Chapter 162: The setting sun warms my cheeks (Part 1)



Before coming, Shu Shuang's shoes were very clean. Girls in love brush their shoes more often than other girls, but after walking so many miles, they were covered with mud, forming a sharp contrast with the clean colorful gravel on the ground. Shu Shuang, who was about to take a lotus step, retracted her steps, and shook off the mud and sand with her vitality, and then walked forward again.

This kind of thing is harmless, but Shu Shuang's attentiveness is pleasing, especially the middle-aged patriarch who still has charm. Seeing her like this, she has some expectations, so that Shu Shuang will not regret it after really grabbing the stone.

Walking on the colored stones and looking up, Shu Shuang personally experienced the enormity of the Soul River. It was unknown how many members of the Lan Ze Spirit Bird clan there were, but the colored stones among them were like billions of stars, emitting some rhythms, strong or weak.

This was the first time Shu Shuang had seen such a scene. The different stream intoxicated her. What kind of spiritual bird would she get? Would it be fat or thin? Or a young girl who had just grown up, or maybe an uncle. Would she chirp at her feet, like Ju Mang did when he was a child? Or would she stand in the contract space, motionless, with only dew running across her face and dripping into the calm pond.

Shu Shuang was not sure if she could succeed. No one could predict the outcome of such a thing, but her figure was fascinating, as if attracted by an indescribable dreamy color. Xia Xiao watched, lost in thought. He always lost in thought when Shu Shuang was concentrating on one thing, as if Shu Shuang did not exist at all, because she was too perfect and seemed ethereal.

The colorful mist was like a gauze skirt, covering Shu Shuang. She walked and came to the bottom of the Soul Stream. Her fair skin appeared flawless under the color of the colored stone.

Shu Shuang raised her wrist and tried to dance, but even if she stood on tiptoe, it was difficult for her to touch the Soul Stream. It was some distance away from her, but Shu Shuang was not in a hurry.

"bring it on."

As he whispered, a colorful halo of light enveloped him like clouds falling from the sky. In an instant, the light before his eyes was bizarre and lost its previous sacredness and beauty, but instead became a little more mysterious.

Shu Shuang wasn't sure if her eyes were open, because she could only see the blurry colors. The stones were coming towards her quickly, but they passed by suddenly without stopping or murmuring to her.

Outside the mist, Xia Xiao's eyes were filled with fog, with countless meteors flying through them. Shu Shuang opened her arms, as if to embrace everything.

"This is a test of fate, young master, don't worry."

The clan leader smiled slightly, and looked even happier when Xia Xiao saluted. It seemed that the person brought by His Highness was indeed extraordinary and well-mannered.

Tianming and Chuanlian were side by side, so he didn't worry too much about Shu Shuang. If this kind of thing works, it's fate. If it doesn't work, just change to another race. It's no big deal. But Xia Xiao always looked at Shu Shuang with a doting and gentle look, which he couldn't learn. But Tianming vaguely felt that Bingfeng also needed that kind of look. After all, she was still very happy when he took the initiative to say goodbye to her.

Tianming came close to Xia Xiao, wanting to gain some experience, but Shu Shuang estimated that it would take some time.

"Hey, why do you make that look?"

"Which one?"

"That's what you saw with Shu Shuang just now."

The green trees all around made Xia Xiao look more energetic and less cold than usual.

"When you feel you love Feng Lu enough, you will naturally be able to show that emotion."

"Love? If you weren't here, I would never have said this word in the Wild Beast Forest. It's too absurd."

Tianming frowned, feeling a little ashamed. Wild beasts never need love, they just need enough strength. He and Fenglu were together not because of love, but because of the engagement, because they were both very strong.

"You are a member of the academy now, and you are only back temporarily."

Suddenly, Xia Xiao understood why the academy had such a transcendent attraction. It was like a home, freeing people from constraints and making them feel free and carefree. Tianming was silent, and he felt that what Xia Xiao said was wrong.

A light flashed in his eyes, and Xia Xiao, who was about to say something to Tianming, suddenly turned his head and looked at Shu Shuang.

In the colorful mist, a stone came from a height, broke through numerous obstacles, dragged a stream of light, and rushed towards Shu Shuang. The latter sensed a hint of danger and frowned slightly, because its movement was much stronger than the previous stone. But when he opened his palm, he caught a trace of warmth.

The colored stones glowed, breaking through the colorful mist, surprising the old patriarch.

"So... can we really catch it?"

As the leader of the Lanze Spirit Bird, she knows best what the Soul River represents. This is the beautiful blessing left by the ancestors, and the indescribable fate can all be sensed by it. And Shu Shuang, a human, can not only grasp the stone in it, but also the one? It seems that her tribe is going to stir up a storm.

When the mist rose into the air, Shu Shuang appeared. Xia Xiao wanted to run to her side to see how she was doing, but he held back and stood still.

Holding the stone in both hands, Shu Shuang walked back slowly, with a deep smile on her face. This way, she could save a lot of time, and more importantly, she really found the wild beast that was destined for her. But she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she restrained her emotions. She took away the Lan Ze Ling Bird tribe with her when she came and went. If she were the tribe leader, she would also be unhappy.

Tianming looked at the clan leader and asked:

"Whose stone is this?"

"Your Highness, she will come later."

Tianming was not particularly familiar with Lan Ze's spirit bird, after all, it had little to do with his dragon clan. But he had heard something about this spirit stone. It was said that the bigger the spirit stone, the stronger its power. The stone in Shu Shuang's hand was not small! But who could be the spirit bird with such power? Tianming could not remember it for a moment.

Shu Shuang walked in front of Xia Xiao and spread out her hands. The stone was pure red, and it was a perfect match for her palms because it was the same size as hers.

