XIAO SHUXIANG'S

449-Love III [Revised]

Yi Wen's face and eyes looked serious. He then walked towards Hai Feng and asked for the invitation of the girl who had passed before him.

Hai Feng was astonished, yet did not refuse his brother's request. Yi Wen looked at the name on the invitation and gasped. The girl carrying the cloth doll just now was a representative of the Skull Sword Party.

"Hi Feng, why did you let that girl in? Don't you know what party he represents?" Yi Wen was a little annoyed, his friends seemed to be not right in carrying out the task.

"Brother Wen, I know. The miss represented the Skull Sword Party. Then what's the problem?"

"Hi Feng, you don't understand or are really stupid, huh?" Yi Wen tried to hold the tone of voice so as not to rise and instead trigger the attention of others. "Don't you know how the Skull Sword Party's relationship with brother Xiao is? They have a grudge against our brother, you know what that means, right?"

Hai Feng nodded in understanding, "I know. But you don't have to worry. Young Master Ling who gave the invitation to the Skull Sword Party. Not only that party, but also the entire college that existed in the Three Empires, not least those from the Black Stream.."

Hai Feng continued his words by saying, "Brother Wen. All this is necessary so that no college is offended. Although the Sky Pagoda Sect was respected in the Middle Continent, they could not behave as they pleased. Anyone knew the warriors on this continent were extremely irritable, let alone those from the Black Stream."

Hai Feng, "Brother Wen, you don't worry. I'm sure no one would dare to make a mess in this place. We don't work alone either, and again.. Although brother Xiao had the abstinence to not kill anyone on his wedding day, he was still able to fight."

"You're right, but your words don't make me feel relieved at all..." Yi Wen was still standing while watching every invited guest that came.

Hi Feng, "Calm down. It's gonna be okay,"

"............."

Yi Wen knew full well that Miao Gang was the right hand of Qian Kun. His arrival to this place could bring havoc to the happy event of his fellow students. He obviously couldn't let that happen.

Yi Wen's. "Hi Feng, you continue your work."

"Mn? Where are you going?" Hai Feng was curious because Yi Wen had suddenly just stepped away. The girl ignored his question.

Hai Feng was astonished, "Our Wen Brother why is it..?"

Hou Yong nudged a little Hai Feng's arm, "No need to think about it. At most Yi Wen went to look for the Mad Beggar Boy. Lately, I've seen him approach that guy a lot,"

?!

"Not that Crazy Beggar Boy was a young man who.." Hai Feng's countenance deteriorated, he looked at Hou Yong and got a nod from his brother. He and his friends knew what kind of Mad Beggar Boy was, let alone Brother Jing they were victims of how disgusting the young man was.

"Oh my goodness..! Why would Brother Wen want to get close to that Crazy Homo? Don't tell me he's also so insane from Brother Xiao's breakup," Hai Feng started gossiping.

His face was indeed plain, handsome, kind-hearted looking with a calm manners. But if together with his other brothers let alone with Hou Yong, Hai Feng's hidden nature would come out.

Jing Mi frowned when she saw that the two brothers were not carrying out their duties and preferred to gossip. He exclaimed and reminded them not to neglect this duty.

The disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect themselves were trying to distract them from listening to the conversation between Hai Feng and Hou Yong.

'Not talking too much, not talking about others, and not joining in the conversation that disfigures others' are three of the many rules in this sect that they must always remember and apply.

Zhi Shu watched every invited guest, occasionally smiling and greeting them as kindly as possible. Although his face showed calmness, but not so with his current mind.

The invited guests he saw were mostly just ordinary disciples from sects and parties that existed in the Central Continent. Most of them seemed to force a smile as he greeted. This was not just a mere fear from the talk of the 'Lingchi' technique of his two brothers, but more than that.

"My brother.. Did you realize that too?" Jing Mi made a soft voice, she made Zhi Shu slightly flinch.

Zhi Shu's. "certain. Most of the invited guests were from the White and Neutral Stream. While that was the Black Stream, it was more than the Southern Sky Empire and the Northern Sky Empire. Though the Central Sky Empire's territory was the most vast, it meant.."

Jing Mi nodded, "Yes. The news that the Skull Sword Party was attacking the sects and parties of the Black Stream was indeed true. This was why they only sent ordinary disciples as representatives, as the security of their own sect was at stake."

Zhi Shu's face stiffened slightly, but it instantly calmed down. He said softly, "Brother Jing. Stay friendly. We have to keep looking like we're in a good state."

"Brother Hou..!"

?!

Hou Yong who was busy talking to Hai Feng gasped when he heard an exclamation calling his name.

When he turned his head, he saw that among the invited guests was a young man dressed in green with a lotus flower pattern. The young man carried a fan in his hand and walked along with the man who was dressed very festively.

"Nie Shang..!" Hou Yong smiled widely, he patted his good friend's arm when the young man had been nearby.

Hou Yong, "Why didn't you come earlier? Shit,"

Nie Shang's. "Brother Hou, I'm sorry. I have a lot of work to do first, but I am very happy that Brother Xiao is really married. Until now I still can't believe it..!"

