Chapter 114: Might as Well Put It to Use

Luo Xia had never seen Wuying so cautious; it seemed the magical beast ahead was powerful enough to make even him look up with reverence.

She nodded. "Then be careful, Wuying."

Situ Tengyi felt a warmth in his heart at her words. He blew a playful, ambiguous breath toward her. "Is Luoluo worried about me?"

Luo Xia rolled her eyes at him. This man really knew how to take an inch and try to take a mile.

"Yes, I am worried about you. If you meet with an accident, who will accompany me to find the Spirit Power Fruit?"

Situ Tengyi, "..."

Sigh, one really shouldn't expect too much from this girl.

At this thought, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. "That’s fine too. At least I am of use to Luoluo, keeping me on her mind at all times."

Luo Xia, "..."

The shamelessness of this man was truly beyond compare!

Luo Xia sighed, resting her forehead in her hand.

"Luoluo, wait for me here obediently. Don’t wander off, and if anything happens, contact me immediately."

With that, Situ Tengyi handed her a sound-transmission talisman. "Pull this thread, and I will be able to hear you when you speak."

Luo Xia took the talisman. In truth, it was a single charm with ten threads attached, meaning each one could be used to communicate with ten different people.

The thread connected to Situ Tengyi was red.

Luo Xia nodded. "Understood."

"Luoluo, wait for me here, I’ll be back soon." After giving his final instructions, Situ Tengyi lifted her face and kissed her fiercely.

It was a heavy, aching kiss, suppressing his intense emotions.

Before Luo Xia could react, Situ Tengyi had already walked away. His unique scent still lingered on her lips.

Luo Xia sighed; it seemed she was becoming less and less able to deal with this overbearing man.

Turning around, she saw Lucky standing not far away.

Wuying really was worried about her, leaving Lucky to guard her.

"Lucky, go follow Wuying. He needs you more over there," Luo Xia tried to communicate with the creature.

Lucky flicked its colorful tail. Although it could not speak, it understood human language perfectly well. Its master had ordered it to guard Luo Xia, and it could not afford the slightest negligence.

In the past, it had looked down on Luo Xia, as its master was powerful enough to make even gods look up, while Luo Xia was merely a waste.

However, ever since it had tasted her barbecue, Lucky had changed its mind. Actually, having a gourmet chef by one's side was quite nice; it meant being able to enjoy delicious food anytime, anywhere.

Luo Xia furrowed her brows.

Although Wuying possessed ten clones, each as powerful as himself, if his true form were injured, the power of his clones would be greatly diminished. Besides, she hadn't sensed any danger along the way; she didn't believe anything could happen in just these few minutes.

With this in mind, Luo Xia gave a cunning smile. "Lucky, if you don't listen to me, you won't get any of the gourmet food I cook in the future."

As expected, Lucky could not handle such a threat.

The majestic-looking creature looked at Luo Xia pitifully. It desperately wanted to follow its master, but its master had forbidden it from leaving Luo Xia’s side, and now she was threatening it like this.

It was going crazy!

"Lucky, think it over carefully," Luo Xia continued to apply pressure, seeing its hesitation. "You won't get to eat any more delicious food. You’ve seen how I am along this journey—I can be quite ruthless, you know?"

Lucky jumped up in a frenzy.

It wanted to leave, but it dared not!

"Lucky, I’m going to count to three. If you don't go, then all the food I cook in the future—"

Just then, Zhaocai poked its head out of Luo Xia's sleeve and fawned, "Master, give it all to me instead?"
