CHAPTER 866: CHAPTER 866: LITTLE THING, RELENTLESS

"Don’t get angry, it’s not worth it..."

Yao Yuzhi’s face twitched, secretly biting back her anger and responded, "The Flower Sea is ruined from the fight, there’s nothing worth admiring."

After casually finding an excuse, the Divine Shuttle Ship moved away from the Flower Sea.

Below, as soon as Sikong Jing landed, he saw that Gongyang Ying had finished crying and was now looking at him with worry.

Surely, it’s because he was taken aboard the Divine Shuttle Ship, which made her unable to hold back her anxiety.

Smiling a little, Sikong Jing spoke to her calmly, "It’s nothing, just the highest Decision Maker thought I might have cheated again, so they pulled me up for questioning, but it’s all settled now."

Hearing this, Gongyang Ying gently exhaled and then turned around to wipe away the tears that had turned her face into that of a small crying cat.

However, her whole body shivered slightly, suddenly realizing what Sikong Jing had said.

His strength was as if he cheated.

He alone had taken out two teams, something she hadn’t fully processed before, but now Gongyang Ying completely understood that Sikong Jing was a top-tier presence in this competition for the slot.

Suddenly, her entire body trembled again!

Gongyang Ying thought of something else, hurriedly whispered, "Thank you, Sikong Jing, you saved my life."

She was still facing away from Sikong Jing, but her voice was extremely sincere.

She was genuinely grateful to Sikong Jing, because without his sudden appearance, she would have been a corpse by now.

Before dying, she might have been severely humiliated and her War Body Bloodline robbed.

Grandfather was right, even when Sikong Jing had once kidnapped her as a mountain bandit, he still adhered to a line that he wouldn’t cross.

He was powerful, even worthy of respect from enemies, rather than being a Demon...

Sikong Jing heard this and replied calmly, "Saving you is just the rightful thing to do."

Although they hadn’t explicitly mentioned fighting side by side, it was something tacitly agreed upon, so of course, Sikong Jing would save her... and he truly did appreciate Gongyang Ying’s character.

In the past, he did bully the young lady quite badly, leaving him a bit remorseful.

But hearing his words, Gongyang Ying’s spirit shuddered, the rightful thing to do?

Suddenly, the image of Sikong Jing appearing and holding her waist flashed in her mind, and recalling all past incidents, her spirit trembled even more fiercely, almost dizzy.

She couldn’t even tell if it was because she was too injured or because of something else causing her dizziness; it was all just too chaotic.

Since Gongyang Ying was still facing away, Sikong Jing couldn’t see her face, otherwise, he would certainly find it strange how Miss Gongyang’s expression changed so dramatically and bizarrely.

At this moment, Sikong Jing chuckled again, "By the way, I mentioned giving you a gift just now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gongyang Ying’s entire body trembled more violently, her small fists clenched lightly, and her palms began to sweat.

Soon, she heard the rustling sound of Sikong Jing approaching, and she couldn’t help but scream, "You, you stop."

She didn’t even know why she asked Sikong Jing to stop, she just did.

Sikong Jing halted his steps in confusion, but then suddenly realized, thinking that Miss Gongyang, being a famous beauty, surely cared about her appearance... perhaps thinking her face wasn’t clean yet.

Maybe she even wanted to put a little makeup on because after all, there were injuries on her face.

Just then, Gongyang Ying asked in a voice as low as a mosquito, "Sikong Jing, why are you giving me a gift?"

"You already have a family, I’m not the kind of woman you think I am."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing was dumbfounded, what situation is this?

"Even though it’s quite normal for men to have multiple wives, I, the dignified Miss Gongyang, would never be a concubine." Gongyang Ying said, her shoulders trembling slightly as her voice grew stronger.

And Sikong Jing was even more dumbfounded, what is all this about?

Subconsciously, he took out the gift, which was half an inner core of a Moon Swallowing Beast.

He looked at the trembling back of Gongyang Ying and then glanced at the half inner core in his hand, his mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Miss Gongyang, you’ve misunderstood."

"I’m not the kind of man you think either, turn around and see the gift for yourself."

Sikong Jing was a bit frustrated, he couldn’t quite understand how Gongyang Ying had misconceived the situation.

Could it be because he held her waist when saving her?

But he only had one hand free, if not for holding her waist, should he have kicked her away or pulled her hair up?

Blinking, Gongyang Ying finally turned back to see the gift in Sikong Jing’s hand, and then her entire face went blank... she had thought it was some kind of token of affection, yet it was just half an inner core.

"This half inner core of the Moon Swallowing Beast is very useful to your Moon Soul Battle Body."

Sikong Jing awkwardly explained, "I only needed half, so I kept the other half to give to you."

As he finished speaking, Gongyang Ying’s face gradually turned crimson, had she misunderstood? What did she just say?

"Ahem, saving you was the rightful thing to do because we are already considered a small team. It was my negligence to have always been in cultivation without seeking you and Chou Zhan, causing you to fall into danger," Sikong Jing added.

But the more Sikong Jing explained, the redder Gongyang Ying’s face became, she just wanted to find a hole to hide in.

"If I have done anything to make Miss Gongyang misunderstand, I apologize here."

Sikong Jing was truly helpless, but thinking about it, he probably didn’t do much, not even touching her hand when he kidnapped her.

"I, I, I... was just testing to see if you were a scoundrel or not."

"I, Gongyang Ying, detest scoundrels the most. For us to fight side by side, it certainly depends on one’s character. Otherwise, even if I were to die, I would never agree... and since you want to be sworn brothers with me, character is even more important."

Gongyang Ying rambled on, amidst her restlessness, she stepped forward and took the half inner core from Sikong Jing’s hand.

"Thanks, uh, I’ll just go find a place to freshen up."

With that, Gongyang Ying dashed off into the flower bushes like the wind.

Then, at a place relatively far from Sikong Jing, she covered her head and squatted down hard.

Her messy hair fluttered as she muttered lowly, "So embarrassing, this is just too embarrassing, I can’t live like this..."

But just then, Sikong Jing’s voice resonated behind her again, "Miss Gongyang, there’s something... what are you doing?"

Instinctively, Gongyang Ying lifted her head. Beneath her disheveled hair, there was only a pair of stunned eyes, as the air seemed to freeze.

Aaaaah, how did Sikong Jing catch up?

Sikong Jing blinked, and then suddenly understood, clearing his throat twice, "Ahem, I wanted to say..."

Before he could finish, his eyes sharpened, and he shouted lowly, "As expected, it came."

With that, Sikong Jing swiftly darted out.

He swung a sword light, blocking in front of the dazed Gongyang Ying, with a loud bang, followed by a screeching noise echoing from close to far, as a mass of fireflies was violently swept away.

Amidst the fluttering glow, appeared the silhouette of a tiny rat.

In that very instant, it had tried to attack Gongyang Ying, only to be caught and blasted away by Sikong Jing.

"Miss Gongyang, don’t just stand there."

"Quickly absorb the half inner core of the Moon Swallowing Beast, otherwise, there’s a little thing that won’t stop chasing us."

Sikong Jing had caught up, of course, because he remembered there were Shadow Moon Rats around the Flower Sea.
