![HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]](https://pub-808a39b4257a4970ba241a999948d404.r2.dev/hidden-evil--xiao-shuxiang-the-series-.webp)
Xiao Shuxiang looked at the sunlight that penetrated through the sidelines of the leaves, this atmosphere would be very soothing if he did not know that this was part of one's Dream Landscape.
"You're asking about how many percent of your chances will be to win against the Dream Devil, right? Honestly, it's no more than 1 %."
Xiao Shuxiang flinched and immediately turned his head towards the man walking beside him. He was of course shocked, his eyes even widened so unreliable.
The man with natural green colored eyes looked at the young man nearby and said, "Technically ... The Dream Devil is not your opponent. He's at a level where you can't match him,"
"That's impossible. Do I really have no chance of winning?"
"Mc ... Can you control yourself when you're dreaming?" the man asked and made Xiao Shuxiang flinch again. He could tell the answer just by looking at the expression of this young man.
The man explained, "Basically, dreams are something you can't control, these are the facts. When you're dreaming, your whole senses will work, you can even feel emotions like fear and so on. But in our present position ... This place is someone else's dream. You can't forget this,"
Xiao Shuxiang nodded slowly, "I understand. But is there nothing I can do in this place? I might be able to find something like the core of this dream and destroy it, or something else."
"The dream does exist. Suppose there is a layer by layer that becomes a barrier in this place to the core of the dream, and now we are in the outermost area. When you walk deeper, the conditions around you will get worse and of course this will be very bad. You can never go deeper,"
"So there's nothing I can do?" Xiao Shuxiang started to get anxious about his state. Right now, he could not even expend any spiritual energy. He's completely helpless.
The natural green-eyed man took a breath and said, "You really can't do anything. The only thing that can be done is to wait until this dream landscape ends, but ..."
"Devil Dreams can take advantage of the present condition to take the lives of others." Xiao Shuxiang said, "I felt a bad premonition before and now I am in this place. I don't want to imagine anything that isn't, but there's a chance that the Dream Devil is fighting against someone and using this technique to get his enemy trapped."
"Your thoughts are broad, indeed it is one of the functions of this Dream Landscape. Those who are trapped in it will experience different events, terrible or not ... Depending on how good the Dream Devil is to them,"
Xiao Shuxiang smiled bitterly, the word 'good' addressed to the Dream Devil certainly has another meaning. He exhaled and looked up for a moment.
"Oh yeah, where's that rice flour-faced friend of yours?" the man who was with Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice again.
"He went to the Lower Cultivation Realm, I don't know what he's doing right now."
"What's his name...?"
"Crazy Beggar, he's more familiarly called that." Xiao Shuxiang suddenly remembered something and then turned his head. "You once said that you are the Creator of the Dragon Breathing Technique, so how big is the technique?"
"Mn? Didn't you ever see your friend use it? You should already know how much of an impact he can make,"
Xiao Shuxiang shook his head softly, "I never saw the Mad Beggar Boy really being serious while fighting. So I don't know how powerful the Dragon Breathing Technique he has. What is your breathing technique?"
"Ha ha ha, of course not. Practically still at the level of a praying mantis. He's stronger than you, but he's still a novice in my eyes."
Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he spontaneously protested, saying. "If the Mad Beggar Boy is still a beginner in your eyes, then what about me? Do I look like a little baby?"
"You're an adorable baby,"
Xiao Shuxiang was astonished, let alone this fellow actually laughing and mocking himself. Fortunately, he still loved life so much that he did not yell at and call this figure.
!!
His life? Xiao Shuxiang suddenly remembered something and then asked, "Can you use your strength in this place?"
"Sure, why? You don't believe it?"
"Why not do it since?!" Xiao Shuxiang exclaimed, "I should have gotten out of this place from earlier, right..! Oh my gosh,"
"Shuxiang, that's not how it works." The man said, "I can use my powers in this place, but I can't get you out. You have to get out your own way,"
Xiao Shuxiang looked at the natural green-eyed man beside him and then exhaled. He tried to calm himself down and then asked again, "Alright. I'll ask the others. Between you and the Dream Devil, who is stronger?"
"Mn?" the green-eyed man blinked a few times and then coughed softly as if realizing something.
The green-eyed man scratched his non-itchy cheeks and voiced half-nervously. "Ehm ... That ... I think I-I-Oh!"
He groaned as he suddenly had his forehead flicked by Xiao Shuxiang. He was clearly so shocked that he was stunned by it.
Xiao Shuxiang blew his front pony hair and crossed his hands, "Sucks. Are you pranking me? You are clearly stronger than the Dream Devil, but why do you say as if I have no hope of winning or leaving this place..! Aahs ... Goddamnit,"
Xiao Shuxiang was just about to curse back when he saw the sight of the man beside him that suddenly darkened. He had only just become aware of his actions and was very surprised.
"Senior..! I'm sorry, really! I didn't mean to do it," Xiao Shuxiang rubbed gently on the forehead of the subject beside him, even to the point of blowing it.
The natural green-eyed man was again surprised by this sudden action. He who had previously wanted to get angry became stunned and stared at the figure before him.
