XIAO SHUXIANG'S

99 - Jade Lotus Village [Revised]

The presence of the baby Moon Tiger made Xiao Shuxiang feel at home lingering in Lan Guan Zhi's room. He played with the tiger cub and occasionally fed it with herbs, while Lan Guan Zhi watched them while writing his rhyme.

"It's only been a day and he's been this agile. Good boy~"

nyawn rrruuurr

Lan Xiao rubbed his head in Xiao Shuxiang's hand as if asking for a caress from the beautiful child.

"Hurry to grow up and be my mount, and when the time comes. I will make you a sacrifice of my Rebirth..!" Xiao Shuxiang smiled gently as he rubbed Lan Xiao's stomach.

"Hm? What did you say?" Xiao Shuxiang raised next to his brows when he heard Lan Xiao's voice just now.

nyan

"Lan Xiao, I'm not your mother. Don't call it that,"

Lan Guan Zhi noticed Xiao Shuxiang advising the baby Moon Tiger and explained that she was not a mother. Unfortunately, the baby Moon Tiger still called Xiao Shuxiang as its mother.

Xiao Shuxiang had only left after Lan Xiao had slept. He then walked to the Four Way Building to take on the mission. What a coincidence, he turned out to be one group with Jing Mi and Nie Shang.

Xiao Shuxiang's first mission was to hunt demonic beasts in a village. The Sky Sword Sect disciple explained, "The Jade Lotus Village people are being overwhelmed by the attack from the demonic beast in the form of a stray dog. If the Demonic Beast calls his flock, you must not be reckless to fight. And remember, this mission is not a burden..! Come back soon even if you fail or succeed."

Jing Mi and Nie Shang nodded, they along with Xiao Shuxiang started to climb the flying sword to head to the Jade Lotus Village.

The journey took three days. When we arrived, some of the houses looked messy. Other than Xiao Shuxiang, Jing Mi and Nie Shang, there were also cultivators from other sects.

There was a strange feeling that Xiao Shuxiang felt with his first mission. He felt that this mission was not just a hunting demon beast.

"We'd better find an inn" Xiao Shuxiang asked Jing Mi and Nie Shang.

Walking around in the Jade Lotus Village, making these three children the center of attention. The villagers had never seen such a young boy in white clothes and looked sparkling.

Xiao Shuxiang actually did not like the clothes of the Sky Sword Sect because it would definitely be dirty exposed to blood if he was not careful. Though Xiao Shuxiang's clothes would usually be soaked by blood, wearing black clothes was much better.

Xiao Shuxiang, Jing Mi and Nie Shang entered one of the small inns. They ordered food in one room.

The three then sat waiting for the food to arrive while watching the person who came in and out of the room. Jing Mi felt like she was being noticed, she repeatedly turned her head but found nothing.

Nie Shang who was astonished by Jing Mi's behavior then asked, but Jing Mi just shook her head while asking that Nie Shang not have to worry.

Two servants arrived, serving food ordered by Jing Mi, Nie Shang and Xiao Shuxiang. These three children did not know the eyes of the two skinny servants were very suspicious.

Jing Mi, Nie Shang and Xiao Shuxiang started filling their stomachs. While eating, Xiao Shuxiang could hear the sound of falling objects, as he turned his head.

Not only one customer, but all customers are like that. Jing Mi and Nie Shang were also one of them. Xiao Shuxiang was so shocked, he tried to wake his friends but could not.

"Brother Jing? Brother Jing?! Nie Shang...?! Nie Shangs..."

Slowly, Xiao Shuxiang's eyes faded, he felt a great drowsiness and immediately Xiao Shuxiang fell asleep like Jing Mi and the others.

The two maids who had brought the food earlier began to nod when all their customers suddenly fainted. Soon, the two walked towards the kitchen.

Surprisingly, in the kitchen was gathered seven men with fierce faces and looked like pirates. The Jade Lotus Village had already become their nest.

All the little children and young girls of the Jade Lotus Village were put into wooden cages. While for the elderly tied up and some made wild animal food.

There were about ten household heads in the Jade Lotus Village that were released, these were the ones who sent letters of request to some small sects in order to be helped to repel the demonic beasts.

One of the pirates turned out to send a letter to the Sky Sword Sect, they were like they were willing to challenge this sect.

All the customers who had fainted started to be tied up, not least Xiao Shuxiang and his two friends. To a prey that was a cultivator, the rope that bound him was a special rope.

Some of the pirates started to activate the barrier so that the Jade Lotus Village could not be seen let alone entered by outsiders. From the hand seals they used, these pirates were in fact cultivators.

There was no object marking the origin of their sect. If they were not Black Flow cultivators, then they were from Free Flow. Because most Free Flow cultivators did not come from any sect.

The medicine they used turned out to be the liquid from the roots of the Ghost Grass. Plants that only lived on the mountain peak with extremely dense Qi, similar to the Mother Mountain.

