“Observe carefully, this is Jian Xiu Fraction’s battle tactic.” Ye Weishan’s gaze stayed fixed on the battlefield while saying in a low voice to Chen and Huang: “When they cultivate, they force the congregation type’s inner qi outward, the dispersion type’s outer qi inwards. Over time, naturally both styles can be used, so they’re attack style can be close or long range, variable, but in regards to strength, long distance is inferior to me, close range is inferior to Yixin…… Even though they’re better than me in close range combat, but their defensive strength isn’t enough so when they encounter a powerful close combat enemy they still emphasize dodging, on the other hand, if they encounter a long range opponent they’ll think of ways to get close.”
Jian Xiu is Li Sect’s cultivation style.
Chen Luonian listened to Ye Weishan’s narration as he watched the battle. Sure enough, Zhou and Guo were currently circling the monster. They seemed to be using inner qi and outer qisimultaneously to increase their speed, rapidly moving and surrounding, continuously sending out sword qi to attack from a distance and occasionally quickly closing in to give a sword slash before dodging back again, not engaging in direct battle with the opponent.
The monster blocked while madly pursuing. After several broken pursuits, the monster seemed to have sense that something wasn’t right and stopped pursuing everywhere and focused on chasing Guo Jia Nian. Like this, Guo Jia Nian had a more and more difficult time, after several close dodges the monster’s pike finally caught up to Guo Jia Nian’s sword, his body being hit with this huge amount of force was sent flying backwards.
And Lai Yixin had already rushed up. Once he got close, his spear flew forward, speedily stabbing towards the monster while continuously shifting. Though his shifting speed was not greater than that of the monster, and inferior to Zhou and Guo, but his spear strength was formidable so the opponent for a time also couldn’t enter his spear range. But also because his speed was the slowest, the monster’s attack focus shifted once again onto Lai Yixin allowing Zhou and Gou to finally release a breath of relief and to continue their approach and retreat strategy of attack.
Outside the area, Ye Weishan, seeing this couldn’t help but grumble. She pointed her dagger towards the field but didn’t dare to rashly make a move. After all, right now the three were really close to the monster and their movements were really fast, she was not coordinated with the two from the Li Sect so it was really hard to find the right timing to intervene.
At this time, since there was Lai Yixin to oppose the enemy, Zhou and Guo’s offensive started flowing again. The two rapidly attacked from close up and far away, continuously bothering the monster from the back. Like this they intertwined unceasingly. The monster had to, on one hand block Lai Yixin’s powerful spear, on the other hand had to deal with the two’s ceaseless attacks. As they continued to fight, he suddenly let out a strange roar and an amount of monster essence imploded from within his body out to protect his body. The short pike and long shield simultaneously slashed towards Lai Yixin, in the wake of that he unceasingly roared while commencing one strike after another at Lai Yixin irrationally.
Now he completely ignored Zhou and Gou’s long range outer qi attacks until they approached him to stab, then he would suddenly raise his shield and knocked them far out of the way.
And the two had no way of competing with the opponent’s strength, after a few times they didn’t dare to approach anymore. Though they were aware that their long range attacks were ineffective, but the two didn’t dare to stop and could only continue firing sword qi with all their power.
As for Lai Yixin who kept receiving the entire blunt of the monster’s attacks, he became paler and paler. He already knew that his strength was inferior to the opponent and was relying on his spear techniques to skillfully fight, shifting while dispersing the opponent’s strength, but no matter how much he shifted, he still had to protect the direction Ye Weishan and the rest were at. Naturally, he continuously bore quite an amount of pressure, but right now there was no other way so Lai Yixin could only clench his teeth and endure.
At this moment the sound of air being broken through sounded out, qi arrows shot out one after another and headed straight towards the monster, hitting the monster to the point that it cried out continuously in pain and had to lift the shield to protect its body.
It turned out that because Zhou and Guo had retreated, Ye Weishan no longer felt hesitation and immediately linked with the dagger, condensing outer qi and forming it into arrows which shot out and drew an arc in the air, bombarding the monster from all sides.
This qi arrow’s strength was not small, the tusk monster could not afford to ignore Ye Weishan’s attacks and could only ward them off with the shield. However, Ye Weishan’s strength and speed were great, with a right twist, a left point, the wrist only made a slight movement but the resulting shot of qixi attacked a completely different location. If the tusk monster blocked the east he couldn’t deal with the west, suddenly many cracks appeared on his body.
