"Xika's? Is that you?"

Lang Hu stepped closer to confirm the figure he saw. And that figure was indeed Xika. The man he's been looking for for the past few days.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you for days."

"Not anywhere. I'm just staying here. Why are you looking for me?"

"Ah, the leaders asked me to call you. There's something they want to talk about."

Xika wanted to ask what she wanted to talk about, but it seemed that Lang Hu did not know either. So he followed Lang Hu towards the leaders.

"Then your friend also said he could come along. They also wanted to ask him a few things."

Shu Mang also got up and followed Xika. Finally he was able to break free from Lang Yao's terrible torment. He was willing to do anything to escape the wolf, and now the opportunity was in front of him.

Lang Jin walked hand in hand with Xika while Shu Mang walked behind Xika. Although happy, but he was still not used to and nervous with the wolves. So he just watched Lang Hu without speaking.

"Have they arranged for troops to enter the mine?"

"Yes, pretty. But he said they still needed a little more practice. I think it has something to do with you."

"How many are coming? Are all the tribes participating?"

"About three hundred. Almost all participated. My father forbade them from participating, not those who were afraid. He forbade them because there were only a few strong wolves in their race. He feared that if the main wolf that was the pillar of the people fell, the people would perish. So he forbid them."

Xika nodded. Then he saw his feet. There was indeed a slight stiff feeling, but it was much better than before. When he was in the Qi Gathering, surely his body would be sick or stiff after being silent for so long. But now that he had broken through to the Qi Forming, that feeling diminished a lot.

"Ah, how is your relationship with Hongbao?"

"We're doing fine. Rather than that, I'm more curious about you. Are you not interested in having a partner? Or are all humans like that? But as I recall I've seen humans in pairs."

When he heard Lang Jin's question, a figure appeared within Xika's head. A very beautiful figure, but also cold and had no expression. Xika thought back to the girl. About what he's doing right now, huh?

Lang Jin looked at Xika and understood her expression.

"Ahhh. I get it."

"What's? What do you understand?"

"You already have a girl you like, don't you? You just hesitate to say it? Like when we first met."

"Huh? N-no.. You misunderstood."

"Shhh. I also said that when Lang Yi and the others teased me. They always say 'you don't have to hide. We understand'. I used to not understand what they meant. But now I understand."

Xika sighed.

"I told you you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I-I still don't know......."

Lang Hu turned to Shu Mang.

"Hey, you. Do you know who the girl Xika likes?"

Shu Mang replied rather stiffly.

"Eh? A-ah, no. I didn't know he liked a girl.........."

Lang Jin stopped walking and widened his eyes. Xika also stopped walking because she was confused by the wolf.

"What's wrong with you?"

"So......."

Then Xika understood that Lang Hu was misunderstood due to Shu Mang's answer.

"No, no, no. You misunderstood. I'm a hundred percent normal. Okay?"

"But, he said......."

"I like girls okay? I'm still normal."

"Aah! I guessed! So who's the girl?" lang Hu asked while banging his shoulders at Shu Mang who he felt had helped trap Xika.

"I'm still not sure."

"Ahhh.......you are not sure when the right time? Take it easy, I can give you some advice.But before, I had to look at the girl to know where and when was the right time."

"Lang Hu's. I'm the one who helped you express feelings for Hongbao."

"really? Why don't I remember?"

"Then I'll beat you up to remember!"

But before Xika finished her words, Lang Hu had already run away. Xika ran after him. But after that he realized that his legs would not be able to rival Lang Hu's feet. So he jumped up and spread his wings.

"Ohhhhh!!! Cheating! You have wings!"

"You have your own feet."

"You have legs too!"

"My feet are different from yours!"

"But I don't have wings!"

"At least you have fur."

Shu Mang only saw the man and the wolf chasing while shouting. He was not used to seeing things like this, you could even say never. But it looks like it's pretty fun. So he also ran after Xika.

"Wait for me!"

Then the three of them were chasing and only stopped when it was close to where the wolves were practicing.

Heaven Deity Sect, Main Residence.

