XIAO SHUXIANG'S
486 - Herbal Mountain Guard [Revised]
"Actually your Tian Feng uncle also has herbs, but it is indeed as far as I know-to old-age herbs, where your uncle Xi Fan is the best."
Wu Yu spoke as he darted along with Xiao Shuxiang.
They occasionally rest on leaves and branches of trees.
"What actually happened? Why did Qing Zhu'Er get to that?" Wu Yu could no longer help but ask, he turned his head towards his nephew as if wanting an answer.
"All my fault. I'm making two continents mess up all at once,"
!!
"What?! You're making a mess again?! Didn't I think you'd repented?!" Wu Yu did not think his nephew could answer so without any guilt at all. He clucked and shook his head slowly.
"Xiang'Er, don't you already have a decent life? Why are you ruining your own life? You're this..."
"Uncle, I'm not directly the perpetrator of that mess. But I'm the reason why the mess happened. I have an enemy that is too strong."
Xiao Shuxiang's feet touched the leaf that was blown by the wind. He darted with an uncharacteristic look on his face. In fact, Wu Yu was able to notice this change in the mood of his adoptive nephew.
"Xiang'Er, if you're fighting a powerful enemy and can't handle it, let your Uncle help you."
"No Uncle, I can't let Uncle go to the Human World. If Uncle came and fought with him, many places would be damaged and even more chaotic. I don't want that until it happens..."
Xiao Shuxiang thanked his adoptive uncle for being so caring. Yet even if he was in such a bad state, he would never allow much less to bring Wu Yu to the Human World.
"... Carrying Uncle Wu was extremely risky, let alone the current Qian Kun was in the Human World. If he saw Uncle Wu and even fought him, then the creature could make it to this world. I don't want to. The Demon world must not be entered by the masked man."
Wu Yu exhaled. Even in times of precariousness, Xiao Shuxiang still did not let him go to the Human World to help.
"Xiang'Er, you seem to be protecting your home a lot.."
"......"
Xiao Shuxiang turned his head when he heard Wu Yu's words just now. He looked at his adoptive uncle with a faint smile, only that he did not say anything.
The two of them darted and it did not take long until Xiao Shuxiang and Wu Yu arrived at the White Emperor Mountain region, precisely at the residence of Yan Xi Fan.
"Stop..!"
!?
Wu Yu and Xiao Shuxiang gasped as two bodyguards who were tiger-shaped Demonic Beasts intercepted them.
"I'm sorry, but His Majesty is not around. He's hibernating,"
"I knew. We didn't come to see him," Wu Yu said he wanted to go to the Herbal Mountain and should not be stopped.
"... Love your lives and let us in. You see this young man, he's in a bad mood. Dare to offend you can die."
"Don't talk anymore, Uncle Wu. And you two, get out of my way now!" the color of Xiao Shuxiang's eyes turned red and a gripping aura nearly shot out of his body if his hands were not held immediately.
Wu Yu held firmly onto Xiao Shuxiang's hand and was still trying to speak kindly with these two bodyguards. He was different from his adoptive nephew who had almost lost his temper.
"We didn't come to cause trouble. You should see that he is your Majesty's beloved nephew, Yan Xi Fan himself has never placed any restrictions on him, so give way immediately."
"Your Majesty Wu..! Young Master Xiao..!"
?!
An old man who had a hairy face seemed to run over. He stopped right before Wu Yu and Xiao Shuxiang. Breathing violently.
"Let... Let them in."
The old man was the person in charge of this palace as long as Yan Xi Fan was not around. He was assigned to take good care of this place and not until there was one broken.
Banning Xiao Shuxiang when his heart condition worsened was tantamount to inviting danger. The young man would not think twice if he wanted to take their lives.
"You have a loyal bodyguard." Xiao Shuxiang stepped in followed by Wu Yu, his eye color slowly returning to normal. He was also followed by the old man who allowed him to enter.
"Young Master Xiao, what does Master want? Let me get ready soon."
"Uncle Ao, we want to go to the Herbal Mountain. My niece needs a medicinal plant that can cure her,"
?!
"Wife?! Young Master Xiao is married?!"
It was great news that Xiao Shuxiang was married. The old man called 'Uncle Ao' was even surprised so unreliable.
Uncle Ao was curious about what made Xiao Shuxiang decide to get married? Who was this young man married to? When and where did the marriage take place? Why don't they know this? How could they not be invited?!
Wu Yu himself said that Uncle Ao was very noisy and wanted to know too much. He himself who was the adoptive uncle of a Xiao Shuxiang was not invited to the wedding, let alone a creature like this old man.
"......."
Xiao Shuxiang himself did not speak let alone enter into the conversation of the two beings beside him. For him now just one, he needed herbs to concoct a pill that could cure his White Cat.
Uncle Ao escorted his two guests to a special room. Inside was a circle seal which would lead them to the foot of the Herbal Mountain.
While in the middle of the circle seal, Xiao Shuxiang and Wu Yu felt the floor they were on began to move down. Uncle Ao was with them too.
"Your Majesty actually doesn't like it if anyone dares to set foot on the Herbal Mountain. But Your Majesty probably won't mind if it's you."
Wu Yu, "Uncle Ao, of course Yan Xi Fan will not refuse. Xiang'Er was his favorite nephew, he would definitely give anything Xiang'Er wanted. Herbs were just a trivial matter to him,"
Wu Yu exhaled and patted Xiao Shuxiang on the shoulder. Ever since he was noticed, his nephew's face continued to bend. He rubbed the back of his nephew.
"You don't have to worry. You also worry us..." Wu Yu looked bad, he was worried about the condition of his nephew's heart.
