The Ace Bodyguard

But no matter what happened, the person who dealt with the Female Boss would one day surface. Once he knew who the culprit was, Wang Xiao guarantee that he would definitely tear off the culprit's head and kick him like a ball.    

    

An hour later, the rabbit was already cooked. The fragrance of meat wafted in the air and attracted a few night hawks. After grabbing the rabbit meat, Wang Xiao chewed on it big mouthfuls of food. After being tormented for the whole day, he did not drink a single drop of water, so he was already exhausted. Wang Xiao's many years as a mercenary had made him accustomed to grief as a power. He had seen too much life and death and experienced too much helplessness.    

    

Once, after a brother was killed, Wang Xiao was negative for a very long time. Later, Female Boss told him that instead of giving up on himself and living in pain, it was better to turn sorrow into strength and train hard to take revenge for the people who passed away.    

    

At that time, Wang Xiao was only at the early stages of the Postliminary Realm and was not strong. However, under the Female Boss's encouragement, he trained diligently, turning his grief into strength. Finally, when he had reached the peak of his Acquired Stage, he went to find his enemies and killed them. Looking at his enemy kneeling on the ground and begging nonstop, Wang Xiao was in a very good mood at the time.    

    

Now, Wang Xiao had encountered the same situation a few years ago, and he remembered the teachings of the Female Boss. She could not be negative, she could not fail to recover, and he could not only live in sorrow.    

    

Training.    

    

Yes, training.    

    

Only by being powerful would he be able to protect the people around him. Only by being powerful would he be able to take revenge for the people around him. If he continued to be negative, one day in the future, even if he found out who the culprit was, he would not be able to take revenge because he was no match for the culprit. He would not even be able to protect his own life.    

    

After taking out the Fire-god Herb, Wang Xiao gently stroked it, and then placed it in his palm. Then, he began to circulate the Genuine Qi of the Nine-dragon Qigong in his body.    

    

Following the circulation of the Nine-dragon Qigong in Wang Xiao's body, the Fire Genuine Qi in his hand slowly flowed into his body. He wanted to absorb the volcanic grass from the Fire Genuine Qi.    

    

Once this type of medicinal herb left the place where it grew, within a few days, a large amount of energy would disappear. If one delayed it for a few more days, the effects would be greatly reduced. Therefore, Wang Xiao decided to use his Fire-god Herb to cultivate. He did not want to waste any more time, and only needed to delay for a few days before he could use his Fire-god Herb to cultivate.    

    

Because if that happened, the Fire-god Herb's power would be greatly reduced.    

    

Sizzle sizzle!    

    

Streams of blazing Genuine Qi, like countless spirit snakes, quickly flowed along his palm into Wang Xiao's body, and spread through every vein, every part of his body.    

    

Furthermore, after obtaining this kind of blazing Genuine Qi, the Genuine Qi in Wang Xiao's body had also reached a balanced state. The cultivation of the Nine-dragon Qigong, wasn't only difficult, it was also extremely difficult to advance. Because this technique contained the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, if one wanted to advance, they had to balance out all five types of Genuine Qi.    

    

As long as one of the Genuine Qi s did not reach the standard of balance, there was no hope of advancing. For example, Wang Xiao's other four Genuine Qi s had all reached the saturation point and were qualified to advance.    

    

However, the other attribute, the Genuine Qi, had not yet reached the qualifications to advance, and it would cause the five attribute Genuine Qi in his body to lose balance. While training in the Nine-dragon Qigong, the difficulty of Wang Xiao's promotion was countless times more difficult than others. Of course, once he advanced, his strength would be countless times stronger than other experts of the same level.    

    

Crash! *    

    

Red light seemed to have appeared around Wang Xiao's body, and it seemed as if it had illuminated the entire dark night sky. Under the illumination of these Genuine Qi, the originally dark night sky became extremely bright, just like daytime.    

    

Wang Xiao could also feel the changes in his body. The fire attribute Genuine Qi seemed like it could explode at any time, just like a Genuine Qi that was unstoppable. The Genuine Qi in his body had undergone a tremendous change as well. This change was a qualitative change, and not a simple one.    

    

Vaguely, Wang Xiao seemed to see the hope of advancing, as if he had found the feeling of advancing. However, it was as though there was a barrier that prevented him from crossing even a single step. After sensing such a change, Wang Xiao was extremely excited, he had never felt such a feeling before, that this was a sign of advancing in Innate Stage, as long as he seized the chance, he would definitely be able to do so.    

    

With that in mind, Wang Xiao continued to cultivate and did not dare to relax. He also did not dare to stop. However, after a few more hours of training, he still hadn't been able to advance. Not only that, as he trained longer, the feeling and comprehension of advancement became fainter and fainter. Not only did he lose his inspiration. This was a situation that made one want to cry, but had no tears.    

    

Although he was anxious, there was nothing he could do. The current Wang Xiao really wanted to grasp onto that sliver of insight he had just gained, and break through the final barrier, before leaping into the Innate Stage Expert s in a single leap. However, after trying a few times, he made a mistake.    

    

It was a thorough mistake. Even if he wasn't willing, what could he do?    

    

Whoosh!    

    

Wang Xiao spat out a mouthful of foul air, and opened his eyes at any moment. His deep gaze afterwards looked towards the pitch-black night sky. The St Helens Volcano at night was completely quiet. Aside from the occasional buzzing of the insects within the forest, there was not the slightest movement.    

    

Looking at the dark night sky by himself, Wang Xiao thought to himself about the reason behind his failure. The five Genuine Qi in his body had already reached a balanced state. Logically speaking, advancing to Innate Stage shouldn't be a problem.    