The monster cried out repeatedly in pain, immediately shifting his attention to Ye Weishan. He suddenly struck out fiercely, wanting to push Lai Yixin out of the way to get revenge on Ye Weishan’ but Lai Yixin also understood that if he moved out of the way, the moment the monster got close Ye Weishan was done for, so, unable to deflect the approaching force, he could only stand firm and receive the opponent’s attack.
Ye Weishan, upon discovering that even she could only cause small wounds, her expression turned more and more grave. She increased her attack speed while thinking ‘oh no’.
’oh no’ as in crap we’re doomed. I really wanted to just put crap but it really didn’t suit Weishan. In Chinese, the saying for like crap kinda translates to messy cake and it’s informal but not as slang as ‘crap’. And I didn’t want to put ‘oh shoot’ because of the unnecessary pun.
And though those soldiers took out firearms and aimed, they didn’t dare to shoot because Lai Yixin and the opponent were too close, it would be troublesome if he accidentally got injured. So everyone aimed and aimed, but didn’t dare to press the trigger.
As for Zhou and Guo, the two had already retreated with ugly expressions to the outer side. Right now, the monster was using his entire strength to attack Lai Yixin, the protective monster essence had already been attacked to sheds by Ye Weishan so the two people’s attacks were suddenly effective again. Immediately they coordinated with Ye Weishan, continuously shooting out sword qi.Even if they could only cause a small wound, it was still something nevertheless.
But Lai Yixin was not made of iron. Though the tusk monster was covered with wounds and had blood all over him, his power actually continued to increase until finally, under a massive attack, Lai Yixin staggered, his internal qixi flowed backwards and a mouthful of blood sprayed out as he flew backwards, flipping and tumbling onto the ground.
“Yixin!” Ye Weishan was greatly shocked and couldn’t help crying out.
“My God, isn’t it time to run!” As Chen Luonian saw the tusk monster charge over, his brain broke down again and his body automatically moved in front of Ye Weishan to shield her.
At this time, the soldiers didn’t wait for orders and all started firing, concentrating their attack on the monster but the monster didn’t pay attention at all and had already flashed in front of Chen Luonian, with a jab of the pike, thrusted into Chen Luonian’s chest with one swing tossed him to the shield, then moving the long shield, sliced towards Ye Weishan’s head.
Ye Weishan saw Chen Luonian suddenly move up in front of her, then suddenly fly upwards, following that a large sheet of blood sprayed down and the monster was already right in front of her. She was stupefied for a moment, then with a shriek, all the qixi enveloping her body rushed forth in one huge burst.
This direct shove actually pushed the monster back several meters. At the same time, the troops shot out rocket artillery and bullets, but this weapons seemed unable to penetrate the monster essence enveloping the monster. Though it continued to push him back, it seemed unable to cause any damage.
A period of time passed and the firing gradually stopped. Amidst the gunpowder the monster showed a delighted smile. An ominous glint flashed in his eyes and he started walking towards Ye Weishan again.
In that burst just now, Ye Weishan’s outer qi had been mostly depleted. Right now, all that was left was that her physique was a bit better than ordinary people and she didn’t have any attack power. Watching the monster approach, Ye Weishan’s heart turned cold, she could only close her eyes and wait for death.
Even though they had a bit of dispute, they couldn’t stand to the side and watch this girl die in front of them. Zhou Huai Yun and Guo Jia Nian from the Li Sect moved protectively in front of Ye Weishan at the same time, brandishing their swords like their lives depended on it.
But the monster didn’t care about those two at all and took a step forward. With a right stab of the pike and a left wave of the shield the two were instantly knocked flying back. Just as he was going to deal with the deathly pale faced Ye Weishan, a rock suddenly hit the monster’s head.
Chapter 7: My God! You Look so Familiar!
>>Part 2<<
Everyone was shocked, even the monster was a bit surprised. Turning around slowly, he actually saw that not far to the side, Chen Luonian whose stomach wound was still bleeding profusely was currently standing there glaring at him.
“Come ah! Huh, you damned toothy monster, why don’t you come!” As Chen Luonian yelled blood was still gushing out. He didn’t know where he got the strength as he picked up another rock and threw it over.
He’s not dead? Ye Weishan was extremely shocked. That pike just now clearly pierced through Chen Luonian’s stomach. Even if he was lucky and didn’t die, how could he still stand up?
