"Does it still hurt?"
"It's much better." Xi lay on the couch and looked at Gu Xu sitting beside him with a pair of watery eyes, "Master, did I perform too poorly just now and made you very dissatisfied?"
Gu Xu shook his head.
"You have no experience before," he said. "It's the first time you can do it to this extent. It surprises me."
"Then why are you frowning all the time? I thought I made you unhappy."
"I just...just suddenly thought of someone."
What Gu Xu thought of was naturally Zhao Yan, who had just awakened the power of blood and obtained the wings of the Fire Phoenix.
At that time, Zhao Yanying was so handsome, like she was reborn from Nirvana.
Unlike this stupid little girl, she finally flew up and hit the ceiling.
"Who is it?" Xi sat up straight and stared at Gu Xu, "Is it a woman?"
"Why are you so nervous?" Gu Xu looked at her alert look and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's not because I'm afraid that Master will be robbed by others," Xi moved her body and got closer to him, then grabbed one of his arms and held him in her arms, "Master is beautiful and powerful. There must be many people who like you in your hometown!"
Gu Xu remained silent.
"If you don't speak, then there must be one." The girl put her chin on his shoulder. "Master, can you tell me who they are? Take me with you when you go home, and I will challenge them."
Since possessing the "Holy Fire Totem", Xi has always unconsciously wanted to be next to Gu Xu.
When she was close to him, she would feel as if the blood all over her body had become warm, and she felt indescribably comfortable.
Hearing her words, Gu Xu couldn't help but complain in his heart: This little girl, after possessing the "Holy Fire Totem", seems to really regard herself as a man in the wild tribe. When something goes wrong, she will go to fight with her love rival. The fierce folk customs of Dayan Kingdom in the future may have originated from here.
"You should practice well first, don't think about all this nonsense," Gu Xu gently pushed the girl away, then stood up from the bed, "With your current strength, you can't even defeat the most common ghosts. If you really go, In my hometown, the only thing you can do is get beaten up."
"Are everyone in your hometown as strong as you?" The girl jumped out of bed after him.
"There are those who are stronger than me, and there are those who are weaker than me. Their strength is uneven."
"There is someone stronger than Master!" The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise. In her knowledge, Gu Xu has always been the most powerful and invincible existence in the world.
"To tell the truth," Gu Xu sighed, "The reason why I came here is because I was being hunted."
"Who wants to kill you?" Xi raised her voice slightly, and her tone was unconsciously mixed with a hint of nervousness and a hint of anger.
"The most powerful practitioner in my world."
"How strong is he?"
"He could kill me with one slap."
"That's too scary!"
Xi took a deep breath and didn't recover for a long time.
After being silent for a while, she suddenly ran out of the "Xianyun Residence" without saying a word.
"Where are you going?" Gu Xu stopped her.
"Practice as you told me!" Xi said without hesitation, "Master, you said that I have extraordinary talents. So as long as I practice hard, I might be able to help Master get rid of my enemies in the future!"
Gu Xu looked at her and wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back.
…………
In the evening of this day, the Red Fire Tribe and the Blood Wolf Tribe held a party beside the bonfire to celebrate the official merger of the two tribes.
Armed with wooden clubs and crude stone weapons, the men of the tribe hunted two bison, slaughtered them and roasted them over the flames.
After eating and drinking, they challenged each other again, and the two of them engaged in close combat with fists and fists. The women cheered and cheered for them.
People in ancient times worshiped strength.
The struggle of strength is also an absolute theme in this rare celebration.
Gu Xu sat quietly in a corner not far away, closing his eyes and meditating without interfering.
He wore the black half-face mask given to him by Luo Sishou.
In the eyes of everyone, he is just a passerby with no sense of existence. No one would give him a second glance.
Xi sat next to him.
At this moment, she is still in the joy of obtaining the "Holy Fire Totem".
She lit up the totem pattern on her body again and again, and extinguished it again and again, like a child who had just received a birthday gift.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Suddenly a voice not far away sounded: "Chief Gaoxin, have you convinced your granddaughter now?"
When Gu Xu heard the sound, he looked up and saw a dark, muscular man with his hands on his hips in front of Xi's grandfather.
The strong man had a bear-like body and was as tall as a hill. His shiny hair was tied into a cockcomb-like bun on his head, and his body was covered with wild wolf patterns using various paints.
At first glance, he looks like he is not easy to mess with.
"That man is the son of the leader of the Blood Wolf tribe, Jian Ya." Xi introduced in a low voice in Gu Xu's ear.
"Is he the one who wants to marry you?"
"Yeah." Xi nodded.
Then she stood up, sneaked up to the dark burly man in the blink of an eye, and stopped in front of her grandfather.
"Jiangya, if you have anything to do, tell me directly. Don't embarrass my grandpa!"
When the swarthy strong man saw the young and beautiful girl, his two bell-like eyes immediately lit up. He reached out and grabbed Xi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xi, you are finally here -"
But before he finished speaking, there was a faint red light flickering on Xi's body, and then a huge force surged out of thin air, pushing the strong man's fangs like an iron tower to the ground.
Fang was lying on the ground with a shocked expression on his face. He never imagined that a slender girl could knock him to the ground effortlessly.
"I must have been careless." Fang thought silently as he got up from the ground.
"I want to challenge you," Xi stood in front of him with her hands on her hips, "If you win, I will marry you. If I win, then you can't pester me and my people again in the future."
"I don't accept challenges from women," Jangya raised his chin and shook his head, "This is the rule of the tribe."
"Don't you dare to compete with me?" Xi narrowed her eyes and looked at him provocatively.
"Women are weak," Jianya said seriously, "It is an insult to my honor to compete with women."
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Rules can be changed."
Everyone followed the sound and looked.
They saw a young man who was too handsome to be ordinary, wearing clothes that did not belong to this era, striding towards them.
Golden-red flames swirled and danced around him, making him look like a god descending.