"Seniors. You're doing okay, right? You're not concussion, are you? My hands are so naughty, my goodness ... Your forehead's getting red,"
"Annu ... Shuxiang?"
"Yes? What's up?" Xiao Shuxiang looked worried and again rubbed gently on this man's forehead while blowing it. He stopped when both hands were held.
"You're too close to me, please step back a little."
"Oh, sorry. This is because I'm worried about you," Xiao Shuxiang took a few steps and felt that this condition was a bit awkward.
The natural green-eyed man gently rubbed his chest and exhaled, "You're very considerate. But your actions just got too good, I was surprised. So don't do it again,"
"Don't you know that you're a very-ehm... Never mind. Let's go,"
Xiao Shuxiang blinked, feeling astonished by the ancestral manner of this Mad Beggar Boy. He followed the man and walked beside him.
Xiao Shuxiang's. "Senior, are you still mad at me? I was completely unintentional. I was pissed off and subconsciously hurt you, you wouldn't be mad, would you?"
The green-eyed man rubbed his forehead and shook his head slowly, "I'm fine. Your actions are honestly shocking, but well ... You could say I'm familiar with this kind of feeling."
"Mn? Senior Intent ... Do you often get a kick?"
"So, there is someone who is also very brave to put his hand on my body. She's very upsetting,"
Xiao Shuxiang flinched and spontaneously said, "Did you also like to be harassed like the Crazy Beggar Boy?"
"What did you say?!"
Xiao Shuxiang was shocked when he was snapped suddenly. He pursed his lips and lowered his gaze. His voice was slow as he said, "I think ... You have a unique hobby like the Crazy Beggar Boy"
"I'm a normal guy, you know. I like pretty girls with beautiful asses. My favorite girl is an amazing creature,"
Xiao Shuxiang blinked seeing the man beside him smiling and as if he was imagining something. If it was like this, he felt that the ancestor of the Mad Beggar Boy was a truly living human.
Xiao Shuxiang said, "Ah ... So you like girls. I just heard that there was someone who dared to put his hand on your body, so I can't help but think of ambiguous things."
"Geez, I am still very sane to be able to distinguish which is a muscular flat chest and which one is with a soft fat. But ... If it was you, maybe I could consider it."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang froze, his eyes darkened and his facial expression instantly made the man beside him laugh.
"I'm kidding, just kidding. You're being serious, man,"
"Senior..! The way you joke is not funny at all," Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest, he shook his head.
The man with naturally green eyes smiled and then said, "Alright. Now what's your plan? I can indeed use my power in this place, but as I said as well-I can't get you out,"
Xiao Shuxiang took a slow breath, his facial features looking solemn. "I know that, I just thought ... Can Senior take me to the center of this Dream Landscape? Or at least Senior knows the existence of the Dream Devil in this place,"
"What are you going to do?"
"Senior, anyhow ... The Dream Devil is a living creature, right?"
"Mn, right. But why are you asking?"
"Every living creature must have a heart and blood. No, I just need blood to be able to make him powerless."
The naturally green-eyed man looked at the subject beside him and saw how this young man had a different aura than before.
Xiao Shuxiang said, "I have never faced directly with the figure of the Dream Devil. He just showed me his strength and seemed to be hiding his identity. It made me feel very cautious and have a feeling that he was very strong,"
Xiao Shuxiang looked at the figure beside him and again said, "But if I can deal with him like this, meet a look like I did to you... Then maybe I can still turn that 1% success into higher."
"You're very confident. Do you have the ability to do that?"
Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "Senior. I'm sure you know. The proof is that you even want my help to defeat 'Devil',"
"Bec ... You're so smart." the man with natural green eyes clucked and shook his head slowly. He then took Xiao Shuxiang to the border where it was one of the things that needed to be done to get to the center of the Dream Landscape.
"Shuxiang, tell me. What's your strongest technique?"
"Blood Control,"
"Well, you're a monster. So you can control any creature that has blood in its body, can you?"
"Not really, that's not how it works."
"Hey, hey. Do you remember that you can't use spiritual energy? So how can you use your technique?"
".............." Xiao Shuxiang stared at the figure before him and his lips were interested in forming a smirk. "About how yeah ..."
"You ... Don't tell me you-"
"Come, Senior. Time to show your strength,"
"Shuxiang, my hand should not be drawn. Hey..!"
Despite the protest, but the green-eyed man who was the ancestor of the Mad Beggar Boy did not resist as his hand was held and pulled by Xiao Shuxiang.
Even in just a short period of time, there was no word of 'foreign' between the two. Xiao Shuxiang could instantly get familiar with the mysterious figure he had just met. Judging from any angle, the two people looked like good friends.
Xiao Shuxiang was like water, completely able to put himself in any condition and while dealing with anyone. The masculine and authoritative aura, as well as being the domineering figure of the mysterious man even disappeared just like that when faced with a figure like Xiao Shuxiang.
It felt, the Guardian of Ling Qing Zhu including Lan Guan Zhi's good friend had a special ability that not everyone had. Xiao Shuxiang was easily familiar with strangers and was able to make them his friends even before the day changed. He's an amazing young man.
