Chapter 232: Her Royal Highness the Sea Princess is a Heartthrob (17)

There is no shortage of daily necessities and there is even a small kitchen.

However, there are no signs of use. It should be that Horn and Annie don’t know how to cook, so this place has not been touched.

Qiao Xi was exploring the wooden house.

After Zuo Qianjin came in, he looked around the space and was a little reserved when he saw the girl.

Five days...

He and Qiao Xi will live here for five days.

Once again realizing the current reality, Zuo Qianjin couldn't help but become nervous. This was probably the best opportunity for him.

He patted his chest quietly.

He tried his best to calm his racing heart, then went to get some water and patted his face hard to cool down his burning cheeks.

Cold water drenching.

He lowered his eyes to look at the sink, his mind racing with thoughts.

As a result, the ideas gradually became clear.

His mind calmed down and his rationality returned. His eyes were bright and filled with the confidence of a determined person.

Pack up and rest for the night.

The next day, Qiao Xi also prepared to go out to look for food. As a living creature, you must eat to survive.

Zuo Qianjin walked down from upstairs.

"I'll go with you. It's more dangerous outside."

Qiao Xi was holding a bamboo basket in her hand. When she heard Zuo Qianjin's words, she looked up and said, "Yes, it's dangerous outside. You can't go."

The boy was stunned for a moment.

"Why??"

“…” Qiao Xi was a little embarrassed and looked away without saying anything.

Zuo Qianjin finally reacted belatedly and felt as if he had been shot in the heart by an arrow. He was instantly devastated.

He stared at Qiao Xi and spoke with some difficulty.

"Are you...disliking me?"

The word "weak" is still a word that he is ashamed to mention for someone with such a strong sense of self-esteem.

For other students.

Perhaps he has already surpassed most people, but when facing more outstanding talents, he is more aware of his own shortcomings and the gap between them.

And he was hit by the opponent's strength again and again.

The steel heart that has been constantly tempered only feels a little bitter now.

Maybe the gap in talent really cannot be filled.

Qiao Xi was stunned, and quickly stuffed the bamboo basket into his hands and waved her hands to deny it, "No, it's just too dangerous, so I'm worried that you'll get hurt."

As she said this, the girl looked a little nervous.

Qiao Xi looked over cautiously, her eyes filled with worry for him. Zuo Qianjin was slightly stunned when he met such a clear gaze.

Aren't you looking down on him for being weak?

Are you not letting him go just because you're worried he might get hurt?

When such thoughts pop up in my mind.

My self-esteem, which had been severely damaged by the girl's words, seemed to be filled with warmth. I no longer felt bitter, but rather sweet.

That’s great, it turns out Qiao Xi is worried about him.

The boy's voice also became softer.

"I can't leave you alone, so I'll go too. Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to protect myself."

Since he insisted so much, Qiao Xi didn't say anything else.

Gathering food is secondary.

The main reason she went out was because she sensed a familiar breath. When her mental power spread outward to explore, she discovered the presence of a hand underground.

It's like holding up the mountain.

She wanted to go to the center to see the location.

"Let's split up. I'll go look on the other side."

Zuo Qianjin felt a little disappointed when he heard the girl's proposal, but thinking that this would be more efficient, he had no choice but to compromise and agree.

"All right."

Zuo Qianjin went to the other side carrying the bamboo basket. Qiao Xi no longer hesitated and went straight to the palm of the hand underground.

She squatted down like last time.

He placed his hand on the soft soil and as his mental power probed deeper, he could feel himself getting closer and closer to his palm underground.

It was like a huge hand that appeared out of thin air.

It was as if the entire sky was covered and obscured, and she had this feeling as her spiritual power gradually deepened.

The eerie feeling of time and space distortion reappears.

The consciousness seemed to be pulled by something, and was once again bewitched and fell into the invisible vortex.

In a daze.

It was not until the refreshing fragrance of flowers hit her that Qiao Xi subconsciously opened her eyes and found herself back under the towering ancient tree.

this time.

She saw Jue again, whom she had only seen for a short time.

It’s just that the young man looked different from the last time I saw him. To be more precise, his temperament had changed too much.

He was wearing a majestic silver armor.

The cloak fluttering behind him made his back look even taller.

The wine gourd is missing.

If he was a lazy rich second-generation before, he now looks like a young general about to go to war, his edge exposed like a sword drawn from its sheath.

Years of polishing and tempering, just for today.

Jue, wearing silver armor, leaned lazily against a tree with his arms folded. Compared with before, he looked much calmer, but there was an unremovable worry between his brows.

I don’t know what I’m worried about.

Qiao Xi thought about it and finally showed up: "What are you looking at?"

When he heard her voice, Jue almost thought he was hallucinating. In the past five years, he would come here every day when he was free.

But.

I never saw the girl who suddenly appeared before again.

That strange girl with a strong sense of time and a translucent body.

"Where have you been these past five years?"

When I saw her again, I couldn't help but walk up to her and look her up and down carefully.

Not changed at all.

"Five years? Didn't we just meet a few days ago?"

Qiao Xi was stunned when she heard his words, and answered subconsciously. After she finished speaking, she realized that things had become a little strange.

"ah?"

Jue was also stunned. There was a hint of doubt in the young man's heterochromatic eyes. "The last time we met was in 195, and now it's 200 years."

Because it is an integer.

He also remembers it clearly.

After hearing his words, Qiao Xi was silent for a while, and a certain guess in her heart was confirmed. 200 years... that was really a long time.

"I...in your time fifty thousand years later."

She said this and looked at the young man in front of her again.

The past five years.

The other person's appearance has not changed at all, the only thing that has changed is his temperament, which has become more calm.

Jue was shocked when he heard her say this.

The young man scratched his head and muttered softly, "Fifty thousand years? Are you kidding me? No, that's not right... If it's this tree, then it's possible."

"What are you talking about?"

Qiao Xi also became interested in his mumbling and waved her hand in front of Jue.

The other party then withdrew his gaze and looked at her.

"Girl, you're incredible—you've traveled through time!"

This pretentious tone, coupled with Jue's serious expression, inexplicably made Qiao Xi want to laugh.

"So, where did you come from this time?"

But Jue had no intention of joking with her. The young man stared at her seriously.

Qiao Xi also said obediently: "There is a hand behind the northern part of the border battlefield."

It's still the same eyes as before.

That hand was just a single hand, without an arm, but the shape of the hand was very beautiful.

Qiao Xi's gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the young man's hand.

Jue understood instantly and showed her his hand, "Mine?"

Qiao Xi leaned over and took a closer look. "It looks very similar, but I can't be sure it's yours. But I came here because I touched that hand, so it might be related to you."
