"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"
The system beep rang out in his head.
Xu Que's heroic words had moved the both of them.
Actually, they had heard many similar words of risking one's life before. However, that was only because of their special identities.
But now, they were very clear that this black robed man didn't know of their true identities. In addition, this black robed man had even shown mercy to the Blood Python. The both of them were convinced by Xu Que's willingness to help others.
After all, this was a cold world where the strong were respected. The fact that Xu Que was able to say such words to these two unfamiliar women when they were at their wits' end and were about to lose all hope was like a ray of light in the world of cultivators.
Hence, at this moment, Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess not only had a good impression of Xu Que, they also felt a myriad of emotions that were hard to describe. If they had to use a phrase to describe their inner feelings, it would be … There is true love in this world!
"My friend's kindness, I will forever remember it. If I can return alive, I will definitely repay you!" Zi Xuan was extremely touched as she promised earnestly.
Even the Flaming Sun Princess, who had a cold and arrogant personality, couldn't help but say the word "thank you" to Xu Que.
"Don't mention it. My life's wish is to do my best to help the people of the world!"
Xu Que waved his hands and spoke plainly.
His eyes then looked up to the sky once again. His face was filled with melancholy and a thick aura of acting tough!
The two ladies' eyes froze as their hearts trembled.
What a man of noble character and unquestionable integrity. His actions were so noble and noble. He must be a true gentleman!
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"
Xu Que's heart was filled with joy. He had finally recouped the cost of the human skin mask.
However, he didn't care about the reward that these two women had mentioned at all. It wasn't that he was that great, it was just that he didn't care about the so-called reward. The interactions between cultivators were nothing more than spiritual medicines, magic tools, or spirit stones, and Xu Que didn't lack any of these three.
As long as he wanted it, he could just rob it from any evil demonic sect. There was no need for others to give it to him.
…
Soon, the three of them set off and rushed out of the forest.
However, this combination was somewhat strange. Xu Que was wearing a human skin mask, so no one could recognize him.
As for the Flaming Sun Princess, her face was covered in dust and she was dressed like a village girl. Even Xu Que couldn't recognize her.
After all, he did not expect that a dignified princess would fall to such a state, and the biggest reason was the cold and aloof temperament of this princess, which was completely different from the cute and helpless "princess" in his impression.
Therefore, the three of them simply began this journey of escape.
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan were still very nervous and apprehensive. They were afraid that the elite assassins of Sky Demon would suddenly appear. If it was just one or two, it would still be fine. If it was three or four, the two of them would definitely be in despair.
Xu Que didn't mind it at all. As long as it wasn't an Infant Transformation Stage assassin, he could rest easy.
Hence, Xu Que carried the Dark Buster Sword on his back and walked in front with a majestic gait. His aura was still as … awesome as ever!
Perhaps it was because of his additional 20 Charm Points. Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess, who were walking behind him, felt an indescribable sense of security when they saw Xu Que's silhouette from behind. Their hearts were filled with an indescribable sense of security.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!"
The system beep rang out abruptly in Xu Que's mind. Xu Que couldn't help but smile. He was already used to it. Besides, this was the first reward he'd received after exchanging for the human-skinned mask!
Hence, right now, Xu Que was hoping that the assassins would come out quickly so that he could act tough more.
"Roar!"
Deep within the forest, the roars of demonic beasts could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that the assassins weren't completely safe and would definitely alarm some demonic beasts.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and was about to rush towards that direction.
Zi Xuan hurriedly spoke out, "My friend, we can't go any further. Let's take a detour!"
Xu Que paused for a moment before laughing out, "I'm sorry. That was just a natural reaction. I thought there were demonic beasts up ahead causing trouble and subconsciously wanted to help!"
"My friend is so chivalrous and courageous. This little girl here admires you!" Zi Xuan laughed out. This was the first time she had a good impression of a stranger.
The Flaming Sun Princess remained silent and didn't speak much.
Xu Que ignored her and smiled humbly at Zi Xuan, "Miss, you're overpraising me. I'm just doing what I should be doing!"
"Oh yes, how should I address my friend?" Zi Xuan asked.
Xu Que clasped his hands, "My name is Hua Wu Que!"
Actually, he wanted to use another name. However, in the martial arts novels in his previous life, there were only a few handsome men. For example, Chu Liu Xiang, Li Xunhuan and the like. However, Xu Que didn't have time to think and blurted out the name 'Hua Wu Que'.
"Hua … Wu Que?" Zi Xuan paused as if she recalled something.
The Flaming Sun Princess's eyes were filled with surprise as well. She raised her eyes and looked at Xu Que.
"Eh, could it be that you've heard of my name before?" Xu Que asked curiously.
Zi Xuan smiled and shook her head, "No. It's just that there's a word 'Que' in your name. It reminds me … Eh, I had a friend who had a 'Que' in his name."
"So that's how it is." Xu Que nodded his head and continued walking. He didn't seem to have any intention of asking for their names.
This caused Zi Xuan to be startled as well. She looked at the Flaming Sun Princess and secretly stuck out her tongue as she smiled.
The Flaming Sun Princess squinted her eyes but didn't say anything.
Disregarding their statuses, both of them were considered to be among the best in terms of looks and aura. They were the cream of the crop amongst the five nations. Countless geniuses treated them like stars surrounding the moon. However, this was the first time they were treated so coldly. Their hearts couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Princess, this Young Hero Hua is really not bad. If we manage to escape, we can make friends with him. Hehe, when the time comes, if you restore your original appearance, he would definitely be shocked speechless by your unparalleled beauty. "Zi Xuan moved closer to the Flaming Sun Princess and whispered.
The Flaming Sun Princess glared at her and didn't say a word.
She didn't know why, but she had a little bit of anticipation in her heart.
This anticipation wasn't because she had a good impression of Xu Que. It was because she wasn't willing to accept the fact that she was ignored. She wanted to see his shocked expression when her identity was revealed.
However, it was fortunate that the two of them didn't wipe off the dust on their faces. If not, if Xu Que recognized the Flaming Sun Princess, he wouldn't even care about acting tough. He would definitely use his Dark Buster Sword and might even use his Buddha's Fiery Lotus.
...
Not long after, night gradually fell.
Zi Xuan took the initiative to ask Xu Que to stop and rest for a while.
After all, the two of them had been on the run for an entire day. Their core energy had been greatly depleted. Even if they were of the Golden Core Stage, they would still be exhausted.
Xu Que couldn't wait to stay in the forest longer to find a chance to act tough. Hence, he would gladly agree.
