C22 I Still Want More
"Grandpa Hong." Dongfang Jing's eyes were filled with tears. She whimpered. Elder Hong walked forward and held Dongfang Jing in his arms. He said, "Miss, I watched you grow up with my own eyes. I have no children under my knees. I see you as my own granddaughter. Miss won't blame me, right?"
Dongfang Jing hurriedly said," How can that be? Grandpa Hong is someone I respect very much. Jing'er can only wish for it. It will be up to you, this good grandfather. "
Now, Elder Hong's heart was filled with emotions. When Dongfang Jing's mood calmed down, Elder Hong pushed Dongfang Jing away and said," Alright. Jing'er, look at you now. You look like a little cat."
Elder Hong saw that Dongfang Jing had gotten rid of her emotions just now. He also heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Jing Er, let's go too. There are still a lot of things to do now. "
Dongfang Jing followed Elder Hong out of the cave. Now, there were still the remaining elites of the Dongfang Family. Digging pits, preparing to bury dead companions. The atmosphere was depressing. Elder Hong and Dongfang Jing's eyes revealed traces of sadness. These were the elites of the family. They had died for the Devil Crystal of the Three-eyed Fire Lion. They were all good men. No wonder they were good men of the Dongfang Family.
Dongfang Jing couldn't help but say, Fortunately, he was there this time." Elder Hong nodded and said in his heart, "That's right. It can be considered a miracle to be able to survive now.
It was really comfortable. Ling Tian woke up from his cultivation and stretched his body, saying, "So comfortable."
Elder Hong, who was sitting not too far away, smiled and said, "Little brother, you slept for quite some time. I think you're hungry too. Come and eat something." Ling Tian heard the sound and looked over, only to see Elder Hong and Dongfang Jing sitting by the side of the fire. They were roasting meat in their hands.
He couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. With Ling Tian's current cultivation level, it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't eat or drink for three days. However, once he encountered a battle, he would consume too much energy, and he couldn't help but feel hungry.
He got up and went to the side of the fire, where Dongfang Jing sat. She handed over a piece of roasted golden meat, and the fragrance assailed his nostrils. Seeing this, Ling Tian's appetite was greatly aroused, and he put down his refined nature. He let go of his stomach and began to eat. Dongfang Jing, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but smile, while Elder Hong found it funny. After a while, he finished the piece of meat and said, "Do you have more?"
Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "There are many. Eat slowly. Drink some water. Don't choke." After saying that, she passed the bag to Ling Tian and hurriedly nodded her head to thank him.
"Little brother, looks like you are really hungry today. Come, come, come, there is still a piece of roasted leg here. Quickly eat it." Elder Hong and his grandfather handed over a piece of roasted leg, and Ling Tian said, "I'm sorry for making Elder Hong laugh."
Elder Hong laughed loudly and said, "Little brother, these words are like an outsider. How can there be a difference between good and bad food? This was just a disturbance from a mediocre person. Eating meat in big mouthfuls, that is the true temperament."
Ling Tian said with a coy smile," What Elder Hong said is right, this brat is too humble. " Dongfang Jing who was by the side could not bear to watch any longer and said, "Grandpa Hong, you want me to finish eating first? Ling Tian is still hungry right now." Elder Hong laughed loudly when he saw this, and said, "Look, his arm has turned away so quickly. Alright. Little brother, you should eat quickly. I'll go out. " After saying that, he got up and walked out.
Leaving Ling Tian and Dongfang Jing behind, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. Dongfang Jing did not dare to raise her head to look at Ling Tian, so she focused all of her attention on the flame in front of her. It was as if there was an infinite scenery. Ling Tian did not have the courage to look at her, and only ate the roasted meat in his hands. After an unknown amount of time, he finally finished eating and lightly exhaled.
He used the corner of his eye to look at Dongfang Jing. He did not think that the silly girl was still looking at the flame. He could not help but say, "Don't look at the flame anymore. It's not good for your eyes. Do you want to become blind?"
