His face was solemn, with a hint of anger at being rejected, but he did not immediately erupt. Instead, he waited quietly for her to give her the reason for the rejection.
Zhao Xi wanted to gaze straight at the starry sky, but said, "There's something you're wrong about. You and I aren't a match made in heaven, nor am Lin Che. There's never been a match made in heaven in this world."
"Heh..." He chuckled, descended from the sky, and landed three zhang away, tilting his head.
His face was full of mockery as he retorted to Zhao Xi, "What trick are you going to play now? You're already under his protection, are you still going to try to fool me with these kinds of words?"
"No, if you insist on treating those strange things as a past life, then I'll have to give you a lesson in common sense."
It's a bit absurd to explain the simplest truths in such a serious manner.
Zhao Xi shook her head, banishing her distracting thoughts. "The life forms you despise cannot live without water, but they also cannot live without fire. Fire can cook food, giving birth to civilization; war can restore order and advance civilization. This immortal realm is the result of the joint efforts of all the 'gods,' not just Lin Che's. You don't need to kill all the cultivators."
"I am very strong!" Hoshino remained obstinate and stepped forward to get closer to Zhao Xi, but was blocked by the water spirit energy.
Just like every time Zhao Xi tried to persuade him before, the result was the same.
He raised his hand, pointed at Lin Che by the pond, and boasted, "I can steam him dry!"
Lin Che squatted by the pond, his sleeves rolled up, one hand submerged in the water, holding a pair of small fish fry.
The little fish fry were still adapting to their new environment, clinging to his palm and refusing to leave, seemingly disgusted by the murky water.
He released the fish fry, then tossed aside a few clumps of water plants, lotus flowers, and a duckweed leaf. Hearing this, he looked up at him and let out a soft scoff.
"Ha, little brat."
The simple statement completely negated his abilities and combat power.
Hoshino instantly flew into a rage, transforming into a cloud of black energy and charging towards him.
Lin Che casually flicked a handful of water. The shimmering, fluorescent blue water aura dispersed in the air, forming a nebula-like substance that blocked his path.
This is already his territory.
No one can act recklessly in his domain.
The water vapor dispersed.
Hoshino was knocked back and turned back into a young man a dozen feet away.
"hateful!"
He knelt on one knee, clenched his fist, supported himself on the ground, gritted his teeth and growled, then spat out a mouthful of blood.
This idiot is proving with his actions that he really is that little brat.
People grow up, but their temperament remains the same.
Zhao Xi looked down at him disdainfully, "Even if I don't end up with Lin Che, you still won't have a chance. You scare me! Life in the Hundred Beasts Garden is so peaceful and happy, yet you insist on making yourself uncomfortable, turning the entire Immortal Realm against you. If you really like me, when it's just you and me left in this world, you'll find some so-called 'meaning' and extinguish me. Then you'll be alone on this desolate planet, living a lonely life forever! How can I possibly like someone like you?!"
By the end, she was so angry that her hands were trembling.
Tears, like pearls breaking their string, slid down from my eyes, scattering in the air and turning into wisps of fluorescent blue water vapor.
She had wanted to say these words before, but she couldn't bring herself to.
In fact, the proud little dragon cub had already turned evil, but she felt there was still room for maneuver. After this incident, she could never go back to the past!
"My sister... doesn't like me anymore..."
Hoshino knelt on the ground, his gaze blank, and murmured a sentence repeatedly.
Zhao Xi tried to wipe away her tears with the back of her hand, chuckled softly, and gently asked, "You? Are you worthy?"
Do you deserve it...?
Do we deserve it...?
Her voice echoed in Hoshino's mind.
Like a bolt from the blue, it sent a jolt through his veins, making his blood boil.
As if he had lost his soul, he softly repeated that sentence.
Only now did I realize that this was how Zhao Xixiang viewed him.
It turns out that the time he recognized a thief as his father was when she liked him the most.
ha……
Hoshino chuckled and sat down on the ground.
He laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
The earthquake sent flocks of birds and beasts flying, and trees swaying.
The demonic energy transformed into a fierce wind, scattering his hair and leaving his black locks disheveled.
His internal injuries were aggravated again, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. Veins bulged on his forehead, and rolling flames swirled around him.
Lin Che left the pond and stood guard beside Zhao Xixiang, watching his every move warily.
From within the black mist came Hoshino's low voice: "I understand, sister, so you hate me."
He was very sad.
Zhao Xi was helpless and heartbroken.
After all that she said, did he really understand this?!
Hoshino then said, "I understand what I need to do..."
The black mist suddenly exploded, and a gale arose. The domain that Lin Che had created with water vapor seemed to crack open, forming a black path leading in the direction Zhao Xixiang was looking for.
She was suddenly enveloped in black mist.
It's like a sudden smog in the early morning, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Zhao Xi tried to rush towards Lin Che, but instead bumped into Xing Ye's arms.
Holy crap!
What did he do?
In this situation, he was able to break through Lin Che's domain; was he planning to perish together with her?!
She shrank back in fear, keeping her mouth tightly shut to protect herself.
"Sister, this is the last time I'll call you sister. Rongrong has disappeared."
*Sob*
Zhao Xi suddenly chickened out, her voice barely audible: "There's no need for that. You can still call me 'sister' next time..."
Hoshino chuckled, then sighed helplessly, "You're afraid of me."
