"Senior, what's wrong?"

Before the old man opened his mouth, Xia Xiao had already asked a question. As the Heavenly King, he was the strongest fighter besides the Palace Master. He was always steady and calm, but now he seemed so flustered and hurried. Xia Xiao was naturally curious. The old man did not make any unnecessary polite remarks, nor did he explain his recklessness. He simply asked:

"Traveling with the beasts in the wilderness, have any of you signed a contract with the whales?"

whale……

The first person Xia Xiao thought of was, of course, Ah Zhu. The latter immediately locked his sights on her, because among all the people from the Great Wilderness who came to Xishu, only her contracted beast was a whale. Just as she was about to speak, a voice came from her body, trying its best to stop her.

"No, don't tell him!"

This was Xiaodiandian's voice. He seemed very anxious and panicked at this moment, as if he had been frightened. Therefore, there was a tone of crying and begging in his words. Xia Xiao naturally could not hear such a voice, but she did not say it directly, because she wanted to give Ah Zhu some time to react. But when she went to see her, she forced herself to be calm and looked at Xia Xiao, and then said very naturally:

"No, what's wrong?"

In front of Ah Zhu, the old man did not dare to activate his energy. In fact, even if he activated his energy, he would not be able to sense that Ah Zhu was lying. Xia Xiao was caught in the middle, and his first reaction was to ask the same question as Ah Zhu. The old man murmured absentmindedly, was he too sensitive? Or was that scene not related to them at all?

"strangeness……"

The old man did not answer, or to be more precise, he did not hear it, and then he said "excuse me" as if to apologize. Then he quietly went back to the door, which surprised Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu. It was a normal and peaceful life, but suddenly something like this happened, which made them extremely curious. What happened?

Xia Xiao turned around and found that Ah Zhu was also a little bit abnormal, and asked what was wrong. Ah Zhu was affected by the Xingyang in her body and immediately became sensitive. When Xia Xiao touched her little face, she immediately broke out in sweat, as if she was doing something she didn't want to do. The anxiety, timidity, and the heaviness brought by the mission instantly hit her heart, making her eyes tear up, which was very pitiful.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ah Zhu like this, how could Xia Xiao feel at ease? So he kept asking questions, but Ah Zhu felt a headache and tears fell down his face.

"Don't ask. Don't ask."

Azhu's impatient voice was filled with pain, and he even fell to the ground, holding his head with both hands, as if he was suffering from some kind of torture.

Ah Zhu was usually in good health. In her words, children who grew up in the mountains always had a tenacious vitality, like weeds that could not be burned out, and would grow as soon as the spring breeze blew. They were very different from potted plants in the garden, and they would be fine even without watering or sun exposure. But at this moment, she rolled over in pain, as if she was being disturbed by some unknown force.

Xia Xiao was extremely helpless, watching Ah Zhu, not knowing how to start, and could only stay by her side. Seeing his beloved suffering, Xia Xiao's nose was sore, and a curtain of water covered his eyes. He wished that he was the one lying on the ground in torture. The only one who could help Ah Zhu now was the Heavenly King at the door, but because of Ah Zhu's answer before, Xia Xiao, who had stood up and walked to the palace door, walked back.

Waiting like this was not a solution. Just when Xia Xiao was at a loss and could only look for his senior, Ah Zhu's mind was no longer filled with the pain of being unconscious. Seeing Ah Zhu stop rolling around, Xia Xiao carried her to the bed, but her brows were still furrowed, as if she was still feeling unwell.

Ah Zhu felt as if his body was pierced by thousands of steel needles, but he slowly opened his eyes and said to Xia Xiao:

"Xingyang is a little emotional, I'll go and comfort him."

"Okay, I'll go ask the senior what he meant by that question he asked before."

Ah Zhu nodded, her small hands tightly grasped the bed sheet, and immersed herself in it again. This time it was not as simple as calming Xingyang down, but to find out the cause of the matter.

Xia Xiao was quicker than Ah Zhu. He opened the door and sat next to the old man. In order to hide Ah Zhu's current situation, Xia Xiao smiled and washed away all the tears on his face. He was no different from before, and there was only curiosity in his words.

"Senior, you asked about the whale before. Is there something? I am really curious and want to ask."

"No need to call me so strangely, just call me Ma Dan."

After hearing this, Xia Xiao repeated it twice in his mind and said Uncle Ma with a smile, which made him smile politely. Xia Xiao wanted to know what happened, so he kept looking at Ma Dan. The latter was 100,000 years old, and his determination could consume the brilliance of the sun and the moon, but Xia Xiao was related to Ah Zhu after all.

Therefore, he did not hide anything, but before he told the story, he talked about the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Palace. Xia Xiao was also willing to listen, because to him, an outsider, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Palace were extremely mysterious. It was a good thing to hear some introduction at this time. Only by being patient could we know why he brought up the word whale.

If so, we can understand why Xingyang can cause such a big reaction in Ah Zhu. This is the first time, it has never happened before.

