"Ai Xi, listen to me!"
"Mm, go ahead." Ai Xi replied gently.
"This Holy Bow is a family heirloom passed down from your Matriarch. I cannot accept it. As for you and the brothers and sisters of Matriarch, I will never forget them. Therefore, please take back this Spirit Killing Bow. "
Han Chen's words did not cause Ai Xi's expression to change, but on his delicate face, there was an unconcealable determination.
"If not for you, our Matriarch would have ceased to exist long ago. If he lost his tribe, what was the use of having a Holy Bow? Han Chen said as he stared straight at the other. The gentleness in his eyes seemed to be able to melt away any man's heart.
"You don't need to say anymore. If you don't want me to always have a debt in my heart, then please accept 'Burning Flame' and 'Spirit Kill' Holy Bow."
Han Chen could not find any reason to reject them. Even though these two gifts were extremely precious, in the end, Han Chen nodded his head and agreed to it. "Alright, I promise you."
Ai Xi smiled slightly and brought the Burning Flame Holy Bow in front of Han Chen.
Han Chen exhaled lightly and reached out to grab the Holy Bow in his hand. The moment he touched the bow, he felt a thick, scorching sensation on his palm.
"Buzz buzz!" The bow slightly trembled and let out a buzzing sound. The red flame surrounding the bow seemed to have become more restless. Layers of scorching air waves rushed towards Shi Mu.
Ai Xi looked at the Burning Flame Holy Bow with a surprised face, "This is really strange, this is the first time that the Burning Flame Bow has shown such a violent reaction! It seems like I was right to give it to you. "
"Heh heh, is that so? Are you sure it's not resisting? " Han Chen started to joke along.
"I don't think so. If you resist, it will burn your arm." Ai Xi replied.
Han Chen nodded his head, secretly marveling at the magic of these Blaze Holy Bow.
Han Chen could clearly feel the profound strength contained within the bow body, it was a strange feeling as though the Holy Bow was connected to him by blood. Han Chen immediately fell in love with this Holy Bow. Previously, after seeing the power of the Ice Holy Bow, Han Chen also had some expectations for this Burning Flame Holy Bow's killing power.
"Do you like it?" Ai Xi asked.
"Yeah, I like it." Han Chen replied without hesitation.
"I hope that when you see it in the future, you will think of me …" Ai Xi's voice paused, then said, "Our Matriarch."
"Definitely." Han Chen did not sense any special emotion from Ai Xi's tone, and after he carefully examined the Burning Flame Holy Bow, he suddenly asked. "Oh right, I'm a little curious."
"Go ahead."
"Are all seven Holy Bow in Matriarch not equipped with arrows? Are they just bows and no arrows? "
"Hmm?" Ai Xi was startled, he did not expect Han Chen to ask such a question. He thought for a moment, then opened his red lips and replied gently.
"In fact, Holy Bow always had a matching arrow in the past. However, you also know that bows and arrows are a type of long-ranged weapon. Very few arrows can be retrieved. Especially these seven Holy Bow, even if one were to shoot an arrow with all their Heavenly Completion Stage, they would be able to travel several hundred kilometers. And so, those arrows were slowly lost. "
"Not a single arrow?" Han Chen was a little surprised.
Ai Xi shook his head, indicating that he did not. Back then, when our ancestors established the Matriarch, the arrows of the Holy Bow were already lost.
Han Chen heard a bit of the past from Ai Xi's words. It seemed that this Matriarch was not a tribe that was born and bred in this world. Rather, it was their ancestors who had moved here, and through hundreds of years of development, managed to become the current Matriarch.
"So that's how it is." Han Chen could not help but feel that it was a pity, the seven Holy Bow s were so powerful, if they were equipped with arrows, their killing power would probably be more than just one plus one equals two.
"Right." Han Chen's eyes lit up, "Then can I refine the corresponding arrows?"
"Difficult, very difficult." Ai Xi gave a negative answer and a half.
Holy Bow s were different from normal bows and arrows. When releasing Holy Bow s, a large amount of power would gather together, and produce a violent fluctuation of power. Furthermore, ordinary wooden and metal arrows could not withstand the power of Holy Bow. Before the arrows were shot out, they were already shattered by the Holy Bow's power.
An ordinary arrow was like a cup of water; it could hold an entire cup of water. However, the power contained within the Holy Bow was equivalent to a large river. If they forced the river water into the cup, they would only be able to push the cup to the point of bursting it.
After listening to Ai Xi's narration, Han Chen nodded and shook his head. He thought that if he could endure the power of the Holy Bow, the strength of the arrows must at least be the same as the Holy Bow's.
"Do I have to use the materials needed to refine a saint artifact?" Han Chen's heart froze, he could not help but think of his storage bracelet of holding, the 'Flourishing Iron Tree'.
The Flowering Iron Tree was a very precious artifact forging material. Many grandmasters of artifact forging also used this material when they were forging their saint artifacts. If the arrow was made from an iron tree, he wondered if it could withstand the power of the Holy Bow.
"If I answer your question, can you answer one of mine?"
"What?" Han Chen recovered from his thoughts and looked at Ai Xi in confusion.
Ai Xi pursed his red lips and asked softly, "On the day that I chose my husband in the Frozen Plaza. You can clearly pull the 7000 jin heavy bow, but why? "
Ai Xi did not speak further, and just quietly looked at Han Chen.
