Chapter 126 : 126 Dead weight
"How dare you scratch Suhaila! You're courting death!"
Xen Kai put down his chopsticks and took a few large strides to Blaze Regret's table, angrily extending his hand to grab Red's tail, intending to lift it up.
"Try touching it, and see what happens!"
Blaze Regret's face turned cold, and his sharp gaze locked onto Xen Kai.
Xen Kai was stunned for a moment when he felt Blaze Regret's cold gaze on him. Immediately, an uncontrollable anger swirled in his eyes. Since when could a mere First Grade Spirit warrior dare to challenge a Third Grade Spirit warrior?
"So what if I did? What can you do about it?"
Xen Kai sneered coldly. He raised his hand, intending to grab Red fiercely. He not only wanted to act but wanted to crush this little Cat right in front of Blaze Regret!
Blaze Regret's eyes flashed with a cold light. He curled his two fingers, and a scorching, fiery red spiritual power emanated. If Xen Kai dared to lower his hand, Blaze Regret was confident he could cripple his entire arm in an instant.
"Forget it."
Seeing this, Yun Suhaila hurriedly pushed Xen Kai's hand away. Even though Red had scratched her, she didn't blame it. After all, girls are often very fond of such fluffy little animals.
"Since you say forget it, I'll let it go this time."
Xen Kai glared fiercely at Blaze Regret, then turned around and went back to the table to continue eating. However, his gaze still carried a chill as he occasionally glanced at Blaze Regret.
Blaze Regret slightly frowned and dispersed the spiritual power at his fingertips. He had always been unwilling to deal with such people.
"Why did it scratch me?" Yun Suhaila sat there, her beautiful eyes full of tears as she stared at Red, looking very aggrieved.
"It's afraid of strangers." Blaze Regret smiled helplessly. It seemed that, besides him, Red didn't let anyone else touch it. The scratch on Yun Suhaila's hand was entirely accidental.
"By the way, where are you planning to go for training this time?" Muk Karthik put down his wine glass and asked softly.
"Hiltan Town," Blaze Regret replied without hiding anything. After all, there was no point in keeping such a thing secret.
"That's a coincidence; we're also going to Hiltan Town. Why don't you come with us?" Muk Karthik's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Yes, to get to Hiltan Town, we first have to cross a forest filled with dangers. Coming with us, we can look out for each other," Yun Anuar laughed heartily, extending the invitation as a way to apologize for Xen Kai's earlier behavior.
"Why bring him along? A greenhouse sprout like him is just here to warm people up," Xen Kai muttered.
"I can take care of myself," Blaze Regret said calmly.

"Then it's settled," Muk Karthik said, full of joy. He had a favorable impression of this approachable young master of the Blaze family. Unlike other family scions who wouldn't even look at members of a spirit hunting group, Blaze Regret was different.
"No, I object," Yun Suhaila frowned slightly as she glanced at Blaze Regret, then looked at Yun Anuar. "Father, why bring him along? You know how dangerous the forest is. Having a burden with us will only cause more trouble."
"You can't say that. The more people, the more strength we have. Besides, Blaze Regret is Muk Karthik's friend. We can't let him cross the forest alone," Yun Anuar persuaded Yun Suhaila.
"Take care of yourself and don't hold us back!" Yun Suhaila, seeing that her opposition was futile, glared angrily at Blaze Regret.
Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. Although he wanted to show his true strength, it was always wise to keep some cards hidden when away from home. So, after thinking it over, he decided to let it go.
"Let's go after we finish eating," Yun Anuar said, placing a few gold coins on the table before standing up. He hoisted a large sack over his shoulder and called out to the others.
Muk Karthik led Blaze Regret, quickly following.
"Are we entering the forest now?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled. Wasn't it said that the forest is most dangerous at night?
"People are more dangerous than spirit beasts," Muk Karthik said, seemingly understanding Blaze Regret's thoughts. He gave Blaze Regret a meaningful look.
After Yun Anuar left, the inn noticeably became less restrained, and many spirit warriors began shouting loudly, including some vulgar language.
"Dead weight."
As he passed by Xen Kai, his disdainful cold snort reached Blaze Regret's ears.
"Xen Kai, did you take the wrong medicine?"
Muk Karthik, annoyed by Xen Kai's behavior, finally couldn't help but curse. Blaze Regret was his friend, and Xen Kai's repeated attempts to trouble Blaze Regret in front of him were undoubtedly embarrassing.
"Muk Karthik, don't be fooled by certain people's appearances. He's just trying to use you to get through the forest. Once he's done with you, tsk tsk..." Xen Kai sighed, as if he felt sorry for Muk Karthik. Then he quickened his pace and immediately walked over to Yun Suhaila, trying to strike up a conversation.
But it was clear that Yun Suhaila wasn't very interested. Her beautiful eyes occasionally glanced at the Red on Blaze Regret's shoulder, showing a desire to come over and touch them. However, the pain on the back of her hand made her suppress this thought.
"Blaze Regret, don't blame Yun Suhaila. That little girl is just sharp tongued but soft hearted. The forest is indeed very dangerous," Muk Karthik sighed. "Our Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group has over fifty people, and half of them have fallen in that forest. Even our leader can't guarantee that we can pass through safely every time."
Blaze Regret nodded silently. He had experienced the dangers of the forest more than once. As for Yun Suhaila, he had never had any ill feelings towards her.
Someone who can show such pure eyes can't be truly malicious. She was just a bit spoiled in character. Besides, she didn't show that spoiled nature to people she was familiar with. As for him, he was still just an outsider.
