Chapter 77 Summer Insects Cannot Discuss Ice
Chapter 80 Summer Insects Cannot Discuss Ice (2k)
In a small town on the outskirts of an ancient forbidden zone.
The forces of many ancient and powerful families have gathered here.
Hundreds of knights sat atop various mythical beasts, training day and night, their killing intent soaring and their fighting spirit soaring.
The flags of Jiang, Ji, Yaoguang, and Daxia each occupied a side of the town, fluttering in the strong wind.
Dozens of bronze chariots, stained with black blood and riddled with knife marks and sword holes, exuding an ancient and desolate aura, patrolled tirelessly along the array formations in the town.
Inside the town, countless independent cultivators, drawn by the propaganda of several major forces that promised them elixirs upon arrival, were waiting for their daily elixirs.
"So, do you think those people are even useful?"
Someone gestured towards a small tent in the very center of the town, vaguely surrounded by numerous tanks and soldiers.
To the left of the small tent was a five-colored chariot pulled by nine phoenixes, and to the right was a divine jade chariot pulled by a strange beast resembling a golden god.
"I don't think it's very useful. They all have the Demon Emperor's inheritance, so what do these people have to do with me? If they die, they die."
Some people looked over with a smile, their tone subtly mocking the major families.
"Exactly, exactly. Even if you really care that much, it shouldn't have happened."
"As long as they don't show up, I don't believe these holy sites will actually kill those people."
"In my opinion, we should continue to provide them with the same good food and drink as we are now."
As he spoke, the man pointed to the spiritual food being sent into the tent, and waved the spiritual medicine in his hand, which was dozens of times less effective, and said jealously, "Look, look, it's all the flesh and blood of a great demon at the Dao Palace realm, a thousand-year-old treasure medicine."
"Tsk tsk, we risk our lives for this little bit of spiritual liquid, but for those who are associated with the Emperor, it's a completely different story—even going to jail is a different matter."
Wang Ziwen accepted the spiritual food offered by the warriors of the ancient clan, sighed, and closed the tent, keeping the gossip outside.
"Hey, do you think Sha Xiao and the others ran away?"
Lin Jia looked at these spiritual foods that even elders in the cave heaven might not be able to eat in the past, but she had no appetite at all.
There's no way around it; anyone who's constantly wondering if this meal is their last will be their last will be hard-pressed to have a good appetite.
"Hmph, these holy lands are useless. They can't catch Sha Xiao and Ye Fan, so they capture us to vent their anger. What good will that do?"
'
Li Changqing took a big bite of the spiritual food, and his whole body immediately glowed.
"Hey, who can argue with that? If it weren't for Sha Xiao and the others, we would all have become immortal masters by now, instead of living such a miserable life."
Wang Yan fiddled with her nails while nibbling on the spiritual food.
"This can't be blamed on Sha Xiao and the others, can it? Everyone in the sect knows that we came out of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone."
"Besides, no matter what, if they want to get in there, they'll definitely find us even without Sha Xiao and the others."
Liu Yiyi spoke softly, her gentle tone revealing her indignation on behalf of Sha Xiao and the others.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the scene became somewhat quiet.
Everyone understood what Liu Yiyi meant by those words.
Why were the people from those major sects able to accurately capture each and every one of them before they even entered the sect?
They knew in their hearts that they had been betrayed by the sect.
"Huh? Why aren't you blaming them?"
Wang Yan said sourly, "You're still defending him? Face reality, Sha Xiao just doesn't respect us."
"Otherwise, why wouldn't he tell us just how strong he really is?"
As she spoke, she glanced outside the tent and lowered her voice, saying, "I heard that the sect leader of Lingxu Cave Heaven fled with them. The entire Lingxu Cave Heaven was wiped out by a peerless powerhouse!"
"Think about it, everyone. Who is the sect leader? If he didn't think Sha Xiao had potential, why would he risk his life to follow him?"
Wang Ziwen raised his head and whispered, "Yesterday I heard some cultivators saying that Sha Xiao and Ye Fan are actually descendants of a peerless figure from the demon race."
"I think it's not impossible. Look, the cultivation method that Sha Xiao talked about is completely different from ours now. It's obviously not something a human would cultivate."
