C10

The moon was bright and full of stars.

Du Lei sat quietly in the shadow of the tree and focused on his cultivation.

Suddenly, the tree branches swayed. When Du Lei opened his eyes, he saw a cold figure floating out from the depths of the forest, landing in front of him.

In the moonlight, Ruoxi's peerlessly beautiful face overshadowed the stars in the sky. A head sized ice crystal was lightly held in her hand as she indifferently looked at Du Lei.

In the depths of the blue ice crystal, there was a hint of golden red surging about. It flickered between bright and dark, as if it was beating like a heart.

Du Lei's eyes narrowed. Even if he had never seen this thing before, he could guess that this was most likely the Burning Flame Wolf King's beast core. He was shocked in his heart and immediately coughed dryly, saying: "I didn't expect you to be so trustworthy."

Actually, the thing that shocked Du Lei the most was that after Xiao Ruoxi had snuck into the depths of the Wanxiang Forest, killed the Wolf King, and then returned, she only shared the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Furthermore, Xiao Ruoxi's expression was clear and elegant; she was as calm as a virgin.

He didn't expect that a teasing joke at noon would become a reality so easily.

Under Xiao Ruoxi's oceanic and ethereal true energy, Du Lei was merely a tiny speck of the Navy Tide, a mere speck of firefly under the bright moon.

Xiao Ruoxi did not pay attention to Du Lei's words. She only lightly raised her lily-white hand, and passed the Wolf King Beast Core into Du Lei's hands.

Du Lei caught it and his hands couldn't help but sink. He looked at the ice-cold crystal in his hands with a face full of astonishment. This beast core looked light as a feather in Xiao Ruoxi's hands, but in reality, this beast core was 500 jin in weight. If it were a mortal, they wouldn't even have the strength to lift it.

This was the embodiment of the Wolf King's extremely concentrated energy. If the Wolf King's beast core was released from its seal, the temperature of the air would probably rise to the point of boiling.

A light moved in Ruoxi's eyes and her eyelashes trembled. Her delicate and beautiful face was as beautiful as a painting. "From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. Also, promise me one more condition."

"You will rot it in your stomach for what happened last night, just treat it as if it never happened. You are not allowed to reveal it in the slightest!"

Hearing Xiao Ruoxi's imperial cold words, Du Lei's mood instantly sank. The excitement he felt from obtaining the Wolf King Beast Core vanished without a trace. A restless and hot-blooded feeling slowly spread throughout his heart.

He had already expected Xiao Ruoxi's cold attitude, but when this beautiful woman spoke these cold words, Du Lei's mood was like a surging flood, almost exploding.

Even when faced with Liu Fengyun's blatant insults and shouts yesterday, Du Lei was still able to fight with passion and passion. However, when faced with this woman's words that were as calm as the wind, his mood inexplicably sank.

Suppressing his emotions, Du Lei slowly exhaled and said, "I know that I'm not strong, but I'm not despicable enough to use the short two days we've been together to raise my status."

"It's not that you aren't strong, it's that you're too weak."

His words were calm, and did not contain any emotion. He was only stating a fact: "Since you know your own limits, there is no need to say much. Just agree to it, and no need to waste any more of my time."

Du Lei was indeed not strong, but he had killed Liu Fengyun with his own strength yesterday. In the eyes of Xiao Ruoxi, he was pitifully weak. The pride that Duré had painstakingly picked up had been trampled on by the woman in front of him like that, reduced to nothing. In that case, was there any difference between him and the servant he had a month ago?

Being mocked by others for his strength was the greatest insult to living on the Sobbing God Continent!

Letting out a breath, Du Lei said coldly, "What if I don't agree?"

The surrounding temperature dropped drastically, causing Du Lei to fall into the ice cellar. "A cultivator's temperament is very mature, if you say such childish words, I am truly disappointed, if you were to spread the news of yesterday's matter to the Imperial City's Xiao Clan, not to mention you, even the entire Martial Extreme Martial School would be annihilated!"

