When Azhu was asleep, Xia Xiao was also asleep. When Xia Xiao woke up, Azhu was still asleep. She looked like a piglet when she was sleeping, which made Xia Xiao want to go out, but he came over to look at her.

Longgang is a little cool all year round, and it's still evening now, so there's even more chill. Xia Xiao tucked Ah Zhu's quilt in, and he moved very gently. Ah Zhu didn't wake up, and she looked like she was immersed in a thousand delicacies, with a little saliva at the corner of her mouth. This was the finishing touch, and Xia Xiao smiled even though he didn't see her cute look with her sleepy eyes open.

The curtain was opened, and night was approaching. The guard at the door wanted to support Xia Xiao, but was rejected.

"Third Master, are you hungry? There is meat today. I will bring it to you."

"Wait until Ah Zhu wakes up before eating. Go and have a rest. You don't have to stand anymore."

The simple guards felt that Xia Xiao was not cold at all. Instead, they felt that he could advance and retreat, and had a special kind of gentleness. Such a person was a real man.

After the guards left, Xia Xiao was the only one sitting by the tent, watching the sunset in the sky. Xia Xiao still had the scene in his mind, where the wind dragon in the vast sky was frozen, time was paused, and everything seemed to be controlled. Then, the wind and clouds changed, and time accelerated.

This was the first time Xia Xiao had seen that kind of move, and he still remembered how he felt under it. The sky seemed different from the surroundings, but also seemed the same. However, his skin felt like it was immersed in water, washed by a not-so-violent current, which made him feel tired from the initial sense of wonder. In the end, he fell headfirst onto Si Tianhua's back and returned to the camp in a daze.

Xia Xiao still remembered Ah Zhu sitting by his bed, watching him lie down after his wounds were bandaged, and she also remembered asking him in tears if anything would happen to him. Those things appeared in Xia Xiao's mind like a dream, but they were so real that he had an indescribable feeling. In short, it felt magical, like a dream that didn't exist.

The sunset gradually darkened. Ah Zhu pulled open the door curtain and saw Xia Xiao sitting on one side. She also came over. She seemed to be still asleep, so she knew Xia Xiao was not there, so she went out to find him. But after finding him, she stopped running around. Xia Xiao sat on a small bench, which belonged to the guard, while Ah Zhu sat casually on the ground, leaning against him.

Ah Zhu felt weak all over, and she didn't think about what to do if Xia Xiao pushed her away. She just leaned towards him out of habit. The latter let her lean on him and listened to him ask:

"Your bones are all broken, how can you still walk?"

"It's okay, it will be fine in a few days."

Ah Zhu stopped asking questions. Even though she still had many questions in her mind, she was very tired now. Like a weak vine, she could only climb up the tree trunk. Following Xia Xiao's gaze, Ah Zhu also looked towards the horizon. She was not looking for answers to her questions like Xia Xiao, but was looking down.

After a long time, the sky turned dark blue, and the surroundings were not clear, like a kind of depression. Xia Xiao suddenly remembered that the girl sitting next to him had extraordinary abilities. No one could see through her, and she could see many incredible things. Just like she said to herself, she could stand on the fifth floor of the small white building and see the whole town, but others could not. In fact, Xia Xiao couldn't do it either. Standing on the fifth floor, he could only see the bottom of the building, but the distance and the town were all in a thin mist.

Maybe it was out of passion or curiosity, Xia Xiao asked Ah Zhu:

"Have you seen any special existence?"

"Before?"

Xia Xiao nodded, and seeing Ah Zhu turned his clear eyes, he thought for a long time before organizing his words.

"I saw a man."

"What does he look like?"

"I couldn't see clearly. Anyway, there were a lot of colors around. She was standing inside. It should be a girl. I saw she was wearing a skirt."

Who could it be?

Xia Xiao's first reaction was the Great Wilderness Consciousness. Such a magical existence was always hard to find. But he had seen her before. She appeared with silence, barefoot, pure and innocent like a saint. But what were the many colors? Was it the mist formed by the vitality or just an illusion?

It was hard for Xia Xiao to know, but he had to think about it. Being rescued inexplicably always felt incredible.

It has been more than seven years since Xia Xiao came to the Great Wilderness. Although he has encountered many difficulties and resolved them all miraculously, at the beginning he had his master and Shu Shuang, as well as the five elements in his body, and later he relied on his broadsword and the academy. How could there be a power that came out of nowhere to help him?

The more he thought about it, the bigger the mystery became, and the harder it was to find a solution. Fortunately, Xia Xiao stopped thinking about it. He had one more thing on his mind, and he just walked forward in a daze, as if he was pushed by an invisible big hand, forcing him to move forward.

