XIAO SHUXIANG'S

426 - Something Unexpected VII

As it was written on the piece of paper in his hand, Xiao Shuxiang was now among the crowd of people at the Big Dipper Star Market. He searched around for the person who wrote this message but still could not find it.

"Lan Zhi couldn't possibly have mistaken the writing of the White Cat, so I'm sure the girl must be around here somewhere,"

Xiao Shuxiang watched every person walking in the hope that one of them was the person he was looking for. Several times he even had to jostle with the buyers in this huge market.

!

Xiao Shuxiang was startled and spontaneously caught a girl who accidentally bumped into him. The girl was just an ordinary human and seemed to be in a hurry.

"Pardon me, sir. I didn't mean it,"

"Mn, no problem. You're okay, right?"

"Yes, once again sorry."

The girl rushed away, she looked down embarrassed as she had just tripped on her own clothes and instead bumped into a handsome young man. It was so embarrassing that he could not hold his sight.

Xiao Shuxiang returned to look for his White Cat when his right wrist had suddenly been pulled by someone. There was no killing intent on the hand that drew him, hence he did not rebel at all.

Xiao Shuxiang was pulled into a fairly quiet and fairly dark street. However, the delicate fragrance of the wisteria flower made him realize that the one who attracted him was none other than Ling Qing Zhu.

The girl looked different from the water wave pink dress. His white hair was long with a flower-shaped braid on the right side of his head hair.

"You're slow."

That sweet, melodious-sounding voice was still a cold patio in Xiao Shuxiang's ears. He exhaled and looked at the thin veiled girl in front of him.

"First of all, I must prove the authenticity of the letter that came to me. You alone, why drive him like that? The arrow you taped, almost hollowed my head out, you know,"

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest as the grip on his hand slipped off. "You know, for a fraction of a second - I felt my head was hollow. You really have a heart.."

"Hmph, it would probably be good if it did happen." Ling Qing Zhu turned his body around and then stepped away, his words just now made Xiao Shuxiang flinch in shock.

"White Cat?! Are you sure of what you said? You really want to kill me? Are you not afraid of being a widow? Wait..!"

Xiao Shuxiang caught up with the white-haired girl, she cursed all the way and only stopped when all her curses were not noticed at all.

".. This girl sucks." Xiao Shuxiang pouted, yet the next second he thought he wanted to say something. He then accelerated his pace until he walked right beside Ling Qing Zhu.

"White Cat, you look beautiful tonight. Are you dressed up?"

!

Ling Qing Zhu stopped stepping, there was no light bright enough to illuminate this path and his Guardian instead praised her beauty.

He did not want to argue with the young man beside him because according to him, Xiao Shuxiang could have had a pretty good sense of sight in the dim moonlight like tonight.

"Mm, what's kentara?"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, his intention originally wanted to tease Ling Qing Zhu and make the girl harrumphed in embarrassment. But what happened was that the girl beside him looked very relaxed.

"Why silence?"

!

"Oh, I was just thinking about whether you really are my White Cat.."

"Hmph, shameful."

Ling Qing Zhu continued walking. He sent the letter with the arrow as nothing but a redemption for his guilt because this afternoon his Guardian Guard could not enjoy the day alone with him. That's why he's doing all this, even though he can't believe he's actually doing this.

"What are we going to do next? Is it just walking down this dark alley?" Xiao Shuxiang rubbed the wall beside him as he continued walking. He also continued his words.

"White cat, I know this includes a date. But to be honest I'm a layman on this sort of thing, you got an idea?"

"Nothing."

"No one?! So we're just walking around aimlessly, aren't we? You're a girl, don't girls often plan things for their first date?"

"…" Ling Qing Zhu had no plans, arguably this was also her first date. "You want to hunt with me tonight?"

?!

Xiao Shuxiang did not expect to hear that. It had been a long time since he had hunted at night, so naturally his White Cat invitation immediately caught his attention.

*

*

Ling Qing Zhu took his Guardian Guardians to a burial area. This kind of place, especially at night - is often found undead and cursed spirits. A suitable place to practice while testing one's inner resilience.

