Traveling Companions

In the end, Zhou Huan said nothing and continued on his journey with the demon version of Le Wuxue.

Because there are definitely no monsters nearby for them to spawn.

Thus, from that day on, the 108th Layer of the Abyss Plane gained two energy-absorbing duos who hunted Abyss creature everywhere.

In the first month, in the southern shrubland wasteland, the two of them wiped out and devoured tens of thousands of Abyss creature like a locust plague.

In the second month, on the endless swamp in the east, the two of them moved like dragons swimming in the sea, killing tens of thousands more Abyss creature.

In the third month, on the Gobi grasslands in the north, the two rode their horses... well, they witnessed the magnificent scenery of the vast sky, the boundless wilderness, and wild beasts appearing as the wind blew the grass low. They felt their hearts were opened up and could embrace the world. In their excitement, they slaughtered tens of thousands of Abyss creature, reaping a bountiful harvest.

In the fourth month, the two finally arrived at the yellow sand desert in the west.

The environment here is even worse; the monsters beneath the sand are stronger and have more energy.

Perhaps it is because of the harsh environment of the Western Desert that the creatures that can survive here are all relatively powerful Abyss creature, and their energy storage effect is more prominent, somewhat like the hump of a camel.

At this moment, in the vast yellow desert, on a Xiao Lu with a tiny crescent-shaped lake, a young man in black is sitting by the lake grilling a piece of meat from an unknown Abyss creature, while a devilishly beautiful girl with two small black horns on her forehead is sucking on a long creature that looks like a centipede.

These two were Zhou Huan and Le Wuxue, who had been busy for more than three months, traversing most of the Abyss 108th Floor.

We haven't been to the central area of this floor yet.

Zhou Huan frowned as he looked at the roasted meat in his hand. This stuff was not tasty at all. Although it contained a lot of energy, and it was definitely much more advanced than the food he brought from Douluo Star, it just didn't taste good.

However, there was nothing that could be done; the chilled food in Zhou Huan's Floating Pagoda had long since run out.

He could have eaten for half a year by himself, but with the addition of Le Wuxue, the rate at which food was consumed instantly doubled.

Actually, given their constant energy absorption, they don't really need to eat much. But as a person, if you don't eat something every day, you always feel empty and uncomfortable.

Therefore, Zhou Huan and Le Wuxue can only eat Abyss creature now, and only some pieces of their flesh that haven't been processed to absorb energy.

Because the Abyss creature whose energy they have absorbed become old and frail, and some even turn into skeletons.

Just as Le Wuxue was happily absorbing the Abyss energy, Zhou Huan called out to her, "Xiao Xue, the meat is cooked. That centipede is almost down to its bones. Can't you leave it... uh, no, leave it a whole corpse? We should keep a kind heart."

Hearing the shout, Le Wuxue, who was only thirty meters away from Zhou Huan, rolled her eyes speechlessly, but still stopped absorbing energy. She muttered under her breath, "You have the nerve to say that to me? You never even leave people with a bone fragment."

Soon, Le Wuxue sat down opposite Zhou Huan, picked up a piece of roasted meat and started eating it in a very casual manner. It wasn't that she ate in a vulgar way, but she just didn't have the style of a dignified young lady of the Spirit Hall, let alone the fact that she grew up as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

So, what has Ren Xue, the Thousand Angel God, Crown Prince of the Empire, and Young Master of the Spirit Hall, experienced over the past ten thousand years to become the Le Wuxue we know today?

Zhou Huan was still a little curious.

Although the two had grown closer over the past three months, as they were good partners in dungeons and had developed some camaraderie, they rarely talked about their own lives.

Especially Le Wuxue, in her little devil form, seemed to have unleashed her true nature. Every day she was either killing Abyss creature or absorbing Abyss energy, with only one goal: to level up, level up, and damn it, level up.

As for other matters, Le Wuxue rarely mentioned them; she wasn't a talkative person.

