Three Months (1)

"It's alright, I don't need to fight. Losing some is no big deal. Besides, my body can recover easily; I can just eat steel," Xiaojin said with a smile.

"No way, I've hardly ever seen you eat steel." Fanxin Xin shook his head immediately upon hearing this. He truly hadn't seen Xiaojin eat steel. Even if he had, it was before Xiaojin followed him. Since then, Xiaojin had never eaten steel. This meant that Xiaojin didn't really want to eat steel anymore.

"You're so observant! Okay, I lied. Actually, I don't like eating steel. Although I can control it, I really dislike it. My body relies on metal ions from food; those things won't harm me." Xiaojin smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I just need to eat more every day to replenish it."

"I see. How about this, after we deal with that Blood King, we'll hunt down a Sea Kings and eat it all, so you can have your fill, how about that?" Fanxin nodded and said with a smile.

"Hehe, okay, but you can't go back on your word," Xiaojin said with a smile.

Fanxin nodded and said, "It's a deal. If I break my promise, I'll be a dog."

"Alright, you can rest for a bit. I'll go urge Ren Fang to hurry up and cook. We'll have a good meal together later," Xiaojin said.

"Okay, tell her to hurry up. I only have one hour. After that, I have to go back to cultivate," Fanxin said.

Xiaojin nodded and went immediately.

"Langyue, Little Black, you two can't be idle these days. You both need to train hard. As long as the seawater hasn't filled the eighth floor, don't worry about me inside, understand?" Fanxin said, looking at Little Black and Langyue beside her.

He didn't know when the war with the Blood King would begin, because the specifics were beyond his control. There was no point in Langyue, Little Black, and Ren Fang waiting here; doing so would not only waste their precious time but also interfere with their cultivation.

"Understood. When we have free time, we practice with Ren Fang to help each other improve," Langyue said.

"That's good." Fanxin said, "After we deal with this Blood King, we'll leave this place and continue our voyage. The time we'll have for cultivation will become increasingly limited."

"That's true, but we will become stronger because we understand what we will face in the future," Langyue nodded and said.

They followed Fanxin, and since Fanxin was going to war with a Marine Admiral, they would inevitably have to fight other Marines as well. If they weren't strong enough, they would be killed, and they didn't want to die like that.

"Good to know. Alright, let's not talk about these sad things anymore. Let's have a good chat about something else." Fanxin Xin waved his hand, unwilling to discuss this matter any further, because he had already said everything he needed to say, and he believed that Langyue and the others had already listened. There was no need for him to repeat himself over and over again.

A moment later, he went to talk about other things with Langyue and Little Black. More than ten minutes later, Ren Fang and Xiaojin came over. Ren Fang was carrying a large box and came to Fanxin's side.

After Ren Fang arrived in front of Fanxin, she immediately put down the box and opened it, revealing its contents. The box was full of delicious dishes, including fish, meat, and a fragrant roast chicken.

"Ah, I'm starting to eat, you guys help yourselves." Fanxin washed her hands, then unceremoniously tore half of the large roast chicken and began to eat it in big bites.

Langyue, Little Black, and the others were all very well-behaved this time, not fighting with Fanxin for the food. If it were any other day, they would have been fighting tooth and nail over it by now. The reason they didn't fight was because they knew what kind of suffering Fanxin had endured inside the tower.

If he doesn't eat his fill, he'll be killed. So they all eat very slowly, making sure his Fanxin is full.

Fanxin ate for more than ten minutes before filling his empty stomach. He glanced at everyone and said, "Alright, I'm going back now. You all should also work hard in your cultivation and not fall behind."

"Be careful." Everyone nodded, leaving only two words for Fanxin.

Fanxin Xin grinned, then headed into the tower. Ren Fang watched Fanxin until Fanxin disappeared before she looked away.

"This afternoon, you guys will train with me. I need to get stronger," Ren Fang said, glancing at Langyue and Little Black.

Fanxin was fighting so fiercely inside, and she couldn't help at all, which made her very uncomfortable. She knew that the reason she couldn't help was because her strength was not strong enough. If her strength were comparable to Fanxin's, then Fanxin would definitely let her stay inside as well.

They've already encountered one formidable enemy, and they can't handle it. They may face many more powerful enemies in the future. What will they do if they can't defeat them all?

Therefore, she decided that if Fanxin was training inside, she would train outside, and she absolutely could not fall behind Fanxin.

"Okay, that's exactly what we were going to suggest. Now that you've brought it up, it's even easier," Langyue said. "We'll train with you this afternoon."

"Okay." Ren Fang nodded, then without further hesitation, began to eat.

"You're back? Are you punctual enough?" Fanxin Xin entered the ninth level, the Blood King's voice reached his ears.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin smiled and said, "Of course I have to be quick. You're quite a troublemaker, and I don't want to be tortured for no reason, so I have to come back as soon as possible."

"Hehe, looks like you're in good spirits. Fine, say whatever you want. Anyway, you'll be mine in the future, so let you vent!" Blood King ignored Fanxin's sarcasm, sitting there smoking a cigar, quietly smoking by himself. Fanxin watched and felt that Blood King was very lonely and somewhat pitiful.

However, he only felt sympathy for the other party for a moment, because the other party wanted him dead, and no matter what kind of sad things he had, he could not tolerate it.

He found a place to sit down and rest, too lazy to waste time arguing with the Blood King.

After finishing his cigar, the Blood King glanced at Fanxin and asked, "How has the world changed now? Can you tell me?"

Fanxin was taken aback upon hearing this, unsure of the other person's purpose, and asked, "Why do you want to know these things? Are you planning something again?"

"Hmph, what kind of trouble could I possibly cause in my current state? I just want to know how things have changed outside," the Blood King scoffed, sounding displeased.
