Don't be in a hurry

Chapter 1248 I am the man of the future 16
Yu Bai was led by Xi Jue, and hid in a cave with the sound of water.

Yu Bai shook off Xi Jue and held his hand, which made Xi Jue a little embarrassed.

"It's raining heavily outside now, so let's take shelter here first." Xi Jue said, and found a big rock to sit down on.

Yu Bai then sat next to Xi Jue.

Yu Bai was breathing heavily, the surrounding temperature was extremely low, making her body stiff from the cold.

"Are you cold?"

"Fortunately..." Yu Bai became inexplicably cold even when he spoke, it seemed that she was really froze.

Xi Jue got up suddenly, "Where are you going?"

He looked around and saw twigs scattered on the ground.Xijue bent down, picked them up one by one, and came over with a pile of branches after a while.

"You..." Yu Bai watched as Xi Jue took out two flints, she knew what he was going to do.

When the flint touched, because of Xijue's skillful movements, the fire quickly ignited.

The sudden warmth made Yu Bai feel better.

Under the flickering fire, only the sound of burning branches filled the air, but Yu Bai and Xi Jue remained silent.

Silent, silent.

"Do you know why I hate you so much?" Xi Jue looked at the flames under his hand, his eyes reflected the light.

Yu Bai didn't speak, but expressed her concern with gaze, she wanted to know why.

"Actually, I'm not targeting you, but I care about your status as a goddess."

Yu Bai knew this, because Xijue was a celestial girl, so when they first met, Xijue was particularly unfriendly to Yu Bai.

"Among the tribes, although each tribe has a patriarch, what people really trust is not the patriarch, but the goddess."

Xi Jue finally set his sights on Yu Bai, "To be honest, I really don't understand why people would rather believe in empty gods than their own abilities?"

"I became the patriarch of the wild tribe at the age of 15, becoming the youngest patriarch in history, but I also know the stubborn thoughts in the hearts of the tribe."

"I agree with what you said." Yu Bai agreed with Yu Xijue, which surprised Xijue.

"But the goddess is not all nonsense, at least every word I said is true."

Xijue laughed when he heard this, isn't Yu Bai's words contradicting himself?

"What are you laughing at? Is what I said so funny?" Xi Jue treats Yu Bai's serious words so non-seriously. To be honest, she will be angry.

Xijue didn't continue to laugh, and his eyes fell back on the firelight, "If it's just because the power of the gods is higher than the power of the clan, it wouldn't make me hate you so much."

The wooden branch in Xijue's hand was broken by brute force without warning.

"When I was six years old, my parents were killed by the so-called theocracy. At that time, the goddess prophesied that I was a born king and would definitely lead the people to the era of prosperity."

He held the two broken branches tightly in his hands, "But before that, my parents must be sacrificed, because only then will the gods truly fulfill everything prophesied."

"That's why you hate celestial maidens so much, including me, the new celestial maiden, of course." It was an affirmation, not a negation.Yu Bai finally knew why Xi Jue hated her so much, it was because of this.

Xi Jue looked at Yu Bai, the resentment in his eyes gradually faded, "But you are very different."
