She shouldn't have come!
If she doesn't come, Hoshino will kill all the hostages in his hands, find another opportunity to approach her, and then kill all her companions.
How could the mighty water god utter such words?!
Lin Che's mask concealed most of his expression, revealing only his eyes and tightly pursed lips.
There was no anger or domineering in his eyes, but rather a hint of expectation.
Expectations?
Zhao Xi wanted to scoff, but frowned and glared at him, scolding, "If you had taken me with you, that demon cultivator would still be alive!"
"Losing a few demon cultivators can save you and the Hundred Beast Garden. If you go with him, why should I continue to protect that place?!"
"You are the teacher of the Hundred Beasts Garden!"
"I don't have to be."
"Fine, very well!" Zhao Xi tried to shake off his tightly clenched hand and roared, "Since you don't care, then don't stop me! Get out of my way!"
She shoved Lin Che, turned and walked towards the big tree without looking back.
Lin Che did not stop her as expected.
Zhao Xi wanted to stop a few feet away and look up.
The little dragon rested his elbow on a thick tree branch, propped up his chin, and watched the show with great leisure.
After a while, his face had become more mature and handsome. His hair had grown quite a bit, with the ends tied with a straw rope by a small bean sprout, and wisps of hair hanging down his temples, giving him a carefree and unrestrained look.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a satisfied and content look on his face like a cat that had just stolen some fish: "My sister has finally arrived."
"Yes, I'm here. You let them all go."
Zhao Xi frowned, her eyes resolute.
"I not only want you to come with me, I also want you to marry me."
Hoshino grabbed the bean sprouts and broccoli, suddenly stood up from the tree, and leaped away like an arrow.
At the very moment he left, clouds rapidly gathered overhead, and rain poured down.
"Hoshino!" Zhao Xi wanted to chase after him.
He was waiting for her, and she caught up with him in just a few steps.
The thunderclouds in the Wind and Thunder Grassland were already numerous, and with the clouds summoned by Lin Che pressing down on them, the air became hot and humid, almost suffocating.
The cloth clothes became heavy, sticking to my body and making me sweat.
He was holding a broccoli and a small bean sprout in his arms. They were tiny and cute. If you didn't know that he had just killed a demon cultivator in front of you, you would think that he was just a handsome, roguish older brother holding two toys.
Hoshino made a request: "Let him go."
"Lin Che, leave this place and don't follow us."
Zhao Xi wanted to turn around and look at Lin Che.
Lin Che was surrounded by fluorescent blue water spirit energy, and the clouds in the sky followed him, moving closer to him.
The sky was dark.
Only then could one see the strange color surrounding Hoshino.
More dazzling than black, it's like demonic energy, yet it isn't.
Zhao Xi could vaguely sense that this was a mysterious and ancient power.
Lin Che gazed at her silently, and upon hearing her words, stopped a few steps away, his tone cold and slow: "Zhao Xi, think it over carefully. If I leave now, you can't escape his side with your own strength. He's just a demon cultivator; do you really want to do this?"
"Hmm." Zhao Xi nodded, blinking her eyes, tiny dewdrops gathering on her long eyelashes. "Take them away, take them back to the Beast Garden to heal their wounds. Little Ding must be very worried..."
Dewdrops fell from her eyelashes and dripped into her eyes.
My entire nose and mouth tasted bitter.
"Then... so be it."
Lin Che raised his hand.
The clouds in the sky transformed back into watery mist and quickly gathered towards him. His light blue robes returned to their deep blue color.
He reached out his hand to Hoshino.
Hoshino threw the broccoli at Rinche.
Lin Che caught the hostage, then turned into a cloud of water vapor and disappeared into the air.
The clouds dispersed, and the thunderclouds also dissipated considerably because the seal on the Great Azure Phoenix had been released.
Tranquility returned to the dense forest, the faint mist enhancing the fragrance of the grass. Mushrooms sprouted from the trees at a visible rate. Whether it was due to the spiritual energy of Lin Che or the great blue phoenix, their colors were exceptionally vibrant.
In the distance, the chirping of a little blue luan bird echoed through the dense forest.
"Sister, is it really you?"
Hoshino casually tossed the little bean sprout aside.
The little bean sprout fluttered its wings and wisely flew to the tree, tilting its head and quietly watching.
Zhao Xi took a deep breath, her heart pounding faster and faster, her chest feeling heavy and she could hardly breathe.
But I felt a little more at ease.
She raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Hoshino: "Hoshino, I'm already married, I can't marry you."
"You didn't get married, and Lin Che didn't marry you."
"But we..."
Hoshino walked up to her, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her with eyes as bright as stars: "Sister, he is a god. How can a god marry a mortal? Does he have a marriage contract? Whether it's the ceremony in your world or the ceremony here, has he fulfilled it with you?"
Zhao Xi was taken aback.
No.
"What ceremony?"
Hoshino: "Even without parents, a matchmaker should still perform the wedding ceremony."
"...But aren't gods heaven and earth? How can they worship themselves?"
"No. Sister, your face is so pale, what happened?" Hoshino cupped her face, her reflection shimmering in his eyes.
Zhao Xi frowned and clutched her chest: "I think I've been poisoned. It's probably because Qingluan ate some poisonous mushrooms in this forest, and the toxins accumulated in her wings. When she scratched me just now, she only cleaned the wound, but didn't detoxify it."
"I will force out your poisonous blood."
"No, I am just a mortal, I am useless. I need to find some antidote herbs."
