Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 13's suggestion was good, but don't mention it again.
The boy lowered his head, then suddenly looked up as if he had thought of something and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Zhou Zhou."

"Sister, what's your surname... what's your name?"

When facing Bai Xi, Zhou Zhou seemed very nervous and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

He had heard Long Haochen call Bai Xi "Xi Xi" before, and he had only intended to ask her what her surname was.

"My name is Long Haochen."

Long Haochen noticed Zhou Zhou's little scheme and found it very irritating. Therefore, before Bai Xi could reply, he revealed his name and then changed the subject.

"Young Master Zhou, right? What are you doing here all alone? That's dangerous! Judging from your appearance, are you a knight too?"

Long Haochen's question successfully drew everyone's attention to this issue.

"I am indeed a knight. I am eleven years old and a second-tier, fifth-level prospective knight."

Zhou Zhou only answered the second question, trying to avoid the first one.

However, remembering that Long Haochen and Bai Xi had saved his life, he still said some things.

“I didn’t stay here voluntarily; I was abandoned by my family.”

As he spoke, the eleven-year-old boy's voice already trembled with tears.

He didn't understand why he had been abandoned.

Abandoned here and hunted by monsters, he was in utter despair, as if the whole world had fallen into boundless darkness.

Bai Xi's appearance was like the moonlight shining down, bright but not dazzling, pulling him out of the darkness.

"It's alright, it's alright. You can live perfectly well on your own. Besides, you're only eleven years old and you're already a second-tier, fifth-level knight. Becoming the strongest knight is just around the corner. When that time comes, you'll make them regret leaving you behind today."

"This can cure snake venom, and you'll be fine in a little while."

Bai Xi gently comforted Zhou Zhou, who was feeling down.

She even squeezed the juice from the herbs she had just gathered and dripped it onto Zhou Zhou's wound.

She believed that there was an antidote within ten steps, and sure enough, she found herbs that could cure snake venom nearby.

Her goodwill towards Zhou Zhou stemmed entirely from his striking good looks. At such a young age, he already possessed an exceptional appearance.

Bai Xi is a sucker for good looks.

"Thank you for your comforting words, sister. I'm much better now. I didn't know you were like this before..."

Zhou Zhou's attempt to speak was interrupted by Long Haochen again.

"Well, we need to find another place quickly. Something just died here, and it wouldn't be good if its aura attracted other things."

Long Haochen's reasoning was perfectly valid. As he spoke, he took Bai Xi's hand and led her to a relatively safe area.

What could Zhou Zhou do but follow along?

However, he stared fiercely at Long Haochen's back, thinking to himself that Long Haochen was really annoying, even more annoying than the monster from before.

But they hadn't taken more than a few steps when Bai Xi suddenly sensed a dangerous aura, and the ground beneath her feet seemed to be shaking slightly.

"It's a monster again; it has already discovered us."

Bai Xi realized something was wrong. If she hadn't been discovered, she could have used the disguise ability that the Vermilion Bird had given her to fool the magical beast.

However, since it has already been discovered, this trick is no longer effective.

"Sister Xixi, you guys run first! It's a red snake with wings, and it keeps chasing us."

Zhou Zhou actually stopped, intending to stop the snake and buy them time to escape.

But after he stopped, Long Haochen also stopped with Bai Xi. Before Zhou Zhou could even feel moved, he heard Long Haochen's voice.

"We can't outrun it, and even if we manage to stop it, it won't make a difference."

Long Haochen deduced the snake's name and rank based on Zhou Zhou's description of a winged red snake.

The Bloodwing Crimson Fang Serpent and the venomous python they just killed are often partners. But this Bloodwing Crimson Fang Serpent is at least a fourth-tier serpent.

In the blink of an eye, the snake was already in front of them.

And right away, it sprayed a thick stream of red venom at them.

"This snake is extremely venomous, and its venom is corrosive. Anyone who gets their hands on the venom and does not receive timely medical attention will surely die."

As Long Haochen dodged, he explained the snake's abilities.

"It can spray venom three times a day. If the timing is correct, it's just past midnight now. We're pretty unlucky."

After dodging the venom, Long Haochen launched an attack on the Bloodwing Red Fang Serpent while saying with a wry smile.

"We're not going to be unlucky. The only one who'll be unlucky is this blind snake."

Unlike Long Haochen's worries, Bai Xi was extremely arrogant and conceited.

This fourth-tier magical beast was very strong; it was the first time she had encountered such a powerful creature. But she firmly believed that she could defeat it and bring Long Haochen home safely.

A pure white blade strikes the phoenix tree, a cross slash, a divine parry...

This fourth-tier magical beast was indeed exceptionally powerful. The three of them used almost all the skills they knew, but they still couldn't hurt it much.

On the contrary, Zhou Zhou, due to his poor condition, was flung away by a snake's tail and crashed into a tree trunk, losing consciousness.

"Xixi, you run by yourself. You run faster than me. If I buy you some more time, you will definitely be able to escape and survive."

Long Haochen didn't want both of them to perish here, so he suggested that Bai Xi run first.

"The suggestion is good, but let's switch. You run and I'll stay."

Bai Xi responded with a cold laugh, her eyes gleaming with a crimson-gold light, and the surrounding air seemed to heat up.

"no!"

Long Haochen refused without even thinking; he would never abandon Bai Xi to survive alone.

Bai Xi didn't respond to him anymore, but Long Haochen already understood everything.

They were twins, a dragon and a phoenix, and were the closest people to each other in the world. If you count the ten months of pregnancy, they had been together day and night for eleven years and had never been separated.

The feelings and importance that the two have for each other are unparalleled by anyone else.

They can never abandon another person.

"A perfectly normal snake, why does it have to imitate birds and grow wings, making itself look like a monster."

"It's one thing to have wings, but they're also incredibly ugly. Let me show you what beautiful wings are."

Bai Xi's mouth was like poison; she would even curse magical beasts that couldn't understand human speech with gusto.

The surrounding fire-attribute spiritual energy seemed to be drawn to the tip of Bai Xi's sword. With the help of the Vermilion Bird's aura, Bai Xi unleashed her strongest sword strike at the Bloodwing Crimson Fang Serpent.

"The Phoenix Soars!"

Flames, condensed from fire-attribute spiritual power and sword energy, were generated beneath the sword, resembling a phoenix in flight, swooping down upon the blood-winged serpent, instantly engulfing it in scorching heat.

The Bloodwing Serpent struggled desperately in the firelight, trying to escape, and a thick section of its tail just happened to brush against Bai Xi.

"Help, am I really going to be unlucky?"
