I would rather betray the world than betray you.
What a heart-stirring love! If it were another girl, she would surely be overjoyed, but Shen Xihe cast an incomprehensible look at Xiao Huayong.
Is there really a person who can treat another non-blood-related person to such an extent
Do you really like it that much
How can I like it so much
This was an incredible thing for Shen Xihe.
Her eyes were as confused and bewildered as a deer's, but Xiao Huayong was not angry at all. Instead, the corners of his lips relaxed: "One day, I will make you understand how willing you are to do this, how you are stuck in this mess, and how you have no regrets."
After Shen Xihe heard this, a smile appeared on her lips. She was not mocking, but her tone revealed a sense of absurdity.
Xiao Huayong was not discouraged. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the steep cliffs, the winding paths and the dense forests, the entangled mist rolling in, the mountains and rivers, and the thousands of vines. A strong desire to conquer arose spontaneously.
The cries of the Saker Falcon and the hissing of the giant snake intertwined, coming intermittently through the peaks and mountain mists.
Ah Xi and Mo Yu started to pack their things. Even though they were going to stay here, they couldn't just throw them away. Shen Xihe was still a little tired. She sat there silently. The sunlight was shining through the branches and leaves. She couldn't help but close her eyes and look up to enjoy it.
It was peaceful and undisturbed here, but the fighting below was extremely brutal.
Emperor Youning adopted Xiao Changgeng's suggestion and poisoned the giant snake. However, the poisoned chickens, ducks and sheep thrown down were all knocked away by the giant snake. It did not bite or swallow them at all, but knocked them away directly. It was poisoned by Xiao Huayong, and because it only took a small amount, it became extremely irritable.
It crawled out from the deep pool, rushing around without any plan, biting any living thing it saw, and even crashing into the wall when it felt extremely uncomfortable. The Saker Falcon kept resting on the cliffs of the mountain with its wings folded, staring at everything happening below.
Emperor Youning made sufficient preparations to kill the snake. He dispatched the Divine Crossbow Battalion last night and ambushed them among the trees. This crossbow is extremely powerful, with a range of hundreds of steps. The powerful crossbow flew straight out and penetrated the giant snake's stiff skin, like a nail piercing into its body.
Even so, it still refused to fall down easily. Even with dozens of crossbow arrows piercing its body, it still twisted and roared.
When the crossbowmen attacked again, it learned to dodge, and soon used up all its crossbows. It rushed forward with its bloody mouth wide open. Xiao Huayong brought Shen Xihe to a safe place and happened to see this scene.
He took out the bone whistle and blew it gently. The petrified Saker Falcon that landed on the cliff spread its wings and flew over.
Shen Xihe turned his head to look at the bone whistle in his hand. It was a whistle carved from the bones of large animals. It had a crisp and penetrating sound and was as shiny as white jade.
"One for you?" Xiao Huayong took out another one and handed it to Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe turned his face downward expressionlessly and refused silently.
Knowing that she would not want it, Xiao Huayong put it away. The Saker Falcon flew away, its wingspan reaching ten feet.
Shen Xihe clearly saw it fly over the giant snake's neck, splashing a string of blood in the air. It circled in midair, turned back, dodged the giant snake's attack, and grabbed the giant snake's body, tearing off two pieces of flesh from it alive.
