HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
308 - Concealment (7)

Others would probably think that Xiao Shuxiang was hit by such an extraordinarily powerful lava burst. But what happened was that the young man was already outside the room and someone was in his carry.

Xiao Shuxiang brought Chu Gu Xiang out of the room. He had a calm expression as he asked the girl to open her mouth. Even at the same time - Xiao Shuxiang put in one of his homemade pills that instantly melted when touching the tongue.

Chu Gu Xiang had not even had the time to react when he felt a sweet taste on his tongue and directly descended into the throat just like that. He was still too weak to respond to what had actually happened.

"I didn't give you my best quality pill, but you still have to pay for it. I don't need a Demonic Core or a Spirit Stone, you have to give me money. I just need money. Understood?"

Chu Gu Xiang heard it but did not respond, he was too shocked by what happened and was trying to catch his breath and understand the current situation.

He reached out and widened to see the wound from the chain mark on his wrist fading even though it did not completely disappear.

Unmitigated, Chu Gu Xiang also did not feel the extreme pain all over his body. This pain had lessened, even the terrible wound on his knee looked slightly healed now.

"Can you walk?" Xiao Shuxiang asked expressionlessly. He pulled Chu Gu Xiang over, forcing the girl to stand up when the sound of screams sounded.

The wound on Chu Gu Xiang's knee did not hurt too much, but it was still so painful. Xiao Shuxiang caught him at the right time and was forced to return to carry him.

"Heah ... Geez, you're a hassle." Xiao Shuxiang started walking around surrounded by his white-winged butterfly.

Chu Gu Xiang grimaced, but not for long did he start to breathe slowly. He only realized his current position was being held by Xiao Shuxiang.

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

Inside the room where he had been chained before, Chu Gu Xiang felt an intense heat piercing to the bone. But in this young man's arms, he felt cold and comfortable as well.

Xiao Shuxiang felt noticed and then looked at the girl who was in his carriage. He said without a tone, "Don't think that I'm helping you and you fall for me right away. I'm not a young man who easily accepts like statements,"

Chu Gu Xiang flinched and blinked a few times. He snorted, "Who fell in love with you? You're too confident,"

Seeing the girl in her carriage turn her face made Xiao Shuxiang say in a tinge full of plunge, "Good then. Because so far ... If a girl had saved her life by a man-she would have immediately fallen in love."

"I'm not that naive." Chu Gu Xiang looked at Xiao Shuxiang and said, "You think you're just a handsome man in this world, huh? And to be honest, it's not you who should be talking about that, but me. Don't blame me if you fall for me,"

Xiao Shuxiang stopped stepping, he was stunned as he looked at the girl in his carriage before finally starting to laugh. Chu Gu Xiang was jolted by it.

The beautiful girl blinked, she felt something was wrong with her vision. He never expected that the laughter from this young man would sound so refreshing. Not to mention, he just noticed well and realized that this young man had a sweet white tooth.

Chu Gu Xiang inwardly shook his head, "I must have gone mad. How could I possibly think of such a thing?"

Xiao Shuxiang walked back and smiled, "I think you're fine now. The proof is that you're starting to talk more,"

"..............." Chu Gu Xiang looked at Xiao Shuxiang and occasionally looked forward. He held on to the shoulder and neck of this young man.

Liu Wei Lin and Wang Zhao were currently fighting with the snake-shaped Demonic Beast. The two worked together until they reached a ladder again.

"Actually when do we get to your palace?" Liu Wei Lin waved his red fan and said, "Before we've climbed the stairs. Fought and went back up the stairs, I was really tired of it."

"Can you not complain?" Wang Zhao said, "You've been talking a lot ever since. But I'm the one who always works,"

"Hmph, maybe you didn't see my fan who'd hit this opponent a lot"

Liu Wei Lin's words were not finished when a loud voice rang out, even the floor he was on was shaking.

Wang Zhao also heard that voice and he turned his head towards Liu Wei Lin, they looked at each other as if they were thinking the same thing.

