Chapter 274 (2/2)

”Is this for me?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

The bucktooth tiger started speaking in the human language, ”Yes. You are a friend of the Demon Emperor clan. If that is the case, you are the friend of my clan as well.”

”Thank you,” Xiang Shaoyun thanked gratefully.

It was quite lucky of him to receive the care of a demonic tiger in his current condition. As for Liang Zhuangmin, he heaved a breath of relief while his curiosity toward Xiang Shaoyun grew.

Xiang Shaoyun had successfully led their raid on the ancestral temple of the cannibals and robbed them of the earthstone heart. He could also fly, and now, he could even build a friendly relations.h.i.+p with a demonic tiger. All those were feats ordinary people wouldn't be able to accomplish.

And Xiang Shaoyun had accomplished them all. Everything was so very inconceivable. Liang Zhuangmin also finally understood why the pavilion had given Xiang Shaoyun the first-cla.s.s estate, and he realized that this wasn't a person only relying on his connections—Xiang Shaoyun was also sufficiently capable.

Since Xiang Shaoyun wasn't able to immediately start preparing the antelope for consumption, he had the bucktooth tiger stand guard as he and Liang Zhuangmin continued recovering. The bucktooth tiger did not reject the request and lay down not far from the two. With this new guard, both Xiang Shaoyun and Liang Zhuangmin were much more at ease.

They put all their focus on recovery, and after one day, they had recovered considerably. Although they had not returned to their peak condition, they were now strong enough to protect themselves.

The first thing Xiang Shaoyun did after waking up from his meditation was to roast the five-colored antelope. Soon, an aromatic fragrance started drifting about in the air. Both him and Liang Zhuangmin were starving. They each tore an antelope leg off and started gorging themselves.

Xiang Shaoyun did not forget the bucktooth tiger and tossed over half the roasted five-colored antelope. The bucktooth tiger did not hesitate. After taking a bite off the meat and tasting how delicious it was, he started gorging on the meat and finished half the antelope in no time.

As Xiang Shaoyun ate, he could sense his vitality being replenished. He circulated his cultivation method and sent the energy rus.h.i.+ng in toward his injuries, further nouris.h.i.+ng them and helping them recover faster.

The five-colored antelope was indeed an excellent food for the purpose of recovery. When Xiang Shaoyun and Liang Zhuangmin were finally done resting, they stood up.

Liang Zhuangmin looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, ”Brother Xiang, we survived because of you. The earthstone heart shall go to you.”

As he said that, he handed the earthstone heart to Xiang Shaoyun with no hesitation. It was clear he was a person of outstanding character.

Looking at the earthstone heart, Xiang Shaoyun shook his head. ”This earthstone heart is more important to you. Keep it for yourself.”

”No. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get this earthstone heart at all. I can't keep it,” said Liang Zhuangmin stubbornly.

Xiang Shaoyun replied seriously, ”I don't cultivate the power of earth. You know that as well, right? So I don't really care that much for this earthstone heart. If you feel guilty keeping it, just help me get a soul spring as a way of repaying me then.”

Liang Zhuangmin was overjoyed to hear those words. He replied, ”Fine, I will help you get a soul spring with all my power!”
