XIAO SHUXIANG'S
312 - Fox Masked Youth
It was already afternoon when Xiao Shuxiang and his friends arrived at the Sky Pagoda Sect. They decided to take a break and go back to discussing what they would do tomorrow.
"My body feels sticky, I want to take a shower right away.." Xiao Qing Yan spread out his hands and then walked out of Xiao Shuxiang's room, himself followed by O Zhan.
The moving mirror that was inside this room slowly became a grain of water and then disappeared. Now all that was left were Hu Li, Xiao Shuxiang, Lan Guan Zhi, and Lan Xiao.
"Young Master Xiao, I am also saying goodbye to going to the room. But.. How about.. Ummm.. This guy?"
Hu Li gave a strange look to the Mad Beggar Boy. He was still uncomfortable with the existence of the young man whose face was full of such makeup.
The Mad Beggar Boy himself seemed to be indifferent to Hu Li's gaze, his face was unceasingly amazed by what he had just experienced. Who wouldn't be surprised when you're in a hot valley and not for three seconds have you set foot anywhere else. The Crazy Beggar Boy clearly felt it.
"Amazing teleportation. Ck ck.. This kid has great abilities. There aren't many people who have the talent of moving places in just a short time, let alone being able to bring people with them.."
The Crazy Beggar Boy looked at Xiao Shuxiang and watched the young man from top to bottom. ".. It seems that now I understand why Old Bangka chose you,"
?!
Aware of being noticed made Xiao Shuxiang blur loudly. He told the Mad Beggar Boy not to look at him if he still wanted to feel the warmth of tomorrow's sun.
He also actually did not feel comfortable with the presence of this young man. However, Lan Guan Zhi did not allow him to kill this strange young man.
"Hu Li, you take her pu-!"
Xiao Shuxiang flinched as Hu Li was no longer standing beside him anymore. It seemed that he was not aware that the white-haired young man had left his room.
He exhaled a long breath and then asked Lan Guan Zhi to kick the Mad Beggar Boy out of his room at once from the Sky Pagoda Sect, but his friend refused.
".. Let this Young Master rest, I'll take him,"
"Mn?! Took him? Where to?"
"My room,"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang immediately refused. He grabbed the Mad Beggar Boy's hand and pulled the young man close to him. The Crazy Beggar Boy was shocked.
"I'm not gonna let this guy go to a room with you. He could've floated you when you let your guard down. No, he'll stay with me. Lan Xiao, take your father to his room.."
Nyan!
Lan Guan Zhi looked at Xiao Shuxiang a little longer, this young man was taking care of him too much but he did not refuse. He would hand the Mad Beggar Boy over to Xiao Shuxiang if that was what his friend wanted.
The Mad Beggar Boy felt that Xiao Shuxiang had mistaken him. While looking down a little and stroking his front hair slowly.. He began to say, "While I like men.. But I'm not that cheap to sway anyone. I'm this.. Still got some pride.."
Xiao Shuxiang, "Huh? Your pride is not up to two pieces of gold. Never mind.. You're here while I'm still good enough not to kick you out,"
Lan Guan Zhi watched as Xiao Shuxiang grumbled at the Mad Beggar Boy. He felt that these two young men had a slight resemblance, certainly in terms that most normal people did not have.
Lan Guan Zhi exhaled softly and then stepped towards the door, himself being overtaken by Lan Xiao, the Moon Tiger.
They left Xiao Shuxiang with the Crazy Beggar Boy in this room. No one knew of their return, including Ling Lang Tian, Ling Qing Zhu, nor the other residents of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
This was definitely not why, because tomorrow they would meet Ling Lang Tian again. The most important thing now is to clean up and rest.
The Mad Beggar Boy bathed in one corner of the room, right behind the wooden bulkhead that was inside Xiao Shuxiang's room. He sounded so happy that he even hummed occasionally.
