Why Do You Like Me?

According to the information on the sign, the headband in front of us is made from the horn of a rhinoceros made of Cold Jade Rhinoceros. Wearing it can enhance the user's Spiritual Power control to a certain extent.

The so-called Cold Jade Rhinoceros is a rare Soul Beast born in the Far North. It is a powerful Soul Beast with dual attributes of ice and spirit.

The horn of the Cold Jade Rhinoceros is the hardest part of its body, and also its strongest attack weapon.

For a time, the fundamental reason why humans hunted the Cold Jade Rhinoceros clan was because of its single horn.

This unicorn has a special calming effect, which can soothe a person's mood and also relieve the Spiritual Power of a person or beast.

Therefore, as long as one carries the horn of the Cold Jade Rhinoceros, one no longer needs to worry about going astray during cultivation.

The calming effect of the Cold Jade Rhinoceros's horn is actually to harmonize the energy circulation within a person's body. As long as the situation is not too serious and the energy of the horn is not exhausted, the person will never suffer from qi deviation.

The horn of the Cold Jade Rhinoceros can also be used as a material for making Soul Tool, and Soul Tool using this horn must be at least level seven.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this headband was originally a failed attempt by a Soul Engineer to create a Spirit-type Soul Tool.

Although this headband has a certain mental enhancement effect, it can only give a Soul King about 10% of the enhancement.

Therefore, the Soul Engineer treated it as a failed product and then sold it as an ornament, which can be considered a kind of waste utilization.

However, Xu Xingyu valued this headband not for its effect of amplifying Spiritual Power, but for another purpose.

After all, the material of this headband is the horn of Cold Jade Rhinoceros, so theoretically this headband should also have the effect of preventing demonic possession, at most it may be somewhat weakened.

However, don't forget that Jiang Nannan has the Dream Tapir Head Soul Bone, whose ability is the Illusory Dream Space. Using it not only consumes a lot of Spiritual Power but also requires extremely strong mental control.

This Soul Skill is an excellent cheat Divine Artifact for assisting in mental cultivation, but it also has its drawbacks.

If one's self-control is inadequate, it is easy to go astray and be trapped in an illusion until death.

However, aside from its ability to enhance control, let's just look at its calming effect with this headband.

After seeing the price of the headband Xu Xingyu immediately took out her gold card and handed it to the salesperson, asking to buy the headband.

In the end, Xu Xingyu spent 15,000 gold coins to successfully buy the headband made of Cold Jade Rhinoceros horn.

Although the headband's price exceeds what one would expect, it's still acceptable considering it's a Soul Tool.

After buying the headband, Xu Xingyu immediately put it on Jiang Nannan herself.

After putting it on, Jiang Nannan asked shyly, "Does it look good?"

Xu Xingyu looked at Jiang Nannan wearing the headband and didn't say anything sweet. All he could do was give her a thumbs up and say, "It suits you very well."

Although the headband itself is somewhat plain in appearance because the creator did not pay much attention to aesthetics when making it.

Unlike other headbands, it doesn't have any incomparable gemstones or unique patterns; it's just a simple ice blue.

But sometimes, simplicity is enough.

The headband looked perfectly suited to Jiang Nannan, like adding the final strokes to an unfinished painting to transform it into a masterpiece.

If I had to explain it in words, then this is the beauty that belongs only to the ordinary.

Seeing Xu Xingyu's slightly dazed expression, Jiang Nannan knew the answer and smiled, saying, "Xingyu, could you come with me somewhere?"

After realizing what was happening, Xu Xingyu immediately said in a gentlemanly manner, "It's my honor to have you here, beautiful lady."

After saying that, the two left Treasure Gathering Pavilion hand in hand and headed to their next destination.

As she walked, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but start reminiscing about how she met Jiang Nannan until now.

In the process, he realized how much he had neglected the girl in front of him in the past.

In the past, because he was always accompanied by Gu Yuena and others, although he communicated with Jiang Nannan, it was usually limited to work-related matters.

Since that incident where she stood up for her mother, the two have rarely met in private.

Therefore, in Xu Xingyu's heart, she only regarded Jiang Nannan as a reliable employee and a friend she could make.

This is why he was somewhat confused after realizing Jiang Nannan's feelings for him.

He considers himself a scumbag; although he hasn't been involved with many women, he has still ended up dating three women.

In theory, someone like that should be rejected by other women.

However, contrary to her usual behavior, Jiang Nannan did not do that. Instead, she stayed by Xu Xingyu's side and followed her closely.

Xu Xingyu could clearly understand why every girl would choose him as her partner. Gu Yuena's reason was not only because he was the reincarnation of the Dragon God God's son, but also because he gave the Soul Beast Clan a glimmer of hope for the future.

Xu Yanxue and Tang San were searching for the Ice God Ruins in the Ice God Rift when they were ambushed by Tang San. In the end, the two of them risked their lives to fight against Tang San and survived.

Wang Dong'er's initial engagement to Tang San was due to Tang San's scheme against her. However, subsequent events eased the tension between them, leading to their current close relationship.

However, Xu Xingyu couldn't think of any reason why Jiang Nannan would like her.

The only thing I could think of was that he had once treated Jiang Nannan's mother.

But can that really be considered pure love? Isn't it just pure gratitude?

You could say Xu Xingyu is a bit old-fashioned when it comes to relationships, but personally, he doesn't want someone to date him out of a sense of gratitude.

Because it wasn't that I was in a relationship out of my own will, but rather that I wanted to repay the other person, so I gave them my most precious thing.

This feeling is just like that kind of transaction.

This is why Xu Xingyu wanted to reciprocate Jiang Nannan's feelings for her, but hesitated to do so.

He knew Jiang Nannan could accept that he had been with multiple girls, but he didn't know where Jiang Nannan's feelings for him originated.

That's why Xu Xingyu agreed to the date with Jiang Nannan. He wanted to take this opportunity to understand Jiang Nannan's thoughts and why she liked him.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyu realized that the two of them had arrived at their destination, a crystal-clear blue lake illuminated by the moonlight.

That was the place where Xu Xingyu would give Wang Dong'er special training every morning, and also the place where he was attacked by Ma Xiaotao before. It was the dividing line between the Inner Court and Outer Court of the Shrek Academy: Sea God Lake.