"If you know your limits, why do you have to do such a foolish thing? Most of the time, no matter how much determination and perseverance you had, it was impossible for you to achieve what you couldn't. To be able to measure one's strength is one of the most basic principles of living within the continent. "

An imperial city, ten imperial cities, and a hundred empires. Just within this empire, countless experts had emerged over the course of tens of thousands of years. As for the people within the imperial city, they were extremely powerful and could not be compared to mere empires.

So it turned out that Xiao Ruoxi was a member of the Imperial City. With a single sentence, the Martial Extreme Martial School would truly be annihilated!

With the strength of the fourth level of the Pulse Tempering stage in the Duren Territory, how could he possibly interfere in the slightest?

If this chance encounter were to spread into the ears of those people in the imperial city, their entire clan would be exterminated. A phoenix that soared through the nine heavens like Xiao Ruoxi, a phoenix that was untouchable, the mortals would meet it once, and it would be impossible to recover from it. It was just like Du Lei, who was once a servant a month ago; however, he would still need to lower his head to express his gratitude when Xia Mengyan casually toyed with him.

The former and the latter were surprisingly similar. It was just that ordinary people could not even see the former's shadow. After thinking about it, Du Lei's heart became unusually heavy. This world is so cruel that it makes one's heart race.

But... Duré was unwilling.

Du Lei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I can promise you that, but if I stand before you again in the future with my status as an expert, will you feel that it's absurd and laughable when you say you know yourself?"

"You and I have always been people from two different worlds. My attitude has never changed, not now, not in the future. I'm not belittling you, I'm just telling you the truth. "If you are able to emerge from the battles of the other dynasties in the future, you can talk to me about this expert."

"A great battle between empires?" Du Lei felt a chill in his heart.

Xiao Ruoxi's expression was already filled with impatience and boredom: "Don't ask if you don't know anything. Moreover, I don't think a person like you, who was arrogant and conceited just because you got lucky, would do anything. It's enough for you to stay safe and not cause trouble for the rest of your life. " With that, Xiao Ruoxi gracefully turned around and left.

Good... What a good idea, don't try to stir up trouble!

Duré's mood was like a dam collapsing and his emotions were collapsing!

He took a step forward, and stared straight at Xiao Ruoxi's beautiful figure, pointing with one hand, he angrily roared: "Stop right there! You want me to live in peace? Good, then I must live a wonderful life! Do you remember what happened yesterday? Or do you find it hard to say? Then I, Du Lei, will tell you the answer. One day, I will make you understand that having your first kiss stolen by me is an honor that you, Xiao Ruoxi, will never be able to seek in your entire life! "

Xiao Ruoxi's footsteps abruptly stopped. As she turned around, what kind of brilliant expression appeared on her absolutely beautiful face. With a flick of her finger, it was as if a cold light had suddenly shot over and pierced through Du Lei's left shoulder.

Du Lei's entire left shoulder was sealed in ice. Ice energy spread, gradually freezing his arm and chest. However, Du Lei didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he loudly laughed.

"I have already shown you all sorts of forbearance, and seeing that you saved me, this is the last time that I will be presumptuous. If you bring it up again, I will definitely kill you."

As she spoke, she retracted her right hand that was covered in creamy skin, and slowly turned her head. In the shadows, an extremely faint ripple appeared in Xiao Ruoxi's eyes, and then disappeared in a flash: "Stop talking nonsense, you might live a little longer on this continent."

With that, he circulated his Zhen Qi and disappeared into the distance like an immortal.

Watching as Xiao Ruoxi left, the soul that had been hiding in Du Lei's sea of consciousness was finally activated. The dark lightning climbed up his left shoulder and crazily refined the coldness within, turning into wisps of warmth that nourished his entire body. Only then did the pain in Du Lei's body lessen by quite a bit. However, his heart was cold to the bone, and he couldn't get warm at all.

