HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
336 - Resistance (2)

Xiao Shuxiang stood expressionlessly. But if you look carefully, the look in his eyes is like containing a sword blade that is ready to stab his opponent to death.

It was certain that he seemed to see his nemesis and was very itching to hit, but still trying hard to hold back.

"Shuxiang-" Lan Guan Zhi had been taken down earlier by her best friend and would only speak when something unexpected happened.

Surprisingly, the new Xiao Shuxiang would make a sound with a cold tone suddenly sneezed and made Elder Meng Hao Niang and his other companions, including Qiao Nuan gasp in shock.

Without feeling guilty, Xiao Shuxiang calmly rubbed his nose. His extremely unexpected behavior made Qiao Nuan blink several times.

The green-eyed man who was the ancestor of the Mad Beggar Boy himself also blinked. He even involuntarily muttered, "He's got an adorable sneezing sound."

"Ehem, where was it?" Xiao Shuxiang crossed his arms and then said without a tone, "Qiao Nuan. I'll just go straight. Hand over what you've taken and get us out of here, then I won't give you an excruciating death."

"Master Xiao-"

"Wang Zhao, you don't laugh."

"Nope-no. I did not laugh," Wang Zhao pursed his lips. He stood so ready, as if he had just been rebuked by his teacher.

On the other hand, Elder Meng Hao Niang appeared to be grunting softly and was still staring towards Xiao Shuxiang. He really did not expect that just by sneezing this young man, the surrounding conditions became less tense.

Xiao Shuxiang in his heart was actually cursing himself. He shook his head and sighed, "Aiya. Xiao Shuxiang, why can't you look so full of stuff for a moment? That situation was already very good. Aiii... Embarrassing,"

Qiao Nuan watched the young man who had previously provoked his emotions. Because of hearing the effective sneezing sound, he forgot to get angry until listening to this person's threat was not at all scary for him.

Qiao Nuan exhaled and then waved his hair slowly. He crossed his arms and said, "Xiao Shuxiang. You're leaving me at a loss for words. What the hell did you want? Marry me?"

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang flinched, "I said get us out of here. Who asked you to marry?"

"So no?"

"No. Of course not, you suck."

Lan Guan Zhi noticed Qiao Nuan's darkened expression. The woman growled and her eyes suddenly flashed red.

Qiao Nuan said coldly, "You don't want to marry me because of this face of mine, right? The face that had scarred never disappeared. You don't like this face, do you?"

Xiao Shuxiang frowned and said. "Beautiful girl, how can the marks on your face disappear if you keep scratching it until it bleeds like that. Stop,"

"Xiao Shuxiang!" Qiao exclaimed, "You made this happen. Your fault. So you're responsible,"

"What's? Me? You're not sane? You hurt your face yourself, why am I responsible?"

"This ..." The natural green-eyed man looked astonished. He watched Xiao Shuxiang and Qiao Nuan in turn. These two men quarreled like old acquaintances who met to hold them accountable.

"What the fuck?" The natural green-eyed man asked, "Shuxiang. What's the connection between you and him?"

Xiao Shuxiang calmly replied, "I've had a lot of strange dreams before and it was him. He made me have nightmares, there was no connection between us. But he seems to be obsessed with me,"

"No. Absolutely not!" Qiao Nuan denied. He said, "I'm just a little interested in you, that's all"

"Miss," Xiao Shuxiang interrupted. "If you're interested in a guy, you shouldn't give him nightmares or get him into a lot of trouble. Because of you, I hurt a lot of people I don't want at all. You even made me have to be bothered with this shitty seal,"

"Hmphs. When I like someone, then that person has to experience cruel bullying. But what you're doing is really pissing me off,"

Xiao Shuxiang was stunned for a while before sighing. He said, "If you like someone, just tell them right away. Why be intimidated? I'm not a man who would refuse if a woman proposed to me,"

Lan Guan Zhi looked at his good friend and shook his head. Xiao Shuxiang's shameless manner had already surpassed the limits of human reasonableness.

Qiao Nuan tonelessly said, "So if I propose to you, will you accept it straight away?"

