Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
The Unknown Enemy

However Yi Hua realized that they could not serve Yue Yan for so long. This made Yi Hua pull the long wood she used to press against Yue Yan's neck. And, since Yi Hua let go, Yue Yan intended to hit Yi Hua again.

As usual ... Yue Yan was actually not very good at physical combat. Just one look at Yi Hua knowing that Shen Qibo really did not want to fight Yue Yan. Even against Yi Hua alone Yue Yan was already like being chased by a cow.

Yue Yan's movements were so rough and rash that Yi Hua could hear the sound of his approaching steps. Not to mention with the loud sound of Yue Yan breathing when exerting all the strength of his hand. In a fight, you need to know how to catch your breath. Although this is so, but in the past when in Cloud Training, he had learned about this a little. Even without any help from Xiao, Yi Hua knew Yue Yan would attack.

SLAPS!

Huan Ran refused to look at Yi Hua's cruelty. The man was more focused on cleaning up the dust stuck on Liu Xingsheng's cheek, as well as fixing the Left Prime Minister's face cover. Just like Yi Hua, Huan Ran also frequently checked Liu Xingsheng's breath.

If his breathing goes away suddenly it will be a not funny experience at all.

"You know ... I'm so busy I can't play with you. Be a good boy, and live quietly with your snakes" Yi Hua advised as the truest man in life.

Yue Yan intended to rise up, "Yi Hua, YOU! Oye! I thought you were dead because you couldn't get out of the Valley of Dust!" yue Yan snorted in annoyance.

However Yi Hua gently pressed Yue Yan's head with his wood. Even so softly, Yue Yan was almost lying on the surface of the dust. Xiao even recited religious poems only to have Yi Hua come to his senses. Because, over time Yi Hua can be cruel beyond Hua Yifeng.

Well, if Hua Yifeng wasn't cruel. That guy is so cruel. Sometimes without talking, some corpses were lying around.

"You think an intelligent and talented person like me can be fooled by this Valley of Dust," explained Yi Hua who was exhausted himself.

Yue Yan almost shouted out from a slumber. "If it wasn't for the tall man you were with, maybe you'd already be dead, Yi Hua!"

The one Yue Yan meant was of course An. Or, more precisely Hua Yifeng. Yi Hua began to wonder if Hua Yifeng and Shen Qibo actually knew each other?

It's like they're in one kind. They were both great disasters of the Li Kingdom.

It is like they have one category in common, namely the enemy of the Li Kingdom. However Yi Hua remembered the explanation from Hua Yifeng as he disguised himself as An first. He said, the Great Catastrophe of Li Kingdom did not intersect with each other or interfere with each other's affairs. They live in their own territory.

The problem was that Yi Hua was completely oppressing herself. Though he came up with a bandit-like style, and wanted to disturb anyone who came to the Dust Valley. To deceive and frighten them, until they are lost in the Valley of Dust. Then, die from lack of food and thirst.

That was what made the rumors spread in the Li Kingdom about 'something' in the Valley of Dust.

Those, who did not know about Shen Qibo's death, always attributed the disappearance of the people in the Dust Valley as a form of murder committed by Shen Qibo. They said that Shen Qibo took the people astray in the Valley of Dust, and killed them mercilessly. The identity of Shen Qibo has always been associated with the one-night massacre in the Valley of Dust.

Unfortunately, ... That's not true.

Since the beginning of the Dust Valley structure is different. The Valley of Dust was between the mountains of rocks. All the dust in it was gathered. Not to mention the amount of dust that rises in the air so much and can affect vision. Even without being killed, people would indeed get lost in the Valley of Dust.

Yi Hua sighed because Yue Yan was still as ridiculous as ever. Somehow Yue Yan could never think of all the possibilities. Even until Shen Qibo's death first, Yue Yan still did not understand why Shen Qibo had not killed him. Perhaps deep in Yue Yan heart he wanted to forgive Shen Qibo, but all the trauma of the massacre that Shen Qibo had committed back then was still imprinted.

