"Then I'll wait for you to protect me."

Feng Qianhuan smiled again.

This smile was unlike her previous ones. The tenderness in this smile dazzled Qianbei Xun's eyes and, unbeknownst to him, a hint of jealousy rose in his heart.

When will this woman smile at me like that?

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Just as Zuo Chen was displaying his determination to Feng Qianhuan, a large hand grabbed him and dragged him firmly away from Feng Qianhuan's side.

"Let me go, you b*stard, let me go!"

Zuo Chen struggled in Qianbei Xun's grasp and his little face was filled with anger as he cried out in rage.

"This fellow really lacks training." Qianbei Xun looked at the little struggling fellow in his grasp before he turned his eyes towards Feng Qianhuan. "Give him to me for a while. I shall return him to you brand new."

Feng Qianhuan nodded. "Alright."

She felt a sense of trust towards Qianbei Xun and believes that this youth would never hurt her.

"If you want to be powerful enough to protect her, be good and stop wriggling."

Qianbei Xun swept his gaze towards the little boy in his arms as he barked coldly.

Indeed, when Zuo Chen heard those words, he immediately stopped moving though his clear and limpid eyes were still filled with irritation and anger.

After he had spoken, Qianbei Xun took a single leap and disappeared from the courtyard...

...

They were in an uninhabited forest with the faint auras of spiritual beasts in it. However, there seemed to be something which the spiritual beasts feared and none of them dared to approach the pair who were standing in the forest.

"Why did you bring me here?" Zuo Chen pouted as he asked sulkily.

"I will use one part over a thousandth of my power to fight you. If you can defeat me, you win."

"What?"

Zuo Chen placed his hands on his hips in anger and glared viciously at the silver-haired youth, "Are you looking down on me?"

One out of a thousandth of his power? How minuscule was that? This youth seemed to be older than him by only a few years yet he was looking down on him? How could he tolerate this insult?

"I'm training you." Qianbei Xun glanced at the little fellow and spoke with cold arrogance, "Your power is vastly different from your sister's. On what grounds did you think that you'd be able to protect her? When you've finally grown to that point, would she still need your protection?"

Qianbei Xun was speaking the truth yet those words prickled into Zuo Chen's heart. He brandished his little fists and threw a punch at Qianbei Xun's beautifully handsome face.

Thud!

Though Zuo Chen had attacked Qianbei Xun with all his strength, Qianbei Xun only raised his hand and caught his little fist easily.

"You..."

Zuo Chen was enraged. "You're strong but you are bullying the weak. What kind of ability is that? I certainly don't believe that you had only used one over a thousandth of your power. I'm not going to fight you. I want to go home!"

Qianbei Xun curled the corners of his lips as his proud black eyes glanced at Zuo Chen.

"You want to know the true measure of my power?"

Zuo Chen was shaken but he nodded earnestly in the end.

"Alright, I'll show you!" Qianbei Xun smiled confidently.

He then raised his hand...

A sound which resembled a stampede of ten thousand horses could be heard. When Zuo Chen turned around to look, he was dumbfounded from fright.

Countless powerful spiritual beasts were running towards them from behind. Some flew in the sky while others crawled on the ground. There were even some which swam in the waters... The countless number of spiritual beasts caused Zuo Chen's heart rate to rise as panic clouded his adorable face.

"F*ck, there're so many spiritual beasts! Run, let's get out of here!"