The whole process took only a moment, but the ending was unexpected. Xia Xiao's palm fell on Shu Shuang's head, and then led her to the clan leader. With the will of heaven, the clan leader of Lan Ze Ling Bird would not regret it, but if the spiritual contract was really signed, she had to agree publicly.

"Master Patriarch."

Shu Shuang bent down, revealing the red stone, as if it were a proof.

Seeing this, Chief Lan Ze felt mixed emotions and her face turned pale, but she finally calmed down and had to accept this reality. As the chief of the clan, she naturally had to abide by the rules left by her ancestors, so she spoke in a soft voice:

"This is fate. Please wait for a moment, Your Highness, and the other three. I will be here soon."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Xia Xiao and the other two, Tianming was also shocked. No wonder the clan leader looked so unhappy, it turned out to be her daughter. It seemed that this spiritual contract could not be signed! She was willing to give in, and Tianming had to understand the rules.

The creation of the Spiritual Contract was called the disaster of the wild beasts. In the past, humans had to comprehend the power of the five elements by themselves. But after the emergence of the Spiritual Contract, it became a shortcut to practice, and the power of the five elements was obtained directly by signing a Spiritual Contract with the wild beasts. At the beginning, humans tamed the wild beasts, which was a tragedy for the latter, but at least their sanity was still there and they could communicate. But later, the cunning humans did not want to be affected by the sanity of the wild beasts in their bodies, so they erased their sanity and eliminated the danger.

In another sense, it was crazy for wild beasts to sign a spiritual contract with humans. It was like a woman running away from home with a man. No matter what, the latter would be the beneficiary, and the beasts would always be the victims! Therefore, what mother would be willing to give up her daughter and sign a spiritual contract with a stranger?

Tianming brought Xia Xiao and the other two here, so he should apologize. But before he could say anything, Shu Shuang had already handed over the red stone with both hands.

"Master Patriarch, I apologize for any offense I have caused you."

"You're not going to sign the spiritual contract?"

Wild beasts can see the hypocrisy of humans most clearly. Even though the clan leader still respected these friends of His Highness, he was sneering in his heart. Could it be that she really didn't want to sign? It was just a matter of courtesy. What she said was completely different from what she actually did. But Shu Shuang was full of apologies and said:

"I won't sign it. I can choose the path of practice as a talisman master."

Compared to the extremely tall clan leader, Shu Shuang is like a child, she is a child herself! Looking up, Shu Shuang is sincere. Her spiritual power is not outstanding, she may discover herself and become a talisman master like her master. Compared to this kind of signing of the spiritual contract, she still thinks it is better to take that path, even if it is difficult, it is not against her will.

The old patriarch did not expect Shu Shuang to say this. When he looked at Tian Ming, he had the same idea as Shu Shuang. After all, they were all wild beasts, and it was impossible for him to force the Lan Ze patriarch to hand over his daughter.

Although Heaven's Fate does not completely oppose the Spiritual Contract, it does not advocate it, because once the Spiritual Contract is formed, the Wild Beast will lose its most important dignity and freedom.

Xia Xiao and Chuan Lian also supported Shu Shuang's decision. The clan leader felt guilty for his previous thoughts, but his daughter was not an ordinary clan member. If he could exchange an ordinary clan member for a favor from His Highness and an outstanding student from Ningshen Academy, it would be a good deal. But his own daughter, who is not held in the palm of his hand and held high above his head, who would be willing to suffer such grievances?

"I hope the clan leader will take back the spirit stone."

The old patriarch remained elegant and never panicked.

"Let's wait for my daughter to come and make her own decision."

"this……"

Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao, feeling a little embarrassed. She really didn't like doing this kind of thing. Her tender face looked like water could be squeezed out. Seeing this, Xia Xiao comforted her:

"Since we are destined to be together, we must respect her opinion. Let's follow the clan leader's wishes and wait for a while!"

Shu Shuang nodded and sat on the wooden chair outside Hunxi.

"Your Highness, I lost money."

After Chief Lan Ze left, Tian Ming smiled and said:

"You are really lucky."

"No."

Shu Shuang held the stone in her hand and really enjoyed the warmth on it, but there was some displeasure on her face.

Xia Xiao asked the destiny:

"Have you seen the chief's daughter?"

"I haven't seen her, but I heard that she has two daughters with completely opposite personalities, one is manic and restless, and the other is gentle and elegant."

Hearing this adjective, Chuan Lian was quite happy, even proud. The education in the academy is so efficient. Tianming would not have spoken like this when he first came.

"I hope it's the latter one."

What Xia Xiao said was exactly what Shu Shuang was thinking, but Tian Ming joked:

"The mania that Lan Ze Ling Bird mentioned is just a bad temper. It's not like my dragon clan, which can poke a hole in the sky."

"Now is not the time for you to show your superiority."

Tianming always felt that Xia Xiao's words were irritating, but he didn't argue with him. He just looked at Chuan Lian, as if asking for instructions.

"Since Shu Shuang has chosen the path of a talisman master, everything will be fine. It's still early now. Why don't you come visit my dragon clan later?"

"Okay, just think of it as you going home."

Chuan Lian agreed, and Tian Ming said to Xia Xiao:

"I guess you haven't seen the dragon's castle yet. It's not comparable to a human palace."

"Can I see your people?"

"sure."

Tianming smiled secretly. When Xia Xiao arrived at the land of his dragon clan, he would be very impressed. And he would be the future king of the dragon clan and even the entire wild beast forest. Beside him, Xia Xiao's eyes were silent and he pondered for a long time. Even if he went to the dragon clan, he would not be able to find the black dragon that sealed him. But it would be great to go there.
