In a trance, Xia Xiao stood on the stone steps, which was the ninth stone. Looking back, there was no movement in the peach forest in the distance, and the peach blossoms that had been swirling before disappeared without a trace, as if they had never gathered. Above the peach forest, only Ju Mang flew over, at an extremely fast speed, chasing the wind like lightning.
"Where's the senior sister?"
"She's gone. I can't find her."
"strangeness……"
The previous energy fluctuations were so strong that it seemed like a promotion. But how could there be no movement when the senior sister's level was promoted? Even if it was not earth-shattering, there would be a wave of energy, right?
The two rows of blue-tiled buildings in front of him were still quiet, the candlelight was warm, as if they were not affected at all. But the one who sent him here should also be the eldest sister, and he could vaguely feel the fluctuation of her vitality.
Xia Xiao walked along the stone steps towards the Qingwa Building, with Ju Mang following behind him, floating in the air.
"Although I don't know her, you don't need to worry about people of that level."
"I'm just curious, how did you alarm her?"
Under the candlelight that was as bright as daylight, Xia Xiao caught a glimpse of Ju Mang's curious eyes, feeling a little embarrassed, and said:
"I broke two big arms of peach blossoms from her."
"I'm glad I didn't hit you!"
"Shu Shuang made peach blossom cakes, would you like some?"
Ju Mang smiled and changed his tone.
"If you had known it was for food, you should have called me along. I could have held a handful of it."
"Bullshit, then you'll really get beaten!"
He Shushuang finished delivering the peach blossom cakes and took the remaining four boxes to the side of the square. As it was already dark, only the two people and the two beasts sat together, tasting the peach blossom cakes, drinking hot tea, and looking at the stars in the sky.
"tasty."
After saying this, Huodou stretched his body and lay comfortably on the ground.
Xia Xiao didn't want to release the huodou because it had a bad temper, but he couldn't treat it differently. After thinking for a long time, he still called it out. Although the huodou still had a bad temper and swore as soon as it opened its mouth, it didn't cause any trouble. This is good. Such a peaceful coexistence is rare.
"Stupid dog, move over here, you're burning my wings."
When Ju Mang cursed, he quickly used wind to put out the fire. The wings were really burned, and a small piece was missing, but it was restored in the blink of an eye. If he was not a wood element, it would probably take several days to do so. The sharp steel claw pushed the flaming Huo Dou and stabbed his butt. Under the stronger firelight, the steel claw turned red in an instant.
Turning his head and baring his teeth, the huodou let out a deep growl, like a dangerous warning, and it seemed that it would pounce at any time. Xia Xiao looked at him, and although he didn't say anything, it seemed that if he behaved badly, he would not be allowed to come out next time.
"snort!"
Huodou looked cold and licked his nose before moving back to his seat and lying on the blue bricks.
"My goodness, you are untouchable."
Ju Mang complained, and folded his wings towards Huo Dou. He wanted to put his arm around Huo Dou's shoulders to appear more friendly, but he failed miserably. When he first met Huo Dou, Ju Mang wanted to establish the image of a gentle elder brother, but it ended like this. He couldn't help but call him a stupid dog. It seems that his image will be ruined in the future.
The left wing was spread out, and Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang lay on it, feeling quite comfortable, talking about what happened to the senior sister before.
"Maybe your pastries are just too delicious."
"I don't believe it."
Leaning in Xia Xiao's arms, Shu Shuang smiled slightly, a little sweet. After a long time, Shu Shuang's shoulders trembled slightly, and when she felt a little cold, Xia Xiao whispered:
"Huo Dou, come to the front."
Xia Xiao and Ju Mang looked at the big dog covered in flames, fearing that he would not give them face. Sure enough, Huo Dou opened his mouth and said one word.
"roll!"
Still want to order me around? You wish!
Huodou rested his chin on his front paws, with his face turned to one side. Seeing him like this, Ju Mang felt that his previous barking of a stupid dog was not wronged. At this time, if you don't help, you are really tactless. Xia Xiao, Xia Xiao, thank me properly.
Ju Mang looked at his feet and saw a small seedling growing out. The seedling grew and blossomed, and was very beautiful.
"Ahem, Xia Xiao, it's getting late, get ready to go back."
Xia Xiao and Ju Mang had a tacit understanding. As soon as they heard the strange sound, they knew something was wrong. When Shu Shuang stood up, she stretched very slightly, and Xia Xiao lowered his head to pick the flower.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xiao stood up and handed over the flowers.
"Thank you for your hard work today."
"Thanks."
Shu Shuang was a little sleepy, but she still smiled when she took the flowers.
"Shuangshuang is sleepy, it's time to rest!"