Although no one knows that Shen Qibo has a reason for it all. He did so even to protect the Li Kingdom. He was ordered to kill the inhabitants of the Valley of Dust so that there would be no rebellion. It was all by order of the Kingdom, but it was also the kingdom that designated Shen Qibo as a fugitive.

That's so sad to remember.

At the time of the massacre, the Li Kingdom was still only 'awakening' after its destruction. The policy was still chaotic, and the control of royal power was still spontaneously regulated. Like without a High Court and so on. Until now Yi Hua did not know who gave the order for the massacre.

Was it really Li Shen who gave the order?

Yi Hua suddenly could not think well of all this.

Back again at Yue Yan who was shrouded by his snakes. Perhaps this snake felt sad because Yi Hua hit its owner. But this snake also did not dare to fight Yi Hua who was like a possessed cow.

"When Yue Yan came to unsettle and terrorize anyone who entered the Valley of Dust, but who would have thought that the villain was you" Xiao's criticism was always on target.

SRAT!

Huan Ran's gaze headed towards Liu Xingsheng's body movements. Previously Liu Xingsheng had only walked like a puppet. However, now Liu Xingsheng seemed to take his breath in rather deeply. Liu Xingsheng's shoulders were slightly up from usual.

If others might not notice it, but Huan Ran's eyes were meticulous.

"Xingsheng," Huan Ran called slowly. Just to draw back the consciousness from Liu Xingsheng.

This made Yi Hua look distorted at Liu Xingsheng. And, as a result of that transition, Yue Yan attempted to escape. However Yi Hua's hand swiftly pulled the clothes of the back of Yue Yan. Yi Hua carried Yue Yan like she was carrying a kitten. Dragging him to approach towards Liu Xingsheng and Huan Ran. Although Yue Yan tried to rebel though.

"Hey ... Why don't these snakes dare to attack you, Yi Hua? Does your body contain poison so that the snake doesn't dare to bite you?!" asked Yue Yan.

Yi Hua paid no attention to what Yue Yan said. He actually felt that these snakes were following Yue Yan's feelings. If Yue Yan had a grudge within him, then this snake would be truly cruel.

But look at this snake with no intention of attacking Yi Hua. That meant that Yue Yan did not want to attack Yi Hua either. It was just that Yue Yan's mouth was indeed used to keeping things worse than good. So that guy won't say a good thing.

Yi Hua noticed Huan Ran who seemed to be frowning. "What's up, Prime Minister Huan?"

Hearing Yi Hua's call, Yue Yan stared intently at Huan Ran. "Prime Minister said you?!"

Be present. Yi Hua forgot that Yue Yan also hated the royal people.

Huan Ran paid no heed to what Yue Yan said. The man was more focused on examining Liu Xingsheng. Unfortunately, Liu Xingsheng's reaction was only fleeting. Now the man is just as silent as before.

Huan Ran pulled Liu Xingsheng's cold hand.

"Did something happen to Liu Xingsheng? His body was cold as water," Huan Ran asked inexplicably.

This is unnatural.

At present the air in the Dust Valley is very hot. Not to mention the capacity of the dust that makes dry. Even Yi Hua could feel his skin that felt thick and hot as a result of the accumulation of dust. So that Liu Xingsheng's skin, even if it was as healthy as anything, would still not be as cold and moist as fish skin.

"Xiao, can you look inside yourself, Liu Xingsheng?" yi Hua asked who was worried. Yi Hua deliberately touched Liu Xingsheng's chest surface so that Xiao could detect the man's state.

What if their time is up? They could not find Liu Xingsheng's soul so quickly. And, ...

Xiao immediately replied. "Don't get used to bad thoughts, HuaHua. He's either surprised or something's affecting him in this place."

Yi Hua loosened his gaze around.

"Don't today look more foggy than ever?" yi Hua asked who remembered that the turmoil of the Dust Valley was reduced due to Shen Qibo's sacrifice.

Yue Yan was also aware of that. "These few days are actually somewhat reduced. But today it is more foggy. Is it possible because of the arrival of Yi Hua who brought bad energy?" asked Yue Yan, who somehow meant just insinuating or what.

