When Jiang Xuan was surrounded by monster beasts, the hidden Qing Qi was bewildered.
“Strange, how did another monster beast show up? I don’t remember this. Jiang Xuan, a martial artist, facing two Earth Martial Ninth Stage monster beasts, isn’t that a bit too much?
Still, he’s so good at cultivating it’s possible his fighting ability is just as extraordinary. Better watch this for now.
When he can’t dodge the attack, I’ll just save him from the lethal blow. By then, when I pretend to be ‘on my last breath’ and reveal my feelings, he’ll definitely be moved.”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan concentrated all of his incredibly pure spiritual energy, after compression, into his legs.
Facing attacks from two Earth Martial Ninth Stage monster beasts, he dodged them with an extremely bizarre way of moving.
For a while, he actually managed to dodge all their attacks.
Qing Qi in the shadows was amazed.
“No way, how am I supposed to get into this? Give me a chance to step in!”
Finally, the parasitic spider hiding inside the Wind Demon Evil Tiger couldn’t take it anymore.
It secretly sent a web coated with venom towards Jiang Xuan.
However, Jiang Xuan noticed it and easily dodged. Unluckily, right in front of him, the Wind Demon Evil Tiger’s massive claw struck!
This combo skill left Jiang Xuan flabbergasted.
In mid-air.
Knowing he couldn’t avoid this claw, Jiang Xuan immediately focused all his spiritual energy into his fists, preparing to face it head-on.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Xuan.
Upon seeing it was Qing Qi, Jiang Xuan felt a surge of joy.
“Good, good, good! Little Qi finally came out. I thought she would only help when I was heavily injured. It seems she still has a heart. I didn’t choose the wrong ‘sister’.
Looks like it was worth cooking for her all the time. Hurry up! You need to be the hero and save me! Don’t worry, I’m ready to act surprised and give you some heartfelt responses.”
On the surface, Jiang Xuan acted shocked.
“Little Qi, you…”
Before he could finish, the Wind Demon Evil Tiger’s massive claw sent Qing Qi flying, along with Jiang Xuan who was in mid-air, far away.
Jiang Xuan: “?????”
Even after they were pushed far away and landed, Jiang Xuan was still dazed.
“What is going on here? Why wasn’t I told about this ‘hero rescuing the damsel’ thing? Is there something wrong with my approach? No way, a half-step Martial Master wouldn’t let himself be tossed around by a monster beast in Earth Martial realm.”
On the surface, Jiang Xuan appeared flustered and helped Qing Qi up.
“Little Qi, what happened? How could you have dodged that attack for me? You’re such a fool!”
While asking, Jiang Xuan began checking on Qing Qi’s condition.
Though he knew that a mere small fry like a low-level monster beast couldn’t harm Qing Qi, he still had to act.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuan was stunned by what he saw.
Qing Qi’s blue clothes were stained red, her face pale, and bl**d still on her lips.
Being a skilled doctor, Jiang Xuan realized that the bl**d was staged and the pale face was due to some kind of medicine.
Seeing Qing Qi putting on such a committed performance, Jiang Xuan muttered to himself sarcastically:
“Not again, Little Qi. What a great performance, really. You were trying to put on a sad story for me instead of being the hero.
This is… hard to judge…. Fine, you’ve been doing this for me; I guess I should go along, too. It’s only fair…”
On the surface, Jiang Xuan’s eyes slightly shrank, panic-stricken and at a loss for words, voice trembling:
“Little Qi, why are you hurt so badly? Hold on, I’ll heal you right away..”
With those words, Jiang Xuan took out a bandage from his storage ring.
Isn’t carrying bandages around a normal thing for someone with top-notch medical skills?
At this point, Qing Qi held onto Jiang Xuan’s hand.
“Big Brother, don’t worry about me, I’m fine, it’s all my fault for coming late… Glad you weren’t hurt, Big Brother…”
“Little Qi, don’t talk anymore, let me help you get healed…”
“You must hear me out. Some things, I might not get to say later… Please, Big Brother, let me finish…”
“This… This won’t work…. You need to rest, whatever you want to say, I’ll listen after you get better… Let me check your injuries…”
Qing Qi knew very well she wasn’t hurt and didn’t need healing. Her goal was to fully capitalize on this rare moment and completely capture Jiang Xuan’s attention.
Noticing Jiang Xuan’s flustered look, Qing Qi internally rejoiced,
“Hah, men… You really fell for it.”
She feebly pleaded,
“Big Brother, after spending so many days with you, I’ve always listened to you obediently. This time, please, let me do as I wish. Can you let me finish?”
Jiang Xuan: “…..”
Internally, Jiang Xuan sighed,
“Geez, what an impressive performance. If I didn’t know she wasn’t hurt, I’d probably cry myself to sleep.”
On the surface, Jiang Xuan’s eyes turned red, holding Qing Qi’s hand tightly.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you, but promise, you must hold on. I swear, I’ll save you.”
Then, Qing Qi handed Jiang Xuan a wooden kn*fe.
“Big Brother, when I found you, this was all I could see. I searched everywhere near the little hut but couldn’t find you.
Later, when I got here, things were dangerous for you. Thankfully, I arrived just in time. Otherwise, I’d regret it forever…
Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. My injuries… are severe, and I… may not make it… Can you grant me one last request?”
The moment Qing Qi finished speaking, Jiang Xuan was moved, tears welled up in his eyes.
“Little Qi, anything you ask, I’ll agree. I can’t let you leave like this. I promised you I’ll get stronger, and find your parents for you.”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan thought to himself,
“d*mn it, Little Qi really plans to play the tragic drama. She must be up to something big.
And under these conditions, I can’t reject any of her requests. Whatever it is, I’m doomed.”
“Big Brother… I’ve known your kindness… actually… I don’t want to be your sister…. rather than a sister… I want to be….”
Before she could finish, a monstrous roar interrupted both Jiang Xuan and Qing Qi.
Jiang Xuan raised his head and noticed that the Crimson Armored Earth Dragon, which had more power, was lying on the ground, lifeless.
Jiang Xuan guessed the reason.
After all, a toxic little monster like the parasitic spider was inside the Wind Demon Evil Tiger.
Because of the roar, they switched roles—defending instead of attacking.
As the Wind Demon Evil Tiger approached, Jiang Xuan took the wooden kn*fe from Qing Qi.
“Little Qi, we’ll talk later, you need to rest. The monster that injured you will be hunted down and made into soup.”
Qing Qi: “?????”
At this moment, Qing Qi was thoroughly perplexed. She had planned every move, everything under control, and was about to finish off when this unknown monster ruined it.
Fuming, Qing Qi acted weakly and said to Jiang Xuan,
“Big Brother, that monster is brutal, run away, don’t mind me…”
“Not a chance! That monster chased me half a day and injured you. I won’t run. Little Qi, wait for me.”
With those words, Jiang Xuan delicately settled Qing Qi and then walked towards the Wind Demon Evil Tiger with the wooden kn*fe.
At the same time, in his mind, Jiang Xuan addressed the System,
“System, keep your eyes open. Witness the true power of your host!”
System: “……”
