XIAO SHUXIANG'S

442 - Elf World III [Revised]

Xiao Shuxiang returned to the Sky Pagoda Sect, she had no interest in helping with her wedding preparations and preferred to disturb Ling Qing Zhu.

Just like now, Xiao Shuxiang measured the distance between himself and the window of his White Cat room and as if preparing to dash in.

In the count of three, Xiao Shuxiang actually did. But unfortunately he instead hit the chest of one's field which was none other than Ling Lang Tian.

!!

Previously, Ling Lang Tian had come to his sister's room to bring some cloth that he had just bought.

But after giving the cloth and talking to Ling Qing Zhu with his back to his sister, something darted and directly hit him.

"Shuxiang..!"

It was almost as if Ling Lang Tian had fallen down inelegantly because of this young man, it was fortunate that he could still position himself well even though both of his hands spontaneously coiled around Xiao Shuxiang's waist to prevent him from falling.

Xiao Shuxiang groaned, his nose hitting hard the chest of one's field. He then looked up and immediately blinked when he knew that the one he hit was Ling Lang Tian.

"Is this how you visit my sister?" Ling Lang Tian's voice was cold, as cold as the look in his eyes. Both of his hands were still on Xiao Shuxiang's waist, faintly he could smell the delicate fragrance of flowers.

Ling Lang Tian's forehead wrinkled. He knew this young man had just finished his bath, but the fragrant scent slapping his nose now was not the usual scent of Xiao Shuxiang's body, it felt very different.

Ling Lang Tian, "You... Did you take a bath at the brothel?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, the smell of his future sister-in-law was truly great. He's not even capable of words,"

Ling Qing Zhu was in this room, yet he just stood up while looking at Ling Lang Tian and Xiao Shuxiang in turn. The position of the two young men was quite close and could make anyone misunderstand.

"Shuxiang..?" Ling Lang Tian long waited and this young man still had not answered his question. He himself had not realized the position of his two hands.

"I did shower there, but how did you know?" Xiao Shuxiang started to take some distance, he felt the aura in this place was cold and uncomfortable.

The source of the aura he felt came from Ling Qing Zhu's gaze. Xiao Shuxiang also realized that he was too close to Ling Lang Tian.

"Candidate Sister-in-law. I didn't do anything in that kind of place. I was just visiting my foster uncle. You must know who he is, you've met him,"

Xiao Shuxiang was talking about Shuai Niao. He said, "Candidate Sister-in-law. No need to worry about anything, I am not a young man who is easily tempted by beautiful women,"

Ling Lang Tian exhaled, he knew that. "As long as you're here, I want to remind you something. Come here.."

Xiao Shuxiang followed Ling Lang Tian, he sat down on one of the chairs he had in his White Cat room. Ling Qing Zhu himself chose to go to the other side and did not join. She always was like this with her sister.

"White Cat.."

"Let her. You just listen to me."

Ling Lang Tian's voice was firm, he made Xiao Shuxiang look at him full of seriousness.

"... Four days from now is the Second Full Moon. The family members had already agreed to hold this wedding event for three days in the Middle Continent, three days in the Northern Continent, and if possible the Eastern Continent would do it for seven days."

It is not unusual for a wedding in the Eastern Continent to last for seven days, the longest even up to ten days. But when Xiao Lu married first, his wedding party accelerated due to attacks from members of the Scarlet Shadow.

"No one knows whether your wedding will go smoothly or not, of course no one expects bad things to happen."

Xiao Shuxiang nodded, he made a soft voice. "So.. What do you want me to do..?"

"From now on until your entire wedding to Qing Zhu'Er is over, you should never get involved in a fight."

"wait. Thats impossible. How could I possibly be quiet if anyone was looking for trouble during my wedding, Xiao Shuxiang isn't that stupid."

"Then can you promise not to kill?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, but before he answered-Ling Lang Tian had already said.

"... You only need to hold back for 17 days from today. Don't kill anyone and any animals during that time span, can you do it?"

Xiao Shuxiang thought for a moment before responding to Ling Lang Tian's request. This is indeed not a questionable thing, because anyone knows that bad luck will befall the person who on his happy day has taken the lives of others.