"Oh, ah? What did you just say?" Dongfang Jing finally raised her head and said with a puzzled face. Ling Tian felt a row of crows fly over his head. F * ck! What are you thinking about? Thus, Ling Tian repeated what I just said. Dongfang Jing's pretty face couldn't help but turn red. So it turns out that he has been paying attention to me.
Although Ling Tian saw Dongfang Jing's face turn red, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. He only felt that the face of the young girl in front of him was really thin. Seeing her like this, he didn't say anything else. She wanted to speak a few times, but she saw that Dongfang Jing seemed to be thinking about something. So he put this thought away.
Hmm? Where did Tongtian go? Ling Tian was not worried about him now. Because his strength was equivalent to meeting a peak level 9 Devil Beast, and he was unable to defeat it. He could still escape. Sigh. Monkey's nature was to be active. He wanted it to stay in one place. This was difficult for a strong monkey. Ling Tian used his soul force to call it back. It might cause some trouble.
After about 15 minutes, Ling Tian's ears twitched. Hearing the monkey's cry, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed like it had returned. He didn't notice that his smile happened to be seen by Dongfang Jing, causing her heart to beat rapidly. She hurriedly avoided his gaze and didn't look at him anymore. In her heart, she was still blaming herself for not being able to live up to her expectations and had never seen a handsome man before.
Not long after, a shadow flashed past the entrance of the cave. Needless to say, it was heaven reaching. Tongtian jumped into Ling Tian's arms and Ling Tian said, "If I didn't call you back, you wouldn't have known to come back. Hmm? What is this? " He saw Tongtian holding a huge Devil Crystal in each of his hands. But judging from the energy contained within each Devil Crystal, it was without a doubt the crystal core of a level nine Devil Beast!
He couldn't help but look at Tongtian and say, "You killed two level nine Devil Beast?" Tongtian immediately pointed at the monkey's head and said, "Yes, Master. They are all at the beginning level of Level Nine, far weaker than me." Ling Tian believed Tongtian's words. The difference between a low level 9 Devil Beast and a peak level 9 Devil Beast was like heaven and earth. This little fellow was really lucky. The moment he went out, he encountered two level nine Devil Beast.
Ling Tian nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, I didn't expect to actually make a windfall. But remember to leave the next time you find a Level 9 Devil Beast for me. Right now, only a grade 9 Devil Beast can allow my cultivation to advance. " " Yes, Master. Didn't I see you recuperating this time? I didn't dare to disturb you. " Tongtian repeatedly replied.
Ling Tian said, "It's fine. After all, I came to the Devil Beast Forest to cultivate." Just as he was talking to Tongtian, Elder Hong returned. He sat down and said, "Little brother, I've decided to return early tomorrow morning. The family head's condition isn't looking good right now. It was better to return early to avoid any trouble. I want to ask, do you want to leave Devil Beast Forest with us? " Dongfang Jing's eyes lit up when she heard this and looked at Ling Tian with anticipation.
Ling Tian shook his head and said, "I think you should know that I came here to cultivate. I hope to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible. Thank you, Elder Hong, for your good intentions. " Ling Tian replied apologetically. "It's nothing. Actually, I already knew about this outcome a long time ago. However, you must come to my Dongfang Family as a guest in the future. You are now the great benefactor of my Dongfang Family. Patriarch will surely reward you handsomely. "
When Dongfang Jing heard that the young man would not go with her, she could not help but feel disappointed. Dongfang Jing's thoughts were like a rookie in love, and she knew what was on the mind of the young girl in front of her. She could not help but smile and say, "When I have time in the future, I will definitely go to the Dongfang Family to take a look. I hope that when the time comes, I will not be rejected."
Elder Hong smiled and said, "Little brother, you must be joking." Dongfang Jing said, "You must come!" Ling Tian nodded, this could be considered a kind of promise.
