CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 388: BEAST GOD FOREST 11 (HUAIQING)

Sure enough, as soon as we reached the Beast God Cliff, White Tiger City is conveniently next to Reishi Royal City.

The fox inside Reishi Royal City is indeed the one he’s been searching for.

As for the rumors outside about the fox from Reishi Royal City being a great cook.

Huaiqing remains skeptical about this.

But the fox isn’t important.

What’s important is that it’s easier to locate Xiao Jinsheng among these rivals.

"Xiaoxiao, did you teleport to Reishi Royal City with Xuan Jiu?" Huaiqing asked.

"No, I’m not like you guys." Xiao Jinsheng shook his head.

He briefly explained his visits to Cloud World and Illusion Realm, and his recent arrival at Beast God Forest.

"So, in your timeline, you’ve traveled across three worlds in less than three days." Huaiqing confirmed: "But in our time, Que Zelian has been in Cloud Sky for 25 years?"

"Yes." Xiao Jinsheng nodded: "Mo Jiao didn’t, she arrived at Illusion Realm around the same time as me."

"You and Xuan Jiu have both been in Beast God Forest for two years."

"Since each world’s time flows differently, that’s normal." Xiao Jinsheng remained calm about it.

After all, she had already verified.

Whether it’s Cloud World or Beast God Forest.

Outsiders like them only gain experience, not age.

Otherwise, Que Zelian in Cloud World has stayed for 25 years, even as a Superpower User who can live for hundreds of years, shouldn’t his appearance show some time’s passing?

But it doesn’t.

Que Zelian looks just the same as when she separated from him a second ago.

"There are twelve channels outside in total?" Huaiqing reconfirmed.

"Yeah, at first, I thought maybe there was one channel per person, eleven people for eleven channels." Xiao Jinsheng shared her hypothesis: "The extra channel might be for the Cannibal Flower."

"But since the Cannibal Flower came out from Illusion Realm, it can’t continue into the next channel."

"And you appeared in the same world, Beast God Forest, as Xuan Jiu."

"The remaining channels probably won’t have two empty ones."

"If I enter a channel without you guys, it would be a wasted effort."

"Perhaps entering these channels and finding whether there are people inside could reveal some patterns beforehand." Huaiqing comforted.

He tightened the embrace around Xiao Jinsheng’s arm, totally unwilling to release her even a bit, softly saying: "Since we are now in Beast God Forest, can we just quietly stay here together for a while?"

"Later on, when we leave Beast God Forest, we’ll think about the others."

"Huaiqing..." Listening to Huaiqing’s pleading tone, Xiao Jinsheng curiously tilted her head to look at him: "That doesn’t sound like you at all."

"Because time will erode my insincerity." Huaiqing responded with a laugh.

In the past, whether in Mist Continent or venturing to Exile Star Domain.

Or climbing the Cloud Ladder in Cloud Sky.

There were always others around.

Within this household, he couldn’t solely occupy Xiao Jinsheng’s attention forever.

Whether it’s for Xiao Jinsheng’s good, or for the good of this family.

Now, there are no other people.

Perhaps the two-year separation, maybe not having to worry about others’ feelings or trouble Xiao Jinsheng anymore.

Huaiqing didn’t want to unravel the reason.

Just wanted to hold her like this.

Even just leaning on each other for a few more minutes is good.

"Time will only erode your insincerity." Xiao Jinsheng smiled: "But it won’t diminish your honesty."

"Hmm?" Huaiqing stared at her, perplexed.

Seeing Xiao Jinsheng’s hand roaming upwards along his Mugwort buckle, hooking his collar to pull him down: "Coward, too scared to think even a bit bolder, I want a cuddle."

"Alright, a cuddle then." Huaiqing’s eyes lit up instantly.

He lifted Xiao Jinsheng up a bit.

Lowering his head to press face to face with her.

Xiao Jinsheng tilted her face, gave a little kiss on his lips, a playful grin on her mouth: "Also a kiss."

"Xiaoxiao, we’re still outside." Huaiqing looked at her, his gaze darkened.

He glanced around the surroundings.

Still in the kitchen of a little villa.

"Oh, what about outside?" Xiao Jinsheng pretended not to understand.

"I’m afraid I can’t control myself." Huaiqing whispered against her face.

