"Cough, cough, Senior Han Yue and I also met by chance at the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda before. She and I are just friends."
Xiao Jietian coughed twice, his face serious, and said without blushing or panting.
"Is that so? I heard you and Sister Xian'er were also just friends at first~"
"And after I appeared, Senior Han Yue's expression was a little off. It seems Brother Xiao Jietian is a lady killer, even Senior Han Yue, who is rumored to be indifferent to men, specially came to ~care~ about you."
Xun'er looked at Xiao Jietian playfully. She knew her boyfriend very well.
In this situation, Xiao Jietian knew he couldn't reason with her, or things would become even harder to control. He had a record, so he had to resort to physics.
"Slap!"
Xiao Jietian directly pulled Xun'er into his arms and slapped her on her shapely bottom.
"Ah, Brother Xiao Jietian, what are you doing?"
Xun'er felt a burning sensation on her bottom, her face immediately turned crimson, her small mouth pouted slightly, and her eyes darted around.
"Do it."
"Brother Xiao Jietian, what did you say?"
Xun'er looked at Xiao Jietian in confusion and asked.
"Nothing…"
Indeed, she was still the pure Xun'er. Others were already on the highway, while she was still humming children's songs.
To prevent Xun'er from asking again, Xiao Jietian directly used his ultimate move, holding Xun'er's head and kissing her lips.
Xun'er's eyes widened, and under Xiao Jietian's expert kissing technique, Xun'er gradually lost herself, even the words she wanted to ask Xiao Jietian were held back.
The two passionately kissed each other. Of course, this time, because they were in the main hall, Xiao Jietian's hands were very well-behaved.
However, there was no one left here now. Most people had gone to cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda under Xiao Yan's lead.
After the passionate kiss ended, Xun'er collapsed in Xiao Jietian's arms, panting, her pupils unable to focus.
Xun'er suddenly felt something abnormal, her body stiffened, and she sprang up, leaving Xiao Jietian's body. Her entire face was flushed, like a red-hot iron.
Xun'er glanced slightly, saw the tent, and ran outside.
She suddenly recalled hearing Sister Ya Fei and the others discussing how several people couldn't defeat Xiao Jietian earlier:
"If I agree, then it's fine. As for whether I agree or not, that depends on your performance."
"I'm also preparing to go cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda."
Xun'er finished speaking and gradually disappeared from Xiao Jietian's sight.
"Alright, be careful not to over-cultivate to avoid fire poison."
Xiao Jietian shouted to Xun'er's retreating figure.
"I know, but I'm not afraid."
Xun'er's soft voice sounded, but her tone was firm.
Why wasn't she afraid? Not afraid is not afraid, cough cough, wrong channel. Xiao Jietian remembered that Xun'er's body contained a sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, so the flame projected by the Fallen Heart Flame was its younger brother.
Xiao Jietian returned to his room and took out the Monster Egg he had obtained from checking in earlier. He had kept it in the system space all this time. This one was unhatched, so it could be stored in the system space.
Today, Xiao Jietian felt the egg move a little, indicating that it wouldn't be long until it hatched.
"Host, this Monster Egg has begun to show signs of life and can no longer remain in the system space. Please perform the recognition ceremony as soon as possible."
This was exactly what the system had just informed him.
"System, how do I perform this recognition?"
Xiao Jietian had never obtained a Monster Egg before and knew nothing about beast taming.
"Host, pour your blood onto the Monster Egg's shell. After it absorbs it, it will naturally develop an affinity for you."
Xiao Jietian directly cut his palm, and bright red blood immediately gushed out.
Taking a deep breath, he carefully held his bleeding palm over the Monster Egg, his eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation. This was like opening a blind box; he had no idea what kind of creature this silver-black Monster Egg contained. But the only comfort was that he could sense that the creature inside this egg was not simple.
