XIAO SHUXIANG'S
405 - Soleil
From the very beginning, Xiao Shuxiang did not like humans. Rise up and live in a White and Neutral Flow environment was not his will.
He just had no choice because at that time the condition of his body and strength was very sad. You could say, he had to start all over again.
If at the time of the resurrection-he was in his original strength, then even though his body shrunk to a dwarf once, he was, it was impossible that he would stay in the second environment of the stream and more impossible that he would not create chaos.
Hu Li realized that.
Fate is playing its Young Master.
Xiao Shuxiang's life journey required him to stay and live days with creatures he did not like.
".. Time travel made Young Master Xiao experience many events, and little by little, Master's heart began to change, even without him noticing.."
Hu Li looked at the sky for a moment before setting his gaze on the two children who were resting at a distance some distance away from where he was standing.
".. I like Young Master Xiao now, where He leads a quiet life without having to come into contact with blood every day. But if Young Master wants to return like his old self again, then I have no choice but to kill them."
Hu Li simply followed Xiao Shuxiang.
If that master chose to antagonize humans, then he would too. Even if the two of them will return to be the enemies that the humans fear again.
Hu Li stared at the fire pattern on his palm which now turned blue again, but then turned black again.
"My Young Master is a smart thinker. Whatever path he chose was always well thought out. He must know the impact of every decision he makes."
Hu Li was right. If Xiao Shuxiang were to become siding with the beings from The Fallen Angel world, then he would be antagonized by his current companions.
He had to cut off his relationship with his father and mother, severing ties with his grandfather, with Xiao Lu, Qi Xuan, Jing Mi and his other fellow students.
He also had to sever his ties with the Patriarchs and disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, with Lai Kuan Ye, including his uncle and foster aunt in the Demon World, as well as his people who were in the Elf World.
…
Xiao Shuxiang still hugged Lumiere while still holding his sword. His current feelings were not rueful, but by hugging he could buy time and use this to think.
Xiao Shuxiang was not a young man who could be affected by words, especially when it was spoken by a girl like Lumiere.
He admitted that this creature in his arms is very charming, a beauty that is peerless. But still, the heart that is moved because of the beauty of a girl is never in the story of her life.
"…"
Lumiere seemed so comfortable hugging Xiao Shuxiang. He kept his eyes closed and felt warmth on the body of the young man he had long wanted to meet.
"Lumiere.." Xiao Shuxiang's voice sounded soft, he did not try to release this winged girl's embrace from him.
".. I wanted to apologize. I can't go back to you and leave my family in this place,"
!!
Lumiere slightly loosened his embrace, he looked at the face of the young man in front of him and asked Xiao Shuxiang to think about it again. The human race is not a family, they are creatures that should be expelled from this world.
".. You don't understand what I'm saying? I-"
"I understand. Totally understand. A few minutes ago I was thinking about letting go of everything and coming with you. Before, I wanted to finish my mission that I had forgotten and make this world your home. But it just crossed a memory that made me not hesitate to choose it,"
Xiao Shuxiang rubbed Lumiere's cheek gently with a gentle smile. This beautiful girl who first broke her heart, but now no longer.
".. Humans are cruel creatures, but there is one among them who really accepts me. He didn't bring up my past, he didn't urge me to choose the path I was going to take, and he was also the first person I really appreciated."
!!
"Shuxiang's.." Lumiere was surprised to see a drop of water fall on the young man's eye patch while still showing his smile. He had first seen Xiao Shuxiang cry.
".. Uncle Lai Kuan Ye was the one who almost died because of me. He knew I was getting back up, but never held a grudge against me. He even accepted me despite the many bad things I did to him,"
Xiao Shuxiang also remembered Lan Guan Zhi. The young man was the first friend he had. Although his initial encounter with the cultivator did not go well, but now they became close friends.
".. You're right, I've lived a long time in this world and I've witnessed human cruelty that never changes. Their hearts are hard to guess, and that's why they're such fascinating creatures. The proof is that I have made Elder Three live alone without feeling the love of a father, but he still forgives me.."
"Shuxiang's.."
