"Kid Zhou, forget this academy tournament. Why don't we go treasure hunting instead?" The Black Donkey was forever feeding Zhou Heng bad ideas.
But the Black Donkey truly had confidence now. It had mastered two runes: one could aid in battle, while the other could help it flee and escape. Together with Zhou Heng's combat power and Little Flame's defenses, the trio was exceptionally formidable.
Zhou Heng thought for a moment, then said, "This competition offers plenty of contribution points. We can't miss it! Once we get back, we'll sweep through every corner and dig up every last treasure!"
"Dig, dig, dig!" The moment the Black Donkey heard the word "treasure," its eyes lit up, its greedy nature laid bare without reservation.
The group traveled through the mountains. As they gradually ventured deeper, they began to encounter Star Realm demonic beasts from time to time. Yu Sichen never intervened, merely letting Zhou Heng and the others join forces against their foes so they could forge camaraderie through battle.
But with a woman involved, how could men possibly form any camaraderie?
Geng Xinnuo was rather interested in Zhou Heng, but her greater interest lay in Little Flame. Even when she spoke to Zhou Heng, it was only because she wanted him to part with Little Flame. Though Zhou Heng repeatedly refused her, she remained undeterred.
Considering Little Flame's miraculous nature, such persistence was entirely worthwhile.
The Black Donkey, however, was far more shameless. It said outright, "Missy, don't talk about money or anything like that. As long as you marry my Kid Zhou, you can carry Little Flame off whenever you please!"
Geng Xinnuo immediately shot Zhou Heng a furious glare. Once a woman married, she was like water poured out—wouldn't Little Flame still belong to Zhou Heng in the end?
