XIAO SHUXIANG'S
487 - Something Unexpected VIII [Revised]
The snake's eyes were dark red. When it opened, a loud ear-splitting cry instantly rang out along with the ability of the eye to attract anyone who looked at it to feel the darkness full of terrible things.
!!
When Xiao Shuxiang turned his head, his eyes also changed color. It was the color of red and green eyes, one would see like an explosion of light within those eyes.
!!
The terrifying black snake had the ability to kill with just its breath alone. He could exterminate the entire herbal plant on this mountain with two breaths, and to kill ordinary intruders... Even his his hissing was more than enough.
In addition to his breathing, this snake also has a deadly eye gaze. He was currently opening his eyes wide and was looking directly at a young man who was none other than Xiao Shuxiang.
"......"
"......."
Wu Yu somehow bounced to nowhere, Xiao Shuxiang obviously did not care about that. With a cold look on his face, he stared at a snake that could probably wrap around this entire mountain until it was no longer visible.
'Go, if you don't want to die.'
The word that seems to be able to interpret the meaning of the two gazes that meet each other's eyes. Xiao Shuxiang actually dared to come into direct contact with a monster that could make him turn to ashes in an instant.
"......"
"......"
There was darkness in the eyes of the Alchemist Chef. It was as if he was ready to fight until the last point of his life in this place. He did not even show any doubt including fear.
"......."
The only thing that might scare him is if he can't save his White Cat.
"........"
The snake moved closer. Xiao Shuxiang himself did not shift from his place even not blink an eye at all.
He still gave a sharp look with a cold facial expression, until a touch was felt on his lips to make his facial expression that was originally very cold like an iceberg gradually change.
The enormous snake retreated its head and then lifted up, it floated. Even Xiao Shuxiang saw that there was a movement behind the trees that was none other than the body of the snake.
Beside everything, Xiao Shuxiang's eye color returned to its original state and he blinked. The thoughts and feelings that were previously filled with anxiety about his White Cat had suddenly disappeared. His facial expression looked even more normal.
"......"
Xiao Shuxiang blinked again, both ends of his ears blushing together as he touched his own lips.
"That's... Did I just get kissed... Snake monster?!"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was surprised not to play when he realized his condition. He even patted both of his cheeks while shaking his head repeatedly. He's freaking himself out so unreliable.
"Crazy..! Oh my..! Ouch..! How can..?! But..! That one.. Absolutely real..! Oh..!"
Xiao Shuxiang patted her forehead, grabbed her hair, cupped her cheeks slowly and recalled what she had just experienced.
Honestly, his whole life... He never imagined he would be kissed by a monster. Moreover, who was like a monstrous creature just now, he was shocked by it.
"Expiritual..! Ahhhh..! Oh..!" Xiao Shuxiang pulled back his hair, he goosebumps himself and did not expect to be stolen.
The huge monster no longer even appeared after taking a chance from him. What just now was a shocking and truly unimaginable experience.
Xiao Shuxiang was likely unaware of this, but due to the unexpected actions of the snake-monster he now returned to his usual self.
Perhaps the monster saw Xiao Shuxiang like a young man in need of help, or perhaps he thought that it should not be someone who had a handsome face with a cold expression and would destroy the entire world with just a look in his eyes.
For Xiao Shuxiang, he needed time to calm down the shock that had befallen him. But the taste soon changed when he saw the herbs he had taken earlier. He recalled his purpose in coming to this place.
On the other hand, Wu Yu seemed to be rubbing his buttocks as well as his neck. He clucked softly while shaking his head as it could bounce so far. Inwardly, he cursed Yan Xi Fan for nurturing a monstrous animal as big as a giant.
"This will hurt my pride as the Highness of the Black Emperor Mountain.." Wu Yu patted the dust on his clothes, he remembered something and immediately picked up his fallen Ruyi scepter then darted away.
He looked for the whereabouts of his nephew without lowering his guard because it could be that this mountain guard again appeared.
"Xiang 'Er.. I hope he's okay."