The hand seal was formed, and two space cracks appeared at the same time. A few people in the square saw this action and were so shocked that they couldn't close their jaws. They lost the mood to appreciate the moonlight. Xia Xiao... signed two contract beasts at the same time?
Such things have never happened in real life, but they are a bit like myths. But Xia Xiao was so calm, as if he had already gotten used to it. These things would be revealed sooner or later, because the people of Daxia knew that he had the power of both wood and fire, so it was useless to hide it. Xia Xiao didn't want to do such a troublesome and ineffective thing. They were curious, so they could find out by asking.
They said good night to each other in the corridor. After seeing Shu Shuang go upstairs, Xia Xiao pushed the door and walked into his dormitory.
It was late at night, but there was still a candle lit in the room. The candle was surrounded by three people, all looking at Xia Xiao. It seemed that they were chatting before. Who would have thought that they, who were so incompatible, would have such a harmonious side?
The Black Dragon glanced at the wooden box in Xia Xiao's hand. After he noticed it, he handed it over.
"Peach Blossom Cake, want to try it?"
The three of them didn't take action because they had something on their minds.
Earlier, Black Dragon asked Qin Feng and Mu Lin about Xia Xiao. They didn't know much, but they told them all. Unexpectedly, this discussion brought the three of them closer. They chatted happily, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Black Dragon was still wondering why Xia Xiao hadn't come back yet, but he pushed the door open and walked in. He was really evil. But when Xia Xiao saw him like this, would he become hostile? This was what Qin Feng and Mu Lin were worried about. As for Black Dragon, he stood up and walked towards Xia Xiao.
Xia Xiao smelled of alcohol and was ready to wipe it off before going to bed. Although it was a bit strange to take off clothes in front of strangers, they were all men and there was nothing to be shy about. Xia Xiao was never the kind of shy and hesitant person, but after he took off his clothes, his muscles were not uncommon, but the scars on them were frightening.
He crumpled the clothes into a ball and threw them on the ground. Xia Xiao glanced at the Black Dragon standing beside him and heard him say:
"I didn't know about you before, but you can use the power of wood and fire at the same time. You must have two contracted beasts, right?"
This was a topic Qin Feng and Mu Lin had discussed with Hei Long before, but they didn't expect him to ask directly. But who would answer directly about this kind of thing?
"right."
Um……
Qin Feng and Mu Lin looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. Since Xia Xiao was so frank? In their hearts, they couldn't help but have more respect for Xia Xiao.
"Maybe there will be three more in the future."
Xia Xiao said as he wet a towel and started to wipe his body. The water was a little cold at night, but he didn't make a sound.
"You are so lucky to be alive despite all these injuries."
Black Dragon's tone of voice lost its previous arrogance, and he sat back on the chair. The only person missing from the table was Xia Xiao. He took a look, sat down, and opened the wooden box.
This was specially left by Shu Shuang. Compared with girls, Xia Xiao can take the lead in building good relationships with his roommates. Although Xia Xiao has no shortage of friends, as long as he has Shu Shuang, he should be more cautious in order to prevent Nan Shang from getting into trouble in the same class. The word "cautious" is directly related to the people of Da Xia no matter where they are.
Smelling the faint fragrance and sharing the light of a candle, Qin Feng and Mu Lin would be ungrateful if they didn't reach out. After they ate, they all said it was delicious, which aroused Black Dragon's curiosity. What's so delicious about this seemingly tiny thing? It's better to get a big cow or sheep, enough for yourself.
Pushing the wooden box in front of the black dragon, Xia Xiao raised his chin and motioned him to try it. If it was two hours ago, the black dragon would definitely not do it, but now that the mystery of Xia Xiao's contracted beast has been solved, he has nothing to worry about, so he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing a trace of disbelief on her face, Xia Xiao smiled secretly. Compared with girls, boys are indeed easier to deal with. There is no hatred between them. A piece of peach cake has established a weak friendship.
"What does it feel like to have two contracted beasts?"
Qin Feng was a little curious. Not to mention Mu Lin, Black Dragon was also curious. Although he was the royal family of the Wild Beast Forest, he could only control one of the Five Elements.
"It's like having two brothers with different temperaments and different strengths. You have to put some effort into it, otherwise there will be conflicts."
"You didn't wipe their minds?"
This is Black Dragon's pain point, although he has not experienced it. But too many fellow wild beasts have been captured by humans and their minds have been taken away, which is simply an insult!
"They have always existed in my body. I can't erase them, and there is no need to do so."
Today was the first time the four of them sat together and chatted. As it was late, there was not much to talk about and they soon lay down.
Looking at the ceiling, Xia Xiao always felt the smell of alcohol lingering around him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. But when he woke up, he felt nothing, just like waking up from a dream. No matter how unforgettable the content was, it would gradually fade away.
