Chapter 177 Like a Child



After finishing their morning training, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang sat together on a stone bench on one side of the square and ate breakfast.

The college cafeteria was very small, but the meals for 400 people were arranged just right. At their current level, they still couldn't leave the five grains. Even if they became stronger and their level was higher in the future, who would give up one of the great pleasures in life? Being able to eat, and eating delicious food, was a kind of enjoyment in itself.

The rice balls are filled with peanuts and pickles, which are slightly salty but very tasty. The peanuts are very crisp, and the pickles are crunchy when chewed. Together with the snow-white rice that wraps them, the mellow aroma lingers between the tongue and teeth. Paired with a cup of stomach-warming hot tea, it is simply too enjoyable.

Xia Xiao hadn't eaten with Shu Shuang for a long time. The latter swallowed the last bite of rice ball with a very heartwarming smile. They had plenty of time, they could watch the morning light here and go to school when the bell rang.

"I have a good appetite today."

"Because you are here, every bite of rice ball is delicious."

Shu Shuang smiled, adding a touch of fragrance to this flowerless summer. Xia Xiao asked:

"What about when I'm not here?"

"I miss you when you are not around. When I miss you, every bite of rice ball is delicious."

"What if one day I am far away from you?"

Shu Shuang hugged Xia Xiao's arm and said as if swearing:

"Then I will go find you. As long as I think of you, I can complete the journey no matter how far it is."

"Such a sweet mouth."

The quiet and sweet girl pouted her lips, and Xia Xiao leaned forward to kiss her. Many people in the square were envious when they saw her, and among them was Wang Ling!

As a prince, Wang Ling rarely envied others, because he had everything he wanted. He never lacked women. If he hadn't kept himself clean, he would have three thousand concubines and sons everywhere. But at this moment, he really envied Xia Xiao.

Wang Ling smacked his lips and frowned in confusion. Why was Xia Xiao still so sweet with Shu Shuang at this moment? Heard that he woke up last night, so he should know that he would definitely come to his house at noon today. At that time, all the students in the college would gather together again, but why was he still so calm? And was he so affectionate with Shu Shuang?

When Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang returned to the school, Wang Ling had already left. The calmer Xia Xiao acted, the more manic he became, but now was not the time to act like that. He would go crazy after two classes.

Because the content of each class was different, Xia Xiao, who had not been to class for two days, was not affected at all. He answered questions as usual and his performance was no different from usual.

After class, everyone came to the square, and they were in perfect harmony. While guessing what Xia Xiao was doing, they watched the actions of others. There had been a lot of noise in Daxia over the past two days, and this time it would definitely involve some people. At least Shelie Nanguo would not sit idly by, but the more people involved, the more lively it would be.

Although he was in the same school as Xia Xiao, Chang Renjie rushed down from the fifth floor, sat on a stone bench on one side of the square, waiting to watch the show.

“There are so many people.”

Xia Xiao walked behind the crowd. These guys were always one step ahead and wanted to see all the new things.

In the crowd, Wang Ling straightened his clothes, inevitably excited. In the same place, he picked up what he had thrown away!

The eye contact at this moment was inevitably awkward, but Wang Ling acted calmly. Everyone knew that Xia Xiao lost to him in Xiaoxilou. If he had any self-awareness, he should not have waited for him to speak before taking action. It is always more decent to be proactive than to be passive!

Walking to the front of the crowd, Xia Xiao looked around and decided to end this matter like this!

Xia Xiao bent his knees, not wanting to waste time. Shu Shuang did not stop him, which surprised Su Huan and the others. They could guess what Xia Xiao was thinking, but when they were in Wanling City, Shu Shuang did not back down in the face of Si Ying. Now that he was watching him kneel down? They always thought there would be a reversal, but Xia Xiao had already lowered his body, and Shu Shuang still did not move.

Xia Xiao's knees were very heavy, as if he was determined to do this. But could Wang Ling really bear this kneeling?

He should have said something to stop her, after all, Xia Xiao had already intended to do so. He came here without hesitation, and this open-mindedness was enough to prove his generosity. But Wang Ling would not interfere. He was just in a happy mood, staring at her, waiting for Xia Xiao's knees to touch the ground completely.

It was very fast, less than an inch away. If it was faster, it would hit the ground and break the thin grass.

Wang Ling was like a child full of expectations, feeling anxious. But the grass under Xia Xiao's knees was really bent. It grew from the cracks in the bricks and was born without a broad world. But it should be thankful because it witnessed a stubborn and strong person who was willing to accept defeat. There were more things in the gaps between the grass than others thought.

What was Xia Xiao thinking in such a hurry? Chang Renjie felt that this moment was extremely long, but when he looked at Shu Shuang, her clear eyes seemed to be waiting, and she also knew that Xia Xiao was waiting.

The thin grass was folded together, and a few gusts of wind blew past Shu Shuang who was standing next to Xia Xiao. Her bangs were messy in the wind, but there was some joy in her eyes.

It was only a moment after leaving the ground when Xia Xiao's body stopped.

If they really did take action, Su Huan and Si Qingling would know it, but how could they be the ones to take action?

The already silent square became even quieter, without a single sound, because a black dragon appeared in the sky. The black dragon was so huge, its wings blocked out the sun and the sky, and the dragon's might was released, covering the entire square. The wind was roaring, destroying the current tranquility.

Theatergoers always like things that are reasonable yet beyond imagination.

Under the shadow of the dragon, Tianming stood behind Xia Xiao, holding his shoulders with his powerful hands. On the right side, Mu Lin held up Xia Xiao's arm, as if to support him. Qin Feng grabbed Xia Xiao's left thigh, preventing it from completely touching the ground.

"Did you expect me to take action?"

