XIAO SHUXIANG'S

346 - The Feeling of Not Wearing

Several times Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, slowly touching his own chest. He could feel his heart racing so fast, as if his internal organs were about to jump out.

"Shuxiang, how are you?"

?!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, his eyes looking downward. Right at the door of the room was open-he could see a 9-year-old boy dressed in white with a purple wisteria.

That child was none other than Tianqi Mao. His distinctive feature is always on clothes with skirts along the knee that appear to expand like flowers.

He also always carried a fan that was in line with the color of his clothes, his arrival to this room was none other than to see Xiao Shuxiang's condition.

"I gave you three days of self-training in order to make you calm down, as well as to let me know your talent for practicing on my own. But when I noticed, you didn't make much progress.."

High on the pillar of the place where Xiao Shuxiang was sitting cross-legged for more than 10 meters, Tianqi Mao needed to look up in order to see and speak to the Alchemist Chef.

".. You don't seem calm, is something bothering you?"

"Your eyes are very observant.." Xiao Shuxiang smiled awkwardly and then exhaled a heavy breath, he told Tianqi Mao that his current feelings were being uneasy.

?

In one fan.. The fire that enveloped the eleven long pillars began to shrink. Tianqi Mao slowly floated towards the direction Xiao Shuxiang was located in.

"What's the problem?" Tianqi Mao asked as he was right in front of Xiao Shuxiang, his body seemingly floating in midair.

"I'm not sure I want to tell you this.."

Tianqi Mao's forehead shriveled, he could see that there was a change in the look on the face of the young man before him, Xiao Shuxiang was as if he was thinking of something.

"If you can't calm your heart, then this exercise is of no use at all. Talk if you have a problem,"

"..."

It was true that the current Xiao Shuxiang had a problem, but he hesitated to say it. It was not that he did not believe in Tianqi Mao, but because the matter was related to his suspicion on the last pillar of the Scarlet Shadow.

Just a moment ago, when he was concentrating on calming down.. The memory of the Scarlet Shadow suddenly came and haunted his mind. His feelings instantly turned unpleasant right then and there.

"Shuxiang's? You really think of something, let's say it. Maybe with you telling me your anxiety, your feelings could be better,"

"..."

Silence for a while and then Xiao Shuxiang's lips began to move to speak.

".. Tianqi Mao, do you believe.. Can destiny be changed?"

"Hm?" Tianqi Mao blinked at Xiao Shuxiang's question just now, he played his fan softly and then began to answer the young man's question.

"Nobody knows what human destiny is like other than the one set, Shuxiang.."

?!

"You mean a predetermined destiny.. 'Death'?"

"Mn, right. Every living creature will not know at what age they will die. But one thing is certain, that death is always a shadow to every creature in this world, and that is the Destiny that is Set,"

Tianqi Mao even explained that cultivators who had lived for even hundreds of years.. It would not be able to run away from 'Death', no matter how high its cultivation level was.

"Wait, but I've escaped death. So how do you explain that?"

Tianqi Mao could see that there was nervousness on Xiao Shuxiang's face, the young man before him was clearly not in his usual condition.

"It's easy, if you can escape death.. Then you weren't meant to die then. But clearly, death will surely come to you, only time and place are unknown when,"

...

Tianqi Mao played his fan in front of Xiao Shuxiang's face while mentioning the young man's name. He then asked about Xiao Shuxiang's current state of heart.

".. Are you better now? Or is there something you want to ask?"

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Tianqi Mao for a moment and then shook his head slowly, "I think the current one is no more. Let's start the exercise,"

"You sure? You're doing better?"

"Mn, this is enough to treat my anxiety.."

Tianqi Mao nodded, he then asked Xiao Shuxiang to close his eyes and concentrate fully. Because he will explain how to train to improve the Mirror Move Technique.

".. I'll only explain it once, so you should listen and understand well what I'm saying. It's closed-door training and I'm only helping you one day, after which you have to do it alone,"

Tianqi Mao also said that he would only act as a monitor, and would not give Xiao Shuxiang any help. So every explanation this time really should be well remembered.

The Transferring Mirror was actually a technique belonging to the Demonic Beasts in the form of a cat, a technique belonging to the Tianqi Mao people.

It was difficult for humans to learn this much less improve it, Xiao Shuxiang having the chance to do so was clearly something that should not be ignored.

".. The key to improving this technique is in your strength and talent. You should be able to remember every place you've ever explored, whether it's the place where you put your mirror seal marker or not.."

Xiao Shuxiang heard so clearly every utterance of Tianqi Mao. Not only the memory of when he was first in Tani Village, but also himself remembered the places and all the events in his past, including any changes to the condition of the land he treaded.

".. Next you separate them from the place you most want to go, or the place you think you have the most intimate connection with yourself,"

Demonic Beast in the form of an ape that has a golden-ringed magic wand is a rival and his friend in making chaos.

The Demon World really shook violently when they dueled with the intention of killing each other.

The next world that Xiao Shuxiang remembered was the most peaceful and beautiful world, the place where the Elves lived and lived there. He thought of Eins, somehow the white owl of his friend was in this moment.

".. The more clearly you remember a place that works for you, the more precise your Moving Mirror will be. So even without even laying a marker seal once, you can go anywhere you want,"

Xiao Shuxiang nodded softly without opening his eyes, he continued to focus on remembering the locations he had been in, including the Siren World.

