After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

When Gu Qingze heard Chu Lingxiao's words, his body froze.

Oh no, Ling Xiao didn’t follow the routine, so all the ideas I just organized were wasted.

How should I answer him now?

"Hehe, I was just kidding. Actually, I don't have anyone I like yet. You must have been fooled by me."

As if he noticed that the atmosphere was not right, Chu Lingxiao quickly pretended to be indifferent and spoke.

Although Chu Lingxiao looked very happy, Gu Qingze felt that the sadness in his eyes was about to overflow.

It turns out that Ling Xiao really likes me...

The more Chu Lingxiao tried to appear happy, the more uncomfortable Gu Qingze felt.

He felt that Ling Xiao was like a fragile object at this moment. He was about to break, but he still cared about other people's feelings.

He was so wrong. Even people who didn't know him well could see that Ling Xiao liked him, but he always thought it was friendship.

Gu Qingze threw all the previous speculations about Ling Xiao not being able to tell the difference between friendship and love, or that Ling Xiao might not have seen the outside world and therefore mistakenly thought that he liked him out of the window.

Gu Qingze's only thought now was to hug Chu Lingxiao.

"Why are you hugging me? Are you suddenly feeling cold and want to keep warm in my arms?"

Chu Lingxiao was still trying to make up for Gu Qingze's sudden behavior and give a reasonable explanation.

"Well, it's cold, and it's getting late. Let's go back to the tent and rest. Don't we have to continue collecting crystal cores tomorrow?"

Gu Qingze slowly let go of Chu Lingxiao's body. When his senses gradually returned, he realized how irrational his behavior was and immediately continued to talk along with what he said.

"I told you that you must be cold wearing so little. Let's go back."

Chu Lingxiao also replied with a smile.

Both of them seemed to have tacitly forgotten that cultivators would not feel cold unless they were in extreme circumstances.

………………

When they were about to go hunting spirit beasts the next day, Chu Lingxiao suggested reducing the number of trips to the wilderness and practicing in the tent until the end of the trial.

When they were picking the Holy Spirit Fruit and were about to leave the valley, while others were in a hurry and panic, Chu Lingxiao took the opportunity to take out the Wood Ape King's crystal core from its exploded body, which was only half left.

The Wood Ape King is a mid-level spiritual beast with a cultivation base above the Golden Core Stage. If nothing goes wrong, they will definitely pass the first test, so Chu Lingxiao feels that there is no need to go to the wilderness.

If they continued forward, what if they encountered another dangerous person or spirit beast? Therefore, he suggested staying in the camp until the end of the trial.

But Gu Qingze didn't think so. Now was a good opportunity to hone himself. There were basically low-level spirit beasts on the periphery, and there were also masters invited by Qingyun Sect to protect them secretly. The safety index was very high. He should take this opportunity to hunt more spirit beasts and improve his practical experience.

Moreover, the extra crystal cores can be kept by oneself and sold in the market. Chu Lingxiao is in need of money right now, so why not take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Whether it is refining equipment or making array formations, crystal cores are needed to complete the core part. To obtain crystal cores, you must hunt spirit beasts, but hunting spirit beasts is dangerous, so crystal cores are generally sold at a very high price and are in short supply.

After thinking about it, Chu Lingxiao felt that it made sense. In the days that followed, they would just hunt some low-level spirit beasts on the outskirts of the wilderness. This would not only ensure their safety, but also increase their practical experience and make money.
