Chapter 554: Makes It Easy For Someone to Covet Her (2)

Finally, the wounds healed completely.

Yu Huang took a few deep breaths before taking out a clean and loose T-shirt to wear. She leaned against the city wall and looked up at the two stars in the sky that were always together. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Only after experiencing heart-wrenching pain would one know how blissful it was to be healthy and painless.

After resting for a moment, Yu Huang propped herself up on the city wall.

The last city was 30 kilometers away.

This was a plain. Yu Huang looked into the distance and could see the bonfire in the distance and the faintly discernible city wall behind the bonfire.

She was really tired, so she took out the off-road vehicle that she hadn’t driven in a long time.

Yu Huang drove the off-road vehicle towards the distant city wall.

Boom!

Hearing the sound of a car engine running, Sheng Xiao looked up and saw an off-road vehicle.

He immediately recognized that the car belonged to Yu Huang.

“Wine!”

Sheng Xiao quickly stood up and walked to the outermost part of the crowd. He stood there quietly while waiting for the car to stop.

The car stopped in front of him. Yu Huang kicked open the door and jumped out. When she saw Sheng Xiao, she tiptoed and hugged his neck.

Sheng Xiao could smell the strong smell of blood on her. He pushed Yu Huang away and found that her black pants were dark. They looked dry after being soaked in blood.

“Are you injured?” Sheng Xiao lifted Yu Huang’s T-shirt and glanced at her abdomen. His heart ached when he saw the dense pink scars on her abdomen.

“Why are you injured so badly?”

Yu Huang was unwilling to reveal her weak side, so she shook her head and said, “I met a very powerful city guard and was injured by his weapon. However, the hemostatic medicine you gave me was very effective. I’m fine now.”

Sheng Xiao had used hemostatic medicine before. He knew very well how painful it was when it worked.

Sheng Xiao’s heart ached even more when he thought about how Yu Huang was hiding alone and licking her wounds without anyone helping her apply medicine.

He pressed Yu Huang into his arms and said in a low voice, “Rest for a while. We’ll fight again at dawn.”

“Okay.”

Sheng Xiao led Yu Huang to the bonfire. He straightened his legs and let Yu Huang rest her head between his legs.

Yu Huang laid on Sheng Xiao’s lap and stared at his face. She finally felt at ease.

“Oh, right. Have you seen Her Highness?” Yu Huang hadn’t met Beatrice along the way. She didn’t know if Beatrice had successfully pa.s.sed the test.

Sheng Xiao said, “I saw it. In the evening, she challenged the guardian of the last city but failed.” After a pause, Sheng Xiao continued, “However, the prince pa.s.sed all the cities and entered the Central PaG.o.da an hour ago.”

Yu Huang sighed when she heard this. “Even Her Highness failed?”

“It’s not easy to break in.” Sheng Xiao stared at the Grand Master guards on the city wall. He said, “Those Grand Masters are all late-stage Grand Masters. I’ve been resting here for half a day and I’ve seen more than thirty Grand Masters being eliminated.”

“Is it that cruel?”

“Yes,” Sheng Xiao said. “I got some useful information from the other partic.i.p.ants. It’s said that there are only 1,500 Grand Masters who can successfully pa.s.s through a hundred cities and reach the Central PaG.o.da every year.”

Sheng Xiao played with Yu Huang’s slender but calloused fingers. He said, “It’s very difficult for me to break into the Grand Master Ten Thousand Ranking List.”

Yu Huang sensed that Sheng Xiao was feeling down. She opened her eyes and looked at Sheng Xiao’s handsome face. “Are you feeling inferior?”

“It’s not that I feel inferior,” Sheng Xiao said frankly. “I’ve always known that there’s always someone better than me. But, knowing it is one thing and seeing it with my own eyes is another. These days, I’ve met too many peerless geniuses. Only then did I realize that compared to them, I’m really… not worth mentioning.”

Yu Huang was worried that Sheng Xiao would feel inferior after being dealt a blow. She was organizing her words to comfort him when she heard Sheng Xiao change the topic. He said, “I can’t wait to go to the Great World. I can only move forward when I’m in a Great World that doesn’t lack geniuses. I’ve had enough of being alone.”

Yu Huang was speechless.

She had worried for nothing.

Sheng Xiao lowered his head and kissed Yu Huang’s eyes. His breath landed on Yu Huang’s face. Yu Huang resisted the urge to scratch him. She heard Sheng Xiao say, “Let’s go to the Great World together when we have the chance, okay?”

“Okay.”

Yu Huang stared at Sheng Xiao’s handsome face. She raised her head and wanted to kiss him.

Sheng Xiao could tell what Yu Huang was thinking. He lowered his head.

Just as the two of them were about to kiss, a male voice suddenly entered. “Are the two of you showing off your love at every opportunity? I came to partic.i.p.ate in the world compet.i.tion, but even then I can still see the two of you being lovey-dovey. Can’t you take into account the existence of a bachelor like me?”

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao froze.

Sheng Xiao pressed Yu Huang into his arms so that no one could see her pa.s.sionate side.

He looked up expressionlessly and stared at the slightly tired Donor. He rolled his eyes and said, “Can you shut up?”

Donor squatted beside Sheng Xiao and glanced at Yu Huang.

Seeing Yu Huang’s face hidden in Sheng Xiao’s arms, he felt bored. “Tsk.” Donor pursed his lips and complained, “Do you treasure her that much? You can’t even bear to let me see her?”

Sheng Xiao said, “My treasure is too precious. She’ll attract attention.” If he didn’t hide her well, Donor might get shady intentions.

Sheng Xiao knew how much Donor liked beautiful girls.

Donor didn’t seem to know what Sheng Xiao was hinting at. He patted Sheng Xiao’s shoulder with his wings and approached him. “Let’s make a bet. Let’s see who will be on the list.”

Sheng Xiao sneered. “Why would a Supreme Master like you bet with me? Our realms are different and the rankings are different. There’s no point in betting.”

Donor was speechless.

Sheng Xiao was insulting him with his cultivation level!

“Then let’s bet on who will be the first to be expelled from the Doomsday Battlefield!”

Sheng Xiao agreed without hesitation. “Okay.”
