Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7688

Chapter 7603: A Close Relationship

After the storm subsided, Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling leaned against each other.

Inside the Heavenly Mandate Palace, no one would disturb them; they could fully enjoy their tender moment.

However, at this moment, Li Tianming seemed lost in thought, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

“Brother, what are you thinking about?” Jiang Feiling looked up at Li Tianming’s profile, asking curiously.

Li Tianming smiled slightly and said slowly, “Isn’t our journey into the Upside-Down Tower similar to what we did together on the Yanhuang Continent? Back then, you were always by my side. If you couldn’t come with me directly, you would ‘possess’ me and adventure together.”

“Similar, but not entirely the same,” Jiang Feiling smiled sweetly and said slowly, “Back then, I didn’t have much power. I was powerless in many situations and could only provide you with limited boosts. I wished I had more power back then so I could truly stand by your side, even stand in front of you to shield you from the storms. And now, perhaps I have that ability.”

“Silly Feiling, I’m already content with you being by my side,” Li Tianming said with a smile and a shake of his head.

“No way! My man, I will protect him!” Jiang Feiling said domineeringly, her eyes sparkling.

“We’ll face the future together. I’ll catch up with you soon, until we both reach higher places,” Li Tianming said, his eyes burning with determination.

Looking into Jiang Feiling’s golden eyes, Li Tianming’s emotions surged, and his determination to become stronger became even stronger.

In the future, they will face even more challenges. Li Tianming cannot leave everything to those around him; instead, they must progress and strive together!

Currently, Li Tianming is only temporarily lagging behind Jiang Feiling, Zi Zhen, and other reborn individuals with special backgrounds in terms of cultivation level.

Given enough time to grow, with Li Tianming’s talent for cultivation, he will one day be on par with them, and even protect all those around him!

However, amidst this atmosphere, a voice rang out, somewhat out of place.

“People, take me to eat the Divine Treasure Stone, now!” Xiao Jiu’s enormous black mist body surged wildly within its companion space.

Fortunately, the companion space was large enough; otherwise, it would likely have encroached on the space of other companion beasts.

Xiao Jiu seemed incredibly urgent.

“Are you sure you want it now?” Li Tianming asked inwardly.

Xiao Jiu paused for a moment, then immediately said, “That’s right, let’s go now!”

Li Tianming, however, seemed somewhat troubled and said, “But you know we still have to go to the capital in a month to check on Xiao Shi. You don’t want to stop ‘feeding’ after only one month, do you?”

“A month? For that guy?” Xiao Jiu’s conjured eyes widened.

“Yes, you, as the older brother, should be more magnanimous. It hasn’t even been born yet. Let it be. You all need to get along well in the future,” Li Tianming said with a smile. “Who’s the older

brother! Get lost! I am who I am, I have no brothers or sisters, and besides, I’m not with you!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu’s body suddenly sprang apart, as if its fur had been bristled with excitement.

“So, do you want to go now, or wait a month and see how Xiao Shi is doing?” Li Tianming asked again, but also carefully instructed, “Don’t sneak off. It’s very dangerous without me by your side. You saw Prince Yuan and Emperor Qianfeng, right? Are you confident you can fight them now?”

Xiao Jiu’s huge, dark energy-formed black mist-like body leaped and jumped in the companion space, like an extremely violent dark cloud.

It seemed incredibly agitated, making a difficult decision.

Finally, it spoke in a muffled voice, “Then finish quickly, I want to eat the Divine Treasure Stone as soon as possible!”

“I promise you.” Li Tianming nodded, then said patiently, “Xiao Jiu, actually, my desire to make you stronger and to feed you is no less than yours.”

“Nonsense! Who cares about you!” Xiao Jiu said impatiently.

After speaking, it completely fell silent in the companion space, without making a sound, and its huge body slowly shrank.

Faintly, a shadowy figure seemed to be curled up and dozing…

A month isn’t a long time, and even if one devotes oneself to cultivation, there’s not much to gain.

Therefore, Li Tianming decided to take Jiang Feiling with him to stroll around the Beacon Ruins one more time.

Soon, the two left the Myriad Sects Battle Hall and appeared on the streets of the Beacon Ruins.

The bustling Beacon Ruins was crowded with people; from the perspective of the Guanzizai Realm, it felt more like a place of everyday life.

Although the scenery in the Burning Spirit Realm was beautiful, it lacked the diverse crowds of people, making the Beacon Ruins quite worthwhile to visit.

However, Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling had only been strolling around the Beacon Ruins for a short time when they attracted a great deal of attention.

His popularity was now far higher than he had imagined, and many people exclaimed upon seeing him.

“It’s Li Tianming, that super genius from the outer regions who surpasses those from the inner regions!”

A child stared wide-eyed, pointing at Li Tianming with excitement.

“I didn’t even see him in the images; he’s even more handsome in person.”

“Although he has white hair, his face looks so young. He’s so young, yet he’s already accomplished such a feat; it’s truly incredible…”

Throughout the entire Fengxu, from shopkeepers to children playing on the street, and even many young people, everyone was incredibly curious about Li Tianming.

Countless gazes were filled with admiration and scrutiny, all fixed on Li Tianming.

Of course, news of Li Tianming’s appearance in Fengxu spread instantly, attracting even more people.

Jiang Feiling secretly chuckled, “Brother, you’re a big celebrity now!”

“Don’t gloat, Ling’er; we’re almost surrounded.” Li Tianming said helplessly, watching the crowd surge towards them like a tide.

Gradually, the space they could move in was squeezed less and less.

Everyone’s attention was initially focused on Li Tianming.

However, after the space around Li Tianming was squeezed out, everyone noticed Jiang Feiling, who was getting closer and closer to him.

“This woman… is so beautiful!” Some people were almost stunned.

Others hesitated, guessing, “She seems to be walking with Li Tianming, and the two are so i*imate, their relationship must be quite close!”

“How is that possible? Isn’t Li Tianming close to the little princess? She even invited him to her birthday banquet, what’s going on?”

“The little princess has been so good to him, and he’s still so ungrateful, showing affection to another woman in public, what kind of behavior is this!” Some people seemed indignant.

“Don’t worry about it, this isn’t our business, be careful not to say anything that might cause trouble.” Someone else warned seriously.

However, regardless, the news of Li Tianming’s close association with a mysterious blonde woman had already spread within a small circle of Fengxu.

Li Tianming was helpless; the people around him meant no harm, but their large gathering was hindering his and Jiang Feiling’s plans, making it almost impossible for them to move.

Therefore, their purpose in visiting Fengxu was ruined, and they completely lost interest.
