âThen what should we do?â Leng Qingtian glared at Lin Liang with some displeasure. Xu Xing was right that he really cared about the lives of ordinary people. Unfortunately, what Xu Xing didnât know was that he, Leng Qingtian, cared more about the safety of his loved ones and friends. Although those people were innocent, he couldnât be so noble as to endanger his family and friends for strangers. He was also selfish.
âDonât worry. Letâs discuss a good plan,â the old man said. They really didnât know what Xu Xing was thinking. He actually planned to use ordinary people to threaten them. In fact, at their level, how many of them would be soft-hearted? Whose hands were not stained with blood? Moreover, they could even sacrifice relatives if necessary, so what were these commoners?
âItâs definitely not wise to go out to die while knowing that theyâre threatening us,â Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
âHowever, I can go out and lure them away,â Leng Ruoxue continued. It was impossible to send her family and friends to their deaths because of strangers! But if the commoners were persecuted because of them, it was also not the outcome they wanted to see. She could leave them in the lurch, but she didnât want anyone to be hurt because of her. She was also very conflicted about this.
âNo way!â the few people present said in unison. Even the beasts that slowly surrounded her had disapproval written all over their faces.
âMaster, I wonât let you out.â The little black fox jumped into Leng Ruoxueâs arms coquettishly.
âYes, Master. Itâs too dangerous outside. Donât go out,â Rise said as he wrapped himself around Leng Ruoxueâs wrist.
âMaster, Charm will be worried.â Charm also jumped into Leng Ruoxueâs arms. The people outside were all Spiritual Deities of similar strength to them, but they outnumbered them by more than twofold. With such a huge disparity in combat strength, it would be wise to hide and wait for the right opportunity.
âMaster!â The word âworryâ was written in Quillâs sharp eyes.
âDonât be so nervous. Iâm just going out to lure them away. If thereâs any danger, Iâll come in immediately,â Leng Ruoxue explained. She probably wouldnât have such thoughts if not for the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.
âIn that case, weâll go out with you,â the old man said after some thought. He couldnât let the little girl go out alone. Instead of worrying about her inside, it would be better to go with her.
âNo, you stay inside. If too many people go out, we will become separated. We wonât be able to take care of each other then, and it will be easy for problems to arise.â Leng Ruoxue denied the old manâs idea.
âOkay, all of you stay inside! I definitely have to go with Xueâer,â Freak said seriously while chewing on a spirit fruit.?Xueâer better forget about leaving me behind!
âYou stay inside too!â Leng Ruoxue said unquestionably.
âXueâerâ¦â Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly with tears shining in his eyes.
âDonât play dirty!â Leng Ruoxue said without any room for negotiation and immediately left the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.
Then Leng Ruoxue summoned Quill.
âQuill, letâs go lure those people away! This is the only thing we can do for the innocent commoners now.â Leng Ruoxue sat on Quillâs back and patted his giant eagle head gently.
âYes, Master.â Quill nodded happily. He flapped his huge wings as he jumped into the air. He knew that his master wouldnât leave him behind.
âWhatâs so great about him? Isnât it just a pair of wings?!â Dazzle said with a face full of envy in the bracelet.?Boohoo⦠Why donât I have wings? If I could fly, Master wouldnât have called that stinky bird out.
âThatâs right. Actually, I can fly too, but Master has never asked me to fly. She only calls that annoying bird!â Rise complained. He also grew a pair of wings after advancing to divine beast. But unfortunately, his master had never used him once.?Boohooâ¦
âMaster doesnât love me anymore,â Charm, who had always been composed and understanding, said with some disappointment.
âXueâer is mine!â Ye Chen roared furiously as he looked at the beasts wallowing in self-pity.
âMaster is ours!â the beasts shouted in unison, unwilling to be outdone.
Leng Qingtian and the others had a few black lines on their foreheads as they listened to the conversation between Ye Chen and the beasts. Alas! The enemies outside were eyeing them, yet they were fighting within!
Outside the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, Quill carried Leng Ruoxue and quickly caught up to Xu Xing and the others.
âXu Xing, are you looking for me?â Leng Ruoxue stood on Quillâs back in midair, facing Xu Xing and the others.
âHmph! A puny little Spiritual Sovereign actually dares to be so arrogant,â Xu Xing said disdainfully while looking at Leng Ruoxue with hatred.
âThatâs better than exploiting the might of others!â Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile, neither irritated nor angry.
âLeng Ruoxue, youâre dead meat. I wonât let you go!â Xu Xing roared in anger, his eyes shooting out raging flames.
âReally? I really want to know why you wonât let me go?â Leng Ruoxue deliberately provoked.
âYouâ¦â Xu Xing couldnât take it anymore. He was about to rush over and kill Leng Ruoxue when someone stopped him.
âYoung Master said that Leng Ruoxue canât be killed,â said the person who stopped Xu Xing expressionlessly.
âSenior, donât worry. I wonât kill her. I just want to teach her a lesson so that her claws donât hurt Grandpa,â Xu Xing explained.
âDonât hurt her face,â the man warned coldly before retracting his arm, no longer stopping him.
âThank you for granting my wish, Senior.â Xu Xing bowed gratefully. It seemed like his efforts during this period had finally paid off. Otherwise, why would these people be so easygoing?
âLeng Ruoxue, take this!â Just as Xu Xing was about to use his Frosty Palm, he saw the eagle flying away with Leng Ruoxue. He was so angry!
âChase!â someone said. Xu Xing and the others released their flying spirit beasts to chase after Leng Ruoxue.
âQuill, fly slower,â Leng Ruoxue said very kindly. These people might be Spiritual Deities, but it was obvious that they didnât do well in the Upper Realm. Otherwise, why would their spiritual beasts be inferior to hers!
