counter-current light, and the roaring lava Ghoul witch also stopped. There were no changes to its body, but it was much more energetic. It quickly stood up.
Greatly taken aback, Jiang Xiao hurriedly looked at second last and thought to himself, Iâm afraid that the counter-current light will not only take away second lastâs star power, but also her vitality!
However, he realized that second lastâs expression remained the same and a silver glow appeared in her hand. Jiang Xiao hurriedly activated nostalgia and the two of them cooperated tacitly. At the next moment, second last shot out the three arrows in her hands.
Jiang Xiao also cast a blessing.
The lava Ghoul witch, who was focused on second last, was completely engrossed in the blessing.
The three arrows helped second last recover a lot of vitality and star power. She then shot out huge arrows from the dark silver Bow in her hand, which quickly took the lava Ghoul witchâs life.
The star beasts âeyes lit up when they saw the corpse, and they swarmed forward. However, they were all knocked down by a small ice roar, and they ran away while wailing.
Jiang Xiao walked towards the broken corpse of the lava Ghoul witch and squatted down to look for the star bead.
Lava Ghoul witch star bead (gold quality)âŚ
The star bead shattered in his hand and the Starlight fused into Jiang Xiaoâs body.
After a long while, Jiang Xiao looked at second last and shook his head gently.
âNext,â second last said in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Xiao nodded. Within 20 minutes, the two of them experimented with two more lava Ghoul witches and two more Savage witches, only to obtain the same answer.
While nourishing second lastâs body with blessing, Jiang Xiao thought to himself,âPerhaps upgrading them once was the limit, and upgrading them twice might not be allowed, or they would need a longer training time.
Second last closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a while before waving at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao strode towards her, but second last pressed her hand on his shoulder, lowered her head, and said in a serious tone,ââThe world is never smooth sailing.â
Jiang Xiao was amused.âWhy would I be affected by such a trivial matter? Iâm a man of Steel.â
To his surprise, second last was very cooperative and nodded in all seriousness. She looked at the remaining four lava Ghoul witches and the three Savage witches and said,ââI have to take Xiaoxiao away. Thereâs no supervisor here. The next time you come in, there might be even fewer star beasts left.â
However, Jiang Xiao was very decisive.âKill them all. Iâm going to participate in the selection of the national team soon, followed by the World Cup. There should be students and teachers around me. Besides, Iâll also be in the spotlight. I wonât have any chance to feed them.â
Rather than letting them kill each other and leave one star bead for me, Iâd rather take all of their star beads now. â
Second last thought about it and nodded in approval of Jiang Xiaoâs actions.
Jiang Xiao gave Xiaoxiao the Halo of nostalgia and patted its stomach.ââSmash it with ice roar. Youâll like the feeling.â
As it turned out, Xiaoxiao really liked this feeling. In the Halo of nostalgia, Xiaoxiao was absorbing star power and vitality crazily. It was extremely comfortable, and its huge wings spread out and flapped gently.
Jiang Xiao watched as the group of half-dead star beasts were crushed to death by ice roar and asked,ââIs it because of the incident at Mount nocturnal disaster that you want to bring Xiaoxiao with you?â
âYes and no.â Second last turned around, lowered her head, and looked at Jiang Xiao sternly. She said,âthe higher-ups have ordered me to join a light-chasing team temporarily as the leader. I canât take on any disciples for the time being.â
âNine-Tails canât be with you anymore?â Jiang Xiao asked after a moment of shock.
Second last said,âI have to leave for a while.â
âHow long?â Jiang Xiaoâs heart tightened.
Second last shook her head and remained silent.
âWhere are you going?â Jiang Xiao continued.
Second last shook her head again and did not respond.
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and speculated,âthere are some countries in Central Asia that need help, right? Or is there a new dimensional space that I donât know about? Is there another dimensional space rebelling?â
Second lastâs face stiffened and she reached out to press her hand on Jiang Xiaoâs head.ââIt doesnât matter where or how long weâre going. Whatâs important is the order and the execution.â
âIâll go with you,âJiang Xiao said hesitantly.
Second last shook her head and said,âIâll be watching you from a corner. Youâll be on the world stage. Your task is equally difficult.â
Jiang Xiao said, I âŚ
Second last rubbed Jiang Xiaoâs head gently and said with a gentle smile,ââPerhaps your friends think that winning the championship is your goal. However, I know that, compared to winning the championship, fulfilling your promise to the heroic Soul Stage is your greatest source of pressure.â
Jiang Xiao looked up at second last in shock and thought to himself, she actually laughed ⌠It was so gentle.
Second last bent down and pressed her forehead against Jiang Xiao âs. She looked into his eyes and said in a hoarse voice,ââI look forward to the day I walk into the martyrs âCemetery with you. Three months from now, or maybe two years and three months from now.â
Jiang Xiao couldnât stand the burning gaze. He tilted his head and said softly,ââThank you,â he said.
Second last took two steps back and said,âI hope you lose the competition this time.â
âWhy?â Jiang Xiao asked.
Second last returned to being expressionless and said calmly,ââIf you lose, I can imagine how hard you will work in the next two years.â
Jiang Xiao said,âI donât need any extra motivation. Iâve never been lazy since the moment I entered high school.â
Second last agreed with that.
Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice,âIâve worked so hard and persevered for so long. I didnât do it to lose.â
âHa.â Second last snorted and waved her hand before turning around to walk out of the ruins of calamity.
