Chapter 1010: Kiss Me Once and I'll Tell You
"Whether or not I can become famous or become a disciple of Shu Mountain, I will remember you for the rest of my life."
Song He's voice was soft, but these were her heartfelt words.
For the rest of her life, it was impossible for her to forget Xia Liu.
"Oh, I like hearing that, but you better be careful, or your future husband might find out. If your future husband has high-strength cultivation, I might get beaten up."
Xia Liu joked.
"Ha, your cultivation is unfathomable, is there anyone in the world who can beat you?"
Ever since watching Xia Liu perform by the pond at the beginning, Song He had been shocked to her core.
This time, he once again defied danger and jumped off the cliff to save her.
And he succeeded in saving her.
If he were just an ordinary martial artist, he definitely couldn't have done this.
Song He believed that this guy's cultivation was unfathomable, and in the Warrior Realm, or even the world, there were very few who could compare to him.
"You're wrong about that, there are countless extraordinary people in the world, I'm just a little transparent, how could I be so arrogant."
"Who knows..."
Song He pouted, sneaking a glance at Xia Liu.
This guy was too mysterious, she originally wanted to get something out of him.
But after one night, she ended up saying everything while he didn't reveal anything.
Or he just casually brushed her off.
How to put it, this guy was very good at talking and hiding things.
"The fish is ready, you go eat some, then we'll hit the road."
Xia Liu reminded.
"Oh, oh, thanks Brother Xia Liu."
Song He thanked and hopped over to the campfire to grab the cooked catfish.
Just like yesterday's taste, it made her almost devour it without regard for her appearance.
After she was full, Xia Liu finished securing the bamboo raft.
"Huh, are we setting off now?"
Song He asked puzzled.
"Unless you want to stay here?"
"No, no, I just suddenly remembered, how did you conjure that tent and thin blanket?"
"Want to know?"
"Yes! I really want to!"
Song He was extremely excited, if Xia Liu could teach her that magic.
In the future, she could mimic him and hide things well when traveling.
After all, on this journey, this guy easily managed on his own.
Without even a backpack, they reached the canyon's bottom and he simply conjured a tent and various tools.
So enviable.
"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."
Xia Liu, while pushing the bamboo raft away from the shore with a pole, gave a mischievous smile at Song He.
...
Song He froze on the spot.
This guy really knows how to take advantage! Just like his name! So indecent!
After a quick thought, Song He decided that if a kiss could reveal such a secret, it was worth it!
Besides, he had already seen everything of hers, what's a kiss to him?
Just as she was about to move towards Xia Liu, Xia Liu suddenly reached out his palm: "Miss, are you okay? Did you really believe it?"
"What? You tricked me again?"
"Not tricking, just teasing you. That tent was already there when we fell, probably someone entering Shu Mountain camped here."
Xia Liu shook his head with a bitter smile.
He couldn't help thinking, girls these days are so easy to fool, but unfortunately, he no longer had the heart for it.
"Oh oh, shameless."
Song He stuck out her tender tongue at Xia Liu, then turned away, refusing to face this indecent and shameless guy.
However, in her heart, she still didn't quite believe it was such a coincidence; there was a woman's scent inside the tent.
This place was surrounded by mountains and a water source, who would make the effort to come here for no reason?
So, everything Xia Liu said was a lie; he didn't want her to know the secret.
After Song He calmed down, Xia Liu began observing the surroundings.
He wasn't sure if relying on the water route could lead them to Shu Mountain.
His divine sense could only cover a distance of a thousand meters.
Which was considered very short.
As they drifted, the two of them floated for two days straight.
Because Xia Liu could feel that the river kept flowing towards the interior of the mountain range.
Shu Mountain, as the Peak of Myriad Sects, would definitely have water sources or other bodies of water within its mountain gate.
This river could very well be the waterway leading to Shu Mountain.
During the day, they drifted on the river, at night, they rested on the shore.
After three days of eating fish, Song He was becoming fearful of it.
No matter how well Xia Liu cooked it.
Too much of it makes one sick.
This situation persisted until the evening of the third day when there was finally a change.
"Brother Xia Liu, it's getting dark, we've been drifting on the river for so long, when will we reach the end?"
Song He felt like she was about to grow old; at this rate, would they be drifting for half a year or even years?
"Today we stop here, maybe tomorrow will be the end."
Xia Liu gazed in a certain direction ahead, smiling knowingly as he spoke.
"Hmm? Are we almost at Shu Mountain?"
Song He perked up instantly.
After experiencing despair, she was finally about to see hope!
"I can't be certain, but close enough, let's see what tomorrow brings."
Xia Liu chuckled and shook his head, then poled the bamboo raft to the riverbank.
"Oh oh, Brother Xia Liu, I want to eat some other wild game, can we not eat fish?"
Every time they docked, Song He felt dread, because it signaled more fish to eat.
"Sure, just walk straight from here, two rabbits crashing into a tree are three hundred meters away, bring them back and we'll have rabbit stew tonight."
...
Alright, Song He originally didn't want to go, since this guy always seemed to be joking.
But there was no obstacle ahead, it was wide open, so she decided to give it a try.
If she didn't find any tree-crashing rabbits, she'd come back and scold him!
A few minutes later, Song He returned with two rabbits in hand, looking bewildered.
The expression on her face gradually became vivid: "My God, how did you know there were tree-crashing rabbits over there?"
"Just saw it from the raft, all thanks to your luck."
Xia Liu chuckled, taking the rabbits without further explanation and started preparing them.
That night, no matter what, Song He couldn't sleep.
If what Xia Liu said was true, then tomorrow or in the next few days, she would part with him.
During her time with him, although she was always at a disadvantage or being teased, the thought of never seeing him again filled her with a strong sense of loss.
Under the moonlight, a straight figure stood on the bamboo raft, swaying with the water.
Song He didn't know what Xia Liu was thinking, but this figure stirred her intense curiosity; Xia Liu was definitely a man with a story.
...
Unknowingly, a ray of sunlight pierced through the thinning trees, casting onto her delicate cheek.
Song He opened her eyes, finding Xia Liu already waiting for her.
"Did you sleep well? Adjust yourself, today is the day of your Shu Mountain trial..."
It's also the day of my Shu Mountain trial...