"During the process of building the Heavenly Palace, we encountered a lot of resistance. The four strongest people among them were the so-called Four Heavenly Kings. At that time, the prosperous continent was divided by the four of us, and each of us occupied one side. Among them, the East Continent Witch, Zhao Ning, was located on the eastern island. She held the continent in one hand and the ocean in the other. She was in charge of everything. At first, the Heavenly Palace did not dare to enter her territory, otherwise there would be thunder and rain. The South Sea Evil Buddha, the Elephant Lord, has the ability to control the minds of others. He gained hundreds of millions of disciples and lived a life of luxury all day long."

"The Sword Saint of the North is obsessed with swords and has the ability to slash the sky. He has controlled his land for tens of thousands of years and never gave up an inch. Compared to them, I can hardly control the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Dragon, nor do I have the power to control people, and I am not good at using swords, but I have a pair of eyes that can see the flaws of heaven and earth. I can tell the weaknesses of the enemy at a glance. At the same time, this pair of eyes also has the ability to detect the future."

When Ma Dan looked up and met Xia Xiao's eyes, the latter noticed that the senior in front of him, who was called the Heavenly King, was indeed worthy of his reputation. In his eyes, there was an extremely deep color, as if looking at the clear night sky. There were countless stars, which immediately attracted Xia Xiao. He was deeply trapped in it and began to drift.

When Ma Dan put away his magical powers, Xia Xiao, who had disappeared in the sea of ​​stars, was able to return to the sunset and landed in the wheel tracks behind the four-winged Pegasus. He said so much, of course, not really introducing the Four Heavenly Kings to Xia Xiao, otherwise these few words would not be enough to show how powerful they are. Instead, he was telling Xia Xiao that he had the ability to see the future, and he must believe it.

Xia Xiao understood something and listened to Ma Dan's story.

"I saw an extremely huge whale in the starry sky before. It swallowed up the sunset and absorbed the power of several dead stars around it, and then flew away."

"What kind of whale?"

Xia Xiao just hoped it wasn't a narwhal, but Ma Dan couldn't remember that. To be precise, he didn't see what kind of whale it was. He just took a quick look and never saw it again. He shook his head in confusion. Xia Xiao returned to the small hall first because of his deep thoughts. He also couldn't let it go. Ah Zhu continued to talk to Xing Yang in his body, and the latter just regained consciousness.

"What's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

“I’m entering adulthood, and I don’t want that.”

Xingyang was in great pain, and his voice was filled with tears. Since they met, Xingyang had always been carefree, playing with Ah Zhu or fighting, without any worries at all, but now his heart was filled with depression and was about to crush his body. For the first time, Ah Zhu felt heavy from him, and there was an indescribable restlessness, as if if he was not careful, an object would explode and blow everything around into pieces.

In the past, when Ah Zhu sensed Xingyang, her little dots were cold and icy, like a clear starry sky, extremely bright and dazzling, and made people feel peaceful. But now, he has changed, becoming unfamiliar to Ah Zhu. But the latter is the first time to have a contracted beast, so naturally he wants to treat it well, and now he asks:

"How can I help you? Why don't you want to enter adulthood?"

"When I enter adulthood, I will change. I will not be myself anymore."

"People always change, don't be afraid. Look at me, I wasn't like this when I first lived in the small mountain village. I was very naughty back then, but now I'm much gentler and I also take Xia Xiao's thoughts into consideration. I won't quarrel with him at every turn. This is called maturity, you know? As long as we grow up, we will be like this, but as long as we don't forget what's in our hearts, we will still be the same person, right? Don't be afraid."

Ah Zhu coaxed Xiaodiandian softly, hoping that he would face it, because he was a powerful void beast. But this young boy with a childish voice cried and refused. If he entered adulthood, he would be the void beast Xingyang, not Ah Zhu's contracted beast, and certainly not the little dot.

"I don't want to grow up. When I grow up, I will have to bear more things. It will be too heavy! I always thought I could do it, but I will change soon."

"Xingyang..."

Ah Zhu was stunned when she heard the voice of despair. She stood in the starry sky, watching cracks appear on Xingyang's body, as if a huge monster was about to break through the shell and come out into the world. When the cracks became bigger, Xingyang made a painful sound, and Ah Zhu also grabbed the quilt tightly, feeling pain both physically and mentally.

"Sister, seal me!"

Ah Zhu stood there in a daze, his brows furrowed.

"Is there really no other way?"

"No……"

Little Dot was still crying. He knew that the seal couldn't stop him, but he wanted to escape for a while, at least not leave Ah Zhu right now, go to the cold or hot starry universe, and take on a huge responsibility. But Ah Zhu hesitated, she didn't know what happened yet. Feeling her emotions, Little Dot pleaded urgently:

"Sister, please, as for why, you will know it eventually, but before you know, let's just be happy, okay?"

"Do you really want to do this?"

Xingyang was more certain than anyone else that if this happened, he would now have to shoulder the huge responsibility of the Void Beast. Therefore, he was willing to be sealed, the longer the better, but the power in his body was so huge that it frightened him. But in the end, when a streak of blood appeared in front of him, he was still extremely gentle, affectionate and slow in saying:

"Thank you, sister."