Being hit twice by the rocks Chen Luonian threw, the monster was of course fine, not even tickled, but he couldn’t help but get angry. Turning away, he started walking towards Chen Luonian.
Damn, what did I just do? I’m seriously done for! Now Chen Luonian finally started to regret when suddenly, from the west side of the forest came the sound of gusting wind. A loud rumbling sound from far away approached. In the forest flying around randomly was a giant, snow white creature about ten or so meters tall. Like lightening, it rushed into the human crowd as if it were trampling through wood. Opening its jaws, it suddenly bit that tusked monster.
Huh? Chen Luonian was shocked, looking that that giant, snow-white creature…… my god! You look so familiar! Should I say hello?
The red eyes of the creature gave Chen Luonian an angry glare, then tapping the ground floated up. With a twist of the body, it flew away with the wind.
So she knows how to fly? Chen Luonian looked towards the sky in a daze. Suddenly he was attacked with a sharp pain from his stomach. His strength abruptly vanished and he couldn’t stand anymore. His whole body turned soft and he sat down on the floor.
“Luonian, you…… are you ok?” Huang Zongru who was hiding to the side trembling just now was the first to rush over.
“I don’t know” Chen Luonian was puzzled as well. Just now his stomach was clearly very painful, but right now it seemed a lot better.
“Let me see.” A young soldier seeming to be a medic carried the medicine box over and lifted Chen Luonian’s clothes to look at his stomach. Holding a large cotton wad to clean the bloodstain, he saw that the wound didn’t seem to be as deep as they thought.
This kind of wound doesn’t seem deep enough to go through the body, how could there be an injury on the back? ……he looked at it with suspicion, then also pried apart the clothes on Chen Luonian’s back. As expected, on his back was also a huge mass of blood, but the injury was far smaller than imagined. This soldier medic didn’t understand how this wound on the back was created and puzzled over it as he applied medicine, then used bandages around Chen Luonian to bind his wound. After this, then he allowed several soldier to lift Chen Luonian onto a stretcher and carry him to the truck.
Entering the truck, Chen Luonian discovered that Lai Yixin was also lying on a stretcher and just happened to be aligned side by side with him. Ye Weishan was currently worriedly squatting next to him. When she saw Chen Luonian, she was slightly surprised and stood up as she said: “You…… is your injury ok?”
It was obvious that she had just completely forgotten about him. Chen Luonian yelled at himself silently, couldn’t help but feel it was funny, and could only shake his head and say: “I’m fine. How are you and Yixin?”
“Yixin only fainted from overexertion and a bit of internal injuries. He’ll be fine after some rest.” Ye Weishan sat next to Chen Luonian and used her handkerchief to wipe the blood off of the corner of Chen Luonian’s mouth, saying with doubt: “If you weren’t heavily injured, why would you spit out blood? Did your lungs get injured?”
“My mouth was probably torn.” Chen Luonian said.
“Torn…… that…… that monster clearly threw you up……” Ye Weishan apparently became a bit dizzy at this moment. She held her head and said: “Could I have mistakened it?”
“Probably.”Chen Luonian said.
“That’s right……” Ye Weishan spoke a bit embarrassed: “Thank you for saving me just now.”
If you really were grateful, you wouldn’t have forgotten me! Although this was what Chen Luonian thought inside, on the surface he just shook his head and didn’t say anything.
“I’ve never encountered such a strong monster before…… I was too flustered and confused, otherwise it wouldn’t be like this.” Ye Weishan bit her lip: “Sorry, it’s all my fault.”
“The monster was strong, how can it be your fault?” Chen Luonian was baffled.
“This monster seemed unable to fly.” Ye Weishan said in a low voice: “I should have used outer qi to fly up in the air to attack. That way, Yixin wouldn’t have had to continuously battle the monster and I also wouldn’t have been in danger…… and wouldn’t have caused you harm.”
My god, so you can actually fly? Then that really was your fault! Chen Luonian rolled his eyes, wanting to complain but seeing Ye Weishan’s expression of sadness and self-blame, really felt it was not the right time to throw stones at someone who already fell down a well, so could only say: “Just remember next time.”
“En.” Ye Weishan took a deep breath and returned to her usual expression. She said: “If you’re uncomfortable, call me.”
“Got it.” Chen Luonian reached out and rubbed his stomach injury, feeling a bit uneasy.
