It turned out to be Wu Xiaojing, the leader of the alliance.

...

Jiang Xiao thought that he had seen the bodies of this group of princes and nobles, but it turned out that Jiang Xiao was still too young.

The next night, the night after the first round, Jiang Xiao was told that there was a dance party, and he was asked to wear a mask and dress up to attend.

Jiang Xiao had never participated in a masquerade ball, and he didn't need to hide his identity before he could play freely.

Most of the people who entered the venue were contestants, which also showed that except for some people who came with the team, the vast majority of people here were star warriors, and there were not a few of them who had perceptual star skills.

Some people know what is hidden behind the mask.

But even in this case, there is a layer of masks to cover, and people let go of their hands and feet, and the fun is called a good time.

To be honest, Jiang Xiao could have had a few sexual encounters, in the words of Prince Bino: "Anything that happens tonight will only stay tonight." ”

This is an unwritten rule, an unspoken rule, and once someone breaks this unspoken rule, it will be under fire from everyone here, and everyone will gather their strength to maintain such a ball.

This is also to defend their right to fade their identity halo and have fun to their heart's content.

After a few songs, Jiang Xiao left here after rejecting a few people.

For Jiang Xiao, he is just here to open his eyes, and for many people, it will be an extraordinary night.

However, such a vision, even if it is not opened, it is not interesting.

Jiang Xiao not only left the dance floor, but also left the party.

When leaving, he also took most of the bottle of red wine from the waiter's arms......

Just now, the waiter saw Jiang Xiao coming and stretched out his hand to him, and the waiter immediately handed a goblet to Jiang Xiao, but Jiang Xiao let go of the goblet handed by his left hand and directly took most of the bottle of red wine in his right hand.

Not only that, Jiang Xiao was also picking and choosing at the dining table, putting together a fruit plate, and then flickered away.

That figure is as chic as it is.

Some of the "caring people" on the dance floor paid attention to this, and also showed a knowing smile, and they secretly guessed in their hearts who the little poisonous milk had lost privately......

Jiang Xiao, who left the ball, flickered a few times and entered the dense forest.

This manor was far away from the city, and in the depths of the distant dense forest, Jiang Xiao found a particularly quiet and hidden place.

But even in the dark deep forest, Jiang Xiao still summoned the Domain Tears Realm, his eyes were red, and a light rain gradually fell in the pitch-black sky.

Perception, the area is indeed empty, but there are some wild animals.

After confirming the safety, Jiang Xiao opened the ruins of the shadow of calamity, stepped into it, the space gate was instantly closed, and there was still silence in the dense forest, only the light rain that gradually stopped.

In the ruins of the shadow of disaster, the lights were bright.

The huge fireworks puppets have become street lamps, standing quietly one by one, like majestic flame sculptures, particularly obedient, motionless, only the sparks and the occasional crackling sound on their bodies.

Jiang Xiao carried the red wine and the wet fruit plate, and walked towards the southeast corner.

But I saw a familiar figure.

"Heh... Heh......" In the fitness equipment area, a familiar figure is riding a bicycle hard, panting heavily.

That sweaty appearance, with Jiang Xiao, who ran to death on the playground of the imperial capital, was like being fished out of the water.

She was wearing a small black tank top, elastic pants, and no shoes under her feet, and under the sweat, the clothes were tightly attached to her body, outlining the beautiful body lines.

Due to the position of the bicycle, Han Jiangxue at this time had his back to Jiang Xiao, and in front of him was a deep and vast dim starry sky.

She wore headphones, held a bicycle in her hand, and rode rhythmically under her feet, without squinting, looking at the starry sky in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

And beside her, there is a large amount of rich star power constantly converging, and the picture is very beautiful.

Jiang Xiao's steps were very light, and he walked quietly, looking at the familiar back, looking at the appearance of hard work, Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, and stood quietly behind her.

Han Jiangxue, who was wearing headphones, couldn't hear any sound, and in this ruins of calamity, her vigilance around her seemed to have dropped to the lowest.

However, as a star warrior with a keen sense of smell, she vaguely felt the gaze of her eyes.

Han Jiangxue stopped at his feet, turned his head suddenly, his horsetail flicked, and beads of sweat swayed out.

Han Jiangxue's eyes condensed slightly.

