After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 338 Unpaid Debts

"Guanbi, you have no idea how much I've been thinking about your cooking since I was in the Blood Central Realm." Under the Yuanlu Tree, Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the dishes laid out on the small table.

"Really?" Guan Bi rested her chin on her hands and looked at Shen Xu with a light smile, as if she couldn't get enough of looking at him.

At the same time, her heart was not as calm as it appeared. A place named with the word "boundary" was definitely not an ordinary secret realm; it was more like a small world.

This explains Li Xiaoyi's caution; the Four Directions Sword Alliance is likely to fall into turmoil.

"This guy really has no guard up at all, but that also shows he trusts me a lot." Thinking of this, Guan Bi's smile became even brighter.

"By the way, where are the others? I haven't seen them." Shen Xu really wanted to know what had happened while he was unconscious.

“Miss and Miss Xiao Yi went to the council to report your trip. Ye Zhi has been cultivating at Heart Lake recently and doesn’t come here often. Now it’s just the two of us in Qingling Creek, so you can do whatever you want!” Guan Bi said shyly.

"Tch! You're not as appealing to me as these dishes," Shen Xu replied, feigning disdain.

He knew this girl was just teasing him; he hadn't forgotten that slap yet!

"You..." Guan Bi was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Haha, just kidding. Guanbi, how could someone as beautiful as you not be attractive!"

He was in a good mood after safely returning to the True Origin Continent from the Blood Central Realm.

"Humph!"

"By the way, has anything happened during this time?" Shen Xu asked while eating.

"Nothing major has happened. Most of the newly recruited disciples have adapted to life in the Sword Alliance, and quite a few have come to see you."

"Looking for me? Who are they?" Shen Xu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course it's someone from your Aoki Society. Qingyun is very worried about you. You are truly guilty of a heinous crime!" Guan Bi's tone was very dissatisfied.

"Don't make wild guesses. Qingyun only sees me as her brother."

"But it doesn't seem like it to me. Besides, he's already a member of the Four Directions Council. You're not qualified to be his older brother anymore!"

"You're right. I actually hope she doesn't come looking for me," Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

“There’s another person named Zuo Chen who came to see you, saying he has something to discuss with you.”

"Zuo Chen?"

Shen Xu guessed that Zuo Chen probably needed his help with something again, but given his current state, he probably couldn't offer much assistance.

Although a cyan aura was emanating from the void in his soul to strengthen it, this was a gradual process, and it would probably take a long time for him to regain his peak strength.

But since he had promised Zuo Chen that he would do his best to help him complete the plan, he would not easily break his promise.

"There's another important matter. Didn't you promise City Lord Baiyu that you would save his daughter? Now her condition has worsened, but when we returned to the Sword Alliance, Qiling Baihe helped him buy some time. You need to hurry."

Upon hearing Guan Bi's words, Shen Xu frowned. This matter was indeed very important; the daughter of the City Lord of Baiyu was related to the inheritance of a Heavenly Demon Saint.

If he wants to defeat Su Jing in the Ningzhou Great Battle, he must go to the Feather Clan Temple; otherwise, how can he defeat Su Jing, who has been to the Human Clan Temple?

But the same questions remain: Is his current condition suitable for going to the Feather Clan Temple? What dangers are there at the Feather Clan Temple? What form will the inheritance take? How much time can the Praying White Crane actually buy?

If possible, he still wants to break through to the Qi Sea Realm before going to the Feather Clan Holy Temple. He is now only one step away from the late stage of Qi Condensation. As long as he cultivates peacefully in the Ancient Wood Forest for a period of time, breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm will be a natural thing.

However, the most important thing now is to ask the Four Directions Sword Alliance for his reward, and then return to the Green Bamboo Mountains to give the Longevity Pill to Uncle Wang.

It seems that more than a year has passed since he left the Green Bamboo Mountains last May.

Time flies, and he must hurry to prepare for his escape route.

"Shen Xu, what's wrong?" Guan Bi asked with some concern when she saw that Shen Xu hadn't responded for a long time.

"It's nothing, I was just lost in thought about some things."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Tell me, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Did you really encounter spatial turbulence in Shuanghe Village at that time?

"That's right. I wanted to warn you not to follow me, but before I could finish speaking, I was swept away by a spatial turbulence. Fortunately, Xiao Yi pushed you all back."

"Without Xiao Yi, even if you were lucky enough to arrive in the Blood Central Realm like us, the Blood Central Realm is just as fraught with danger. The teleportation arrays on your bodies are unusable, making you highly vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances."

"I see. Did anything happen between you and Miss Xiao Yi in the secret realm?" Guan Bi asked, sounding slightly nervous.

"Haha, how could that be? What are you thinking! She almost chopped me up!" Shen Xu couldn't help but laugh.

Upon hearing this, Guan Bi was overjoyed, but at the same time, doubts arose in her mind. If nothing had happened between Li Xiaoyi and Shen Xu, why was Li Xiaoyi suddenly so intimate with Shen Xu?

"Really? Nothing really happened?" Guan Bi asked again, getting closer and closer to Shen Xu.

"Nothing should have happened, right?" For some reason, Shen Xu felt a little guilty as he watched Guan Bi's beautiful face getting closer and closer.

But apart from giving Li Xiaoyi a magical treasure, nothing else actually happened between them.

Seeing Shen Xu's hesitation, Guan Bi's heart sank. "What if you tell the truth? I can't do anything to you."

"I really didn't have anything happen between me and Xiao Yi, believe it or not!" He knew that for someone who had already made up their mind, no matter how he explained, it would be futile.

"That's good!" Guan Bi couldn't help but smile, then got up and quietly walked behind him.

Her slender fingers gently caressed his neck as she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "So, do you want to do something with me?"

Shen Xu's heart immediately began to pound. His mind went completely blank, and he was unable to think of what he should do.

He swallowed hard, put down his chopsticks somewhat awkwardly, and then weakly replied, "I'm probably full."

"Turn around and look at me." Just then, Guan Bi's soft and charming voice rang in his ears again, making him waver.

Shen Xu immediately stood up and said somewhat flusteredly, "I'm really full, I'll go back first." Then he fled this terrible place without looking back.

Guan Bi watched Shen Xu's retreating figure, then reached out her slender fingers to touch her bright red lips. "He owes money and doesn't pay it back. What a bad man!"
