XIAO SHUXIANG'S

249 - Ling Qing Zhu III

The first uniform that Xiao Shuxiang had stitched up was finally finished.

His appearance was still the same as that of the Butterfly Sect disciples, yet Xiao Shuxiang used the Fire Rat vein dried with his blue flame as a thread.

This animal belonged to a type of Demonic Beast whose body was extremely resistant to any type of attack. The Fire Rat's only weakness was in its muzzle.

As long as his muzzle was not slashed, then he would not be able to be defeated.

Even the effects of the Celestial Emperor Sword were unable to kill the Fire Rat, this was because its weakness only existed in one place.

If the Fire Rat was a ferocious Demonic Beast, it might have been a long time since the Three Empires were in chaos.

Ping Gou was also a Demonic Beast in the form of a mouse, but the types of the two were different. This protector of the Butterfly Sect and friend of Xiao Shuxiang was a type of Lightning Rat.

In fact, in the One Ring that Elder Da Lin had given to Xiao Shuxiang back then was not only filled by silver coins, gold, weapons, and spirit pearls, either, but there were also dead Demonic Beast skin and body parts.

Although it had long been a corpse, in fact the Demonic Beast's skin and body parts were still fresh. So Xiao Shuxiang had to dry it with his little Blue Flame first before use.

Not only the treasures within One Ring, the storage pouch given by Elder Da Lin also had many precious items inside. Unfortunately, the pouch was the deposit that Xiao Shuxiang had to give to Elder Da Lin's descendants later on.

After taking a good look at the uniform in his hands, Xiao Shuxiang started looking for a roomy place he could use to test the durability of the uniform.

Under the moonlight, the white uniform with the butterfly wing motif in Xiao Shuxiang's hand appeared to be silvery.

He was now in a field, the border between the Central Sun Empire and the Sunset Empire.

In front of him, stood Tianqi Mao who appeared to be playing a pink fan that matched the color of his clothes.

Xiao Shuxiang put on his sewing uniform and asked Tianqi Mao to attack him with all his might. He himself will be a guinea pig for his heirloom.

"Are you sure? I won't be responsible until you're dead,"

Tianqi Mao began to close his eyes upon hearing Xiao Shuxiang's words asking him to never hesitate.

".. Do it..!"

A thin bluish smoke seemed to come out from the fan in his hand. After breathing in three breaths, Tianqi Mao's eyes began to open. The color of the eyes turns blue with pupils similar to cat pupils.

With just a single swing of the fan, an animal head made of water instantly shot out like an arrow and attacked Xiao Shuxiang.

The ground that was passed by Tianqi Mao's attack instantly eroded quite deeply. The attack produced a loud thumping sound as it touched Xiao Shuxiang's body.

!!

Tianqi Mao was startled, the young man standing about ten meters away from him did nothing to fend off his attacks.

Worried, he called out to Xiao Shuxiang as the effect of his attack caused a puff of smoke.

Luckily the young man was fine. However, Xiao Shuxiang instead nagged him for not attacking with all his might. Though, Tianqi Mao himself had felt that he had already done what he could.

"It's still not enough, I need to be attacked with great force.."

"Are you crazy? Don't play games with your own life,"

Xiao Shuxiang said that he was not playing around, his time was getting less and he should be able to perfect his sect uniform.

Xiao Shuxiang intended to find Zhou Yan for help, but Tianqi Mao said he should rest and continue tomorrow. Honey, this is not the time to do that.

The help from Zhou Yan made the already lame uniform sewn by Xiao Shuxiang torn. This proves that the uniform is still too weak.

In the morning, Xiao Shuxiang accompanied by Feng Ying set off towards one of the Black Stream regions, the Middle Sun Empire. Both intend to collect rare tree roots that can be a clothing material.

Not only the roots, but also the Demonic Beast body parts like feathers and horns. All of this they were looking for with the guidance of the book that Ming Mei had given.