Unlike Jiang Xiao's imagination, she did not have the joy of reunion, but seemed to have suffered some grievances, but she was trying her best to restrain such emotions and try not to show it.

Therefore, at this time, her dark eyes were full of stubbornness, but her sweaty face was expressionless.

Jiang Xiao stepped over, stood beside her, and handed over the fruit plate.

From the time Han Jiangxue entered here to Jiang Xiao's reappearance, it was almost a week.

Han Jiangxue rode her bicycle again and looked at the starry sky in front of her.

Jiang Xiao grinned, put the red wine on the ground, leaned on the erection stand in front of the bicycle, poked a piece of mango with a fork, and sent it to Han Jiangxue's dry lips.

Han Jiangxue raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Xiao, pedaled the bicycle, and after a few seconds, opened her mouth to eat it.

The large fruit plate was halfway down, and under the attack of the sweet fruit, Han Jiangxue finally took off the headphones and spoke first: "I have entered the peak of the galaxy." ”

Jiang Xiao said: "It's a good thing. ”

Han Jiangxue ate the small pieces of oranges fed by Jiang Xiao, but her mood was a little low: "I can't find a way to turn stars into martial arts." ”

Jiang Xiao comforted softly: "That's a matter of the Star Sea Period, and everyone has the opportunity to be initiated. ”

"Hmm." Han Jiangxue hummed lightly and glanced at the crimson strawberry cubes.

Jiang Xiao also forked the strawberry and sent it over.

Han Jiangxue: "How are you?" Participated in the competition? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "The first round is over, and I have already advanced......"

Jiang Xiao talked about those strange star pets, and told interesting stories with Han Jiangxue.

When Jiang Xiao said that he had turned the rainforest civet milk into a puddle of mud, Han Jiangxue finally had a smile on his face, as if he could imagine the well-behaved appearance of the ferocious star pet after being blessed.

Most of the fruit bowl went down, Jiang Xiao knew that she was very short of water, and she never stopped feeding, but Han Jiangxue shook her head slightly, signaling that she would not eat anymore and leave some for Xia Yan.

Jiang Xiao then remembered, yes, there is another Erha here! Man?

Han Jiangxue said softly: "To practice swords, she needs a quiet environment, in the depths of the space, in the opposite corner. ”

"Oh, then I'm not going to bother her." Jiang Xiao thought for a while, put the fruit bowl on the butterfly machine seat on the side, picked up the red wine and put it over, "When she comes back to rest, you can give it to her again." ”

"Well, be careful." Han Jiangxue said, as if she had already issued an eviction order.

But Jiang Xiao picked up the towel on the instrument on the side and helped her wipe the sweat beads on her shoulders and arms.

Han Jiangxue didn't say anything, holding the handrail of the bicycle, looking at the starry sky in front of him, and continued to train.

Jiang Xiao carefully wiped the sweat on her neck and said softly: "You know, as long as you are not in a hurry, we will eventually get everything we want and achieve the set goal." ”

There are some things that should be said.

Han Jiangxue's movements under his feet were getting faster and faster.

Jiang Xiao: "We have come all the way ......"

Han Jiangxue suddenly spoke: "I want to enter the sea of stars before the World Cup, whether it is physical or psychological, I have to cross in." ”

The voice was resolute and the words were strong.

Jiang Xiao paused and said, "Before leaving, I asked Principal Yang, Qin Wangchuan, and Erwei to help find the Xinghai Law System that has a similar shape to you, and after I finish this invitational tournament, I will go back to them and ask, if there is such a Xinghai senior, maybe they can give us some advice and guidance." ”

Hearing this, Han Jiangxue's gaze moved from the dim stars in the distance to Jiang Xiao, and she let out a soft "um".

Seeing that her emotions were relieved, Jiang Xiao said, "What did you enter the Star Sea for?" ”

Han Jiangxue said without hesitation: "Star pet, high-quality star skills, stronger ability and physical fitness." ”

Jiang Xiao: "What is all this for?" ”

Han Jiangxue: "Dragon Cave." ”

She did not hesitate to answer, her goal was very clear, and she was firmly and diligently executing.

But as an individual, there will be inertia.

There is no one to supervise or supervise here.

Jiang Xiao only came once in a while, and saw her training hard, which was not only a matter of self-discipline, but also showed that she had a clear goal and a determined heart.