There was no sound of battle that Wu Yu heard, yet his heart was still agitated. He was worried about his adoptive nephew and did not know what he would have to explain later to Yan Xi Fan if it was until Xiao Shuxiang and the snake monster actually fought.
This was not about Xiao Shuxiang's life, he was certain that even though his nephew's body had become ashes and had been spirit-shaped - Xiao Shuxiang would definitely come back to life. Such was his belief in the figure known as the Destroying Star.
Wu Yu was only worried about this place. If until Yan Xi Fan's herbal plant became a victim, then perhaps for the first time she saw Yan Xi Fan going berserk. The White Dragon Demonic Beast could split a mountain with just one flick of its tail.
Wu Yu shook his head, he should not imagine anything that was not. But just about to think of another, he became reminded of the Death Eater Pearl that Xiao Shuxiang had once taken.
!!
"Girl..!!" Wu Yu sped up his lesion, he used his smell and sight to find his niece who was not doing well.
Xiao Shuxiang had the Pearl of Death Eaters. He could use the heirloom to fight the snake monster and Wu Yu knew very well that the pearl was extremely dangerous.
The legacy cannot be stopped. He will suck all the energy of life until only the one who activates it remains.
Wu Yu became even more worried when he remembered Xiao Shuxiang could have used the heirloom without hesitation. Moreover, in his bad heart condition, his nephew would not care about the lives of others.
Indeed when was Xiao Shuxiang worried about the lives of others? The Alchemist Chef even left the Eastern Continent in turmoil, he also left the Central Continent in even worse condition just to save one person.
If thought about, the life of a Ling Qing Zhu seemed more precious in Xiao Shuxiang's eyes than the entire lives of the inhabitants of the three empires. And as if the life of his White Cat was also more valuable than the lives of his own friends and family.
Those who do not know what Xiao Shuxiang looks like, might think so. But what actually happened was that he dared to leave the two continents that were in turmoil because he believed the existing cultivators and warriors could definitely handle it.
Wu Yu continued to search for the whereabouts of his nephew even though his kiss was slightly disturbed due to the scent of the many herbs. It was fortunate that he could still remember well the scent of blood from his adoptive nephew.
?!
Wu Yu's gaze began to catch the figure of the young man who was darting towards him. He also heard the young man calling out his name, yet somehow he still could not breathe a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Wu..!"
"Xiang 'Er..! You're all right, right? You're not hurt? What about the monster? Are you guys fighting?" Wu Yu asked a lot when Xiao Shuxiang was already before him.
He held both of his nephew's arms and checked Xiao Shuxiang's body condition in excitement. He stopped when he got a reprimand.
"Uncle stops..! I'm fine, okay? You rocked me and it made my head woozy, so please stop."
"Alright, alright. Seeing you talk so much makes me relieved, your face looks more alive now." Wu Yu tightly hugged Xiao Shuxiang, he finally no longer felt worried.
"I can't calm down, Uncle. My white cat is still in danger, let's get home soon."
Wu Yu nodded and immediately followed Xiao Shuxiang. They met Uncle Ao first to say goodbye.
Inside this room, Xiao Shuxiang took out a Moving Mirror and immediately entered it with Wu Yu. The two left Uncle Ao and arrived at Lui Me Tian's residence.
Back then, Xiao Shuxiang's adoptive aunt did her job well. He made Ling Qing Zhu keep talking even though the girl spewed blood several times.
On the other hand, there were about five Demonic Beasts keeping the blood flow within Ling Qing Zhu's body from stopping. They tried hard to separate the poison that was in the girl's blood.
There were also three maids that Lui Me Tian trusted to prevent the poison from spreading to Ling Qing Zhu's vital area. They all really work hard.
This room is full of tension. Lui Me Tian had previously said that the safety of their territory depended on the life of this white-haired girl.
Unmitigated, Lui Me Tian even ordered to take out ten of his best human voices that had the scent of blood like Ling Qing Zhu.
The two maids had the task of drawing blood from the pet that was there for Ling Qing Zhu. They did it carefully and perfectly, but did not dare to remove the poison in the body of the girl because they did not know this type of poison.
