Guan Heng was very obedient. He took the secret manual that Xie Ziyou gave him and went to cultivate.
His talent was really amazing. His cultivation improved by a small step every few days and a big step every month. Even Xie Ziyou, who was used to seeing protagonists, was shocked by the speed of his progress.
Although he was shocked, Xie Ziyou was very happy. After all, his talent in cross-dressing was also extraordinary. The protagonist improved quickly so that he could catch up with Xie Xiannu's cultivation and take revenge as soon as possible.
While he was creating the most suitable cultivation plan for Guan Heng, he was also making plans to earn points in the future.
In order to make the protagonist be patient and live in seclusion, he specially prepared a long speech to educate the protagonist when he couldn't bear the loneliness.
However, Xie Ziyou waited and waited, and this speech didn't come in handy.
For the first six months, Guan Heng never mentioned going out.
Xie Ziyou was relieved. He was indeed the protagonist. His patience and tenacity were not something that ordinary people could compare to.
A year later, Guan Heng killed a level four Tiger King and climbed up the mountain that it had once occupied. He took Xie Ziyou to a beautiful maple forest halfway up the mountain and settled down in the depths of the forest.
After that, Xie Ziyou watched as Guan Heng weeded, cultivated the fields, and used his celestial Qi to irrigate fruits and vegetables every day.
It was infuriating!
This wasn't farming. His golden finger didn't have a portable space or a spirit spring!
Xie Ziyou never dreamed that the first person to suggest leaving Luo Ling would not be Guan Heng, but himself.
It couldn't be helped. The protagonist had no intention of revenge at all. He happily farmed and cooked every day. The entire mountain area was almost developed by him into a farmhouse!
However, when he suggested leaving, Guan Heng looked puzzled.
"Why do you want to leave?" The teenager was puzzled. "You don't like living with me?"
Xie Ziyou was speechless.
It didn't matter whether he liked it or not. The problem was that he didn't have any points!
Guan Heng looked at him with curved eyes and said with a smile, "You don't be anxious. I found a Spiritual Joy Tree on the southern slope. It will mature and bear fruit in half a month. Why don't we wait for another half a month?"
Xie Ziyou pouted and said angrily, "I'm a spirit artifact in human form, so I don't need to eat or drink. These appetites …"
Guan Heng raised his index finger. "The Spiritual Fantasy Fruit is sweet and juicy, and it can give people pleasant dreams. It's ranked in the top 100 of the continent's Guide to Delicacies."
"…"
"… Forget it." Xie Ziyou turned his head slowly. His tone was light and lacked confidence. One could even vaguely hear the sound of him swallowing.
"Let's wait then. It's not like we're short on time."
…
Time flew by, and the sun and moon flew by like a shuttle.
The Luo Ridge could be considered an otherworldly place. It was full of spiritual energy, and the four seasons rarely changed in the mountains. The plants were exposed to a high concentration of mystical energy all year round. Even if they hadn't become spiritual plants, they were still luxuriant, and it was like spring all year round.
Half a month passed, and then another half a month passed. Guan Heng could always find a reason that Xie Ziyou couldn't refuse, so he delayed the matter of leaving the ridge again and again. Unknowingly, time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
Xie Ziyou sat on a small stool made of wooden stakes and looked at the horizon as the sun gradually moved to the west.
The thick fog that shrouded the mountains all year round blocked most of the view. The thick water vapor drifted in the air, and it was slightly sticky.
"You!"
A relaxed and cheerful voice penetrated the thick fog and reached Xie Ziyou's ears.
The teenager's white and delicate ears trembled slightly, but he didn't move. He just rested his chin on his hands and sighed softly.
The thin fog dispersed, and a thin and vigorous figure gradually appeared in the distance.
In the past two years, Guan Heng had grown a lot taller.
He was originally only an inch taller than Xie Ziyou, but now he was a whole head taller. The remaining childishness between his eyebrows had completely disappeared, and his facial features had become more profound. His sword-like eyebrows were slanted, and his eyes were like stars. The outline of his face was as handsome as a knife.
He walked over quickly and saw Xie Ziyou's figure from afar. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and his smile was bright and sunny.
Guan Heng carried a huge grass carp on his shoulder. Water droplets slid down the fish's tail and fell on his smooth wheat-colored arms.
The fish's body was three meters long, and its head almost touched the ground. It was round and dull, but its mouth was filled with ferocious sharp teeth. It hadn't died yet, and it was still full of energy after leaving the water. It fiercely swung its thick tail, twisted its body, and tilted its head to bite Guan Heng's neck.
