Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 529 - 382: Destruction Storm

Li Xin slowly followed behind, her gaze always fixated on Luo Chen’s figure. The time spent together had gradually allowed her to understand Luo Chen’s multifaceted personality. At times, he was calm and wise, while at other times, he would become as fierce as a wild beast.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the silhouettes of the two gradually faded into the distance. Their journey continued on, and the road ahead was still long.

As she got to know Luo Chen better, a sense of awe gradually grew in Li Xin’s heart. She realized that this man not only had meticulous thinking and extraordinary calculation ability but also inadvertently exuded a heart-stirring battle spirit. As an excellent archer, Li Xin was well aware of the importance of battle spirit to a Warrior. In intense combat, a strong battle spirit can often unleash limitless potential, compensating for a lack of strength.

As night fell, Luo Chen came sweeping in like a whirlwind, soaked through, sweat dripping down his cheeks, yet carrying a sense of exhilarating delight. Watching his free and easy manner, Li Xin found it hard to understand. Even though she had long lived on the vast plains, she had never considered intense exercise a form of enjoyment.

"Should we set up camp and rest?" Li Xin asked as she saw Luo Chen plop down on the ground, panting heavily. Luo Chen glanced around and nodded, "Mm, this place seems suitable. There’s a water source, grass, and a cliff face to shield us from the sand and wind."

The two began to busy themselves, searching for an appropriate campsite. Eventually, they selected a flat area with their backs to a broken cliff. At this moment, Luo Chen had no reservations, directly summoning tents and good wine from the Demon Dragon Ring. He then gathered some dry grass and dead branches, quickly igniting a roaring campfire.

When everything was ready, the darkness had already enveloped the sky, the last trace of light vanished from the horizon. The orange-red flames danced in the dark, bringing a rare warmth to the cold desert. On the carpet by the campfire, food and wine piled high, resembling a small feast. The crystal cups, illuminated by the firelight, refracted a dreamy glow, captivating to the eye.

Luo Chen raised a cup of fine wine, taking a gentle sip, a content smile gracing his face. Li Xin sat quietly beside him, gazing at the dancing flames of the campfire, her mind filled with myriad thoughts. She couldn’t help but reevaluate this man, his strength, depth, and mystery evoking both curiosity and awe within her.

"What are you thinking?" Luo Chen suddenly broke the silence, asking gently. Li Xin was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, I was just thinking you are indeed an incredible person."

Luo Chen smiled softly, not saying much more. He reached out, picking up a piece of roasted meat from the pile of food, handing it to Li Xin, "Try it, I prepared this especially for you."

Li Xin accepted the roasted meat, taking a bite, immediately feeling its tender and juicy texture, the aroma overflowing. She nodded in satisfaction, "It’s really good, thank you."

The two enjoyed the food and wine beside the campfire, the atmosphere gradually becoming relaxed and pleasant. Li Xin discovered that being with Luo Chen wasn’t as difficult as she initially imagined. Although he was powerful and mysterious, he also had a considerate and thoughtful side. That night, they talked about many things, from combat techniques to the trivial matters of life, unwittingly closing the distance between them.

As night deepened, the campfire slowly dimmed. Luo Chen stood up, stretching lazily, "It’s getting late, we should rest early. Tomorrow, there’s an even longer road to travel."

Li Xin nodded, watching as Luo Chen began to tidy up the aftermath. She understood in her heart that this man was not only a strong Warrior but also a trustworthy companion. In this desolate, vast desert, having him by her side was undoubtedly a rare fortune.

Under the starry night’s canopy, the campfire light illuminating Luo Chen and Li Xin’s faces. The two sat around the fire, Li Xin looking at Luo Chen with amazement, her eyes filled with curiosity and admiration for this young man. In her view, Luo Chen was truly remarkable; not only did he possess extraordinary strength, but he also had a personality that was hard to fathom.

Luo Chen raised a cup of bright red wine, smiling as he handed it to Li Xin, "Come, a toast." His voice was gentle and magnetic, seemingly able to captivate one’s heart and soul.

Li Xin took the wine glass, gently clinking it with Luo Chen’s, "To a toast," she murmured, then drank it all down. It was the first time she tasted such wonderful wine, the liquid sliding down her throat, bringing an indescribable pleasure. Her face immediately flushed, even the fair skin of her neck turning a shade of pink.

After a few drinks, Li Xin was already bleary-eyed with intoxication. She looked at Luo Chen, her heart filled with gratitude, "Luo Chen... thank you... If... if it weren’t for you... I... I..." her words became somewhat slurred, but her eyes were full of sincerity.
