I've been reborn, who still chases the school hunk?

Lu Xuanxin looked back at Guijianchou, and seeing that he also had a serious expression on his face, she asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" Her eyes revealed a kind of care and warmth, as if at this moment, they were no longer just companions, but friends who cared about each other.

"Xiao Xuanxin, are you worried about me?" Gui Jianchou smiled casually and straightened his clothes. He tried to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone, but his eyes revealed a deep worry and self-blame. He knew that if he was stronger, he might be able to protect everyone better.

However, Lu Xuanxin ignored his teasing and turned to walk towards the unconscious Shen Longyuan at the foot of the mountain. Her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination, as if no matter what happened, she would not give up any of her companions. After all, they were all companions, so how could she just watch him do nothing?

Gui Jianchou looked at Lu Xuanxin's back, and his smile gradually froze. His heart was filled with regret and self-blame. He regretted that he had not pretended to be unconscious just now, so that he and Lu Xuanxin could take care of Shen Longyuan together. But it was too late to say anything now. He could only hope that they could get rid of this golden mad lion as soon as possible and then take the Golden Source Fruit safely. He took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination, as if he was ready to fight again.

"Awoo!" With a deafening roar, the golden lion roared again, its eyes like burning flames, flashing with madness and wildness. A strong fishy wind instantly filled the air, as if one could smell the breath of death. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a dazzling golden blade, shooting straight at Lu Xuanxin. The light was like lightning that cut through the night sky, carrying destructive power.

However, strangely, Lu Xuanxin was not hurt at all. She stood there, tall and straight, like a pine tree that stood firm in a storm. She was about to turn around and leave, her eyes revealing a kind of indifference and calmness, as if she had expected all this.

"Xuanxin, be careful!" Gui Jianchou's eyes were always fixed on Lu Xuanxin, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety. Hearing the roar, his face suddenly changed and he shouted in fear. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he suddenly jumped and pounced on Lu Xuanxin, blocking the fatal blow with his body. Without any hesitation or retreat, his movements were as fast as lightning, full of determination and courage.

With a "puff!" sound, Gui Jianchou fell on Lu Xuanxin. His back seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining his clothes red. Then, he fainted and fell into Lu Xuanxin's arms. The warm blood splashed on the back of Lu Xuanxin's neck, making her body tremble slightly, and unspeakable grief surged in her heart.

Lu Xuanxin hurriedly pushed away Gui Jianchou who was pressing on her, but found that he had lost consciousness. She gently put him on the ground, stood up, and looked at Gui Jianchou's handsome face, which was pale due to excessive blood loss, and his eyes were closed. Her heart felt heavy as if a big stone was pressing on it. Her eyes were full of complex emotions, with gratitude, worry, and deep sorrow.

She quickly checked Gui Jianchou's pulse and found that his breathing was disordered and his internal organs were severely damaged. In a hurry, Lu Xuanxin quickly took out the healing medicine given by Zihuang from her arms. The pill exuded a faint fragrance, as if it could soothe the pain in people's hearts. She carefully fed it to Gui Jianchou, hoping that the pill could save his life.

Then, she turned Gui Jianchou's body over and saw the shocking bloody hole on his back oozing blood. Her heart tightened again. She knew clearly that the attack was originally aimed at her. Although she might not be injured, Gui Jianchou's act of sacrificing himself to protect his master was deeply imprinted in her heart. Her eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if at this moment, she had made some kind of resolution.

Lu Xuanxin took out the precious spiritual spring water from the bracelet. The water was clear and transparent, as sweet as a mountain spring. She gently cleaned Gui Jianchou's wound and took out the broken pill to apply on it. The pill emitted a faint light, as if it contained magical power. The bleeding stopped soon, and she was slightly relieved. She spread a piece of monster skin for Gui Jianchou to lie on and rest. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was treating a precious treasure.