Xiao Shuxiang exhaled softly, ".. The sound is good but what is the need to soak while singing? Really do.. Hey..! Quickly finish your bath,"
"Five more minutes,"
Xiao Shuxiang clucked softly and began to take out a set of clothes from inside the closet. He prepared this for the Mad Beggar Boy without a second thought. He then took out a small pot of Arak Anak Linglung while waiting for the Crazy Beggar Boy to finish his bath.
Not long after, the young man he was waiting for seemed to walk from behind a wooden bulkhead. The Mad Beggar Boy's clothes were white, slightly open at the top and somewhat wet.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang choked on the wine he drank upon seeing the look of the Mad Beggar Boy. Still coughing.. He noticed the young man walking towards him from the bottom to the top.
"Why.. You see me that way..?" The Mad Beggar Boy made a soft voice, he looked embarrassed as he stared at Xiao Shuxiang.
".. Ohok, your face is handsome but why cover it with makeup like a hanging ghost? Aiih, you've wasted your own good looks,"
"Uhm.. I'm not that handsome.."
Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly and then gently massaged his forehead. He then told the Mad Beggar Boy to wear the clothes he had prepared. He himself would take a bath and preferably the Crazy Beggar Boy did not do anything strange.
".. After you get dressed, you should go to bed. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna have someone drive you home,"
Xiao Shuxiang placed his small pot of Arak Son Linglung on a table. He then walked towards the wooden bulkhead, the place where the tub of water filled with the Mad Beggar Boy bath was located.
A slight swing slowly on his right hand, two plants that turned Yellow Grass came out from the Xiao Shuxiang Universal Bracelet. The grass fell into a water bath and not for long.. The bathwater of the Mad Beggar Boy came back clean.
The moment Xiao Shuxiang started to take off his clothes and then soak.. Crazy Beggar Boy himself was seen sitting on the edge of the bed and began to notice the milk-white wine pot.
There was a fragrant aroma that he smelled and this was different from the aromatic scent that he was used to finding. Without asking for permission, the Mad Beggar Boy directly took the small pot, inhaled its aroma for a moment, and then tasted it.
!!
The eyes of the Crazy Beggar Boy blinked a few times, his facial expression looked incredulous, he again downed the Arak Child Linglung and this time it was up.
"Good wine, really good. Where did the boy find her..?"
Crazy Beggar Boy wants to drink wine again. He got dressed and then waited for Xiao Shuxiang to finish bathing.
"I thought you were asleep,"
"I drank your wine,"
Xiao Shuxiang did not feel annoyed at all let alone angry when he knew that his Linglung Child Arak was drunk by the Mad Beggar Boy. He even took out two more small pots and seemed to invite the Crazy Beggar Boy to have a drink together.
Do this gladly accepted Crazy Beggar Boy. He looked excited and started asking where Xiao Shuxiang was getting this good wine.
"Hmm, you won't be able to find it anywhere because I made it,"
"Mrs? Really true?" The Mad Beggar Boy looked in disbelief, yet Xiao Shuxiang said he was not lying.
"Alright, alright. I believe what you're saying. You're a great wine-maker, "Crazy Beggar Boy is amazed, he remembers something. The bamboo stick was still on Xiao Shuxiang.
"Ah, you're right.." in one flutter, Xiao Shuxiang took out the bamboo stick belonging to the Crazy Beggar Boy from within his Spatial Ring. He did not ask this young man anything because he felt that nothing was important.
Another case with the Mad Beggar Boy, he was interested in Xiao Shuxiang's identity but it was impossible for him to ask sensitive questions, hence he used this young man's friend as a talking point.
"Can I ask? Where did you meet Lan'Er Gege?"
?!
Xiao Shuxiang gasped when he heard Lan Guan Zhi's call from the mouth of the Mad Beggar Boy beside him. I don't know why he feels ticklish himself.
"It's a good thing you didn't say her name with a face full of makeup, otherwise I'd have kicked your ass,"
Xiao Shuxiang started to say that he and Lan Guan Zhi were friends, but the beginning of their meeting did not go well.