"I also killed Uncle White Cat, right in front of his own eyes. But he did not hate me or take revenge on me. I have hurt a lot of people, but they will accept me. The man you thought was cruel.. None of them live with me,"
Lumiere shook his head and rubbed the water that descended slowly on Xiao Shuxiang's cheek. "You don't get influenced, they do it out of fear of you. They're trying to pull you back so you don't become who you were. You're a force that can protect and destroy, and they're trying so hard to pull you to their side."
Hearing Lumiere, made Xiao Shuxiang remember what Lan Guan Zhi said, always thinking of him as a 'Good Friend', no matter what he might become.
"I'm not disputing your words, that's also true. Honestly, until now.. There is still one point in my heart that wants destruction, but the presence of you and Qian Kun is not in it. You're a past I don't want to be part of.. Lumiere."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang's speech was gentle, but it was able to make Lumiere's feelings shaken. This seemed to give him a sign that he already had no place in the life of even the young man's heart in front of him.
Ying xiong, Xiao Shuxiang's heirloom sword was seen emitting a faint golden light. It was really the first time that it happened, as if he was in favor of the owner's decision.
"Shuxiangsu.. After what happened.. Are you gonna forget me?" Lumiere still can't believe it.
"Since I first lived in this world, everything about you and that world has disappeared from my memory. You can conclude it yourself,"
Lumiere seemed to have been wrong, the young man before him was a figure that was difficult to conquer. He was indeed a creature that had once melted the heart of the black jade belonging to Xiao Shuxiang, but now he no longer had any place in the heart of this young man.
Xiao Shuxiang was never willing to say 'sorry' and 'thank you', it was because he considered the two words to be the boundary of a relationship.
He who apologized to Lumiere was a sign that he had just reinforced the boundary line on his relationship with the beautiful winged creature.
"I'm glad to see you.. But please leave this world immediately," Xiao Shuxiang was just about to raise his weapon, but Lumiere first turned into a grain of light and disappeared.
The winged girl appeared at a distance of about seven meters from where Xiao Shuxiang was. His face looked sad, he was crying.
In three breaths, Lumiere's body changed. At being taller, the clothes he was wearing became the clothes belonging to men. His long white hair shortened and his facial posture also changed.
"Xiao Shuxiang..!" lumiere's voice sounded manly, his eyes now sharp and almost deadly. He exclaimed in a loud voice.
"How dare you make my sister cry. I will not forgive you..!"
Dozens of light swords appeared in the air and around the winged creature. His extremely manly voice made Xiao Shuxiang so shocked.
He knew Lumiere had an older brother, but it was unexpected that the winged girl shared a body with her soul, let alone that it was known that Lumiere's older brother was a male.
"Have you not recognized me yet, Shuxiang? You are truly disgusting." the cold voice of the winged creature made Xiao Shuxiang involuntarily hold his breath.
"Lumire.. How-to"
"Lumiere? You still dare to mention my sister's name after what you did to her? He doesn't even want to see you. You're a dirty creature."
Cold and tart, yet his face was like a sculpture from the realm of gods. He is a winged young man who is very charming and no less admirable than Lumiere.
What Xiao Shuxiang saw was none other than Soleil, Lumiere's twin brother. He was also just a small piece of Soleil's true soul. His presence now is to carry out a plan that was delayed due to the actions of his sister.
"Lumiere is too flavorful even to a pawn like you. He's trying to persuade you and give you a chance, baby you've chosen the wrong path."
Xiao Shuxiang actually did not know how Lumiere could divide the body with Soleil, but the presence of the winged young man had left him a little relieved. At the very least, he would not hesitate to swing Ying xiong.
As dozens of light swords shot towards him, Xiao Shuxiang remained standing still and only slightly squinted - he took out an equally numerous Moving Mirror.
There was one larger mirror and it appeared right behind Soleil. The entire sword of light now came out of the mirror and pointed directly at its own owner.
!!
Soleil was indeed great, without moving at all-the tens of swords of light disappeared by itself. The look in his eyes still pointed at Xiao Shuxiang.
"How dare you challenge me with your little power.. Xiao Shuxiang's..!"
