Chapter 439: A Small House at Night



"Come with me!"

The tower master sighed secretly and went in the direction he came from before. Li Lunming and Xia Xiao followed closely. When they left, they couldn't help but glance at the meteorite fragments on the island.

It took only a moment from the dissipation of the gusts to their departure. When they left, the gusts of wind broke through the sea surface for dozens of miles, creating shocking ripples. The surface temperature rose instantly, like boiling water, exploding countless water droplets, causing even the heat-loving fish to dive to the cooler bottom of the sea, not daring to stay where they were.

Suiyun was like an old man with a bad temper. He watched them leave, but he did not forget to release his power, making the surrounding sea beasts dare not approach, and the previously lost manic power was also replenished in an instant. It can be absorbed, but it does not support greed. Those who want to absorb him in the future must also adhere to this premise.

They returned along the same route, walking faster than before. Whether it was due to psychological effects or Ah Zhu was too anxious, she always felt that Xia Xiao beside her had become a furnace. Although there were no flames roaring, it still made her skin hot. Back to the dark and vast land, the tower master quietly led them to a small house at the outermost edge.

The hut was simple, but it had all the basic facilities. She led the three of them in, flicked her finger to light the lamp and said:

"This is my bottom line. I will deliver everything you need, but don't go out."

Li Lunming glanced at the vast land outside the window, wondering if it was a bit too polite to treat guests like this. The room he lived in didn't have to be luxurious or high-end, but it had to be spacious enough. However, this small house was too small, and the only bed was only big enough for Xia Xiao to lie flat. He didn't need these things yet, but he had to give Ah Zhu a place to rest.

The tower master understood the dissatisfaction in Li Lunming's eyes and said angrily:

"It's my duty to help you, but please don't break the rules of my Nine-Story Senran Tower and bring shame to the academy!"

Li Lunming didn't mean that, but he was still unhappy in his heart. However, he still bowed to the tower master and said sorry for the trouble.

The tower master left, and ointment was delivered later. The ointment here was indeed different. Even the senior doctor in the academy had difficulty in mixing it. The nourishing energy and slightly cool air contained in it could heal serious injuries. When Li Lunming waved his fingers and the ointment was evenly applied to Xia Xiao's body, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the roof.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Ah Zhu was a little curious, so she asked, and Li Lunming answered:

"She was afraid that our presence would be discovered, so she sealed us in here. The next breakthrough will probably be when we leave."

"When will we be back?"

There were many tables and chairs in the hut, but there was only one bed, so Ah Zhu could only sleep on her stomach tonight. She was not sleepy yet, sitting next to Xia Xiao, feeling the heat coming out of his body and the vitality given by Li Lunming, she did not feel any coldness, it was quite comfortable, much more comfortable than when she came here.

In fact, it was not night yet, but the room was a little dark and the surroundings were a little cold, so she had an illusion. However, this kind of place was indeed a little depressing, and Ah Zhu did not like this kind of place.

"We will return when Xia Xiao's breath stabilizes. If there is any unexpected situation, we may have to trouble the tower master."

"She looks so serious."

"As the leader of a faction, it is not okay to be so frivolous."

"Then why don't they let outsiders in?"

A teacher's job is to answer questions that students really can't think of, but Ah Zhu has many such questions. However, she has always been like this, and Li Lunming has heard of it, so he was not surprised, but explained it in detail.

"First, it's tradition. Not everyone likes crowds. Second, it's a habit. But the most important thing is the geographical location and the treasures here."

"treasure?"

"From what the tower master said before, we know that there should be a cold star equivalent to a hot star where the Nine-story Senran Tower is located. It is because of this that this place has become such a dark place and the Nine-story Senran Tower can be built. They don't allow outsiders to come, and it must be to guard the secrets about the cold star. The cold star is not like the hot star, and the Nine-story Senran Tower can roughly control its power, which means they have a method to follow. This method must not be leaked, otherwise the Nine-story Senran Tower will be in trouble."

