When he fully realized everything that had just happened now represented, his heart was once again filled with shock.

The huge contrast in the power made Lu Lu clench his knuckles tightly.

When? When did Shi Xing become so strong??

“Xing Xing, are you about to enter the maturity phase?”

Shi Xing found a wooden bench in a secluded part of the tree garden and sat down, before he could speak, Lu Lu was the first to show a bright smile and talk.

Shi Xing didn’t know how to answer, but fortunately, Lu Lu didn’t really seem to want an accurate answer.

Seeing that Shi Xing didn’t speak, he accepted it as his acquiescence, “I heard everything you said.” 

The young man stared at Shi Xing with bright and clear eyes. 

Under the setting sun, there seemed to be a golden light entering his eyes, making them shine brightly.

It was so bright that just looking at it made Shi Xing feel that his eyes were burning and stinging with pain.

Once upon a time, what he liked most was Lu Lu’s hearty smile, which was warm, without any trace of haze.

After speaking, Lu Lu glanced left and right, and asked in a slightly low voice, “Are you really starving yourself??”

In his question, there was a hint of expectation that even Lu Lu didn’t notice.

“…” The distance between the two was too close.

Shi Xing pushed Lu Lu away, creating a little distance without showing any trace, and denied Lu Lu’s assumptions without any burden, “No.” 

Hearing this, Lu Lu laughed again, and sincerely said, “It’s fine if you don’t or I’ll worry about you.”

The words were solemn and natural, and under Lu Lu’s unblinking gaze, the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.

The setting sun made Shi Xing’s light blue eyes clearer. Looking at Shi Xing like this, Lu Lu felt emotions in his heart fluctuating.

Lu Lu asked with some rare anxiety, “Speaking of matching, Xing Xing, what do you think??”

Just after asking, as if thinking of something, Lu Lu took out something from his pocket and directly stuffed it into Shi Xing’s hand.

“Oh, by the way, I said I would give you something before. It just so happens that you have reached maturity.”

It was a handful of high-grade crystals, which were filled with rich and pure energy.

When Lu Lu met Shi Xing in the tree nest, he would often feed him crystals.

Feeling the surge of energy in his palm, Shi Xing had a complex expression.

The current Lu Lu didn’t hurt him, on the contrary, all he gave him was help and care.

Shi Xing had already forgotten how this habit was formed. 

Anyway, at first, he would refuse Lu Lu’s help but later when Shi Xing made up his mind to follow Lu Lu, he never refused his help again. 

But now…

Shi Xing handed the crystal back to Lu Lu again, and softly said, “Your elder brother didn’t bring back much of the high-grade crystal from the mine star, right? It’s too precious for me.” 

“Why do you…” Hearing Shi Xing’s refusal, Lu Lu felt weird and he didn’t remember telling Shi Xing the origin of the crystals.

Before he could think more, Shi Xing interrupted his thoughts, “Lu Lu, I don’t think we are a good fit.” 

At first, Shi Xing firmly wanted to refuse, but thinking of the kindness of the past he finally softened and tried to tactfully refuse.

If it was possible, Shi Xing still wanted the two of them to not owe each other in the future.

Hearing Shi Xing’s words, Lu Lu was startled, “What do you mean?”

Shi Xing directly looked into Lu Lu’s eyes and asked, “Have you ever thought… I might become your burden. Maybe in the future, you can’t afford me?”

Hearing this, Lu Lu was stunned again, and then laughed uncontrollably, “Xing Xing, are you kidding me? The Prince’s Mansion has many crystals and beast cores. How could it be possible to starve you?”

Shi Xing seriously said, “I am not kidding. There are indeed many ordinary crystals and low-level beast cores in the Prince’s Mansion, but what if I need more than that??”

“Lu Lu, what will you do then??”

Hearing the question, the smile on the corner of Lu Lu’s mouth froze.

The Blue Star people were fragile during maturity and needed a lot of pure energy to support the growth of their ability. 

After maturity, the more powerful a healer was, the more energy they would need during maturity.

From ordinary crystal to high-grade crystal. From excellent A-level beast core to S-level core.

But S-level beast cores were not widely circulated in the market, and beast cores beyond S-level could only be obtained on the battlefield.
