Xing Tian

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Cang Xuan's cheeks flushed red after hearing Xu Yanwu's words, and she angrily kicked him in the face.

"Thanks for the hospitality... no, wait, Wind! Fulfill my wish!"

Xu Yanwu promptly reined in his perverse thoughts and shouted his current desire in his heart.

"Whoosh—!" "Ah!"

The moment Xu Yanwu's wish was about to be realized, a gust of wind swept over, forcefully lifting the skirts of the two sisters...

Hmm, Cang Xuan's were black, and Dan Zhu's were white... very fitting for their personalities...

"They look pretty good... Ah, no, do you believe me now! I can really predict the future!"

Xu Yanwu yelled at the two sisters.

"Shut up! You shameless old pervert!"

"Shut up, you!"

The two sisters covered their skirts, their faces turning bright red. The wind had come too suddenly, and before they could react, their skirts were lifted. Most importantly, it happened right in front of a man.

"What did you see?"

Cang Xuan showed an expression for the first time since meeting Xu Yanwu, looking utterly humiliated.

"Black and white... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Before Xu Yanwu could finish speaking, Cang Xuan grabbed his ear and lifted him up: "A shameless old pervert like you! You should just be locked up in a cryo-sleep pod!"

"Bang!"

Cang Xuan directly threw Xu Yanwu into a cryo-sleep pod and shut the hatch.

"Huh? Hey!"

"You're just leaving me like this? At least take me with you! I want to lick... I mean, go see Ji Xuanyuan! Let me out!"

Listening to the increasingly distant footsteps outside, Xu Yanwu felt like crying but couldn't. Yet, he couldn't help but worry about the two girls.

"They should be fine... They're warriors with Saint Marks after all... They shouldn't have trouble getting out of the forest, right..."

"Damn it... If only my body were here... Where is my body right now..."

— — — At this moment, far, far away — — —

"Jiang Zhu, what are you looking at? Why did you suddenly come all the way here?"

On the cliff face, a young girl wearing orange-yellow clothes and adorned with many precious ornaments held a sword in her arms and spoke to the red-haired youth standing at the edge of the cliff: "The wind is so strong up here, be careful not to fall."

"Ah? It's you, Ji Xuanyuan."

Jiang Zhu suddenly came to his senses and waved his hand: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something..."

As Jiang Zhu waved his hand, a small crystal in his palm began to shimmer under the light.

"Jiang Zhu, what is that..."

Ji Xuanyuan asked with some curiosity.

"You mean this?"

Jiang Zhu paused, then waved the crystal in his hand again: "This is an item passed down through generations in our Shennong Clan."

"According to the legends of our Shennong Clan, a long, long time ago, the Shennong Clan was invaded by many monsters, some of which were as colossal as mountains. Many of our people died then."

"It was at this time that the mountain our Shennong Clan depended on suddenly shattered, and a headless warrior emerged from the broken mountain."

"That warrior fought the monsters with his bare hands for ten days and ten nights. In the end, using the monsters' carapaces as shields and their long horns as weapons, he slew all the monsters by the shattered mountain. However, the warrior eventually fell and transformed into this piece of glaze in my hand."

"To thank him, our Shennong Clan has passed down this piece of glaze through generations and also gave that warrior a name..."

"What name?"

Ji Xuanyuan asked with great curiosity, tilting her head as she looked at Jiang Zhu, wanting to get the answer from him.

After hearing Ji Xuanyuan's question, Jiang Zhu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked up at the sky before finally uttering two words.

"Xing Tian!"

Ji Xuanyuan squatted beside Jiang Zhu, listening to him recount his clan's legend. A hint of hope appeared in her eyes: "Is this a true story? That Xing Tian sounds so powerful, to be able to kill so many monsters..."

Jiang Zhu scratched his head with a somewhat simple expression: "Actually, I don't know if this legend is true or not. I only heard my father tell me about it when I was young. It's just that this piece of glaze suddenly started shaking today, so I remembered this story."

"Perhaps the legend is true?" Ji Xuanyuan cupped her small face: "I wish I were that powerful too..."

"Xuan Yuan, you're already very powerful now, able to kill such formidable monsters."

"But I'm still not strong enough. Otherwise, everyone in the tribe wouldn't have to live such a hard life."

Seeing Ji Xuanyuan looking a bit dejected, Jiang Zhu's face turned red. He struggled for a moment before finally managing to say: "You can definitely do it! I believe in you!"

"Jiang Zhu? You..."

"Ji Lin! Lian Shan! The tribe has already prepared dinner! Hurry back!"

A girl's shout suddenly came from below the cliff, interrupting what Ji Xuanyuan was about to say.

Hearing about food, Ji Xuanyuan's eyes visibly sparkled. She shouted down at the cliff, "Got it, Chi Yuan! We're coming down!"

Jiang Zhu had been feeling a little dejected, but the next moment, the girl who made his heart flutter countless times reached out to him, "Jiang Zhu, let's go. We're heading back to the tribe for dinner."

Jiang Zhu froze for a moment, then foolishly placed his hand into the girl's palm. "Okay..."

--- Xu Yanwu in the Cryo-sleep Pod ---

"Ah—" Xu Yanwu suddenly opened his mouth and let out a thunderous sneeze: "Achoo!"

Xu Yanwu rubbed his nose inside the cryo-sleep pod helplessly. "It's really inconvenient not having hands. Speaking of which, am I sneezing because someone's thinking of me? Could it be Danzhu and Cang Xuan?"

"But why does my heart feel inexplicably heavy, like I just ate a dog food commercial..."

"Never mind, never mind," Xu Yanwu quickly shook his head. "I still feel like I should get out of this cryo-sleep pod..."

As he spoke, Xu Yanwu concentrated his consciousness. "I want to move about a meter outside of this cryo-sleep pod!"

The ability to make thoughts become reality activated once more after Xu Yanwu spoke. His head suddenly appeared outside the cryo-sleep pod.

"Yahoo! I did it! It seems I'm getting more and more proficient with this ability." Xu Yanwu cheered a little, then quickly flew towards the sky. "I should hurry and find those two sisters. Honestly, they just left me behind without a second thought and locked me in this cryo-sleep pod..."

"Can't they use their brains and think? If I could get in... doesn't that mean I can get out..."

Xu Yanwu muttered to himself, looking down at the land from a high vantage point. His heart couldn't help but tremble.

Having lived in the city his whole life, Xu Yanwu had never seen such a vast forest before; his eyes were dazzled