Never had they seen any poison that could turn human bones black and Ling Qing Zhu was clearly experiencing it.
The poison from Gong Zitao's dagger entered Ling Qing Zhu's bone and settled into his bone marrow. This condition almost took his life if one of Lui Me Tian's servants did not realize it early.
A Moving Mirror was formed, Xiao Shuxiang and Wu Yu stepped out. Their arrival attracted the attention of many people including Lui Me Tian.
"Xiao 'Er..!"
"Auntie, how's the condition..?!"
One of the servants shifted so that Xiao Shuxiang could sit on the edge of the bed and see for himself Ling Qing Zhu's condition. The young man gasped and his face paled.
"White Cat.."
No longer know how to say it. Ling Qing Zhu's white clothes were filled with blood. He was mobbed by a human-bodied Demonic Beast, yet with a monstrous appearance.
"Auntie... Take care of him in a minute." Xiao Shuxiang woke up and asked Wu Yu to come with him. They went to the deepest part of the Lui Me Tian residence.
The room that Xiao Shuxiang was aiming for was the kitchen, there were three maids and they gave him what he needed.
Wu Yu saw his nephew concocting herbs, he helped the servant to lift a pot in front of the young man.
Although it no longer possessed Little Blue Flame, yet Xiao Shuxiang was still able to concoct pills. He only needed ordinary fire and also the fire issued by his uncle Wu.
He gave Wu Yu directions on when the fire should be made large and when the heat was lowered slightly. The pot that had been filled by herbs and water began to make a ringing sound.
Very lucky actually because Wu Yu was a Demonic Beast who had a Fire as red as blood and Purple Flame. He was also an uncle who had the ability to quickly grasp Xiao Shuxiang's direction and practice it perfectly.
Just once, the water of the herbs in the pot had turned into three pills, one of which was black.
Wu Yu wiped his sweat as Xiao Shuxiang took the three pills inside the pot and directly stared intently at one of the maids.
!!
"Xiang 'Er..! What are you-"
Aakh..!!
Wu Yu's eyes widened when he had not had time to finish talking-his nephew immediately slashed one of the servant's arms to groan in pain.
This action of Xiao Shuxiang was too shocking, even the other two servants could not move so much in shock. I don't know why the young man did all this, even though no one mentioned him.
Xiao Shuxiang himself without caring about anything immediately put one of his pills into the mouth of the maid.
!!
The pill melts immediately upon touching the tongue, and in just three breaths the previously severed arms begin to grow back.
"good. Uncle Wu..! Let's go,"
!?
"Xiang'Er, so that was it... You tested your pill on him?"
"I don't want to make a mistake, Uncle."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was completely insane. He made Wu Yu have trouble swallowing his saliva. If only the three maids were not there, perhaps the one who would be the victim of the pill trial would be him.
"Nephew, next time before acting... You have to say it first. What you did just now was almost to hang me, I almost thought you were possessed."
"....."
Xiao Shuxiang did not say anything, he walked quickly towards where his White Cat was and immediately gave the girl his homemade pill. Everyone in the room including Lui Me Tian watched her with a tense look.
The Dragon Breath Pill was Xiao Shuxiang's strongest pill. In addition to being able to restore the part of the body that is cut off, it is also able to eliminate toxins. And to be honest, the one currently given to Ling Qing Zhu was not the usual Dragon Breath Pill.
"......"
"......"
"......"
No one spoke, perhaps not even anyone in the room dared to breathe. Time seemed to stop as they waited for Xiao Shuxiang's pill effect.
!!
Ling Qing Zhu spewed blood back. In three breaths, he began to open his eyes slowly. He faintly heard the soft voice of the young man who called out to him.
"White Cat..?"
"Miss.. He survived!"
!!
One of the Demonic Beasts who never stopped checking Ling Qing Zhu's condition exclaimed and made Xiao Shuxiang finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Alchemist Chef immediately sat on the floor and leaned against the edge of the bed while rubbing his face. His shoulder was touched by Wu Yu and was calmed back down.