Tianming asked, but Xia Xiao did not answer. He just looked at Wang Ling in front of him, not surprised or surprised by the situation at this time.

"Xia Xiao, don't you understand the principle of accepting defeat when you gamble?"

Wang Ling began, the child who had been waiting for two days did not want his wish to be dashed. I don't know since when, he lost the demeanor of a prince, and instead wore gold and silver like a farmer in the market, bargaining with others for the old man who was less than half a copper coin. But this was all forced by Xia Xiao, he was too popular!

"I don't understand!"

The answer is destiny. Someone like Xia Xiao who fell into the holy spring should not kneel at this time.

"Black Dragon, you have nothing to do here!"

Wang Ling walked forward from the center of the square to Xia Xiao, aggressively all the way, attracting everyone's attention. It will be another fight! But why did the three people of Tianming move forward? Because they were in the same dormitory?

"You are the one who chose the challenge, and you are the one who loses. Why don't you kneel down?"

"Already on his knees."

Xia Xiao said calmly, as if explaining the facts. His right knee did touch the ground, but Wang Ling was not satisfied. He had other intentions. It didn't matter whether Xia Xiao knelt down or not, the main thing was to be embarrassed. But the current appearance was not what he expected.

"You farted!"

Wang Ling cursed, and a dark aura rolled over the earth, causing the heaven and earth to roar.

This is the ultimate dragon power, which can only be released by the purest royal wild beasts. It is also a summons, which makes the nine wild beasts come behind Tianming. Because this is the first time that the forest has sent students like this, they are very united outside. One person calls, and nine people must respond, not to mention Tianming's call!

Many people guessed that Xia Xiao would not kneel down peacefully, after all, his status and position were there. But the people of Daxia did not take action before, so now it is time for them to stand up.

Si Qingling and Su Huan led the Daxia people to stand behind Xia Xiao. Then, people from the Adventurer's Guild, Shelie Country, and Nan Country all walked out of the crowd.

As junior presidents and princes, Long Suihong, Yin Zhiping, and Xie Yi should have taken action long ago, but they hesitated and missed the opportunity. Now that others have stood up, they must also express their opinions.

Suddenly, the square was divided into three parts. Daxia and Nanshang were facing each other. The former had the help of the forest, the trade union and Shelienan, while the latter seemed lonely. Tianmeng and other four countries stood around and watched the show, but with such a gap, Nanshang had no choice but to give up. Ten wild beasts plus a hundred people, Nanshang was no match.

Wang Ling knew that Xia Xiao was not easy to deal with, but he still gritted his teeth and did not hide his hatred. He seemed to seize the opportunity to kill Xia Xiao in the wilderness.

Everyone was waiting for Xia Xiao to speak, but he knelt quietly. No matter who tried to stop him, no matter if he knelt on the ground or not, he had to finish the act.

"Isn't it time to get up?"

Tianming was a little impatient. When he pulled Xia Xiao, he still didn't move. When the time was right, Xia Xiao stood up again.

"I'm done kneeling."

After the calm voice, Xia Xiao stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

"Xia Xiao, you are too arrogant!"

Wang Ling's words were somewhat powerless, because Xia Xiao was not moved at all, and did not even reply. Nothing could humiliate Wang Ling more than being ignored. With a strong sense of self-esteem, he immediately chopped the ground as he watched Xia Xiao leave.

The ill-fated square broke apart again, and flames shot up into the sky during the commotion, causing many people to be afraid. Wang Ling clenched his fists, feeling angry.

With his back to the square, Xia Xiao let the flames burn. He stood beside the Qingwa Building and said to the crowd:

"Thank you everyone, please go back!"

Xia Xiao held Shu Shuang and didn't give anyone a chance to speak. He would remember the favor, and he would definitely not stand idly by if they were in trouble in the future. But he didn't want to listen to the flattery of some people, because those words were bullshit.

Seeing the two people walking towards the pond, Tianming, Daxia and others also left.

The Adventurer's Guild usually never tried to make friends with anyone. They had a strong sense of pride and left in a hurry at this time. However, Yin Zhiping from Shelie Kingdom and Xie Yi from Nan Kingdom stood by the building after their compatriots left.

Yin Zhiping was short and had a rough face. The people of the island country called Shelie were not tall. In comparison, Yin Zhiping was already the tallest man in the country. But next to Xie Yi, he was still half a head shorter. The south is a water town, which has beautiful women and gentle gentlemen. Xie Yi, who has skin like a woman and is elegant, is that kind of person.

When he spoke, Xie Yi showed the intention of a gentleman who was looking for a beautiful lady.

"The emperor has approved it and is preparing to issue the marriage certificate under the moon. I wonder who will marry into our Southern Kingdom in half a year?"

"The only princess of Daxia is dead. Next, it will be the daughter of a loyal general."

"The cultivators will definitely not be sent to our Southern Country. It depends on the people who stay in the capital of Daxia."

Although it was a major event, Xie Yi had no expectations at all. It was all a political marriage, meant to further strengthen the relationship between the Southern Kingdom and Daxia.

Compared to Daxia, the South Country is still a little backward, and many areas are rainforests and water towns. But the current situation in Daxia is too serious, and there is even a possibility of national destruction. You can imagine the danger of this political marriage.

"Do you think Xia Xiao can turn the tide?"

Xie Yi was not sure, but the evaluation he gave was not low.

"He has already shown his potential and has a bright future. But three years is too long and it is hard to predict how high he can reach. But it is certain that he will reach a higher level than us."

As a prince of a country, Yin Zhiping thought he was unruly and difficult to tame, but in front of Xia Xiao, he had to be submissive. Since the day before yesterday, he had also sat on the futon, but he was extremely embarrassed and didn't see anything.
