Zhao Xin raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and came to Zhao Xin's side.
"Thank you, can you come home with me? My brother will thank you very much." Xu Jiujiu expressed her hope, and her expectant eyes were fixed on Zhao Xin.
When she was most desperate, it was Zhao Xin who gave her hope, it was Zhao Xin who gave her the possibility of survival, and it was Zhao Xin who brought her new strength.
Before she knew it, Zhao Xin had become a very important person in her heart. A passerby.
Zhao Xin raised his head and looked at Xu Jiujiu in front of him, his tone calm: "That's not necessary, I'm not asking for anything in return."
After not speaking for a long time, she walked around behind Zhao Xin and sat down silently, back to back with Zhao Xin.
"We'll have to separate when we get to town."
She said, and the reluctance in her tone was so strong that even if Zhao Xin tried hard to pretend not to know, he couldn't help but feel it.
"Um."
The two of them suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke again. For a moment, only the wind from the forest blew past their ears.
"Let's go, and try to get to town in the afternoon." Zhao Xin broke the silence.
"Let's go." Xu Jiujiu's tone was a little cold.
The two of them walked towards the outside of the Star Forest, one in front and one behind.
......
After a whole afternoon of trekking, Zhao Xin and Xu Jiujiu finally arrived at the nearest town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Let's go eat something!" Zhao Xin said to Xu Jiujiu. Zhao Xin hadn't had a normal meal for more than ten days.
"Hurry up, I still need to take a shower." Xu Jiujiu said impatiently. She felt like she was going to stink. As a princess, it was not easy for her to hold on for so many days. She had never suffered so much since she was a child. With this experience in the Star Forest, she felt that she had grown a lot.
Zhao Xin and the other person walked into the nearest hotel and ordered a bunch of special foods. They also took this opportunity to take a comfortable medicinal bath to relieve the tension they had felt over the past few days.
"Let's eat quickly," Zhao Xin arrived at the dining area before Xu Jiujiu. When he saw Xu Jiujiu coming down, he stopped eating and greeted her.
"I can finally have a good meal. I'm about to turn into a savage after spending these few days in the Star Dou Great Forest." Xu Jiujiu felt that his skin was getting worse, so he had to take good care of it after returning to the palace.
Xu Jiujiu didn't hold back and sat down opposite Zhao Xin. Looking at the delicious dishes in front of him, his appetite was aroused. Although Xu Jiujiu ate quickly, he was still very elegant. In contrast, Zhao Xin ate in a bold way. However, Xu Jiujiu felt that Zhao Xin was more real this way.
The two of them finished their meal quickly and were silent for a few minutes. Finally, Zhao Xin said good night.
The next morning, after Zhao Xin and Xu Jiujiu had breakfast, they fell into silence again.
"I'm leaving. Actually, I want to tell you that I am the princess of the Xingluo Empire. Are you really not going back with me?" Xu Jiujiu's voice was a little choked.
"No, be careful on the road."
Zhao Xin did not try to persuade her to stay. He understood Xu Jiujiu's thoughts, but Zhao Xin only treated her as a passerby, an ordinary friend at most.
"....Before I go, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead!"
"Will we meet again?"
Zhao Xin was silent for a while, "Of course we will. We will all participate in the Continental Fighting Spirit Competition, right?"
"Well, I will definitely participate. This token is for you. When you come to the Xingluo Empire, bring it to me." Xu Jiujiu took out a token engraved with her name from the storage soul guide and handed it to Zhao Xin.
"Okay." Zhao Xin took the token and put it into his ring.
"Goodbye then, Chen Zifeng, don't forget me." Xu Jiujiu waved to Zhao Xin and walked towards the carriage next to him.
Zhao Xin just stood there, watching the carriage carrying Xu Jiujiu running towards the direction of the Xing Luo Empire.
"Why, you can't bear to leave the girl? Why don't you go to Xingluo Empire with me? Maybe you will be the prince consort of Xingluo Empire in the future." Zhao Changtian suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Xin and teased him, "I have seen everything you have experienced these days."
"What? I just treat her as an ordinary friend. Besides, we have been fighting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest these days, and we can be considered as life-and-death friendship. It is normal to feel reluctant for her to leave." Zhao Xin retorted to Zhao Changtian, but there was still some lack of confidence in his words.
"Let's not talk about this now. Just understand it in your heart. Now I'll take you to find your fourth soul ring." Zhao Changtian changed the subject and said to Zhao Xin.
"Is it the Ten Thousand Years Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear?" Zhao Xin asked. Actually, when Xu Jiujiu mentioned the Ten Thousand Years Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear that was wandering at the edge of the mixed zone, Zhao Xin had been interested in it. Later, while Xu Jiujiu was resting, he secretly found Zhao Changtian and asked him to look for the Ten Thousand Years Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
"Yes, after you told me, I followed the route they escaped and searched all the way. Finally, I found the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and its lair. I marked it there and I'll take you there now." After Zhao Changtian finished speaking, he grabbed Zhao Xin with one hand, sensed it carefully, and flew towards a certain direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Zhao Xin could only feel the strong wind whistling past his ears, making it hard for him to open his eyes. Suddenly, Zhao Changtian stopped, and Zhao Xin finally felt the solidity brought by the earth.
"This is the lair of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. I think it is only about 11,000 years old, which is just right for your fourth spirit ring. You find a place to hide, and I will go and deal with him." Zhao Changtian told Zhao Xin to find a place to hide while his martial spirit possessed him.
After Zhao Xin hid himself, Zhao Changtian, who was already possessed by his martial spirit, roared provocatively in the direction of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
"roar!"
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, which had a bad temper, could not tolerate such provocation. "Bang, bang, bang," a series of sounds were heard, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear roared and pounced towards Zhao Changtian.
"Come on." Zhao Changtian shouted, and his first, third, and fifth soul rings flashed. He rushed forward and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
The man and the bear started fighting, and Zhao Xin, who was standing by, could only feel gusts of wind blowing towards him. The battlefield between the man and the bear was ravaged by them, and deep pits appeared one after another around them.
"I don't want to play with you anymore. Look at my martial spirit's true form." Zhao Changtian seemed to have had enough fun and didn't want to waste time with it anymore, so he directly used his seventh soul ring.
The strong black light instantly spread over Zhao Changtian's entire body, and then his body began to undergo tremendous changes. After the Mighty King Kong Bear spirit possessed him, Zhao Changtian's already extremely strong body quickly expanded like a balloon. In the blink of an eye, his height exceeded five meters. His muscles expanded in an exaggerated manner, and his brown-yellow hair grew wildly. He turned into a real giant bear.
When his body completely turned into a bear, the yellowish hair instantly changed color, shining with golden light. The martial soul of the Mighty King Kong Bear had a terrifying attribute that increased defense by 200%. Zhao Changtian only attacked and did not defend, forcing the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear to retreat again and again.
Not long after, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear had its limbs and spine broken by Zhao Changtian. The originally very strong Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear could only collapse to the ground, no longer having its previous majesty.
"I have beaten it to the point where it only has its last breath left. You should quickly deal with it." Zhao Changtian took back his martial soul's true body, but did not take back his martial soul. He spoke directly to Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin did not hesitate. The dragon bear possessed him, his second soul ring lit up, and his claws glowed dark golden. He stabbed the dark golden terror claw bear's eyes.