Zhang Ziling shook his head: "Impossible. If that's the case, Zhou Yi also cultivates Sha Xiao's techniques, does that mean he's also a demon?"
It would have been better if Zhang Ziling hadn't been mentioned; the mere mention of him only made Wang Yan more sour.
"Hey, doesn't that prove it even more?"
"Zhou Yi truly deserves to be called one of the best talents in our class. He must have realized long ago that Sha Xiao was no ordinary person, which is why he voted for her."
"Look at that guy here, wasn't he arrested because he had nothing to do with Sha Xiao?"
As she spoke, Wang Yan's eyes darted around, and she looked at the delicate and frail Liu Yiyi, laughing like a gossipy village woman: "Oh dear, wait, there's another young lady here who gave me a bracelet."
"Oh my, that explains why those people were so sure that Sha Xiao and the others would come."
"What a pity, they don't know that this 'sister' is a slut who's still restless even after getting married."
"Sha Xiao, on the other hand, is only interested in insects."
"You, you—!"
Liu Yiyi's face turned deathly pale, her fingers clenched into fists until her knuckles turned blue, and her chest heaved violently.
Li Xiaoman, who had been sitting in the corner meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, strode up to Wang Yan, and looked down at her.
"What, what are you going to do?"
Looking at Li Xiaoman, who was already proud and aloof, and who became even more stunning and unapproachable after regaining her beauty, like an untouchable celestial maiden, Wang Yan's tone immediately softened.
“Pah!”
Li Xiaoman acted swiftly and decisively, slapping Wang Yan so hard that her eyes went blank, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she fell to the ground with a thud, rolling twice.
"You—you!"
Wang Yan covered her face, looking at Li Xiaoman in disbelief.
How dare they? Don't they care about any friendship at all?
Li Xiaoman raised her hand, and several strands of divine chains shot out from her body, wrapping around her slender fingers.
"This is!"
Lin Jia suddenly stood up.
"The Fountain of Life!?"
Wang Ziwen stared wide-eyed and murmured.
Everyone else looked at Li Xiaoman with surprise, who had remained silent since entering.
"clank--!"
Li Xiaoman clenched her fist, made a rattling sound as she pulled the divine chain, and slowly walked up to the trembling Wang Yan.
"Have you begun your spiritual practice?"
Li Xiaoman's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was deafening to everyone's ears.
Everyone understood the meaning behind those words.
Li Xiaoman was merely a nobody, yet she could say, "I don't eat beef."
The fact that those holy lands outside were on high alert shows that Sha Xiao's cultivation level far surpasses theirs.
He can still remember the friendship he formed during his university years, which was neither too much nor too little. It guided them on their path of spiritual practice, found them a teacher, and provided them with invisible protection. What can anyone say about that?
Besides, since they have taken on the responsibility of providing protection, why complain when they are implicated?
Li Xiaoman glanced disdainfully at Wang Yan, then turned and led Liu Yiyi back to the corner of the tent, sitting down leisurely.
He didn't look at anyone else once from beginning to end.
You can't talk about ice with a summer insect!
For some reason, everyone who looked at Li Xiaoman had this thought in mind.
Only then did they realize that they, Li Xiaoman, and Sha Xiao had been from different worlds in terms of mindset since their time on Earth.
Several kilometers away on the mountain, Sha Xiao nudged Ye Fan, winking and teasing, "Tsk tsk, that slap was really cool. Ye, how about it, have you changed your opinion of Li Xiaoman?"
Ye Fan smiled helplessly: "Forget it, it's all in the past. We're not compatible, it's a matter of mindset."
Sha Xiao chuckled at Ye Fan but said nothing more, because he knew it was true.
He and Pang Bo had predicted back in college that the two of them would never end up together.
Ye Fan simply felt that conquering Li Xiaoman, this icy beauty, would be very prestigious.
Li Xiaoman, on the other hand, only ever wanted the best, and Ye Fan was more like a proof to her.
As they expected, the two were nominally boyfriend and girlfriend, but they never took any further steps beyond holding hands.
Sha Xiao stood up, shook Pili Kala's shoulders, and grinned: "Alright, it's about time. You go rescue them, I'll say hello to them."
