Become A Protagonist 2's
Chapters. 03 - Become a Hostage

Xiao Qing Xuan directly threw her shoes towards Zhi Shuang and finally landed right on his head. ”... What do you mean I've been held hostage since?! Then, what's the bear behind me?” xiao Qing Xuan shouted in surprise after the bear embrace behind him grew firmer.

Zhi Shuang glanced towards Xiao Qing Xuan with a cold gaze. ”... Of course I used that bear to hold your whole move. Pretty smart, right?” he ended with a proud smile.

”Very bad.” Inner Xiao Qing Xuan who looked at him in wonder.

Zhi Shuang directly said, ”Ya! Just get to the point. Earlier I wanted to thank Zhang Chen for coming here. I knew you'd come if I took your useless student hostage. I envy him so much and think, why could this kid be your personal student. By the way, I am a big fan of you—

”Live to the point only!” yelled Xiao Qing Xuan who stopped Zhi Shuang's remark.

”Do not get angry. Later you will quickly grow old.” replied Zhi Shuang who managed to make Xiao Qing Xuan speechless instantly. ”... I have already heard of the fight of the two of you with the white Devil Shangzhu Shi at the peak of Meiyou. I didn't think it was so stressful. And I heard, Zhang Chen had already killed Xiao Qing Xuan in his fight. However, why am I now able to see the living Xiao Qing Xuan?”

The two fell silent for a moment as soon as Zhi Shuang ended his sentence.

”Oh yes, I remember. While trying to revive the real Liu Zhang Chen, I sacrificed my own body so that my spiritual power could come into direct contact with him. Could that be what caused me to take over her body?” it was Xiao Qing Xuan's inner self that immediately thought about it.

Liu Zhang Chen who kept silent and hid his expression finally replied, ”Qing Xuan, come here.”

Xiao Qing Xuan was stunned and instantly tried to extricate herself from the grasp of the male bear behind her. ”... Can't!” he said in a pleading tone as if to be let go by her.

”I told you to come here but you're still standing there!” liu Zhang Chen's snapping instantly made Xiao Qing Xuan feel extremely shocked.

After which, Liu Zhang Chen immediately moved swiftly cutting off the two hands of the huge bear that was holding Xiao Qing Xuan back. And after cutting it, he immediately pulled Xiao Qing Xuan away from the place using his teleportation spell.

The bear whose hand had been taken off earlier, instantly disappeared and turned back into a black shadow figure. ”... Hmm, there's something they're hiding. But I don't know what they're hiding. What do you think, Mr snake?” zhi Shuang asked a green snake wrapped around his neck.

The snake is hissing in his ears. Afterwards, Zhi Shuang thought, ”So, right Qing Xuan has become a black Devil after Zhang Chen killed him? It was only fitting that his strength exceeded that of an ordinary Demon practitioner. Is its existence very dangerous?”

The snake again hissed in his ear and he said, ”... Not so dangerous? Whatdoes thatmean? White Devils like Shangzhu Shi alone had almost thrown the entire world into chaos let alone the existence of black Devils around them. Isn't this very absurd unless Qing Xuan is a crazy person?”

A long-horned fawn whispered it in Zhi Shuang's ear. ”... Does it all depend on his mood? The more chaotic the think, the crazier the action. Even so, I still feel unsure. How strong is he? I mean, what's his power like? I have never seen someone capable of surpassing Shangzhu Shi.”

”Why not just test it?” said a young man who came from another direction.

Zhi Shuang immediately turned his head towards the direction this voice came from and he saw a young man with a ponytail of hair and both eyes covered in black cloth were standing under the tree.

”Hah? Who are you?” asked Zhi Shuang who did not know who this man behind him was.

The young man smiled a grin. He walked over a few steps before he finally said, ”If you want to know how strong the black demon is, why not just test it? I heard that they were seriously injured after fighting Shangzhu Shi. Do you want to waste this opportunity?”

”I want to but, they're too strong and I don't want to take any chances. If that chance makes me have to bet my life, what am I doing? It is better for me to take good care of my life than to bother fighting with someone who is clearly stronger than me.” Zhi Shuang replied calmly.

The young man smiled sinisterly and walked back towards him. ”... What you're saying is the act of a coward. It's only right you don't have any friends. Aye right?” said the young man who managed to make Zhi Shuang look surprised. ”... When you met Qing Xuan, you felt that it was the first time that you had a close conversation with someone else. Haah, man,... It's only natural you have that feeling. All this time, you only talked to the animals around you, right?”

Zhi Shuang immediately turned around slowly so that he was not suspected by the young man behind him. ”... Sorry but, I was in a hurry.” he said who then walked away from the place.

”Wait a minute.” said the young man who made Zhi Shuang's move stopped instantly. ”... You are strong enough to defeat him but, it seems like you have no intention of killing him.”

Zhi Shuang looked back and asked, ”Then? Why?”

The youth took out a pouch of spirits from behind his clothes and said, ”... As you can see, this pouch of spirits in my hand no longer fit. There are even some spirits that can escape. If left unchecked, it would be a disaster for everyone. Because that,... Be a container for them!”

Right after, the entire evil spirit stored in the pouch instantly spread out in all directions and then they all pointed towards Zhi Shuang who did not know where they were going to attack.

”Zhi Shuang! Be my puppet!”

***

A HOEKKK!

”Don't I tell you? Don't play around with snakes but, you still want to hold them.” Liu Zhang Chen said as he looked at Xiao Qing Xuan who was vomiting on the riverbank due to snake venom.

”I didn't know that the snake was so inhospitable plus, they gave me the milk of a bear! Uh! It was like treating poison with poison!” xiao Qing Xuan said in a voice that sounded trembling.

Liu Zhang Chen slightly laughed as he looked at it. He walked up to her again and gave her a small pill that could be used to clear the poison.

”At least this pill will be more useful compared to bear milk.” Liu Zhang Chen said while showing the pill.

”Is there any side effects?” asked Xiao Qing Xuan who looked suspicious towards everyone around her.

”Should not exist. But, since I made it, this pill will probably make you feel more sleepy than usual. It was all done so that the person's suffering was gone.” Liu Zhang Chen explained.

”He couldn't possibly lie to me, right?” inner Xiao Qing Xuan who instantly took it. ”... If I eat it, how long will I sleep?”

Liu Zhang Chen replied, ”... Only for 12 hours.”

”Huh? Long time. I thought that five hours alone was enough.” Inner Xiao Qing Xuan who directly drank it without asking any more.

After drinking it, Xiao Qing Xuan did not feel anything happening within her. He looked at Liu Zhang Chen next to him and asked, ”... Why can't I feel anything—

Xiao Qing Xuan instantly fell leaning on Liu Zhang Chen's shoulder before he ended his sentence. At that moment, he fell asleep without thinking about the current situation.

”Do not think of anything. Sleep a long time.” whispered Liu Zhang Chen.
