Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 70 Let Me Be Your Squire
Bai Xi's voice wasn't loud, but her words seemed to have some kind of magic.

Before she could finish speaking, Sheng Cai'er's short blade was already aimed at Chen Ying'er's throat.

At this point in the match, Saint Cher finally gave up the bamboo staff and used her real weapon, which greatly enhanced her strength.

Thus, the four finalists were determined.

"I hope that in tomorrow's draw, I must draw Yang Wenzhao, I must draw Yang Wenzhao, I must draw him."

As soon as the top four were announced, Long Haochen kept muttering about how he had drawn Yang Wenzhao.

To this end, he even picked up the little green dragon on Bai Xi's wrist, waking the young dragon from its sweet dream.

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, I'm sure I'll draw Yang Wenzhao in tomorrow's lottery, right?"

Xiaoqing opened her sleepy eyes, the water in them making her look a little pitiful, and she yawned sleepily.

A blue bubble was blown out and hit Long Haochen's face before bursting.

Xiao Qing gave Long Haochen a resentful look, then brushed his tail against the back of Long Haochen's hand, as if retaliating against him for waking him up.

"Xiaoqing agreed, and you'll get what you want. But right now, Xiaoqing keeps calling you mean, haha."

Bai Xi snatched her little green dragon back from Long Haochen and conveyed Xiao Qing's message with a smile.

"He will draw Yang Wenzhao, so will we draw each other?"

Looking at the little blue dragon that had wrapped around Bai Xi's wrist again, Sheng Cai'er said in a somewhat dejected tone.

"This……"

Long Haochen hesitated, unsure of what to say.

There are only four people in the competition, and the three of them will inevitably face each other.

There's a high probability that Sheng Cai'er will draw one of the siblings. If she draws Yang Wenzhao, it means the two siblings will meet sooner...

"Don't you want to meet me? I've been wanting to spar with you, Cai'er, for ages. I just learned a little something from you guys, but I don't even know if I've mastered it well enough!"

As Bai Xi spoke, she grabbed one of Sheng Cai'er's arms and began to act coquettishly.

"If we really are a team, you have to play, just to give me some pointers."

"it is good."

Hearing Bai Xi say this, Sheng Cai'er suddenly felt that being drawn against her wasn't so hard to accept.

The three continued walking towards the hotel, as it was closer to the training grounds. In order to be in better condition for the competition, Bai Xi and Long Haochen both chose to stay at the hotel.

Bai Xi had only been in the room for a short while, and was just about to activate the magic array to cultivate, when a rhythmic knocking sounded at the door.

"It's you? Is there something you need?"

Bai Xi looked at the person at the door, not understanding why he had suddenly come to find her.

That person was none other than Zhou Zhou, whom Bai Xi and Long Haochen rescued in Haoyue Forest a few years ago when they first went on a long trip.

He also participated in the Demon Hunter Team selection competition and achieved a top-sixty ranking.

"I want to repay the life-saving grace I received that day."

Zhou Zhou immediately said what he had prepared for a long time, very directly.

"Let me be your squire."

He was direct, which only surprised Bai Xi.

"Are you talking nonsense? There's no need to go to such lengths to repay a debt of gratitude."

Bai Xi's first reaction was to refuse.

Although she had already signed a squire contract with Li Xin, this was completely different.

"As for it." Zhou Zhou's expression was full of nostalgia, and he actually started talking about the past with Bai Xi.

"That day, when I woke up and didn't see you, I thought something had happened to you."

"My only regret is that I'm too weak and have dragged you all down. All these years, I've been desperately cultivating..."

Upon hearing Zhou Zhou recount his reaction and actions back then, Bai Xi couldn't help but nod.

She believed this was the right thing to do.

Only by striving to become a better version of yourself can you live up to the sacrifices or help of others.

However, Zhou Zhou quickly changed the subject and brought up the matter of the squire knights again.

"When I saw you in the training ground, I finally found the meaning of my efforts and the meaning of becoming a guardian knight."

"That means becoming your squire, protecting you with my life to repay the debt of saving my life that day."

"This thought came to me the moment I saw you again. But I've been hesitant, afraid to bother you, fearing you'd think I wasn't good enough. Young Master Long's squires are all fifth-tier professionals..."

Bai Xi never intended to formally recruit squire knights; she only signed a contract with Li Xin to mention Li Xin's talent.

Facing Zhou Zhou's sincere yet stubborn gaze, one can't help but feel a bit of a headache.

“You are different, and Chenchen and I are different too.”

Bai Xi sighed and still refused.

"Your life should be the same as it was before you met me again, not as my squire, risking your life to protect me in order to repay some debt."

"If you want to repay a debt of gratitude, you'd be better off doing more good deeds once you've become powerful."

Although Bai Xi refused again, Zhou Zhou's expression clearly showed that he had not given up.

Bai Xi then prepared to deceive him.

"Besides, look, you've already made it into the top sixty, you're going to be part of a guild. We're both knights, destined not to be in the same guild, so how can you sign a squire contract with me? Other demon-hunting guilds wouldn't need someone else's squire knight as a member!"

She hoped to use this to dissuade Zhou Zhou from his wishes.

However, Zhou Zhou's words made Bai Xi realize what a headache was.

“I can give up the chance to form a group, or I can fake my death. Anyway, I’m already an orphan, with no relatives, no teachers, and no friends.”

"No, no, no! Please don't do this! It really doesn't have to be like this, really! What happened back then was just a small favor for me. You don't have to make such a sacrifice for what happened back then."

"But I am willing to do so."

Zhou Zhou looked directly at Bai Xi with pleading eyes.

You'll never know what your presence, your small act of kindness, means to me.
That day, I lost all my relatives and friends. Just when I thought I was going to die, your appearance was a ray of light, the last ray of light on my dark path in life.

"But she didn't want to."

Unable to hold back any longer, Long Haochen pushed open the door and went out, his face slightly grim.

He lived next door to Bai Xi and listened to the whole thing.

As soon as he opened his mouth, two more doors appeared on the other side, and unable to resist his curiosity, he opened them.

Li Xin and Han Yu lived there separately, and both of them had a hint of embarrassment on their faces from eavesdropping.

"It wasn't just Xixi who saved you back then, it was me too. If you want to repay the favor, you can come to me, not Xixi."

Long Haochen's reaction was a little bit over the top.

Because of Zhou Zhou's act of volunteering to be Bai Xi's escort knight, Long Haochen, the ultimate sister-obsessed brother, automatically imagined it as something else entirely.

"I will repay your life with my body."

Don't even think about it, there's no way you'll get away with it!