Ling Qing Zhu who was at a sitting table looked very calm. He did not participate in the conversation of the two young men, he was just a listener.

Ling Qing Zhu's gaze was straight ahead. His body position is firm with shaded eyes. It was hard to know what Ling Qing Zhu was thinking from the look in his eyes.

There was no movement whatsoever that he did. The thin veiled and long white-haired girl looked like a perfect jade statue.

Ling Qing Zhu was only seen frowning when he heard that he was starting to participate in Xiao Shuxiang's conversation with Ling Lang Tian.

Xiao Shuxiang, "... I can't promise the White Cat's safety. Honestly, I might be able to put him in danger."

"Nobody can decide the future, but I hope you take good care of it. At least if you can't promise a happy life for my sister, you can't make her sad."

Xiao Shuxiang nodded slowly, he then asked Ling Lang Tian for permission to take Ling Qing Zhu away. He called his White Cat closer.

"You don't take it too long, it's not good." Ling Lang Tian did not ask where Xiao Shuxiang would take his sister, it was not an important matter. It was just that the Alchemist Chef had to know when it was time to go home.

"Alright, I only went with him for three days. You don't mind, do you?"

!!

Ling Lang Tian flinched, he indeed did not forbid if Xiao Shuxiang brought his sister anywhere knowing this young man would not do such a thing, let alone her younger sister was not a weak girl. But the definition would be different if it took three days.

"Shuxiang, don't think because I gave you some leeway, then you can do your best. Where are you taking Qing Zhu'Er? And why does it have to be that long?"

Xiao Shuxiang tried to calm Ling Lang Tian down, he knew this young man was worried about his White Cat, but he had absolutely no intention of running Ling Qing Zhu let alone doing anything strange to him.

"... I know this Xiao Shuxiang does not belong to a good person. You may not believe it, but I'm not the one who ever lied. You also know how I've been doing all this time, right?"

"Patriarch, don't worry. I'll be fine."

Ling Qing Zhu finally opened his voice. He made Ling Lang Tian nod slowly and gave him permission to leave. Ling Qing Zhu then put together a hand and saluted before stepping out followed by his Guardian Protector.

Ling Lang Tian looked at his sister's back which was getting further away. Not long ago two servants came and told him that the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect asked him to attend a family member meeting.

Ling Qing Zhu himself was seen noticing a water point forming in the air. The water points then solidify to form a mirror as tall as an adult.

His steps began to slow down and were like allowing his Guardian Guardians to enter first.

He followed Xiao Shuxiang, the moving mirror faded again and they had moved.

*

*

Ling Qing Zhu's eyes spontaneously closed when he felt an overly bright light, he even tried to block part of his eyes with the back of his hand.

It was only a moment that Ling Qing Zhu's eyes began to adjust to the light in this place. His hand was lowered slowly, the first thing he saw was a huge lake with such clear water.

!!

Ling Qing Zhu could see the reflection of the sky on the surface of the lake. The surrounding dew is cool and makes it seem to be above the clouds. He stared down when he realized his feet were not touching the ground.

"It's..."

Ling Qing Zhu pressed down a bit on his leg, what he stepped on turned out to be foliage. It was like he was on top of a large tree with small dense foliage. But how could there be a lake on top of a tree?

"What is this place...?"

Surrounding Ling Qing Zhu was only cold dew with a green expanse. He felt the wind blowing through his body. He gasped when he heard a strange sound.

That's the sound of horses.

!!

Ling Qing Zhu was surprised to feel something darting beside him. It was like flapping wings and it turned out to be true.

There were six horses, two of them were black while the other four were white. They are adult horses with a pair of expanding wings. This was the first time he had seen a winged horse.

"Are you surprised?" Xiao Shuxiang seemed to be smiling, he got a nod from Ling Qing Zhu.

"What place are you taking me to?"

"Mh.. I can tell you, this is one of my old houses. Come,"

Ling Qing Zhu's hand grabbed Xiao Shuxiang and then held tightly. He followed the young man to the shore of the lake. Xiao Shuxiang crouched down and asked him to take off his shoes.

?!

Ling Qing Zhu frowned, he might have misheard but Xiao Shuxiang repeated his remark.

"Let's take off your shoes,"

"For what?" Ling Qing Zhu crouched down, she saw her Guardian Guardians open their shoes.