The cry from Soleil made the ground tremble, Xiao Shuxiang was forced to drift to avoid being affected by the tremors on the ground. Although the enemy is only a fragment of the soul, but it is still dangerous.
Soleil, "Darkness is only necessary.. Down in front of the light. Now get on your knees and accept your punishment!"
!!
The situation in this place instantly became extremely bright and Xiao Shuxiang felt his body being hit by something heavy.
He fell but did not kiss the ground because he was resting on Ying xiong. He spewed fresh blood due to the pressure he put on his body.
Soleil disappeared and appeared right in front of Xiao Shuxiang. The look in his eyes looked demeaning, he obviously hated this young man for having messed up a well-crafted plan.
Before using the Resurrection Realm, Xiao Shuxiang had passed through a journey in the Demon World, the Elf World, including the Siren World.
He was the first cultivator to reach the three worlds, and that was the knowledge and memory that the Fallen Angel World needed.
They want to rule the Four Worlds, making the Demons, the Elves, the Human Nation, and the Sirens in the dark of suffering.
They want to make these creatures live full of misery like in hell, as they experience.
In one flick of his wings, Soleil made Xiao Shuxiang bounce very far and only stopped after hitting the ground very hard. The sound of the impact even made the grass and the ground burn.
Xiao Shuxiang felt his entire body ache, yet he never let go of Ying xiong. He tried to breathe slowly, but the intense pressure again made him vomit blood.
"Shameful! You're a disgrace, Shuxiang..! Living with people has made you a part of them. If it wasn't because you were still needed, then right now you would have been reduced to ashes."
Xiao Shuxiang's face looked bad, yet he could still smile when he heard Soleil's words. He tried to get up, even though his body felt very heavy.
"You know, now I'm pretty sure that my choice was right. You're.. Lumieres.. Including Qian Kun.. You don't deserve to stay in this world."
Xiao Shuxiang was finally able to stand up, his body was still feeling depressed, and the sweat point on his forehead was a sign that he had put in a lot of effort to resist the pressure this winged young man was putting in.
Soleil snorted, "Even this small pressure you try desperately. Really weak,"
Xiao Shuxiang could not refute, but that did not mean that he was unable to resist. His enemy was a being from another world, so he was just waiting for the right moment to attack and now was the time.
He took out his Swordsman Aura to alleviate the slight pressure Soleil exerted. Xiao Shuxiang started to open his voice.
"When the light gets brighter, the shadow becomes more dense. I can't beat you, but it's different when all I'm fighting is a little piece of soul."
A single hand move cast a shadow of Xiao Shuxiang and Soleil spitting out thick black smoke and then shot up until it exploded at its highest point.
This incident made the atmosphere around them return as usual.
!!
Soleil flinched, unexpectedly this young man still remembered one of the powers from The Fallen Angel World. He spread his wings and then shot into the air.
Xiao Shuxiang's body was already released from the pressure, he darted along with the skin of the face that briefly formed a blackish thin vein.
Two flashes. Black and white clashed against each other in the air to create a loud sound and a loud thump.
One after another stray attacks hit the ground and set the grass on fire. It was unknown the location where Meili Mao sent Xiao Shuxiang, but provided this environment was not inhabited by humans - then there was no reason for him to withstand the force.
"Why don't you use your best weapon, huh? Are you underestimating me?" soleil's stretched wings were now thrusting the sword in large numbers.
The swords pointed at Xiao Shuxiang who was instantly fended off with Yinng xiong. The Alchemist Chef knew what weapon Soleil meant.
"You want me to take out the Celestial Emperor Sword so you can snatch it from me, right? I'm not that stupid. I'm not gonna get it out!"
Xiao Shuxiang knew clearly, after all the Celestial Emperor Sword was not something that was freely taken out. It was a peg from the Elf World, using it to fight against a creature like Soleil - it was not impossible that his sword would be snatched and instead serve as the weapon of the destruction of the Human World.
".. Yinng xiong is more than enough to send you back to hell!" Xiao Shuxiang exclaimed and created around twenty Moving Mirrors.
He used the Fire Respiratory Technique by using Yinng xiong and blasted his attack into one of the mirrors. In that instant, Xiao Shuxiang's attack came out from the other mirror and attacked Soleil.
