XIAO SHUXIANG'S

241 - New Destinations

Xiao Shuxiang was in the Nirwana Realm unaware that in his world it had now lasted for a week.

Xiao WeiWei continued to look after his son and several times cleaned the body and changed Xiao Shuxiang's clothes. He was assisted by Ling Qing Zhu and Yi Wen.

Actually, Lan Guan Zhi and Feng Ying were asked to take care of Xiao Shuxiang's body. However, Yi Wen protested, saying Lan Guan Zhi was not married, she was worried that Xiao Shuxiang would be attacked suddenly by the Patriarch Lan's younger brother.

Xiao Lu who heard it was clearly shocked. Lan Guan Zhi was not such a man, he was more suspicious of Yi Wen who would take advantage of his younger brother.

After all, it was indeed more appropriate for Lan Guan Zhi to do so, since he was a man. Moreover, Xiao Lu had already considered the handsome young man a part of his family.

Not wanting any misunderstandings, it was Xiao WeiWei who finally took over. She was the one in charge of cleaning and changing her son's clothes.

During that entire week, Xiao WeiWei, Zhou Yan, Patriarch Lan, Yang Shu, and Yang Hao had always visited Xiao Shuxiang in turn.

Within the space of this week, a wooden crate Feng Ying had made was completed. Xiao WeiWei and Yang Shu were startled as he carried the chest into the tent.

They immediately reprimanded Feng Ying by saying that Xiao Shuxiang is not dead yet, why should it be put in a crate?

".. You here, quickly take that thing away,"

"But, Auntie. Brother Xiao will be more comfortable sleeping here. No one's gonna bother him,"

Xiao WeiWei still disagreed, what if someone buried the coffin because they thought it was a coffin. His son will be buried alive.

In contrast to Xiao WeiWei, Yang Hao and Yang Shu had apparently agreed to Feng Ying's intentions. Both of them felt that Xiao Shuxiang would sleep for a very long time, it was not good to put him to sleep on the ground and only had dry leaves.

".. Xiao'Er's body was also extremely cold. At least inside the crate she'll feel warm,"

"Don't worry, there's a lot of people looking after him,"

Yang Hao patted his wife's shoulder gently. His words just now were also approved by Patriarch Lan and Lan Guan Zhi who just happened to be with them as well.

Although the news of Xiao Shuxiang's hibernation was kept secret, it was eventually revealed.

Originally, cultivators and ordinary humans who had previously been inside the Universal Bracelet were looking for people who had given them help.

They went to Lan Guan Zhi and thanked him very much for all the care they had received during their time in that unknown world.

But Lan Guan Zhi said that the one who provided the real help was Xiao Shuxiang. The pills, herbs, as well as spirit pearls and the foreign world were also the property of his friend.

Hearing the name 'Xiao Shuxiang' shocked everyone. Who does not know that name? All the humans in the Eastern Continent including the little ones knew about it.

Before this great war took place and the life of the people in the Three Empires was a little more peaceful, the name 'Xiao Shuxiang' was always heard everywhere.

In a single day, a village heralded the name thirty times. In fact, there is one famous building in the Empire of the Sinking Sun that every day is always crowded with visitors.

In that place they were always told about Xiao Shuxiang's life history from birth to the end of his history. Of course, most of these stories are far from true, but people believe them instead.

If Xiao Shuxiang had known this, he would probably have gone straight to the territory of the Middle Sun Empire and destroyed the place that had dared to say such a nonsense about him.

Knowing that the person who gave these cultivators and ordinary humans some help was the young man named Xiao Shuxiang made them unable to be said to be happy, nor was it said to be sad.

To be clear, they did not know what to feel when they heard the name of their Helper. For people who want to think more openly, of course the name 'Xiao Shuxiang' is not a nightmare. Precisely by that name, they can now remember 'Xiao Shuxiang' who was a helper of the Destroyer.

Some cultivators were seen conveying his gaze. He said that the bad past should be forgotten.

It was much better to eliminate the influence of Xiao Shuxiang the Destroying Star and replace it with the new Xiao Shuxiang, a young Alchemist who had saved the Eastern Continent..

The Protective Star.

The problem is, it is not easy to forget the past. Moreover, that time was the worst memory that had been imprinted inside, they needed to meet the current Xiao Shuxiang.

Perhaps by looking at the face of the Saviour, they could forget a little bit of that bad memory.

However, when one of their representatives came to Xiao WeiWei's tent, he was surprised by a coffin that turned out to be reserved for Xiao Shuxiang.

It instantly spread and shocked everyone including the Demonic Beasts except Lan Xiao. The Moon Tiger seemed to have a strong sense of taste and seemed to be connected to Xiao Shuxiang.

Lan Xiao knew that the person she thought was in good shape, so she did not feel worried.

Just as Yang Hao was about to lift up his son's body to put in the wooden crate, something suddenly happened.

!!

Blood instantly spurted on both of Xiao Shuxiang's calves and even tore the cloth where it came out. Xiao WeiWei and the others were completely shocked.

