Lin Xiu gave Huo Long a look, signaling him not to act rashly, lest he alarmed Jin Ling and disturb her breakthrough. That would not be good.
At this moment, Huo Long's heart was filled with depression. He had been suppressed by Huo Ling 'er before, but now, a little girl who was only at the peak of the Sky Yuan Realm was actually able to fight evenly with him. Moreover, through this battle, she had smoothly entered the Universe Realm.
The depression in his heart made him want to cry, but no tears came out. For a moment, he even forgot that his body was still bleeding.
Huo Ling'er glared at Huo Long, then threw a bottle of healing pills to him. She immediately sat down cross-legged and began to protect Jin Ling. Although this place was very remote, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen.
After consuming the elixir, Huo Long began to get closer to Lin Xiu. He was not a fool and could naturally see the ambiguous relationship between Lin Xiu and his young miss.
"Brother, what's your cultivation level? Why do I feel that you are unfathomable? "Huo Long transformed back into his human form and sat opposite Lin Xiu.
"This one has only cultivated for a short period of time, my cultivation realm is not worth mentioning. I just broke through by luck and entered the third level of the Universe Realm." Lin Xiu revealed a smile on his face, but it made Huo Long's expression change. This guy was really too much of a blow to him.
What kind of monsters did his young miss get acquainted with? The human in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, yet he was already so powerful. This caused Huo Long to feel a deep sense of defeat in his heart.
"Tell me the truth, are you really an old monster with a high cultivation level? You can't really be in your twenties, right?" Huo Long asked unwillingly.
"To tell you the truth, I am not even 30 years old this year." Lin Xiu's words completely destroyed the hope in Huo Long's heart. His eyes rolled back and he actually fainted from the blow.
After an hour or so, Jin Ling finally completed her breakthrough. At this moment, her eyes were brimming with vigor. The fatigue from before had been swept away, and the aura from her body was even more overbearing than before.
Huo Ling'er stepped forward and kicked the fire dragon, causing it to wake up. She then brought Lin Xiu and Jin Ling to her residence and arranged a cave for them.
"The two of you can stay here for the time being. I plan to head to the palace tomorrow morning and tell father about Lin Xiu's intentions." Huo Ling'er reached out and rubbed her temples. She didn't have much confidence in her heart. This matter was truly too thorny.
Lin Xiu revealed a grateful smile and entered the cave abode. The decorations here were extremely simple and it could be seen that Huo Ling'er was not a greedy person. Other than pursuing strength, there should be no other requirements.
When the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, there was a sudden knock on Lin Xiu's door. Lin Xiu tidied up his clothes and gently opened the door.
It was Jin Ling. He didn't know when this little girl actually tiptoed over to him. At this moment, Jin Ling stretched out her index finger and made a shushing gesture with her mouth.
After entering the room, Jin Ling closed the door and walked to the stone table casually. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Why are you here at this time for no reason? If others see you, what if they say that you molested me? "Lin Xiu stared at Jin Ling playfully.
Unexpectedly, the latter was not afraid at all. Instead, she let out a cold snort and revealed a trace of provocation in her eyes.
"Even if I lend you 10 guts, would you dare?"
Lin Xiu felt a little helpless and could only shrug his shoulders and smile bitterly.
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I came here is that I realized that the relationship between you and Sister Ling'er is not as simple as an ordinary friend." The gossipy look in Jin Ling's eyes became more and more intense. For her, she had successfully broken through and entered the Heaven and Earth Mirror. In the future, when she returned to the clan, she would naturally be able to obtain a status that was different from today, so she slowly slacked off on her cultivation. Instead, she was extremely concerned about some matters of others.
"What else could it be? Back then, Huo Ling'er was seriously injured and only had a spirit body left. I happened to be not far from that mountain range. In order to protect her life, she could only temporarily reside in my dantian. After that, as a deal, I helped her find treasures to reconstruct her body and she taught me some knowledge about cultivation. "This was not considered a secret and Lin Xiu immediately told Jin Ling.