If there hadn't been the seal of the king in the Wild Beast Forest, Xia Xiao's path would have been very straight. He walked straight from one end to the other, starting from the Great Wilderness and ending in an unknown place.

Xia Xiao was surrounded by fog, and there were countless opponents in it. Some could only push him a little way and then disappear. Some were always behind him, but only appeared at the critical moment and pushed him hard, and the rest of the time they just observed from a distance.

In front... it seems like there is a huge abyss!

A huge mouth that could swallow everything suddenly appeared in Xia Xiao's eyes, which made him shudder. Ah Zhu was shocked by his trembling body and asked what was wrong. Xia Xiao shook his head and hesitated to say anything.

"Hurry up and tell me, you're making me anxious!"

Azhu patted him, but Xia Xiao could only utter two words.

"I'm hungry."

"Now that you mention it, I'm hungry too."

Ah Zhu's stomach growled, so he stood up immediately and wanted to go find food with Xia Xiao. Ah Zhu was easy to deceive, and after being pulled up by his hand, Xia Xiao stopped thinking about the mystery. He was afraid that he would go crazy before he found the answer. There were many mysteries, and the only way to solve them was to climb to the top of the mountain. No matter how long it took, Xia Xiao did not change his mind.

"Just in time."

The guard came over with a basket in his hand, smiling. Ah Zhu was so excited when she smelled the fragrance that she ran to the guard and asked him what was in it. She couldn't wait any longer.

"Stew meat and ribs tonight, and rice."

“No wonder it smells so good.”

Ah Zhu jumped up and down excitedly and lifted the door curtain for the guard, who then arranged two large bowls, two small bowls and a small plate, put the basket aside, and prepared to go out.

"Master and Miss, please enjoy your meal. I'll be waiting outside the door. You can find me if you need anything."

"Have you eaten yet?"

In the candlelight, you can see a large bowl full of meat and ribs, with potatoes and green beans as decoration. Although Xia Xiao is entitled to this kind of treatment, he did not forget to ask the guard. The latter patted his stomach and said that he came here only after eating. Although it was hard to take care of Xia Xiao, a superior, he might benefit from it. He ate as much meat as others.

Seeing him leave with a smile on his face, Xia Xiao sat down. Ah Zhu had already served the meal and looked at Xia Xiao eagerly, as if waiting for him to give orders.

"Why are you so good?"

"I've been very good, can I eat now?"

"Eat, eat, my saliva is flowing into the bowl."

"Okay."

With the delicious food, Azhu didn't want to argue with Xia Xiao, but she gave the first piece of meat to Xia Xiao and started to eat the meat with rice, starting this luxurious dinner.

The meat was stewed well, and the aroma permeated the meat. A mouthful of it was filled with fragrant and hot soup, which made Ah Zhu, who loved food, feel like he was flying. Compared with the steamed buns and egg drop soup yesterday, the spareribs were simply more delicious than any other delicacies. After swallowing several mouthfuls, Ah Zhu asked Xia Xiao:

"Why is it so abundant today?"

"After burning other people's food, I must eat better myself and make them angry at the same time."

"Then let's burn it next time!"

Ah Zhu seemed very excited, but Xia Xiao's eyes behind the candle were full of disgust.

"The Southern merchants are not stupid. We can't burn them, but we can play with them."

"How do you play?"

While Xia Xiao was chewing the meat on the bone, he told Ah Zhu about his plan. He was not impatient this time. Last time, he did not realize his emotional changes. But he had to admit that he mistook Ah Zhu for Shu Shuang, so there was a gap. But when eating, he would never make a mistake, because Shu Shuang did not have the appetite of Ah Zhu.

After hearing the plan, Ah Zhu and Xia Xiao smiled knowingly, the former not forgetting to say, "You are really bad." Xia Xiao picked up the kimchi from the small dish and took two big mouthfuls with the rice. But he is bad, the kind of bad in his heart, which can make Nan Shang feel humiliated and even crazy.

"Why don't you eat meat? Eat more."

Xia Xiao refused to take the meat from Ah Zhu's chopsticks, but Ah Zhu insisted on feeding him. Ah Zhu held Xia Xiao's chin and stuffed the meat into his mouth.

"Eat more meat, and your injury will heal faster."

Ah Zhu kept muttering as she put some meat on Xia Xiao's plate and added more rice. Xia Xiao frowned at Ah Zhu's expression, but when he saw that she was sure that he didn't want rice and meat and poured them together, he finally understood what she meant. Xia Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of rice and said unhappily:

"If you want to eat more, just say so. Why do you have to do this?"

"That also has to keep you full."