The attack shaped head of the Fire Dragon gushed out simultaneously from within the Moving Mirror.
One attack alone already had a great effect, especially if the attack numbered more than ten. The enemy must be impossible to survive.
BLAAAAR..!!
Xiao Shuxiang gasped for quite a bit of Qi. He had two Dantians, yet still this was exhausting. He had just wanted to complain, but the attack came back at him.
!!
Elsewhere, Meili Mao also fought fiercely with Lan Xiao. He used all of his strength including using Angel Powder in each of his attacks.
GRAAAO..!!
Lan Xiao was never afraid. One point the Angel Powder did not touch him because O Zhan who continued to be in his head created a shield with fox fire that he had.
Their cooperation had left Meili Mao quite overwhelmed. Moreover, Lan Xiao and O Zhan were also assisted by Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu. The two cultivators had made this battle groove side with them.
Grrrr..
Meili Mao growled. Four-on-one is really unfair, but despite the weight-she will still fight back. He was actually upset because of the arrival of two unwanted people.
Pii..!
Graao, though,
O Zhan and Lan Xiao both looked at each other, both of them staring intently at Meili Mao and instantly spitting out an attack from each other's mouths.
O Zhan with his fox fire and Lan Xiao with a burst of wind that made the fox fire grow bigger.
!!
Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu did not waste this opportunity, they reinforced the attacks of those two Demonic Beasts with their best attacks.
Meili Mao realized it and took out such a huge Moving Mirror. Unfortunately his weapon was broken and his mirror shattered into pieces.
!!
He was hit by a very powerful attack that made him bounce far away. Sounds like thunder roar accompanied when he was hit by an attack.
!!
His body was very sick. It was like being burned alive after being electrocuted by a high-powered lightning. Each of his bones felt cracked and his blood flow was extremely hot. He groans in pain.
Lan Guan Zhi swung Shanghai back and attacked Meili Mao, but the Cat Demonic Beast used a moving mirror to escape.
!!
Meili Mao desperately moved and this also made Xiao Shuxiang who was fighting fiercely with Soleil move places. They all returned to the Hundred Level Pagoda Island.
Xiao Qing Yan, Ling Ya Bing, the, and Hu Li who was on the roof of the pagoda was shocked when an enormous mirror was created above them and took out two Demonic Beasts and friends they recognized.
!!
A big attack also came and this was made by Soleil. He did not care about the place of his displacement, he still launched a powerful attack and this made the roof of the pagoda explode.
"Yes Bing..!" Xiao Qing Yan caught Ling Ya Bing and then jumped down from the pagoda. He could not float, but fortunately Lan Xiao quickly darted and saved them.
On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang was hit by a small portion of the explosion due to Soleil's attack. His body was mired and fell from the pagoda but quickly his left hand was grabbed by Ling Qing Zhu.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang's body was too heavy and Ling Qing Zhu's position was less stable, he was unable to hold his Guardian Guard and fell down.
Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he inserted Yinng xiong into his Semestal Bracelet and immediately caught Ling Qing Zhu.
He grimaced a little and tried to float while enduring the pain in his body.
"White cat, am I that heavy that you have trouble holding my body, huh? You should have held my hand even stronger, it's a good thing that I can still move quickly," Xiao Shuxiang looked at the girl in his carriage while nagging.
"You are indeed heavy." Ling Qing Zhu's voice was cold, he was unwilling to lose.
"Hey! Do you want me to let go?"
"I can float by myself."
Xiao Shuxiang was irritated and spontaneously pinched the folds of his White Cat knee. His actions left Ling Qing Zhu shocked to the point of barely believing.
"Peccful. Not shameless!" Ling Qing Zhu stared intently at Xiao Shuxiang and told his Guardian Guardians to immediately let go.
Xiao Shuxiang also wanted him to, but a sudden attack just came and made him have to dodge while still carrying Ling Qing Zhu. The opponent was like not letting him take a breath for a moment.
"White cat, let's get married after we go home later." Xiao Shuxiang's words spontaneously poked out of his lips, he was indeed a brash young man.
Why would you say such a thing at a time like this? Very ignorant of the place and so embarrassing.
