Li Xiang the Immortal
7 - Reason

Currently, Xiao Xing Fu and Li Xiang were sitting under a tree near the lake. The current Xiao Xing Fu was already wearing new clothes, as Li Xiang gave it away.

"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?!" Said Li Xiang who was still a little shocked.

"Aren't you able to figure it out with just my name?! My name is a man, why do you consider me a woman?" Wonder Xiao Xing Fu. His long hair was a little wet from getting into the lake earlier.

"I thought your name was like a man. But I never thought if you were really a man. After all, why are you using hair ornaments like women?! Your face also looks ca-ekhem. when wearing hair ornaments. Everyone will consider you a girl!" Pissed Li Xiang.

Xiao Xing Fu snorted in annoyance, "I also did it because of the custom in my village. All boys must behave and look like girls until they turn 13 for a reason!"

Li Xiang looked sour-faced, "Decorating. You disappoint me. I'm very disappointed.."

Xiao Xing Fu raised next to his brows and looked astonished, "What do you mean? I don't think I did anything."

Li Xiang instantly gripped both shoulders of Xiao Xing Fu firmly. He looked upset, "I almost liked you! If only I didn't know it now.. huh.. what would the world say about me if they found out I liked men?! Oh, my God, I can't imagine it! You almost made me turn! Oh.hhhh..!" His head was immediately bowed in lethargy.

Xiao Xing Fu seemed to digest Li Xiang's words for a moment. After understanding what he meant, he was immediately stunned, "Which is right! How can you like me?!" He immediately stood up and kept his distance with Li Xiang.

"It's your fault! How do I know you're a man! Hmh!" Li Xiang threw away a face in annoyance.

"Why did this become my fault? Blame yourself!" Xiao Xing Fu snorted in annoyance.

"Well.." Li Xiang let out a long sigh. At the moment he is feeling less excited. "Then?"

Xiao Xing Fu tilted his head when he heard Li Xiang's vague remark, "Then? What's?"

"What is the reason? Why is the custom in your village so strange?!"

Xiao Xing Fu was silent for a while, "Hm.my parents once told me a story that was the reason why the customs in my village were like that. Decades ago, a woman from my village lost her son as they were about to leave the village through the woods. Day after day, the woman did not find her son. He was killed by a tiger in the forest.

In the forest near my village when there used to be wild animals. Even if not so much. A resident who was cutting down wood saw the skeleton of the woman. He concluded that the woman was his neighbor who was about to move, seeing the tear of the clothes he was wearing before leaving, was around his skeleton.

Since that incident, boys aged 7-12 years always disappeared at night in my village. They disappeared without a trace. But the next day, his family will find the child in front of the house without life.

This is the reason why for decades, we have customs like this. Since this custom, no boy in the age of 7-12 years has been kidnapped again."

"Hmmzzzz..."

Xiao Xing Fu immediately saw Li Xiang return. The teenager was asleep. His voice now looked annoyed, "Why are you sleeping?!" He immediately stepped on Li Xiang's hand and made the teenager wake up.

"Huh?! Whahuh? What's up?" Li Xiang looked to the right and left, as if in a daze.

Xiao Xing Fu gritted his teeth in annoyance, "Not to listen to my words, you're sleeping instead! You suck!" His shouting.

"Oahhhh! You're infuriating! Listen to me when I'm talking! I don't want to say it again!" Xiao Xing Fu folded his hands on his chest.

Li Xiang slowly stood up. He looked at Xiao Xing Fu lazily, "Huh.so the reason was because of the evil spirit that kidnapped the boy."

"You're not listening to me, but you know what's going on. Are you pretending to sleep, huh?"

"Hoam.." Li Xiang did not comment on Xiao Xing Fu's remark, "Wouldn't it be okay now if you don't do the custom in your village? After all, you're not in your village anymore."

"Stay still.." Xiao Xing Fu sighed, "I don't want that to happen to me. If I get caught by him, then I'll die."

"Then we will destroy the evil spirits in your village. I don't want you to look like a girl anymore." Ketus Li Xiang's.

Xiao Xing Fu lifted back his head that had been bowed, "How is it? That evil spirit has quite a great power. There used to be cultivators trying to exterminate him. But the cultivator instead died along with the child who became the bait to attract the evil spirit."

"We'll still do it. We'll do it tonight. For now, we're going to your village, because your village is a little far from here, we're leaving now. For bait.. hehehehe.."

Xiao Xing Fu straightened his saliva when he saw Li Xiang laughing strangely. "My blackmail is not good about this."

"..you'll be the bait." Li Xiang.

"I thought so." Inner Xiao Xing Fu, "But I don't want to! What if I get caught by him and die? Can you protect me?" He said in disbelief.

"Did? Who do you think I am? I am your teacher. I'm a very great man. You should be proud to be a student of such a great man as me." Li Xiang patted his chest with a proud smile.

"Your face is very unconvincing." Xiao Xing Fu said flatly. "How can I entrust my protection to someone like you? You're a suicide maniac. You never take yourself seriously. Can't do anything right, yeah, maybe except the food you're cooking."

"Your words are so piercing.." Said Li Xiang with a sad expression.

Xiao Xing Fu rolled his eyes lazily when he saw Li Xiang's expression, "I still don't want to be bait!"

"You have to be the bait. I can't choose another. After all, the prodigal son is only from your village. So it would be useless if I brought the child from somewhere else. You're all that's left."

"But.."

"You'll take care of. Just chill. Nothing bad will happen to you." Li Xiang smiled confidently.

Xiao Xing Fu still did not believe Li Xiang's words. But he has no other choice. He doesn't want to look like a girl anymore. "alright. I'll help by being bait."

"Well, what a good decision!"