At the same time, the oppressive water vapor suddenly gathered, and the cold air in the air became thicker. A sharp cry faintly came from the thick fog, and Yingbai shot out like a fish in water.
The white light was as sharp as a blade, and its speed was so fast that it was almost invisible. It was hidden by the thick fog, and it shot toward Guan Heng's back like a hidden arrow, wanting to pierce him into a hedgehog!
Guan Heng didn't turn around.
He didn't stop walking, and the hand holding the big fish quietly pressed down.
The cyclone gathered in his palm, and it turned into Thunder Xuan Li with electric arcs and flames. In the blink of an eye, it penetrated the big fish's snow-white belly and accurately touched the Beast Core inside. With a loud bang!
"Crack!"
The Beast Core was immediately shattered.
A large amount of Xuan Li flowed along Guan Heng's palm, and was absorbed into his body. It circulated a few times in his meridians, and turned into pure Xuan Li without any attributes.
After suffering a fatal blow and having its cultivation taken away, the big fish's tail, which was raised high up in the air, instantly lost its momentum. Its round eyes were dyed with wisps of grey. It struggled and swayed a few times before it finally lowered its head dejectedly and breathed no more.
At the same time, the thick fog that shrouded the world all year round began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The flowing fluorescent light converged and quietly fell to the ground, inserting itself into the soft soil.
Looking carefully, the flowing light was actually a piece of Yingbai fish bones. The small ones were only the length of a finger, and the big ones were a meter long. They were inserted straight into the ground, like sharp javelins.
As the thick fog dispersed, the sunlight became brighter, and the beautiful outline of the mountains could be faintly seen in the distance.
With such an unforeseen event, Xie Ziyou only casually raised his eyes, lightly glancing at the big fish, and immediately turned his head away in boredom.
The System reminded him by his ear: "You you, look, this fish is the overlord of the river, close to the sixth level, and is about to break through."
Xie Ziyou listlessly blinked his peach blossom eyes, and weakly replied: "Oh."
The main character was indeed the main character. In these two years, Guan Heng's cultivation soared like a rocket.
His cultivation was also very simple. He only needed to hunt Xuan Beasts in the mountains, and devour their cultivation. His thin body seemed to hide countless black holes, and large amounts of Xuan Li were consumed. Leveling up was as simple as eating and drinking, and he had never encountered a bottleneck.
Two years ago, his meridians were severely injured, but now it seemed that Guan Heng had benefited. Now his meridians were wider, and he did not need to condense Elixir. Xuan Li filled his entire body, and he could be used at any time.
Therefore, he could easily defeat the Fish King, who was about to break through, with his cultivation at the fifth level.
But Xie Ziyou held his chin, watching Guan Heng skillfully set up firewood, light a fire, and set up a stone pot filled with water, and felt extremely helpless.
"… Guan Heng." He called out in a low voice.
Guan Heng was skillfully using a stone knife to slice the fish.
Hearing Xie Ziyou's call, the youth immediately raised his head, and said with a smile: "You you? What's the matter? "
Xie Ziyou's pretty eyes widened, and he pointed at the Fish King whose stomach had been cut open: "Why did you bring it back?"
"To make fresh fish and mushroom soup for you." Guan Heng laughed.
His hands did not stop, and his movements were clean and nimble. Accompanied by the fine and crisp sound of the stone knife striking, the youth's palm swept across an afterimage.
A strong gust of wind blew, and in just a few seconds, the Fish King, which had been lively just a moment ago, was cleaned up, turning into slices of even thickness, translucent and delicate meat, neatly arranged on the stone slab.
Xie Ziyou's eyes twitched.
He had given this set of consecutive knife techniques to Guan Heng, and its name was very bold: "Wind Dance of the Nine Heavens". It was originally a famous secret technique of an almighty person in another world, and every knife strike was twice as fast as the previous one.
Layer upon layer, until in the end, the knife strikes were so fast that it was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. It was like a sudden wave, and a strong wind blew, making it impossible to block.
As the main character, Guan Heng's comprehension was indeed very high.
He only needed three days to learn this extremely difficult saber technique.
Then …
Thus, it became his special knife technique for cooking and chopping vegetables!
It was simply a waste of God's gift!
Xie Ziyou grabbed a small stone from beside his hand and angrily threw it at Guan Heng. "How many times have I told you that I'm a spiritual artifact, and I don't need to eat!"
The stone landed on the smooth muscles of Guan Heng's arm, and was instantly bounced off without leaving a trace.
