"Those ducklings are so pretty. Uncle Zhao Kuang, can I play with them?" The little girl raised her small face. Her big eyes were shining brightly and adorable.
"Eh! Uncle! "
Zhao Kuang's face twitched. 'I'm only eighteen this year. I'm not that old, right?' He felt miserable inside. The little girl was too cute and made one feel pity for her. It was not good to get angry. He smiled and nodded, but it was uglier than crying.
"Thank you, uncle."
Shi Shi jumped to the lakeside and reached out her small hand to stroke the mandarin ducks. A faint milky light flowed out from her palm and entered their bodies. The 'ducklings' closed their small eyes and enjoyed it very much.
"Radiant Spirit Body is indeed extraordinary," Zhao Kuang said enviously.
The little girl played for a while and walked over with a lack of interest. She raised her small head and said, "Brother, I miss Little Bug and Little Flash. How nice would it be if they were here."
"Brother will accompany you home to see them later, okay?" Wutian comforted. The little girl was still young and would not be able to forget her companions of many years in a short period of time.
"Ao ao …" Xiao Yi moaned softly. She rubbed her snow-white head on the little girl's body as if she was comforting her.
"Xiao Yi, I know they can't come here, but I really miss them." Shi Shi frowned and was unhappy.
"Little sister, don't be sad. Uncle … Brother Zhao Kuang will catch a few butterflies and birds for you to play with tomorrow, okay?" The little girl was like a little fairy. Anyone who saw her sad couldn't help but want to protect and comfort her.
"Uncle, I'm fine." Shi Shi was still unwilling to change her words. This made Zhao Kuang speechless.
"Brother, Shi Shi is tired and wants to rest."
"Your residence is Sky Number Nine. I'll take you there." Zhao Kuang felt very sullen. Among the younger generation of Ironstone Town, he was not the most handsome, but he was still one of the top few. However, in the eyes of the little fairy, he was only an uncle.
There was a long bridge made of ancient wood that was smooth and smooth. It led directly to the two shores. The few of them walked on the bridge. Zhao Kuang urged them. There were aquatic beasts in the lake that would attack from time to time. They had to cross quickly.
With a peng sound, the surface of the water exploded. Waves surged several zhang into the air, washing away this area. A water demon that was five zhang in length rushed out. Its scales were dense, and it was dark and suffused with light. It was extremely sinister.
"Damn it, why did it come out?" Zhao Kuang frowned and stood in front of them.
This was a Black Iron Crocodile. Its body was as hard as black iron, and it was difficult for swords and sabers to injure it. Its lantern-sized eyes emitted an ominous glint that could capture one's soul. Its thick and powerful legs were two meters long, which was extremely terrifying.
"Brothers, hurry up and leave. Once this beast comes out, it won't stop until it sees blood!" Zhao Kuang's expression was grave. The Blacksteel Crocodiles were the kings of this lake, and they were ferocious and terrifying. He ordered Wutian to lead the others away first.
Wutian was shocked as well. Although the strength of this demonic beast couldn't compare to the Five-colored Viper Lightning Eagle, it was extremely ferocious. Its dense scales were suffused with a dim light, and it was extremely dangerous.
He reached out to grab Shi Shi, but his hand missed. He saw the little girl jump in front of the bridge. Her big eyes were as pure as a mirror, reflecting the moon and the stars. She stretched out her small hand, wanting to grab the Black Iron Crocodile.
"Roar!" With a roar, the Black Iron Crocodile swooped down. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing five inch long fangs that were extremely sharp and terrifying.
"Little girl, be careful!"
"Shi Shi!" Wu Tian was very anxious. He hurriedly took a step forward, picked up the little girl, and ran away. But she broke free, jumped up, and threw herself at the big guy.
"Little Yu, don't be so fierce. Play with me, okay?" She was no longer sad. Her big eyes were clear, and her white clothes fluttered in the wind. She was like a little fairy that had descended to the world, holy and pure.
The Black Iron Crocodile's fierce eyes suddenly became gentle. It closed its mouth and fell into the lake, floating on the water's surface. Shi Shi landed on its body, and it roared. It didn't hurt the little girl, but it was a little unhappy that it couldn't eat its food.
The little girl didn't care. She laid on the big guy's head, and her pure eyes looked into the Black Iron Crocodile's eyes. "Little Yu, Shi Shi is so cute, but you still want to eat me. Shi Shi is so sad."
"Woo woo!"
The big guy roared, shaking the water's surface. It swam away, not hurting the little girl, and played with her.
"Brother, the Little Worm and Little Flash that Shishi mentioned just now, are they also monsters like this?" Zhao Kuang was dumbfounded. He knew better than anyone how ferocious the Black Iron Crocodile was. But at this moment, it was playing with the little girl like a baby. This was completely beyond his scope of understanding.
"Brother Zhao, please take me to my residence." Wutian smiled bitterly, and didn't answer the question.
Zhao Kuang was stunned. "You're just going to leave your sister here?"
Wutian shrugged. He was very indifferent.
