"Did you find him, Hu Li?"

"No, Young Master. I'm sorry..." Hu Li shook his head softly, "Washi and his friends are samurai, it's hard to find them in one place. And again, the territory of the White Snow Empire was vast. I can't visit every place and look for them,"

New..!

Pii..!

"... Lan Xiao and O Zhan were also tired" Hu Li gently rubbed the head of the Moon Tiger and his sister in turn. He then saw his Young Master pouting.

"Sucks. You've only been looking for them for two days and two nights. Try harder. Aaa... I don't want to know..! Obviously you should look again..!"

Lan Xiao flinched as he saw the mother roll over on the bed. This was the first time that he was upset that Xiao Shuxiang did not seem to care that he, Hu Li, and O Zhan were already so exhausted.

Rrpr.. Rraows!

Lan Xiao growled, he then jumped on the bed and lunged at the young man he thought was the mother.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was shocked when Lan Xiao whose body was now the size of an adult tiger pounced and licked it to the point of amusing him.

Nyawn~

"alright... Alright. I was wrong, let's stop. Give this room to your mother.. Okay well? Ha ha ha, Lan Xiao..! Amusedly..! Please forgive me.. Ha ha ha..!"

Nyawn~

Seeing how his Young Master Xiao was so happy made Hu Li's burden lift. He is happy with this and hopes that his Young Master will always be happy.

"You're getting naughty, Lan Xiao~" Xiao Shuxiang rubbed the squash of the Moon Tiger's head as the Demonic Beast began to let him wake up again.

Pii..!

"You're also very adorable~" Xiao Shuxiang lifted O Zhan's body and stroked the pet's gnarled cheek.

Hu Li walked over and sat down on the bedside of his Young Master. He saw Lan Xiao change his size to be like a kitten and invited O Zhan to play.

"......."

"......."

For a moment Hu Li and Xiao Shuxiang did not speak to each other. Both of them like the focus of paying attention to the two adorable animals while smiling happily.

"This is the first time I can sit alone with Young Master without Young Master Jing's interruption and the others.." Hu Li finally opened his voice, his words made Xiao Shuxiang agree.

"You're right. You used to be all I had and I always talked to, but now it's different."

"Yes... Now Young Master is also not lonely anymore. Honestly, I still can't believe you're married."

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Hu Li, for some reason he was now uneasy at the last word the young man beside him said. It reminded her of a long wedding procession and left her legs and buttocks numb.

"You know, Hu Li. I really want to run right now. Really, it seems that now I understand why many cultivators have chosen to sing for decades and even some for more than a hundred years..."

Xiao Shuxiang was talking about Zhou Yan and Yu Changhai. The two patriarchs of the Heavenly Sword Sect had good posture and a handsome face. But even though they have reached more than a century of age, the two do not yet have a partner.

Xiao Shuxiang, "The wedding procession is exhausting, Hu Li. I almost felt like I was dead,"

"You're too much Young Master. Hold it for a second. One more time procession in the Eastern Continent and you and Miss Ling will officially become husband and wife. You'll start sharing your bed, sharing your life, and sharing everything."

Hu Li did not take part in watching how his Young Master Xiao's wedding procession was going. But when viewed from the look of the face of the Master who was a little pale and had not slept much, it is clear that the wedding procession lasted very long.

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and then dropped his body on the bed. He shook his head while clucking softly.

"Haiy.. Marrying one girl alone is a very long process, especially if more. Haaah.. Hu Li's.. I don't want to do it anymore. Your Young Master's dream of being able to make a harem is completely gone."

Hu Li tried to hold back her laughter, "Young Master Xiao. I think the reason for the wedding procession made long and tiring is so that the groom is deterred and not interested in marrying again for the second time."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, before finally laughing bitterly. He seemed to have just discovered the hidden truth of the wedding ritual he was running. These.. Serious is unexpected.

Hu Li, "Young Master rest, I still have to meet Young Master Ling and return him as well as the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect back to the Middle Continent,"

"Wait for Hu Li," Xiao Shuxiang stopped the white-haired young man as Hu Li was about to get up from his seat. "You still haven't helped me find Washi. Tomorrow afternoon I have to go to the Eastern Continent, and I want to see him before that."

"Young Master, it's hard to find Mr. Washi and his friends in such a short time. They may hear of this marriage, but they may be mission bound to not be able to come. But why would Young Master want to meet him so badly?"

Washi is a native of the Northern Continent, a young man who appears to be 27 years old with his short blonde hair. The young man had once accidentally met Xiao Shuxiang when the Alchemist Chef and Hu Li had for the first time set foot in this place.

