Chapter 345: There Wont Be a Second Time

“How did you find this place?”

“I happened to pass by and saw it, so I thought of coming here to rest for the night…”

“Lian Hua, oh Lian Hua, what should I say about you? You’re quite brave. The distance between the Fire Sect and Carefree City is enough for you to walk for one month. You left a note without any preparations and you’re planning to leave?

“If you want to go back, I can send you back to Carefree City. After all my personal matters are settled, I’ll go back to pick you up. But you can’t leave on your own! Have you ever thought about what would happen to our agreement if you die here? What about my payment?

“A lonely young girl in the wilderness. Lian Hua, do you want to die?

“That won’t happen, I’m at least in the spiritual pedestal realm. I won’t die so easily…”

Lian Hua looked at the furious Victor and quickly lowered her head.

“Spiritual pedestal realm? Do you think the spiritual pedestal realm is so great? This is the Central Plains! It’s not the Eastern Plains! Here, even core formation realm cultivators will die!

“Just in White Dragon City alone, do you know how many nascent soul realm and core formation realm cultivators have died?!”

“Don’t be angry… I know what I’m doing…”

“Yeah right! Do you know that not everyone is as kind as me? Aren’t you afraid of being captured and forced to be a wife?”

Victor did not know what to say. This was the first time he had met such a stupid person.

Even if Victor was at the core formation realm, he still had to hide his tracks when traveling. Lian Hua was just a girl, if she traveled across half of the Central Plains to return to Carefree City. What was the difference between this and courting death?

Victor looked at the girl who was squatting on the ground and frowned. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said.

“Give me a reason. If you can convince me, I will send you back now.”

“I… I don’t want to become your burden.”

Lian Hua sobbed and slowly raised her head. Her eyes were red.

“When did I say that you were my burden?”

“You said it! You said that if you were alone, it would be easy for you to sneak into the Fire Sect! Although you didn’t say it, you thought so!”

“So? Just because of this, you’re planning to go back to Carefree City alone? Do you know that you almost scared me to death!”

In a bad mood, Victor lowered his body and flicked Lian Hua’s forehead with some force.

“It hurts…”

Lian Hua held his forehead and looked at Victor with resentment. “What are you doing…”

“Punishment, punishment for leaving without saying goodbye.”

“Indeed, that was what I was thinking. If I was alone, everything would be much easier. That was the truth.

“But even so, I still worked hard to let you adapt to the life of an ordinary person. To me, infiltrating the Fire Sect was just a mission, but to you, it was a transformation!

“If you leave just like that, wouldn’t my efforts be in vain?”

“But…”

“There are no buts. You just don’t want to change and admit that you don’t have anything to be proud of. Otherwise, you should have chosen to infiltrate the Fire Sect with me instead of leaving this place.”

“I’m afraid that I won’t be able to do it well…”

“So what if you can’t do it well? At worst, I’ll just give up the shitty Rose Sword and kill everyone to vent my anger!”

Victor carelessly rubbed Lian Hua’s black hair and continued, “It wasn’t easy for you to meet me, and it wasn’t easy for you to escape from that cage-like place. Are you willing to go back just like that?”

“I’m not!”

Hearing this, Lian Hua burst into tears.

Yes, Lian Hua was prepared to die on the road, but she still could not convince herself to return to that cage.

She did not want to return to that ridiculous place where people came and went every day and used money to buy the so-called sincerity.

“So, instead of dying on the way back, why don’t you want to give it a try? If you fail, at worst, I’ll leave with you dejectedly, but if you go back, you’ll never be able to leave again.

“Plans can never keep up with changes. Perhaps after the Fire Sect incident is over, I’ll be troubled by other things. Do you want to wait for me in Carefree City for the rest of my life?”

“I don’t want to…”

“Then that’s it.”

Victor slowly reached out his hand and helped the young girl up.

“Follow me back. After leaving the Fire Sect, we will go to the Southern Plains. I will send you home.”

“Yes… But…”

“But what?”

Victor turned around in confusion, only to see that the young girl’s face was red. She lowered her head and did not say a word.

“What’s wrong?”

“On the way here, I sprained my ankle. Why don’t you carry me?”

“Allow me to refuse!”

Victor shook his head righteously, his attitude firm.

“Why?”

“Wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to enter the Small World?”

“I don’t want to. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t want to enter your Small World anymore. There’s not a single person to talk to. It’s too boring.”

“Now is a time when you have no other choices.”

“I want you to carry me!”

Lian Hua snorted. Her attitude was very firm. As long as Victor refused to carry her, she would not leave.

“I must have done some really bad things in my previous life to have met you…”

Victor sighed softly. He lowered his body and let Lian Hua pounce on his back.

“Let’s go back.”

“Okay…”

Lian Hua leaned on Victor’s broad shoulders and nodded gently.

“There’s one more thing.”

“What is it?”

“Leaving without saying goodbye is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. It will not happen again. If it happens again, I definitely won’t come looking for you.”

“You will.”

“I won’t.”

To be honest, Victor was a little flustered when he saw the letter. He stood rooted to the ground for a long time, not knowing what to do.

What if Lian Hua was in danger?

What if she was captured?

During the search, Victor kept letting his imagination run wild. When he saw Lian Hua, Victor finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Victor?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“You’re the one who has a problem! How can you talk like that!”

“Why did call me for nothing then?”

“I just felt like it! Am I not allowed to?”

“Whatever. Women are troublesome.”

Victor muttered under his breath. Lian Hua, on the other hand, covered her face and snickered.

“Victor?”

“What now?”

“I like you.”

“What’s wrong with… Wait, what did you say?”

Victor suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Lian Hua behind him.

However, in the next moment, Victor suddenly felt a refreshing fragrance. Before he could speak, he was kissed by Lian Hua.

“You, you, you! You gangster!”

“Tsk, you’re a big man, don’t act like a little girl.”

Lian Hua wiped her mouth and leaned against Victor’s shoulder. She could clearly feel her own heartbeat.

“Lian Hua, you…”

“Shut up! Focus on walking…”

As she spoke, the corners of Lian Hua’s mouth curled up, and a flash of joy appeared in her eyes.