To him, Xiao Shuxiang was a young man who could not hide his feelings. The problems that were being faced and the concerns of this young man were clearly visible on that charming face.
Noticed more clearly, Wu Yu only realized that there was a splash of blood on Xiao Shuxiang's face as well as his nephew's hands that were soaked in blood.
!!
The scar on Wu Yu's hand looked black, he watched her closely and slightly kissed her. His forehead shriveled when he did not smell the scent of blood. This was the strange blood he had encountered.
Actually, if Xiao Shuxiang was in his usual condition, he was also as curious as Wu Yu. The blood of the opponent he had wiped out had a dense color, yet it did not smell rancid. It may take a long time to realize that it is blood.
Honey, in this condition Xiao Shuxiang was at a stage where he would care nothing but the safety of his White Cat.
He wouldn't be able to boast of his name anymore if to protect the one person important to him alone he couldn't.
"......"
Both of Xiao Shuxiang's hands were clenched firmly. The look in his eyes sharpened as he imagined something bad happening to his White Cat. It was not the family member of the Skull Sword Party disciple he was looking for, nor was it Gong Zitao, let alone Qian Kun.
He was actually going to hunt down the entire Ling family members and the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect. To finish them off without leaving anyone.
!
Xiao Shuxiang regained his senses as he began to smell the dense aroma of herbs. He, Wu Yu, and Uncle Ao had arrived at the foot of the Herbal Mountain which was in the basement of the palace that belonged to Yan Xi Fan.
!!
Wu Yu had been here, including Xiao Shuxiang as well. This place is amazing and is like being in another realm. The atmosphere in this place was much different from the outside.
Uncle Ao rubbed the sweat on his forehead, since earlier he beside Xiao Shuxiang-it felt very stifling and made nervous.
"We... We should meet this mountain guard first and ask his permission to take the herbs," Uncle Ao's voice trembled slightly, he desperately tried to gulp as his heart pounded faster.
Xiao Shuxiang did not bring out a Killer Aura, let alone one of a kind with it. But the cold look on his face was like a mountain ready to explode.
"I don't have much time." Xiao Shuxiang for the first time began to speak. He even instantly shot out without warning and made Wu Yu as well as Uncle Ao surprised.
!!
"Xiang'Eer..!!"
"Jeez, Your Highness Wu... How's This?!"
Uncle Ao's panic was natural because he knew exactly what kind of herbal mountain guards were. The figure of the guard was a black snake monster that even his breathing alone was already extremely deadly.
"Uncle Ao, you stay here. Let me catch up with him." Wu Yu was similarly anxious, "Xiang'Er..!!" he had indeed been here, but had only ever seen the tail of the monster guarding this mountain.
The tip of his tail alone was very pressing when he first saw it, especially if he had to face directly.
Although Wu Yu prided himself on being the owner of the Black Emperor Mountain Region, he was honestly hesitant about facing the monster.
"Xiang 'Er..! Niece..?!" He was trying to chase after Xiao Shuxiang, the young man seemed to pick up some herbs and go again somewhere else.
Wu Yu was finally able to catch up with his nephew and try to make him stop.
"Xiang'Er, you listen to this Uncle of yours. We have to ask the mountain guards' permission first, you'll be in big trouble if you get caught by him."
"......"
Xiao Shuxiang did not speak, his eyes focused on paying attention to every herb and he also focused his smell. It was only around the foot of the mountain and he had already found the two herbs needed.
!!
Wu Yu flinched as his nephew shot back, he caught up with him immediately and just wanted to remind again-a hissing sound rang out.
!!
When viewed more broadly, this place looks like it is in the world of the Universal Bracelet belonging to Xiao Shuxiang, but with a high mountain in the middle.
The mountain peak was covered by a thick white cloud that had a silvery sparkle. The difference with the world inside the Bracelet of the Universe - these places actually stretched the blue sky and also the sun was visible.
The air here is soothing with only a few trees.
It's just, compared to anything... The trees were of a tall size that matched the trees in the Elf World.
It doesn't really matter the size of the tree, but what is behind it. Wu Yu even held his breath when he saw that there was an unnatural movement from behind one of the giant trees before him.
!!
A hissing sound resounded, this time bigger than before. Wu Yu's pupils moved along with his head looking up.
The height of the trees here is likely to be around 80 to 90 meters. And the average size of the trunk circumference is 50 meters. Since Wu Yu's sharp eyes or perhaps the animal behind the tree had a very large head, he could even clearly see it.
!!
The color of the snake was black, very black. He had scales like a crocodile and flashes of lightning seemed to come out on his body as he moved. His eyes were still closed, but Wu Yu already felt his throat ache.
"How is... How could he have a pet this scary?" Wu Yu firmly held his staff, he could feel an extremely strong pressing coming from the head of the snake slowly moving down it.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang vomited blood and made Wu Yu surprised, moreover his nephew immediately fell down with support on his knees and hands.
Xiao Shuxiang's right hand was on the ground, while his left hand pressed against his chest. He felt a strong pressure and his face paled, only he still did not speak. The atmosphere was very stressful and honestly very scary.
Wu Yu himself was at a position not too far away from his nephew. It was just that the moving head of the snake did not come at him, but instead approached Xiao Shuxiang.
!!
The scene could no longer be described with words. Ordinary humans would definitely instantly die from his fear and any cultivator might already have difficulty breathing because of it.
Even for Wu Yu himself, he had actually gathered a lot of energy just to be able to step foot in to save his nephew, yet what happened next made Wu Yu almost a hanger.
The head of the snake was very large, a city might be able to fit on it and by now the lips of that head had been a meter away from where his nephew was.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang immediately turned his head as the snake's eyes opened. The pressing and extremely dark aura instantly burst forth to make Wu Yu bounce far away.
