"Truth be told, this one has long been a subordinate to you. However, if you wish to become siblings with Miss Jiao Ling, this one will definitely agree to it." Xia Xuan said, his voice was extremely determined.
Jiao Peng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. "Alright."
Afterwards, Jiao Peng and Xia Xuan started to taste the good wine together, enjoying the moonlight, chatting happily one night.
The next day, in the mountain behind the Flood Dragon Manor, Xia Xuan, Jiao Peng, Ge Qing, and Jiao Ling stood in a circle with a patch of grass in the middle of them. Jiao Peng waved his hand and the grass that was blown away by the spiritual energy was lifted off the ground, revealing a piece of floor. Jiao Peng quickly pressed a few times on the floor, and the floor slowly moved, forming a secret path.
"Little brother, can this flamethrower really help raise Ling'er's cultivation?" Jiao Peng asked Xia Xuan.
"I can do it. I will teach my sister a cultivation method called the Dragon's Heart Method. If I absorb the flood dragon's fire energy that the flamethrower has accumulated for so many years, I can at least raise my Xuanhuang to the fifth grade." Xia Xuan nodded and said.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at Xia Xuan. He thought about how he suddenly jumped out last night, only to end up with a brother and sister result, if he saw Xia Xuan again today, even if Xia Xuan was as thick-skinned as a Wall, he would still feel embarrassed, not to mention that Jiao Ling was a young miss of gold.
"That would be great." Jiao Peng and Ge Qing were all smiles. One must know that Jiao Ling was only fifteen years old now, and her fifteen years old Xuanhuang had never appeared even in the entire Great Yan Nation. How could Jiao Peng and Ge Qing not be happy about this?
"It's getting late, so elder sister and I will go down first." Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Jiao Peng and Ge Qing, then pulled Jiao Ling and walked down the secret path.
Without a trace of light, considering Jiao Ling, Xia Xuan did not walk very fast. Jiao Ling walked behind Xia Xuan silently, even in the midst of the darkness, but when he felt the warmth from Xia Xuan's palm, he was not afraid. Instead, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
The secret passage was slightly wet, and the dripping sound of water on the secret passage could be heard. Afraid that Jiao Ling would fall down, Xia Xuan slowed down his pace once again.
"What kind of person do you like?" Jiao Ling was the first to break the silence.
Xia Xuan stared blankly, but there was also nostalgia and sadness in his eyes. He spoke with a slightly somber voice: "She is the most beautiful woman in this world, her every figure, every smile, every sentence, they were all deeply engraved in my mind. In my heart, she is no goddess, she is my wife, she is only an ordinary person who needs my protection. After I fell that time, she did not hesitate to enter the cycle of reincarnation. For her, I am willing to give up everything, including my life. "
Suddenly, a soft body pressed against Xia Xuan's back, startling him. The low, almost inaudible voice of Jiao Ling rang out, "What if you can't find her?"
"Then keep on searching. If she can't be found in this life, in the next, then find her for all eternity." Xia Xuan said with a determined voice.
Jiao Ling slowly took two steps back and rubbed the moist binocular. A smile appeared on his face and he said with a slightly sobbing voice, "Elder sister wishes that you can find her as soon as possible."
Seeing the forced smile on Jiao Ling's face and hearing the sobs in his voice, Xia Xuan's heart ached. If not for the fact that he had her in his heart, he probably would have agreed to the marriage.
Not knowing what to say, Xia Xuan nodded, and continued to walk forward while holding onto Jiao Ling's hand.
After about four hours, Xia Xuan could vaguely see a bit of light. When he turned to look at Jiao Ling, he realized that he was already panting, so he immediately asked: "Do you want to rest?"
Jiao Ling clenched his teeth and firmly looked into the distance. "There's no need. We're almost there."
Suddenly, Xia Xuan carried Jiao Ling, scaring his to the point that he let out an "Ah!".
"What are you holding yourself up for? Is it fun to tire yourself out?" With that, Xia Xuan walked towards the light. Right now, she felt that she was very happy. If she could, she really hoped that she could stop now, but when she thought about how they could only be siblings, she could not help but feel a burst of pain in her heart, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
After a while, Xia Xuan brought Jiao Ling to the end of the tunnel, but when he stepped out, he was stunned. Not only was Xia Xuan stunned, even Jiao Ling was stunned. At the end of the tunnel was a stretch of mines, where there were various ores. In the center of the cave was a lake, and whether it was the lake or the ore, all of them flickered with different colors of light, whether it was the lake or the ore, they were all weirdly shaped ores, different types of light, the tranquil lake water, and the occasional "tick" sound of water dropping into the lake from time to time.
After a long while, Xia Xuan and Jiao Ling said in unison, "So beautiful."
Jumping down from Xia Xuan's back, Yao Long Ling ran around the cave. Just looking at it, it was as though she was a butterfly that had entered a garden. Laughter continued to ring around in the cave.
Looking at the laughing Jiao Ling, Xia Xuan couldn't help but smile. Although it was just a smile, it was a rare sincere smile since he had reincarnated. As a Deicide, he naturally wished for revenge at all times. But as a Xia Xuan, he had indeed entered into a person's heart, and that person's name was Jiao Ling.
Jiao Ling ran towards Xia Xuan holding a shiny ore and shouted, "Xia Xuan, quickly look at this rock. It's so beautiful."
Xia Xuan slowly walked towards Jiao Ling with a gentle smile on his face. He felt that the current Jiao Ling was like a child and couldn't help but want to take care of her.
Suddenly, Jiao Ling tripped over a rock and fell forward. Xia Xuan coincidentally happened to arrive in front of his and was thrown down by Jiao Ling.
Although Jiao Ling was three years older than Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan's height was not lower than his. With this fall, Jiao Ling's entire body fell onto Xia Xuan's, especially when their lips just so happened to touch.
Jiao Ling quickly got up from the ground, his small face as red as an apple. Clutching her face, he walked towards the lake shore and continuously washed her face with the lake water, hoping that he could calm down.
Xia Xuan crawled up from the ground, his expression lifeless. He stared blankly at Jiao Ling who was washing his face with the lake water, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
After she finished washing her face, Jiao Ling stood up and turned to look at Xia Xuan, who was not far away.
Suddenly, a huge flood dragon rushed out from the bottom of the lake, opening its bloody maw and wanting to bite down on the flood dragon's head.
With a flash of blood light, the great dragon bit down on the boulder, causing the boulder to shatter into pieces. When it looked towards the side, its eyes were filled with panic, only to see Xia Xuan wearing a set of blood colored armor, holding onto the dragon's bell, staring at the great dragon with eyes that were surging with anger.
The large dragon could not help but shrink his head and dive into the lake, following that, a black scale lance flew out from the lake. The pike floated in front of Xia Xuan, its spear body continuously trembled, and a wave of special spiritual energy fluctuations spread out, he immediately knew what this fluctuation meant. It seemed like the black scale lance was admitting its wrongs to Xia Xuan, and not only that, it also seemed to be telling Xia Xuan something.