"Alright, follow me." Zhao Kuang looked at the little girl who was playing happily on the lake again. "The Radiant Spirit Body is really incredible."
Wutian shook his head. For the Black Iron Crocodile to be so obedient, the Radiant Spirit Body was only secondary. The main reason was that her heart was pure and untainted, and she knew how to communicate with monsters. Perhaps in this world, only the little girl could do this.
Soon, he arrived in front of a pavilion built with ancient wood. He looked up and saw a green dragon carved on the door. It was winding and winding, and it was alive.
This place was surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was simple and elegant, and it was indeed a place to cultivate.
"Creak!" Walking through the door, Zhao Kuang saw paintings hanging on the walls. They were carved in an ancient style, and they were extremely beautiful.
"This is your residence."
Zhao Kuang took out a palm-sized token with the word "Zhao" carved on it. "This is a pass. With this, you can come and go as you wish. Oh right, how should I address you?"
"Gu Yi." Wutian took the token, glanced at it, and put it away. He was careful not to say his real name.
Zhao Kuang said, "Brother Gu Yi, I have something to tell you. There are people living in the other pavilions, and they are all participants like you. They are all geniuses from different villages or towns, and it's inevitable that some of them have strange personalities. If there's nothing important, try not to disturb them to avoid conflict."
"Thank you for telling me."
"Alright, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. I'll take my leave now." Zhao Kuang cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Wutian walked out of the door and looked at Zhao Kuang's back. He frowned and thought for a moment. He came to the lakeside and sat on the ground. He took out a piece of Qi essence and started refining it. The Qi essence overflowed, making the place hazy.
Xiao Yi lay down beside him. Under the moonlight, her snow-white fur emitted a gentle light. She was absorbing the Qi essence to strengthen herself.
Little Tian ran onto the Black Iron Crocodile and played happily with Shi Shi. At first, the big guy was dissatisfied and wanted to throw it into the lake, but after the little guy tore off a piece of meat with his steel teeth, the Black Iron Crocodile was scared and obediently followed his orders like an obedient baby.
Four hours later, the little girl seemed to be tired from playing. She returned to the shore, her body dripping wet. Wutian quickly stopped and hugged her tightly in the room to prevent her from falling sick.
They had played crazily for the entire day. She quickly fell asleep on the bed with Xiao Yi beside her. The little fellow also wanted to join in the fun, but it was grabbed by Wutian and brought back to his room.
Late at night, moonlight shone down, covering the earth in a layer of silver.
The backyard was silent, but suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside. Wu Tian, who was in deep sleep, moved his ears and immediately woke up. He turned over and climbed up. Through the window, he saw a figure walking over from the long bridge.
"Zhao Kuang? It's the middle of the night. What is he doing here? "
He quickly put on his clothes and carried the unwilling Little Tian out of the room, following behind him. Not long later, he followed Zhao Kuang to the first building on the right, Sky Building 1.
Zhao Kuang stood at the door and seemed to be hesitating about something. After a few breaths, he sighed and lightly knocked on the door. Soon, there was a creaking sound and Zhao Kuang walked in. However, there was no light in the room and it was pitch black.
Wutian put Little Tian on his shoulder and signaled for it to be quiet. He bent down and silently walked to a window to listen carefully. But he did not notice that there was also a figure on the roof looking at him with a strange gaze.
"Who came to Sky Building 9 today?" A hoarse voice sounded from inside.
"They are just ordinary people who came to participate in the Yan Sect's test." This was Zhao Kuang's voice.
"Ordinary people? Ordinary people can have a flying fox? That girl has a light spiritual body! Haha, I'm really lucky this time to meet a special body type. Oh right, what did Zhao He say? Have you thought it through? "
"Father told me to tell you that he hopes that you can cancel the plan this year. After all, we already attracted the sect's attention last year. If something like this happens again, the Zhao Family will face the danger of being exterminated. It will not benefit you if the Zhao Family is exterminated."
"Hmph, you are afraid of the Yan Sect, but are you not afraid of us? This time, father personally gave the order. If you do not complete the mission, you will die too. "
"You are clearly pushing the Zhao Family into the fire pit!" Zhao Kuang's tone was furious.
"Haha, the Zhao Family has worked for me for many years. I am not a heartless person. If we succeed this time, I will report to father and let him give Zhao He the position of elder. You will also become father's direct disciple. Maybe we can even remove the control over you."
Zhao Kuang was silent for a while and said, "I cannot make the decision on my own. I must discuss it with father."
"My time is limited. You must give me an answer tomorrow night." After this voice finished speaking, footsteps sounded.
Wutian quietly left and returned to the pavilion. He stood at the window and frowned. The voice of the mysterious person gave him a very familiar feeling, but he could not recall who it was.
"Tap tap …" Not long after, Zhao Kuang walked over. Under the faint moonlight, one could faintly see that his expression was ugly. His brows were furrowed and he looked like he had a lot on his mind.
"Looks like this place is not normal."
Wutian lay on the bed. He was even more tired than Shi Shi today and quickly entered the dream realm.
