Although she was amazed by Xu Long's good looks, Xia Ling wasn't blinded by them. Instead, she demanded of Xu Long, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
During this time, she spent a lot of time with the two brothers, Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang, and gained a lot of understanding of this cruel world, which made her much more wary.
When Hellekamp was beating up Cao Xuanliang, he inevitably felt hostility towards Xu Long, a complete stranger.
"I'm a writer. When I went out to buy toilet paper, I was chased by something with green eyes that looked like an ancient soldier. In my panic, I ended up here."
Xu Long looked very depressed. "I've been wandering around here for ages, but I just can't seem to find my way out."
"A writer? Just happened to walk in?"
Hearing Xu Long's words, Xia Ling's hostility intensified.
A writer could travel through an area inhabited by countless dead to get here? Don't be ridiculous!
"Well, besides being a writer, I'm also a martial arts master. You know what a martial arts master is, right? Someone who can fly, disappear into the air, and take on a hundred enemies single-handedly..."
"Flying through the air and disappearing into the earth... aren't those Kami...?"
Xia Ling murmured to herself, looking at Xu Long as if he were a lunatic.
You can also think of me as Kami!
Xu Long spouted nonsense, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Ling actually believed it.
"So that's how it is! You're actually Kami!"
Xia Ling looked surprised, but in her heart she had already decided that this person was mentally ill.
boom!
Kung Fu Hustle they could finish speaking, Hell lashed out with its tail, sending Tang Liuyu flying.
Pebbles flew everywhere, shooting straight towards Xia Ling's forehead.
At the speed of the shattered stone, if it hit Xia Ling, she would be instantly killed.
Get out of the way!
Seeing Xia Ling standing there dumbfounded, Xu Long pulled her aside.
" Xia Ling, hurry up and gnaw on the tree bark!"
Cao Xuanliang roared, nearly getting hit by the claws of the three-headed Hell.
"Clear!"
Xia Ling didn't dare to say anything more, hugged the Spirit Locust Tree and took a big bite.
"Ah..."
That bite was quite fierce, but instead of removing the bark, it also chafed the gums.
Xia Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt extremely disheartened.
They couldn't even defeat a powerful enemy like Hellekamp, let alone a mere evil spirit.
She finally mustered up the courage to fight back, but even a tree was bullying her.
The more I thought about it, the sadder and more upset I became. Tears streamed down my face like a broken string of pearls, soaking my clothes.
"Actually... you don't need to chew on the bark... eating this branch should be fine too..."
Xu Long handed over a slender twig, his face full of heartache.
They say big breasts mean no brains, and that saying couldn't be more true for Xia Ling.
The two pounds of flesh that should have been in my brain all went to my breasts. My breasts are bigger, but my brain is gone.
"Oh, thank you!"
Seeing the branch Xu Long handed her, Xia Ling hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth.
The moment it touched the lips, the twig instantly transformed into pure energy and burrowed inside.
"This thing..."
Feeling that peculiar energy fluctuation, Xu Long's lips twitched.
It wasn't a tree branch at all, but Golden Bell transformed from the Xihe Divine Pearl.
Perhaps it was fate, but Xia Ling swallowed the Xihe Divine Pearl into her body, and Xia Ling became the new host of the Xihe Divine Pearl.
Xu Long knew this part of the plot, so he kept an eye on the Spirit Locust Tree, intending to intercept the Xihe Divine Pearl.
However, for some unknown reason, the Xihe Divine Pearl evaded Xu Long's detection and took the opportunity to enter Xia Ling's body.
" Golden Bell must have the ability to move freely within the Spirit Locust Tree, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly appeared in Xia Ling's hands."
Xu Long pondered to himself that the wonders of the Xihe Divine Pearl, as a rare treasure of this world, were somewhat beyond his imagination.
boom!
A surge of rich spiritual energy erupted within her body, instantly leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
The spiritual energy continuously cleansed Xia Ling's body, expelling impurities and enhancing her various attributes.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person who eats the branches of the Spirit Locust Tree would almost certainly die.
But with the help of the Golden Bell that Xihe Divine Pearl transformed into, there was no danger.
The spiritual energy strengthened her physical body, while her soul, through cause and effect, found her Guardian Spirit — Li Xuanyuan!
Spiritual energy surged wildly, and divine light burst forth.
A long-haired man, resembling a Kami, appeared before Xia Ling, blocking all the energy and rubble, and punching Hellekamp, who was lunging at the Spirit Locust Tree, flying away.
"Pooh..."
Hellekamp, who was both human and dog, spat out what was in his mouth, looking very surprised.
He watched helplessly as Xia Ling ate the branches of the Spirit Locust Tree, watched helplessly as Xia Ling's body was tempered by spiritual energy, and then watched helplessly as she was punched away.
Wasn't it supposed to be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death?
What's the situation now? Is the author protecting him?
Do you even understand reason?
"Who are you? That woman's Guardian Spirit?"
Hellekamp glared at Li Xuanyuan and said something utterly useless.
If it's not Xia Ling's Guardian Spirit, whose is it? Xu Long's?
Let's just say Xu Long did nothing wrong; we can't just throw mud at him like that!
"You scoundrel! State your name!"
Li Xuanyuan pointed at the inhuman and beastly Hellekamp and shouted angrily.
If he hadn't arrived in time, Xia Ling would have been beaten to death.
"Court death!"
Seeing the way Li Xuanyuan looked at him like he was an idiot, Hellekamp was furious.
boom!
Every punch landed hard; it was extremely intense.
Li Xuanyuan was already significantly stronger than Hellekamp, and given that Hellekamp had previously fought with Tang Liuyu, he was no match for Li Xuanyuan.
Just like he had brutally beaten Tang Liuyu before, Li Xuanyuan was now brutally beating Hellekamp, leaving him so badly bruised that he could only cry out in despair, his eyes swollen to the point of being almost as big as Li Ronghao's.
While the fighting raged on the other side, Cao Xuanliang was finally able to catch his breath.
After glancing at Xia Ling, whose eyes were shining and who was waving her fists and cheering, Cao Xuanliang approached Xu Long.
Although Xu Long helped Xia Ling, he still planned to inquire about her background.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
Cao Xuanliang asked.
Cao Xuanliang repeated what he had told Xia Ling before. His face showed doubt, but he was more or less convinced.
His expression was helpless, his eyes melancholy, yet there was also a hint of excitement, much like the reaction of an ordinary person who suddenly discovers a new world.
"You're a martial arts master? How skilled are you?"
Cao Xuanliang pointed at Hellekamp was a hybrid of man and dog, and asked, "Can you beat him?"
"I've never fought one, but I should be able to survive."
Xu Long spoke very subtly; if he had said he could kill Hellekamp in one move, Cao Xuanliang would probably have run away immediately.
"Being able to save your life is already amazing!"
Cao Xuanliang nodded, rubbed the swollen areas on his body, and sighed helplessly.
His strength is still too weak. If it were Cao Yanbing instead, Hellekamp would probably have been killed by now.
