HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
355 - Sunscreen (3)

The figure Xiao Shuxiang met was a muscular man who looked to be 37 years old. She has short hair sticking out golden brown.

The clean-faced man wore an iron glove that was able to tear his opponent's body to the bone. He also wore a golden blue armor and in his hand was a staff called Ruyi.

This figure was none other than the ape-shaped Demonic Beast, as well as the ruler of the Black Emperor Mountain. He was one of Xiao Shuxiang's foster uncles in the Demon World.

Wu Yu placed his feet on the table and was seen eating peaches. He looked at a white-clothed young man in front of him intently and then started to open his voice.

Wu Yu said calmly, "I'm sure it's not a miscalculation, but it's been almost five minutes that you haven't spoken. Xiang'Er, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that the young man before him was not willing to talk made Wu Yu shake his head slowly. "You're not what you used to be, are you fighting with your wife?"

"Uncle..."

"Shuxiang, don't worry me. Whenever you have a serious problem, you'll come here. That look on your face can't hide anything."

Xiao Shuxiang watched the man in front of him and then sighed. He also put his feet up on the table and made Wu Yu flinch.

"Xiang'Er, you just say it. Who's been bothering you? Let your uncle handle this."

"Uncle, am I really beyond repair?" Xiao Shuxiang finally started talking and his remark made Wu Yu blink.

"Who told you that? It's rough,"

Xiao Shuxiang sighed heavily, his facial expression getting worse. He began to say slowly, "Uncle. Tell me, am I really a bad person? So evil that it can't be fixed?"

Wu Yu threw a peach that he had eaten a lot of and then said, "Why are you just thinking about that now? Didn't you never care about other people's opinions?"

"................. He's not someone else. He's my best friend and I guess .. I've let him down." Xiao Shuxiang slowly told her about what she was going through with her good friend.

Wu Yu had previously not paid much attention to Xiao Shuxiang's story. But after how long his reaction was clearly visible on his face.

Wu Yu noticed his adoptive nephew and then took a slow breath. He nudged Xiao Shuxiang's leg and then said, "What if you stay here?"

Xiao Shuxiang looked at the man before him and seemed to be astonished by Wu Yu's words just now. He also listened to his uncle speak.

Wu Yu said, "You can't seem to escape from brutally taking the lives of others. So what if you just stay here? In this place you are free to fight as you please. I'll even accompany you. There are many places that we can mess up, even if you want to make a fuss at Yan Xi Fan's residence. It just so happens that your uncle hasn't woken up from his hibernation yet, we can make his place fall apart."

"Uncle Wu..."

"Xiang 'Er. I was actually curious," Wu Yu rubbed his cheeks and said, "Why do you want to live so much among humans? In that world, people like you are considered monsters. They won't be able to accept you, so you better stay here. Forget about the human world and be yourself in this place."

Xiao Shuxiang was speechless, he looked up and saw the color of the sky so dark on it. There's nothing but a red moon up there. He lowered his legs and then looked at Wu Yu.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I can't do that."

"Why?" Wu Yu flinched, "You still want to stay in a place where you're not liked?"

"If I decide to stay here and then forget about my relationship with the world... They'll be in danger."

"Who cares, it's none of your business." Wu Yu said, "Xiang'Er. It's not your responsibility if the Human World is fucked-up"

"The Human World is a wall, Uncle." Xiao Shuxiang gave a serious expression. His words made Wu Yu frown.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "The Human World is a wall that must be protected. If the wall is broken, then the other world including where you live will be in danger."

Xiao Shuxiang talked about Qian Kun and the creatures from The Fallen Angel World that were part of his life. But of course he did not say it clearly to Wu Yu because after all there was a secret that could not be said.

The Human World is the main target of creatures from The Fallen Angel World. If they could rule over the Human World, then it would be easy for them to step into another world and make a fuss in this place.

"It's not just about me" Xiao Shuxiang said, "It's about the balance of the world that can't get past from its own pace. If I don't care, then it's tantamount to letting this place be in danger."

"Xiang'Er, let me ask you one thing. You're actually... I like humans, right? Even in spite of their treatment of you."

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he looked at Wu Yu as he felt strange with this remark of his adoptive uncle.

Wu Yu lowered his legs. His expression was serious as he picked up another peach and then ate it. He said, "A few days ago... I went around the border and subconsciously entered the forbidden ground. There's a place covered by the wind of death and you know, what did I find?"

Wu Yu said, "I saw a human civilization. The place was even like a huge city protected by deadly winds. Not even a single Demonic Beast could get close,"

Seeing Xiao Shuxiang staring at him made Wu Yu talk again. He said, "The humans in this place are livestock for Demonic Beasts. They're our food, of course talk or think-they can't do it. But in that forbidden land... The city inhabited by humans looks and its development is amazing."

Wu Yu said, "Over a hundred years ago... When you ask the cattle as toys... You didn't actually kill them, did you? You brought the cattle to the forbidden land and even taught them the basics of being human. Is that true?"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times, he looked at Wu Yu and started to recall a few things from his past part. He cleared his throat and picked up a peach on the table.

Wu Yu tonelessly said, "I always wonder... What you're planning is actually. Do you intend to make those humans oppose us and take over the world?"

"I'm going home, Uncle's talking weird."

!!

Wu Yu flinched as suddenly Xiao Shuxiang stood up and walked away just like that. He was so shocked that he was shocked. Wu Yu exclaimed, "You don't dodge, hey..! Xiang'Er come back here..!"

"I don't want to. Uncle Wu sucks!"

"Aahs... Basic delinquent." Wu Yu was unable to catch up because Xiao Shuxiang first entered into his Moving Mirror and disappeared without a trace.

