"Brother, what are you going to do from now on? Do you want me to send you back to the shore? "
Duan Xiong chuckled and looked around.
At this time, the fog in the surroundings had almost dissipated.
The vast lake was calm and tranquil. It was a rare good weather.
"I wouldn't dare to trouble you, brother."
Chu Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Next, we can go back to the shore by ourselves. Brother, you've been floating on the water for a long time. You're getting old, so be careful not to let the humidity harm your body. Brother, goodbye."
In fact, Chu Chen had already decided to leave this old fox as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew if he would continue to scheme against him.
The sooner he left, the safer he would be.
Duan Xiong's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to say something, his gaze suddenly swept across a point in the distance. His face suddenly revealed a meaningful smile, "Brother, you really don't want me to send you back?"
"Of course."
Chu Chen nodded. However, when he saw the old man's treacherous smile, his heart suddenly tightened.
He was too familiar with this smile. It was only when Duan Xiong started to scheme against others that he would reveal this smile. Such a thought flashed across his mind. Chu Chen's eyelids twitched and he looked around.
When his gaze swept across a certain direction, he suddenly froze, and his entire body froze.
It's over!
I'm going to be eaten by this old fox.
With the vision of his Silver Roc avatar, he could easily see that in the distant waters, a large black ship was braving the wind and breaking the waves, rapidly moving in their direction.
Those large ships were embroidered with blood-colored waves sweeping across the sky. They were the pursuers of the Black Blood Auction House. They hadn't given up and were still chasing after them!!
"Uh …"
Chu Chen's eyes twitched violently. He couldn't help but look at Duan Xiong with a bitter smile, "Brother, I'll have to trouble you to send us back …"
"Cough cough …"
Duan Xiong pretended to cough. He straightened his face and nodded solemnly.
"Brother Chu, let's settle accounts clearly between brothers. That's one thing. Just now, I wanted to send you off. That was a service I provided for free out of friendship. But since you rejected it, it doesn't count anymore. Now, you want me to help you escape from danger? You have a favor to ask of me, so I'll charge you a fee. "
"What?"
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, and his vision went black.
He knew that compared to this cunning old fox, he was really too young and inexperienced.
"Brother Chu, you also know that this is a small business. I'm already so old, yet I'm still working so hard to row the boat. It's not easy … Since we're talking about business, then everything can be discussed. As long as you give me two storage rings, I'll do you a favor and help you escape from the Black Blood Tribe. "
"Elder Duan, you, you're too evil!"
Chu Chen was completely at a loss for words. He was just sending the two of them to the other side of the river, yet he actually asked for two storage rings and even said that he was doing them a favor?
This old thing … Why wasn't he struck to death by lightning?!
Just as Chu Chen's mind went blank because of Duan Xiong's extortion …
Zi Xi, who was next to him, calmly handed over two storage rings.
These were the spoils of war that Chu Chen had obtained when he killed the first batch of demon cultivators with the Giant Mountain Domain on the shore.
Duan Xiong's eyes lit up, and he immediately beamed with joy as he took the storage rings.
"Hahaha, that's right. This little girl is quite clever. I like it. Brother, you're lucky. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Xiong let out a long laugh and pushed the bamboo pole in his hand. The light boat immediately turned into a beam of light and sped forward.
With Duan Xiong steering the boat at full speed, the pursuers from the Black Blood Auction House were quickly left behind.
After sailing in the desolate lake for more than an hour, the small boat finally crossed the vast lake and arrived at the shore.
"Haha, brother, take care. We'll meet again if fate wills it."
Watching Chu Chen and Zi Xi disembark from the boat, Duan Xiong stood in the cabin and chuckled. His cunning old face was full of smiles.
"To be honest, every time we meet, she causes trouble for brother. I think it's better if we don't meet."
Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha, that's hard to say."
Duan Xiong looked meaningfully at Chu Chen and then at Zi Xi. "Brother, from the looks of your relationship with this girl, you've been through thick and thin together. I'm sure good things will happen soon. Don't forget to send me an invitation when you attend a wedding banquet in the future. Let me join in the celebration. "
"Uh …"
Chu Chen's mouth twitched. He turned to look at Zi Xi, only to see that the usually cold girl's face was slightly flushed.
"Brother, you're thinking too far ahead. Let's part ways here."
With that, Chu Chen didn't wait for Duan Xiong to say anything else. He hurriedly pulled Zi Xi and transformed into a gray light that sped away into the distance.
Duan Xiong looked at the backs of the two as they left. His eyes suddenly became deep.
"Kid, we're fated. We'll meet again. But at that time, it's hard to say whether we'll be friends or foes. I hope we won't become enemies. Otherwise, I'll have to kill you."
As Duan Xiong muttered to himself, Chu Chen and Zi Xi were already more than ten thousand feet away.
To be honest, he was really afraid of this cunning old fox.
He wasn't afraid of his cultivation or magical powers. Instead, he was afraid that this old man would come up with another idea and rob him of all the treasures he had worked so hard to obtain.
When dealing with this old man, he really had to be extremely vigilant. It was as if he was treading on thin ice.
After leaving Desolate Lake's sphere of influence, Chu Chen also relaxed. He began to chat with Zi Xi casually as they hurried in the direction of the Dark Devil Sect.
Along the way, Zi Xi seemed to have something on her mind. She often sat there alone, thinking silently about something.
Even when Chu Chen asked her questions, she only responded occasionally.
However, Chu Chen was already used to it. When he talked to the girl, he was actually talking to himself.
However, Chu Chen still noticed that the girl was a little different from before.
She was in a daze. In the past, when the girl was in a daze, she was in a very ethereal state. It was obvious that she didn't think about anything or care about anything. She was just simply letting herself go.
However, during the journey, she was in a daze. It was obvious that she was thinking about something.
However, Chu Chen knew the girl's temperament, so he didn't ask much. Three days later, the two of them returned to Duxu Peak.
"I'm going to take a shower."
As soon as they returned to the reception hall of Duxu Peak, Zi Xi left after saying this.