Unfortunately, it didn't get there. Blood again spurted, this time on both of Xiao Shuxiang's thighs, both arms, as well as on his leg's eyes.

!!

"Xiao'Er?! What's Happening To Him?! Is This Ordinary Thing When He Hibernates?!"

"No Aunt. Brother Xiao's body was just like falling asleep and not to the point of spitting out this kind of blood,"

Feng Ying said that the conditions she was looking at were rare. It seemed like something had happened to his brother's body.

!!

Just as Feng Ying spoke, she and the others were again startled by the pitch-black smoke that instantly gushed out from Xiao Shuxiang's body like a shock wind.

Feng Ying and the others tried not to get pushed back. They blocked the wind with arms that were used as a means of repelling.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang's chest also spurted blood, the clothes that Xiao WeiWei had just replaced were now experiencing a lot of shaking in some places.

Xiao Shuxiang's body began to sweat, his countenance also changed, as if he was having a nightmare.

Xiao WeiWei and Yang Hao called out his name, they patted Xiao Shuxiang's cheeks softly and tried to resuscitate him.

"Xiao'Er?!"

Xiao WeiWei was so worried, his son had just spewed blood while still asleep. Slowly, blood came out from Xiao Shuxiang's nose and ears.

!!

No one knew the cause of Xiao Shuxiang's current condition. Patriarch Lan herself did not find any organs in Xiao Shuxiang damaged, actually what happened to the body of this friend of her sister?

Patriarch Lan asked Feng Ying to call Zhou Yan here, the body examination of the Alchemist was much better than her. Feng Ying nodded and immediately rushed away.

Xiao Shuxiang spewed blood again, this time looking as if a chain made of thin wind emerged from his stomach, right at the navel.

The chain spread throughout Xiao Shuxiang's body and wrapped around his legs, hands, and even his neck.

!!

Patriarch Lan, Lan Guan Zhi, Xiao WeiWei, Yang Shu, and Yang Hao could only watch this matter without being able to do anything about it. They were waiting for Feng Ying to come along with Alchemist Zhou Yan.

It took about eight minutes for Zhou Yan to arrive. During that time lag, Xiao Shuxiang's condition was extremely alarming.

Zhou Yan placed his right palm right on Xiao Shuxiang's chest, he then used his Qi to examine the inner organs of the young man lying in front of him.

Xiao Shuxiang's heart rate returned to normal, the flow of blood and Qi within his body also started to smooth. Merely, Zhou Yan could feel that there were thin, golden-yellow ropes spreading and wrapped around each bone even entering into Xiao Shuxiang's heart.

The center of the thin rope was in both of Xiao Shuxiang's Dantians, but Zhou Yan could only feel one dantian.

"Patriarch, how? What happened to my son?"

Zhou Yan began to explain what he had seen while examining Xiao Shuxiang's body. Xiao WeiWei's son was in good shape, his entire organ was still functioning without any flaws at all. The thin rope he saw did not disturb or damage Xiao Shuxiang's internal organs.

".. We'll find out what happens when he wakes up,"

?!

Xiao WeiWei was about to ask, but he gasped when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's complaint. His son is awake.

Xiao Shuxiang had yet to open his eyes, but he had already complained that his entire body was in pain while condemning things. As he turned his body around, Xiao Shuxiang started to open his eyes, his gaze immediately staring at the chest of the Third Patriarch of the White-clothed Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Chairman Three..? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Shuxiang slowly woke up, she covered her mouth as it yawned. His gaze began to clear, he could see Patriarch Lan, Xiao WeiWei, Yang Shu, Yang Hao, Feng Ying, even Lan Guan Zhi.

He looked astonished, why did these people even gather around and look at him strangely? What's up?

Xiao Shuxiang's regeneration was indeed incredible, he only felt his body ache but only for a short while. He began to understand why he was being stared at like that after feeling his nose bleed.

"Xiao'Er?! Is your body hurting? What exactly is it that you are?!"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched as Xiao WeiWei directly hugged him, he felt that he had made a woman anxious.

"I just took a nap, why should it be this hot.."

"Sleep for a second? You've been lying unconscious for an entire week. Your heart even beats weird, I think you've.."

Xiao Shuxiang did not expect to have slept for a week, even though he felt he only slept for a few minutes. He asked for water, and he wanted to drink and wash his face.

Zhou Yan and the others waited for Xiao Shuxiang's explanation. After the young man finished with his face wash and drink, they started asking what really happened to Xiao Shuxiang's body.

".. Ling Lang Tian said you are a mutant. Is that true?"

"Mutants?! Of course it wasn't. Why should I be a mutant? I am a living being and just an ordinary person. Hibernation was a way to suppress my desire to commit a massacre. Didn't I tell you about Mom.."

Xiao WeiWei did know that the young man in front of him was the reincarnation of the Destroying Star, but not Yang Shu, Yang Hao, and Feng Ying.

Clearly the three were confused by Xiao Shuxiang's remark. What they heard was as if Xiao Shuxiang had a terrible disease that loved to carry out massacres.

