The Night King: The Asura
Ch-201a. The return of Xiao Xue
Time returned rolling very quickly, without realizing it, several months had passed very quickly and at this time, Xie Long's age had already reached fourteen years.
In other words, Xie Long still had three years before the first exam period ended, which was to reach the realm of Supreme Emperor when he was exactly seventeen years old.
If he managed to pass this first test, then the road to obtaining his grandfather's relics was getting closer, but if he failed to pass this first test, then he would have to give up all those inheritances.
This first exam does have a fairly long deadline, but that does not mean Xie Long can relax just like that, because this first exam is the determinant of everything, but it does not mean that Xie Long can relax just like that, whether or not he gets that legacy depends on this test.
Other than the difficult test, there was still a big problem that made the burden of his mind increase, namely the problem with the Wind Dragon sect.
Although it had already been several months, but the matter had still not been resolved, because until now, Xie Long had still not been willing to accept the invitation from the patriarch of the Wind Dragon sect.
The reason, of course, was because Xie Long was already aware of the sect patriarch's rotten intentions, even though the invitation was well-meaning, but Xie Long could smell the stinging stench of the invitation.
"Zilong."
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Wouldn't we just accept the invitation of the patriarch of the sect?"
Xie Long paused his steps after hearing Huanran's proposal, then a long sigh rang out from his mouth, "Xia Hua, haven't I reminded you not to discuss this anymore?"
"But..."
"Look! I don't want to come there not because I'm afraid of them, but I'm afraid they're hurting you, so please, don't discuss this matter anymore!"
Yep! The only reason that made Xie Long reject the invitation was Huanran, if he was only alone, it might have been a long time since Xie Long had come there and created chaos in the sect.
Xie Long did so not because he doubted Huanran's strength, instead he greatly admired Huanran's fighting ability, only, that, Xie Long was too scared and did not want Huanran to get hurt while they were there later.
Moreover, after obtaining information regarding the patriarch of the Wind Dragon sect, and from all the information he obtained, there was no one to say that the patriarch of the Wind Dragon sect was not a sneaky person.
"Sorry" the tone of Huanran's voice sounded soft.
"Hah" Xie Long took a deep breath, "I promise, this matter will be resolved as soon as possible."
During these few months, Xie Long had not thought about the matter, instead he thought so much about it that he forced himself to increase his cultivation, in fact, he had ignored the warning of the figure within him.
In addition to the information regarding the cunning of the patriarch of the Wind Dragon sect, Xie Long also obtained information regarding his strength and cultivation level, therefore, Xie Long still had to fight to increase his strength in order to defeat the patriarch of the Wind Dragon sect.
For the time being, Xie Long's cultivation was at the realm of a three-star Expert, and his full strength was equivalent to that of a seven-star Expert realm cultivator, while the patriarch of the Wind Dragon sect, was, his cultivation alone was already in the realm of Nirvana.
"It's dark soon, we should rest here" said Xie Long, then let go of his hand and started collecting firewood.
Evening has arrived.
Xie Long and Huanran were sitting near a bonfire made by Xie Long, he deliberately made a campfire using the power of the sky fire, so that the fire was not extinguished before he wanted it.
A few months together made Xie Long know many things about Huanran, one of which was like fear of darkness. In fact, Xie Long had often reminded Huanran to fight his fear, but the result was the same.
"You're still thinking about that?"
Huanran shook his head softly, "That's not what I think."
"Then?"
"Hahaha" Xie Long laughed at Huanran's reply, "I'm here, why think about it?"
"No way!?"
"Don't get me wrong, you can think whatever you want to think, including thinking about me."
"Then why are you laughing? Is something funny?!"
Xie Long smiled, "Close up."
Although a little annoyed, but Huanran still obeyed Xie Long's request by sitting near him, just after he sat down, Xie Long then embraced his shoulder to make Huanran fall in his arms, besides, he fell, Xie Long also clasped his fingers.
Xie Long's sudden treatment made Huanran misbehave, his common sense ordered him to break away from Xie Long's embrace, but his heart said the opposite.
Since the first time they had traveled together, this was the first time Xie Long had hugged Huanran, so it was only natural that it made him misbehave, even his face already resembled the red of a tomato.
Xie Long himself also did not understand why he could do that, because everything seemed to happen naturally without him planning before, and honestly, as long as it never crossed his mind to hug Huanran.
"Xia Hua, can you still be patient?" xie Long asked, but only answered with a nod by Huanran.
"Thank God, then I want you to be patient for another year, after that, I'll take you to see my mother."
"U-for what?"
"You'll know later, obviously, you should be able to be patient for another year" Xie Long replied.
Huanran nodded, "If you only knew that if I had waited for you for a long time, you probably wouldn't have said this to me" Huanran said in his heart.
"But it doesn't matter, as long as I can be with you, let alone a year, more than that doesn't matter, because I'll still be patient waiting for you."
The cold of the night wind was no longer felt by Huanran, because the warmth coming from Xie Long's embrace was able to fortify himself from the bone-chilling cold.
"Xia Hua."
"Hmm?"
"I'm..." Xie Long hung up his words, then loosened his embrace.
The curious Huanran then raised his face to look at Xie Long's face, but because it was too close, they almost kissed, but instead of staying away, the two instead held on to the position.
Such a silent atmosphere made the two drift away in their respective feelings, slowly but surely, their faces moving closer and closer to each other, with their eyes closed allowing instinct to guide them.
"Ekhem!"
The voice made the two of them open their eyes, and immediately, the two of them immediately moved away and threw away each other's faces, either from embarrassment or shock at the sound.
"Master!"
Xie Long flinched when he heard someone's voice not far from him, not because of his words, but because his voice sounded familiar to his ears. And sure enough, when Xie Long turned his head, he found a black Phoenix that was not far in front of him.
"Xiao Xue!"
