“Watch it. They want us to. After all, we’re pleading with them to deduct fewer points from our team,” Jiang Xiao whispered.
Xia Yan pursed her lips and seemed to be rather reluctant. However, she nonetheless let go and put him down.
Jiang Xiao was looking forward to watching the two Lava Ghoul Witches mate because such opportunities were rare. After all, there weren’t that many Lava Ghoul Witches.
Jiang Xiao tiptoed towards the corner of the tunnel and whispered with a smile, “The Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition doesn’t have high viewership and ratings in the first place. Great, the numbers are going up this time.”
Xia Yan remained silent.
As soon as Jiang Xiao popped his head out, Xia Yan pulled it back before he could even take a clearer look.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Xia Yan pressed his head with one hand, straightened his body, and pressed it against the wall of the tunnel, after which she took off the headband Jiang Xiao was wearing and leaned sideways to point the camera at the tunnel.
Jiang Xiao asked, “What are you doing?”
As curious as a cat, Xia Yan looked at the scenes of two Lava Ghoul Witches mating and said, “You’re still young, such scenes are not suitable for children.
Jiang Xiao asked, “Who are you calling a young child?”
Xia Yan answered, “Who else but you?”
Jiang Xiao exclaimed, “If you still refuse to let go of me, I’m going to heal you!”
Xia Yan covered Jiang Xiao’s face and pressed him against the wall. “Shh, don’t make a single sound.”
Hey, this swindler!
All you do is watch it yourself!
Just as Jiang Xiao was about to flare up, he heard the sounds of the staff coughing coming from the earphones.
Jiang Xiao finally recalled that the miniature camera had a voice recording function as well. His conversation with Xia Yan had been recorded.
The two Lava Ghoul Witches were mating with each other while Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao bickered with each other. If the recording were to go live, the two of them would become narrators…
Jiang Xiao closed his mouth in time while Xia Yan had a look of disgust on her face. She was obviously disgusted with everything that was going on. She turned around and walked back to the corner of the tunnel with the headband in hand. She then stuck her hand out to record the scene in the tunnel.
The two preschoolers looked at each other and competed silently in the quiet tunnel, seemingly trying to defeat each other with their gazes.
In the beginning, the two of them were going toe-to-toe against each other, but as time passed, Jiang Xiao slowly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The air in the silent tunnel was hot and stuffy, and the sounds of their breathing were short and rapid. It was as if they could even hear each other’s heartbeats.
A scorching and ticklish sensation formed in Xia Yan’s hands and she took her palm off Jiang Xiao’s face.
Husky Xia, who should have been ditsy and a little crazy, began to blush and shift her face elsewhere.
Oh no, it’s a myocardial infarction… it’s the feeling of euphoria!
Jiang Xiao almost burst into tears of joy and he thought, You’ve finally treated me like a person!
Xia Yan, you’re an eighteen-year-old adult woman, how could you have feelings for a young kid?
What did Xia Yan’s behavior show?
It showed that she had already seen Jiang Xiao as a man.
Compared to before, Jiang Xiao had indeed grown taller. Although he still had a buzz cut, his actions and mannerisms were much sharper and mature.
Most importantly, Jiang Xiao’s strength and abilities had improved drastically.
The two of them could hear the vague sounds of footsteps which finally made Xia Yan stop feeling as embarrassed.
The team of guardians had arrived.
A few soldiers stood in the positions where Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao were standing at and chased them out. It seemed that the few soldiers were planning to protect the Lava Ghoul Witches.
Jiang Xiao carried the sword and his backpack while moving forward quietly with a smile on his face. He took out a bottle of mineral water from the backpack and handed it to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan grabbed it and removed her anti-dust mask before raising her head to chug it.
“Don’t you ever fall in love with me, I will break your heart,” Jiang Xiao said with a chuckle.
“Gu-du, gu-du… Cough, cough…” Xia Yan was chugging the water when she heard Jiang Xiao’s words, which made her choke and cough uncontrollably. Jiang Xiao hurried forward and slapped her on the back.
“Uh…” After coughing for a long time, Xia Yan wiped her mouth and looked at him in a silly manner. “Me? In love with you?”
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders to express what he meant.
She pushed him away forcefully and yelled, “I’ll be a dog if I fall in love with you!”
Jiang Xiao was stunned, finding the scene to be somewhat familiar.
It seemed that she had said the same thing in the Arsenal.
Suddenly interested, Jiang Xiao teased Husky Xia. “Stop hiding, I know everything.”
Xia Yan was dumbfounded.
Jiang Xiao sighed and said pretentiously, “I understand Little Jiangxue’s character. She’s cold, aloof, and hard to get along with. Being friends with her is huge torture. Why have you been clinging onto her and forcing yourself to be friends with her for so many years?”
Xia Yan opened her mouth and spluttered, “She is, is, is my best friend.”
