Chapter 445 Diamond · Light

Nighttime, in the White Birch Forest of the Calamity Shadow World.

Jiang Xiao, along with Wei Yu and the Starfall Squad, arrived at the White Birch Forest. Because Jiang Hua had been stationed here, accompanying the Hu Wei-Cang Lan family and the Hai Tianqing-Fang Xingyun family, she was very familiar with the situation in the White Birch Forest.

The White Birch Forest was thriving, and the tribe had expanded to more than three times its original size. The number of wildlings remained around three thousand, but the elderly and children accounted for half of the population, because... the young people in the village had all gone to fight in Central Jiji.

In fact, the White Birch Forest and the Ice Prayer Forest tribe located in the Liaodong region had already begun to work together. The male and female witches of the White Birch Forest, as well as the female archer captain Xia Wucha, were cooperating with the Ice Soul Tyrant Ice Soul to clear the boundary between Central Jiji and Liaodong within the Calamity Shadow Star.

Everything was developing in a positive direction. Every time good news came from the front lines, Chief Bu Lu, who was stationed in the White Birch Forest, would smile like a flower.

Fang Xingyun was overjoyed at the appearance of Wei Yu's team. Like Hai Tianqing, she was a teacher of Han Jiangxue, Xia Yan, and Gu Shi'an, and they had a good relationship in private.

The twins, Hai Yun'an and Hai Yun'ning, were born in the Flower Sea Pasture under the protection of these members.

Because of Jiang Hua's presence, Jiang Xiao didn't join in the fun.

At this moment, the members of the Wei Yu Brigade were resting in Jiang Xiao's home, waiting to participate in the bonfire party, while Jiang Xiao was sitting in his own courtyard, studying how to get his Star Pets to keep up with the pace.

Actually... this problem was easy to solve!

In this world, the one who spends the most wins!

Jiang Xiao looked at his skill points, and it was time to strengthen his pets.

Jiang Xiao first threw 30,000 points to the Black and White Candle Flame, upgrading the platinum-quality Impact, Coolness, and Light to diamond quality.

Without a doubt, increasing the Little Candle Flame's three-star skill benefit was the highest, because all the Star Pets that the Little Candle Flame relied on had these three Star Techniques, and they would also increase as the Little Candle Flame's Star Techniques improved.

The Impact, Coolness, and Light Star Techniques had finally completed a qualitative change at the diamond quality stage!

In the past, Impact was to use the head or body to bump into things, adding the attribute of "rampage" to a certain part, but now, this Star Technique had truly become "Savage Crash."

It was unstoppable, advancing with irresistible force...

Let's turn back time by half a minute.

Jiang Xiao held the Little Candle Flame in his arms, squatted on the ground, pointed forward, and said, "Little Candle Flame, use the Impact Star Technique!"

The Little Candle Flame suddenly closed its candle eyes tightly, and its two little feet "launched"!

"Whoosh~"

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, hurriedly looked up, and the Little Candle Flame in front of him had disappeared. A cloud of dust filled the road, and the distant fence was directly blasted out by this little fatty, creating a circular gap!

With a crash, it shattered, and the entire fence collapsed...

Jiang Xiao was startled and hurried over to pull the dizzy Little Candle Flame out of the collapsed fence.

The Hai family next door certainly heard the loud noise. Fang Xingyun, who was chatting intimately with Xia Yan, subconsciously looked up, but saw Jiang Hua reaching out to stop her, saying, "It's okay, I'm experimenting with Star Techniques. The wall collapsed, I'll fix it."

As she spoke, Jiang Hua got up and walked outside. Hai Tianqing also followed with a smile, saying, "Experimenting with what Star Techniques? Hitting the wall?"

Xia Yan responded to Teacher Fang's concern while secretly glancing at Hai Tianqing, who had followed.

Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment but didn't stop him.

The two came to the courtyard and looked into the eastern courtyard through the tree-covered wall, which was less than a person's height.

"Your Little Candle Flame is growing very quickly, is it..." Hai Tianqing's words paused slightly.

The members of the Wei Yu Brigade were resting in Jiang Xiao's home, but the Blind Girl stood at the door, silently guarding Jiang Xiao.

