Chapter Thirty-Eight: Collision

The sky was dark, and the rain of last night had driven away the heat and brought a trace of coolness, and the city was deserted, except for some mercenaries who got up early and hurried away, either alone or in groups, and walked towards the city gate. At this time, a fierce and mighty white giant wolf galloped past the middle of the road, some people exclaimed, some people hurriedly dodged, and they didn't have time to avoid the people who were blown by the strong wind and scolded.

However, after recognizing it as the Ice Wolf King, he shut up.

The wet road surface that the giant wolf stepped on quickly formed ice slag, like a long ice blanket spread to the end of the road, compared to ordinary ice wolves, this is the power of ice and snow only owned by the king of ice wolves, not counting the cultivation of the person sitting on his back. In a short period of time, even if some grievances are dissipated, no one will think that their lives are long.

Before he could take a few steps, he saw a hideous-looking Red Flame Tiger rolling in a rolling heat wave, stepping on the ice carpet left by the Ice Wolf King, whistling past, and passers-by avoided it and almost got sparks on the corner of his clothes. The Red Flame Tiger's colorful fur is red and yellow, and his temper is notoriously manic and irritable, and the breath he spouts is extremely hot, and the red flames under his claws are full of scorched earth.

The ice blanket turned into water and steamed, and the whole street seemed to be covered with clouds, and the originally wet and slightly muddy road was suddenly extremely dry.

Looking at the back of the dust, whether it is the Ice Wolf King or the Red Flame Tiger, the powerful demon beast is the dream of all cultivators, and the mercenaries who stopped on the side of the road only had envy in their eyes.

After the Red Flame Tiger rushed out of the gate of Beacon Fire City, he spewed out a scorching breath, raised his head and roared, and suddenly increased his running speed to catch up with the Ice Wolf King, his eyes full of provocation.

"Obediently, don't make a fuss. Saiko patted its head and said.

The Red Flame Tiger let out a depressed roar, and complained through his heart: "Oh, can you change your name?" Lao Tzu's mighty and domineering spirit has all been called obediently by you!" In private, the broken name of being called obedient has passed, and now being heard by the Ice Wolf King makes it feel particularly unhappy.

Xizi thought about it seriously, and said through his heart: "I think it's good to be obedient." ”

"Where's it!"

"Do you want to meow?"

Did you do it on purpose!!The Red Flame Tiger erupted into a fireball in a rage, and was quickly choked back into his throat by the oncoming wind, almost choking on tears. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the Ice Wolf King looking over, and his heart was suddenly depressed, it was mocking me?!

The Ice Wolf King was indeed taunting it, and he was choked by spitting fireballs and acting majestic while running, which was really stupid enough.

Xizi noticed that the Red Flame Tiger was getting more and more irritable, and patted its head: "When I finish my business, I will help you massage your whole body once." ”

"Really?" Red Flame Tiger's eyes lit up, and his irritable mood miraculously stabilized.

"When did I lie to you?"

"Well, you're a trustworthy human. ”

The Red Flame Tiger was thinking about the whole body massage that was refreshing to the bones, and he ran extremely hard, which made the Ice Wolf King, who had been watching coldly, unable to understand, but a fool is a fool, and he was very dissatisfied with the Red Flame Tiger's excited appearance.

Facing the wind, mixed with the smell of earth and plants, Xizi did not feel comfortable after sniffing deeply, but added a few wisps of sorrow.

It has been observed that Qin Zheng is an easy-going, tranquil person who never cares about rumors and trivial matters. When you are alone, you are peaceful and quiet, and your life is monotonous, except for practicing swords and making spells, you can focus on boring things all day. The door is not out of the door, a senior otaku, and he rarely interacts with people, which is really a waste of his handsome and distorted face. The problem is that in addition to being jealous of their looks and qualifications, they work hard and don't consider other people's feelings at all, so it's no wonder that people are jealous and rumors, and there is a tendency to get worse.

Has he heard of it? Has he figured out how to deal with it? The slightest mistake has ruined the reputation he has built up with great difficulty in an instant, and if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, she wouldn't have rushed to make this trip.

While thinking about her thoughts, Xizi couldn't help but glance at her peers. She couldn't help but wonder, how did two people with very different personalities who didn't seem to be able to intersect become friends? Who found whom first? How did they live under the same roof? Now it seems that they are quarrelling, and in the Cold War, the most unlikely person who seems to take the initiative will actually take the initiative......

Suddenly, a cold gaze came straight at her, interrupting her thoughts.

Xizi was not embarrassed at all by being caught, and smiled generously at him.

He withdrew his gaze and stared ahead with his eyes unwavering. The surface is calm and waveless, but the heart has long been undulating, and I can't help but recall the scene when Xizi took the initiative to talk to him.

'I'm curious how you and Qin met?'

Seeing that he was not pleasing to the eye, he asked him to fight outside the city. ’

'Who won?'

‘......’

'You don't know each other if you don't fight, and then you become brothers?'

