Become A Protagonist 2's
Chapters. 17 - Grandpa Keeper of the Temple

800 Years ago, a village woman dreamed of seeing a demon while she was in a large room filled with human bones. Then, the next day, the woman was pregnant with a child who was not clear where it came from when in fact, this woman had never been in contact with a man let alone been married.

Nine months later, she gave birth to a son. However, there is a strange thing that happens to the baby. It was like he had a curse mark on his forehead. The sign was red like blood in the middle of the snow. And the woman, still loves him like her own child.

Then, a few years later precisely when the child was ten years old, suddenly the child had the ability to revive the dead. His presence even made the magical beasts gather to protect him.

At first, the woman still ignored the strangeness that had happened to her son. However, a few years later, his son became very strange. Suddenly he was possessed by his own darkest side so that, he turned into a black devil who destroyed his own village. The woman died at the hands of her own son as well as the entire village. Now, people are starting to call him a cursed devil.

When the child's cultivation had reached the peak, he split his own strength so that a white Devil could be created.

”Hei! Old grandpa! You're done with the story?” chirp Xiao Qing Xuan who heard the entire story told by a temple guard grandfather of the Peach God Tree while the two were resting there.

”You are so impolite to parents!” the snapped of the old geezer who instantly pulled both cheeks of Xiao Qing Xuan made him look extremely annoyed.

Slapping the old grandfather's hand, Xiao Qing Xuan said, ”Stop doing that! I am not your grandson let alone your son!” he said while holding his cheek. ”... Ouch,... I thought my face would swell even worse. And again, my clothes are really uncomfortable.” he murmured after seeing his clothes filled with dried blood.

”Why did your clothes get like that? Make everyone uncomfortable to be near you.” said the old man with a sneering tone.

Xiao Qing Xuan looked at him confusedly and asked, ”Then, why are you still here? There go!”

”You should have left here, boy!” yelled the old geezer who retracted Xiao Qing Xuan's cheeks and ears.

”Cih! This person really made me think of someone.” Inner Xiao Qing Xuan who was holding back her growing regret.

”Adik Xuan! You should wash your body immediately. I will wash your clothes.” said Xiao Ruo who walked over to the two of them.

Xiao Qing Xuan looked at him in surprise and wondered in her mind, ”Washing the body? Does that mean I'm supposed to take a shower?”

***

”No want! I don't want to take off my clothes!” xiao Qing Xuan shouted as he hugged himself as he and Xiao Ruo were in a lake covered by a forest.

”But, if you don't take it off, brother Xuan will catch a cold. You better take it off so that I can wash it.” said Xiao Ruo who still insisted on undressing Xiao Qing Xuan.

”No! I still don't want to!” yelled Xiao Qing Xuan who stepped away from him then said in her mind, ”... If only you knew how depressed I was when I saw this body! After all my soul is still a good woman and not arrogant! There's no way I undress in a public place let alone in a forest like this.”

”Why not want to open it? Aren't me and Xuan's sister a boy? After all, no one will peek here.” said Xiao Ruo.

”Not so!” yelled Xiao Qing Xuan. ”Actually, I am not from here and my soul is an ordinary girl. So, I can't carelessly undress.”

Xiao Ruo looked at him in confusion. Increasingly, he felt extremely astonished by Xiao Qing Xuan's ever-changing nature. He also forced to walk up to him while saying, ”Don't say weird again! Quickly remove your clothes so that I can wash them.” said Xiao Ruo who directly pulled Xiao Qing Xuan's belt.

”Wait a minute!” xiao Qing Xuan shouted that directly pushed Xiao Ruo into the water. However, Xiao Ruo involuntarily pulled Xiao Qing Xuan's hand so that the two of them fell down simultaneously.

The water in the lake has a height of up to below their knees so that the two do not drift to the bottom of the river. Xiao Qing Xuan felt extremely shocked as she too was pushed into the water. His entire body became wet and the dried blood attached to his clothes slowly began to disappear.

”Adik Xuan? You okay there?” xiao Ruo asked who immediately ran up to him.

Rubbing his back head, Xiao Qing Xuan replied, ”Yes, I'm fine—

”Ah! Brother Xuan? You why? Your nose is bleeding!” said Xiao Ruo who looked surprised.

Xiao Li had a trauma to the torn bread that made him nosebleed.

Xiao Qing Xuan chuckled and replied, ”It's okay. Looks like a water leech just stuck to me.”

”Then you can wash it with water, right?” said Xiao Ruo who stopped in front of him.

Shortly after Xiao Qing Xuan cleaned up the blood that was under her nose, her misting grew worse and gushed out when she saw Xiao Ruo undressing her top.

”K~ brother Ruo! Why are you undressing here?” xiao Qing Xuan asked awkwardly after he saw Xiao Ruo finish undressing.

Xiao Ruo was stunned and directly stared at him. ”If it is not opened sister Xuan will catch a cold. It's best to just open it and let it dry on its own.”

Xiao Qing Xuan's face instantly flushed red and said, ”No! Nah! I don't want to open it!” he said while walking away from her.

Xiao Ruo looked at him dejectedly and said, ”If sister Xuan doesn't take it off, I'm afraid that sister Xuan will be sick whereas her journey is still very far away. If that happens then, I'll be bothered.”

”Huh! He must be bluffing! I won't open it!” inner Xiao Qing Xuan while throwing away her face.

”.....”

”Young man, you're so stubborn. Here, let me just open it for you.” said an old geezer standing behind Xiao Qing Xuan. From that moment on, the old geezer instantly undid Xiao Qing Xuan's entire attire and threw her to the edge of the lake.

”Ahh! You old grandpa! You don't know how depressed I am?!” yelled Xiao Qing Xuan who instantly grabbed the old grandfather's hair behind him.

”No manners! How dare you treat an old man like this!” the old man immediately slammed Xiao Qing Xuan's head onto the surface of the water.

Not getting there, Xiao Qing Xuan retaliated by kicking the old geezer's leg to the point of tripping him who was submerged in the water.

As he fell into the water, the grandfather pushed Xiao Qing Xuan's waist down so as to make her slam back and drown in the water for a while.

”Ah! Do not act while in the water. Your body will be sickly later.” Xiao Ruo said anxiously as he walked over to the two. However, it is useless that the two continue to wrestle in the water as if they do not care how their condition will be.

Sure enough, a few moments later, they also complained of pain in the joints and also their backs. The two stopped and decided to get out of the water.

”......”

”......”

”My whole body is sore-squeezed. If it wasn't for that old bastard to intrude on my privacy, I probably wouldn't be like this.” Xiao Qing Xuan sneered in annoyance.

”Who are you calling old?! You little donkey!” shouted the old man who looked annoyed.

”Indeed who told you two to wrestle in the water?” xiao Ruo who looked angry as he was treating Xiao Qing Xuan's back using the medicine at hand.