Hai Tianqing's eyes saw Jiang Xiao holding the Little Candle Flame and also noticed that there were people in the courtyard, so he couldn't help but look over.

With this look, Hai Tianqing was stunned.

It was a familiar figure, it was someone... he had almost forgotten.

Hai Tianqing was a very gentle person. He was now a husband and a father, so of course, he would suppress his previous emotions in his heart.

Some things didn't need to be deliberately forgotten. When he opened his eyes every day and saw Fang Xingyun, saw the two growing little guys, and saw his parents enjoying their old age, Hai Tianqing's eyes couldn't hold anyone else.

Family was Hai Tianqing's whole life.

The emotions of his youth and the impulses of his soldier career had long left him.

Hai Tianqing had never imagined that when that figure appeared in front of him, even if she was wearing a stone mask, he would recognize her immediately.

Jiang Hua didn't say anything, just silently used her Star Techniques to rebuild the courtyard wall.

And Jiang Xiao also seemed to be unable to see all of this. He continued to let the Little Candle Flame experiment with the Coolness Star Technique.

In the next moment, the q-bomb soft and smooth little fatty in his arms turned into a little ice ball.

Its jelly-like body was frozen stiff, and the candle flame on its head also turned into a thorough ice candle flame.

Jiang Xiao bent his finger and gently tapped the ice ball in his hand.

"Dong~" It made a crisp sound.

Jiang Xiao's expression was a little strange. In the future... he could use the Little Candle Flame to have a snowball fight!

If this ice ball hit someone's head, it could knock them out, right? A concussion was inevitable!

The Little Candle Flame turned into a thick ice lump, exuding cold air. What about the Star Pets that it relied on?

When the Buzzing Whale, Howling Dragon, and Humming Bear used the Coolness Star Technique, what would it be like?

It was summer, and even if the White Birch Forest was located far north, it was still a bit stuffy. The Little Candle Flame could be used as an air conditioner.

"Cool Hand Treasure." Jiang Xiao grinned and couldn't help but rub the Little Candle Flame, letting it return to normal.

"Hmm..." Changing from an ice lump back to jelly, the Little Candle Flame's body became soft again, very suitable for kneading and venting emotions, it was truly an essential divine pet for home travel...

At the entrance of Jiang Xiao's house, the Blind Girl was motionless, and Hai Tianqing was also staring at her, motionless.

Hai Tianqing seemed to be petrified. Until Jiang Hua repaired the fence and Jiang Xiao experimented with the Coolness Star Technique, this scene was still frozen.

"Cough." Jiang Hua walked past Hai Tianqing and coughed, saying, "The courtyard wall is repaired, I'm going in, Teacher Hai."

"Ah... ah!" Hai Tianqing came back to his senses, saw Jiang Hua's back, and turned his head again, but saw the woman in white standing in front of the house in the next courtyard, starting to walk into the house.

"Qiu Ci!?" Hai Tianqing took a step forward, grabbed the fence with one hand, and shouted.

The Blind Girl's footsteps paused slightly, and she finally turned around to look at Hai Tianqing.

"Whoa~" Jiang Xiao sighed softly. The candlelight on top of the Little Candle Flame in his arms directly "exploded"!

Not exploded as in bombing, but the picture was very burning!

Originally in the form of a faint candlelight, now, the Star power within the Little Candle Flame circulated, bursting out with amazing flames, soaring more than three meters high!

Jiang Xiao held the Little Candle Flame in both hands and quickly stretched forward, while leaning back, the dazzling candlelight even made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

Jiang Xiao only felt that what he was holding in his hands was no longer a candle flame, but a huge firework!

Diamond · Light!

On top of the Little Candle Flame's head, the blazing candle flame, more than three meters high, completely lit up the night, and also lit up the Blind Girl's dark ink eyes.

"Heh..." Hai Tianqing sighed softly. Under the white fireworks, he could see the woman's eyes clearly, just like when she left, in that pitch-black eyeball, he couldn't see any human emotions.

Why was Er Wei so concerned about the departure of San Wei? Perhaps... the main reason was this pair of eyes.

