Chapter 90 Favorability UPUP
Xiao Yu called out "Master" in order to make Xu Chuchu put aside her differences between men and women and be at ease to let him carry her on his back.
But after Xu Chuchu was called like this, it was obvious that the "master's burden" became heavier.
After seeing Xiao Yu's cultivation speed, she was in constant fear of being surpassed by her disciple.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" She glared at Xiao Yu. "How can a master ask his apprentice to carry him on his back? How disrespectful!"
"What's the big deal? No one can see us here." Xiao Yu smiled innocently. "Don't force yourself. It will be bad if your feet get blisters."
As he spoke, he slung the bag over his shoulder and bent down in front of Xu Chuchu: "Come on, I'll carry you faster. We'll try to get to town today so we can have meatballs tonight."
Speaking of meatballs, Xu Chuchu was really moved. She had been eating steamed buns for several days.
In fact, after spending some time together, her liking for Xiao Yu has been growing.
Originally, Xiao Yu gave her the impression of being a "troublesome nobleman". She thought that he would often complain after following her through thick and thin, so she warned him several times in advance, saying that cultivation was difficult, and even prepared a set of excuses to teach him a lesson when the time came.
Unexpectedly, in the end, she was the one who felt tired and suffered, and Xiao Yu became the one who took care of her along the way.
He was the one who lit the fire and cooked the meals, and he made the bed for her. He even offered to wash her dirty clothes... He almost took care of all the hard and tedious chores, and was a much more dedicated apprentice than she was back then.
You know, she needed her master to take care of her when she was a child.
This sometimes made Xu Chuchu feel extremely fortunate that she had such a warm-hearted apprentice. She thought how miserable it would be if she were alone outside, tired and hungry.
Moreover, Xiao Yu's physical strength was obviously much stronger than her thin body. After walking for most of the day, her feet were sore, but he seemed to have not even broken a drop of sweat.
Just as Xu Chuchu was hesitantly preparing to climb onto Xiao Yu, a little girl's head suddenly popped out from the bushes nearby and looked at them timidly.
Both of them were stunned by this scene. Where did this little girl come from in such a remote place?
"Kid?" Xiao Yu stood up, his face dark. "Where are your parents?"
The little girl looked at them and suddenly burst into tears: "Big brother, big sister, please save my mother! She fell into the water and is drowning!"
Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu immediately looked at each other and said to the girl, "Lead the way."
The girl got permission and turned and ran with the two men.
She was not tall and wore a long gown that was obviously too big and dragged on the ground, but she ran very fast in the mountains and forests.
Xu Xiao and the other followed behind, rushed down several steep slopes, and came to the edge of a quiet lake.
"It's right here!" The girl pointed at a figure tumbling in the lake, "Please save my mother!"
Xiao Yu looked at the figure of the woman and frowned. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Xu Chuchu say, "Xiao Yu, go and rescue her."
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed, jumped into the cold lake water, and swam towards the struggling woman.
But the more he swam, the stranger it felt. He could clearly see the people not far away from the shore, but after swimming for so long, he felt that the people were getting farther and farther away.
Was it the current? He hadn't felt how strong the current in this lake was.
He quickened his pace and rushed to the woman like a swimming fish. Before he could catch her, she suddenly turned around and fiercely grabbed Xiao Yu's neck with a pair of withered, dark and thin hands.
Xiao Yu took another closer look and saw that the thing struggling in the water was not a woman who had fallen into the water, but a monster with a big mouth and a ferocious face and water plants on its head!
My goodness, this is not a request for help, this is a trap!
Xiao Yu broke free from the monster's clutches, kicked it away for a distance, chanted a spell, and used a magic attack to attack the monster's face.
His weapon was still the folding fan that he never left behind.
Originally, he wanted to change to the same wooden sword as Xu Chuchu or other fortune-teller weapons, but Xu Chuchu said that it didn't matter what he used, the most important thing was what was convenient, so he continued to use the fan.
Because the fan handle is made of high-quality rosewood, it is even easier to exert its power than a peach wood sword.
With one strike, the monster was knocked more than ten feet away.
This was his first time using the demon-killing technique in actual combat. Since he already had extensive combat experience and a reaction speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, he was able to use it with ease the first time.
But now was not the time for him to be proud. As soon as he temporarily got rid of the monster, he looked towards Xu Chuchu on the shore.
The girl who had just led them to the lake to harm them must not be a good person. He was worried that Xu Chuchu would fall into her trap.
But at a glance, he felt relieved again. Xu Chuchu had already started fighting with the "girl" and even chopped the "girl" to the ground with a sword. It was obvious that he had the upper hand.
Now that I think about it, she might have noticed the clues early on and deliberately gave him a chance to practice.
At this moment, Xu Chuchu looked in his direction and shouted, "Xiao Yu, watch out! Come back quickly!"
Only then did Xiao Yu realize that the monster he had just chased away had come back again. An undercurrent was rolling under the water, and a dark mass was surging up. No one knew what it was.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Xiao Yu was very self-aware and turned around to swim towards the shore.
"Get out of the way!" But Xu Chuchu came walking on the water, holding up the wooden sword, and split the water surface with one move.
Water splashed everywhere, and Xiao Yu could vaguely see the dark shadows under the water. They turned out to be countless monsters of the same size and ugly appearance!
Xu Chuchu muttered something, submerged the tip of the peach wood sword in the water, and then suddenly raised it -
A water column shaped like a giant dragon suddenly shot up into the sky. Under the command of Xu Chuchu, it rushed straight towards the group of monsters, smashing them into pieces in one breath!
"Hurry up!" Xu Chuchu shouted to Xiao Yu, "Swim towards the shore, away from the water!"
The two men immediately turned around and swam ashore. Listening to the dense swimming sounds and footsteps behind them, they rushed to higher places without looking back.
I don’t know how long I ran, until even Xiao Yu was out of breath, and the sound of chasing slowly disappeared.
"Light the fire, the bigger the better." Xu Chuchu sat on the ground and instructed Xiao Yu, "I need to meditate for a while."
She heard the sound of Xiao Yu picking up firewood everywhere, and knew that he was fine. She calmed down, controlled the spiritual power surging in her body, stabilized it again, and continued to condense it into a ball.
She knew that she was about to reach the fourth level.