Blood dripped down, one drop after another, hitting the silver-black eggshell. As the blood continuously poured, many patterns appeared on the eggshell. The blood slowly flowed along the patterns, and finally, the entire egg emitted a dazzling light.
After the light dissipated, the red patterns on the Monster Egg in front of him had disappeared, returning to its original appearance. But Xiao Jietian felt that he had established a connection with the Monster Egg, and he felt a strange sense of closeness.
"System, is it done? Shouldn't it hatch after the blood is dripped?"
"Host, it has just formed now, and it is the best time to establish a connection. Once it grows up and develops intelligence, you won't be able to establish a connection unless you use a contract to bind it. But that kind of binding is ultimately imperfect."
"This blood-pouring binding is the most perfect and most humane. It will consider you the closest person, even more important than its own life. Monsters are the most pure in terms of temperament."
"Understood. Then how long until it hatches?"
Xiao Jietian looked at the Monster Egg, his heart filled with apprehension. He couldn't penetrate this blind box with his soul, so he couldn't perceive what creature was inside. However, the only comfort was that he could sense that the creature inside this egg was not simple.
"I hope it won't disappoint me."
A black-gray Monster Egg appeared in Xiao Jietian's hand. This was the other lifeless egg from the reward:
"Even if that egg is a gamble that loses, at least the things from this egg are very good."
"It seems this matter also needs to be put on the agenda soon. Now that little fellow has gradually been suppressed."
Xiao Jietian muttered to himself.
The silver-black egg beside him seemed to hear Xiao Jietian's words, as if it felt Xiao Jietian looked down on it, and moved a few times, expressing its dissatisfaction.
"No matter what you are, you are my most beloved companion."
Xiao Jietian touched that Monster Egg. Hearing his words, the egg also quieted down, seeming to agree with Xiao Jietian's words.
Xiao Jietian directly put the two Monster Eggs away separately.
At the same time, Xun'er also arrived at the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. The moment she stepped in, Xun'er's body stiffened, and a slight blush appeared on her face.
About two minutes later, Xun'er opened her tightly closed eyes, and a golden flame flashed through them.
"Is this the wonder that Brother Xiao Jietian also praised? I didn't expect the effect on cultivation to be so obvious. No wonder those old students' cultivation progress is so fast."
Xun'er ignored the onlookers and walked straight inside.
"Who is this woman? She's too beautiful, like she walked out of a painting, enchanting people."
"I've seen her. Her name is Xiao Xun Er. She used to stand beside Pan Gate's Xiao Jietian. The rumor is she's Xiao Jietian's girlfriend."
"So it's her. Rumor has it that Junior Sister Xiao Xun Er is as beautiful as a celestial being, with noble, elegant, and confident temperament, like a pure lotus in a muddy world. Now that I see her, she's even more so. I'm completely smitten. Even if my ancestral grave emitted green smoke, I wouldn't get her."
A young man looked at Xun'er's departing figure with infatuation and whispered.
"Don't talk about green smoke, I'd be willing even if my ancestral grave exploded."
Another young man also shook his head and sighed, while the people around looked at the two filial sons with black lines on their faces.
Truly, a grand filial piety, to the point of death.
… …
As the sun set, the moon rose, and then the sun rose again.
Under the sunlight, all things revived, and the chill of the night was driven away.
In the courtyard of the Pan Gate headquarters pavilion, more than forty young men and women stood neatly. In front of them stood two women and three men, who were Xun'er and Wu Hao. At the very front of them stood a handsome young man in white.
Xiao Jietian spoke loudly to the people in front of him: "Since its establishment, our Pan Gate has always been questioned. Today is the first battle of our Pan Gate, and also the battle to make our name known."
"Pan Gate, will surely win."
More than forty Pan Gate members shouted, their faces flushed, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
When the time was almost right, Xiao Jietian raised his hand to suppress, and the noise immediately quieted down.
"Destination: Arena, Depart!!!"
Xiao Jietian waved his hand, leading the Pan Gate members towards the Arena.
