I want to follow you

Under the dim sky, Zhong Qing looked at Fire Linger.

After a moment of silence, he asked, “Are you sure?”

Fire Linger nodded solemnly.

“Absolutely!”

She clearly saw Zhong Qing’s confusion and proactively explained, “Undeniably, whether it’s joining the Four Seasons Sect or the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it could allow me to ascend to the heavens in one step.”

“However, I still want to follow you.”

“Because you are more formidable!”

“Given time, your name will surely spread throughout the entire continent.”

“Following you, I can reach a different kind of life’s Peak.”

“Possessing renown and Opportunity that the Grand Sect Masters of the two great Sects cannot provide.”

“To put it more simply, when your renown reaches the point where the world knows of you, if I say I know you, or even followed you, those people I used to know will surely be envious and jealous of me.”

“So, can I follow you?”

“Even if you make me serve tea and pour water, wash clothes and cook, or even work like an ox or a horse, it’s fine.”

Huo Ling’er’s large eyes were full of hope.

Meeting her fervent gaze, Zhong Qing was somewhat dumbfounded.

Her wish truly was…

How to put it!

Quite fresh and refined, unique, yet very sincere.

To translate it: You are so powerful; following you will give me more confidence when showing off in the future.

Goodness!

He knew Huo Ling’er had a carefree personality.

But to be so direct and straightforward was somewhat unexpected for him.

Of course, Zhong Qing was not annoyed.

Instead, he gained three more points of good impression for Huo Ling’er’s sincerity and straightforwardness.

However, he was not accustomed to having a woman by his side.

Therefore, Huo Ling’er’s request made him somewhat difficult for a moment.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhong Qing thought of a compromise.

He said to Huo Ling’er.

“Within the Demon City, I can agree to let you follow me.”

“But outside the Demon City, it’s not possible.”

“Now, I can give you another chance to choose.”

“Do you want to be a Grand Sect Master, or continue to follow me?”

He originally thought Huo Ling’er would be indecisive.

He never expected that this girl didn’t even think about it.

“I still want to follow you.”

“Regardless of how long, thank you for giving me this Opportunity.”

This posture made Bai Wuxia and Ji Wuchang feel inferior.

This girl, her path has broadened!

At this moment, they understood why the other party refused to become a Grand Sect Master in their Sect.

As long as one can establish a good relationship with the master, would they fear a lack of Opportunity and good fortune?

On the contrary, their own perspective seemed a bit narrow.

Just like that, behind Zhong Qing, there was an extra little follower.

As the battle aftermath was cleaned up.

Chicken One took a big step and came before Zhong Qing.

“Master, now that Fu Wang Palace has been punished.”

“We should obey your command and clear obstacles for Young Miss Bai Ling.”

“However, should we also destroy the North Demon Cave along the way?”

“It would also be a great gift for Young Miss Bai Ling’s emergence.”

This made Huo Ling’er click her tongue.

The North Demon Cave!

That was one of the Northern Region’s Four Transcendent Powers.

If it were before today, she would definitely think Chicken One was bragging.

Four Transcendent Powers, you say destroy and you destroy them, how are you so capable?

But now…

The fate of Fu Wang Palace was still vivid in memory.

It seemed that there was truly no difficulty for the other party to say they would take down the North Demon Cave.

If two of the Northern Region’s two top powers were taken down in one day, that would truly be lively.

Just as Huo Ling’er was secretly thinking this, Zhong Qing spoke.

“You all do not need to act on the matter of the North Demon Cave.”

“Her grievances and affections should be resolved by herself.”

“You all, just guard her well.”

“Yes, Master!”

Chicken One bowed deeply, then bid farewell to Zhong Qing and left.

As he left, the other Demon Generals, Scarecrow, and even the Four Seasons Sect and Ten Thousand Swords Sect also bid farewell to Zhong Qing.

Soon, the originally bustling and lively place became desolate and quiet.

The ground full of corpses added a sense of bleakness to this area.

“Brother Zhong, where are we going next!”

Huo Ling’er seemed to be oblivious to the corpses on the ground.

Instead, she was full of anticipation for the upcoming journey.

She felt that there were too many mysterious points about Zhong Qing that attracted her.

Whether it was his strength or his personality, he was completely different from anyone she had encountered before.

“Do you drink alcohol?”

Zhong Qing answered irrelevantly.

“Naturally!”

Huo Ling’er held her large saber, patting her chest, making a clanging sound to show her boldness.

Zhong Qing’s mouth twitched.

To say that Huo Ling’er’s looks weren’t overly stunning.

She was the type that grew on you.

But her body proportions were extremely exaggerated.

A slender waist paired with a magnificent Peak, like two heavy fruits hanging on a slender branch.

Swinging, it seemed as if the branch could twist off at any moment.

This clanging patting made Zhong Qing worry for a while that she would hurt herself.

Thinking of this, he quickly said, “I, Zhong, have two great hobbies in my life.”

“One is drinking!”

“The second is Alchemy!”

“Since you can drink, why not join me in finding an elegant place for a small drink?”

Huo Ling’er was clearly also a lover of alcohol.

With one part flattery and nine parts eagerness, she said, “Everything, as Brother Zhong wishes.”

Drinking alone is about the mood.

Drinking with two people is about the atmosphere.

So Zhong Qing took Huo Ling’er to a place with mountains and water.

Though Demon City was a city, it was also more than just a city.

It was more like a small world.

Soon, smoke curled up from the mountain.

Not long after, a roaring bonfire burned.

Roasting over the fire was the tiger demon that had bared its fangs at Zhong Qing not long ago.

Of course, it was only a small part of the remains.

Heart, liver, spleen, kidney, and even tiger penis.

Provided by Huo Ling’er.

One had to admit, this girl kept refreshing Zhong Qing’s understanding.

In his opinion, shouldn’t something like tiger penis only be liked by men?

He had never heard of a woman liking it.

It was truly an eye-opener.

“Brother Zhong, come, your little sister toasts you!”

They say drinking is one of the fastest ways to build rapport.

Indeed, after two cups of wine, Zhong Qing felt that the awkwardness Huo Ling’er had due to their unequal status and strength completely vanished.

It was replaced by a familiar closeness.

For a moment, Zhong Qing even felt that they weren’t just recently acquainted, but rather old friends who had known each other for a long time.

However, this feeling was also quite good.

Once the atmosphere was right.

Zhong Qing inevitably drank a bit more.

To his surprise, Huo Ling’er’s alcohol tolerance was too good.

Even he felt a bit dizzy, but this girl seemed completely fine.

In the end, Zhong Qing didn’t even know when the banquet ended.

He only felt that he had drunk a lot of wine, and most of the roasted meat on the fire had gone into his mouth along with the fine wine.

This inevitably made him feel a burst of heat in his body.

In a daze, he felt a hand unbuttoning his clothes.

This made Zhong Qing jolt.

Most of his drunkenness instantly sobered up.
