Every time Xiaotian saw Ji Mingyu covered in bruises, he would whimper and lick his wounds, and even shed tears of heartache like Xi Yue who was watching from the sidelines.
But the young Ji Mingyu didn't care at all, as if the person who was hurt was not him at all.
Time flies by like a white horse. This is just a description, but for Xi Yue who was watching the illusion, it was very vivid.
This quick glance continued until one day when it finally slowed down.
That was Xiaotian suddenly coming back with a Shadow Summoning Stone in his mouth.
Xiaotian and the young Ji Mingyu had never seen the Shadow Summoning Stone before. After fiddling with it for a long time, they inadvertently injected their spiritual consciousness and spiritual power into it, and the Shadow Summoning Stone immediately played clear images.
It was a prosperous and bustling town with beautiful buildings, people coming and going, monks competing with each other, laughter, and scolding.
There is a strong breath of vitality.
For the first time, the handsome yet immature face of the young Ji Mingyu showed a look of longing and yearning, and he said softly: "Xiaotian, what do you think the world outside is like?"
Xiaotian stuck out his tongue and licked him, making a purring sound.
The boy said in a lighter voice: "I want to go out and take a look..."
He raised his head and looked towards the distant forest border. "Master asked me to break through to the God level within a hundred years. If I can meet Master's requirements sooner, he will let me leave this forest, right?"
This forest is as cold and lonely as a grave.
Xiaotian raised his head, looked at the boy with wet eyes, and made a humming sound, as if to say, I will accompany you wherever you go.
Xi Yue saw a smile on the young man's handsome and cold face again. Although it was a faint smile, it was full of hope and touching.
However, happy times are always short-lived.
A few days later, the young man Ji Mingyu was practicing sword under the waterfall. Suddenly, Xiaotian's screams were heard in the distance.
Ji Mingyu's face changed drastically and he quickly ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
He flew for a long time until he reached the edge of the forest, where the barrier was located, and only then did he see Xiaotian lying on the ground covered in blood.
And the man with the golden mask standing aside and looking at him coldly.
Xi Yue's breathing stagnated. What was supposed to come finally came.
"Master!" The young man Ji Mingyu knelt down in front of Ji Chengfeng, but all his attention was on Xiaotian.
Xiaotian saw him, crawled over with difficulty, and licked his hand with his tongue.
Ji Chengfeng looked down at the kneeling boy and said coldly, "Kill this beast."
"Master!" Ji Mingyu exclaimed, his eyes full of fear and resistance, "Why?"
Ji Chengfeng's voice was indescribably cruel and ruthless, "It tried to open the barrier and let you leave here. Since it disobeyed my order, it deserves to die!"
The boy's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at Xiaotian, who rubbed him affectionately.
“Master!” Ji Mingyu looked at Ji Chengfeng, his eyes becoming extremely firm, “Xiaotian tried to open the barrier for my sake. This is all my fault. If you want to punish me, please punish me!”
Ji Chengfeng sneered: "You want to leave here and meet people?"
The young man Ji Mingyu lowered his head and said nothing.
Ji Chengfeng's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp and cold, "Ji Mingyu, have you forgotten? I said that your horoscope shows the fate of a lonely star, and you are destined to be alone in this life. Any living being that gets close to you will be affected by your horoscope. Either they will be killed by you, or you will be affected by them, and your immortal path will be dim from then on." (To be continued)
