"They really do care about you." Liu Erlong and Xiao Ze sat in the carriage, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Of course, they are all my people, so naturally they care about me." Xiao Ze was quite bold now.
"Heh… what a scumbag." Liu Erlong said disdainfully.
"But I will be responsible for every one of them, unlike your good fiancé." Xiao Ze said lightly.
"Shut up! Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, is not my fiancé!" Liu Erlong said angrily.
If she hadn't been afraid of Yu Yuanzhen coming to cause trouble, she would have killed Yu Xiaogang long ago.
"Hard to say, your taste in men isn't great. Maybe in the future, it'll be another Yu Xiaogang." Xiao Ze said.
Liu Erlong fell silent. This time, it seemed genuinely good.
He's a high-grade Yu Xiaogang. You are much more powerful than Yu Xiaogang.
"Oh, right, this time I'm not just here to accompany you to get a spirit ring."
"What else do you need to do?" Liu Erlong asked.
"Look for treasure." Xiao Ze didn't hide it; a mere Liu Erlong was no match for him.
"Treasure?!" Liu Erlong immediately became interested.
"That's right." Xiao Ze explained the specifics.
"Tsk… you were really bold as a kid, daring to go into a cave alone, and you even found something. There's no justice!" Liu Erlong suddenly felt truly unlucky. After all these years, not only had she not found any Spirit Bone, but she hadn't even found any treasures or resources.
"My luck has always been very good."
"Once I've acquired my spirit ring, I'll accompany you to look for the treasure." Liu Erlong said.
She was also very interested in this treasure; after all, her first treasure hunt in life would be quite interesting.
"No problem."
The two of them soon arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Where should we look for Spirit Beasts?" Xiao Ze asked.
"The Star Dou Great Forest is huge. We need to go to a lava lake in the mixed zone. The Spirit Beasts there are all fire-attributed, and there are even Spirit Beasts with dragon bloodlines." Liu Erlong said.
The Star Dou Great Forest is vast, containing all sorts of Spirit Beasts and, naturally, many different terrains.
Not to mention lava lakes, there are even small patches of dark forest. Otherwise, Spirit Beasts like the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger and Man Faced Demon Spider wouldn't exist.
"That certainly suits you very well." Xiao Ze nodded.
Liu Erlong's Spirit is a Fire Dragon, so the most suitable spirit rings for her would naturally be dragon-type and fire-attributed spirit rings.
"That's for sure. I've already made all the preparations, even the poison is ready." As she spoke, Liu Erlong took out a porcelain bottle, which was quite large.
"Is that reliable?" Xiao Ze asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, even if it doesn't work, we can still escape." Liu Erlong valued her life very much. She had finally managed to live clearly, so she couldn't die.
Not to mention Xiao Ze was still by her side.
She brought him out; if anything happened, she would truly lose face.
"That's for the best." Xiao Ze and Liu Erlong slowly advanced into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Liu Erlong released her spirit power pressure of level 80. Spirit Beasts below ten thousand years, or even those just entering the ten thousand-year level, dared not approach.
As Xiao Ze walked, his consciousness entered his sea of consciousness.
"God of Agriculture, Xiyao, you two keep a good look around. If you find the location of the treasure, let me know." Xiao Ze reminded them.
"Don't worry, just be careful yourself. Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts might appear in the mixed zone. There are quite a few ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest." God of Agriculture said.
"Naturally."
Although the destination was very clear, the Star Dou Great Forest was indeed too large.
The two walked until nightfall but still hadn't reached the mixed zone.
"Will we be okay camping here?" Xiao Ze felt that since it wasn't far from the mixed zone, very powerful Spirit Beasts might appear.
"Don't worry, if those Spirit Beasts dare to come, I'll let them taste my Fire Fist." Liu Erlong quickly set up the tent.
"Just one?" Xiao Ze asked.
"What else? Didn't you bring one out?" Liu Erlong retorted.
Xiao Ze was a bit embarrassed. He had been at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for so long, basically sleeping in the open. Afterwards, he had been at home, so he had completely forgotten about the tent.
"Judging by your look, you didn't bring one. Come in, the two of us will make do." Liu Erlong waved her hand.
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Tsk… you wouldn't think a little guy like you could do anything to me, would you?" Liu Erlong looked disdainful.
"I'm afraid you'll make a move on me. I'm so handsome and talented."
Liu Erlong's mouth twitched: "How shameless. If you don't want to come in, then don't."
Xiao Ze still went in quickly.
Liu Erlong's tent was a new, very ordinary one.
After all, how many years had it been since she had been out?
"I'm going to sleep."
With that, Liu Erlong lay down, sleeping on her side, her fiery red long hair spread messily on the pillow.
Xiao Ze shrugged. He didn't plan to sleep yet.
He returned to his sea of consciousness, continuing to work with Sui Hua and the others.
They had already accumulated quite a lot of resources during this time.
He could give some to Qingxi Village later. Perhaps in the future, Qingxi Village might produce more Spirit Masters, which would be quite good.
Exiting his sea of consciousness, Xiao Ze looked at Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong's brows were slightly furrowed at this moment, clearly not sleeping peacefully.
"Xiao Ze… you… bastard…"
Xiao Ze was bewildered. Why was she cursing him?
He hadn't bullied her, honestly.
However, it seemed that Yu Xiaogang's matter really had a significant impact on Liu Erlong.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
Her fiancé from back then, who had also run away from the marriage. So many years of longing instantly crumbled. It was a good thing Liu Erlong didn't just go crazy.
She was also a devoted person, but she had loved the wrong person.
The night deepened. Xiao Ze lay on his back, his breathing gradually steadying.
Liu Erlong unconsciously turned over in her sleep.
Her fiery red long hair spread out, a few strands brushing against Xiao Ze's neck, carrying a faint fragrance.
In her sleep, her arm slowly wrapped around his chest, her fingertips unconsciously clutching his lapel.
"Mm…" She let out a muddled murmur, her head lowered slightly, her breath brushing against Xiao Ze's collarbone.
Liu Erlong's grip tightened, almost completely encircling him in her embrace.
"…Don't leave anymore…"
The next day, early morning.
Xiao Ze slowly woke up, feeling the burning sensation on his face, and even seeing a pair of large, snowy white mounds before his eyes, he was stunned.
"Hey… wake up." Xiao Ze tried to struggle out of Liu Erlong's embrace.
Liu Erlong frowned, "So noisy first thing in the morning."
Suddenly, she felt as if her hands were holding something. She lowered her head slightly and saw Xiao Ze's resentful gaze.
She immediately let go.
"Why were you in my arms? You've gone too far, taking advantage of me while I was sleeping and groping me?!"
Xiao Ze slightly opened his mouth: "Playing the victim first?"