"Why are you so stupid? That mad lion can't hurt me at all." Looking at Gui Jianchou's gradually calming face, Lu Xuanxin whispered to herself. There was a hint of helplessness and emotion in her voice, as if she was both moved and helpless by Gui Jianchou's infatuation. She stood up and stared coldly at the still roaring golden mad lion with a sharp gaze: "Since you want to die, then I will grant you your wish." Her voice was cold and firm, as if it was the voice of the god of death coming from the underworld.

Lu Xuanxin quickly formed a seal, and a blazing flame surrounded her body. The flames rolled like a fire dragon, as if to devour everything. She was as majestic and noble as a fairy who walked out of the fire. The flames seemed to have life under her control. Fire overcomes gold. For the Golden Lion, fire is its nemesis.

"Go!" With a clear shout, Lu Xuanxin condensed the flames into raindrops and shot them at the mad lion. The flames streaked across the sky like a meteor, carrying destructive power. Seeing this, the mad lion showed fear. It stomped the ground into a pit and tried to pounce on Tianying, Lu Xuanxin's partner, with its huge body. However, its movements seemed a bit slow and clumsy.

"How dare you, a beast, be so presumptuous!" Lu Xuanxin was furious, and murderous intent suddenly rose. The flames seemed to have a spirit, chasing the mad lion, as if to devour it completely. Fengying moved silently, and Lu Xuanxin followed closely and pounced in the direction of Tianying. Her figure was as fast and agile as a ghost.

At this moment, Gui Jianchou, who was in a coma, suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. When he saw the fierce battle between Lu Xuanxin and the mad lion, he was dumbfounded, and his heart was full of doubts and worries. He didn't know why he was here, and he didn't know what would happen next. However, his heart was full of trust and dependence on Lu Xuanxin, as if as long as she was by his side, everything would be fine.

Tianying was awakened by Lu Xuanxin's call. It was trying to avoid the attack of the mad lion, but its movements became sluggish due to the pressure. Its eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if it was facing an irresistible enemy. However, it did not give up the idea of ​​resistance, but just silently waited for Lu Xuanxin's instructions.

"Sizzle!" The flames fell on the mad lion's body, instantly igniting its hair and making crackling sounds. The flames wrapped around the mad lion's body like a poisonous snake, burning its skin and flesh. The mad lion's huge body had already approached Tianying, like a mountain pressing down on it. Its eyes were filled with madness and bloodthirstiness, as if it wanted to completely devour Tianying.

"No! Sister, get out of the way!" Seeing Tianying about to fall into a desperate situation, Lu Xuanxin was so anxious that her eyes were about to burst, and she shouted loudly. There was a hint of anxiety and helplessness in her voice, as if at this moment, she had also lost her usual calmness and composure. However, her heart was full of love and protection for Tianying, and she didn't want it to be hurt in any way.

However, in despair, a figure quickly surpassed Lu Xuanxin like a cannonball, hugged Tianying and rolled to avoid the attack of the mad lion. The figure moved swiftly and decisively, as if at this moment, he became the guardian of Tianying. He hugged Tianying tightly and used his body to block all attacks and dangers for it.

"Puff!" The mad lion fell heavily to the ground, creating a huge pit several meters deep. Dust flew everywhere, as if at this moment, the whole world was shocked by its power. Tianying and the mysterious man who saved it were thrown far away, their figures looming in the dust, as if they would be swallowed up at any time.

Lu Xuanxin arrived quickly, drew out her long sword, infused it with fire spirit power, and fiercely stabbed the mad lion in the dust. Her eyes were full of determination and coldness, as if at this moment, she had already put life and death aside. The long sword easily penetrated the body of the mad lion, and its body trembled wildly with its painful roar. Although Lu Xuanxin is now a strong spiritual master who can compete with a one- or two-star great spiritual master, she still seems to be a little struggling when facing a beast like the mad lion. Especially since her attack did not hit the vital parts of the mad lion, it only caused some superficial injuries.

"Roar, roar, roar--" The mad lion turned around and glared at Lu Xuanxin like crazy in pain, and pounced on him again. Its eyes were full of anger and bloodthirstiness, as if it wanted to devour Lu Xuanxin completely. Lu Xuanxin was extremely angry. She couldn't let the mad lion hurt Tianying or anyone else. Her spiritual energy was boiling, her clothes fluttered, and her long sword turned into flames and collided fiercely with the mad lion.