Han Chen lifted his eyelids slightly, and replied without hesitation, "Because I can tell that you don't want to get married."
Ai Xi's pupils slightly trembled, and a beautiful smile bloomed on his beautiful face, moving like a pure white peony flower.
"Han Chen, can you promise me one more thing?"
"Go ahead."
"Let's leave tomorrow!"
"Alright." Almost without any hesitation, Han Chen agreed.
"Un, then you can go back first! If I have time tomorrow, I'll send you off. "
"Alright."
Looking at the back of Han Chen as he left the great hall, the smile on Ai Xi's face revealed a faint trace of undetectable sadness. He pursed his red lips tightly, and said in his heart.
"That's right!" At that time, I did not want to marry, but now … "
A day's time quickly passed by and they finally welcomed the moment of separation.
Han Chen's departure did not alert the rest of the Matriarch. Only Ai Xi, Ai Li and Luo Yan knew about it.
Outside the Matriarch, at the edge of the ancient path, the grass was bright and blue like the sky.
In front of Han Chen were Ai Li and Luo Yan, but they did not see any trace of Ai Xi.
"Han Chen, are you really going?" Ai Li's eyes were a little red as she pouted. Luo Yan was also not in a good mood, but she did not express it.
"That's right!" I still have a lot of things that I haven't done yet, but I'll come back and visit you guys when I have time in the future. " Han Chen smiled slightly.
"Sigh, but I really don't want to part with you."
"Did you hear wrongly!?" You should be reluctant to part with me because you can't find anyone to bully! "
"Nope." Ai Li lowered his head and muttered, "And who dares to bully you! I can't beat you. "
Han Chen smiled and shook his head, "Alright, I'll send Jun Qianli off now. I'm leaving. "
"You aren't waiting for Ai Xi?" Luo Yan asked quickly.
Han Chen still shook his head, "Yesterday, I went to see her before. She said he wouldn't come if he didn't have time. I think she'll be busy by now. "
Right after he finished speaking, a fairy-like figure walked over from behind Ai Li and her group.
The three of them were stunned as they looked over. Ai Xi appeared in their line of sight with a smile. Ai Xi was wearing a spotlessly white muslin dress, and her long skirt hung over the grass at the back. Under the illumination of the sunlight, Ai Xi's skin, which was as white as snow, seemed to be transparent.
Ai Xi's head was covered with a wreath of flowers, which exuded a faint fragrance. The current Ai Xi was like a bride waiting to be married, exceptionally beautiful.
Ai Li and Luo Yan both revealed incomparably shocked expressions. Han Chen, on the other hand, was a little dazed, his expression somewhat dazed and at a loss.
"I'll send you off." Ai Xi walked in front of Han Chen and said with a shallow smile.
"Me? This … "Han Chen was startled, and only regained his senses after a long while. He then laughed heartily and said," I had thought that you wouldn't come. But today you really are beautiful. "
Ai Xi's cheeks slightly blushed, "Thank you."
"Hmm, since you've come, it's about time for me to leave as well."
"Alright, take care." Ai Xi did not seem to be reluctant, he was relaxed.
"Take care."
Just as Han Chen finished speaking, Luo Yan suddenly rushed in front of Han Chen and gave him a simple hug.
"This is the etiquette of our Matriarch." Luo Yan immediately said to Ai Li and Ai Xi, "The two of you should also hug Han Chen! Give him your most sincere blessings. "
"Ah?" "What?" Ai Li looked confused. When did Matriarch have such strange etiquette? The moment Ai Li met Luo Yan's gaze, she immediately understood. Yes, yes, it's our Matriarch's etiquette. "
After he finished speaking, Ai Li also stepped forward and gently hugged Han Chen.
After that, Luo Yan and Ai Li turned their gaze towards Ai Xi who was at the side. Ai Xi smiled slightly, walked in front of Han Chen and said gently, "Then let's hug for a bit!"
"Alright." Han Chen did not think too much and did not suspect anything. He opened his arms and gently pulled Ai Xi into his embrace.
A fresh and fragrant smell filled his nose and breath. Ai Xi's delicate body was so soft that even if there was no bones left, he could not bear to let go when he was in his embrace.
Ai Xi leaned into Han Chen's embrace, his beautiful eyes closed, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
If only he could be eternal in this moment. At this moment, it would be great if it could freeze.
The sea of people, who was the passerby? Who left a deep mark on the bottom of his heart?
Ai Xi withdrew from Han Chen's embrace, his face still carrying a relaxed smile. "Alright, take care of yourself all the way here. Our Matriarch welcomes you to come back whenever you want to."
"Alright, I will definitely come back to visit you all." Han Chen laughed.
Han Chen's figure gradually went further and further away, and slowly became indistinct in their line of sight.
From start to finish, Ai Xi had a smile full of hope. However, what Han Chen did not know was that the dress she was wearing today, was only worn by the leader of the Matriarch when he was getting married.
From Ai Li's perspective, the current Ai Xi's appearance was faintly piercing.
"Why pretend?" Luo Yan opened her mouth and said, "Doing this, how difficult is it? Why don't you show your true emotions? "
Ai Xi's beautiful eyes moved about as he replied softly, "I knew that I couldn't keep him here, so I'll just let him go without any worries. Since he does not belong to me, I do not want him to leave with a burden. "
