In a daze, Ah Zhu woke up.

It was still dark around her. She felt around and called Xia Xiao's name, but she couldn't find him. A vital energy appeared on the snow-white arm, illuminating the surroundings, turning it into a pit filled with stars. The starlight illuminated the surroundings of the empty space, but the passage formed by vines on one side was as tall as a person, which immediately attracted Ah Zhu's attention.

Looking at the vine passage that was still halfway under the pit, Ah Zhu leaned over to it. It was full of firefly-like light spots, which made his eyes brighten. He felt it was novel and shocking, and it was extremely magical.

She had seen such a vine hut once before, but the cramped little corner last time was obviously not as grand as this one. On the other side of the dreamlike fluorescent light, a young man was still busy. It was not difficult to create a simple underground world. But he raised his head, his fingers twirled, and the tiny vines that emerged from his head blossomed into countless delicate flowers.

The flowers made of vitality illuminated this special room, and the earth pit behind Ah Zhu was quietly blocked by the raised stones. When Ah Zhu's eyes were full of splendor, Xia Xiao looked back at her, and their eyes met with tenderness.

“This is a gift for you.”

“So beautiful.”

She covered her mouth, not knowing what Xia Xiao was up to. This man who often walked on a tightrope at high altitudes always survived every thrilling situation, and brought her tenderness after every disaster. In the bright room, there were some fruits and food. Ah Zhu had said that she was hungry before, and Xia Xiao remembered it.

Moved and grateful, Ah Zhu opened his soft arms, walked forward and hugged Xia Xiao, and the dry wood instantly fell into the arms of fire. He kissed him, wishing he could take him for himself.

Xia Xiao responded actively, wanting to taste every inch of Ah Zhu's skin. They hugged each other tightly, and put their hands into their clothes during the entanglement. If they continued like this, Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu might have sex today. But Xia Xiao finally stopped, which was very abrupt compared to the previous sex.

With their foreheads close together, Xia Xiao's heavy breathing gradually became steady. Ah Zhu asked him what was wrong, and the previous action stopped abruptly, which was very inappropriate. It was not the first time that she sent herself to her, not for some purpose, but simply because she felt that Xia Xiao was worth it.

Love is hard to talk about, but she always wanted to give herself to Xia Xiao. She believed in Xia Xiao and tried to test him. But Xia Xiao always let her go. Later, she stopped testing him and was willing to untie the last lace on her smooth skin with a blushing face, but Xia Xiao stopped again.

Shaking his head, Xia Xiao gradually calmed down, even a little serious. He didn't want to do that, but he felt that his first time with Ah Zhu shouldn't be in such a place. Xia Xiao still felt that Ah Zhu was not suitable for such a place. No matter how beautiful the decoration and disguise were, they couldn't overcome the embarrassing reality that this was a cave. Such an ordinary and simple place should not be exchanged for the most precious things.

Xia Xiao didn't know much about etiquette, but he wanted to give Ah Zhu a stable life. He told Ah Zhu all his thoughts, and Ah Zhu laughed at him while listening, saying that if he didn't take action, someone else would get there first. What if this happened again?

Sitting next to Ah Zhu, Xia Xiao peeled fruit for him while remaining silent, and finally said it was impossible. Xia Xiao did not swear again this time, not even a promise, but after finishing dinner slowly, they chose to practice in this Xuantian Cave full of fluorescent light.

This is like reading scriptures in a busy city, but Xia Xiao and Azhu don't want to stay in Yunguo for long. Xia Xiao wants to know the answer as soon as possible, and Azhu feels uncomfortable. Although such a room is comfortable, no one wants to be in fear and hide their lives.

She changed into the clothes Xia Xiao got from somewhere, and the beautiful Xiuhe dress was hung aside. Ah Zhu, who was wearing it, always accompanied Xia Xiao. When Xia Xiao made a seal, she also made a seal to absorb the vitality to nourish herself. When Xia Xiao removed the seal and went out to watch the moon, Ah Zhu followed him, sitting on the tree branch and watching Xia Xiao at the top of the tree for half the night.

Since leaving the Devil's Plain of Gou Longbang, Xia Xiao and Azhu have been hiding in the dark. Sometimes they even hate themselves, but because of each other's emotions, the accumulated negative emotions always dissipate with a smile and a bite of meat. Then they continue to devote themselves to watching the moon, more devout than the believers who worship the gods.

Whenever Ah Zhu had free time, she would pray involuntarily in her mind. She hoped that Xia Xiao could find the answer smoothly and then return to the academy with her.

In half a year, they will finish their life in the academy, most of them will leave, a few will stay. At that time, the academy will have new visitors, and they will no longer be the main body. Ah Zhu wants to go back before that. The mountain with peach blossoms, fried duck leg rice and big wonton meatballs has become a special existence in her heart, comparable to a small mountain village, or even beyond a small mountain village.

The strange feeling always made her miss the college very much. Every morning, after watching the moon, Xia Xiao took Ah Zhu back to the underground cave, and she would talk about the college when she fell asleep. Although it was not a sentimental word, just another deep fried duck leg rice, it showed her longing and persistence for the college.

Xia Xiao listened, looked at her sleeping face, and couldn't help being intoxicated. Xia Xiao wanted to go back to the academy, where he had no worries about food and clothing, and could do what he liked. When he was tired, he could go to the peach forest to drink, and when he had enough fun, he could go to the mountain road to practice. It was very simple there, and it was extremely convenient in every aspect, so it made generations of people care about it.

