#163 - Who is this little girl?
Xu Ming's divine sense left the Baiwa Secret Realm.
When Xu Ming regained his senses, he saw Shengsheng looking at him with a mouth full of grease.
In front of her, the large pig leg had already been gnawed clean, leaving only a large bone, with not even a shred of meat left on it.
"Still not full?" Xu Ming asked.
Shengsheng nodded.
"Then wait a little longer, this one isn't cooked yet," Xu Ming said.
Shengsheng understood and nodded again.
Xu Ming looked at the little girl's stomach. After that one pig leg, it didn't even bulge.
What was her stomach made of?
Could her stomach really hold that much meat?
Xu Ming roasted another pig leg for Shengsheng to eat. Even if she wasn't full, it didn't matter. Anyway, this wild boar weighed over two hundred pounds, and if they couldn't finish it, it would just be left here.
Shengsheng finished two pig legs before her stomach finally bulged and she let out a satisfied burp.
Xu Ming also ate a little bit.
"Come here, I have something for you." After finishing the roast meat, Xu Ming beckoned to Shengsheng.
Shengsheng looked at him warily, then cautiously walked over.
Looking at Shengsheng's expression, Xu Ming wanted to laugh.
If he wanted to harm her, he would have poisoned her long ago. She was eating so happily before.
Finally, Shengsheng came to Xu Ming's side.
Xu Ming took out the floral mark from his small Qiankun bag.
This floral mark was red, in the style of plum blossoms, but unlike ordinary floral marks, this one was a bit like a tattoo sticker.
Xu Ming stuck the floral mark on Shengsheng's brow, then pressed it hard, poked it a few times, and finally peeled off the film. A plum blossom was now stuck to Shengsheng's brow.
Shengsheng looked upwards, wanting to know what Xu Ming had put on her forehead, but she couldn't see anything, so she kept rubbing it with her little hands.
"Don't rub it off," Xu Ming pressed down Shengsheng's little hand. "The thing I stuck on your brow can protect your safety. When you have the power to protect yourself, if you don't like it, you can use your spiritual power to wash it off."
"Ooh..." Shengsheng nodded as if she understood.
"Alright, it's late, let's go to sleep," Xu Ming said to Shengsheng, closing his eyes to meditate.
Actually, Xu Ming really wanted to sleep.
Although Xu Ming had already reached the Dongfu realm and didn't need to sleep, sleeping was the best way to restore physical and spiritual strength.
But Xu Ming had to keep watch, so he really couldn't fall asleep and could only use meditation.
Shengsheng sat in front of Xu Ming. Seeing Xu Ming close his eyes and remain motionless, she looked left and right, then reached out and gently poked Xu Ming's knee.
Xu Ming ignored her.
"Awoo..."
Perhaps feeling too bored, Shengsheng crawled to the side, curled up in a corner, and fell asleep, looking just like a little beast without a sense of security.
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Xu Ming opened his eyes, and his spiritual and physical strength had recovered a lot.
At least he wouldn't be defenseless if he encountered a magical beast.
Xu Ming looked at the curled-up little girl in the corner of the cave. Xu Ming walked over, intending to wake her up.
But as soon as Xu Ming got a little closer, Shengsheng curled up even more, her ears twitching.
"Wake up," Xu Ming patted her shoulder.
"Awoo!"
"Hiss!"
Xu Ming was not at all vigilant. Shengsheng suddenly turned around and bit Xu Ming's arm, her eyes filled with ferocity.
Blood dripped continuously from Xu Ming's arm.
As her consciousness gradually cleared, Shengsheng's eyes became clearer as she looked at Xu Ming.
Shengsheng blinked, released her teeth, took two steps back, squatted on the ground, lowered her head, and her eyes were full of guilt.
"Let's go," Xu Ming didn't blame her, stood up, and walked out of the cave.
Shengsheng looked left and right, her expression hesitant, but in the end, she still followed Xu Ming.
Shengsheng raised her head and looked at Xu Ming's arm, discovering that the wound she had bitten on his arm had already formed a scab.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xu Ming saw that Shengsheng was covered in sweat, so they rested for a while on a rock shaded by trees.
Xu Ming handed the water gourd to Shengsheng. Shengsheng took a few sips, and then Xu Ming took the water gourd and took a few sips himself.
But just as Xu Ming tilted his head to drink, he felt his arm itching, wet and moist.
Xu Ming turned his head and saw Shengsheng sticking out her tongue and constantly licking his arm.
"What are you doing?" Xu Ming asked.
"Awoo..." Shengsheng called out softly with guilt, pointing to the wound on Xu Ming's hand.
Xu Ming understood Shengsheng's meaning.
This little girl seemed to be apologizing to him, so she was licking his wound like a little beast.
"It's okay, I don't blame you," Xu Ming said. "But your bestial nature needs to be restrained a little, otherwise it will be more troublesome to walk among humans."
"Ooh..." Shengsheng nodded, lowering her head.
"Have you rested enough? We still have a long way to go," Xu Ming asked.
Shengsheng hurriedly nodded, jumped off the rock, and hopped a few times, indicating that she had a lot of strength.
Xu Ming smiled and continued to lead the little girl towards a city near Baiwa City.
"Brother Xu! Brother Xu!"
Just as Xu Ming hadn't walked far, Xu Ming heard shouts coming from the sky.
Judging by the sound, it seemed to be Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng.
Xu Ming was about to respond when he felt a powerful divine sense covering the sky.
Immediately afterwards, that powerful divine sense locked onto Xu Ming.
"Tzzt tzzt tzzt!!!"
Shengsheng, who was standing beside Xu Ming, also felt the powerful divine sense, baring her teeth nervously and growling, her hair standing on end.
"It's okay, they're friends," Xu Ming patted Shengsheng's shoulder, calming her down.
"Brother Xu! We finally found you!"
"Brother Xu, are you alright?"
Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng flew down from the sky with a middle-aged man.
"I'm fine, it's good to be alive," Xu Ming said with a smile, looking at the middle-aged man, "This is?"
"This is the Qingyang Prefecture Governor—Lord Wang."
Yuwen Xi introduced.
"Greetings, Lord Wang," Xu Ming bowed in salute.
"Hahaha, it's good that the Number One Scholar is alright, otherwise, this official really wouldn't know how to explain it to His Majesty."
Wang Jie was relieved to see that Xu Ming was still alive.
Xu Ming was the future consort of the Wu Kingdom. If something happened to him in his jurisdiction, he would definitely be blamed by His Majesty.
"Lord Xu, who is this little girl?" Wang Jie looked at Shengsheng.
This little girl was indeed human, and he didn't sense any demonic energy, but why did she have a pair of horns on her head, and her eyes were the vertical pupils of the Dragon race?