".. When you clearly remember one place and are confident in that place, then try to take out a small moving mirror. This stage is more difficult because your focus will be halved and will increase,"

In one slow flutter, the flames began to burst until the room became hotter. Tianqi Mao explained that this blaze could be both good luck and misfortune for Xiao Shuxiang.

".. You will not be tired in using your mind because this fire serves other than to provide warmth, also to clear your mind. But if you push yourself, this fire will be very hot and the worst possibility is that you can fall out of here without you knowing it,"

Tianqi Mao was already very good at helping Xiao Shuxiang practice, he explained everything in detail and was certainly easy to understand by this foster brother of his.

".. Successful or not this exercise.. It all depends on your own efforts. Next I'll come, but no longer make a sound to talk to you,"

Tianqi Mao started to float down, he then walked towards the door and then left Xiao Shuxiang alone in this room. The young man seemed to be very focused on concentrating.

Not only was that Alchemist Chef practicing, but it was also Ling Qing Zhu. The white-haired and thin-veiled beauty had always practiced sword training in the Tianqi Mao residence.

He had originally trained on his own, but the next day Yi Wen came and became his opponent. They also occasionally visited Xiao Lu at the Middle Sun Emperor's palace and invited the girl to practice together.

Dai Chen, the Young Emperor seemed busy taking care of the files and political matters that Xiao Lu did not understand.

Brother-in-law Xiao Shuxiang was sitting every day and occasionally massaging his head, he really felt that being the 'Emperor' made his bones porous as a result of continuing to sit.

".. Haish.. When will these papers be finished? I feel like I'm over eighty years old now,"

This was the eleventh time that Dai Chen condemned the same thing, he massaged his nape slowly and moved his neck several times due to aches. Although he was a cultivator, but doing this job was still exhausting.

".. I'd rather fight three days and three nights without stopping than have to sit down and make out with this pile of papers,"

!

"Darling, can I come in?"

Dai Chen heard the sound of knocking on the door and also the voice of a familiar woman in his ears. It was none other than Li Qian Xie, his first wife as well as the daughter of the aged Li Jing Hua-Middle Sun Emperor.

He let his wife in and let her in. The large door opened and showed two servants opening the door, as well as a long-haired beautiful girl dressed in yellowish green butterfly wings.

"You're wearing that uniform.. Did you just go to the Butterfly Sect?"

"Yes, I haven't been there in a long time. The elder is not around, right now only Senior Ro Wei and Aunt Shao Nu are taking care of the sect, so I feel worried.."

Dai Chen stood up and walked towards Li Qian Xie, he was embracing his wife with full gentleness while gently reprimanding the long-haired woman.

"You shouldn't go anywhere in this body condition.." Dai Chen rubbed Li Qian Xie's distended stomach and took her to sit in his chair.

Li Qian Xie was indeed currently pregnant with her first child, her gestational age was now 8 months, it should not be at times like this that she went far away from the palace surroundings.

".. You don't worry me, I won't forgive me if something happens to you,"

"I'm sorry, but I'm fine.. You don't scold me~"

"I'm not mad at you, but next time you should tell me first. You two are my responsibility, and enough Lu'Er to cause trouble, you can't imitate him. Understood?"

Dai Chen pinched slowly on Li Qian Xie's right cheek, he got a slow nod from his adorable-looking wife.

"Darling, you take care of these files every day.. Isn't he bored? How about we visit Senior Xiao, I heard from Big Brother Lu.. He was training at the Dew Flower City Guardian's residence,"

"Mh.. I still have a lot of work, but.." Dai Chen looked at Li Qian Xie and then gently rubbed his first wife's head, ".. We'll go, but not to Tianqi Mao's place,"

"Mn? You don't want to see Senior Xiao?"

"Hmh, it won't. I don't want to see that guy's shitty face. Every time I remember it, my head hurts. I'll take you to meet Young Master Lan, her calm nature and shady eyes are good for our unborn child's condition,"

Dai Chen would never be willing if Li Qian Xie met Xiao Shuxiang, he did not want the influence of the Alchemist Chef to decrease on the baby in his wife's stomach.

".. I don't want you to be close to Xiao'Er, he's a naughty young man and also shameless. Our son must not imitate his nature, so I will take you to the Sky Sword Sect. You can be with Young Master Lan all day if necessary, the place is clean and away from young men like Xiao Shuxiang,"

Li Qian Xie smiled as he looked at this anxiety of her husband. She remembered that her Senior Xiao had teased Dai Chen while posing on his bed, probably because of it until her husband was anti-She Xiao Shuxiang.

At the same time, the behavior of the Crazy Beggar Boy was becoming a hot topic of conversation among the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.

The bamboo stick youth quickly attracted attention due to his unexpected behavior.

".. Lan'Er Gege~ white clothes are not comfortable for me. Give me the usual clothes, black or red is more suitable for me Lan'Er Gege~"

"Mn, put that on first."

Right now, the Mad Beggar Boy was walking with Lan Guan Zhi, they were heading to the Rest Hall. It was just that every sect disciple stared at the two with a shocked facial expression and subconsciously opened his mouth wide.