"Washi is our acquaintance, so I want to meet him. Also.. One of his friends who has a face similar to mine.. He had a relationship with the old man the author of the Book of Breathing Heaven and Earth. I have to see him,"

"Friends of Mr. Washi whose face is similar to yours..." Hu Li thought for a moment, he tried to recall the past and began to understand. "Ah, I remember. The youth who looks like you is Yuuichi. Young Master and he only distinguished eye color and height,"

"Right, he's the one. He was a disciple of the blind grandfather who had given me a breathing book. I told you about it a long time ago,"

Hu Li nodded, the memory regarding him and his Young Master Xiao of their lives over a hundred years ago is still very clear.

Hu Li, "The Two Bangka who once gave you a book with only two sheets. He's a con man, but..."

"But because of that book I learned about one of the Breathing Techniques and he was among the people who invested the destruction of the Eastern Continent in me,"

Hu Li stared intently at Xiao Shuxiang, Her Young Master's remark just now offended her. "Although Old Jackfruit gives you a breathing book, it doesn't mean he asks you to use it to make a mess. Young Master it is outrageous to bestow your mistakes on others, let alone on him."

"Hu Li, I am your Master. You should have defended your master even if he was wrong. That's your job as a follower, okay?"

!!

Hu Li was surprised, now it was his turn to know why Lan Guan Zhi had always called his Young Master 'shameful'. It was because Xiao Shuxiang was truly humiliating.

"I want to see Yuuichi.." Xiao Shuxiang gave a serious expression, he called Lan Xiao and O Zhan, then asked the two Demonic Beasts to play outside.

Hiswn?

Lan Xiao asked, but Xiao Shuxiang said he needed to talk only alone with Hu Li. Lan Xiao was reluctant to leave her mother, but she did.

"Why doesn't Young Master want the two of them to hear us talk? Is this a sensitive subject?" Hu Li asked as his sister and Lan Xiao had walked out of this room. Both animals are very good at opening and closing doors.

"Mn, Lan Xiao and O Zhan are too good. I don't want to poison their minds with what we're going to discuss."

Hu Li looked at his Young Master, he watched Xiao Shuxiang's face meticulously and found something. He also without hesitation expressed his opinion.

"Now Young Master Xiao has changed a lot. Compared to what you used to be, you now look more human."

"Young Master Xiao, I've been with you for a long time. That smile was the last time I saw it about over a hundred years ago. A smile filled with cunning tactics." Hu Li's gaze darkened, the next second he lunged at the young man beside him.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched as he suddenly had his body pierced. He looked at this sweet-faced young man on top of him and did not put up any resistance at all.

"Young Master Xiao, what are you going to do?!" Hu Li gripped onto Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder, he stared at the dazzling face beneath. "Now you are married to Miss Ling. You'll have a happy life with her, please don't ruin it all and don't go back on that road again."

"Hu Li, as long as my enemy is still under this sky.. I won't be able to live quietly. If they're not the ones who died, then you.. White Cat.. Brother Jing. and all of you I appreciate.. Who will die."

Xiao Shuxiang did not mention that he was going to die, because that was the purpose of his enemy. As someone who lived a long time in the Black Stream environment, torturing an enemy by showing the death of a loved one was more painful than anything else.

"Hu Li, do you know what I'm thinking? Every time .... In sight .... This Xiao Shuxiang had always imagined how his friends died. I always thought, how do I feel when you're dead? Am I going to be sad? Feeling relieved? Or just angry. Honestly, I still don't know what I'm going to feel."

Hu Li loosened the grip of his hand as he watched the young man he was overshadowing close his eyes while biting his lips.

He slowly exhaled and then slowly said. "This is not what you want to say. Me .... Much more know you than Young Master Lan. My master, Xiao Shuxiang.. Who had long lived in the Black Stream environment, it was impossible to turn out to be good just because of someone else's request."

Hu Li smiled bitterly, it felt extremely stifling. He even felt pain when he swallowed. His eyes were watery and his vision was a little blurry.

Hu Li, "I'm the stupid one .... Because even though you know what kind of person you are, I still hope you have a good life."

Xiao Shuxiang opened his eyes, he saw the white-haired young man on top of him shedding tears. Even some of the drops fell on his cheeks.

Hu Li, "I'm the fool. I've never changed myself, but I expect change from you.."

"Hu Li's.."

"Definitely heavy .... Living a life we don't want. It feels very painful .... When living a life that does not come from the choice of our hearts. You feel it much more than I do.."

Xiao Shuxiang started to move his legs, now it was his turn to take Hu Li down. His movements were nimble and unpredictable, but just as he-Hu-Li did not revolt either.

"Stupid, why are you being this cute? I like my life now. Although it is true, it seems that there is less. We are now so unable to recklessly kill people, spread a lot of fear and look for trouble with other sects. Your abilities are also definitely weakening, aren't they?"

A few strands of Xiao Shuxiang's hair tickled Hu Li's cheeks. He squinted his eyes as his Young Master rubbed gently the water in the lower left corner of his eyes.