"Different from the world you and I visited before, this place is very sacred. The man who came here had to clean himself first. And actually, you're the first person I brought here."

Xiao Shuxiang used his right hand to fetch water. He washed his face, hair, ears, and neck before wetting his feet. Slowly, her hair began to turn white.

!!

"Elf.." Ling Qing Zhu muttered.

"Mn?" Xiao Shuxiang turned his head, he looked enthusiastic. "So you know?"

"I.. I read it in a book.."

Ling Qing Zhu just noticed well. Xiao Shuxiang's eye color was now different from each other. The golden yellow in his right eye and the red in the other eye, it was amazing.

"Shuxiang's.."

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he noticed Ling Qing Zhu. The hand of this white haired girl seemed clenched. "Would you hold my ear?"

As if understanding his White Cat's wishes, Xiao Shuxiang asked the question. And sure enough, Ling Qing Zhu nodded slowly.

"alright.. Please," Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he let the girl beside him touch and tug at his ears.

Ling Qing Zhu looked solemn, he was like he had just discovered something that made him very curious. He rubbed slowly, pinched, and pulled the left ear of his Guardian.

His curiosity was also in Xiao Shuxiang's white hair. He stroked and tugged at her. Until the moment he wanted to touch the eyes of his Guardian-His hand was held.

"Do you want to pop my eyes?"

"I just want to touch."

Xiao Shuxiang let out a slow breath. He let Ling Qing Zhu pat, pinch, and tug at his face. He only reminded her that her White Cat did not show her eyes.

When they were this close, the wind that hit like it was not felt. Xiao Shuxiang could see the clear blue eyes of his White Cat, he was like a new well-paying attention-Ling Qing Zhu turned out to have a beautiful eye color.

"This girl.. What was I really like in his mind?"

As far as Xiao Shuxiang was concerned. Girls can always be more expressive, even the cold ones will look flushed when faced with a young man like him.

However, this girl before him was another. Ling Qing Zhu's eyes were calm, his countenance was flat and did not appear to be blushing at all. Even his White Cat unhesitatingly looked at him.

"When did you mess up my face..?" xiao Shuxiang's voice was slow, yet it was enough to resuscitate Ling Qing Zhu.

The white-haired girl clamped her Guardian Protector's nose with two fingers and pulled it hard. Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously whimpered and patted hard on his White Cat's arm to make the girl look forward.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he tried to hold Ling Qing Zhu back but the positioning was wrong so the two of them had to splash into the lake.

!!

The sound of splashing water sounded clear, a tub of excitement that knew no fear. The clothes and all over Xiao Shuxiang's body were drenched, he coughed as he felt like he was swallowing water.

Ling Qing Zhu was the same. Although his countenance was still flat, in his heart he was really very embarrassed now. He stared intently at his Guardian Guard as he prepared to make a complaint.

"All your fault."

"You pulled my nose first. Lookie! It's still even flushed," Xiao Shuxiang didn't want to take the blame for it.

"But you hit me,"

"White cat, it's because you started first."

"I wouldn't have fallen if you hadn't hit,"

"But I fell too. Let's just say we're even, okay?"

"Hmph, shameful."

Ling Qing Zhu splashed water at Xiao Shuxiang, blocking the young man's gaze for a moment as he exited the lake.

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face, His White Cat was already standing firmly by the poolside with her clothes and hair already dry. Ling Qing Zhu seemed to be using a lot of Qi to dry his entire body in an instant.

Xiao Shuxiang drowned half of his face into the water, he was a little disappointed that he could not see a miracle. Ling Qing Zhu himself exhaled and managed to regain his composure.

"Let me help you," Ling Qing Zhu extended her hand, she helped Xiao Shuxiang to get out of the lake. Somehow his Guardian Guardian looked cute with a pouting facial expression.

Xiao Shuxiang put on Qi to make his whole body dry. He scratched his non-itchy cheeks while muttering something, faintly himself hearing a rumbling sound.

Ling Qing Zhu also heard it, something pressing and dangerous approached. He also drew his sword.

!!

The rumbling sound grew louder, Ling Qing Zhu was surprised to see the figure of a large white animal that he believed was a dragon. He was about to attack, but was immediately stopped by his Guardian Guard.