The moon in the sky is not completely intact, but the light can still illuminate the burial area even though it is not too bright.

Xiao Shuxiang had only been walking for about three minutes in the burial area with Ling Qing Zhu, yet they had already seen three undead with quite terrible conditions.

Two bodies walked headless, their clothes dirty and torn in parts. In view of his posture, the two bodies are male and female.

The last corpse had a half-broken face, its mouth spewed out green liquid and its right hand held tightly to an axe. Her clothes were full of scratches and her legs were in the wrong position.

!!

Without a cue, Ling Qing Zhu instantly darted and lunged at one of the undead. He drew his sword and was nimbly able to split the body of the corpse.

Xiao Shuxiang did not remain silent. He came crashing and only relied on his bare hands - he was able to punch the chests of two corpses in one strike until it exploded. A sigh instantly filled the deepest part of his chest.

"It's fun.. But the foul scent here is too thick. Is it okay to create a funeral park adjacent to a residential area?" Xiao Shuxiang let out his little blue flame and instantly burned the undead he had attacked earlier.

It only took one breath and the two corpses instantly became ashes. Little Blue Flame Xiao Shuxiang was now even able to burn a Black Gold level cultivator to nothing in a matter of breath alone, and its effects could increase with his anger.

There was no need for the Soul Restraint Chain Seal anymore, it was already unable to withstand the current strength of Xiao Shuxiang. There is even a possibility that Yinng xiong would not be able to hold his master if filled with anger and bloodlust.

Ling Qing Zhu noticed the undead below him which, though already split in two, was still moving. He had just wanted to slash, but Xiao Shuxiang's Blue Flame had already burned him first.

"White Cat,"

Ling Qing Zhu stepped up following his Guardian Guard as the young man called out. He sheathed his sword back while walking beside this all-black dressed young man.

He did not forget to say that the living corpses would not be able to get out of the burial area, it was because there was some kind of seal that locked them in this place.

"I knew. Since I got in here, I've felt it. But the seal didn't feel strong at all, what if some villain broke the seal?"

"This place has a plated seal."

"Good then,"

Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu did not know what kind of lovers enjoyed the day together. If you're just walking around the market, buying some clothes, watching opera, and eating at the city's best stores - it's very common.

But if it's a walk in the burial area, hunting the undead and the cursed spirits, as well as talking about the flaws of each other's fighting techniques - then it's just an actual date. Although it was in reality, only Xiao Shuxiang spoke the most.

".. White cat, you must answer my question. Between a boy and a girl, which one do you like?"

"Women."

Xiao Shuxiang was actually originally asking because of the lack of conversation materials, it was unexpected that Ling Qing Zhu had instead answered his strange question just now.

"I thought you liked boys,"

"Women, like Bing'Er."

"Oh.. So how much do you want?"

"Nine."

!

Xiao Shuxiang must have misheard, or else the White Cat did not understand the intent of the conversation just now. Yet seeing the firmness in the eyes of this white-haired girl beside him, he could no longer dodge.

"The nine children are too many, White Cat.."

"It wasn't you who gave birth."

"L-yes.. But those nine girls will be very noisy, ah. What if one of them has a man?"

"Then we have no choice but to take care of him."

Ling Qing Zhu still looked calm in replying to each of his Guardians Protective sayings. He also did not let down any vigilance at all towards the undead who were likely approaching towards him.

Different from the undead who were like having no sense, the damned spirits in this burial garden were actually much more numerous and stronger. Yet not a single spirit dared to approach in fear of Xiao Shuxiang.

The Alchemist Chef himself did not know this, nor did Ling Qing Zhu. The thin veiled girl only harbored her curiosity because every time she saw the cursed spirit-the spirit instantly disappeared that very second.

"Let's go home." Ling Qing Zhu did not like being in the burial area for too long.

This kind of place was usually frequented by cultivators from the Black Stream, and sometimes warriors from the Demon Party. He was not afraid, but if his Guardian were to meet them-then it was certain that a fight would occur.

"Let's go home."

"Wait, White Cat. Why are you in such a hurry..?"