Du Lei kicked away the frozen Wolf King Beast Core and said lightly, "I don't want something that this woman has bestowed upon me!"

However, at this time, Elder Gui's figure flew out from Du Lei's sea of consciousness, stroked his beard, and laughed, "Brat, don't be so impulsive, just open your eyes a little. This Burning Flame Wolf King's beast core is a great treasure to the current you, if you don't want it, you won't have this opportunity in the future."

Du Lei snorted coldly, staring at the ghost head and said, "Hehe, didn't you see that woman's overbearing look just now? I don't want her stuff, it's too dirty. "

Previously, when Xiao Ruoxi said that Du Lei had taken advantage of her by a fluke, it was undoubtedly a double entendre. Since she was talking about the beast core, the ambiguous matter from yesterday night was definitely included in her story.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why are you acting so impulsively, how can you surpass her in the future?" The ghost head said with a smile that was not a smile, "This woman is indeed a rare beauty, if she continues to develop, it will definitely bring disaster upon my beauty … He must be a peerless genius of his generation. Didn't you say something bad about him? Let her, this proud daughter of heaven, feel honored for you? Hmph hmph, if you don't even absorb this beast core and your strength stagnates, the gap between you and her will only get bigger and bigger, and your dignity will drop lower and lower, what honor do you have? "

Endure, is also a type of ability. You have to make use of what she gave you to speed up your progress, this kind of soul is extremely strange and mysterious. Even I haven't fully understood it, the more I can't see through it, the more potential it has.

The ghost head continued to analyze the situation, "Besides, you saved her twice. It is understandable that she would return the favor by giving you the beast cores. If you're serious, think about the reasoning behind it. "

Hearing Elder Ghost's words, Duré fell silent.

In reality, he understood this logic as well. It was just that his heart felt depressed and he was unable to change his mood at the moment.

After calming down for three minutes, Du Lei stood up, walked up to the beast core, and stored it in his storage ring.

"That's right." Elder Ghost, who had been quietly watching on the side, nodded, "You have to be careful when absorbing this beast core. You have to know that everyone is concerned about this. Before completely absorbing the energy, you have to be careful. Now, leave."

Du Lei responded with a deep voice. He looked around, but didn't see anyone. He quietly ran toward the outskirts of the Wanxiang Forest.

Without the Flame Wolf King, the movements of the core disciples of the Martial Extreme Martial School also disappeared. The next day, they also hunted some low-level demon beasts.

Among the inner disciples, Xia Mengyan's expression was the most unsightly. Her face was as cold as ice. It was unknown what she was thinking as her almond-shaped eyes turned.

Du Lei hid the wound on his left shoulder and blended into the crowd. No one noticed that the Burning Fire Wolf King core that everyone was desperately looking for was on his insignificant outer disciple.

After returning to the Martial Extreme Martial School, the first thing Du Lei did was to return to his thatched cottage and absorb the Burning Flame Wolf King's power for cultivation. However, he didn't expect that he would run into Liu Hao and Wang Yuxuan while passing by the back garden. Originally, the two had planned to welcome Liu Fengyun, but they didn't expect that Du Lei would appear in front of them safe and sound.

Liu Hao felt his legs go weak. He looked at Du Lei nervously, and stuttered: "My brother … What about Liu Fengyun? "

"You're asking yourself that, aren't you?" Du Lei let out a faint smile as he thought about the matter of the beast core. He couldn't be bothered with them as he walked past them.

Hearing that, Liu Hao lost his balance and fell onto the ground. Beside him, Wang Yuxuan supported Liu Hao and said anxiously: "Liu Hao, didn't you say your brother would be able to solve the problem? "What's wrong now, could your brother be …"

"Bad, bad!" Liu Hao's face was already covered in cold sweat, he stammered: "If something really happens to him, how am I going to account to his father in court?!"
