Chapter 721 - 721 Split Up
721 Split Up
Origin Territory.
In Liu Yan’s level 2 wooden house.
Liu Yan used his S-grade perception skill to sense that Murong Xue had already arrived outside the wooden house. He then collected the corpse of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower.
Usually, the corpse of a monster plant was not as messy as the fierce beast. However, due to the characteristics of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower, it was full of blood. It even had the limbs of other creatures in its stomach, which was disgusting.
After Liu Yan kept the corpse of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower, he realized that Murong Xue had yet to enter. Instead, she was hesitating outside the wooden house. It was like she was conflicting.
Liu Yan was a little surprised when he saw Murong Xue.
Murong Xue’s personality had always been carefree. It was rare to see her in such a hesitant state.
However, Murong Xue knocked on the door of Liu Yan’s wooden house.
“Come in,” Liu Yan said indifferently.
When Murong Xue entered the wooden house, she cast a strange look at Liu Yan before sitting in front of him.
Liu Yan felt a little strange.
Why did he feel that Murong Xue was a little different today?
However, Liu Yan didn’t think too much about it. He had already guessed Murong Xue’s motive.
Murong Xue was a martial arts fanatic. She was also combative. She most likely wanted to be able to participate in the next expedition. She didn’t want to stay in Origin Territory and this Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat, where she could peacefully gather resources and cultivate to increase her strength.
Liu Yan glanced at Murong Xue as he smiled. “You want to go on an adventure and fight again? Don’t worry. We’ll explore the surrounding terrain tomorrow. If it’s not too dangerous, I’ve intended to let the top experts in the territory, other than Allen Smith and Hans Wilson, participate in the exploration. Although there are certain risks, the benefits are great, and there are opportunities to improve our strengths. You have 7-star combat strength, so you’ll naturally be in this exploration. However, everything will have to wait until tomorrow’s initial exploration of the surrounding terrain and the degree of danger is determined.”
As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, he turned to look at Murong Xue.
Contrary to Liu Yan’s expectations, although Murong Xue was also happy, she didn’t seem particularly surprised.
It seemed like Murong Xue had other motives.
Murong Xue nodded. “I know that. I want to talk to you about something else. Although I like to fight and cultivate to increase my strength, do you think my mind is full of these thoughts?”
Liu Yan thought to himself, “Isn’t that so?”
“Is there anything else?” Liu Yan asked, puzzled.
Liu Yan could feel that there was something different about Murong Xue today.
Murong Xue stared at Liu Yan but didn’t say anything. She seemed to be hesitating.
Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel a little weird when he was being stared at by Murong Xue. He couldn’t understand what she was trying to do this time.
“What’s wrong? If there’s anything you want to say, just say it. With our relationship, there’s nothing you can’t say.” Liu Yan laughed.
Now that he thought about it, Liu Yan and Murong Xue’s relationship was good.
Back then, the two of them had gotten to know each other after fighting on the rest platforms on the second and third levels of the Tower.
Back then, Liu Yan and Murong Xue weren’t that close, so he did not have much impression of her.
Because of the rules, Liu Yan had no choice but to team up with Murong Xue. They formed a small team and worked together on the third level of the Tower.
On the third level of the Tower, Liu Yan and Murong Xue’s relationship was getting closer and closer.
They even had sex.
They had become closer since then.
Along the way, the relationship between the two of them had long been close.
From Liu Yan’s point of view, there was nothing Murong Xue had to hide from him. She could always talk to him.
When Murong Xue heard this, she still hesitated.
However, after hesitating for a while, he still said, “The next time you go out, can you be more careful? Do you know that this time, Allen Smith, Luo Qingcheng, and I were really worried about you? The three of us almost thought that you wouldn’t be able to come back. We know you’re strong, but the wind barrier on the sixth level of the Tower is also full of danger. Can you be more careful next time?”
After Murong Xue finished speaking, she faced Liu Yan’s confused gaze and immediately shifted her gaze away in embarrassment. She didn’t dare to meet his eyes.
It was rare for Liu Yan to see such a shy expression on Murong Xue’s face.
Liu Yan was taken aback by Murong Xue’s words.
Murong Xue said these heartwarming words.
If Allen Smith and Luo Qingcheng had said these words, Liu Yan would not be surprised.
However, hearing these words from Murong Xue’s mouth truly surprised Liu Yan.
Liu Yan couldn’t help but cast a strange look at Murong Xue as he smiled, “You came to me so late at night just to say this?”
Liu Yan had never expected that a martial arts fanatic like Murong Xue, who had always only cared about cultivation and battle, would say such words at this moment. She was worried about him.
When Murong Xue heard this, she was still embarrassed to meet Liu Yan’s gaze. However, she still replied, “Yeah, is there a problem? Do you think this is a small matter? You don’t know how worried we were. We almost entered the Hallucinatory Forest to look for you. I even planned to disobey the order and go to find you. You’ve made us worried this time.”
Liu Yan’s heart warmed when he heard this.
During this expedition to the Hallucinatory Forest, Liu Yan only wanted to explore the mysterious forest and lead the five of them to improve their strength, but he had indeed neglected this aspect.
After thinking about it carefully, this trip was indeed dangerous. It caused Murong Xue and the other two to be worried.
When he thought of how worried Murong Xue was for him, Liu Yan’s heart instantly felt warm.
Liu Yan was already satisfied to have his territory on the 6th level of the Tower and to have someone who truly cared about him.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll be careful next time and won’t make you worry again.” Liu Yan nodded.
Seeing Liu Yan’s sincere attitude, Murong Xue was finally satisfied. She nodded her head and said, “That’s more like it. Next time, you can’t take such a risk again.”
After Murong Xue spoke, she turned to leave.
Liu Yan went to hold Murong Xue back.
“What are you doing?” Murong Xue looked at Liu Yan with a confused expression.
“What else can I do…”
Liu Yan closed the door and brought Murong Xue into the house.
The next morning.
Liu Yan walked out of his wooden house with Murong Xue in high spirits.
In contrast to Liu Yan’s calm and composed demeanor, Murong Xue was a little worried. She looked left and right to make sure that there were no other team members around before she hurriedly returned to her wooden house like a thief.
It didn’t take long for the territory to become noisy.
The members had all woken up early and were getting ready.
The members knew very well that they did not have much time left.
Today was the eighth day since he came to the sixth level of the Tower.
And there were only 22 days left until the territory barrier disappeared.
