“Mm, I understand.” Chen Xiaobei nodded solemnly.
Find her parents had been Luo Puti’s obsession from the start.
Since her parents disappeared, everything she did was with this goal in mind.
She would have never left this place for the sake of her own safety. That was unlikely of Luo Puti!
Chen Xiaobei continued, “We’ll go in together. As long there’s breath in my body, I will not let anything happen to you!”
“Xiaobei…” The rims of Luo Puti’s eyes reddened, her voice pained but earnest, “You are just too good!”
“Oh, you just realized that?” Chen Xiaobei grinned as he felt warmth spreading within him at the compliment given.
“I knew that already. You’ve always been good to me. You’ve always cared for me, offering help and protecting me.”
“You are my wife! These are my responsibilities!” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
“You’ve always treated me as your wife and fulfil your duty by being good to me, but I’ve never done anything worthy of a wife for you.” Luo Puti pursed her lips, her long lashes fluttered as she blinked with uncertainty.
“Well, that’s why you must treat me better next time! Be gentler to me!”
“NO!” Luo Puti shook her head. “That’s not enough! After this is all over, no matter the outcome, I’m willing to go out with you as your girlfriend. If you’re not willing, I will pursue you!”
“Wow! Am I imagining things?” Chen Xiaobei never expected Luo Puti to say anything like that to him.
This was the Ice Queen!
Cold, arrogant and restrained, keeping everybody at arm’s length!
This woman had actually just said that she would pursue Chen Xiaobei!
He had never known of this unbridled Luo Puti! Chen Xiaobei was finding it very difficult to believe!
“You can just pretend that you are! I won’t say this twice anyway!”
“No! No! No! I heard it loud and clear! Every word of it, every syllable and every line! You are not allowed to take it back!”
Chen Xiaobei quickly held on to the promise in case Luo Puti changed her mind.
Taming an Ice Queen was something only a man like Chen Xiaobei could do.
Upon realizing this, Chen Xiaobei felt a deep sense of accomplishment.
Luo Puti’s red lips curved upwards into a mesmerizing crescent. “This time, I will not go back on my word! Well, as long as you don’t mind me being so weak.”
“Silly wife! You are such a divine woman! How could I find any flaws in you! I would be struck by lightning if I ever do that!” Chen Xiaobei could not stop smiling.
“Don’t say that!”
“I’m just telling you the truth!”
The feeling Chen Xiaobei was experiencing right now was way more overwhelming than when he took the Spiritual Items from Zhuo Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao!
For the rest of that period, nothing extraordinary happened.
The people of Kunlun Faction and Xingxiu Faction recuperated by the dark river; after they had eaten the leftovers and rehydrated their bodies, they all recovered very quickly.
“Mr. Chen, what’s your next move?” Zhou Xiaokun asked.
Even though he loathed Chen Xiaobei, Zhou Xiaokun knew that in order to move forward, they needed Chen Xiaobei.
“My plan is this: First, my suggestion is that for those who do not wish to die, you should leave the desert and return home once you’ve filled up on water!” said Chen Xiaobei.
“Leave?!”
Everyone looked at Chen Xiaobei.
The truth was that most of them had wanted to retreat earlier on. After those near-death experiences, they were reminded of how precious life was.
None of them, after having nearly lost their lives, wanted to take the risk anymore.
But this was not their decision to make. It would all have to depend on Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao.
After all, the road home was also perilous.
Except for Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao, even a small sandstorm could consume all of them whole.
This meant that if the two young masters decided to retreat, the others could not.
The disciples looked at Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao with a mixture of dread and hopefulness.
“No! We will not retreat!” Zhou Xiaokun was adamant. “Exploring Black Desert and finding Jingjue Ancient Faction has been our dream for generations! How can we just give it up like that especially now that we are so close to realizing it?”
“That’s right!” Ding Ding’ao added. “After all the suffering and torture we’ve put ourselves through, we’ll definitely regret it if we don’t see it through to the end! For the sake of our dreams, we have to press on!”
“Heh, that’s easier said than done!” Chen Xiaobei’s said in a frosty tone. “That dream you keep talking about will cost the lives of many! Have you even thought about that?”
Zhou Xiaokun looked at Chen Xiaobei wantonly. “Cost lives? How so? Those who do not wish to go after the dream with me, can retreat. I’m not forcing anyone to follow me!”
“Yeah!” Ding Ding’ao piled on. “I am very amenable! Those who don’t want to continue can go back! I promise that I won’t penalize anyone for running away when I return!”
The disciples rolled their eyes at this.
Those two knew that none of them were capable of retreating on their own.
How flagrant they were to say that!
“Alright, since the both of you aren’t leaving, and the others can’t, let me fill you in on my plan!” Chen Xiaobei said. “The 36 kingdoms were built along the river. So, all we need to do is to follow the dark river, and it will eventually lead us to the acclaimed Jingjue Kingdom! But, the dngers that lie ahead will be even more treacherous! For the sake of everyone’s safety, I suggest that all of us go a little slower! If circumstances permit, you might be able to see Jingjue Kingdom; and if there are any problems along the way, it would easier for you to retreat!”
Chen Xiaobei was being as objective as he could get; he did not wish for their help but hoped to reduce the chances of casualties or anyone getting hurt.
But Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao refused to cooperate.
“No! Mr. Chen has a holy item! If there are any evil spirits, you can protect us! Wherever Mr. Chen goes, we will follow!” Both of them said.
Chen Xiaobei felt like kicking these two selfish idiots the furthest possible.
As the Chinese proverbs goes, a piece of rat dropping will spoil the whole pot of soup (one bad apple spoils the whole barrel).
Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao were like two gigantic pieces of rat droppings that were constantly trying to spoil Chen Xiaobei’s disposition. They were obviously up to no good again.
Chen Xiaobei knew this but he did not show it. “I already gave you my advice. But if you refuse to listen, you’ll have to bear the consequences yourselves!”