At this time, Elder Hong finally noticed the Devil Crystal in Tongtian's hand, his face full of shock as he said, "Could this be the crystal core of a level 9 Devil Beast?" Ling Tian replied, "Yes, this is Tongtian's harvest today."
This was truly inconceivable. Ling Tian had never thought that your Devil Pet would be so powerful, to actually be able to kill two Grade 9 Devil Beast without suffering any injuries. It seemed like Elder Hong had received quite a bit of stimulation.
Tongtian proudly raised his head, his fingers continuously pointing at himself. That monkey appearance was really funny. Even Elder Hong started laughing, and Dongfang Jing even bent over laughing.
After that, everyone chatted for a long time. However, considering that they still had to travel tomorrow, Elder Hong and Dongfang Jing still went to rest early. Ling Tian also fell asleep. After all, he had indeed been extremely tired during this period of time.
Late at night, the sound of firewood being burnt could be heard from time to time, and the raging flames seemed to be telling something.
Time passed by like a white horse passing by, and soon, the second day arrived. After a simple tidying up, they could set off. When Tiantai Lingtian got up, he could no longer see anyone in the cave. Dongfang Jing and Elder Hong were nowhere to be seen. His ears twitched as he heard the noise outside the cave. He could not help but think. It seemed like they were going to be separated again. It was fate that they knew each other. Separation was the karma that was planted for the next gathering.
Ling Tian walked out of the cave, and when Dongfang Jing saw Ling Tian from afar, she hurriedly walked over. She said, "Ling Tian, you're up." Nodding his head, Ling Tian calmly said, "Yes. The weather today is not bad, when are you leaving?" Dongfang Jing lightly smiled, "We will be leaving in about an hour."
Ling Tian pondered for a while, then took out all of the Three-eyed Fire Lion that he had killed yesterday from his interspatial Interspatial Ring and placed them in a leather bag. He passed it to Dongfang Jing and said," Miss Jing, please accept this. "
Dongfang Jing's expression was somewhat flustered as she declined, "This is too precious, I cannot accept it." She knew that there were over 10 Devil Crystal in this bag, and one of them was a level 9 Devil Crystal. The rest were all tier 8 Devil Crystal. This was not a small amount.
Ling Tian could not help but have a headache. This was the first time he had given a girl a gift. This was really too shameful. He smiled and said, "Miss Dongfang, you're wrong. I treat you as friends. What's the difference between friends' gifts? Besides, in my eyes, these Devil Crystal are really nothing. Now, the Devil Crystal is the least lacking, so there's no need to drag things out. Take it."
Dongfang Jing was a bit moved by his words, and Ling Tian continued, "Perhaps in the future, this Three-eyed Fire Lion's Devil Crystal might come in handy." After saying this, Dongfang Jing finally took the Devil Crystal. Just as she was about to say something. Ling Tian hurriedly interrupted her and said, "If you want to thank me, then don't say it again. Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable all over."
Dongfang Jing's face turned red and her eyes turned as she said, "Who said thank you? I just want to say... In the future, be careful in the Magic Beast Forest, or else you will become a snack for the Devil Beast." Ling Tian couldn't help but be stunned, and then he started to laugh. This was really interesting.
Before Ling Tian could finish laughing, Elder Hong walked over and said, "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?" Dongfang Jing said, "Nothing much, we were just casually chatting. Oh right, Grandpa Hong, these Devil Crystal were all given to us by Ling Tian." Elder Hong took the leather bag in front of him and took a look. He saw that the Devil Crystal in the bag was emitting waves of red light. His expression instantly changed. He raised his head and looked at Tiantai Lingtian. He said hesitantly, "Little brother, why is that?"
Ling Tian lightly smiled. "Master Elder Hong, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please do not reject it. These Three-eyed Fire Lion crystals aren't very useful to me, but they might be useful to you in the future. Please don't reject it. "