Jiang Xiaodao: "Let's talk about some realistic problems, after going to the Dragon Cave, we can't find any trace of our parents, what are you going to do next?" ”

Han Jiangxue pursed her lips and said, "Yiqiu, they may be there." ”

Jiang Xiao sighed heavily in his heart and said, "Yes, there is a very small possibility. But you know, if we go to another ball, we're never going to come back. ”

"I can't come back." Han Jiangxue stopped, looked up at Jiang Xiao, and said, "You're just the bait there." ”

Jiang Xiao said with a smile: "If you want to score a different goal, how can I use bait to accompany you." ”

Han Jiangxue: "You have told me many times that the bait is you. ”

Jiang Xiao: "It's very dangerous there, and the alien ball also means death, one day, my bait is dead, and if I want to see you again, it may be far away, after all, the location of teleportation from the upper dimension to the alien sphere is different every time, and the scope is extremely large, and besides, in the blank period when the two of us are not together, maybe you will also die." ”

Han Jiangxue seemed to have regained the posture of "Han Xiaojiao", looked at Jiang Xiao stubbornly, and did not respond.

Jiang Xiao said: "Is there really nothing here that makes you nostalgic?" This civilized society? People on this earth? ”

Han Jiangxue opened her mouth for a long time, speechless, diametrically opposed to her previous appearance of clear goals and categorical determination.

After a long time, Han Jiangxue said softly: "I'll stay and accompany you." ”

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue buried her head and continued to ride her bicycle.

Jiang Xiao said softly: "Han Jiangxue." ”

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly, she was not used to Jiang Xiao calling her by her full name.

Jiang Xiao: "You are a person who lives in the goal, and you yourself have said that you also behave like this."

For example, in high school, again and again in the league, again and again in the ranking of grades, until you are admitted to the highest university in China, you are confused for a period of time, and suddenly you don't know what to do. ”

Han Jiangxue's face was expressionless and did not respond.

Jiang Xiao: "The World Cup saved you, gave you a goal, and made you very motivated to live, if it wasn't for the World Cup, you might be even crazier." ”

There is a World Cup, and her goal in training is to win the championship among her peers for the time being.

Without the World Cup, Han Jiangxue's training may only be to go to the Dragon Cave, this kind of top-level goal is a kind of destruction for Han Jiangxue.

Jiang Xiao: "Even now, you can't wait for the second World Cup, your motivation to survive is planned very clearly, the dragon cave and the different ball." I know you very well, and you think I'm going to believe you and say that you'll stay here with me. ”

Han Jiangxue raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xiao and said word by word: "I said, if I stay with you, I will definitely accompany you, you don't need to question my commitment to you." ”

Jiang Xiao closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Han Jiangxue slowly kicked up the bicycle and turned her head to look at the dim starry sky.

So now the question is,

Living like a walking corpse, or struggling to survive with hope, which is the more correct path in life?

Jiang Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of Han Jiangxue's head.

He leaned down slightly, his lips lightly imprinted on her sweaty forehead.

Han Jiangxue's body stiffened slightly.

Jiang Xiao smacked his lips, this sweat was really salty...... "We all know what the outcome of exploring the Dragon's Cave will be, so, next topic. ”

Han Jiangxue raised her head: "Huh? ”

Jiang Xiao: "Do you think that in the future, will you stay on Earth to accompany me, or will I go to the other ball to accompany you?" ”

Han Jiangxue bit her lip, her mood was a little complicated.

This is indeed a problem.

Jiang Xiao patted Han Jiangxue on the shoulder: "According to your training intensity, according to the cultivation speed of this Shadow Ruins, it won't take half a year for you to get everything you want."

Let's make a pact, I'll accompany you to the other ball, and it must be the two of us going together.

And, you have to respect my advice, I am both your comrade and your guide, without me, it will be difficult for you to find a way to the other ball.

I hope that we can give ourselves more time to prepare, and that node may not be in half a year. ”

Han Jiangxue propped her elbows on the armrests of the bicycle, lowered her head, and sighed deeply.

Jiang Xiao said softly: "Think about it." ”

Han Jiangxue lowered her head, sweat continued to drip down on her face that had not been wiped by Jiang Xiao, and she was silent for a long time, and let out a soft "um".

Jiang Xiao patted her on the back and said, "I'll go back first, and in a few days, I'll come back with a platinum god pet to open your eyes." ”