Ink eyes, with no pupils or whites, people couldn't see any emotions in them.

In Er Wei's eyes, San Wei's departure was cold, extremely ruthless, and indifferent.

It was a pure betrayal. No matter how Yi Wei and Si Wei interpreted it through the characters' personalities, it sounded like excuses and protection, and also like self-deception.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Xiao said softly. The Little Candle Flame reluctantly put away the flames and rubbed its body left and right, forcing Jiang Xiao's palm to caress its body.

Jiang Xiao also retracted his hands, which he had been trying to keep away, and hugged the Little Candle Flame in his arms, saying, "Don't be sad, I love you. It's because you're too dazzling that I pushed you away."

As soon as he said that, Jiang Xiao felt that the atmosphere was not right!

Under the dim sky, Hai Tianqing and the Blind Girl's bodies stiffened.

Jiang Xiao thought it was terrible. The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it to heart!

Jiang Xiao hurriedly rubbed his face against the Little Candle Flame's face, saying, "Master loves you."

What is the charm of language! Huh?

A simple address eliminates all misunderstandings!

I'm just playing with my pet. Who has the mind to interfere with your affairs?

"You're still alive. These years... in a different planet, um..." Hai Tianqing couldn't organize his words well, and his words were a bit stuttering.

At the door, the Blind Girl looked at him quietly. Her emotionless ink eyeballs, paired with the stone mask, made her figure standing in the dim sky look like a statue.

The evening breeze blew her white robe and black hair, adding a touch of vitality, but of course, only a touch.

"Xiao Pi didn't tell me that he found you." Hai Tianqing said, looking at Jiang Xiao, "When did you find her?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and didn't respond. He just threw another 30,000 points to the Humming Bear, upgrading its Round Bamboo, Ancestral Body, and Bear Ancestor Faith to diamond quality.

At this point, except for the "Silver · Negative State" Star Technique, all of the Humming Bear's other Star Techniques had reached diamond quality.

"A year ago." The Blind Girl said faintly.

Hai Tianqing turned to look at her. Finally, he heard that familiar voice again, but the topic was not about him.

"A whole year..." Hai Tianqing looked at the Blind Girl and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

The Blind Girl said lightly, "I heard that you have two lovely babies."

Hai Tianqing pursed his lips and nodded lightly.

Blind Girl: "And a gentle wife."

Hai Tianqing sighed deeply: "Yes..."

The Blind Girl's soft murmur lingered in the dim sky: "Congratulations."

"Xiao Hai?" The door of the Hai family's house was suddenly pushed open. Fang Xingyun stood at the door, looking at Hai Tianqing, and joked with a smile, "Why have you been out for so long? An'an and Ning'ning are crying for their dad."

Hai Tianqing turned his head and saw his beautiful and charming wife. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his head, walking towards the door: "Coming, coming."

Fang Xingyun stepped aside, letting Hai Tianqing enter the house, but stood at the door, her eyes swept over the fence and saw the Blind Girl standing at the door of the next courtyard.

Fang Xingyun was generous and polite, nodding and smiling at the Blind Girl, inviting: "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

The Blind Girl shook her head gently, equally polite: "Thank you."

Fang Xingyun didn't force it, with a faint smile on her face, saying: "Xiao Pi said that before we settled in the White Birch Forest, you had been here and were very familiar with it. Relax and treat this place as your own home."

Jiang Xiao held the Candle Flame, and the two little guys were shivering, not daring to breathe loudly...

The Blind Girl didn't respond any further, just turned around and walked into Jiang Xiao's house.

Fang Xingyun looked at Jiang Xiao, who was shivering in the next courtyard, and glared at him with a reproachful look in her beautiful eyes, then retreated into the house and slowly closed the door.

At the same time, outside the White Birch Forest tribe, by the flowing river.

Jiang Keli was preparing for the bonfire banquet, and the wildlings around her were coming and going, carrying melons, fruits, wine, and meat.

Jiang Keli squatted by the bonfire, adding firewood while humming softly: "Our youth is so hysterical..."

Not far away, Martha, who was lying in the river watching the stars, also hummed softly: "When I see you again, you are already a kind father..."
