NOVEL NEXT Chapter 93: Master! I... I Like You!
Where Gu Xing's gaze fell, all he saw were the ferocious figures of the Demon Race.
Although the Demon Race's individual levels weren't high, the numbers...
Were terrifyingly large!
Gu Xing estimated.
If an ordinary Extraordinary Tier Ninth Beast Master were to survive in this scale of Demon Tide, the chances would be less than ten percent.
Let alone protecting the city behind them amid the Demon Race's assault!
However...
He is no ordinary Extraordinary Tier Ninth!
"Vera!"
The young girl's eyes narrowed, scanning the Demon Race pouring in like a tide.
Though her strength far surpasses these Low Tier demonic creatures, still...
This time, the task is to hold out for a full two hours!
This extremely tests the endurance capacity of the Guardian Beast.
Facing such a situation, among the Triple Heavenly Calamity...
"Earth Vein Suction!"
The Divine Ring behind her suddenly erupted with dazzling light, a massive earth-colored Array unfurled on the ground thousands of meters ahead of Gu Xing!
Within the Array, intangible power is frantically devouring the Demon Race stepping into it.
Their life force is forcibly drained, transformed into pure energy, continuously replenishing Vera's Spiritual Power consumption.
Three seconds...
Only three seconds!
These Low Tier demon creatures are completely drained, collapsing into shriveled husks!
Yet, even so, the Demon Tide remains relentless.
The front Demon Race just fell, those from the back fearlessly step into the Array, like endless waves...
Gu Xing frowned, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
He could sense these Demon Race weren't illusions but real living entities.
Because whenever Vera killed a Demon Race, a wisp of weak energy would be absorbed into her body.
"In the Secret Realm, where did so many Demon Race come from?"
This thought had just crossed his mind when he caught sight of Liu Li standing beside him.
The silver-haired Angel at that moment was pursing her lips, gazing complexly at the mighty Vera.
Since the master contracted this Green Tea Spirit, she found her opportunities to take action had dwindled!
As a combat-type Guardian Beast, this wasn't a good omen.
"If master contracts a new guardian beast..."
She wouldn't be reduced to guarding the Beast Taming Space, right?!
Just imagining that scene made Liu Li involuntarily clench her fists.
No way!
Absolutely not!
The master has a talent enhancement ability, which means...
In battle, she doesn't have much advantage!
If that's the case, then...
Just then, Gu Xing's voice came.
"Liu Li, come with me to the front and see where these demons are coming from!"
Liu Li's body trembled, her eyes suddenly lit up.
A chance had arrived!
This mission was to hold the city for two hours.
That means...
Vera cannot leave here!
Then she could be with the master...
Alone!
This thought made her heart race suddenly.
Since Vera joined, she had hardly had a chance to be alone with the master.
The romantic novel plot sneakily collected in the Beast Taming Space involuntarily popped into her mind, Liu Li felt her cheeks heat up, even the tips of her ears turning faintly pink.
"Vera, I'm leaving this to you."
Gu Xing gave a crisp command,
The elf maiden who was maintaining the Array jerked her head around, her emerald eyes widening instantly.
Master is taking that Angel and leaving...
Leaving her alone to work here miserably?
Vera opened her mouth, wanting to protest, but Gu Xing decisively turned his back, ignoring her.
When it came to handling the Demon Race, Vera's effect was much better than Liu Li's.
"Protect the city well."
After simply instructing, Gu Xing motioned for Liu Li to lead him to the Demon Race's source.
Upon hearing this request, Liu Li's body visibly stiffened.
She quietly gulped, cautiously wrapping her slender arms around the master's waist.
So close...
The familiar crisp scent wafted from him, Liu Li's face instantly flushed to her ears.
Seeing this scene from afar, Vera angrily gritted her teeth.
Damn Angel!
Sneaking out!
...
Liu Li flew swiftly low with Gu Xing, the closer she got to the demonic source, the higher the Demon Race's level became.
Several elite demonic creatures with bone wings already discovered them, leaping continually in attempts to attack.
"Humph!"
Liu Li sneered coldly, instantly condensing translucent Flame Shield around herself with the crimson-gold Holy Flame.
The attacks of those Demon Race couldn't even create a ripple on the shield.
Yet now, Liu Li paid no mind to these minions.
The master in her arms was right within reach, she could even feel Gu Xing's steady breath brushing against her neck.
This realization quickened her heartbeat, and the edge of her wings inadvertently ignited a faint Red Flame.
If only... a kiss...
This bold thought suddenly entered her mind, and Liu Li was instantly embarrassed, even the tips of her ears became pink.
The temperature of the Holy Flame Shield escalated with her emotions, even the surrounding air began to distort.
"Liu Li?"
Noticing the unusually high heat, Gu Xing turned around in doubt, just in time to meet the Angel's blushing cheeks and uncertain gaze.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm... I'm fine!"
Liu Li frantically averted her face, stammering her answer.
But as she met Gu Xing's concerned eyes again, years of bottled-up emotions suddenly burst.
"Master! I... I like you!"
This phrase, bursting out of her mouth, left Liu Li herself stunned.
She said it!
She really said it!
She had shared her inner thoughts.
She instinctively tightened her embrace of Gu Xing, the flames on her wings surged higher.
But excitement quickly turned into tension.
If her master rejected her...
Hearing these words, Gu Xing was visibly taken aback.
But soon, he realized...
This definitely wasn't the romantic kind of like!
His understanding of Guardian Beasts was completely based on memory.
In his predecessor's perception...
Guardian Beasts are companions, with an intense dependency on their Beast Master.
So...
Liu Li saying she likes him must only be that Guardian Beast's dependency on the master!
"Liu Li, I like you too!"
Hearing Gu Xing's response, Liu Li was instinctively happy.
But seeing the completely serene eyes of Gu Xing...
She knew her master definitely misunderstood her.
Her mood instantly fell.
"Stupid master..."
She muttered softly, her voice almost lost in the wind.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Gu Xing leaned closer with puzzlement.
"N-Nothing!"
Liu Li hurriedly pointed towards the swirling Demonic Qi ahead.
"I meant... we're almost there! Master!"
After Gu Xing turned his head, Liu Li discreetly buried her face in his shoulder, taking a deep breath.
Even if treated as mere dependency...
At least at this moment, she is the closest to the master.