THE PLAQUE!

"FOUNDER STUPID KID! You met that boy? And you let him live?"

Tian Yin did not reply. He gave a cynical smile even though his cheeks were hot.

THE PLAQUE!

Tian Yin looked at his father hatefully.

"What's? See what you are? Huh uh?"

"I saw a useless old man who was about to die soon."

THE DUAK!

"DISAPPROPRIATE CHILD! You pray me to die? Huh huh? HUH UH?"

Tian Yin fell down due to his father's kick. He rubbed the blood dripping from his lips. Then he stood up and ran.

"REALLY! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD, FUCKING PARENTS!"

And he raised his hand to his father's face. Unfortunately, the blow did not land. His hand floated in the air, halted due to his father's kick in the stomach.

"YOU WISH I WERE DEAD? WHERE'S YOUR REPLY ALL THIS TIME? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU CAN LIVE TO THIS DAY?"

THE DUAK!

This time his father gave Tian Yin a fist until his only son fell back. But Tian Yin did not apologize or feel guilty.

"Heh. Of course it's all because of you. I'm like this too because of you, old fucking jackass!"

THE DUAK!

Tian Yue kicked his son to the point of being thrown a few meters away. But Tian Yin's gaze did not change. In fact, his hatred deepened against his father.

-----------------------------

Xika stared at the hundreds of wolves that were training in the field with wide eyes. He had never seen them train before, at least not this much. Some of the wolves he had seen and known while others Xika had never seen at all.

Then he turned his head and found Lang Yi lunging at another wolf and they both rolled around. Either fight or what. Some wolves do the same. That seems to be the way they practice.

Then he saw the other side. Some wolves lined up in a ready-to-run position. Then I heard a signal and smoke began to appear. Wolves do things differently. Some were running away, some were lining their entire bodies using qi, and some were giving an attack on the direction the fog was coming from.

And Xika understood that the wolves were training to face the poison fog. He was quite impressed with them. It seems like the wolves did not take this matter lightly. Then some wolves approached.

"Where are you, boy? I've been looking for you for days!"

As soon as it came, Lang Yan immediately nagged.

"Isn't Lang Hu looking for me? Don't tell me you're lying?"

"................ Where the hell have you been?"

Xika did not care about the old wolf. He ran towards another wolf with a larger body and jet-black fur, then hugged it.

"Heiliao."

Heiliao rubbed his big head at Xika. Then Xika took off her embrace. Heiliao looked at himself from top to bottom checking if the boy was okay.

Whush!

Huo Bing appeared and perched on top of Heiliao's head.

"How are the wolves?"

"The half-baked."

"The wolf's charred."

"The half-baked bird!"

"The wolf's charred!"

"All right, that's enough. What did you call me here?"

Lang Yan stepped forward.

"Look, we want-"

"-ask for your help. We've been practicing poison for a few weeks. I think we're ready enough. But the old wolf was still unsure. Also, he wants to ask you to make a space gap and let these wolves try it. At least they got used to it when they got there."

"Why did you cut me?"

Heiliao ignored Lang Yan, as well as Xika. And made Lang Yan stare at the two alternately in annoyance.

"If space, there will be you. Why should I ask myself?"

"So you can practice too. You haven't practiced using the space element yet, have you?"

"But isn't it too much?"

"Just calm. I'll be here to watch."

Xika nodded. Then he turned his head and did not know when the wolves were back in the crowd.

"Hey, Xika! How are you?"

"Did you bring another card? I will avenge my defeat this time."

"Are the other humans okay?"

"Can you tell me about our Alpha's disgrace?"

And immediately the wolves closed their mouths because of the sharp gaze Heiliao gave. Inwardly, they all cursed the wolf who was curious about their Alpha disgrace.

"Alright, alright. Say enough. Now you're gonna move space. Try to get used to it."

Xika approached Heiliao.

"How far do I have to move them?"

"About a few kilos. You can?"

"I'll work it out."

Heiliao nodded. Then Xika raised both her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes. The others looked at him curiously, including Lang Yan and Shu Mang.