After hearing about the series of things that the two of them fought side by side, the latter suddenly clenched her fist and gently hammered Lin Xiu's chest.
"Are you a fool? I wonder if you've heard of the saying that love grows with time?" Jin Ling looked at Lin Xiu as though he was an idiot, at the same time, she waved her hand in disdain and then skipped away.
She came to find Lin Xiu this time after careful consideration.
During the day, the three of them reunited and it was obvious that there was a rare shyness in Huo Ling'er's eyes. This made the sensitive Jin Ling know that this sister of hers had probably taken a fancy to this human youth.
But the two of them were too familiar with each other and were unwilling to poke through that layer of window paper. Out of boredom, Jin Ling sneaked into Lin Xiu's room and revealed the last layer of fog for them when it was already late.
At this moment, only Lin Xiu was in the room and he was pacing back and forth.
Jin Ling's words also made him realize that all these years, he did not completely treat Huo Ling'er as a teacher.
Thinking about Huo Ling'er, for the sake of his cultivation, she did not hesitate to use her own origin power to display the skill of rising from the ashes, Lin Xiu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Over the years, the two of them fought side by side and with Huo Ling'er's help, he was able to grow from an ordinary youth in an ordinary human city to a genius warrior that was famous even in the entire continent.
He could naturally guess the worry in Huo Ling'er's heart. If the two of them were to slowly get along with each other in their current state, they could still be the best of friends.
But Lin Xiu already had a wife and child now, if she said her thoughts, she would not be able to get over the hurdle in her heart.
Lin Xiu was a little upset for a moment and kept recalling the bits and pieces of the two of them together. Although Huo Ling'er was only a spirit body at that time, she was always by his side. Whenever he encountered danger, if not for her help, he was afraid that he would have become a pile of bones by now.
Lin Xiu was naturally sure that there was a trace of affection in his heart for Huo Ling'er.
He was different from Liu Yun. He had only known her for a short period of time, so he was able to nip his feelings for her in the bud. However, Huo Ling'er had been inseparable from him ever since he was young. It was only when he had reached a certain level of cultivation that he had decided to leave the human domain.
In fact, if he thought about it carefully, there was a trace of this matter before, but he was just unwilling to believe it and had been deliberately avoiding this fact.
Lin Xiu did not know that after Jin Ling walked out of his room, she went to Huo Ling'er's residence. Both of them were women, so naturally, they could whisper a lot of things that outsiders did not know.
"Sister Ling'er, do you think that Lin Xiu is an idiot? I have already said it so clearly just now, but he still has a silly look on his face. "Jin Ling scratched Huo Ling'er's armpit, causing the other party to laugh like silver bells.
"He is such a silly person. Back then, in order to save his father's life, he did not fear death at a young age. In the end, when he found out about his mother's situation, he decided to leave his hometown and started a life of wandering. "
"Hard work pays off. In just a short dozen years, he has obtained his current cultivation. In the eyes of many, he is an extremely talented martial artist. However, only I know that he has always been an ordinary young man."
As Huo Ling'er spoke, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
"Since he is just an ordinary person, then why do you still like him, Sister Ling'er?" Jin Ling blinked her big eyes, then used her hands to support Huo Ling'er. After thinking for a while, she suddenly lifted up Huo Ling'er's shirt.
"Ah, you stupid girl, how can you be so naughty." Huo Ling'er was caught off guard and revealed her snow-white smooth skin.
Fortunately, there were only the two of them here. If others saw it, who knew how much saliva would flow out.
After playing around for a while, both of them were a little tired. They lay quietly on the bed and stared at the bluestone above them in a daze.
"It is precisely because he has always been that kind-hearted young man who does not forget his original intentions that I fell in love with him." Huo Ling'er let out a sigh.
Once some people missed out, no matter how they tried to redeem themselves, they would never be able to return to their previous state.
