"Fellow Daoist, you are truly amusing!" Dragon Vein Xiao Hua said with a smile. "That place is clearly some secret treasure, perhaps even concealing the secrets of this continent. Yet instead of investigating it yourself, you remain here to protect two Stone Giants you have never met! I truly cannot comprehend what you are doing!"
Phoenix Body Xiao Hua also asked in confusion, "Even if you wished to protect two stones that are not even people, you only needed to throw that little golden-armored fellow far away. Why did you insist on staying here?"
Xiao Hua's phoenix eyes had already been curved, and now they bent like Crescent Moons as he smiled. "Though you have become independent beings, you still do not possess the emotions of true cultivators. This Stone Giant's love for his child is truly moving. If I do not send these two Stone Giants safely home, I will never be at ease! And, to be honest with you two, I have a feeling that the cause and effect upon these two Stone Giants... is more important than the secret treasure in the distance!"
Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua naturally did not possess Xiao Hua's Hand of Cause and Effect. They merely smiled at one another, each using their divine abilities to fly toward where the rosy light had vanished. Xiao Hua, meanwhile, remained standing in midair, quietly waiting.
Only after the time it took to eat a meal did that aura which suppressed everything gradually fade away. The little golden-armored fellow was the first to climb up from the ground. But when he looked at the two Stone Giants sprawled on the ground, how could he still have any thought of attacking? He shrank his neck, glanced about, then turned and scampered away.