Ah Zhu understood and nodded roughly, then asked a few more questions to kill time. Li Lunming never tires of answering questions, and his face gradually improved, because although Xia Xiao was covered in a dark green plaster like mud, the burning heat in his body gradually dissipated.

"According to this trend, if nothing unexpected happens tonight, we will be able to return to the academy early tomorrow morning."

"It will probably take him another half month to wake up."

"Yes! His trip has some limits, but it can bring many benefits."

Thinking of Xia Xiao's previous actions, Li Lunming was secretly surprised. Huo Dou's attitude was like swallowing up mountains and rivers, as if he was drinking the manic power as water. He was really crazy. Thinking about it, Li Lunming couldn't help but say that it was good to be young, but when he was young, he didn't have such courage. Some people have already revealed their extraordinary life in many things.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was really night. The night in this world was only slightly darker than the day, and the sky did not change much, but the cold was much heavier, but Li Lunming resisted it all.

Ah Zhu was lying on the table, and although she could fall asleep, she felt uncomfortable and her neck hurt, so she stood up under the candlelight, spread her and Xia Xiao's coats against the wall in front of Li Lunming, and curled up inside to sleep. She twisted her body, showing a very satisfied smile on her face, and it was still comfortable to lie down.

If Li Lunming wanted, his powerful vitality could create anything Ah Zhu wanted. Ah Zhu also knew that Li Lunming had such strength, but this was already good enough and there was no need to bother. A girl with Ah Zhu's looks could be called a princess, but her movements of spreading clothes by the wall were very natural, and her movements of lying down did not seem like it was her first time doing this, and she fell asleep quickly, not deliberately showing it to Li Lunming.

The even and light snoring made Li Lunming really unable to believe that there was such a girl who was not particular about details and could endure hardships. Are those who do evil things really ugly?

Li Lunming sat at the table, watching Ah Zhu and Xia Xiao, waiting for dawn alone. He gained a lot from this trip, but the Xia Xiao he got to know was different from what many teachers said. He was indeed meticulous, and his request to see Luo Jing was smart and quick. But when he absorbed the manic power before, it was too risky. Was it because he had been with him for too short a time, or was he just showing one side of himself? Li Lunming thought it was the latter, so he thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would go out with Xia Xiao again and perform a few tasks.

The lights in the hut were not turned off all night, but only the tower master and the servant who delivered the things knew who lived inside. Although the servant was old and talkative, he knew the rules, but he could not resist the soft and hard persuasion of the young man and let the secret slip. But when the three outsiders' words reached Luo Jing's ears, the appearance of Xia Xiao and the other two instantly appeared in his mind.

The servants knew they were doing something wrong, and when the juniors asked again, they only got angry and kept silent. The juniors didn't know whether the three were men or women, but Luo Jing sat by the bed and looked in the direction outside the town.

Luo Jing was not bold enough to run to see Xia Xiao, and she had no reason to do so. But a determination in her heart made her look outside the town. She looked for a long time.

Someone appeared in the dark room without anyone noticing. She stood behind Luo Jing without making any sound. Luo Jing, who was in a daze, didn't notice anything until the elusive tower master spoke:

"We will enter the five-story pagoda tomorrow."

Luo Jing was shocked, not because of the words, but because she was discovered. So, no matter how difficult it was to enter the five-story tower, or even if it was life-threatening, she nodded resolutely, as if to agree.

The newly opened flowers were destroyed, but for Luo Jing, this was the most normal thing. She did not get angry, but felt that she was really wrong. For a seedling that should not bloom, a small bud is a sin, let alone a real bloom. And even if it blooms, it will not produce any fruit.

“Be prepared.”

After the tower master said this, he was ready to leave, but the light in Luo Jing's eyes suddenly became strange, like a kind of madness. With his back to the window, it was dark outside and inside. So Luo Jing turned around and put on a black robe, covering his body in a deeper black again in the dark night.

"Master, come in now!"

The five-story tower has strict requirements. With Luo Jing's current strength, going in is like being tortured. But if she can persevere, she will also have a qualitative improvement. She stood behind the tower master, ready to deal with everything. Although the tower master hesitated, he did not stop and took her to the fifth floor of the tower.
