Whenever it comes to strength or Ah Zhu is injured, Xia Xiao feels deeply remorseful and guilty. Whether others say he loves his wife or that he is a male chauvinist, he must improve his strength and keep getting stronger. In the current situation, Xia Xiao has no way to intervene in many things, and he has to rely on Ah Zhu. But tens of thousands of years in the future, he must become stronger to help Ah Zhu bear the burden that she cannot bear.
If at that time, facing unknown dangers, Xia Xiao had to hide behind Ah Zhu, wouldn't he become a real waste? In these ten thousand years, he had to work harder. Now that he had nothing to do, Xia Xiao sat cross-legged and absorbed the source energy of heaven and earth. The speed of cultivation was not extremely fast, but seeing the flow speed of the source energy around him, Liu Chengxue felt it was very good.
The palace was white stone, with doors on all four sides and eight upright stone pillars. Green ivy and vines hung down from the sides of the stone pillars, which was quite pleasant and made Liu Chengxue like it. However, she was not in a good mood because she did not know what consequences the trouble she had brought this time would cause.
Since Ah Zhu is a god who can control the sunset, he will not be hurt so easily. However, Liu Chengxue is afraid that Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu will hate him for this. After all, it is not practical to worry about things that will happen tens of thousands of years later. However, Liu Chengxue underestimated the minds of Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu. They just think that such a person is the most suitable to be an elder.
It is said that honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, but as long as they truly consider the Huang Palace, no matter what they say, as long as it is not too much, they will not mind. As for the current matter, Xia Xiao and Azhu have no reason to care about it, but Liu Chengxue has been thinking about it for a long time, and has not been able to calm down, and it is difficult to practice.
On weekdays, Liu Chengxue is like a snow mountain that stands still in one place for a long time. This snow mountain is not exposed to the sun, but only in the palace, where it can sense and reach the heaven and earth, and everything in it can be known by it. Liu Chengxue does not care about the birds in the sky, nor does he care about the carriages that slowly pass by the snow mountain. He just focuses on the source of energy between heaven and earth, and Xia Xiao is the same.
No matter how long he had been in Xishu, no matter how familiar he was with this world, when absorbing the source energy, he always felt a sense of freshness that was always accompanied by unfamiliarity. That feeling made Xia Xiao more focused, and he kept absorbing it without feeling any discomfort. He only felt a sense of fullness and satisfaction, which made Xia Xiao feel at ease.
But while feeling at ease, Xia Xiao felt that the source of energy he currently possessed was far from enough. He continued to absorb it, but he did not dare to be too obsessed, because no matter which world, there were people who went astray during their practice. But during the practice, Xia Xiao, who always had high requirements, found that he did not seem to be able to go astray because he was a demon.
Although the Xishu world recognized that kind of power, it did not ban it. It still regarded it as evil and did not encourage it. It was also used as a negative example and was once spurned by others.
If it weren't for Ah Zhu's power, Xia Xiao's breath would be exposed and the stench would appear. He was not like Yu Shangyan, who could suppress it with the five elements, but because he was originally a demon, Xia Xiao was considering whether he could bring the use of demonic energy into his practice.
The function of the demonic energy is to absorb. No matter what kind of creature it is, it can be suppressed and absorbed into the body and become its own. But Xia Xiao did not do that after arriving at Xishu. He and Yu Shangyan knew very well that if they increased their strength in that way, it would only bring discredit to the Desolate Palace. Therefore, at this time, he just urged the black tree in his body to speed up its absorption of source energy.
Correspondingly, the five elements space has expanded, which in turn feeds back to the conditions that are conducive to the absorption of source energy.
In this way, Xia Xiao's training time is much longer than that of ordinary people of the same level. This wonderful way of absorbing vital energy not only amazed Liu Chengxue, but also made Xia Xiao understand why there was a strange fluctuation when the former released the source energy before. He was not a Xishu person, and he did not rely on the exercises to absorb the source energy. After seeing the people of the Xishu world, of course he would find it strange.
Opposite Xia Xiao, Liu Chengxue stared at him for a long time, but was even more surprised to see that his speed of absorbing source energy was not decreasing but increasing, and his expectations for him became even stronger. For some reason, Liu Chengxue always felt that Xia Xiao could also become a god, not because of anything else, but because Ah Zhu was a god.
In all worlds, men seem to be stronger than women. This is a criterion for choosing a spouse, and it is also a stereotype engraved in many people's minds. Even if we don't talk about these sensitive topics that are easy to cause conflicts, Ah Zhu's vision must be good. Everyone overestimates Ah Zhu and thinks she is very capable, but only Xia Xiao and a few seniors in the college know that Ah Zhu is such a carefree girl who speaks her mind.
Gradually, Ah Zhu regained consciousness and woke up. She yawned loudly, and before she woke up, she called Xia Xiao in a delicate voice.
"Husband~Where are you?"
Listening to Ah Zhu's soft and coquettish voice, Liu Chengxue stood up immediately, thinking that he was lucky enough, ordinary people would not be lucky enough to hear it. But he was afraid that he would be redundant, so he prepared to wake up Xia Xiao and walk out of the palace. But when he just looked at Xia Xiao, the latter suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up and rushed behind the screen.