Lui Me Tian also finally breathed a sigh of relief, he clasped Ling Qing Zhu's hand and was already no longer able to hold back his cries. Thank goodness this girl was saved.
"Your Majesty..."
The servants standing behind Lui Me Tian rubbed the red-clothed woman's back. They cried with relief because their lives were all saved.
"Qing Zhu'Er's.. You heard Auntie, right..?"
"......"
Ling Qing Zhu nodded slowly, he was still too weak yet now he could see clearly. Honestly, he did not think that the creature he saw for the first time was a human creature, but with a face that resembled a wild beast.
Surprisingly, he was neither surprised nor frightened. This may be because the faces seem to worry about him.
One of the servants in charge of checking Ling Qing Zhu's blood flow gasped. He had trouble swallowing and in a half-whispered voice, he said something to Lui Me Tian.
"Your Majesty, is it time to tell Young Master Xiao the matter of 'it'?"
?!
Lui Me Tian looked at the servant who had a cat-like face, she spoke softly. "Isn't Qing Zhu'Er cured? Why are you talking about it again?"
"This entire poison in Miss's body has completely disappeared, her bone state has returned to normal. But there are other problems and this.. A little different,"
The waiter was agitated, he represented his friends talking and their facial expressions seemed difficult to decipher. Lui Me Tian turned his head towards Xiao Shuxiang who was being mobbed by many Demonic Beasts, including Wu Yu.
"Xiao 'Er.. Xiao´Er..!"
Xiao Shuxiang had just heard Lui Me Tian's voice calling out to him. His face looked serious and immediately woke up from where he was. He sat back to the side of the bed with a somewhat tense feeling.
"What's up, Auntie? Did something happen to the White Cat?" Xiao Shuxiang could only manually check Ling Qing Zhu's condition by feeling the vein on the girl's wrist. He was unable to drain the Qi to examine the organs in his White Cat's body, let alone now-he also did not have the God's Eye Pill.
"Qing Zhu'Er was no longer in a dying state, but indeed her state was still weak. I just wanted to say that she's fine, but there's something you have to"
"Shu's.. Xiang.."
!!
Lui Me Tian gasped when he heard Ling Qing Zhu's soft voice, the tone of the white-haired girl's voice could finally be better than before. He asked his servants to make room for Xiao Shuxiang.
His adoptive nephew began to hold the hand of his White Cat. His eyes softened as he looked at the long white-haired girl.
"Get water,"
One of the servants nodded, he immediately took out a glass of water and gave it to Xiao Shuxiang. The young man slowly woke Ling Qing Zhu up and leaned her back, right on the chest of his field.
He asked his White Cat to drink, his gentle treatment of the girl witnessed by Lui Me Tian, Wu Yu, and the Demonic Beasts present in this room.
"How are you feeling?"
"Mrs,"
"Do you want some more water?"
"Mn, no.."
Xiao Shuxiang rubbed the blood marks on Ling Qing Zhu's chin, but the girl instead held her hand. She felt her White Cat wanted her to stop.
"You.. It won't.. Killed them all, right?"
?!
Hearing Ling Qing Zhu's remark to him made Xiao Shuxiang immediately turn to Lui Me Tian. The red-clad woman flinched and immediately turned her gaze in the other direction.
Perhaps to keep her White Cat awake-His adopted aunt said something that made the beautiful girl somewhat afraid of her.
Xiao Shuxiang would indeed have wreaked havoc on the Red Emperor Mountain Region had Ling Qing Zhu not survived. But since the girl had finally gone through her critical years, Xiao Shuxiang's goal had changed.
That Alchemist Chef would not wreak havoc on the entire territory belonging to Lui Me Tian, but he would kill those involved in the matter except Wu Yu and his own foster aunt.
To Xiao Shuxiang, only the person he trusted could be an eyewitness to what happened to his White Cat, and the actions he took. Hence, other than Lui Me Tian and Wu Yu-all Demonic Beasts including the one who helped her in the kitchen earlier had to be finished off.
