Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

"However, my opponent was too powerful, and I was seriously injured in the fierce battle. I finally escaped here after going through untold hardships."

After listening to the story told by the god, the girl showed a hint of doubt on her face, but she did not continue to delve into it.

Because from the other party's words and actions, she had keenly noticed that the god seemed unwilling to tell the whole truth.

However, she was not the stubborn person who insisted on getting to the bottom of things, so she just nodded slightly to show her understanding.

Then, without hesitation, the girl stepped forward, staring intently at the man. Then, in a clear and resonant voice, she asked, "Oh, so that's how it is! Since things have come to this, I'd like to ask this handsome gentleman, what is your name?"

Hearing the girl's question, the god was slightly startled, and thought to himself: "Hmm... a name? Never mind, I'll just make up a fake name to get by. After all, I can't waste too much time here. I have to quickly get that lazy energy ball back."

Thinking of this, he raised his head, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he replied softly: "Girl, just call me A Tian."

"Ah Tian?" The girl couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, tilting her head and asking suspiciously, "Why is there such a strange name?"

Her big watery eyes were filled with confusion, as if she wanted to see through the mysterious man's appearance to see his true thoughts deep in his heart.

Seeing the girl's doubts about his name, the god remained calm and explained with a smile, "Haha, it's just a simple name, don't mind it, young lady. It's just that I don't know your name yet. Thanks to you for saving me in time, little girl. I am really grateful."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the girl, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

At this moment, the girl who was originally a little confused seemed to suddenly remember something, and instantly smiled and answered happily: "Hehe, my name is Xu Li, Liyo, which means jasmine blossoms~"

As she spoke, she gestured lightly with her hands, as if she wanted the other person to understand the meaning of her name more clearly.

The god nodded, his lips curled up in an appreciative smile. He slowly said, "Xu Li? What a wonderful name! Just like the pure white and fragrant jasmine flower, it's fresh, refined, and beautiful."

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the girl in front of him with a smile as beautiful as a flower. The more he looked, the more he felt that she was quite similar to the blooming jasmine.

Hearing the god's generous words of praise and looking at that handsome face so close to her, Xu Li felt her cheeks quickly flush like a sunset cloud. She lowered her head shyly, her hands unconsciously fiddling with the corners of her clothes, and for a moment she was a little at a loss.

The god looked at Xu Li's shy and lovely appearance, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly, as if a warm current was flowing gently through him.

However, he knew very well that this was not the time to indulge in sentimental feelings. He was shouldering an important mission and had to complete it as soon as possible.

So he quickly collected his thoughts and a look of determination reappeared on his face.

"Thank you again for your help, kind girl. But I have to leave now, because there are extremely important things waiting for me to deal with." The god said with a smile, his words revealing a hint of apology and determination.

Then he slowly stood up and prepared to move forward.

"You, you are leaving now? But can your body handle it? A Tian." Xu Li asked anxiously upon seeing this, her eyes full of concern and worry.

She was really worried about the man in front of her who was seriously injured but still insisted on moving forward.

As soon as the god stood up, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if thousands of arrows pierced his heart, making it unbearable.

He groaned, his body swayed a few times, and finally fell down weakly.

"Ouch! It hurts so much, it hurts so much..." The god gritted his teeth and cried out in pain, a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appearing on his forehead.

Xu Li was extremely anxious, and hurried forward, carefully helping the fallen god up.

"Atian, look at you, you clearly still have wounds on your body that have not healed, how can you be so stubborn!" She scolded him distressedly, while gently checking the injuries on the god's body.

"Alas, it seems that I have no choice but to rest here for a few days and set off again after my wounds have healed a little." The god leaned against the wall helplessly and sighed deeply.

At this moment, Xu Li seemed to have been struck by a sudden flash of inspiration. A blush spread across her pretty face. In a voice as gentle as the breeze across the lake, she asked, "Ah Tian, ​​where are your family now? Why don't you try to contact them and ask them to come and take you home? I'm starting to feel a little embarrassed if you keep staying here like this."

Upon hearing this, the god's eyes, which had been as calm as water, trembled slightly. His voice seemed to lose its strength, becoming low and soft. "Family... I have tried countless times to find my loved ones, but unfortunately, they have long since left me."

As he said this, a deep sadness and helplessness appeared on the god's handsome face.

After all, for a being that has survived for thousands of years, even if it once had a family, it would probably be difficult to withstand the ruthless erosion of time. Therefore, the gods do not even have descendants and have always faced everything alone.

"Ah? Are they all dead?" Xu Li couldn't help but widen her eyes, revealing an expression of surprise and regret. She sighed softly and said comfortingly, "It's so unfortunate. Please accept my condolences."

After a moment's silence, Xu Li seemed to have thought of something important and quickly asked, "Since your family members are no longer alive, how do you plan to arrange your life next?"

The god forced a bitter smile and slowly replied, "I still have an unfinished mission. Only after it is completed can my life perhaps come to an end. But before that, the most urgent priority is to quickly heal the injuries I have sustained."

After listening to the god's story, Xu Li nodded thoughtfully, expressing her understanding and sympathy.

Then she pondered for a moment and continued, "It seems that you have no choice but to stay with me and recuperate for the time being. Don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of you."

The god slowly raised his head and his gaze fell on Xu Li. A trace of emotion flashed across the depths of his eyes, barely perceptible.

He just said softly: "Thank you, Xu Li, you are really a good girl with an extremely kind heart."

Hearing the praise from the god, Xu Li couldn't help but blush again. She lowered her head and responded softly, "Thank you for the compliment."

At this moment, the god seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Xu Li, where are your family members? So far, I don't know much about your family members."

Xu Li was slightly startled, then smiled and replied, "My parents go out to work during the day, and they have to work very late every day before they can come home. In the past, my sister and I have always been dependent on each other, but later my sister went to work in another city, so now I am the only one left living alone."
