Chapter 271 - The Spendthrift Girl

Chapter 271 The Spendthrift Girl

When Xia Lu wakes up, she finds that she is lying in the cave where she and Gao Ge stayed before.

Gao Ge is still healing himself in meditation.

Besides, she notices that Gao Ge’s Qi has been greatly changed. He seems to be elevating his cultivation instead of healing himself.

Fire Dragon is sitting aside. Upon seeing that Xia Lu is awake, he hastens to walk over.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yes…” Although she doesn’t know where her brother got this useful pill, it does work well. Her pain has been so relieved that she can hardly sense it, as if the ribs have been reconnected.

Fire Dragon breathes a sigh of relief, shakes his head and says, “Was the man of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect killed by you and Gao Ge?”

“Yes.” Xia Lu nods her head, “Gao Ge and I have found a kind of beads, which can resist the cold in the snow terrain. The man wanted to take the beads but Gao Ge didn’t let him.”

“Well. The Xiaoshan Sword Sect imposes itself as the first-class cultivation school in Huaxia, so their people become more and more arrogant. Death is not to be regretted.” Fire Dragon says coldly, “From now on, if I meet with other apprentices of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect in the snow terrain, I must kill them all!”

Then he gets angry, “Gao Ge is silly. Only some beads. Just let him have the beads. It’s no big deal! How greedy he is!”

Xia Lu suddenly puts on a serious face, “Lord Fire Dragon, Gao Ge is not like that.”

“Oh yeah?”

Xia Lu takes a deep breath and says, “In fact, it is no point eating too many beads. Gao Ge and I both have eaten the beads. We didn’t hand them over not because he was stingy. For one thing, he wants to save the beads for the students of Cultivation Academy or the members of the Dragon Court. For another, he poses himself as a member of the Dragon Court…”

“What’s about being a member of the Dragon Court?”

“The member of the Dragon Court cannot compromise or concede to the people of any cultivation school!” Xia Lu says sternly.

Fire Dragon takes a tumble.

He turns around to look at Gao Ge and smiles.

“It seems that I did blame him wrongly. Because he always looks like caring about nothing, I can’t believe he should hold that thought.”

Xia Lu thinks it over and suddenly understands Fire Dragon.

The killing intent of Fire Dragon becomes more too.

“Actually, whether individually or from the angle of the Dragon Court, if you stay silent for too long, others will believe that you are too old to attend to many matters, which I think is not right. Hence, from now on, we should let the cultivators who are itchy for action know whatever they do is under our watch. The eyes of God may not be everywhere to keep watch on the wicked and the good, but the Dragon Court is out there for sure!”

Every word reflects endless imposing momentum.

The words may not sound peculiar if they are uttered by others.

However, the words are said by Fire Dragon. Every word is like a blade sharp enough to slaughter the world.

Very soon, Gao Ge also wakes up.

He takes a deep breath and opens his eyes with a pitiful face.

It is so close.

It is so close before he can light up the fourth star map.

Luckily, the secret realm is open so he still has chance. He has set a goal for himself that he must completely light up the fourth star map in the following time. Now he is quite curious how capable he will be after he lights up the fourth star map.

“Lord Fire Dragon, why are you here?” Upon seeing Fire Dragon, Gao Ge is rather surprised.

Fire Dragon glances at him and says impatiently, “I moved you here.”

As Gao Ge was in meditation, Fire Dragon didn’t dare to act recklessly so he could only move Gao Ge here bit by bit, trying not to disturb him. He was absolutely cautious.

It is the first time that Fire Dragon has been cautious about someone.

If Gao Ge finds it out, he will feel extremely shocked.

Fire Dragon stands up and says, “Since you are awake, I shall leave first.”

However, he seems to think of something and asks, “By the way, did you meet anyone special?”

“Someone special?”

“Yes. A swordsman.”

Gao Ge says smilingly, “We did, but he was killed by us. The Xiaoshan Sword Sect guy.”

Fire Dragon shakes his head, “No, that’s not the one.”

“Then no.” Gao Ge says with a bitter smile.

Fire Dragon turns around to look at Xia Lu. She also shakes her head.

Fire Dragon heaves a sigh and doesn’t ask further. Instead, he changes the topic, “Was the Swordlord Ming Wu really killed by you?”

“Swordlord Ming Wu?”

“I mean the apprentice of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect.”

“Oh!” Gao Ge nods his head, “Yes.”

“According to Xia Lu, as long as you handed over the beads to him, you would be fine. Why did you insist on fighting with him?” Fire Dragon asks smilingly.

Gao Ge thinks for a while and says seriously, “Of course I must fight with him. On what grounds should I hand over the treasure to him? The beads are for my girlfriend and brothers.”

Fire Dragon shakes his head, “So it is about a boy’s shyness and indescribable dignity. Fine, forget about it.”

After saying that, Fire Dragon turns around to walk out of the cave, saying, “I must go after the young swordsman. You guys look after yourselves. Just run away if you encounter any danger.”

After Fire Dragon leaves, Gao Ge stares at Xia Lu with confusion.

“What are the indescribable dignity and a boy’s shyness?”

Xia Lu stretches out her arms to show that she has no idea either.

“Are you hurt too?” Seeing the blood stains on Xia Lu’s clothes, Gao Ge gets worried.

“Yes, I met with Briar and Bramble.” Xia Lu says, “I was almost smashed into pieces by them. I am not Logger Vick anyway.”

Gao Ge is shocked, “Briar and Bramble?”

Xia Lu briefed him about the two white bears she met before.

Gao Ge takes a tumble.

“Since so, how come you are okay? Was it because Fire Dragon arrived in time to save you?”

“No.”

“Was it thanks to Mr. Li then?” Gao Ge says grinningly.

Xia Lu rolls her eyes at him, “Childish.”

Gao Ge laughs, “I am glad you are okay. Otherwise, my conscience would stir. Next time when you meet the similar incident, just run. No need to worry about me.”

Xia Lu doesn’t answer him. Gao Ge doesn’t anticipate her reply either. After all, he knows the answer.

Seeing that Gao Ge stands up and walks out of the cave, Xia Lu also gets up and follows him, “What are you going to do?”

“To find Briar and Bramble.” Gao Ge says.

“Didn’t I mention that? They are all dead.” Xia Lu is more confused.

“Hence, the core of beast. Man, you are such a spendthrift girl. The two rare beasts are dead. Don’t you know you should gouge the cores of beasts out of them?”

Xia Lu is speechless.

Out of no reason, she suddenly feels like beating Gao Ge up now.

When they arrive at the place of the previous fight, Briar’s and Bramble’s corpses are still there.

“The bear’s hide is not bad.” Gao Ge takes out the Flying Star Sword and starts to work.

While gouging the cores of beasts, he says.

“It seems that Xia Shengtang has been much more capable over the past time.”

“Yes.” Xia Lu regrets the second she answers him.

Gao Ge snickers.
