Chapter 7 (1/2)

After slaying a cultivator that was at the Inner Pellet stage, Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue continued to flee.

They were afraid that another cultivator would come for their lives.

It was his first time using the Crimson Dragon Sword, and he was drained. His eyelids were heavy, and he could fall asleep at any time.

His opponent was an Inner Pellet cultivator after all. He was fully concentrating, making his sword move as quickly as he could. It was a massive mental load for him.

After moving for more than half a mile, he almost fell over. Fortunately, Little Jiang Xue managed to catch him in time.

“Little brother, are you okay? How about I carry you on my back?”

Little Jiang Xue asked with concern. She was heartbroken to see his little body run so haggard.

Zhou Xuanji waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, I can still move.”

Although he looked as though he was two years old, his soul was already mature. How could he let a six-year-old girl carry him?

He noticed that Little Jiang Xue’s legs were quivering. Little Jiang Xue was extremely tired too.

After they continued moving forward for a few hundred meters, he could not hold on any longer. He sat down and rested.

The demonic cultivator was already dead, and Qiu Baili was severely injured. They should be safe for quite a while.

He could only console himself with this thought.

Fortunately, Qiu Baili did not chase after them.

After they had rested for a while and recovered their energy, they continued their journey.

Two months later.

The pair of them finally settled down.

They stood at the shoulder of a mountain. The terrain upward was barely covered by any trees, and there were only rocks and weeds. At the foot of the mountain, there was a small river, meandering like a snake. It followed along the hills and forests, toward the horizon.

Zhou Xuanji took out the wooden hut from the Supreme Storage and said with a smile, “Yes, let’s settle down here!”

Little Jiang Xue jumped with joy and almost fell, but fortunately, he caught her in time.

As they relied on White Crane Sword Will and his Crimson Dragon Sword, the two of them did not meet with any danger. They even managed to hunt at times.

After the ordeal, he was also much more potent in battle than he used to be.

Little Jiang Xue started to tidy up the house. Zhou Xuanji, on the other hand, loitered around, while making sure that Little Jiang Xue was always within his sight.

This mountain was a few hundred meters tall, back-faced by a forest. Looking around from the peak, one would see continuous ranges of mountains of varying heights, but there was no trace of human beings.

Little Jiang Xue was quick in doing the chores. She ran up to the peak after she tidied the hut.

She was all excited. She held his hand and urged, “Little brother, you can teach me sword techniques already, right?”

She blamed herself because Zhou Xuanji was always the one who protected her, so she wanted to learn to use a sword too.

Since they had been traveling, there was no opportunity until now.

He smiled helplessly and then took out a wooden sword from his Supreme Storage. He had picked up a wooden stick when they were on the way. He sharpened the stick and stored it for Little Jiang Xue to use.

The Sword Spirit analyzed Little Jiang Xue’s natural ability in the Way of the Sword, but she was very ordinary. She could not have much of an achievement in the Way of the Sword, even if she trained it all her life.

However, he planned to teach her the White Crane Sword Technique so that she could protect herself.

Based on Little Jiang Xue’s talent, she would need ten years to learn the White Crane Sword Technique.

Zhou Xuanji was not worried since he could protect her.

Although Little Jiang Xue was not very gifted in the Way of the Sword, she was like an adult in terms of living. With her around, he could live a rather satisfactory life.

Whenever he saw Little Jiang Xue take care of him, he could not help but sigh with amazement.

How wonderful is this world!

If it were on Earth, a six-year-old girl walking alone would make her parents worry.

Maybe it was because of spiritual Qi that Little Jiang Xue behaved like a ten-year-old child.

It was still a long time before nightfall. The two ate some food and continued to do sword training.

The training continued for four hours, until dusk set.

Little Jiang Xue remembered seven moves. Although it was not a big improvement, she was very excited.

While there was still some daylight, the two of them went into the forests to pick some dried firewood.