Nie Shang fanned his face, he could not hide how happy he was at the moment. His presence made the atmosphere outside the gate of the Sky Pagoda Sect even more crowded.

The man who was with Nie Shang was none other than Siu Yixin. The man became the center of attention because of the color of his clothes, the jewelry attached to his body, as well as his facial makeup and one of his red eyelashes are very amazing.

Not to mention, Siu Yixin's tone-wearing manner of speech was something strange yet real to anyone who saw it. Siu Yixin herself did not feel burdened, instead she liked being the center of attention.

Siu Yixin's way of speaking was similar to a person singing rap. He revealed his happiness and intended to make a concert to enliven Xiao Shuxiang's wedding to Ling Qing Zhu.

Hearing him made Hou Yong, Hai Feng, and Jing Mi surprised. The three warn Siu Yixin not to mess with their brother's marriage. Nie Shang himself covered his face and rushed in, muttering that he would pretend not to know Siu Yixin.

Actually, Nie Shang wanted to invite Mo Huai to come along instead of that merry-looking man. However Siu Yixin was overzealous and Mo Huai himself was busy with his work at the inn. As a result, inevitably Siu Yixin was the one who came along.

It was known that the Sky Pagoda Sect had two gates. The distance between the outer gate where Jing Mi and her friends were with the inner gate was as far as 50 meters.

The guests will be greeted with amazing views. Although they appeared to be free, they were still being watched by the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect and the warriors from the Earth Stake Party.

The inner gate region was the residence of the core disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect, the residence of the Grand Elder, and other members of the 'Ling' family.

This region had a special arena of core disciple training which had now been converted into a wedding altar. The place is decorated in such a way that it can invite admiration of anyone.

Every prepared sitting table has been very well arranged. Guests can enjoy music and dance performances under the soft moonlight studded with thousands of stars.

Right on one of the trees, there was a young man dressed in reddish black with a bamboo stick in his hand. He had several times displayed a strange facial expression as he looked at the two brides who were far away from him.

Only he did not sit down like the other invited guests. Compared to paying attention to the beautiful and graceful dance of the girls, she was more interested in seeing the bride sitting quietly with her face covered in red cloth.

The figure holding the bamboo stick was none other than the Mad Beggar Boy. His face looked pale, from this morning until now - he had always noticed how this wedding ritual went and to be honest it was exhausting.

The Crazy Beggar boy shook his head several times, he couldn't possibly be able to carry it all out. And he felt he had made the right decision by not getting married.

"I really salute Shuxiang, he did everything without protesting anything. He could even maintain his sitting position. If it was me.. My ass must have been sore,"

What the Mad Beggar Boy said was being felt by Xiao Shuxiang at this moment. The Alchemist Chef had already repeatedly cursed, he was eager to stand up and stretch all his muscles.

"Yes my.. How long do I have to hold all this..?" Xiao Shuxiang sat down, he could see the invited guests from behind this red cloth blocking his face.

Xiao Shuxiang had never paid too much attention to how the rituals in the marriage were. When Xiao Lu was married to Dai Chen, he preferred to serve as a security guard. This was certainly his first experience.

".. Sucks. Why do we sit like statues and watch them all enjoy the food. Even I'm not allowed to speak out loud, what kind of torture is this..?" xiao Shuxiang's slow voice though muffled with the sound of music, was still heard by the girl sitting beside him.

"White Cat.. When will this be finished..?"

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled. If he were told to choose between sitting like this without moving a bit by fighting all night, then he would unhesitatingly choose the second option.

There were three nights that Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu had to go through. On the first night, they wore red clothes with their heads covered in a thin, matching cloth.

Both of them can only talk to each other, even then they must be in a quiet voice. Only on the second and third nights can the groom show his face and talk to the guests.

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled for the umpteenth time. His attention began to fall on the dancers before he felt something inside his chest that seemed to shake.

It was almost that Xiao Shuxiang let go and stood up, lucky that he was still able to control his mood. His feelings had suddenly changed.

Xiao Shuxiang circulated his gaze. Although blocked by the red cloth, but he was like trying to find someone among the invited guests present.

!!

Suddenly he gasped, Xiao Shuxiang felt a change in his body that felt unnatural.

Quietly, he raised his sleeves slightly and looked at the blackish thin veins that formed on the back of his right hand.

Not only that, Xiao Shuxiang's fingernails turned black and elongated. He clenched his hands and hid them from behind his clothes. Xiao Shuxiang was now even aware that his eyes had turned bloodshot uncontrollably.

There was only one reason behind this sudden change. A person who became his greatest 'enemy' had appeared with a real face and was likely among the invited guests present.

"Geez..!" the look on Xiao Shuxiang's face turned pale. The fingernails he was trying to hide left his hands injured to bleed.

A sense of tightness began to accumulate in his chest, even to the point of making Xiao Shuxiang break out in a cold sweat. Right now, his mind was swaying. The symptoms he is experiencing now are one of the triggers of his old disease.

