First Trial For The Couple (1)

They traveled across the desert whilst taking stops regularly, Zi Hua like usual, set up the giant umbrella and handed water over to them.

"Xiao Li, I think we might've headed the wrong way..." Zi Hua said as she studied the map, oops.

"Yeah, we did" He Li went to check the direction with the compass.

"Now our journey is going to be extended, we could've gotten out of the desert in another 2/3 days, we can't run either since it'll only exhaust us"

"Why do you make it sound like my fault? Both of us were doing the directions!" Perhaps the several hours of suffering in the sweltering heat had gotten to her, she immediately exploded and rebuked when she heard his words.

"What? N-no, I wasn't saying it's anyone's fault, I was only offhandedly mentioning it" He Li quickly refuted.

"Oh really, offhandedly, huh? Doesn't that mean that you were thinking about that all this time?" Zi Hua's anger only rose, Zi Hua was usually calm and collected, even when she had a disagreement with her three spirit beasts, she only sighed helplessly, but her emotions got riled up when she was with He Li or it may have just been caused by the heat.

"No, of course not, could you stop trying to complicate the situation yourself?" He Li wanted to calm her down but couldn't take the chiding lying down, it seems that he had gotten affected by this heat too or was just more emotional while around Zi Hua.

"Me complicating the situation? It was you who started this, we shouldn't be arguing like this but instead be hurrying along our journey" Zi Hua reproached.

Under this scorching weather, no matter who you were, after a while, you would burst out in annoyance out of nowhere, it was already really commendable that they had managed to hold out until now, especially with them skipping quite a few hours of sleep the past few days, although they were cultivators and didn't really need to sleep, they were once regular humans and their bodies had kinda adapted to sleeping.

Who knew that their first lovers' quarrel would be under this kind of situation...

"We won't be arguing like this if we just kept our calm!" He Li rebuked.

"Kept our calm? I am calm, its you who isn't"

Xiao Shen and Xiao Ling seeing the perilous situation, organized themselves to execute one their previously planned 'performances'.

"Master, please don't split apart~"

"We want to be together for longer~"

Call them evil and sly, but they are willing to take advantage of their masters' love for them to get the two together.

The two's cries seemed to have cooled the two down and look at the circumstances that they were in.

Although they had got themselves back together, they hadn't forgotten about the argument and weren't willing to just forgive each other yet, only compromise.

The two did not want to see their artifact spirits down so they reached a silent compromising point and nodded to each other.

"Let's trace back to where we had split from the right path and then continue our journey"

"En" Despite being at strife with each other, their thought process was still on the same track, such affinity and compatibility was rare to see.

The two carried on their journey however the previous peaceful silence was replaced by indifference, sensing the change in atmosphere, Xiao Sha became down-hearted, although naive, he could still sense the surrounding people's emotions just like how human children could.

Nobody spoke, not even Xiao Shen and Xiao Ling.

They had suffered a blow to their confidence after witnessing their plan not having the affect they had anticipated, they had expected for their masters to immediately make up after seeing their emotional and moving act, but who knew that they had over-estimated their skills in affecting their audiences' emotions through acting...
