The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss Chapter 884 - Delicate Night (8)

Chapter 884: Delicate Night (8)

A complicated expression that Shen Yanxiao had never seen before appeared in his eyes that were as bright as the sun.
Xiu narrowed his eyes and closed them again as he gazed at the silent lake.
When Shen Yanxiao woke up, it was already afternoon. She tried to call for Xiu again, but there was still no response. Shen Yanxiao sighed and ate some food before she carried the black crystal and continued with her training.
Night fell, but Xiu still did not appear.
The next night, he still did not appear.
On the third day…
The fourth day…
The fifth day…
On the night of the sixth day, Shen Yanxiao no longer held any hopes that Xiu would appear. There had been no response from Xiu for the past few days, so she thought that he had exhausted too much of his strength. Even though Xiu was not around, Shen Yanxiao did not give up on her training. Instead, she felt guilty that Xiu had exhausted so much of his strength to make her stronger.
It was late at night when Shen Yanxiao finally fell asleep on the straw mattress with the cold black crystal in her arms.
After Shen Yanxiao entered her dreamland, a faint wisp of black mist emanated from her chest and gradually condensed into a human form in front of her.
Under the night sky, Xiu stood in front of Shen Yanxiao and looked at the little girl who laid on the ground with her hands tightly hugging the black crystal. No one knew what he was thinking about at the moment.
Xiu slowly crouched down and looked at Shen Yanxiao, who had curled herself into a ball due to the cold. He frowned when he realized that she was still hugging the cold black crystal even though it was chilly.
A cluster of thumb-sized golden flames appeared on his fingertips.
The brilliant flames exuded a gentle warmth. As Xiu moved his fingers, five golden flames moved automatically, surrounding Shen Yanxiao. The warmth of the golden flames soon dispelled the coldness of the northern region and Shen Yanxiao’s furrowed brows finally relaxed in her sleep.
Xiu said nothing. He looked at Shen Yanxiao’s sleeping face and sat down by her side.
Xiu’s expression darkened when he saw the clusters of golden flames around the little girl.
Minutes and seconds elapsed as Xiu sat quietly by Shen Yanxiao’s side. When he could no longer maintain his corporeal body, his silhouette gradually turned into black mist in the night.
As the mist dissipated, Xiu lifted his hand. His hand that was gradually shrouded by the black mist slowly reached towards Shen Yanxiao’s neck. The moment his hand touched her warm skin, he turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared from the cave.
When Shen Yanxiao woke up, she felt as if she had slept exceptionally well yesterday night. She did not feel as cold as she usually did when she woke up in the past. She felt warm all over.
Shen Yanxiao sat up and looked at the black crystal in her arms. She pursed her lips and placed it on her lap as she rummaged through the food in her interspatial ring.
Fortunately, she had brought a lot of delicious food with her. Otherwise, she would be bored to death if she only had some rations.
In a good mood, she took an apple from her space ring and bit into it.
However, the next second, a large ball of black mist seeped out from her chest, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a human form in front of her.
Xiu, whom she had not seen for many days, suddenly appeared in front of her.
Everything happened so suddenly that Shen Yanxiao nearly choked on the apple that she had just bitten into!
