Li Xiang the Immortal
3 - Determination

Li Xiang slowly opened his eyes. He nodded slowly, "Eh, is this the afterlife? But why not as I thought? This place is like.. cave?"

As Li Xiang looked to the side, he was surprised that Xiao Xing Fu was already there. He immediately changed his position to sit cross-legged. "You're back? So fast! Since when did you come back?" Her speech.

"Since you passed out here." Xiao Xing Fu said flatly. "I'm afraid that you won't wake up until sunset. If that happens, then my efforts to get the rabbit will be in vain. So I gave you 'artificial air' and it didn't take long for you to wake up, even if you had to spend a long time doing it."

Li Xiang looked surprised. He immediately touched his slightly swollen lips. "A-what...what does it mean to be artificial breath? Did he give me artificial breath and if he did then it was obvious why my lips were a bit swollen. I-I didn't expect to be kissed by a woman, even if she was a kid. I really did not expect.This little girl who looked rather innocent said such a thing without any burden at all. He didn't even feel ashamed after doing that to me!" His inner. His face began to blush. He looked at Xiao Xing Fu in disbelief.

"What does that fool really think?" Inner Xiao Xing Fu with eyes that looked at Li Xiang was strange. "I actually wanted to apologize for doing 'that' to her. But looking at her reaction it doesn't seem like a problem."

Flashback~

"It feels like if I do this to her it's inappropriate. But what can I do? I had to wake her before sunset anyway." Xiao Xing Fu.

Xiao Xing Fu who was sitting beside Li Xiang slightly lowered his head, closing in on Li Xiang. "I'm sorry, but maybe it's worth it to you."

After saying that, Xiao Xing Fu opened Li Xiang's tightly gritted mouth. He also put the hot water he cooked earlier into Li Xiang's mouth with the help of a stirring spoon made of half a headstone.

"Because your wish is to die, so I'll help you. Maybe with this hot water you could die." Xiao Xing Fu said flatly. "But you better not just die. Especially without teaching me cultivation. If one spoon isn't enough, then I'm gonna put all the hot water I'm cooking in your mouth."

Some of the hot water that Xiao Xing Fu put spilled onto Li Xiang's face. Even his lips that were exposed to hot water instantly swelled up slightly.

End~ Flashback

"Usually skin that is exposed to hot water will blister. But his lips that were hit by the hot water had become swollen. Not blister. Even his face that was doused in hot water did not blister." Inner Xiao Xing Fu.

"It turns out you're not as innocent as you look!" Said Li Xiang with a face that was still slightly red. It covers his mouth.

"Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand." Xiao Xing Fu said in surprise. "Why is his face a little red? Is this the result of giving him hot water?"

"Huh! Why do you keep expressing yourself like that, even though you kissed me!" Li Xiang looked annoyed.

Xiao Xing Fu tilted his head and looked at Li Xiang strangely, "Who would want to kiss a madman like you? I just don't want to!"

Xiao Xing Fu's words were extremely sharp. It even felt like a stab to the person he was referring to, "You're so mean to say such a thing to your own teacher. You are heartless!" Li Xiang snorted in annoyance. He lowered his hand from his face.

"If you didn't kiss me, then what did you do?" Said Li Xiang still with an annoyed look.

Xiao Xing Fu looked the other way, as if avoiding the gaze from Li Xiang. "I poured hot water into your mouth." Her speech.

"W-what? What the hell are you saying? Say it again!" Li Xiang looked in disbelief when he heard Xiao Xing Fu's remark.

"I put hot water in your mouth. The hot steam coming out of the water is like air to me. At that time my parents said, the first thing to do to help people who stop breathing is to give artificial air. As I recall. So I'm making artificial air out of hot water vapor." Xiao Xing Fu said with a cry.

Li Xiang immediately stood up from his sitting position. He immediately pulled Xiao Xing Fu's ear, "A-aduuhh.. Ouch.. Sshh.. Get your hands off my ears!" Xiao Xing Fu looked in pain.