"No," Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously replied and made the woman before him flinch. He calmly said, "You're late. I'm married, so I can't get married anymore."

"Xiao Shuxiang..!" Qiao Nuan exclaimed, "How dare you play me! Who's that woman, tell me who she is..!"

"Hey, wait a minute!" the green-eyed man who was the ancestor of the Mad Beggar Boy interrupted, "What is your relationship really? Xiao Shuxiang, is that dream demon woman your lover?"

"Where possible," Xiao Shuxiang unhesitatingly replied, "He just came over and messed up my peaceful days with the White Cat. He's a real bitch,"

"What?" Qiao Nuan snorted, "Maybe you've forgotten. My task is to test the warriors who have already reached a certain level of cultivation and will rise to a higher level. A wobbly heart will make them make mistakes and step into the path of the devil, but you-you yourself enjoy it so much. You killed everyone you knew in the landscape of my dreams as if you were venting your anger on them. Because of you.."

Qiao Nuan rubbed the wound on his cheek which and again scratched it hard to bleed. He snarled, "No. Can't, can't be like this. I don't accept. I can't accept you doing that to me!"

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang and the others were shocked. The ground they were incandescent shook and then suffered a huge crack. Wang Zhao immediately pulled Elder Meng Hao Niang to avoid the crack of the ground.

"A-Yuan," Xiao Shuxiang pulled Lan Guan Zhi along. His actions that were so attentive to the boy were seen by Qiao Nuan and made the woman think of something else.

"A-Yuan, are you okay?" Xiao Shuxiang checked his good friend's condition and was grateful that Lan Guan Zhi's height did not shrink as before.

Lan Guan Zhi himself only nodded slowly in response. He then paid attention to Qiao Nuan and asked his good friend to always be careful.

Wang Zhao snapped, "Qiao Nuan! Stop whatever you want to do. This is all not true. You've gone the wrong way!"

"What do you mean, Wang Zhao?" Qiao Nuan said coldly, "I didn't hurt you guys, at least it hasn't reached the stage where you lost one part of your body. But ..."

Qiao Nuan hung up his words and said, "I'm interested in the child that Xiao Shuxiang brought along. What is he ... Is son?"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, as did Lan Guan Zhi. The two stared at each other before looking back at Qiao Nuan. The woman in front of them showed a very dislike expression.

The natural green-eyed man who heard Qiao Nuan's words just now seemed to frown. He thought of something and gasped when he realized it.

"Shuxiang, do you hear me?"

"You listen to me, Shuxiang. I think even though this woman has great abilities in her Dream Landscape, she cannot fully control who is trapped within it. The little evidence is, this woman doesn't know about the changes that are happening to your friend."

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he looked at Lan Guan Zhi and understood that there were some things within this Dream Landscape that Qiao Nuan could not control.

He said, "This boy is my son or not, it has nothing to do with you. All you have to know is that if you still don't want to give me that thing, then I'll kill you right now."

Qiao Nuan gasped, yet he suddenly started laughing. "You want to kill me? How-to? I'm not sure you can even scratch me,"

Xiao Shuxiang held onto Lan Guan Zhi's powerful sword. He had only taken a few steps when Elder Meng Hao Niang walked over and stopped, right in front of him.

Elder Meng Hao Niang opened his voice, he said. "Your fight with me is not over yet,"

Wang Zhao walked along and stood beside Elder Meng Hao Niang. He said softly without turning his head towards Xiao Shuxiang, "Master Xiao. You go, let this place me and Elder Meng take care of it."

"Hmph, since when have you been this brave?" Xiao Shuxiang snorted. He also held onto Wang Zhao's shoulder and then walked to the front of the young man.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "This noble one never hides behind the back of his disciple and also behind the back of a woman."

"Little Rascal, I'm sure you can't use spiritual energy in this place, so there's no need for a big mouth. Stay behind," Elder Meng Hao Niang still had to make some calculations with Qiao Nuan. He needed to resuscitate that dream demon woman.