"You don't be afraid, he's harmless. Eins is my friend, so recombine your sword.." Xiao Shuxiang said softly, his voice so soothing.

The white dragon he saw let out a snoring sound, he was like wriggling in the air before his body changed shape into a white owl. Eins alighted on Xiao Shuxiang's right arm as the young man extended his hand.

The voice of Eins who previously sounded like a roar, now even like the sound of a chicken. He gently rubbed the owl's head with gentleness.

Kruyuu~

"I'm sorry I just came to visit you,"

Ling Qing Zhu saw how his Guardian Guard was so considerate of this white owl. Xiao Shuxiang then introduced Eins and this place to him.

It was such a dream, Ling Qing Zhu did not expect to actually be in a world that was so much different from where he lived. This world was more like the realm of the gods or something like that.

Watching the winged horses and Eins who were white dragons alone had already made Ling Qing Zhu surprised, especially when he was invited to tour to see the beauty in this world.

Eins who turned into a dragon gave a lift to Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu. He reminded the Alchemist Chef to Lan Xiao, the Moon Tiger.

The world of the Elves looked like a land above the clouds and only one mountain was so high and big in this place. Eins then flew low enough that Ling Qing Zhu could see how fertile the land in this world was.

Xiao Shuxiang told the story of the Elf World to his White Cat and was watched closely by the girl. He said that this place was much more peaceful than both the Demon World as well as the Human World.

!!

"Shuxiang, they have wings."

Ling Qing Zhu looked at some creatures that were human-like in stature, yet light green-haired. The creatures had a pair of wings that seemed to be located behind his waist.

Ling Qing Zhu had once read about another world inhabited by winged and pointed-eared creatures. The writing in the book is a mere essay, and has not been proven to be true.

Now, however, Ling Qing Zhu felt as if he was in a book he had read. The lake he had previously seen, was a lake of the Cloud Protection Tree. Xiao Shuxiang told him.

The tree is similar to the one in the book, with only different names. He also without hesitation asked his Guardian Guardians many things about this Elf World.

"... The world is divided into three regions and there are three types of Elves. Those you see are a kind of Plant Elf, the other two are Light and Moon Elves. I'll take you to see the other two."

"Can we come down and say hello to them?"

"Now, not now. Plant Elves are usually fierce when disturbed while at work. We go to my old place, hold on tight."

Ling Qing Zhu firmly held the back of his Guardian Guard hand which was holding on to the mane of the Eins, this was the first time in his life he had ridden a dragon.

"I wish Young Master Lan was here,"

"Mn? Lan Zhi?" Xiao Shuxiang did not expect the girl sitting in front of him to think of his good friend, "Why do you want him here?"

"Young Master Lan is your best friend. You don't want to bring her here?"

"Lan Zhi is my friend. But I want you to be the first to know this place. After all if he comes, my charm could be diminished. Lan Zhi will take all the attention away from me, she's a bitch."

"Young Master Lan isn't like that,"

"That's true. The proof is that you're thinking about him now, and I'm the one with you right now,"

!

Ling Qing Zhu flinched, he blinked when he heard the remark of this young man sitting behind him. He seemed like he could not say anything, unable to argue with his Guardian Passion.

Ling Qing Zhu heard Xiao Shuxiang laugh, for some reason his ears were heating up, not accepting being played with. He exhaled and was intent on replying to this person.

"Are you jealous now that I'm thinking of Young Master Lan?"

"of course. I'd be jealous if my future wife thought of another young man,"

!!

His Guardian was extremely shameless. He thought that asking such a question made Xiao Shuxiang silent, but it turned out that he was the one who had difficulty speaking.

"He's too honest for men. Very charming,"

"Mn? Did you just praise me?"

"Where is it possible."

"really? Means only my feelings," Xiao Shuxiang said softly, he heard Eins snoring voice that seemed to invite him to speak.

The white-colored dragon carried Xiao Shuxiang with Ling Qing Zhu flying around the Celestial Emperor Mountain and several times piercing through the clouds.

Her jade-white skin seemed to sparkle in the sunlight, as well as the hair of Ling Qing Zhu and Xiao Shuxiang.