It was a little itchy.
Guan Heng touched the place where the youth had thrown it, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up again.
In his eyes, the youth in front of him had changed slightly in the past two years, and he still looked as stunning as when they had first met.
His facial features were exquisite, and when he was angry, his small lips were tightly pursed, and the corners of his long and narrow eyes were faintly red. The fine lines between his eyebrows were bright and colorful, like rising flames, lively and gorgeous.
'So good,' Guan Heng thought.
He had never felt so satisfied before, and only felt that happiness was so simple.
If he could be with You forever, even if he lived in the wilderness, it would be no different from living in a bustling paradise.
"Gurgle gurgle …"
The water in the stone pot gradually boiled, and the bubbles spun on the surface, exploding into fine splashes.
Guan Heng's heart also seemed to have bubbles rising, and full of warmth spread from the bottom of his heart, almost causing his blood to boil.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his momentarily chaotic emotions, and poured the Yingbai fish slices into the boiling water, and put down all the other forage materials.
Not long after, a luxuriant fragrance wafted out, filling the wide valley.
"Come, You." Guan Heng scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to Xie Ziyou.
Xie Ziyou crossed his arms and angrily glared at him, saying angrily, "I don't need it."
"Have a taste, this is a sixth-level Fish King, and ordinary game can't compare to it."
Guan Heng blinked his eyes. "I deliberately chose this season to challenge it — the weather is slightly hot these days, and it's the time for fish to grow fat. The meat is the most elastic, and it's the most tender and plump."
Xie Ziyou coldly snorted, and simply wanted to roll his eyes.
This person challenged the Xuan Beast not to cultivate and level up, but to eat it?
And he deliberately chose the season — aren't you afraid that if you delay for a few more days, it will break through and turn you into a meal?
Xie Ziyou continuously slandered him in his heart, but when he smelled the rich fragrance that assailed his nostrils, he still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He turned his head awkwardly, not looking at Guan Heng's smiling face, and reluctantly took the stone bowl.
"Gurgle gurgle …"
The fish was delicate, and it melted in his mouth. The taste was fresh and delicious, and Xie Ziyou had never tasted it before. The soup was full of Xuan Qi, and with one mouthful, a refreshing feeling spread through the blood vessels in his whole body. Every pore opened, and he was intoxicated by it.
As Xie Ziyou drank, he gritted his teeth and thought, "This can't go on."
What was supposed to be a xuanhuan level-up style was almost turned into a game of survival in the wasteland by Guan Heng!
Where else could he go to gain Hatred Points?
After racking his brains, Xie Ziyou finally found an excuse in his mind.
He raised his head slightly and shouted at the young man on the other side of the fire, "Hey, Guan Heng, don't you want to know how Guan Jia is now, and whether Xie Ziyou has kept your promise?"
The branch in Guan Heng's hand that was used to pick up firewood paused slightly.
"What can I be worried about?"
He chuckled softly.
Guan Heng's voice was still calm. He had his back to Xie Ziyou, so Xie Ziyou couldn't see his expression, but he could feel that there was an inexplicable meaning in his words, as if he was worried, but not worried, and as if he was resentful.
Xie Ziyou's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't say the next sentence, "Aren't you worried about how your father is?"
This experience had already become a knot in Guan Heng's heart.
But after swallowing a mouthful of delicious soup, Xie Ziyou still felt worried.
Even if this method didn't work, he couldn't give up. He had to think of another way.
… … If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain.
Since Guan Heng doesn't want to leave Luo Ling, can't I make an issue out of Xie Xiannu and send someone to disturb Guan Heng's life?
It just so happens that the Central Academy's triennial enrollment day is coming soon. Maybe I can … …
Xie Ziyou racked his brains to think of a solution, and unknowingly drank the entire bowl of soup.
He lowered his head and glanced at the empty stone bowl. He felt a comfortable heat flow through his body, little by little, and bit by bit, he bit his lower lip.
The delicious taste of the fish soup still lingered in his mouth.
Xie Ziyou's long, feathered eyelashes trembled violently. After a moment of silence, his wrist trembled slightly, and he handed over the stone bowl with trembling hands.
"Hmm?"
Guan Heng, who was adding water to the pot, turned his head and looked at the young man.
Xie Ziyou's cheeks were flushed red, and his gaze was fixed on a dead wood in the corner.
After a long time, he reluctantly squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"… … Give me another bowl."
Guan Heng stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Okay."
He said softly. His tone was extremely gentle, with a hint of doting that he didn't even realize.