Xiao Shuxiang could be said to be quite familiar with the Ghost Grass, as this plant was one of the Third Patriarch's favorite plant collections. Unfortunately, Xiao Shuxiang still had not thoroughly researched the nature and character of this grass.

In general, drinking fluids from Ghost Grass can make a person unconscious for three days, and the body will be very weak and vision will blur. But in fact, the Ghost Grass liquid had no effect on Xiao Shuxiang.

It could be seen from Xiao Shuxiang who started to slowly open his eyes. Originally, Xiao Shuxiang's gaze was a little blurred, but gradually it began to clear. He could see and hear the fierce-looking humans laughing while partying.

The pirates apparently opened the cage and transported Xiao Shuxiang to his chief's place. In Xiao Shuxiang's heart wondered about what these pirates would do to him.

"Chairman, I brought it."

A burly man, with various incisions on his face and body. He walked towards Xiao Shuxiang who was currently being laid down. The robbers' rough and large hands touched the head of Xiao Shuxiang and drained his Qi.

"Hmm, Rooted Dantian. Such a famous sect turned out to have useless disciples like this, hmph!"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was inwardly upset. He could not believe that anyone would dare to insult him. Quite a Third Patriarch did so because the Patriarch was the son of a Senior as well as his best friend.

"She's so beautiful, we'll keep her until she grows up. Ha ha ha,"

Xiao Shuxiang was again surprised when the pirate chief said to nurture him for assuming that Xiao Shuxiang was a daughter.

"You think I'm a chicken, so it can be kept?! I will also be picky about the owner if anyone wants to keep me, it is impossible to be nurtured by someone like you!!"

Xiao Shuxiang was then put into a special confinement, he was separated from his friends. When no one was watching, Xiao Shuxiang started to untie the rope that bound him. He cursed because the rope was so strong.

"This won't stop me," Xiao Shuxiang enveloped his hand with blue flames, as soon as the rope began to fall apart. Carefully, Xiao Shuxiang walked out of his confinement. He shook his head slightly as the door of his cage was completely unlocked.

"They're too sure of the straps they're making. Haah, looks like they're still new kids..."

Xiao Shuxiang jumped up and tried to find his flying sword, as well as trying to get to where Jing Mi and Nie Shang were.

Xiao Shuxiang's sword was inside another cage along with all the treasures these pirates had.

"They're drunk, good!" Xiao Shuxiang gathered Qi on his fist and started punching the cage until a loud thumping sound was heard.

Xiao Shuxiang deliberately made a fuss. After taking his sword and the sword of his two friends, he burned the whole place with his fire. He even set fire to several houses to wake the pirates.

!!

Three pirate men suddenly gasped in shock when they heard the sound of a thump. They were so shocked to see their chairman's treasure cage and residence burning.

Not yet they shouted, a sword shot and hit the neck of one of the three that immediately made him die instantly.

The sword stuck so deeply, Xiao Shuxiang landed gracefully beside the corpses of the pirates he killed.

"I think I'm a little bit overboard..." Xiao Shuxiang pulled back his sword and started staring at the two pirates with a smile.

!!

The breath choked and the like heart stopped beating. The two pirates were so shocked they could say nothing. Xiao Shuxiang suddenly used a sword that had been covered in blood to stab back the body of a corpse nearby.

Xiao Shuxiang raised a question about the inside of the human body to the two people in front of him, Xiao Shuxiang offered to show them. It made the two pirates tremble in fear and try their hardest to run.

Xiao Shuxiang walked leisurely following the two far behind, he was intent on killing the two while in front of their chairman.

These two men turned out to be just ordinary humans. They had seen their chief kill, yet had never seen a plain-faced little boy commit murder like Xiao Shuxiang. Moreover, the child did it so easily.

The pirate chief though still drunk knows that his residence was attacked. With a slight step, the pirate chief and his comrades saved themselves from the blazing flames.

"WHO DID THIS..?!" the pirate chief despite shouting out loud, he still could not balance his body. You could say, they are all still under the influence of wine.

Xiao Shuxiang fiddled with his hair, seeing him sitting on the cage where his friend Jing Mi, Nie Shang and the villagers were.

"I have no taste in killing drunk people. They couldn't give Xiao Shuxiang such good entertainment."

Xiao Shuxiang blew his hair bangs, he then re-launched his sword to slash the neck of one of the pirates. His actions were so shocking.

The pirate chief shouted loudly, his eyes were red in addition to being drunk as well because of anger with the attack that killed his men. He looked over and saw a child dressed in white.

"THAT LITTLE GIRL?! HOW COULD HE WAKE UP!!"

The pirate chief started to gain his consciousness, he glared with a glaring gaze pointed at Xiao Shuxiang while shouting.

"Who are you calling a girl, huh? How dare..! I'm a Man!!" Xiao Shuxiang with the swords belonging to Jing Mi and Nie Shang, instantly darted rapidly towards the pirate chief.
