In the Soul Refining Realm, in an elegant tea room.
Qu Changfeng held the teacup in his hand and looked at the boy in front of him with curiosity.
Xi Yue's eyes were fixed on the virtual communication interface. She was unaware that the tea on the table had gone cold.
Qu Changfeng couldn't help but ask, "Did you really send a fighting challenge to Ling just now?"
Is this guy crazy? He is a rookie in the Nascent Soul stage who can't even make it into the top 100 in the fighting skills rankings, but he actually wants to challenge Zero, the number one king in the Spirit Refining Domain.
Xi Yue glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, she took out a dozen bottles of sixth-grade Runmai Dan and handed them to him. "This is the reward I promised you. Thank you for giving me the unconditional challenge spot this year."
Qu Changfeng did not take the Runmai Pill, but said calmly and indifferently: "I said that I am willing to be your Shadow Guardian. I, Qu Changfeng, have never taken back the words I have said."
Xi Yue was stunned for a moment, raised her eyebrows and said, "If you become my Shadow Guardian, you will be at my mercy for ten years. And in these ten years, I may not achieve anything, and at most I can refine a sixth or seventh grade elixir? In this way, aren't you at a loss?"
Qu Changfeng's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were full of confidence. "I bet that you will become a medical master and a quasi-ancestor-level alchemist one day in the future. These ten years are just my bet money."
"Besides, you should have noticed that my Dantian has been injured, so I can't take ordinary pills at all. As soon as I take the pills, my meridians will be in pain, and I will feel worse than death. However, many times if I don't take the pills, my realm will only stagnate forever. Only your pills can make me progress. Even if it's just for this reason, I can only follow you all the time."
The purposefulness in the other party's tone made Xi Yue couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her hand and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Then please give me more guidance in the future, my first Shadow Envoy."
Qu Changfeng held Xi Yue's hand, but his expression was stunned.
The young man in front of him had a handsome face and a pair of slender, smooth, and boneless hands that looked like they were carved from mutton-fat jade.
When Qu Changfeng held these hands in his palms, he felt the warmth to his touch, a hundred times warmer than a woman's hands. His usually calm heart couldn't help but beat uncontrollably.
However, this kind of palpitations quickly disappeared when Xi Yue took her hand away.
Qu Changfeng also threw that charming thought behind his mind, looked at Xi Yue meaningfully and said: "I wonder if I am qualified to know your true identity now? I can't introduce myself to others as the Shadow Envoy of 007, right?"
Xi Yue was amused by Qu Changfeng's words. She picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "My name is Xi Yue."
Xi... Yue... Qu Changfeng chewed over these two words and then raised his head and said, "So Xi Yue, where are you in Siam now? I can go to your side and protect you right away."
"No need!" Xi Yue refused. "I'm safe where I am now. You can continue to handle your own affairs. If necessary, I will summon you."
After signing the Shadow Protection Contract, there will be a blood-like induction between the physician and the Shadow Protection Envoy. In fact, even if Xi Yue didn't tell him where she was, Qu Changfeng could still find her if he was determined to look for her.
Qu Changfeng felt a little regretful. He was very interested in his "contractor" and wanted to see him in person. Unfortunately, as a Shadow Envoy, he had to obey the orders of the "contractor". (To be continued)
