Chapter 33 Offering a warm face to a cold backside
"Considering your loyalty, I will spare your lives today."
Zhou Xianzong stood with his hands behind his back, not even glancing at the two of them.
She has mastered the art of capturing the essence of elegance.
"But you two injured Erhu. You may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment. Go back and beg Erhu for forgiveness."
"Thank you for sparing my life, Senior Brother Zhou."
The two shouted excitedly.
"Hurry up and gather the medicinal herbs and bring them to me."
Zhou Xianzong rebuked him coldly.
"Please wait a moment, Senior Brother Zhou, I'll be right there."
Li Xiaozi, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, headed towards the Black Fiend Tiger's cave.
The Black Fiend Tiger possesses a black fiend energy within its body, which can effectively nourish spiritual herbs.
This is why Zhou Xianzong recognized at a glance that Xiao Potian had taken the elixir.
Because he sensed a trace of dark, malevolent energy.
"It's terrible, Senior Brother Zhou! Something horrible has happened! The spiritual herb has been stolen by someone!"
Soon, Li Xiaozi's panicked voice came through.
What's the big deal? I didn't even know I'd been robbed.
They're just showing you this to make it a formality.
Of course, Zhou Xianzong would never say this aloud.
"What! Which scoundrel is so audacious as to steal my elixir? You two, immediately pass on the order and find him!"
Zhou Xianzong pretended to be very shocked.
"yes!"
The two responded.
"If I can't find it, I'll hold you both accountable!"
Emperor Zhou Xianzong issued an ultimatum, appearing extremely angry.
He remembered that's how it was in the story.
When Xiao Potian heard about it later, he secretly laughed at him.
[You'd better grow up quickly, then humiliate me thoroughly and win the hearts of the heroines, okay?]
[Sigh, speaking of which, I just finished showing off and beating up Wang Ba, and now I'm going to get humiliated by the protagonist as soon as I leave the Monster Forest.]
Being a major villain isn't easy!
If I remember correctly, Xiao Potian currently holds the most tokens, having rendered great service to the Qingyang Sect.
He would also use this as an opportunity to make sarcastic remarks about me, which would then make Luo Le'er, a colleague, swoon.
[Damn it, if it weren't for me, would Xiao Potian have gotten so many tokens? Ice Queen, go back to being a lovesick fool!]
Zhou Xianzong took the opportunity to write a few words in his diary, received a small reward, and then headed outside.
at the same time.
Luo Le'er, who had been searching for Zhou Xianzong for quite some time, had her eyes light up.
Because she finally learned Zhou Xianzong's exact location.
Each time, I was a step too late.
You want to leave the Monster Forest, right?
Okay.
I'll go and wait for you ahead of time.
Let's see where you can run this time.
"Hey, the little guy's training is almost over."
Mo Wu closed her diary and strode over to the wardrobe.
She gently pinched her chin, hesitating for a moment whether or not to dress like that to pick up this guy.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Shopkeeper, prepare the horses."
As soon as Zhou Xianzong emerged from the Three Star Cave, he saw Erhu waiting for him at the cave entrance.
After glancing at the burly man, Zhou Xianzong took out a pill from his spatial ring and tossed it to him.
"Eat it, it will help your injuries heal faster."
"Thank you, boss."
Erhu quickly took it and ate it without thinking much.
Instantly, an astonishing medicinal power spread from his body.
As you can see, some small wounds scab over quickly, and the bleeding from the more serious injuries has stopped.
Zhou Xianzong was quite satisfied with this recovery speed.
Although he didn't have anything of great value on him, he did have quite a few life-saving resources like elixirs.
"Let's go, it's time for us to leave the Monster Forest."
Zhou Xianzong walked toward the wildebeest.
Erhu followed behind him.
"I told you to wait for me at the cave entrance when I came out of seclusion, why did you come here?"
Zhou Xianzong frowned and asked.
"Boss, I heard that Xiao Potian took down our stronghold and even stole our token. I went to find him in a fit of anger, but I ran into Wang Ba and his gang."
Erhu felt a bit aggrieved.
He had only been away from the base for less than a day when his home was robbed.
And it was done by a nobody he usually didn't even consider.
Given his personality, he couldn't possibly hold back.
“The token is a small matter; you can always steal another one. But if you lose your life, that’s the end of you. From now on, you are not allowed to act without my orders.”
Zhou Xianzong glanced at him.
This alone is enough to show Erhu's loyalty.
"Yes, it won't happen again next time."
Erhu nodded.
Zhou Xianzong mounted his horned horse, led by two tigers, and headed straight for the finish line.
Even before reaching the destination, one could see disciples from all directions arriving one after another.
Their faces showed a mixture of sadness and excitement.
Those who suffered this defeat were naturally dejected.
Those who reaped a bountiful harvest, on the other hand, were all smiles as they waited for their rewards.
As soon as he left the Monster Forest, Zhou Xianzong saw the three sect leaders waiting there.
In addition, there are some other well-known figures in Tianwu City.
"Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Zhou is back!"
"If we're talking about who participated in this battle, then Senior Brother Zhou is undoubtedly the bravest and most unparalleled!"
"Of course, Senior Brother Zhou broke through to the Celestial Realm and single-handedly defeated Wang Ba and Li Xiaozi. Who else can match such a magnificent record?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Senior Brother Zhou will definitely be the winner this time."
The members of the Qingyang Sect were discussing it animatedly.
There is no doubt that the battle at Samsung Cave has already spread far and wide.
The other two groups remained somber, showing no sign of joy.
Zhou Xianzong glanced at the crowd and noticed Luo Le'er in the crowd with his sharp eyes.
He was momentarily stunned.
Isn't this woman with Xiao Potian?
Why did she leave early?
Oh shit.
I need to get out of here quickly.
Otherwise, you'll definitely be met with indifference later.
"Here, give these tokens to the sect leader. Tell him I have other matters to attend to and will be leaving now."
Zhou Xianzong tossed a spatial ring to Erhu.
This is what he saved before.
Xiao Potian only took the majority of it; he still had to keep this small portion to appease the situation.
Otherwise, it would be a laughing stock if His Highness the Crown Prince participated in the martial arts competition without even a token.
"Okay, boss, I'll go right now."
The two tigers accepted the order.
Just as Zhou Xianzong was about to urge the wildebeest to leave, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
"Zhou Xianzong!"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Xianzong's body trembled.
Damn it.
Why is this woman here?
He knew without even looking that the person coming was Luo Le'er.
"Le'er, have you changed your mind about me? I never expected you to come all this way to wait for me. I'm so touched!"
Zhou Xianzong immediately put on a smiling face and ran over with a grin.
He really wanted to curse.
Are you fucking crazy?
If you're waiting for Xiao Potian, then wait for him. Why are you coming here to cause trouble?
how.
You like watching me lick you.
Believe it or not, I'll transform into a Lethal Tempo full attack speed Tahm Kench and lick you to death.
"move?"
Hearing this, Luo Le'er almost burst out laughing in anger.
You bastard, don't think I don't know that you've been deliberately avoiding me ever since we parted ways last time.
Hmph.
I've caught you this time.
Didn't you say I would humiliate you together with Xiao Potian?
Hmph!
I'm going to pester you just like that, to drive you crazy!
