Chapter 362 : Adventure In The Human Realm (2)
"Shut up now, we don’t know whether the creatures are still alive or not," Gu Shengxia hissed at Wang Chunli.
"Huh? You dare to ask your shixiong to shut up, you rascal? Are you seeking death?" Wang Chunli playfully clamped his arm around Gu Shengxia’s neck in a mock chokehold, eliciting a squawk of protest from the man.
Gu Shengxia and Wang Chunli entered the sect on the same day, but Wang Chunli got to be Gu Shengxia’s shixiong because he arrived at the sect fifteen whole minutes earlier than Gu Shengxia.
While Wang Chunli rarely invoked his seniority, Gu Shengxia felt a constant prickle of injustice. Fifteen minutes! He couldn’t shake the feeling that his entire destiny hinged on those lost fifteen minutes. This was also why he had the constant urge to prove himself in front of everyone, particularly this shixiong who only became a shixiong because he came a little bit earlier than him!
"Shhhh, Shixiong, please be quiet!"
Gu Shengxia licked his lips in anticipation. Back in his original village, he used to be a capable hunter. Or at least his mother used to say that he was one. No one else ever did.
But hey, his mother did not have any reason to lie. If anything, she was the only person in this entire world who never hesitated from speaking the truth.
A sudden rustling of leaves in the distance snapped the two men to attention. With a ferocious roar that would have made even the most seasoned hunters slap their faces in shame, Gu Shengxia charged forward. Unfortunately, his enthusiasm seemed to outweigh his agility, as he tripped over a hidden root and went sprawling face-first into the undergrowth.
Thankfully, Wang Chunli proved to be of some use.
The man kicked off the ground with a burst of energy, launching himself skyward as his blue and white robe billowed dramatically behind him. While his newfound mastery of light foot skill allowed him to navigate the air with a degree of ease, his skill was still in its infancy stage.
He was more akin to a fledgling taking its first tentative hops than a soaring eagle. In a chase against an experienced criminal, his limitations might have proven insurmountable. But this time, his quarry was a mere child who shrieked in terror as soon as Wang Chunli’s imposing shadow engulfed him.
