Inside the Cave Heaven Gourd,with the Heaven Chip planning the route, Xia Li felt safe enough to heal boldly.He even dared enter a state of deep sleep and get so real rest.But after waking...he saw Qiu Fu sprawled on the grass, her body twisting darkly, her brow knotted, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably, goosebumps risen all over her skin."Yo. Comprehending the Dao? How do you feel now?"Xia Li asked for Qiu Fu's thoughts after reading it.By now, Qiu Fu completely understood how foolish her earlier behavior had been.But even so, did Xia Li really have to shovel an entire deluxe bucket of literary sewage straight into her mouth?That felt a little excessive."The flavor was overpowering. No further comnt needed. It was way too strong!""Good. Strong is exactly what it should be. Think carefully about your previous behavior and thoughts, and you'll understand what I was feeling back then.""Stop talking, stop talking, ahhhhhhh!"Qiu Fu covered her eyes with her hands, face flushed red, and let out a twisted cry.Her embarrassnt had fully flared up.Maybe this really was a case of the one inside the situation being blind while the outside observer saw clearly.When she had been trapped in that state of mind, she truly had been moved by herself.She had even found herself eagerly hoping Xia Li would face so great danger,just so she could demonstrate the depth of her devotion.She had use.She had value.She had to give more of herself for Xia Li,only then would she be worthy of all he had done.But what Xia Li had shown her had completely slaughtered all those fantasies,leaving only unspeakable sha and embarrassnt behind."Heh. That's what you get for being impatient and for moving yourself with your own lodrama. Punishnt: read it ten more tis and recite it aloud.""You may as well just hand over to the Demon-Hunting Army!"With a crack, Qiu Fu threw the jade slip to the ground and stomped it to pieces.At this point, she was completely convinced.Where on earth had Xia Li even found sothing like this?Or was it really true that the human race's worldly scholars enjoyed writing such things?"As long as you've understood, that's enough. The Dao is long and blocked at every turn. You inherit the blood of the White Tiger covert branch. One day you'll have to return to demonkind and seize White Tiger authority. In truth, in this battle, your having no use was the greatest use of all. Do you understand?"Qiu Fu had not exposed her true strength,and with Xia Li drawing all eyes to himself, her situation had effectively passed.He had already bought her ti and opportunity.What remained depended on when she herself could rise."Having no use was the greatest use of all... I think I understand."Qiu Fu nodded.At this mont she also realized that her earlier state of mind had itself been a tribulation.Xia Li had helped her cross it.How could she possibly co through without being shaken by the aftershocks?If it had been anyone else, they likely would not have had a thod as simple, direct, and effective as Xia Li's.Qiu Fu surely would have made a mistake."Good.""So how exactly do you see in your heart?"Qiu Fu still wanted to know that.She was certain that she held intense affection toward Xia Li,and even the impulse to bind herself to him."Are you only happy if everything gets elevated to the level of romance?""Not exactly. I just want to know whether this has any result at all. I don't force things that have no result. But if there is one, then of course I'll fight for it with everything I have.""Why force a result? If you don't mind whatever result eventually cos, then I won't mind either."Xia Li gave his answer.At this point, he had beco much bolder.When it ca to feelings, he was becoming more and more inclined to follow them naturally.He no longer kept asking what things would beco in the end.If in this mont it ca naturally, then why concern himself with whether it could later beco a full and complete story?Even if all that remained in the end were only half a ruined manuscript,it would still be a chapter in his history worth rembering and worth looking back on.Perhaps this was what a strong heart ant:not clinging to so future that had not yet arrived,but taking the present seriously.Following the movent of the heart and letting things unfold as they would.If one liked soone, then what was there not to allow?

"You said that!"Qiu Fu nodded in delight.This was an answer too.What kind of future might open from here still could not be said.But at the very least, it gave her direction in the present.Ti passed...Three days later, without their even noticing it, Xia Li climbed out of the repair pod after finishing his treatnt.He imdiately pulled out spirit stones and all kinds of spirit treasures from his phase ring and began refining them,preparing to reignite the stellar golden core once again.To restart stellar fusion once required roughly two hundred thousand spirit stones' worth of resources.Overheat Mode truly consud both money and flesh,but as a trump card, it was worth it."Qiu Fu, speaking of which, when I had you gather the spoils before, what exactly did you find?""They're here."Qiu Fu imdiately took out two sharp feathers of different colors and a green-white demon core.One feather was gray-white.The other was deep black.Worth noting was that hanging from the gray-white feather was a blood-red storage ring."This? The aura on it belongs to Mo Ye. Why is Mo Ye's storage ring on the xiao demon?"Xia Li had originally assud that once he annihilated Mo Ye with the helium flash, Mo Ye's storage ring would also be destroyed, and the items inside would scatter into the void once they lost the ring's stabilizing effect.He had not expected Mo Ye's storage ring to remain perfectly intact."Mo Ye may have guessed he wouldn't survive. So he handed the storage ring to the xiao demon, who still had the best chance of escaping alive."Qiu Fu made her guess.The xiao demon was a sky demon who could control gale-force qi.If the xiao demon had truly flown straight into the highest heavens and made up his mind to flee, Xia Li really would not have been able to stop him."See that, Qiu Fu? That's the price of caring too much about feelings. In the end, all it does is benefit your enemy."Xia Li said so,but Qiu Fu only kept sighing and shaking her head.She still hated the xiao demon,yet at the very end she could not help feeling the slightest trace of respect for his final choice.Without a true confidant, living alone would have beco aningless.In that final instant, enemy and friend alike had ceased to matter."Don't joke about sothing like that!"Qiu Fu shot Xia Li a glare."The gray feather is the xiao demon's storage vessel. We demons often refine a part of our own bodies into storage tools. The black feather is the xiao demon's natal treasure. It's his reverse feather, and not only can it summon gale-force qi, it's also an extrely valuable treasure.""As for the inner core, I don't need to explain that. Your human race has a hundred different ways to make use of demon cores."Qiu Fu handed over all the spoils.She kept not a single one for herself,since in her own eyes she had contributed nothing."This black feather and the inner core the xiao demon left behind are things I can actually use."The xiao demon had shattered Xia Li's previous weapon.The black feather and inner core were just right to forge a new one,a weapon capable of wielding gale-force qi.It would undoubtedly beco a trendous aid."Xiao demon, though you are dead and were my mortal enemy, even after death you can still call gale-force qi to slaughter the vermin you once intended to slaughter. In that sense, your death was not without purpose."Xia Li said this with the black feather in his left hand and the demon core in his right.So gale-force qi stirred faintly across the black feather,and inside the core, storms gathered.It seed that the xiao demon's lingering remnant did not resist being used by Xia Li.After that, Xia Li picked up Mo Ye's storage ring.Once the Heaven Chip cracked it open, he saw clearly everything inside.It was a dazzling collection, practically a treasure vault.Spirit stones were piled into little hills.Even Xia Li could not stop himself from grinning.Now he no longer had to worry about lacking spirit stones for reigniting fusion.As for the other items, they would still need to be inventoried slowly.Xia Li had a feeling.Soone as cautious as Mo Ye, when choosing to hand his storage ring to the xiao demon before the final battle, had likely had more than one reason.And the xiao demon, in choosing to die for his friend rather than flee, likely felt the most crucial thing was that certain key items were now in Xia Li's hands.