Zhou Yan made a protective seal so that outsiders could not hear what they were discussing.

He helped Xiao Shuxiang to reveal the identity of this young man to Yang Shu, Yang Hao, and Feng Ying.

All three were shocked, as if they could not believe what they heard. Reincarnation? That's impossible to happen. But Zhou Yan said it clearly, and he was supported by Patriarch Lan, Xiao WeiWei as well as Lan Guan Zhi.

Yang Shu rubbed his mustache and beard, indeed many strange things happened when his favorite grandson was born first. Like the incident of naming Xiao Shuxiang, until the actions of his grandson were rude if his name was called 'Xiang'Er'.

".. But I'm still not sure,"

"It's up to Grandpa to believe this or not. But I have to say that before I explain my present condition,"

Xiao Shuxiang said that Patriarch Lan and the others had seen chains made of thin wind and wrapped around his body now. This chain is no longer visible, but actually still exists.

".. It's called the Soul Restraint Seal, a Blind Grandfather who gave it to me while sleeping earlier,"

Xiao Shuxiang explained the function of the Soul Restraint Seal. He did not say anything about the Nine World Gate Seal because according to him, it should remain secret.

".. The Blind Grandfather was my acquaintance. I still wonder, is this real? I met an unexpected person in the dream and he gave me this seal,"

"You're really lucky. That place must be Nirvana Nature, right?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised to hear Zhou Yan mention about the Nirvana Realm. He immediately asked if the Third Patriarch had ever been to that realm? Zhou Yan's answer was of course he had, and it had only happened about five days ago.

".. You impressed me. How can you be friends with the guardian of the Nirvana Realm? Who are you really?"

"Chairman Three, I told you I'm Xiao Shuxiang. I wasn't friends with that Old Bangka, we met by chance. He challenged me to a fight and lost to me. This Mana Xiao Shuxiang knew could meet him again in the Nirwana Realm.."

Xiao Shuxiang said it was not important. Now Zhou Yan as well as the others knew where the chains on his body came from. He then took a slow breath and began to say his desire to leave the Eastern Continent.

Everyone who heard her words were shocked. Xiao Shuxiang said that he had things to do in the Northern Continent.

".. This is not a promise. It's just, an Old Grandpa asked me to go there if I wanted to, and it seems like I should.."

Xiao Shuxiang said his wish carefully. Actually, if it wasn't for the Elves would have come looking for him.. Xiao Shuxiang must have stayed in the Eastern Continent.

The people that Xiao Shuxiang knew should not be up to the point of knowing about her having any connection with otherworldly beings. If there is, they have their permission first.

But if it did not get his permission and it turned out that the person knew, then Xiao Shuxiang would have to kill him, without exception.

Yang Shu was more silent when he heard the so-called Northern Continent, the change in his face could be realized by Yang Hao.

It had been a long time that Yang Hao had been asked to go to the Northern Continent, yet he had always refused because he felt his residence here. Now, his son was going to the continent.

".. Xiao'Er, you're an adult and I don't want to prevent you, but the Northern Continent.."

"I know, that's Grandpa's place to live, right?"

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Yang Shu. The old Bangka in front of him was an Emperor who had long been missed by the people of the Northern Continent, as well as a fugitive who was targeted by the imperial family to be killed.

".. Because my marg doesn't follow Dad and Grandpa, so I'll be fine. Even if my margaret is 'Yang', this Xiao Shuxiang will kill anyone who dares to want my life,"

Xiao Shuxiang recalled, he had not killed a human for a long time. He wanted to try to find a cause in the Northern Continent as well as test how strong the Soul Restraining Seal was against his insanity in carrying out the slaughter.

".. It's decided, I should be able to return home from the Elf World and go to the Northern Continent,"

Xiao Shuxiang's thin smile was like it contained meaning. He has found a new purpose in his life.

"When did you go?"

"Hm? Lan Zhi's.. Are you sad that I'm leaving you? Aah~ sweetness,"

!!

Zhou Yan pulled hard Xiao Shuxiang's ear as the young man started again. It must have always been like this, the Naughty Boy nearby would definitely have acted shamelessly upon seeing Lan Guan Zhi.

"Chairman Three, let go. Lan Zhi is too serious and is very suitable to be colonized a little, you don't take it seriously. After all, Lan Zhi knew I was joking. You pull my ears like this, as if to say that you're jealous. Could it.."

Xiao Shuxiang stared strangely at Zhou Yan, his words immediately stopped the alchemist and gave him a warning not to talk carelessly.

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his reddened ear as it was twisted violently by Zhou Yan.

Patriarch Lan repeated the question from his sister, they should know when Xiao Shuxiang will leave.

"My estimate is two weeks from now. I can't possibly leave the Eastern Continent still under repair. There's one important thing I want to do anyway.."

Xiao Shuxiang asked for permission to leave, his goal was to meet Ling Lang Tian. He needed to discuss important matters regarding himself with the younger brother of the white-haired young man.