Although he did not want to leave, Xiao Shuxiang did not refuse when his hand was pulled by his White Cat. He had just wanted to let out a shameless remark, yet his premonition had suddenly become unpleasant.

!?

Immediately Xiao Shuxiang pulled Ling Qing Zhu, lifted the girl up, and jumped backwards. His feet landed smoothly on the ground.

Ling Qing Zhu was initially startled at being pulled suddenly by his Guardian Guard. But it didn't take long until he realized the atmosphere in this place was a bit different.

"White Cat, you just dragged me into trouble.."

Ling Qing Zhu could feel a tremor on the chest of his Guardian Saint as this young man spoke. However, he did not know which part of his actions were making his Guardian Guardians get dragged into trouble.

Xiao Shuxiang began to take down his White Cat carefully, his attention always fixed to the front. He never weakens alertness.

"Nights like this.. No young couple should be in the cemetery.."

?!

"Women's voice." Xiao Shuxiang stood in front of his White Cat and asked the girl to be careful.

Behind the dim moonlight, a black shadow began to appear and seemed to walk closer. Slowly, his form began to appear.

The beautiful girl with slender thighs that were as white as snow, had a red scorpion painting on one of her thighs and it could be clearly seen by Xiao Shuxiang's senses.

The girl also has a nice upper body, this can be seen from the half of her chest that is not covered in clothes. Her hair was long, braided on several parts and she had a charming smile.

For a moment, Xiao Shuxiang remembered Shuai Niao. But when compared, his uncle was still much more inviting to taste.

"He's from the Devil Party, Mei Qi." Ling Qing Zhu knew the girl, the Devil Party is one of the big parties in the Central Continent. Dealing with them is like seeking death.

"I just watched well.. Apparently in front of me this is Miss Ling, how should I greet you?" Mei Qi walked over, the red scarf on her clothes was fluttering with the cool of the night breeze.

Subconsciously, Xiao Shuxiang clenched both of his hands. He looks like he's going to curse.

"absolutely frustrating. Why is it that every time you meet a beautiful girl, the bottom is almost visible. I want to pin him on the ground and tear all his clothes off right now,"

Ling Qing Zhu could hear very well. He looked at his Guardian Protector and as if he wanted to ask why this young man should be that sorry. The one who was dressed impolitely was Mei Qi, not her Guardian Guardian.

"Miss Ling, what if you introduce that handsome young man beside you to me? Or if you don't want to, just answer my question. What are you doing in this place?"

The slight movement on Mei Qi's left index finger made the thread that was stretched out in front of her cut off. That thin thread was what Xiao Shuxiang had avoided.

"White Cat, tell me. How likely are we to escape this place without fighting him?"

"Under the number one."

Xiao Shuxiang snorted, he smiled bitterly and then exhaled softly. The next second he disappeared and appeared right before Mei Qi with a powerful punch.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang's fist was able to be fended off well by his opponent's soft and delicate hand. He then used an attack from another hand, but it was also repelled easily.

Mei Qi jumped dodging when her opponent used a kick. He smiled and attacked back using the same movement technique.

"You're a rough young man. We don't even know each other, yet,"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang resisted the attack from his opponent's left hand, his eyes met a look with eyes full of makeup belonging to Mei Qi.

"You don't look like a good girl, so why waste your time getting to know you?"

"Hoh.. Like you're a fine young man."

Mei Qi banged her body backwards, she attacked using her red scarf, along with a secret weapon that was a sharp thin thread.

Xiao Shuxiang realized that and dodged as fast as he could. The ground she had just stepped on exploded every time it was hit by the scarf and thin thread belonging to Mei Qi.

Ling Qing Zhu watched the fierce fight. If Mei Qi was here, then the other members of the Demon Party were too!!

OH, BAAAM..!

"White Cat..!"

"Where are you looking, handsome?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was hit by a tread attack that hit the right part of his chest. He bounced and almost hit the ground hard if he could not balance the body.

"Damn it," Xiao Shuxiang spat out blood. He looked at Mei Qi in annoyance. "From the beginning we had no problem with you, why did you do this?!"