"Aren’t you the ninja sheep?" Xiao Jinsheng reminded, fearing Huaiqing had forgotten, she added: "Telling military strategy to lull me to sleep."

"Won’t talk about it next time." Huaiqing quickly remedied.

"No, keep talking about it, it helps me sleep well." Xiao Jinsheng nodded.

"Then... may I not hold back?" Huaiqing asked staring at Xiao Jinsheng.

Xiao Jinsheng blinked, the fox ears among her hair moved slightly.

Just as she was about to suggest Huaiqing’s room upstairs isn’t far,

Xuan Jiu cheerfully entered the Realm, calling out loudly as soon as he reached the living room: "Family Head~ Family Head~ where are you~"

"In the kitchen." Xiao Jinsheng responded.

Xuan Jiu came in, his gaze paused noticing Huaiqing’s cuddling gesture with Xiao Jinsheng.

But soon he returned to his usual joking self: "Prophet, that White Tiger in White Tiger City is looking for you."

"Understood." Huaiqing’s eyes darkened.

Thinking about that silly fellow from White Tiger City makes his head feel a bit ache.

He asked Xuan Jiu: "Did he mention any issues?"

"He didn’t say anything, but judging by his looks he seemed quite anxious." Xuan Jiu replied.

"Wanna go back and take a look?" Xiao Jinsheng inquired concerned: "After all, there’s a competition tonight to participate in."

Regardless of anything.

Huaiqing has lived in White Tiger City for two years.

Knowing Huaiqing’s temperament, staying this long, Xiao Jinsheng figured White Tiger City must be a nice place.

As the Family Head, finding Beast God Huaiqing, she surely would follow him to leave.

Xiao Jinsheng wondered if she should also meet this White Tiger Beast King? And get to know more about Huaiqing’s life these past two years.

"Want me to accompany you?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

Huaiqing, who was hesitating about whether to leave.

Upon hearing this.

Stopped making food, grabbed Xiao Jinsheng, nodded: "Sure."

"Can you take her over; is that mysterious force monitoring you?" Xuan Jiu promptly halted Huaiqing.

"My prophetic ability is naturally shielded from that force." Huaiqing replied.

He then reached out, pinched Xiao Jinsheng’s fox ears: "In prophecy, I also know that mutually retaining each other’s aura between spouses can shield against that force."

"So there’s no problem with Xiaoxiao accompanying me to White Tiger City."

"Alright then." Xuan Jiu felt relieved seeing this.

Just as Huaiqing thought he could leave with Xiao Jinsheng, Xuan Jiu suddenly pounced.

Hugging Xiao Jinsheng’s leg, he looked up at her: "Family Head, I want to go too."

"White Fox and White Tiger, all are huhu, I think we can be considered relatives."

"Perhaps the White Tiger Beast King is my second aunt’s third uncle’s neighbor’s grandmother’s son?"

"Now, at least it’s the king of a city." Huaiqing couldn’t bear anymore: "Do you have to be this shameless? I never said you can’t go."

"Let’s all go together." Xiao Jinsheng nodded, reaching out to pat the fox’s head.

Xuan Jiu chuckled with joy, eagerly following Xiao Jinsheng out of the Realm.

Huaiqing went to Reishi Royal City camp alone.

If leaving, it’s three plus ’one additional person’.

Caicai carried the spatula, equally curious about White Tiger City.

"Prophet." The White Tiger Beast King was already anxiously waiting outside the camp, rushing over upon seeing Huaiqing.

Noticing Xiao Jinsheng beside Huaiqing, his expression changed.

The White Tiger Beast King first gave an awkward smile with Xiao Jinsheng and Xuan Jiu, then quickly took Huaiqing to a corner.

"Tiger King, what’s the matter?" Huaiqing asked puzzled.

Seeing the White Tiger Beast King acting sneaky, still cautiously looking back at Xiao Jinsheng’s direction, nervously inquired: "I’ve been told you want to challenge Wang Dajiu, and snatch his Queen?"

"What?" With the chaotic message and identity, Huaiqing momentarily couldn’t understand.

The White Tiger Beast King saw Huaiqing didn’t deny, assuming Huaiqing was indeed planning to snatch somebody’s wife.

He steeled his heart, saying: "Doesn’t mean I’m not a brother, since you really like her, as a brother, I’ll help you kill Wang Dajiu. Once Wang Dajiu dies, you can be with his Queen."