"Damn it..! How is this.." he tried to restore the color of his eyes, but still could not. Right now his breathing is starting to get irregular.

".. Be calm.. Quiet Xiao Shuxiang. Don't think of anything. Stay calm.." Xiao Shuxiang tried to exhale slowly, ".. You don't think about it"

!!

The red cloth blocking his sight made Xiao Shuxiang look at him as blood. His eyes flashed dangerously and his heart beat was getting harder to control.

He's hard to swallow. Right now he could hear no sound other than the beating of his own heart. His old illness really did recur.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was anxious for blood right now, he wanted to squeeze one's organs and make his anxiety disappear.

"Ware..! I started thinking about things that weren't. What am I supposed to do?! They're all visible.. Justjust wonderful. I want to kill them all,"

Behind his sleeves, Xiao Shuxiang moved both of his hands agitatedly. Seen fingernails still not back to normal until when moved excessively will make him hurt.

Ling Qing Zhu himself who was beside Xiao Shuxiang thought that his Guardian was simply uncomfortable from continuing to sit down. As for among the invited guests, only one person knew Xiao Shuxiang's unease.

That person was none other than the figure of a black-clothed man in a red-colored robe. His face was not visible as a result of being blocked by the backs of the dancers and he sat in the middle row, adjacent to the cultivators and warriors from the Black Stream.

The man may be conspicuous and be the center of attention if he does not sit among warriors whose clothes are in the same color as his own.

A line is drawn and forms a thin smile. The man raised the jade cup in front of him and started to drink his tea quietly.

Slowly, the smile turned into a grin. When observed carefully, the figure has a sweet canine tooth. Unfortunately, all the attention was not on him.

"Miss.. What's wrong with you?"

Faintly heard the words of a man from the line where the figure was. A swordsman from one of the Black Stream Party looked astonished as the woman sitting next to him sobbed.

Although the swordsman was from the Black Stream, but judging from his face-He was still very young and did not seem to have much fighting experience.

"I.. Sad.." the slow and slightly raucous voice of the woman hugging the cloth doll sounded. He tried to wipe his tears with his sleeves, but still water kept dripping down his cheeks.

!!

For a young child, seeing a woman who is crying will cause a feeling of worry.

If anyone saw her and misunderstood her, she would definitely be the victim of the accused as the mastermind behind this woman's cry.

"Miss.. Please don't cry. I'm not good at persuading, please don't get me in trouble.."

"I.. Endeavored. But my tears never stopped coming out.. It's very sad. I'm sad.."

!!

The young man tried not to panic. He tried to calm the woman beside him but a hand held his arm tightly.

A girl dressed in the same black as him seemed to shake her head. The signal indicates that he does not need to take care of the strange woman if he does not want to get into trouble.

In view of the invited guests present, there were indeed some cultivators and warriors who could be said to have their own uniqueness.

There was a male swordsman with an open upper body among the invited guests. He always held a mirror while staring at the awesome reflection of his face and body.

To a stranger, he was definitely a strange swordsman. But for those who already knew the man, this sight was common.

["Look at you..! You are so handsome..! Every day your good looks are increasing.!"] the man spoke to the reflection of his own face. He took out another mirror until both hands now held each one a mirror.

["Let's look at you..! You are so handsome..! Who is this muscular man with this handsome face..?! Aah-of course I.!"]

There were several young cultivators and warriors who choked on his food and drink upon hearing the man's words. Some even put on a strange face while shaking slowly.

In this place, it was likely that only Xiao Shuxiang did not understand the language of the inhabitants of the Central Continent. Therefore, despite the many voices, he could only understand the conversation with the language of his own benefactor.

The thing was, even the sound of the scarf being waved by the wind was not heard at this moment. He only heard the roar of breath, the beating of his own heart, and the turmoil of heart that kept urging him to move to carry out the massacre.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, his throat hurt as he swallowed. Tense veins even formed on his forehead and neck. Xiao Shuxiang tightly clenched both his hands and tried to maintain his sanity.

"I.. Can't hold back any longer. There was no other scent I could smell but blood. They're all gathered here.. It's amazing to kill them all.. It must be fun.."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes tightly, he should not have such thoughts.

It was true, there were members of the Blood Scarlet in this place and blending in with the invited guests. But they did nothing at all.

The members of the Blood Scarlet consisted of Gou Yun Fei and Rou Mei Qi who were representatives of the Demon Party. Then there was Miao Gang, the woman who carried the cloth doll everywhere and always shed tears.

Miao Gang was the right hand of Qian Kun. He represented the Skull Sword Party alongside a man who was none other than his own Master. Only Miao Gang had ever seen Qian Kun's real face, yet he did not dare to tell anyone.

It was not the Blood Scarlet that would create chaos, but it was most likely Xiao Shuxiang himself. The Destroying Star seemed to be desperately trying to maintain its sanity.

"When do you want to torture yourself, Shuxiang? Why not just kill them all?"