".. He was a student who was too rigid, always obeying the rules, and so annoying. But on a few occasions.. He's good to me.."
"So your relationship is just friends? Why..?"
Xiao Shuxiang frowned when he heard the Crazy Beggar Boy's question Just now. Indeed what else did this young man expect from his relationship with Lan Zhi?
".. Don't equate me with you. This Xiao Shuxiang is still normal and you know. I've got a future wife, she's a real woman and this sect is where she lives,"
The Mad Beggar Boy indeed from the beginning felt familiar with the room he occupied, and it seemed like he knew the name of the sect this young man was referring to.
Xiao Shuxiang, "You rest, don't drink too much. I'll go for a second.."
The Mad Beggar Boy nodded slowly, he noticed Xiao Shuxiang walking towards the door. Sitting next to the young man for a short while made him sure that the young man actually had nine chains of the Soul Restraint Seal, as well as the 'Protective Guardian' of Ling Qing Zhu.
The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled softly and then smiled. He still seemed to be enjoying the Linglung Child Arak as Xiao Shuxiang walked towards Lan Guan Zhi's room.
Far away somewhere else, precisely in the Flower Rainforest.. It appeared that Gong Zitao, Ge Yu Han, and the four mercenary warriors were standing there waiting for someone.
In front of them were two human corpses whose body parts were separated, even one of them had intestines poking out.
Wisesa, "First Brother, is that person coming? We've been waiting a long time in this place.."
"Sister First, what if that person cheated us?
Papat Yada and Wisesa are men who actually do not like to wait long. However, they wanted to know what the fox-masked young man would do to the corpses of his two friends.
"Young Master Gong, we've been waiting for more than three hours and that person has still not come. We'd better go home, Young Master.."
Ge Yu Han persuaded Gong Zitao to leave this place, he felt free they waited. The fox masked youth they had met before seemed to be just playing tricks on them.
"I feel so too.. We better go,"
Sri Anyar will just step with his brothers when they hear the sound of foot treading accompanied by fluttering robes.
!!
The person was none other than the fox-masked swordsman who had healed Gong Zitao, Ge Yu Han, Sri Anyar and his three brothers.
"Why are you so long..? What are you collecting us here for and what do you want the bodies of my two brothers to do?" Karasu ventured to ask.
"Hmph, I've been in this place for a long time.. But I hid my existence.."
The fox masked young man started to sound serious. He said he wanted to show his ability, a talent that would make Gong Zitao willing to cooperate with him.
Raise your hands slowly and align your chest.. The fox masked young man started muttering words that were not understood by either Gong Zitao, Karasu, or Sri Anyar.
A golden point formed and floated on the palm of the fox masked young man. Slowly, the golden color turned into Little Blue Fire.
!!
The fire floated towards the corpse of Eve Raynar, the female swordsman whose head was slashed by Lan Guan Zhi. The fire burned the body and head of Eve Raynar. Seeing this incident made Sri Anyar and the others feel surprised.
Compared to Tong Due's corpse.. Eve Raynar's body is much better. At least, the part of his body that is separated is only the right thigh and head only. Unlike Tong Due which despite its body being three parts.. But his internal organs like the intestines are completely messy.
Tong Due's heart was even split in two, the person who attacked him seemed to be filled with grudges. If only they knew.. Xiao Shuxiang very rarely did a neat slash, himself unlike Lan Guan Zhi.
That was indeed true, the one who killed Tong Due, Fifth Brother of Wisesa was Xiao Shuxiang. And actually Gong Zitao also almost died due to the attack by Guardian Protector Ling Qing Zhu.
In the body of Eve Raynar.. His whole body has stopped working. His heart was dead, as were his kidneys and others. His blood seemed to have dried up, but when it was burned by the little Blue Fire.. Surprisingly Eve Raynar's body was spitting out fresh blood.
