The holy spring with lingering mist was extremely peaceful, and Xia Xiao's face appeared on it. He did not move, but waved his hand, signaling Shu Shuang to come over.

What happened? Why did Xia Xiao look like he was possessed? Shu Shuang was a little frightened, but she held Xia Xiao's hand, stood side by side with him, and then lowered her head.

Chuan Lian and Tian Ming also came over. Three people and a dragon emerged from the clear holy spring, extremely clearly.

Squatting down, Xia Xiao looked at Shu Shuang's reflection in the water. It was like a mirror image, but she was still pure and quiet, without any change.

It seems that I was overthinking it. This is the only way I understand it now.

Xia Xiao pondered, but his thought was not wrong. Senior Brother Chuan Lian did not know Shu Shuang's identity at first, so he came to ask him, but after the master showed up, he and Shu Shuang entered the Ningshen Academy without any obstacles. So, the vitality in Shu Shuang's body might be born with it. Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, many things cannot be explained clearly.

Standing up, Xia Xiao said with some apology in his voice:

"Sorry, I was too excited earlier."

"What do you see?"

“I felt like I was falling in.”

His voice was very soft, but every word was clearly heard by the three people, and Tianming laughed when he heard it.

"I've felt that way before, and it's not a bad thing."

On the way back, Xia Xiao became interested and asked about fate.

"What's the meaning?"

"My brother said that all kings are like this."

Xia Xiao smiled in the darkness. It was a simple and crude truth. But with his auspicious words, he could become the king and get rid of the gold that was now everywhere.

"You have a brother?"

"Yes! He is the king of this wild beast forest."

This may sound a bit high-profile, but it is also true.

"I really want to see her beauty."

The Beast King was very vague in Xia Xiao's memory, and he didn't even have a concept of him. But was he the same as Tianming? Since they were brothers, they should look similar. Tianming was more mature and upright in Xia Xiao's mind, and perhaps he looked like the Beast King.

"He has been asleep for five years. Not only you, but I can't even see him."

Sleeping? Is it for promotion? Xia Xiao didn't ask, because asking again would involve privacy. Not asking too much about everything is good for everyone.

"Give me a big bed tonight."

Xia Xiao changed the subject, making Tianming and Chuanlian smile. Then they showed appreciation, he was obviously right. And he guessed right, Tianming's brother was indeed preparing for promotion. When he broke through the shackles of the eighth level, he would be a wild beast with the strength of the ninth level, which was equivalent to the realm of asking for the way above the human realm, or even higher. But the road to promotion was extremely difficult, and failure would occur if one was not careful, so he could not be disturbed. In the underground palace under this ancient castle, there were countless dragon souls guarding it, and even confidants could hardly get close.

Tianming personally led the three people to the room in the castle.

"Rest easy, someone will call you tomorrow morning."

Standing in front of the house, Xia Xiao turned his head and looked at Tianming who was about to leave, and said:

"You can snore all you want tonight."

Tianming tilted his head, as if smiling. But it is true that there is no need to hold your breath tonight, but humans have a lot of things to do. Is snoring abnormal? In fact, it is quite normal, but his snoring is a little unusual.

Walking into the room, Xia Xiao took off his clothes without saying a word. Shu Shuang couldn't help laughing. Why are you in such a hurry? She laughed out loud inadvertently, which also made Xia Xiao laugh, but he was still busy undressing.

"Sleep, sleep."

After taking off Shu Shuang's thin dress, Xia Xiao hugged her and pulled the warm quilt. Even though it was summer, the night was still cool, and this deserted place was even colder, but it soon became hot again, extremely hot.

In the underground palace, the crystal light pointing vertically downward above the head was faint, but very charming. Below it, a man came up with a deliberately left black scratch on his cheek, like a dragon's finger. And this was naturally the destiny of coming to pay homage to the king!

The underground palace was extremely spacious, but one could only stand in the main hall and could not go deeper, otherwise the dragon soul would counterattack. Therefore, Tianming stopped in time and said in a normal voice:

"Brother Wang, is there any progress?"