"I guess the origin of his voice from below," Wang Zhao opened his voice and was snubbed by Liu Wei Lin. He invited the young man to go and see him.

They had just walked a few steps when a loud voice came back and was even stronger. Liu Wei Lin and Wang Zhao felt the air around them become hot.

"Wang Zhao ...?"

"Let's go..!" Wang Zhao felt an uneasy premonition. He darted out followed by Liu Wei Lin.

They met the undead again and without hesitation Wang Zhao slashed at the corpse using a few moves. The ground he was treading shook once more and grew stronger each time.

It was not only Wang Zhao and Liu Wei Lin who heard loud noises and vibrations on the floor they were on, but also Lan Guan Zhi and Hu Li.

The two white-clothed youths were entering the hallway with the stone wall when they heard a loud and explosive sound.

The two of them flinched as several Demonic Beasts ran around and seemed to dodge from something. It was just that those Demonic Beasts were attacking whatever was seen before them.

Lan Guan Zhi and Hu Li were certainly not silent. They would probably give way to these Demonic Beasts if they did not attack them, but it turned out that this kind of Demonic Beast could not be given a single favor.

Hu Li blasted his fox fire and helped Lan Guan Zhi from behind. He felt amazed by this young man who could be so calm in every circumstance, even Lan Guan Zhi was able to give the right decision so that they could avoid danger.

Hu Li felt amazed by this good friend of his Young Master Xiao. He could see there was a resemblance between the figures of Lan Guan Zhi and Xiao Shuxiang from the way they fought and made up their mind, but if one wanted to be honest-Lan Guan Zhi was indeed better.

The truth was that Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi could not be compared. Both have their own privileges, but it is not new to consider Xiao Shuxiang is not someone who has self-control like Lan Guan Zhi.

"Hu Li, we're through here."

"All right..!" Hu Li followed Lan Guan Zhi who became the guide. Xiao Shuxiang's butterflies were all around them and became lights.

The two heard a loud noise, but Lan Guan Zhi did not direct Hu Li to go and see the origin of the sound. Even the longer he ran, the loud voice was no longer heard.

"Young Master Lan," Hu Li opened her voice. "Is this the right way? I feel we may have chosen the wrong direction,"

"The way's right, you're coming with me."

Hu Li flinched. He had not expected that Lan Guan Zhi would be so trusting of his words, when this should have been their first experience in the region of the Demon Valley Sect.

Lan Guan Zhi turned his head and looked at Hu Li, she said without a tone. "This is the first time I've come,"

"G ... But why do you seem to know the ins and outs of this place? I-I'm sorry if I was presumptuous-"

"Because I saw it," Lan Guan Zhi interrupted and made Hu Li flinch. He looked at the young man and then said, "Because I saw the past."

"What?" Hu Li looked confused by the young man's words. He also tried to catch up to Lan Guan Zhi who was getting faster.

That good friend of Xiao Shuxiang had indeed seen it. He knew the roads that monsters often traveled and there was a time when he could see the future of the creatures he was fighting.

From that vision, Lan Guan Zhi came to know the safe path and made the two of them able to arrive even faster to the Black Lotus Palace. It was just that they were in second place after the Crazy Beggar Boy.

The man with the bamboo stick was almost there and was seen hiding from the members of the Demon Valley Sect who were on guard.

So far, the Mad Beggar Boy is still safe. His concealment was filled with tension from being almost caught several times. He shook his head slowly and then rubbed his chest before coming out of his hiding place and walking back.

"So that's ... It was a danger," the Mad Beggar Sighed softly and kept walking while watching his surroundings.

Not long after, he saw the last staircase and as the approaching-Switch Mad Beggar heard a strange sound.

The man with the bamboo stick seemed to be gulping. He walked carefully and suddenly stopped. This tone of voice he heard was different from the others. Even his forehead shriveled.

"Uh ... Hold ..."

!!!

Crazy Beggar Boy flabbergasted. This was not the sound of an undead breath or the growling of a Demonic Beast. It's even more horrible than that.