Jiang Xiao humphed and said, “Enough, I’ve already seen through it. You just wanted to get close to me. Sigh, it’s been hard on you all these years. You had to bear with Han Jiangxue’s aloofness. You must have suffered a lot, eh?”
Xia Yan was dumbfounded.
Jiang Xiao suddenly stuck his sword into the burning soil, pressed his hands on Xia Yan’s shoulders, and said affectionately, “Is it worth it for me?”
Xia Yan’s pupils constricted and she was so infuriated that her hands began to shake. She pushed Jiang Xiao’s shoulders with both hands and hooked his legs with hers, causing him to fall onto the ground.
She then swung the giant sword and smacked him. “Go ahead and be mischievous! Continue being mischievous!”
“Eh? Eh? Stop hitting me!” Jiang Xiao hurriedly got up, holding his head with both hands and squatting in front. “If you continue hitting me, I’m going to complain and retaliate! Fever, cold, runny nose, infertility, frigidity, you name it, I’ll do it.”
“Ah!” Xia Yan barked while quivering continuously in anger. She then smacked him again and yelled, “I’m going all out!”
…
Jiang Xiao had succeeded and Xia Yan’s awkward expression disappeared without a trace. The previous ambiance was restored.
Jiang Xiao’s buttock was a little painful.
However, he didn’t panic at all.
A shot of blessing would get rid of all diseases.
Jiang Xiao had plenty of shots of Blessings to deal with Xia Yan.
The dizzy Xia Yan was feeling extremely comfortable and she finally calmed down.
The two of them continued to head towards the depths of the mountain range. They had traveled a long distance and could no longer see any other contestants.
Their idea was very simple. They decided to climb up the highest mountain and look down at the smaller mountains below.
However, the mountain was further than it seemed to be.
By the time they really reached the highest mountain, they were already dog tired. Along the way, the two of them ran into some small Lava Ghouls as well as some lonely Lava Ghoul Generals.
Jiang Xiao conscientiously noted down the information and looked at his watch. They had been walking for almost 24 hours.
Going on an arduous journey in such a warm environment without the help of any wind series Star Techniques was indeed a test of their willpower and physical fitness.
Fortunately, the incredible Star Technique, Blessing, continuously helped them recover physically and relieve fatigue.
“One has been singled out.” Jiang Xiao wiped his sweat and continued, “We need to replenish our Star Power and physical strength.”
Xia Yan’s chest was heaving up and down, and her gaze was no longer menacing. She seemed to be slightly tired and was no longer in the mood to play.
She said, “Your Blessing can continuously restore our physical states. Although we don’t need to eat or drink, Blessing can’t quench our thirst.”
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, “There’s not much mineral water left, do you want to go back?”
Xia Yan glanced at him and said, “I’m not that spoiled. If we can’t even stand surviving in this place, I believe others can’t too. We’ll definitely be able to collect more information and draw a larger and more detailed map.”
While speaking, Xia Yan charged out with her giant sword.
It was a tall Lava Ghoul General. As the king of the local region, it often traveled alone and was prone to be hunted by hunters.
However, the Lava Ghoul General ran into two terrifying vampires instead of hunters that merely wanted the Star Beads in their skulls.
If one failed to kill others, they would be the one getting killed instead.
However, that did not apply to the toxic healer.
The ray of sacred light descended from the sky, causing the Lava Ghoul General to go into shock and moan peculiarly.
At the next moment, it was beheaded by the giant sword.
Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan surprisingly moved in unison, holding their swords up and stabbing the Lava Ghoul General.
Jiang Xiao would describe such a scene to be striking the iron while it was hot.
“Ah…” Xia Yan sighed deeply. Not only was she stepping on the corpse of the Lava Ghoul General, but there was also the halo of Jiang Xiao’s Gold Quality Nostalgia!
A steady stream of energy moved up the blade and surged into Xia Yan’s body. She should have been exhausted after fighting and treading in such a harsh and warm environment. However, she was in a perfect state because of the toxic healer!
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao silently. The godly support was amazing and simply terrifying.
She knew she should cherish such powerful support. However, compared to a day ago, she was even more emotional and filled with inexplicable feelings.
The scene was also recorded by the camera. The soldiers looked at the two of them before turning to look at Jiang Xiao with gazes that were full of envy and admiration.
There were large red dots on the map which represented the contestants that were loitering in front of the entrance. There were only a few smaller ones that were scattered in other places.
Among the few red dots that were not afraid of hardships and strayed away from the rest, Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan were the ones who traveled the farthest.
The two red dots that represented both of them were bright and dazzling on the large barren map.
“Watch it. They want us to. After all, we’re pleading with them to deduct fewer points from our team,” Jiang Xiao whispered.
Xia Yan pursed her lips and seemed to be rather reluctant. However, she nonetheless let go and put him down.