Li Xiang did not care about the ringing Xiao Xing Fu. He kept pulling the boy's ear, "Call you? Gosh... didn't your parents say artificial air wrong?! If I were a normal human, I would probably die with a burn in my mouth! It's not like that person will realize, but you're gonna make him sleep forever!"

Li Xiang finally let go of the pull of his hand from Xiao Xing Fu's ear. He grunted annoyed. "You're too much of a teacher yourself! Don't you feel sorry for me? You put hot water in my mouth, what if my mouth gets a bad burn?"

Xiao Xing Fu puffed his cheeks while stroking his ears, "Leave it alone. If your mouth can't be used, you won't be fussy!" He threw a pissed face.

"The bottom of the dwarf is heartless. Little one has become chili!" Li Xiang flicked his finger on Xiao Xing Fu's forehead, making the child's head slightly jerk back.

Xiao Xing Fu immediately stood before Li Xiang, "This me is still in its infancy! Don't call me a dwarf!"

"Heh, look. Even your height is only up to my stomach." Li Xing smacked his chest as he looked at Xiao Xing Fu lightly.

"It's not the stomach! My height is not that small!" Prostes Xiao Xing Fu's. He kicked Li Xiang's leg in annoyance.

"A-ooh.ooh..the pain.." Li Xiang looked as if in pain. He smiled cynically, "You want me to say that, dwarf?"

Xiao Xing Fu's face flushed red in annoyance. "I told you already! Don't call me a dwarf!" He was intending to hit Li Xiang's stomach. However, his hand was immediately grabbed by Li Xiang easily.

"Come, come.. Wanna hit me? Let's hit my face. Not until? Heh, I told you you were a dwarf. So you won't be able to hit me in the face." Li Xiang slightly lowered his body down to align his height with Xiao Xing Fu. He still smiled at the boy.

Xiao Xing Fu's face grew red with annoyance. He quickly slapped Li Xiang's cheek using one hand.

Li Xiang instantly removed his grip from Xiao Xing Fu's hand. He stroked her slightly red cheek, "His pain.. Although your hand is small, but your slap is quite painful, sshhh..."

Xiao Xing Fu folded both his hands on his chest. He threw a pissed-off face, "Do you want me to slap again? I will gladly do it a hundred times!"

"Heee. You just slapped me and you're not apologizing. You even said such words to me. You're so rude. When you gave me bread and silver coins back then, you were so sweet. Your attitude is good too. Why did it change? Even when you first lived with me back then you were still being nice." Li Xiang pouted as he stroked his cheeks which slowly returned to normal. His lips were no longer swollen at this time.

"Hmph, why? No need to set myself up." Ketus Xiao Xing Fu's. "I caught the rabbit you asked for before sunset. So you have to keep your word."

Li Xiang stopped stroking his cheeks. He looked up, as if avoiding Xiao Xing Fu's gaze, "Huh? I don't get it. My word? What are you talking about? What did I say?" He said with a stupid expression.

"Don't pretend you don't know! You said you'd teach me how to cultivate if I could catch that rabbit monster before sundown!" Xiao Xing Fu pointed at the corpse of the rabbit that was close to the urn.

"Is that so? I ever tell you that?" Li Xiang looked at Xiao Xing Fu.

"Don't forget that promise! You promised and now I've got the rabbit before sundown!"

Li Xiang sighed. He knelt before Xiao Xing Fu and immediately pulled the palms of the boy. He stroked both of his palms. "If you've started to get to know the world of cultivators, then you'll find it hard to come back." He said in a somewhat sad tone.

"Huh? Whatchu mean?" Xiao Xing Fu raised next to his brows, puzzled.

"Your soft, white hands will be corroded. I don't want a sweet kid like you to turn into a killer." Li Xiang said.

Xiao Xing Fu digested Li Xiang's words for a moment. After understanding, he looked the other way, "My goal is to stay alive because I want to repay the actions of 'that person'. I want to kill him. So it's useless if you say something like that to me. I want to be strong to kill him." He looked back at Li Xiang with determination.