Mei Qi seemed to be frowning, "Handsome, do you think criminals need a reason to slash anyone's head?"

!

"You're right," Xiao Shuxiang glanced over to where his White Cat was. Fortunately, the girl was in good shape, even though she was currently fighting with three warriors at once. "But I don't like you bothering me,"

"Handsome, you're the one who came here first. So what am I supposed to do? Release you, hm? Ah.. Sure do. But you have to spend the night with me~"

Xiao Shuxiang shuddered as he got the blink of an eye from the openly dressed girl in front of him. He then took out his three Little Blue Flames and ordered them to attack.

Mei Qi smiled faintly, just once a flick of a finger and she took out three red-colored Little Flames. Once his flutter and fire shot towards the opponent's small fire.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, yet still tried to act calm. He then lunged at Mei Qi without caring about the thin thread the girl was likely to be able to split her head.

"There's no other way, he's dangerous." Xiao Shuxiang's right hand pulled a long ribbon that tied his hair. He used the red ribbon like a sword.

In the air, the long ribbon is very flexible. But when it collided with the cloth belonging to Mei Qi - suddenly there was a clash of two swords. Moreover, the blow from the red ribbon was able to produce a large enough explosion when it touched the ground.

"That's great. The beautiful movement of a handsome young man, I want you." Mei Qi floated in the air, he noticed his opponent from top to bottom and indeed the young man in front of him was impeccable at all.

Xiao Shuxiang's long hair that was scattered and seemed to be being waved by the wind further added to his charm. His clean face and posture attracted anyone to hug him tightly.

Even at a distance like this, the gentle fragrance from the young man's body could still be smelled by Mei Qi. He had indeed heard a lot about Protective Guardian Ling Qing Zhu, but it was unexpected that the figure would be this beautiful.

Xiao Shuxiang himself could actually end this fight quickly and immediately help his White Cat. But his feelings said that he had to be careful when using every attack technique of his.

He then took out three pill grains from within his Semestal Bracelet and again attacked Mei Qi.

!!

Suddenly he destroyed the three pills which instantly gave off the most foul smell ever. Using this opportunity, Xiao Shuxiang rushed to help Ling Qing Zhu and attacked the three members of the Demon Party before taking his White Cat away.

Xiao Shuxiang used the Moving Mirror. His every move was so calculating that he could save himself and save his White Cat. Unfortunately when he landed he had to feel pain because Ling Qing Zhu accidentally hit the chest of his field.

"Aiya! White Cat.. You have a lot of heart.." Xiao Shuxiang groaned, he rubbed his chest that was hurting.

Ling Qing Zhu himself did not look at all guilty. He stood up and cleaned the dirt on his clothes. Several sword marks were visible, but no serious injuries were visible on his body.

"I didn't think you were smart enough either," Ling Qing Zhu reached out and helped his Guardian Stand up.

It is not cowardly to run from an opponent. This action was correct considering Mei Qi was not a person who was easily overcome.

"Mei Qi is a warrior with great eye abilities. He can imitate your every move and battle technique. It's also good that you didn't take out your sword or flute,"

"White Cat, you talk a lot when you talk about other people. That's actually good, so keep it up. I also already felt that there was something strange about the girl, it turned out that my premonition was indeed true."

Xiao Shuxiang was actually curious about what the Demon Party swordsman was doing in a burial area. But given the name of their party - it felt like there was no need to ask anymore.

Compared to that, Xiao Shuxiang was more surprised to see the scene that was in front of him now.

Previously he had not thought about the location point of his move and directly took out a mirror. Now before him this was not one of the places in the Sky Pagoda Sect, let alone the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent.

!!

Ling Qing Zhu also just regained consciousness, the atmosphere around him was so gripping and truly terrifying. He and his Guardian were like they were in the middle of a forest where the trees could probably eat them.

"It's an amazing date.." Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he tied his hair back and seemed to have no problem with the circumstances around him.

"This place looks not good," Ling Qing Zhu was not even comfortable with the air. His premonition said this was a very dangerous location.

"Calm down, I know this place. We're close to my old house.." Xiao Shuxiang smiled meaningfully.