Wu Yu ate the peaches in his hand and then said, "I'm sure he did. The child always makes problems that are difficult for others to guess. Obviously he can't lie, it's all on his face."

The Demon World was so vast and other than the territory of the three emperor mountains, there was a place called the Forbidden Land. One of its locations was shrouded in a deadly wind that continued to spin rapidly.

The wind was able to tear the body of a living creature down to its bones. It was difficult for Demonic Beasts to enter the place even though they could faintly see what the wind was covering.

In the darkness, a dot of water began to appear, solidify, and form a large mirror as tall as an adult. Someone came out from the mirror which was none other than Xiao Shuxiang.

The young man stood before the wind that kept spinning fiercely. When viewed from the front, there was nothing but the wind that carried a terrible feel with it, as if forbidding anyone to enter the place.

That wind speed was able to rip apart the body if it did not know the correct direction of this wind. Xiao Shuxiang himself walked as if he was already very familiar and knew the flow from this wind well.

There really is a human civilization in there. Xiao Shuxiang was even surprised to see that it had stood a big city with all its frenzy. As far as he could remember, this region used to be unspoiled forests and mountains, even as he remembered there were only a few ordinary small houses.

Xiao Shuxiang watched his surroundings. There are some traders who look, but the way they make transactions is not with silver or gold pieces, but using a barter system.

Xiao Shuxiang walked over to one of the merchant tables and noticed the transactions made by these people. The different thing he saw was the human clothes in this place using the leaves and roots of trees that had been processed in such a way as to form a texture like cloth, but still quite rough when touched.

Xiao Shuxiang who came in all-white clothes of course immediately stole the show. The loud screams of a person and the sound of things breaking out shocked it to create a commotion.

"You-you who..!!" a woman pointed at the young man before her. Fear was seen on his face and because of his actions, some people immediately took the pointed-tipped bamboo and cut it.

"Is he a Demonic Beast?!"

"Who are you! Say it!"

Xiao Shuxiang watched these people and breathed slowly. Seeing their response did not make him angry, but became somewhat pitying as they were still too afraid of strangers even after time had passed for so long.

Xiao Shuxiang began to open his voice, "I'm looking for the oldest building in this place. There's someone I want to see. He's Han Li, does anyone know him?"

!!!

The people around Xiao Shuxiang gasped, their response clearly proving that they knew who this foreign youth meant. All of them looked at each other before finally bringing Xiao Shuxiang to meet who the figure named Han Li was.

Due to Xiao Shuxiang's appearance and face that did not look like a villain, he was not too suspicious either. Moreover, Xiao Shuxiang did not refuse when both of his hands were tied up by wearing strong tree roots.

"How do you know about leader Han Li?" a big man asked. He watched this foreign youth closely.

"just coincidental. I cut his hair once,"

"What?" the big man blinked. The other people who heard it were jolted because of this young man's words.

A woman asked, "What's your name?"

"Shuxiang, please,"

"Where did you come from?"

"Western region,"

"Where is the western region?"

"............... Did Han Li not tell you anything?"

"What?"

Xiao Shuxiang was about to speak when he realized that he was already in front of a fairly large building. One of the men who brought him here entered the wooden building in front of him and it didn't take long until the man came with an old man.

Xiao Shuxiang even heard the sound of a conversation between the two people.

"We didn't treat him harshly because he was submissive, but just in case we tied his hands."

"Next time don't be like this,"

"I'm sorry, but she's wearing a weird outfit."

The old man nodded slowly. He who had just arrived outside had immediately set his sights on someone young man who was truly capable of stealing his attention.

The old man's eyes opened wide, he looked extremely shocked to see who was standing before him. His voice was shaking in shock.

"Master Xiao Shuxiang?!"

!!!

Everyone was shocked to hear the cry from the old man who was Leader Han Li. On the other hand Xiao Shuxiang was just acting ordinary and appeared to be smiling faintly.

"Quickly untie the bond. How can you treat my god savior like this."

"What?! So he is...!!"

Everyone showed a very shocked reaction. Xiao Shuxiang himself seemed to be snorting with this unusual title of an old man before him.

"We apologize..!!"

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang was startled as everyone around him instantly kowtowed. He was in shock, "What are you all doing? Stand up."

No one listened to Xiao Shuxiang, precisely these people continued to call him the God of Rescue. He was even at a loss for words and felt that coming here was a mistake.

Old Bangka in front of Xiao Shuxiang was also seen to be prostrating worship, but Xiao Shuxiang quickly glared at him until the old man gasped and undoed the intention.

Without saying anything, Xiao Shuxiang walked into the building as if this was his own home. Han Li then requested that everyone around him not prostrate again and began to make welcome preparations.

Those people rushed over, they even spread the news that the God of Rescue had already come and of course the news instantly became a scene.

Xiao Shuxiang who was walking followed by Han Li also seemed to shake his head. He turned around and looked at the old rascal as he said, "God of Rescue? You want to challenge the heavens by calling ordinary living beings gods? You want the sky to be mad at me?"

"Sorry, I'm too happy." Han Li smiled, "It was unexpected that Mr. Xiao had come here. It's been over a hundred years and you still look young."

"You yourself are wrinkled, but your behavior is still childish." Xiao Shuxiang said without tone and without warning directly hugged Han Li.

The old man was surprised. He actually wanted to hug Xiao Shuxiang the first time he saw this young man after such a long time, but he was worried because it was such a disrespectful act.

But who would have thought, it was precisely this young man who embraced her first. Han Li was of course very happy and returned the hug.