Therefore, in just over three months, Le Wuxue actually rose from level 62 to level 68.

In such a short time, she leveled up six levels in a row, a speed comparable to riding a rocket. Although she might have been starting over, this leveling speed was still too fast.

If Zhou Huan hadn't reminded her that too much of a good thing can be bad, this girl might have already broken through to the Soul Sage.

Of course, this was also thanks to Zhou Huan's presence; the Abyss creature on this level died as soon as they came, because the energy supply was too abundant.

Miss Yue had never enjoyed such a generous supply of resources in her life, making her somewhat nostalgic for her days in the Spirit Hall.

Looking back now, Le Wuxue also felt that she was really stupid back then. She clearly had so many resources, and her talent was obviously ridiculously good, so why did she have to prove something to her mother and run to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to become the Crown Prince? It was just incredibly stupid.

If she had focused on cultivation from the beginning, she, Qian Renxue, might have become a god before Tang San even reached the Soul Emperor.

Whenever he thought of this, Le Wuxue could only smile bitterly and sigh.

Just as she was getting a little sentimental, Zhou Huan suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Xue, there's something I've always wanted to ask you, but I've been a little embarrassed to ask it."

Upon hearing this, Le Wuxue glanced at Zhou Huan and said, "Then don't ask."

Because she knew that this foul-mouthed guy wouldn't get any nice things out of her.

Sure enough, the next second, Zhou Huan continued, "No, we've been through thick and thin for months now. This is a friendship forged in the crucible of war. I can't let our friendship be tainted with doubt. So... what were you thinking back then? Giving up the perfectly good position of the Spirit Hall's Young Master to become the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Le Wuxue looked at Zhou Huan, opened her mouth slightly, and remained silent for a long time, thinking to herself, "Could this guy read people's minds? How come he asked me this the moment I thought of it?"

Zhou Huan looked at Le Wuxue, who was staring blankly, seemingly lost in thought. He could only wave his hand in front of her eyes and ask, "What's wrong? Are you possessed? Is there something wrong with saying this?"

Then, Le Wuxue slapped Zhou Huan's hand away, glared at him, and said, "What's it to you? So what if I like being the Crown Prince?"

Zhou Huan wasn't angry, after all, he knew this kind of tough-talking person best, so he said, "But you're a woman, aren't you?"

Le Wuxue gave Zhou Huan a disdainful look and said, "Can't I be the empress?"

Zhou Huan: "... That's not entirely impossible."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan, risking being seen as a pervert, asked the question that many netizens had been curious about in his previous life, "Xiao Xue, let me clarify first, this question is purely out of gossip, there's no malice in it, it's just... did you get married later? Did you have any children?"

Upon hearing this, Le Wuxue was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and her anger soared to 100 million. She drew her black longsword and pointed it directly at Zhou Huan.

But clearly, she was so angry that her hands were trembling, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Zhou Huan quickly stood up, pressed down on Le Wuxue's longsword, and soothed her gently, "Well, I was just curious. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. The main thing is that there are too few people with Angel Martial Soul now, which is why Evil Soul Master are becoming more and more rampant. I believe you've heard about the Holy Spirit Cult, right? I'm asking this for the sake of the masses, and it's definitely not something sordid."

Hearing Zhou Huan's explanation, Le Wuxue's expression softened somewhat. After sitting down, she coldly replied, "No, War of the Three Gods, I also perished along with the enemy very quickly. The Angel Martial Soul users you see now are all descendants of some branches of the Angel Clan from ten thousand years ago."

Zhou Huan nodded, "Oh, I see."

However, he didn't ask how Le Wuxue had survived to this day, since she certainly wouldn't want to tell him such a secret, and Zhou Huan naturally wouldn't ask either.

At this moment, Le Wuxue spoke up, "Now it's my turn to ask you, why do you, a mortal, know so much about the Abyss Plane? Or were you once Deity?"
