HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
267 - Proximity (6)

Being involved in an embarrassing accident and not at all elegant left Ling Qing Zhu's scalp numb. He had goosebumps all the way to the bone and because of that, his expression grew even colder.


Xiao Shuxiang himself did not apologize for what happened. The young man coughed softly and said, "I think there's a problem with the bulkhead. I'll replace it for you later,"


Ling Qing Zhu nodded in response. He hid his embarrassment and then opened his voice to change this topic.


The white-haired girl's voice was calm, Ling Qing Zhu asked. "What brings you here?"


Xiao Shuxiang was stunned and tonelessly said, "You don't see my appearance now? I want to show you. How's it?"


Ling Qing Zhu gasped as the young man before him easily smiled and acted as usual. In contrast to her who forced the outer appearance to remain calm despite her messy feelings.


Really, it really is a hard work to have to speak in front of this person. But the most surprising thing is that other people helped him so that they could get out together and forget about the unethical incident just now.


Ling Qing Zhu sighed softly, he looked at the young man before him and twinkled at his softened eyes. He noticed this figure and blinked.


".......... You look amazing,"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He was stunned for a while for not believing what he had just seen.


The Alchemist Chef was already used to praise. She was certainly very confident that Ling Qing Zhu would praise her, but what was unexpected was that this girl showed a smile that was very rarely seen.


The sparkle on Xiao Shuxiang's eyes changed. As if holding something to explode inside his chest. Expressionless, he reached out with both hands and seemed to signal to others.


Ling Qing Zhu blinked, puzzled. "What's wrong with your hand?"


As he said that, Ling Qing Zhu extended both of his hands which were then held by the young man before him. He flinched as this subject lowered his head and kissed his hand.


"You should never smile like this to anyone else."


The voice was cold and contained an unrealistic possessive desire. Ling Qing Zhu even involuntarily held his breath. This is a possessive desire that is quite terrible for people who put their liking to it.


Ling Qing Zhu had all this time seen Xiao Shuxiang as a polite figure to her despite being shameless to others. He could feel extremely treated special and respected by this young man. He forgot something important that no matter how respectful Xiao Shuxiang was to him-this subject was still a man of desire.


Xiao Shuxiang himself took a deep breath and held firmly onto Ling Qing Zhu's two hands. He closed his eyes and spoke as calmly as possible.


"You have to wait,"


"..............?" Ling Qing Zhu did not understand at all, yet he somehow became very nervous.


"Wait until my training is over. After that, let's do a real wedding night ritual."


"What?"


"We never get it right, there's not even a chance to do that..."


Before Xiao Shuxiang finished speaking, Ling Qing Zhu had already sensed that cold water had been splashed on him, giving him goosebumps. How could this talk lead to such an unimaginable topic?!


Xiao Shuxiang said, "You don't have to worry about anything. I'll make sure you don't get sick or bleed, really."


"..............."


Ling Qing Zhu, though continued to repeat and said to himself inwardly in order to remain calm-yet his heart was as noisy as the waves in the sea.


Shameless.


Sassy.


He was just about to show some hospitality, but what was this he just heard? That his Guardian invited him to perform the wedding night ritual and solemnly said it wouldn't make him sick or bleed?!


"..............." Ling Qing Zhu did not know what to respond at this moment. He felt a pain in the back of his head and thought about slashing someone then killing himself.


Just as he wanted to carry out that intention, Ling Qing Zhu realized that both of his hands were within the grasp of others' hands. He stared at the subject in front of him and pondered for some time.


What is he doing right now? Is it just cupping hands, grasping them gently and being obedient like this?


Isn't what he's doing wrong?


As a figure who once made an uproar a continent and to the point of dreading many people-shouldn't he behave as gently as this, right?


He should have gotten rid of this little table, used his one hand to grip the wrists of these two subjects' hands, pressed down on it violently and urged on it.


If there is a rejection. Even if this subject rebelled, he could easily overcome it. From the very beginning his strength was unparalleled. So why did he just shut up and still choose to be friendly?


"......... You train well," Ling Qing Zhu finally opened his voice. He made the figure in front of him flinch.


Xiao Shuxiang regained his composure. He almost did something that traumatized and scared the girl.


"White Cat ..." Xiao Shuxiang's voice was soft. A little hesitant, but he kept talking. "Can I hug you?"


"What's wrong with you?" Ling Qing Zhu frowned. He blinked as he saw Xiao Shuxiang take one step closer without letting go of his handrails.


The table is just a small thing. Just one step was needed and there was no longer any separation between him and this young man.


Xiao Shuxiang hugged him with sturdy arms covered in long sleeves of clothes. He was hugged before giving an answer.


"White Cat ... I actually once said that there should be no words 'Thank You' and 'Sorry' between us. So I just wanted to say .... I'm glad you're still with me" Xiao Shuxiang said in a soft tone of voice.


The young man lowered his gaze and said, "Even though I know ... Actually you don't like."


"..............." Ling Qing Zhu was breathing slowly. He subconsciously reached out and patted his Guardian Protector's cheek gently.


Ling Qing Zhu's voice softly as he said, "Not at all. You're thinking too far. I'm the one who should have said that... I'm glad you're still with me, too,"


Xiao Shuxiang smiled gently, she hugged even tighter without knowing something that others were hiding from her.

Xiao Shuxiang returned to training under the guidance of Elder Chen Duan Shan. He was diligent in studying the Book of No Appeal and reciting the Soul Control Sutra in his pause of rest.


He also secretly read the contents of the Sun Killing Book he had obtained when Elder Chen Duan Shan had not come to watch over him. On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang's friends also trained hard with their respective guidance teachers.


Hu Li himself had only been able to visit his Young Master after three days of living in the Thousand Sword Palace. He could only really speak privately with Xiao Shuxiang on the moonlit night like this now.


Xiao Shuxiang sat inside an open room in Elder Chen's residence Duan Shan. He said, "We've met before and I forgot to ask this .... What has the Mad Beggar Boy done so that you can ascend to this Upper Cultivation Realm?"


Hu Li voiced softly and replied, "The Young Master gave me an invitation. Nothing special at all, not even for anything else,"


"What about the job I gave you?"


"..............." Hu Li took out a scroll behind his clothes and politely placed it on the table. He said, "I found this and there was almost nothing to it."


Xiao Shuxiang picked up the scroll on the table and read the contents. The thing in his hand was part of the Sun Killing Book and Hu Li was very successful in finding it.


Hu Li was actually interested when he saw the appearance of his Young Master Xiao. This figure is different but not foreign. Honestly, he liked Xiao Shuxiang's change in all-white clothes. His Young Master is very charming, especially when wearing a forehead ribbon.


"You did a good job, Hu Li. And I feel like I should give you one more assignment,"


Hu Li gasped at Xiao Shuxiang's smile. He breathed slowly and then nodded. His arrival to the Upper Cultivation Realm was indeed to always help his Young Master. There was nothing more important than Xiao Shuxiang to him.
