Ling Qing Zhu was unable to hear anything, the blue bead was even slowly covered along with a flash of memory that appeared before him.
He used to be just a little boy who had no close friends. Every day he does is a role model for all his fellow students.
There should be no mistakes, he should do everything perfectly. Her mother and grandmother always said that she should be able to be on equal footing with her genius brother, Ling Lang Tian.
His father, the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect might never give him any emphasis. However, his father always put himself in the position of a leader, not really seen as 'Dad'.
Honestly, his life was perfect, well-ordered and never out of the ordinary. The only member of his family who was mischievous and often made trouble was likely only Ling Ya Bing, yet the child could still be set up well.
He felt his life could never change. But an incident makes his quiet and perfect days disappear instantly.
The change came, giving him such a powerful blow that he could not forget. For the first time, he felt very lost.
A person enters into his life and changes every perfect day to be difficult to guess. The calm he had been keeping, was suddenly confused by a pebble called Xiao Shuxiang.
At first, he did not like the young man, he hated him. The person who scares her and always has nightmares. The figure that had killed someone was most important to him in this life. A figure that looks like death to him.
But when many days he spent and had many traits of that figure that he witnessed. He felt that the figure was not as scary as his thoughts all along. Precisely because of his meeting with that person, he was able to have some interlocutors.
Shuxiang... He's my best friend.
It was like hearing the soft voice of a young man. Ling Qing Zhu was overshadowed by Lan Guan Zhi's remark when the young man first came to the Central Continent.
He sat down with the younger brother of the Patriarch Lan. Every night and always. Ling Qing Zhu spent more time with Lan Guan Zhi compared to Jing Mi and Xiao Lu.
Miss Ling should be able to take good care of her. Don't leave him, please,
Lan Guan Zhi's words back then were very sincere and truly like someone who gave half his soul to be cared for and well taken care of by Ling Qing Zhu.
Young Master Lan, is he very important to you?
Mn, he's valuable to me.
You're... Were you born and raised together?
Mn, no. He's younger than me. We didn't get along very well when we first met. But i'm... Always wanted to protect her.
Lan Guan Zhi's face back then was touched by the soft light of the moon. She had a clear, soothing look on her eyes, including being able to entice anyone to sink into her beauty.
His grasp still felt warm as he touched Ling Qing Zhu's hand and uttered a word that was likely only once thrown on the lips of a Lan Guan Zhi.
He is more valuable than anything in the world. Happiness I couldn't give her... I hope Miss Ling can give it to you.
Young Master Lan, you seem to be handing over your love to me.
Just think of it that way.
!!
Young Master Lan..?
Mn, I'm kidding. He is like a brother to me. He is a special brother and friend. Miss Ling should be able to take good care of her.
The memory is moving and getting stronger. Ling Qing Zhu remembered he had a promise to Lan Guan Zhi to always look after the young man's good friend. Right now, he felt like he had to get up and help Xiao Shuxiang.
His Guardian might not be able to control himself. The young man needed someone who could awaken him from the brutal deeds he had committed. If no one stopped him, not only would this location be destroyed, but it was worse than that.
BLAAAAR..!!
Lightning snatched the sky back. Xiao Shuxiang did not care about anything other than tearing apart every creature he saw. Not only trees, even ants do not escape death from it.
The Skull Sword Party actually had quite a number of extremely young disciples, around 15 years of age and below. But what appeared now were only those whose age was far above that, out of nowhere the junior disciples were all.
!!
Uhh!
This was Xiao Shuxiang's last victim. A man trying to untie a strong grip from his neck.
Xiao Shuxiang's black nails were set beautifully on the neck of the young man whose stomach he was sitting on. He even unhesitatingly pierced the man's stomach and took out a lump of meat. The organ that is the human heart.
"......"
After killing so many, Xiao Shuxiang wanted more. His last prey had not yet died and it made him even happier. He then did something impossible for any Black Flow cultivator to do.
"You are the longest. Is your brain as good as that copycat woman?"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang offended Rou Mei Qi. The red-clothed woman who had talent imitated every sword technique. His words just now sounded cold, heavy, yet also extremely frightening.
!!
The swordsman of the Skull Sword Party was wide-eyed as he watched what this young man above his body was doing on the lump of flesh in the hand that had torn the person apart a lot.
!!
It was too dark and his own eyesight was also not fine. But he was sure that the lump of meat was eaten! Right in front of him.
