Chapter 92: Daddy Huck
Chapter 92: Daddy Huck
Early the next morning.
Liu Xi's consciousness returned from the golden scroll.
Instantly, he felt an intense hunger coming from his abdomen, and then he felt as if the back of his head was hit by a brick. His mind was dizzy, and from time to time he felt a pain as if he was pricked by a needle.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped……
His eyes were closed, his head was lowered, and he kept patting the back of his neck with his hands.
It took me a while to recover from this state.
But the discomfort in the head and abdomen still hasn't completely gone away.
Gradually, he began to realize that his consciousness had stayed in the virtual space within the scroll for too long, causing excessive mental consumption at the soul level, coupled with normal hunger in the body, which led to his current extremely uncomfortable state.
He explained why he was practicing in that illusory space, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and he regained consciousness. It turned out that the spiritual power of his soul was not enough to support him to stay there any longer.
To be honest, his mind was confused now, and he was not sure how long he had stayed in there or how long he had been practicing fighting skills.
But looking at the purple air coming from the east outside the window and the gray sky, it should be at least the early morning of the next day.
Or maybe the third or fourth day.
With a quick glance, he saw a piece of food on the low table in front of the couch. He felt hungry and he didn't care when the food came from or whether it was cold or hot. He just wolfed it down.
Although he knew that eating like this was not good for his health after being hungry for a long time, he really couldn't resist the feeling of emptiness and churning in his stomach.
Moreover, considering the current strength of his internal organs, this shouldn't be a big deal, so he didn't think much about it anyway.
He ate up all the food that Xiao Yixian had prepared for him yesterday, but he was still not satisfied. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, pushed the door open and walked out, only to see Xiao Yixian nowhere to be seen inside or outside the house.
For some reason, my heart skipped a beat.
He widened his eyes and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
I thought, could it be that he just left without saying goodbye?
With an indeterminate sigh, he walked out of the hut and came to the side of the house. He paused and his expression suddenly froze. Mountains of golden and pleasing things came into his sight.
"This……"
Liu Xi opened his mouth slightly and stood there for a long time.
Until a familiar eagle cry sounded in the sky above the valley.
A huge blue eagle descended, and on its back, a graceful figure in a plain skirt was waving at him.
The Little Medical Fairy jumped off the eagle's back, gave Liu Xi, who was still standing there stupidly, a look and said:
"Brother, why don't you come and help?"
As she spoke, she put one hand on her waist in annoyance and pointed at several wooden boxes of different sizes on the eagle's back with the other.
As if it was an illusion, Liu Xi felt that the little medical fairy today was not as depressed as yesterday?
Without thinking too much, he smiled at her, touched the tip of his nose, and then stepped forward to help.
-
In the afternoon, the fiery red sun is at the zenith.
Clear skies.
The original plan to go to the Xiao family today will naturally not change.
Liu Xi took a break for the whole morning and finally regained some energy. At least the pain in his head didn't feel like it was being pricked by needles anymore.
After a brief farewell to the Little Medical Fairy, Liu Xi let Xiao Lan take a step back and arrived at the outskirts of Wutan City.
The flying fighting skills are too shocking. Before he has the corresponding strength, he doesn’t want to expose them too early. It’s also good to treat them as a trump card in the early stage.
Besides, there are comfortable flying mounts to ride, so why bother yourself?
You know, at this stage, maintaining flying fighting skills consumes a lot of fighting spirit in the body.
chirp~
Looking at the giant blue eagle circling and soaring into the sky, Liu Xi waved at it, and then quickly flew down from the hillside of this unknown mountain.
Below is a gravel road leading directly to Wutan City.
A few moments.
He waited for a while under the shade of a tree by the roadside and stopped a passing carriage.
It was pulled by two tall horses that contained some magical beast blood. There was a lot of unused space inside the carriage, which looked pretty good.
Of course, the most important thing is that he waited for a long time but never saw an empty carriage going to Wutan City. There were only carriages going in that direction.
The man driving the carriage was an old man in his fifties. He looked a bit shrewd, but very strong. He should not be an ordinary person. He must have practiced for a period of time when he was young, but he did not reach the level of a fighter.
"Hey, little brother, today I'm going to the city to see my granddaughter. I'm in a good mood. Since it's on my way, I won't charge you any fees." The old man in good health said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Xi, who had just entered the carriage and was about to ask about the price to Wutan City, was speechless for a moment. He did not expect that he would have such luck in popularity.
"Thank you, old man." Liu Xi clasped his fists slightly and sat down in the car.
Wheel and wheel...
Wheel and wheel...
The wheels rolled and the carriage began to move forward. On the way, the old man chatted with Liu Xi in a casual manner. Liu Xi was not a cold person, so the two of them started chatting very easily.
The topics we talked about were very diverse, and they were all the same old things, but because everyone's situation was different, the answers we got were naturally different.
The carriage was moving neither fast nor slow. Before long, Liu Xi saw the outline of Wutan City through the window.
"Dad Hake, your granddaughter should be very young. She lives alone in Wutan City and has no relatives. Can you be at ease with her?" After they became familiar with each other, Liu Xi asked casually.
"Haha, she's eighteen this year. At this age, a child from a family like ours is not young anymore. Plus, she's an ambitious child and she grew up early. Actually, this has something to do with the fact that her parents died early...
She has some talent for cultivation. Two years ago, she suddenly told me that she wanted to go to Canaan College, learn something, and come back to let me live a good life, at least not as busy as I am now. Last year, she said that she didn’t want to burden me, so she volunteered to go to the city and found a job. Luckily, the Miter Auction House happened to be recruiting employees, so she became a maid to supplement the family income..." Father Hake's tone was full of relief.
"Mitel Auction House? That's really good. Although being a maid is a bit tiring, the benefits and remuneration are adequate. Moreover, as an employee of Mitel Auction House, your personal safety is also guaranteed. Ordinary people in Wutan City don't dare to provoke you." Liu Xi was a little surprised. After he finished speaking, he paused and then said:
"Dad Hake, your granddaughter is eighteen this year. Canaan College is recruiting students this year, and it will be soon. I heard that the admission requirement of Canaan College is to reach the eighth level of fighting spirit before the age of eighteen. I wonder what level your granddaughter has reached now?"
He reminded kindly.
"Well... I'm not sure either. I haven't visited her for a while..."
Hearing this, Father Huck's voice was a little hesitant.
It seemed that he also knew how difficult it was for ordinary people like them to reach the eighth level of fighting spirit before the age of eighteen.
Not to mention a family like theirs, even among the three major families in Wutan City, only a few can meet the requirements and enter Canaan College every year.