    

Could it be...    

    

Could it be because he didn't have enough enlightenment? Perhaps it was. It must be because he didn't have sufficient enlightenment, so he couldn't advance. Regarding the fact that he did not have enough enlightenment, Wang Xiao was helpless.    

    

This was because enlightenment was an extremely profound insight. This sort of insight could only be comprehended by one's will. Apart from understanding, other than relying on one's own comprehension, no one else was able to guide him. It looked like, he could only slowly comprehend it in the future, and only then, would he have the chance to level up his Innate Stage.    

    

Sometimes, it might just be a small matter, or it might just be a small matter that could lead to the realization of the true essence and spark the spirit of advancement. However, that tiny bit of Spiritual Light could not appear for three to five years, or even ten to eight years.    

    

To the promoted experts, the enlightenment was like a flame. Under the pitch-black night sky, a little light was guiding the lost pedestrians, allowing them to see their direction.    

    

Wang Xiao sat alone beside the bonfire, his emotions in a mess.    

    

The future of the Divine Monarch Sect, the unknown status of the Female Boss, as well as Yang Lei's indifference, all these things made Wang Xiao's heart fall into disorder. The Fire-god Herb in his hands had lost its luster. Wang Xiao casually threw the Fire-god Herb away and threw it into the fire. Because he had already absorbed all of the Fire-god Herb's essence, the current Fire-god Herb was completely useless.    

    

Sizzle sizzle!    

    

When Wang Xiao casually threw the Fire-god Herb in his hand into the fire, it released a burst of black smoke and turned into ashes. As he could not level up, and because he was not in the mood to cultivate, Wang Xiao could only stare blankly at the night sky as if he was in a daze. Who could understand the loneliness and worry in his heart.    

    

It was unclear whether the Female Boss was dead or alive, but if Wang Xiao really could let go, that would only be deceiving himself.    

    

"Female Boss."    

    

Wang Xiao sat beside the fire and muttered to himself while constantly calling out to his' Female Boss' in a soft voice.    

    

In the past, when he was on the brink of death countless times, it was the Female Boss who saved him. But now, when the Female Boss was at the edge of life and death, he was actually powerless to do anything.    

    

Rumble rumble rumble!    

    

In the originally pitch-black night sky, a clap of thunder could be heard. Then, a bolt of lightning swiftly streaked across the pitch-black night sky, illuminating the entire St Helens Volcano of the world.    

    

Was it going to rain?    

    

Wang Xiao muttered to himself as he raised his head to look at the night sky illuminated by the lightning. However, after the bolt of lightning disappeared, the originally lit up night sky immediately turned pitch black.    

    

Rumble rumble rumble!    

    

Rumble rumble rumble!    

    

…    

    

The sounds of thunder appeared again. Streams of fire energy were like flood dragons, sizzling through the night sky. Even though Thunder God wasn't big and there was lightning, there wasn't a single drop of rain.    

    

At that moment, Wang Xiao actually wanted it to rain so he could clear his mind in the rain. Although Wang Xiao wished for it to rain heavily, the rain had not stopped yet. After an unknown amount of time, under the St Helens Volcano, a red sun rose and once again, a new day arrived.    

    

After dawn, Wang Xiao continued to search the volcano for a few more hours. When he was still unable to find the Female Boss, he decided to return.    

    

Sigh!    

    

Wang Xiao let out a helpless sigh, this sigh, contained too much helplessness within.    

    

Forget it, let's go back.    

    

Since we are unable to find the Female Boss, and since we do not know if she is alive or dead, let us first return to the Huaxia. He would thoroughly investigate this matter in the future, but before that, she needed to increase his strength. In this world, if one had no strength, they would just talk to each other. If she didn't have the strength, even if she knew who the Chou family was, so what if the Chou family was standing in front of him?    

    

For example, if an ordinary person offended a nobleman, even if their close friends and relatives were killed by that nobleman, and that nobleman still acted like he was the boss, he would still not be able to take revenge. Before going down the mountain, Wang Xiao still had something important to do. This matter was extremely important.    

    

It was to bury all the members of the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group. When he first went up the mountain, because he only wanted to find the Female Boss, he only buried one of the dead, and only buried the brothers who had the best relationship with him. As for the rest of the members, Wang Xiao didn't have the time to manage them.    

    

Finally!    

    

After spending countless amounts of sweat, Wang Xiao finally buried all of the dead members of the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group together, completely burying them in the St Helens Volcano of the Jin Country. These graves had no tombstones or coffins, Wang Xiao could only find a place for them to stay, to prevent their corpses from getting bitten by insects.    

    

Standing in front of the tombs, and looking at the new tombs in front of him, Wang Xiao muttered to himself, "Brothers, I'm leaving, I'm returning to my country, rest in peace. Perhaps from now on, I will never come to see you again, nor will I have the time. Perhaps in the near future, I will fall into a worry-free slumber just like you. "    

    

After bowing deeply to the graves, Wang Xiao resolutely turned around and left. Wherever these people died, they would be buried. Actually, death was everyone's choice.    

    

No matter who it was, in the end, no one was able to escape death and escape the cycle of reincarnation. For thousands of miles, even now, the First Emperor of Qin was gone, and even the great Emperor of his generation, the monarch of great achievements, would not be able to escape death, let alone ordinary people like him. Humans' lives were always short and bitter. So what if they lived for a hundred years?    

    

Even if he lived for a hundred years, one day he would lie in a coffin and become loess. Not to mention 100 years of life, even 1000, 10000, to the billions of years of life on Earth, it was just a flick of a finger.