Luckily Yi Hua was resilient and used to enter the left ear out, and out into all directions. If this kind of humiliation could weaken him, then he could not survive to become Yi Hua who became the enemy of a million people. Even the Consorts of King Li Shen often looked at Yi Hua cynically, except for Consort Qian, whereas the 'this' Yi Hua did not try to attract the attention of the King.

It is hard to be famous.

"If it's famous on a bad track like you, then it's better for humans to be ordinary, '" Xiao commented briefly.

"The dust should be reduced here little by little every day," Yi Hua explained without caring about the honesty of Xiao who always accompanied his life.

Yue Yan who incidentally was a permanent resident of the Dust Valley was of course aware of that. However, he did not expect that Yi Hua would find out. Because, Yi Hua was not constantly in this place. Then, how could this noisy fortuneteller know?

Then, Yi Hua continued. "The Blind Rapporteur, Master Shen drew all that bad energy into him. Well, exactly before Mr. Shen disappeared."

This of course made Yue Yan look at Yi Hua in disbelief. "Don't say nonsense, Yi Hua."

In fact what Yi Hua said was true. With his strength Shen Qibo resisted the bad energy surge from the Dust Valley. Due to the sheer number of grudges and deaths, all of that left the Dust Valley harboring many curses and fury. So as to temper the curse of the dead man, Shen Qibo absorbed all the bad energy.

Wasn't that why Shen Qibo became a demon?

Unfortunately, no one understood the man. The world had become blind to him, so Shen Qibo had also chosen to be blind to the world.

Huan Ran watched his surroundings closely. "Whatever it is talk about later. Looks like something's not right here."

Thas right.

CRRTTT ...

"What's wrong?!"

The commotion emerged from Yue Yan who was staring in disbelief at his snakes. They squirm like drought worms. Shortly after, Huan Ran suddenly drew his sword to stand by.

"There's someone here!" huan Ran said in a somewhat weak tone. Like whispering.

Yi Hua pulled out her talisman paper, but Huan Ran shook his head.

"We can't fight it like this. You want that guy to know where we are?" huan Ran said with a threat in it.

It's actually true.

"This is not someone. It's a demon with great power" Xiao reminded.

Yi Hua involuntarily spoke loudly. "How come? What is ..." Yi Hua immediately covered his own mouth as he almost called out the name Hua Yifeng.

Was Hua Yifeng in the Dust Valley as well?

But ... Xiao was still active in Yi Hua's ears. If it was Hua Yifeng, then Xiao would have disappeared his existence.

Huan Ran looked at Yi Hua not understanding. "Why can't you stop talking, fortuneteller Yi? You'll make that chirping sound later!"

Safer than anything, they have to get out of here.

However, Xiao suddenly said that his system was interrupted by something. "I can't see the way anymore, HuaHua. The air and energy around was completely made chaotic."

So, this is so serious?

Yi Hua walked randomly while forcing Yue Yan to follow him. However, it was as if they continued to run non-stop. So Yi Hua stuck his wood on the surface of the sand to give a sign. Then they walked again.

And, finally they only found the wood again.

In other words, they kept spinning in the same place..

"It's dangerous. The amount of sand is increasing" said Yi Hua, who saw the wood he had originally set high, but now sank in half.

They're locked up here.

***

Yue Yan intended to escape secretly. Thanks to Xiao, Yi Hua found out about it and immediately pulled the back of Yue Yan's clothes again. "Show me the way out of this round of dust."

This is all he can do. Yue Yan was a person who was used to it here. He was sure that Yue Yan could take them out of this dust pit slowly.

But Yue Yan was definitely not easy to work with. "Don't I ever say that you might die inside the Valley of Dust?!"

This s*alan!

Yue Yan was more focused on gathering his snakes inside the clothes. Just so that these snakes would not be exposed to the strange magic that suddenly made the Dust Valley become chaotic.

Yi Hua noticed that, and pulled Yue Yan's arm. "I will try to treat these snakes. Don't you see your friends suffer?"

"They were just overheating," denied Yue Yan who was trying to pull his sleeves.