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled softly and then said, "I know that. But you and Wang Zhao must have reached the limit. You guys have fought against him, so it's time to rest. I'm gonna finish this without moving a gun,"

?!

Wang Zhao gasped, this young man's words were extremely confident. On the other hand, Elder Meng Hao Niang seemed to be curious as to what this little delinquent would do.

Without a tone, Elder Meng Hao Niang said. "Go, but if you lose. Don't whine like a child,"

"Ha ha ha, I'm not young anymore to do it."

"Hmph, it's like you're hundreds of years old."

Xiao Shuxiang laughed again, he did not answer Elder Meng Hao Niang and walked forward. His eyes were directed at Qiao Nuan.

The natural green-eyed man who was with Xiao Shuxiang noticed what the young man was going to do. He waited for the worst possibility and saved this figure.

Qiao Nuan even without moving could already launch an attack. He did not know what Xiao Shuxiang would do, but whatever it was-the young man would not succeed.

!!!

"W-what happened?" Qiao Nuan was startled at not being able to organize his attacks. He moved his finger, but no attack shot towards Xiao Shuxiang let alone toward Wang Zhao.

Anxiety that appears on the face

the woman was in Xiao Shuxiang's eyes. He smiled and then said, "Qiao Nuan,"

!!!

Uhh!

Wang Zhao, Lan Guan Zhi, Elder Meng Hao Niang including the ancestor of the Mad Beggar Boy were shocked instead of playing when Xiao Shuxiang suddenly disappeared in front of them. The young man appeared before Qiao Nuan and gripped the woman's neck without warning.

Xiao Shuxiang continued his words. He said without a tone, "Did I ever say ... That even without spiritual energy, I can kill you?"

"You-you!" Qiao Nuan groaned, but he then started laughing. "It's unexpected that you have this kind of power, but it's still not enough - akh!"

"I don't have much patience, Miss. Books ... Give me that thing,"

"Never will! Akh!"

"Master Xiao, don't!!" Wang Zhao belatedly exclaimed. His eyes widened when he saw Qiao Nuan's body explode in Xiao Shuxiang's hands, somehow.

"Shuxiang" Lan Guan Zhi was also shocked. Elder Meng Hao Niang and the ancestor of the Mad Beggar Boy were even shocked. A change occurred in the sky and the atmosphere around them changed.

Xiao Shuxiang tightly clenched his two hands. He circulated his gaze and saw there was a fiery red mist in the sky. He also tonelessly said to Wang Zhao, "Qiao Nuan can't die that easily Wang Zhao, look."

!!

Wang Zhao gasped and immediately followed the direction of Xiao Shuxiang's gaze. He saw that fiery red fog forming the face of a terrifying creature.

Xiao Shuxiang held onto Lan Guan Zhi's sword and walked over. He tonelessly said, "Someone who studies the contents of the Sun Killing Book section will be difficult to finish off in just the usual way. Isn't that... Qiao Nuan?"

"You did it again." the voice echoed and seemed to come from that creepy-faced speeding.

A reverberating voice rang out, "You've made a mistake by playing me. You all won't be able to get out of this place..!"

Wang Zhao and the others became tense from the remark, but Xiao Shuxiang just grinned. The young man said, "We're not trapped, but you."

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang's body suddenly became a black fog and shot towards the red mist in the sky. The next sound was a loud thunderous sound as if the sky was about to break apart.

Elder Meng Hao Niang and Wang Zhao were clearly shocked, not even Lan Guan Zhi had expected the drastic changes to occur. Not before this ... Xiao Shuxiang simply cannot use spiritual energy?! Then how could the young man now face Qiao Nuan?!

"............." the man who was the ancestor of the Mad Beggar Boy crossed his arms and gave a calm expression. He exhaled before he began to narrow his eyes.

It was this natural green-eyed man who had already helped Xiao Shuxiang. He poured his spiritual energy on the young man, imitating what Wang Zhao did to Elder Meng Hao Niang.

"Xiao Shuxiang, I can't help to attack the Dream Devil. You have to face it yourself. This isn't my fight,"

"I understand. What Senior did was enough. From here, let me handle it."