"Boom--" A loud noise was heard, like a bomb exploding, and the sky was covered with dust and air. The fierce battle between Lu Xuanxin and the mad lion seemed to have reached its climax at this moment. She did not give the mad lion any chance to breathe. After the dust settled, she swung her two swords again and violently bombarded the mad lion's body. Her movements were as fierce and fast as a storm, and the mad lion could not resist at all.

"Ah-woo!" Under the continuous attacks, the roar of the mad lion gradually weakened and finally returned to silence. A thrilling battle finally came to an end. Lu Xuanxin stood on the battlefield and looked at the fallen mad lion. An indescribable sense of pride and victory surged in her heart. She knew that she won this battle not only for herself but also for Guijianchou and Tianying to win the right to survive and dignity.

Lu Xuanxin fell to the ground suddenly, but her figure stood firm like a pine tree. She panted slightly, her eyes flashing with unyielding and anger, staring at the source of the sandstorm, as if she wanted to see through it. Her long hair was messy in the wind, but it added a bit of heroic spirit. The sand and dust gradually dissipated, and a breeze blew gently. A strange smell of burning filled the air, revealing the huge golden lion. But it was no longer majestic, but its skin and flesh were charred and lifeless. The eyes that once flashed with fierce light were now wide open, unwilling and fear intertwined, as if telling its last regret - if it had known that there would be such a result, it would rather give up the tempting golden source fruit than be an enemy of Lu Xuanxin, who was called the "witch".

After confirming that the mad lion was dead, Lu Xuanxin's tension eased a little. She hurriedly looked for the person she had just saved at that critical moment - Tianying. "Sister Shuang, are you okay?" She asked anxiously while running towards Tianying, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of concern. Tianying had a dull face and empty eyes, as if she had not yet recovered from the thrilling experience. After a while, she slowly raised her head and said to Lu Xuanxin: "Xuanxin, come here quickly, Shen Longyuan is seriously injured and unconscious."

It turned out that the one who saved Lu Xuanxin was Shen Longyuan, who was seriously injured and unconscious at the moment. He was far away, but when he saw the mad lion pounce on Tianying, his spiritual energy burst out instantly and rushed over like an arrow from a bow, which saved the two of them. Lu Xuanxin was full of gratitude to Shen Longyuan. She knew that if it weren't for Shen Longyuan, Tianying would probably be in danger at this moment. She gently felt Shen Longyuan's pulse and found that he burned his original vitality in a hurry, so he was able to arrive quickly. Tianying didn't know all this yet, and her eyes were full of worry and confusion.

Lu Xuanxin took out the five-star healing pill given by Zihuang from his arms, handed it to Tianying, and asked her to give it to Shen Longyuan. At this time, Gui Jianchou also arrived, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "How is Shen Longyuan?" Lu Xuanxin looked at Shen Longyuan worriedly, helped him sit down, and after checking his pulse again, he found that his internal injuries were gradually getting better, and he was slightly relieved.

"Thank you, Jun." Gui Jianchou looked at Lu Xuanxin's beautiful face and elegant manners, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. His eyes were full of complex light, with gratitude, admiration, and a hint of tenderness that was not easy to detect. At first, he might have been just curious about Lu Xuanxin, but now it has turned into a sincere emotion. Lu Xuanxin noticed his gaze and glared at him with a slight reproach. She didn't want to bear any unjust reputation. Her eyes were clear and firm, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Seeing this, Gui Jianchou hesitated to speak. He was afraid that his confession would cause Lu Xuanxin to be disgusted, so he decided to stay with her silently and wait for her to understand his feelings. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner fluctuations. Lu Xuanxin felt his gaze and felt flustered. She avoided his sight and said, "You take a rest first, I'll go get the Golden Source Fruit." Her voice trembled slightly, obviously trying to cover up her inner panic.
