Shen Xi Meng picks up the chopsticks and starts eating.
"It's better than I thought..." Shen Xi Meng muttered under his breath.
Compared to his burnt scrambled eggs he makes back on Earth...
Just thinking about his culinary skills, Shen Xi Meng shivers. He totally should always stay away from the kitchen or it might blow up.
Taking another mouthful of rice with eggs, Shen Xi Meng said calmly while food still in his mouth, "Aren't you coming out?"
Shen Xi Meng expressionlessly glances at a direction where there was a big tree not too far ahead of him. Although he couldn't see the boy, he knew that Qing Yuan was hiding behind that tree.
Shen Xi Meng had activated the cold powers within his body after all. It was unlike before when he was concealing more than 90% of his powers within his body, making him more like an ordinary mortal.
Qing Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He still had the World Stone of Invisibility on him so even if Shen Xi Meng could tell where he was located, Shen Xi Meng still wouldn't be able to see him.
Moreover, after Shen Xi Meng decided to release his full potential, Qing Yuan could feel that familiar aura emitting out from Shen Xi Meng's body.
After Shen Xi Meng finished with the meal, he gently puts down the bowl and chopsticks on the table and stood up.
Qing Yuan looks at Shen Xi Meng's actions carefully. However, just after he blinks, Shen Xi Meng was gone from his original spot!
A cold aura appeared behind Qing Yuan as Qing Yuan didn't need to ponder twice before dodging. After he dodged, the tree that was standing next to him was sliced in half like butter.
As the big tree fell down to the ground, Qing Yuan saw Shen Xi Meng holding onto a beautiful ice cold sword in his hand. A faint cold glint emitted from the sword, reflecting its owner's personality.
A smile appeared on Qing Yuan's face. So Shen Xi Meng is finally getting serious.
It was at that moment that Shen Xi Meng said slowly with a low voice as cold as ice, "Do you want to come out yourself or do you want me to help you come out?"
Qing Yuan finally responded back to Shen Xi Meng with a calm tone, "If you can catch me, I'll come out."
"Oh?" Shen Xi Meng raised his eyebrow with interest. "Then I'll go all out."
Qing Yuan didn't reply back. He kept a smile on his face before he turned to run. At that moment, Shen Xi Meng also made a move and run after Qing Yuan.
It was as if both of them were playing tags and Shen Xi Meng needs to catch Qing Yuan. Although Shen Xi Meng looks calm on the outside while running after Qing Yuan, inside he was cursing.
F*ck! Why is that kid so fast?!
Shen Xi Meng reaches out with his hand, hoping to at least grab the invisible Qing Yuan while they were still running. His perception wouldn't lie to him at the moment and Shen Xi Meng knew Qing Yuan was only a foot distance away from him.
However, just as Shen Xi Meng was about to touch Qing Yuan, something suddenly grabs onto his ankle and Shen Xi Meng fell down!
Shen Xi Meng angrily looks down and saw that there were vines holding tightly onto his feet. Without another second to waste, Shen Xi Meng cut it into pieces with his sword and got up quickly to catch up to Qing Yuan.
After running after Qing Yuan again, Shen Xi Meng saw that the distance between the two of them was now 4 meters apart. Shen Xi Meng didn't mind as he lifted his sword and slash out two times.
Immediately, two tall thick walls of ice appeared on both Qing Yuan's side, only allowing Qing Yuan to continue running forward. The path in front of Qing Yuan wasn't straight either. It was as if Shen Xi Meng deliberately carved a path for Qing Yuan to run on as Shen Xi Meng chased from behind.
This made Qing Yuan quite interested in what Shen Xi Meng is about to do next.
When Qing Yuan continues to run forward, he suddenly found that the two walls of ice ended when he reached the river. Immediately, he understood Shen Xi Meng's plan.
Shen Xi Meng didn't waste time. He immediately waves his hand as the water from the river surged upwards, forming the shape of a large water dragon as it flew towards Qing Yuan.
This scene caused Qing Yuan to stop in his tracks. Just as Qing Yuan raised his hand up and about to do something, Shen Xi Meng suddenly jump up and kick Qing Yuan with his foot!
Qing Yuan at that moment had on an expression where he wanted to curse Shen Xi Meng up to his nine whole generations.
This kick made both Shen Xi Meng and Qing Yuan fall into the water as the water dragon also strikes at the same time.
But, with Shen Xi Meng's precise control, the water dragon didn't hurt any one of them and instead, it's water properties surged at them like a small wave.
The current made Qing Yuan's grasp on the World Stone of Invisibility loosened as the stone got swept up with the current. This allowed Shen Xi Meng to finally saw Qing Yuan's figure once the water around them became calm again.
"Got you!"
Shen Xi Meng grabbed onto Qing Yuan's hand tightly as the both of them were standing in the shallow part of the river that only reaches up to their waist.
Shen Xi Meng was out of breath as his face was pale. He had used too much yuan qi and his cultivation level still isn't high enough for him to use these attacks freely. It made him feel weak as well as it left him trembling.
But, Shen Xi Meng didn't pay attention to his current state. Instead, he was looking at the boy that is already close to looking like a teenage boy. The boy in front of him wore a black robe. The snow white skin, as well as that flawless face, would make anyone feel ashamed of their own appearance.
This made Shen Xi Meng felt like he was dreaming. Just where was it? It was as if he knew that boy in front of him for so long now. But, how?
Shen Xi Meng was just about to say something and took a step forward but before he could even do so, he felt limp around his legs and fell forward.
Fortunately, Qing Yuan caught Shen Xi Meng in his arms on time and had on a smile. "Just so you could catch me, you're risking your own health?"
Shen Xi Meng glares at Qing Yuan. "Because of you. It's all....your fault."
Shen Xi Meng's eyelashes trembles as he lowers his eyes. A throbbing headache made him frown as he leaned against Qing Yuan's chest. He put all his weight on Qing Yuan as he closes his eyes and fell asleep.
At that point, the wall of ice broke into small pieces and fell down from the sky like snow. Qing Yuan held the unconscious Shen Xi Meng in his arms while both of them were still in the shallow river.
It was silent, except for the flow of water and the sounds of nature. Making the scene peaceful with two boys in the middle of all this.
