C96 (2/2)
Huff, puff
As the golden wings flapped, it turned into a ray of golden light and flew out of the valley.
He landed on the cliff and looked around. There were no signs of the white ape or the little mouse, but he saw a huge boulder not far away with some words carved into it.
It wrote: Brother Qiao Nan, it's not that I, Old Ape, was terrified, it's just that the little girl's skin is not to be trifled with. The little mouse and I went out to seek refuge. I, Old Ape, am truly not afraid of that girl's skin, but I disdain hitting women.
”So it's because they ran away.” Qiao Nan touched his chin, and a smile appeared on his lips. If no one else knew how much the dignified Overlord of Mount Jiu was afraid of a woman, he would definitely laugh at her.
However, the little chicken in his embrace could not laugh anymore. It opened its mouth and closed it. It was so angry that it trembled all over.
The hatred in his heart made the roots of his teeth itch. If it wasn't for him being a demi-human and showing mercy, he wouldn't have been so ruthless.
If he had known earlier, he would have killed it on the day of its death. How could he have met with today's calamity?
”We should get going.” Qiao Nan folded the wings on his back, and started to head towards the Northern Wasteland with the little chicken in his arms.
From time to time, his hand would stroke her little head and pinch her little claws, making her blush, but there was nothing she could do.
She was forced to lie in Qiao Nan's embrace. She glanced at the waterfall in front of her;
Her brows were tightly knitted, not because the heavenly paradise was destroyed, but because she could no longer feel the surging energy.
Previously, there was a green lotus that stood proudly in the world, suppressing all of its power. Now that the surge of energy had disappeared, didn't that mean that the green lotus was gone?
She already knew that this azure lotus wasn't simple. Even with her cultivation, it was difficult for her to injure it in the slightest. She had already cultivated it into a divine object of heaven and earth, so she had most likely fled.
This caused her to feel a burst of regret.
Qiao Nan walked to a small town at the bottom of the mountain, bought a handsome horse and started to travel day and night towards the Northern Wasteland.
The day of the four wastelands' battle was drawing closer and closer. If he did not hurry back, he might miss this grand gathering.
Right now, the four wastelands were bustling with noise and excitement. Aside from the undetermined candidates from the Northern Wastelands, the other three wastelands had long announced their selection. Without exception, all of them were Human Sect geniuses.
On a mountain peak in the Northern Wasteland, an old man stood there as usual, waiting for a young man to appear.
”Letter from the Eastern Desolation. I must submit the name list, otherwise the quota for the four wastelands battle will be cancelled. The elders have decided to let Yan Bingqing fight in place of Qiao Nan.”
A hempen-clothed middle-aged man slowly walked over from behind him. He strode forward in large strides, faintly revealing the might of heaven and earth as he walked over.
This person was the most powerful person in the Northern Wasteland, the vice principal of the Northern Wasteland — Gao Yuntian.
The Northern Wasteland had long planned to revoke Qiao Nan's qualification to fight, and replace it with the even stronger Yan Bingqing. If it wasn't for the Fifth Elder supporting Qiao Nan, and even inviting Old Bei to persuade the Vice Principal to come forward to fight, they would have long been disqualified.
”Don't we still have three days? ”Wait and see.”
Li Mingtian clasped his hands behind his back and stared somewhat viciously down the mountain.
The promised days with Qiao Nan were long gone. He did not know if Qiao Nan still existed in this world, but he wanted to wait a bit. For some reason, he felt that this young man would bring about a miracle.
”Tomorrow is the last day, Eastern Desolation urgently needs this list. Qian Xiaosheng has repeatedly sent people to pressure him, he must explain this matter.”
After the Vice Principal said his piece, he left, leaving Li Mingtian alone. He understood the meaning behind his words, if he could not return tomorrow, he could only sacrifice Qiao Nan for the sake of the Four Desolations Intent.