The warrior's body was already in a lot of pain and was back in pain when his two eyes suddenly exploded. What happened next was the same as that experienced by both colleagues before himself.
The swordsman's organs are removed one by one. Each bone was broken and then pulled out. The last three victims were indeed the ones who received the most torture.
"......."
When there was nothing left, Xiao Shuxiang intended to go to kill more people. He is still not satisfied doing it. He wants more than this.
Just wanting to dart, a soft voice called out his name and made him stop moving instantly.
"Shu's... Xiang..."
?!
"Mn, it's still there."
A smoke that looked like a stretch of rope shot up and caught someone lying down. Took him right in front of Xiao Shuxiang.
The blood-soaked left hand gripped the snow-white neck. The glint on the long, unraveling white hair that seemed to be waving in the wind had absolutely no effect on the black-haired youth.
"How should I kill you?"
A cold voice sounded. The lightning in his red and slightly green eyes made him look scary. Perhaps Xiao Shuxiang was unaware of whose neck he was clutching at the moment.
"Shu's... Xiang..."
A voice so soft, barely audible. Xiao Shuxiang was just about to break the neck of the girl he was gripping when he heard back the shrill voice.
"Shu's... Xiang..."
!!
The girl spewed blood. A few drops struck Xiao Shuxiang's right cheek and made the young man flinch. The next second, the terrifying puff of smoke that was on the Alchemist Chef's body slowly faded away.
"White Cat..."
Xiao Shuxiang gently grasped the body of the white-haired girl who turned out to be Ling Qing Zhu. He almost killed his own wife and it was terrible to imagine.
"White Cat...? White Cat, you hear me?! Speak on...! You need to talk to me..!"
"Shuxiang-chan..."
Ling Qing Zhu had yet to open her eyes, but she could hear the voice of her Guardian Guardian right now. He could also feel the warmth of the young man's body carrying him.
"Stay talking to me. Don't stop saying my name. Open your eyes, White Cat..! Open your eyes..!"
"Shuxiangsu... It hurts."
"I'll cure you. You don't stop talking, you still hear me, right? Do you know who Ling Lang Tian is?"
Xiao Shuxiang tried to get his White Cat to talk. While his head was currently thinking of a way to treat the wound on the girl he was carrying.
"Don't stop saying my name, White Cat..! If you stop doing it I'll... I'll kill your whole family!"
Xiao Shuxiang threatened, he looked at the face of the girl in his carriage who really looked pale. "Did you still hear me? It's not Gong Zitao I'm going to kill, it's your family. Ling Ya Bing I will kill first."
"Shuxiangsu... Don't." Don't."
"I'm not kidding. The little girl I will skin alive in front of the entire 'Ling' family'. I will do the same to your mother and father. Your family members I'll kill one by one and your brothers and sisters too. The Heaven Pagoda Sect will be exterminated and I will not let anyone bury their bodies. I swear."
"Shuxiang-chan..."
Ling Qing Zhu's eyes slowly opened even though he couldn't see anything. He vomited blood before water droplets came out of his eyes.
He heard everything. Xiao Shuxiang's threat was too real to be called a joke. The young man said it very seriously and honestly, this was the first time he had heard his Guardian even to the point of swearing.
"You know I never lie, White Cat. I'm really going to kill your whole family. They'll pay for everything until you don't have the determination to live. I killed your uncle once, so I won't hesitate to kill your father including your mother."
!!
Only that young man could make a Ling Qing Zhu cry. The white-haired girl even firmly gripped onto Xiao Shuxiang's clothes and requested that this young man not do anything to harm his family.
"Don't do it..."
"Then keep talking. Tell me what I can and cannot do with your family,"
"You... Don't kill them..." Ling Qing Zhu desperately spoke even though his entire body was in pain.
On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang took out the Moving Mirror and immediately took his White Cat away. He continued to urge Ling Qing Zhu to keep talking without the slightest pause, even though this girl was in pain.

Xiao Shuxiang brought Ling Qing Zhu to the Demon World. The only place he believed he could cure his wife was the world where his uncle and adoptive aunt were.
He arrived right in the backyard of Lui Me Tian's residence. Just then, it just so happened that her aunt was seen sitting down and playing chess with her adoptive uncle, Wu Yu.
"This is the fifth time, brother. Can we stop him? My banana meal is over,"
"Hey, you almost lost. Don't look for excuses to run away from me," Lui Me Tian began to move one of her pawns made of human bones as an exclamation jolted her.