"No way .." the look on the Mad Beggar Boy's face turned pale. He peeked a little and almost saw two people on the stairs who were doing a couple ritual.

Crazy Beggar Boy hiding back, "Shameless. Really not sane. How could they do such a thing in a place like this?! That's very embarrassing,"

The Mad Beggar Boy held his bamboo staff firmly and was suddenly startled when he realized something. His back was firmly against the wall as he started to blink a few times.

"Wait a minute. I saw that the members of the Demon Valley Sect who were patrolling here were all men. Two people who are doing 'ritual' is not-don't..!"

The mouth of the Mad Beggar Boy was wide open. His dirty thoughts re-emerged and it made his heart pound faster than before.

He watched the two men well and became relieved when those who were making out were not of the same species. Crazy Beggar Boy rubbed his chest, "Oh my God ... Mercifully. Let Xiao Shuxiang alone be abnormal, do not let others be like that."

There was a woman's voice heard, "I feel like there's someone else here ..."

The Mad Beggar Boy knew it was a weak voice and seemed to be trying to catch his breath. He felt horrified at it.

"There are others ... You-"

"There's nothing. Just us here,"

"Tu-wait ... Don't-AH..!"

The Mad Beggar Boy's bamboo stick cracked from being gripped firmly. The man's eyes turned dark and he seemed to be holding back anger. He should have gone through those stairs and reached the Black Lotus Palace, but was instead held back by two shameless species.

"I want to kill them.." a yellow-tight twinkle appeared in the eyes of the Mad Beggar Boy, "I really want to finish off the two perverts..."

Never once has the Mad Beggar Boy been so angry. Even the surrounding wind solidified and seemed to surround the young man's body.

Faintly, the wind was shaped like a dragon and the image was also seen on the black bamboo stick belonging to the Crazy Beggar Boy. The golden engraving that suddenly appeared on the bamboo surface was an enraged dragon with a jade green color on its eyes.

The Mad Beggar Boy would only crashing when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He also used the Air Breathing Technique which made him float for a moment in the air.

The Mad Beggar Boy used both his legs and hands to hold the body on the stone roof. The rough surface and hallway was very fitting for him to stretch his hands and feet so that he could stick well.

The two people who were previously busy doing 'it' also looked shocked. They hurriedly tidied up the clothes and acted as if nothing had happened. Lucky because the conditions in this place was minimal with light.

During the several times of hiding, the Mad Beggar Boy had thought that he would be caught by the Demon Valley Sect members due to the presence of the butterflies belonging to Xiao Shuxiang. But the glowing insect turned out to be very clever.

The butterflies belonging to Xiao Shuxiang were also hiding, they even changed the color of the wings to black and gave off no light at all.

The Crazy Beggar Boy who hid by sticking to the roof was not alone. The butterfly with him also perched on the roof and slowly opened and closed its discolored wings.

"Why are you guys making a storm? What's up?"

The Mad Beggar Boy heard the voice of one of the Demon Valley Sect members and felt curious.

"The lava lake in the Thousand Wounds Pond gushed out time and time again. This could happen if a creature falls into that pool,"

Hearing the words of the members of the Demon Valley Sect made the woman who was previously making out flinch, "A-is there any way that Miss Chu Gu Xiang?!"

A Demon Valley Sect member cursed, "Damn it! How did he get off? The chains that bind him are so strong,"

"I don't know either,"

"Did you see the explosion? What if it doesn't come from the Thousand Wounds Pool?"

"It's coming from there. The explosions were thick and the air was so hot. No other place in this basement could produce such an explosion,"

"Great, we're going now..!"

The Crazy Beggar Boy noticed those Demon Valley Sect members who started rushing over. He breathed slowly and then jumped down, his feet treading gently on the ground.

The butterflies that perched on the roof of the stone wall began to fly. Their wings quickly turned white and gave off light again. The beautiful winged insect followed the Mad Beggar Boy who was moving.