Xiao Shuxiang and Feng Ying were extremely busy, to the point of not realizing that the improvements in the Three Imperial Regions had now reached 50%.

It should be, an improvement of this magnitude takes a relatively longer time, likely 5 to 10 years. But because ordinary humans were cooperating with cultivators and Demonic Beasts.. It was like they had succeeded in doing a miracle.

Actually, this improvement is still limited to the leveling of land and the construction of houses. This did not cover economic matters and other aspects, as they were still focused on tidying up the territory of the Three Empires.

Xiao Shuxiang did not know that his friends, ordinary mortals, cultivators of the three sects, and Demonic Beasts had agreed to make a statue of him as the emblem of the Hero of the Eastern Continent.

The location of the statue was in one of the Black Stream regions, the Sun Drowning Empire. This emblem will be brought tomorrow after it is finished being made.

Xiao Shuxiang and Feng Ying only returned after noon. In fact, Feng Ying was also not told about the statue. Hence, he and Xiao Shuxiang looked puzzled at the slightly strange gazes of the citizens.

Just like this afternoon, as Xiao Shuxiang walked towards the common kitchen to request some food.. He was always the center of attention.

?

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Ling Qing Zhu who looked serious about making meat dumplings, and he walked up to the girl and asked her if there was anything strange on her face?

"Mn, no.."

"You sure?"

Ling Qing Zhu nodded. The face of the young man in front of him was spotless, with an eye gaze that looked like a good-natured innocent youth. You can really deceive people.

"Is it possible that they just realized that I have a charming face..?"

Xiao Shuxiang asked Ling Qing Zhu's opinion, but this girl just looked at him without saying anything. It seemed, Ling Qing Zhu's gaze contained the sense that Xiao Shuxiang was overconfident.

"I am amazing. Don't tell me you're jealous because I'm popular with girls,"

"No way,"

Xiao Shuxiang continued to ridicule Ling Qing Zhu and forced this girl to confess. He had already noticed Ling Qing Zhu who would act extremely cold and stay away from others, but not so when with him.

".. You're a lousy girl with me. Don't you like me?"

"No way,"

Ling Qing Zhu felt tense as Xiao Shuxiang suddenly looked at him seriously. He had once been given this kind of look at Ling Lang Tian when his elder brother had been suspicious of him.

Ling Qing Zhu subconsciously held her breath, she had not even blinked as long as Xiao Shuxiang continued to look at her.

His body was too stiff to move, but this young man in front of him instead stepped closer and stood so close to him.

"..."

"..."

Time seemed to stop, even the gusts of wind also instantly disappeared.

Ling Qing Zhu did not know what this young man was going to do to her, he really could not read the meaning of Xiao Shuxiang's gaze and flat face.

If you look more carefully. Indeed when exposed to the sunlight, there was like a flower blooming within the eyes of the young man in front of him. If he was wearing a white uniform, Xiao Shuxiang did not look like an angel of darkness. Even like..

"You hear that? Something's falling,"

!!

Ling Qing Zhu reflexively looked down upon hearing Xiao Shuxiang's remark. However, he did not find anything that fell.

Ling Qing Zhu looked back at Xiao Shuxiang. It was just that this young man's next remark, made him shocked in disbelief.

Xiao Shuxiang said that Ling Qing Zhu had just fallen for him. Hearing that made Ling Qing Zhu instantly say, 'No'.

"But I feel it,"

Xiao Shuxiang urged Ling Qing Zhu to confess. After all, he is not the type of man who will immediately reject outright if immediately proposed by a girl. So, better admit it now before regretting.

".. You're being honest. You're falling for me, aren't you?"

"Where is possible,"

"Then I'm the one who fell in love with you,"

!!

Ling Qing Zhu was surprised, he had to hear at least five love statements from different young men every day. The thing was, he could not believe that Xiao Shuxiang was also following along.

"Omong empty,"

"Do I have to prove it?"
