When Lin Xi woke up, it was already evening.

She remembered the man she saw before she passed out, and she panicked inexplicably, and opened her eyes and looked to the side.

"You're awake. Du Ziteng's face was slightly tired, and he said with a smile after seeing Lin Xi open his eyes.

"Stomach ache?" Lin Xi checked himself and found that there was nothing wrong, he was a little relieved, and when he saw him, he remembered that he had been defeated by himself in Tianshi City before, and asked.

"I didn't expect you to remember me. Du Ziteng said with a smile, he also thought that nobles were forgetful, and people like himself who were defeated casually would definitely not remember.

Lin Xi nodded, because his name was easier to remember.

Looking around, he saw the corpse of a second-order demon spirit sheep lying there next to him, thinking that he was attracted by his own bloody qi, and then killed by Du Ziteng, so he looked up and said, "Thank you." ”

Du Ziteng looked at Lin Xi's eyes, he had discovered before that this woman was a very rare double pupil, and at this moment, those eyes were quiet and far-reaching, and there was no trace of light in the dark pupils, like a bottomless abyss, which made people can't help but fall into it, but now a trace of gratitude emerged, and it seemed a little smart.

Looking at these eyes, his heart jumped inexplicably, and then he opened his eyes and said, "I was afraid of affecting your wounds before, so I didn't move you." ”

In fact, it is more because of the difference between men and women, he is afraid that Lin Xi will chase and kill him because of this little thing after he wakes up, he has heard that some unreasonable women are like this, there is a poor boy who helped a young lady of a rich and noble family who was injured and unconscious to bandage it, but the young lady felt that she was defiled, and she had to send someone to kill him, but in the end, her father stopped him, but let people beat the kid to make his daughter angry.

He doesn't want to encounter this kind of thing, although his family background is also good, but it can't be compared with the Lin family, right?

Lin Xi looked down at his wound, the external injury had healed, and the Yuan Force had dissipated, but the nearby tendons and veins had been seriously damaged, and this was near the Dantian, I am afraid that I would not be able to use the Yuan Force for a while.

Lin Xi supported the ground with both hands and stood up tremblingly, Du Ziteng hesitated for a moment, wanting to help him, but in the end he still stood in place and did not move.

The blood stains on the ground had dried up, Lin Xi peeled off the blood scabs stuck to her clothes, and then turned her head to look at Du Ziteng, people can be said to have saved her life, so how to repay it?

Give money? Lin Xi felt that he was insulting the other party.

Lin Xi doesn't seem to have any natural treasures.

After thinking about it again and again, Lin Xi finally said solemnly: "I, Lin Xi, owe you a life." ”

Du Ziteng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Xi to be so solemn, he thought that a child of a big family like her should be very proud and selfish, when he encountered this kind of thing, he would probably use money or some pills to solve it, and he didn't ask for much, it would be good if he could make the other party owe a favor, in fact, he was ready to receive gold coins.

However, at this moment, Lin Xi actually said that he owed him a life?

This is no ordinary promise, although such words do not prove, there is no contract, there is no binding, but it can be seen that she is serious.

Du Ziteng's face also became solemn, and he said, "It's just a gesture, Miss Lin Xi doesn't have to be like this." ”

Lin Xi didn't speak, although the other party said so, she would still write down this kindness, no matter how she said it, it was because of him that she could save herself from dying in the mouth of the demonic beast.

"I'll repay this kindness in the future, but at this moment I have something important to do, I'm afraid I'm going to part with you. Lin Xi thought about it, his eyes flashed, and he spoke.

She is now in a state of being hunted down, and if they find out that she has a stomachache and is with her, I am afraid it will affect him.

"Miss Lin Xi is polite, since that's the case, I'm on the road, and I'm going to go to the imperial capital for a good visit!" Du Ziteng smiled and said, now it is obvious that Lin Xi is in some trouble, and the other party said this, he must not be willing to participate in it, so he will not ask more.

After the death of the martial artist, the Yuan Force is not visible, unless it is a pulse test to know the level in front of the other party, otherwise it looks like an ordinary person, Du Ziteng did not test the strength of the few people in front of him just now, naturally I don't know how big Lin Xi's trouble is.

In his opinion, this place is not far from the emperor, as long as she enters the imperial capital, she will be absolutely safe, and no one will dare to do anything to a person from the Lin family in the imperial capital, so naturally there is no need to care about the other party's affairs.

Lin Xi hugged her fists and saluted, and then walked in one direction, however, after not taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and asked as if she was a little embarrassed: "Excuse me, how to get to Willow Creek City?"

Du Ziteng was slightly speechless and pointed in one direction.

Liuxi City was next to the imperial capital, and Lin Xi planned to go there first, and then think about it in the long run.

With directions, you shouldn't get lost this time, right?

After the separation, Lin Xi thought as he walked straight in this direction.

But she is obviously naïve, Lin Xi has been walking for three days, and still has not walked out of the forest, she looked at the sky speechlessly, her body is a little sticky, and there is always a faint bloody gas, she wants to clean it now, but, why did she go to the wrong place this straight away?

Could it be that the direction of that stomachache finger is wrong? No, it shouldn't be bad from his previous character, so he went the other way again.

But obviously in his previous life, he didn't recognize the way so much, right?

Looking around, it was only green trees, and she couldn't tell the direction at all, she suddenly remembered that Tang Yao had discerned the direction from the position of the sun before, so, how did she distinguish it?

Thinking of this, why didn't this Tang Yao talk to her for so long? I used to greet her several times a day, such as good morning, good evening, did you eat, of course, most of the time Lin Xi always didn't respond, because he didn't think it was interesting.

If she doesn't speak, she won't speak, so don't take the initiative to speak!

She thought a little angrily, then pulled out the gloom, stroked the hilt of the sword, and murmured: "Desolation, gloom, whether I can get out of this forest this time depends on you." ”

The body of the Annihilation Sword trembled slightly, as if he was puzzled, and Lin Xi put the hilt of the sword against the ground, the sword body pointed straight up, and then suddenly let go.

Without the support of those slender hands, the blade fell down and fell to the ground, Lin Xi looked at the point of the tip of the sword, picked up the gloom, and said softly: "If you can't get out of the forest this time, I blame you." ”

And then he walked in that direction.