Xia Xiao's intense reaction surprised Liu Chengxue, and her expression was even more interesting. Was this a display of affection? Liu Chengxue was still relatively young in the cultivation world, so he was more sensitive to these things. He sighed secretly and left the palace.
Behind the screen, the hemispherical shield formed by Xia Xiao's five elements of energy had disappeared, and Ah Zhu's red lips and pink face were replaced, no longer as pale as before. Xia Xiao sat on the edge of the bed without caring about what Liu Chengxue thought, and was relieved when he saw Ah Zhu's face looked much better.
"Are you feeling well? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ah Zhu shook his head and whispered in his ear playfully:
"I feel sick all over."
Seeing Ah Zhu's cheerful face, Xia Xiao turned her over, patted her butt, and asked with a smile:
"And now?"
“You are bad!”
Ah Zhu pulled Xia Xiao onto the bed, pressed him under him, and threatened to crush him to death, but Xia Xiao hugged him back and enjoyed the softness. Seeing Ah Zhu's face flushed, Xia Xiao deliberately said:
"It seems that you are indeed not feeling well. Are you lacking my care?"
Ah Zhu smiled evilly and snorted, and Xia Xiao threw him back on the bed and said with a smile:
"Wait until we get back to the Great Wilderness, no, wait until we get back to the Wilderness Palace, you'll be in trouble!"
"I don't believe it!"
Xia Xiao scratched Ah Zhu's nose, and seeing how energetic she was, he finally stopped worrying. Ah Zhu was like this every time, and she might feel tired, or even mentally traumatized, but every time she woke up, she would be full of energy. Xia Xiao envied her ability to recover, but Ah Zhu sat up, and her voice was no longer soft as before, but threatened;
"If you want to know about the future, you have to listen to me!"
"No problem. If you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west. If you want to eat chicken, I will definitely not take you to eat duck."
"Hmm~ that sounds good, I'll tell you reluctantly then!"
Ah Zhu raised his head and stretched out his hand, signaling Xia Xiao to help him up. The latter smiled and bent over to help him stand up. Immediately, a blood-red light flashed across the sky, and Ah Zhu's feet, which were about to land, immediately had socks and boots on them. The wrinkled blood-red skirt on her body also became like new clothes, and her long chestnut hair was braided by herself.
"I feel like this is the best place to get stronger. It's so convenient!"
Ah Zhu laughed, and walked out of the screen with Xia Xiao, and then walked out of the hall and came to the palace door. Outside the door, Liu Chengxue stood beside a stone pillar, looking at the broken snow mountain in the distance, waiting for Ah Zhu to wake up.
"Hey, do you want to know about the future?"
Ah Zhu's sudden voice made Liu Chengxue turn around and salute immediately. He didn't expect Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu to be so quick. But he stepped forward and said:
"I hope the gods can give me some advice."
"What you saw is indeed correct."
When Ah Zhu said this, Liu Chengxue was extremely excited. He knew that he would either fail to calculate or make a mistake. This excitement made him smile happily even though he had great concentration, but he did not lose his demeanor. When Xia Xiao looked at him, he nodded in appreciation and expressed his agreement.
Xia Xiao has never been a stingy person. He cupped his hands and praised:
"Having a senior in the Huang Palace is like adding wings to a tiger!"
"Thank you very much."
"But it's too early to be happy now. Is there any way to resolve it?"
Xia Xiao's question caught Liu Chengxue's attention and made him curious, but looking at Ah Zhu's expression, he knew there must be a solution. There was indeed a solution, but Ah Zhu's answer was a little too vague.
"I saw that Xishu was facing a threat and was about to be destroyed. But at the critical moment, it seemed that I released a force. It must be me, because it was the blood-colored power of the gods. That power controlled Xishu and the entire galaxy it was in, and paused time. Then I sent out a person, and he might be the one who changed everything."
"Who sent it out?"
Xia Xiao was very curious, but Ah Zhu said firmly:
"It must be you!"
Xia Xiao looked at Ah Zhu's erratic eyes and always felt that she was lying, but she patted Xia Xiao's shoulder and snorted:
"You don't believe me?"
"Of course not!"
If Xia Xiao doesn't even trust Ah Zhu, then there is no one in this world that he trusts. When people reach a certain level, the married couple is the closest person, even more than parents and brothers. Because a real couple will go through thick and thin together, share joys and sorrows, and face any difficulties in life together, instead of calculating against each other. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu still don't understand such a person. Don't they feel disgusted when they sleep on the same pillow?
"That's it, trust me and everything will go on as usual. Although those things will definitely happen someday in the future, we will definitely get through this difficult time."
Ah Zhu suddenly became serious, which made Xia Xiao nod coldly. The latter's trust in the former made him not think too much, but Ah Zhu didn't know who the person she saw being sent away was. But for such a long time, would someone of her stature really stay with Xia Xiao?
Ah Zhu admitted that she had thought about this question for a moment, but it was not because she did not love Xia Xiao, nor did she have other plans to abandon Xia Xiao, but she was simply curious. But the moment this horrible idea came into being, Ah Zhu was immediately shattered by it, and felt extremely guilty. However, she believed that such a thing would never happen, and she and Xia Xiao would definitely be able to go to the end!