Before the time of separation came, Xia Xiao was already feeling sad about the separation. He felt that he could not go back. They had been away for more than three months, and the world was about to usher in winter again. Winter was closely connected with late autumn, and seemed particularly long, several times longer than spring and summer. This period was the most difficult to get through.

Every winter is an experience for Xia Xiao, but whether he can turn the experience into rebirth depends on whether his nirvana is successful.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Xiao exhaled very softly because he was afraid of disturbing Ah Zhu. He felt that he should apologize to Ah Zhu, and even felt that he was a jerk at the time. He shouldn't have dragged Ah Zhu into this. Even if the aura couldn't be concealed, he should have found Hei Huang instead of Ah Zhu. Xia Xiao's selfishness harmed a girl who should have enjoyed a peaceful and beautiful life at this age.

Even in the small mountain village, Ah Zhu never worried about food. Just like grandma said, they have been farmers for generations, it is normal to eat poorly, but they will definitely not be hungry. But now, in order to fill his stomach, Xia Xiao has to go to the town once every two days. Because he is afraid of being exposed, he can't go too often.

Let's not talk about the small families, but Xia Xiao often took a few melons and cakes from the big families, and occasionally some fruits were considered good. Xia Xiao never failed, but he couldn't help feeling disappointed. If he was alone, it would be fine, but he felt a little sorry for taking Ah Zhu to such a miserable state. It felt like there was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

"Why don't you eat?"

Ah Zhu used a small stick to stir the charcoal fire, and was glad that he and Xia Xiao were both practitioners. Otherwise, if they made a fire in such a place, they would be suffocated to death. It would be different if they could use the wind to roll them up, pass through the small hole on the side, and send them directly to the outside to dissipate into the air.

"After practicing for a while, I will be able to reach Qulun. The demand won't be as great as before."

"If you don't eat it, I will."

Ah Zhu smiled innocently, breaking open the bubbling sweet potato, while Xia Xiao hugged her. Although he didn't say anything, he just leaned his face against Ah Zhu's back, but she had already swallowed the sweet potato, turned her face away, and exhaled a breath full of sweet potato flavor, but the very gentle comforting voice made Xia Xiao feel warm in his heart.

"It's okay. Grandma said that hardship is the norm in life. It would be boring if we ate meat and fish every day. When we leave Yun Country, we will go to Nan Country. We will have seafood and fish feasts, and some barbecue."

"No problem, we can drink and eat at the same time."

In many cases, it was the boy who comforted the girl, because the latter was more emotionally fragile. When the situation turned around, it meant that the boy was about to give up. At this time, the girl who was favored imitated the boy and comforted him, telling him that everything would be fine. Xia Xiao also held that thought in mind, and started practicing again after waking up from a nap.

Whenever he was in trouble, Xia Xiao's urgency for strength was the strongest. The vitality and life energy absorbed by the demonic energy brought him some help, making the fruit of the third round of fruit gradually grow, from a green egg to a slightly red and astringent color.

Whenever he was not practicing, Xia Xiao would go to the Earth Dimension. Whether it was Ju Mang or Huo Dou Xiao Yu, or the powerful Golden Spirit Beast, they all brought Xia Xiao great help. What would this Earth Spirit Beast bring? Would that little snake that looked like a stone grow into a Sky-reaching Rock Python?

Based on the characteristics of the various spirit beasts, Xia Xiao felt that the earth spirit beast would not be that simple, at least it would not be just a snake. Because of this, Xia Xiao was even more excited and stood in the stone forest for a long time. He looked at the stone forest, as if he had some insights, thinking about the domineering scene of the five spirit beasts appearing together.

Xia Xiao often went to various spaces. The seed created by Ju Mang was still floating on the altar. Xia Xiao wondered why it hadn't been planted and grown into a seedling. But then he thought that he was not in a good condition now. Maybe he had to wait until Qulun could drive so much energy to turn Ju Mang from a seed into a seedling, and then grow into a very thick vine that climbed up to the sky.

No matter how long the process is, there is still expectation. Xia Xiao is waiting, Xiao Ran is also waiting. One is waiting for his strength to grow, and the other is waiting for Ju Mang to reappear in the world. Their respective expectations make them more resolute, and they will not slow down because of the setbacks in front of them, and they will always look forward.

Xiao Ran followed Xia Xiao's shadow, and she also comforted Xia Xiao not to be depressed. Xia Xiao would be depressed, but he dared not sink. Azhu waited for him to explore the bright moon and leave the Cloud Kingdom. Xiao Ran waited for him to plant Ju Mang, Ju Mang waited for him to help her revive, the Golden Spirit Beast waited for him to return to the right path, and Xiaoyu waited for him to get rid of fear.

Finally, Xia Xiao sat in the volcano, looking at his old friend, his heart was heavy. He admitted that he used to dislike Huodou, but now the latter has become another pillar of his support, allowing him to face any difficulties ahead.

After every disaster, Xia Xiao would have a little desire to escape. He jumped into the huge volcanic magma and swam downwards in the heat. He was aimless, just wanting to have no purpose and rest for a while without being so tired. He didn't know where he was swimming to, but Xia Xiao was sweating. Then, a powerful claw slapped the back of his head.

"You bastard, it's almost time to faint!"

Xia Xiao opened his eyes with a bitter smile. Although he had only been in Yun Country for a week, he was not here for tourism and did not have that much time to waste, so he went out to watch the moon at a suitable time.