His voice could not reach the other side of the hall, but there was a response soon.

"none."

Although it was just a few words, Tianming knew about Brother Wang's situation and felt relieved. Thinking carefully, the two brothers had not seen each other for six years, not five years.

"I wish my brother to break through to the eighth level as soon as possible, leave the underground palace, and restore the prestige of the forest."

After that, Tianming performed a great ceremony. Even though he is now a student at the academy, the conflict between humans and wild beasts is becoming more and more serious because of the spiritual contract, and a war will break out sooner or later!

Behind the main hall was a deep passageway filled with alert dragon souls roaming around. They looked translucent, like clouds and white smoke, vulnerable to attack, but in fact, they would get angry at the slightest provocation and were extremely ferocious. Under their strict guard, even an eighth-level wild beast with ill intentions would have difficulty rushing in. But in the room beside the passageway, besides the king of the wild beast forest, there were two other people sitting.

The soft light illuminated the whole room, and two people, one old and one young, could be seen. The old man had white hair and a youthful face, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and a palm-leaf fan in his hand. The young man had deep eyes and fair skin. They sat on both sides of the bed, which amazed Wang, who had not yet opened his eyes.

In order to hide his aura, he had been sleeping for a long time and used billions of dragon souls of the dragon clan to protect himself, but he was still discovered by these people, which shows how strong they are! And as a beast king, he was in a somewhat embarrassing situation at this time.

"You've already spoken before, why are you still pretending to be asleep?"

The young and regal king opened his eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Sit up, or you'll accuse us of bullying the weak."

Is this old man going to the capital to teach? Huang Qing is looking for his son. At this time, he has a smile on his face and does not seem to take the ** king seriously.

The old man said to sit up, but Wang did not get out of bed and stood up to talk to them. But even if he sat up, what would happen? Wouldn't that count as bullying the weak? Not only did they bully the weak, they also bullied the few with the many.

Revealing his muscular upper body, Wang bowed with both fists, but he was somewhat unwilling. It was not the Dragon Clan's thing to be humble, especially to humans.

"What can I do for you two?"

"You know best what you have done, but if you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid someone else will have to take over this Wild Beast Forest."

Qingxunzi's voice was slightly cold, and the king heard the threat and immediately said:

"Once I die, the Wild Beast Forest will be in chaos, and you humans will be the ones to suffer. So, don't threaten me!"

**The sound was cold, like a peerless sword without blood, which could cut off everything in the world. Along with the sound came infinite dragon power. The fluctuations had broken through the eighth level and reached the ninth level. Qing Xunzi, who sensed it, smiled faintly. Is he so bold with the strength of the ninth level? How ignorant!

The palm leaf fan in his hand fell and lightly hit the king's chest, as if playing a joke without much effort, but the latter spurted out a mouthful of dark red blood, and his breath suddenly became weak. To deal with a ninth-level wild beast, this is all you need to do, no more action is needed, otherwise it will be crushed to death.

The dragon pupils shrank, and some fear emerged. Wang thought that the strength of the ninth level was enough for him to be on equal footing with the two. After all, he was not a human being. With the physique of a wild beast, he could defeat the two powerful Taoists with the strength of the ninth level. But why was the gap between them still so big?

"Young man, you have just entered the ninth level, but you don't know that the ninth level is not the end, but the beginning. There will be many shackles waiting for you to break through in the future. But if you don't answer truthfully, don't blame me for prying into your thoughts and affecting your future!"

If there is any mistake in the process of spying on the mind, it means loss of power, or mental damage, and the ability to perceive is greatly reduced.

The room was a little hot, so Qing Xunzi took a palm-leaf fan and fanned his chest, creating a cool breeze that made him feel more comfortable. But the more relaxed he was, the more Wang dared not look down on him.

"Ask."

Wang held a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth. It seemed that this outer world did exist.

"Who was the one who asked you to seal Xia Xiao?"