"Auntie..!!"
!?
Lui Me Tian and Wu Yu spontaneously turned their heads, both of them shocked when they suddenly saw their adoptive niece who was carrying someone.
"Xiao'Er..?!"
"Xiang'Er..?!"
Lui Me Tian and Wu Yu rushed over. They left the game and immediately approached Xiao Shuxiang. The young man looked worried.
!!
"Xiao 'Er..! What happened to her?!" Lui Me Tian had just seen well the girl held by Xiao Shuxiang who was in a bad condition. He told the young man to bring him in.
"Auntie, I don't have much time..! I need herbs. I need it as soon as possible..!" Xiao Shuxiang spoke quickly and then shook his White Cat and exclaimed for the girl to keep talking.
Although Lui Me Tian and Wu Yu were puzzled by what had happened, they both felt that this was not the right time to ask Xiao Shuxiang. Ling Qing Zhu was dying and needed immediate help.
The problem was, Lui Me Tian did not have any herbs and Wu Yu did as well. They conveyed the matter and made Xiao Shuxiang surprised.
"Let me try to check it out first, maybe I can treat it."
Xiao Shuxiang nodded at Wu Yu's words. Together with his uncle and adoptive aunt, he led Ling Qing Zhu into Lui Me Tian's residence and laid his White Cat on a bed.
Wu Yu pulled out the dagger that was in the girl's stomach and then covered the wound with Qi. His face slowly turned pale and like it was heavy to talk.
"How, Uncle?!"
"Xiang'Er, don't be angry. But he ran out of blood and there was poison in his body."
"Can Uncle get the poison out?"
"I... Could've killed your wife if you did,"
!!
Wu Yu could only cover Ling Qing Zhu's wounds with Qi, but was unsure of being able to remove the poison in the girl's body. His Qi could not be used more than this in humans.
"Auntie, how about you?! Can you cure him?!"
"Xiao'Er, my Qi contains poison. Moreover, Qing Zhu'Er's condition is running out of blood, I can't do it." Lui Me Tian is unwilling to try, her adoptive nephew can wreak havoc in this place if it comes because of her-Ling Qing Zhu's loss of life.
"Then what should I do?! Don't you guys have any pills or anything?!"
Lui Me Tian just remembered, "Your uncle's herbal mountain! Only your Uncle Xi Fan has many herbs. But getting into it is very.."
Wu Yu, "No problem. Let me and Xiang'Er go there, you stay here."
"But what about the White Cat?!"
"You don't worry. Your aunt's gonna take care of her, she's gonna be okay." Wu Yu held onto Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder and took her away.
"Uncle, but I'm worried about my White Cat."
"Niece, your anxiety is natural. But if we don't hurry, something bad might happen."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he was unwilling to imagine it. He then turned to Lui Me Tian and asked the red-clothed woman to always ask Ling Qing Zhu to speak.
He rushed with Wu Yu to White Emperor Mountain, the area where Yan Xi Fan was staying. In this world Xiao Shuxiang could move unhindered, different from when he was in the Human World, the Middle Continent.
Lui Me Tian himself rubbed Ling Qing Zhu's hand and asked his servant to drain Qi on the girl's body. They must keep the poison from spreading to the vital organs.
"Qing Zhu'Er..? Qing Zhu'Er did you hear Auntie..? Can you see me?" Lui Me Tian waved in front of Ling Qing Zhu's face, he saw the girl's eyes move.
"Shuxiang-chan..."
"Xiao'Er is coming. You gotta stay awake, don't sleep. Tell Auntie what happened to you, you can tell me, right?"
!!
Ling Qing Zhu spewed blood, he called out Xiao Shuxiang's name and cried. The young man's threat came to his memory and frightened him.
He actually could not hold on anymore. He wanted to sleep so that the pain would no longer be felt. However if he did that, his Guardian would slaughter his entire family and fellow students.
"Auntie... It hurts."
"Oh my goodness..." Lui Me Tian was really anxious, "... Hold it for a second. Xiao'Er is coming. He'll be here soon. You need to stay awake. You don't sleep."
Not only would Ling Qing Zhu's family be slaughtered if the white-haired girl did not survive, but the lives of Lui Me Tian and her citizens would be in danger.
The woman in red clothes and the owner of the Red Emperor Mountain region knew very well how her nephew was. Xiao Shuxiang was going to kill them all, the young man could not know anyone if he was on a rampage.
