Xiao Qiang never thought himself to be bound by the mundane, but now he found himself compelled to protect her, utterly refusing to believe that he, whose heart was as rigid as a rock, could be tangled up over a woman like this.
It's simple really. Because of that apple, because of that first kiss, and even more so due to that confounded happiness poison.
While he seemed indifferent, he knew in his heart from the first day he arrived here that sooner or later he would face Long Jingtian. If he didn't want Miao Ke'er to be harmed, he had to kill Long Jingtian.
He initially thought Long Jingtian was just an ordinary man, only to find out that he was also a cultivator.
There were no Golden Core cultivators on this planet, and Long Jingtian was not likely to be a Foundation Establisher. Otherwise, by his nature, he wouldn't have waited until Xiao Qiang was fully-grown. Yet, he repeatedly provoked Xiao Qiang.