It's more complicated than that. ’

It's so complicated that it's bizarre, and it's embarrassing to say it, and he hates lengthy explanations.

He took a deep breath and looked ahead, his mind hazy. If he hadn't been angry and reached out to take care of things, he probably wouldn't have had any intersection with Qin Zheng. Without that battle, without arousing his heart to kill Qin Zheng, he would not have remembered Qin Zheng's soul breath. It's just Qin Zheng...... No, Qin Zheng's soul breath was too similar to Zheng'er, and in the end, it was confused and led to mistaking Zheng'er, and he lost his mark under impulse.

It's not a dream, it's not an illusion, he wants to grab the living kite in front of him and help him solve all the puzzles.

Why does Zheng'er always appear in his dreams? Why does the soft and immature voice call him over and over again? And say something...... If his heart hurts, he only knows that her name is Zheng'er, and he doesn't know anything about her, he only knows that she is important to him, and he is desperate to find her.

Putting the kite aside, it was the first time that she had experienced what brotherhood was from others. can't kill him, not only because Qin Zheng's soul breath is very similar to Zheng'er, but also because he no longer feels lonely and has an emotion that hinders him, preventing him from cutting off this budding friendship so easily. Although I don't want to admit it, I still care in my heart, and I care very much.

There is even a voice that tirelessly tells him all the time: someone cares about you, someone cares about you, someone maintains you as a relative, hugs you when you need it, gives you warmth, and treats you like family...... The important thing is that you don't feel lonely anymore.

Yes, he couldn't help but agree with these words circling in his head, life is so long, the taste of loneliness is suffocating and desperate.

"Shame!"

Suddenly, he heard Xizi calling him, and hurriedly retracted his mind.

"Ahead is War Song City, should we take the official road in the city or take the small road in the suburbs?"

As the sun rises, there will be more and more people moving around, and it will be inconvenient to ride a demon beast into the city. After some thought, he said three words coldly: "Go to the suburbs." ”

Even with the demon beasts on their way, it took Saiko and Nishi two hours to reach the edge of the forest. Letting the contract beasts forage for food on their own, the two of them ate the food they bought, and when Xizi was resting, he asked Qin Zheng's specific location through his mind, and after asking twice in a row, he couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong?" Xizi frowned when he saw him for no reason, and said with concern. "Eh, I'm friends with you, right? Or are you a fellow traveler? ”

Friend? "Can men and women be friends?"

"Why can't we be friends?" Saiko asked him amusefully.

I have always believed that if there is no love between men and women, there is no hope of reproduction, and they cannot be too close, otherwise it will cause great trouble to both parties. "Won't it bother?" he couldn't help but ask.

Xizi wondered: "What's so bothering about this? Friendship knows no gender, no age or race, as long as you can get along, you can become friends." You...... You don't have friends of the opposite sex, do you?"

"Nope. "Truthful. In fact, he didn't have any sexual friends, only a wolf and a bird barely called friends.

Xizi rolled her eyes and smiled, "I want to apply to be your first friend of the opposite sex, welcome?"

He was silent, trying his best to hide the confusion in his heart.

"You can talk to me about things, I will try my best to help you when you are in trouble, and you can talk to me when you are sad, so you can be an extra sister." Xizi suggested. Her withdrawn temperament reminded her of a male colleague in the laboratory department in her previous life, who was very reliable, but she didn't want to drag her face with ice cubes all day long, and she overheard about his life experience, only to know that it was the environment that created her withdrawn character. It's very similar to him, both have a story, but it's a little different, and it feels very interesting.

He quickly looked her up and down, and then showed a questioning look. How old are you? Be my sister? Why do humans like to take advantage of others?

"What, do you feel ashamed that I am your sister?" Xizi curled the corners of her lips and raised her chin slightly, and secretly pointed to the dark sea of trees behind her. Since she practiced the Shadow Heart, she has developed the habit of placing 'eyes' everywhere, and at the edge of the forest, 'eyes' can be said to be everywhere, although the observation range is limited, but the distance for warning is enough.

His eyes were cold, he understood Xizi's gestures, and he suddenly turned his head in vigilance, only to see three people in white cloaks walking towards this side unhurriedly. After a few breaths, the three people came to the front of them, and the speed was very fast.

"Twilight Temple Emissary, we meet again. The leader pulled down his hood, revealing a young man's face, and looked at him with a smile.

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal. This person he knew, Hou An, a candidate for the Rising Sun Saint King, and Qin Zheng's enemy.

"What about Qin Zheng?" Hou Andong looked around, pretending to be looking for a while before continuing, "Isn't it here, as an envoy, you don't protect your Saint King candidate, but you are here to fall in love with a woman, and you don't worry about being punished for dereliction of duty?"

He glanced at Hou An expressionlessly, pulled Xizi and turned around to leave. He was not an emissary, and he had nothing to do with the Twilight Temple, and Hou An's questioning and threats sounded insignificant to him.

"Wait!" shouted a middle-aged man.

He paused, feeling the hostility that pierced his back.