Hu Li, "I can still win if I fight with Young Master Jing. Even if you want it, I can slash one arm off Young Master Ling right now,"

"Hu Li, we won't make trouble with our own people. Save your strength for the great things that await,"

"Young Master, do you think I would nod in agreement? Better tell me now, what's your plan?"

Yang Hu Li knew about his Master, this young man above him was never right in making a plan. If it wasn't a crazy plan, then it must be an even crazier plan.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he lowered his body and then whispered right in Hu Li's ear. His position was still overlapping the White Fox Demonic Beast, but none of the two thought that this position could lead to any misunderstanding.

Hu Li listened to Xiao Shuxiang without speaking, his hand even from when it was on his Young Master's back. He glared when he knew the plan that his master was going to make.

"We fought the Blood Scarlet, against Qian Kun and the Skull Sword Party. Are you sure you want to do this?" Hu Li made a soft voice, it could be said that he was half-whispering. He was now starting to feel how warm his Young Master's body was.

"Mn, you're all I'm telling you, so don't get in my way. This was a dangerous gamble," Xiao Shuxiang's voice was low, he said that Hu Li should not make a mistake.

"Young Master Xiao, then what about Miss Ling? Are you going to make him a victim?"

Hu Li felt his Young Master's body becoming increasingly heavy. The question just now made Xiao Shuxiang move and his chest seemed to be suppressed. Now he had realized that this overlapping position was extremely dangerous.

"Hu Li, you don't make me look bad by saying I'm going to make the White Cat a victim. It is precisely he that I will rely on as a determinant of my future."

!!

Hu Li was surprised not to play now. He understood the intent of the 'future' said by Xiao Shuxiang. He reminded her that her Young Master did not forget himself, especially if she forgot about the blood of 'The Star'.

Hu Li, "Miss Ling will die if she can't help it. I'm the only one who ever got a drop of your blood, until now can still remember the pain."

"If he can't, then he's that weak." Xiao Shuxiang snorted.

He was breathing right in Hu Li's ear and it made the Fox Demonic Beast start to feel uneasy.

"Young Master Xiao..." Hu Li actually wanted to go back to remind Xiao Shuxiang of their ambiguous position, but if he said it bluntly-it would be extremely embarrassed.

"You know what you have to do, don't you Hu Li?"

"Ehm... I-yes,"

Hu Li's voice rang out trembling, he was nervous and his face felt hot at this moment. He seemed to have just found his sane mind that had returned.

This kind of overlapping position was extremely embarrassing. Moreover, he must not move carelessly because he is worried about waking up dangerous 'something' down there. Inwardly he cursed his Young Master Xiao and hoped that this young man could quickly come to his senses, then wake up from above his body.

"Young Master Xiao..." Hu Li again spoke slowly. He would not be strong with his racing heart beat and was like running from Xiao Shuxiang's slow heartbeat.

The door of Xiao Shuxiang's room suddenly opened slowly. A short-haired beautiful girl in light purple clothes appeared to enter with a springy expression.

"Brother Xiao..! I want to take you to play-AAAAHH..!!"

!!

The shrill cry from the girl who was Yi Wen shocked Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li.

But the Alchemist Chef instead of moving away from Hu Li's body, instead shifted slightly to look back.

Hu Li himself simply stuck out his head and peeked at the screaming figure from behind Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder.

"Geez, God, What the hell is this..?!" Yi Wen could not hide her shocked expression. His mouth and eyes opened wide, he even involuntarily held his breath.

"Sa-Brother Xiao... You're practicing the first night scene with help... Hu Li?!" Yi Wen had just noticed well who was being bullied by his Brother Xiao and he was again surprised.

"Hu Li is a man..!! Why are you practicing with him?! Jesus, Jesus..! Hard to believe..!" Yi Wen grabbed her hair, she repeatedly rubbed her face, shouted and shook her head as if she did not accept what was in front of her at this moment.

"Brother Wen?! What's up?!" Jing Mi hurriedly entered. He had previously been not far from his Brother Xiao's room when he heard Yi Wen's cry.

Jing Mi ran over and was met by Yang Shiju and Hou Yong who happened to also hear the scream. The three of them then came here and immediately looked when they saw two people who were so close to being on the bed. Moreover, one of the two people acted as an oppressive figure.

!!

Jing Mi and Hou Yong glared, while Yang Shiju directly opened the fan in his hand and used it to cover his gaping mouth. He was really shocked to see this incredible scene.

"Sa-Brother Xiao.." jing Mi's voice was soft and her countenance was so pale.

"Hu Li's..." Hou Yong smothered his mouth with his hands. He was in deep shock when he found out who was under his Brother Xiao's body.

"Woe... A breakthrough and new news." Yang Shiju said it while looking straight ahead. He was Xiao Shuxiang's cousin who was fond of making rumors and gossiping.

The presence of Yang Shiju in this place was obviously not going to end either.

Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times, his facial expression like one who had done nothing wrong. He was plain-faced and it took him some time to begin to understand what he had just done.

"Oh my goodness..."