However Yi Hua was even stronger than Yue Yan. He clasped Yue Yan's arm firmly. "You don't see the snake's skin peeling?"

"It's weird, Yi Hua? Snakes often change their skin!" yue Yan clashed tightly.

The problem isn't like that?

Yi Hua clearly saw this snake exfoliating its flesh. Not skin. Like this snake has been soaked by hot water.

A SHOCK!

Just now Yi Hua said like that, suddenly a thin and long boneship fell from within the clothes of Yue Yan. This made Yue Yan stare in disbelief. He shook off his outer clothes to release the snakes back.

ICT!

ICT!

What fell to the ground was not a snake or snake skin. What fell there were the bones of the snake, which had even dried up. Like he's been dead for a few months. Though Yue Yan had just seen them still in form.

Some were still seen alive, with large wounds on the snake's body. As Yi Hua said, their skin and flesh were indeed flaking. Keep peeling until only the bones remain.

"HuaHua, that's the curse of the White Skull," Xiao suddenly said.

Hey, are you kidding me?! How could the ruler of the southern sea appear on land? I thought Bao Jiazhen was a half-fish man!

However, this feature already indicates the existence of the curse of the White Skull. Where if Bao Jiazhen cursed, then what he cursed would peel his flesh and blood to dry bones. However, why did this sudden Bao Jiazhen take a walk in the Dust Valley?!

Yue Yan looked trembling. Who would not fear one of these Five Catastrophes of the Li Kingdom?

Plus ... No one has really seen Bao Jiazhen. It's very dangerous because they don't know what they're dealing with.

"I'll find a way out. But save these snakes first," Yue Yan said quickly.

But what Yi Hua promised was uncertainty. Because, ...

"HuaHua, you can't use a demon furnace to power these snakes! The risk is too great! This snake was not a Phoenix Tree that actually possessed power. This was an ordinary snake that was obedient to humans," Xiao snapped suddenly. It was not usual for Xiao to shout so loudly.

But, ...

To Yue Yan these snakes were his friends. Plus they needed the help of Yue Yan to get out of the Dust Valley. If the one who came was really Bao Jiazhen, then it would be tantamount to dying. The most important thing is to find a way to get out of this place.

In essence, using his strength or not counting was always a big risk.

Also, how to make this demon furnace work?

Trust me Yi Hua also did not know how to use the demon furnace. As Yi Hua recalled, Hua Yifeng only used touch to share power. So did Yi Hua who touched the Phoenix Tree at that time.

Yi Hua's hand gently rubbed a snake that was in Yue Yan's hand. The snake was in a lot of pain due to its flaking flesh. If the power of the demon furnace could save the snakes, would that mean Liu Xingsheng as well ...

Xiao exclaimed furiously. "What are you thinking, HuaHua? You think you're a hero?! Aren't you Yi Hua's Diviner?"

In that panic, suddenly someone grabbed the agonized snake from Yue Yan's hand. This makes their attention shifted to the owner of the hand. And, the man's calm face as well as his calm manner of being made Yi Hua remember someone.

Yi Hua originally thought that the one who came was Hua Yifeng.

Did I just get disappointed? How funny!

"Let's go." The man's speech ended with a swarm of white papers being flown in the air.

Clearly the paper was not like the weak Yi Hua paper. It was a paper that could even fight and become various creatures that looked like real. Its durability was longer, and Yi Hua knew who it belonged to.

It was Ling Xiao. The people they're looking for.

The paper seemed to rise up like tree trunks and slowly turned into white birds. They seemed to fly high into the air, and ...

PYAAR ...

The birds hit the glass in the air. It seemed like there was indeed someone who had put up an invisible barrier wall around the Dust Valley. That's what screwed Xiao up so he couldn't see any more directions. That was also why they always circled around in the same place.

"Follow me," said Ling Xiao who had walked first.

Yi Hua saw Huan Ran turn to him. Inevitably Yi Hua nodded his head. Whether they suspect it or not, they have no choice. After all, Ling Xiao was the person they were looking for.

Although the presence of this man was very sudden.