“What’s wrong? Does it hurt?” Ye Weishan’s eyes were sharp. Seeing Chen Luonian rub his stomach with his brows knitted could not help asking.
“No.” In Luo Shen quickly said: “It’s nothing.”
In fact, the reason Chen Luonian actually frowned was because——for some reason, it didn’t really hurt anymore.
Chen Luonian was very clear on the fact that the monster’s pike did pierce through his stomach. That time blood mixed with his pulmonary alveolus and caused him to violently cough uncontrollably, and he almost could not breathe. But as time passed, the pain in his stomach constantly decreased. Just now when the soldier medic was examining him, the wound on his back had already shrunk…… If he took off his bandages now, his front wound would probably be smaller as well.
Does he still count as human? Chen Luonian thought about it and then suddenly said: “Weishan.”
“Yes?” Ye Weishan immediately approached.
“I want to ask a question …… after Bian Ti, would injuries heal faster?” Chen Luonian asked.
“Of course.” Ye Weishan nodded.
“How much faster?” Chen Luonian asked.
“Depends on the kind of injury.” Ye Weishan thought about it and said: “For tendons and muscles, acupuncture points, and blood and vital breath problems, qi can thread them together really fast. But injuries or bone fractures aren’t that fast…… For example, for normal bone fractures, it probably takes around three to five months to heal. For someone who has already gone throughBian Ti and can absorb qi, they still have to spend two, three weeks. Of course, if it is supplemented with some advanced medical treatment, for example surgery or ultrasound therapy, the like, it’ll be even faster.”
Two, three weeks?No, his recovery speed wasn’t that slow.
“Weishan……” Huang Zongru look ashamed as he said in a low voice:. “I……I’m sorry, I couldn’t help.”
“You still haven’t gone through Bian Ti, not being able to help is very normal. Don’t worry about it.” Ye Weishan said, shaking her head.
“That snow white, really beautiful large dog at the end. What was that?” Huang Zongru hesitated to ask: “Is it also a monster? Or is it related to Zong Sect?”
“It has nothing to do with us, it’s probably a monster.” Ye Weishan’s expression became serious as she said in a heavy voice: “But this type of monster shouldn’t appear at this sort of time, and why would it help us? That humanoid monster was completely powerless as that large dog monster bit it. If it was attacking us, I’m afraid we would’ve all been eaten.”
Calling her a large dog monster? She’ll get mad you know. Chen Luonian secretly stuck out his tongue.
“I’ve already gotten in touch. After getting off the mountain, I’ll bring Yixin to the Sect Leader and have the Sect Leader look at him, and I’ll ask about this as well.” Ye Weishan said: “A different ambulance will take Luonian to the hospital. Zongru, would you accompany him there?”
“Of course, of course.” Huang Zongru said immediately.
“I don’t need to go to the hospital.” Chen Luonian quickly said: “I’ll be fine if I just go home and change the dressing.”
“What nonsense are you saying?” Ye Weishan’s face was slightly severe as she said: “Your whole body is covered with blood, how can you not go to the hospital? We don’t know if that pike had poison on it, you have to go get a full body examination!”
Oh…… This beauty seems to be a bit excited. Arguing with her is too troublesome, right now silence is golden. Chen Luonian’s eyes gave a roll, then obediently closed his mouth.
The military vehicle exited the mountain road and right as it re-entered the northern road, there really were two ambulances waiting below. Everyone said goodbye to the still dazed soldiers, Ye Weishan gave a few more sentences of briefing and the four finally splitted up and entered the two ambulances. As for those youths from the Li Sect, it seems they were embarrassed to talk to them and had already slipped away at some unknown point.
After splitting into different vehicles, when ten or so minutes passed, Chen Luonian opened his mouth and said: “Zongru, is their vehicle still behind us?”
“They’re turned into a different road.” Huang Zongru looked outside, then turned back and asked: “What about it?”
“Then we don’t need to go to the hospital.” Chen Luonian suddenly sat up, scaring the doctor that was sitting at the side. Chen Luonian struggled to squeeze out a smile to that person: “My friend was over worrying. I’m actually fine and I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
“Eh?” The doctor looked at the blood soaked bandages and clothes on Chen Luonian’s body and his mouth opened wide: “How can you be fine?”
“That’s someone else’s blood.” Chen Luonian blabbered nonsense: “I only have a small wound on me. The person who’s heavily injured is in the other ambulance.”
“You should still go in for an examination just in case?” The doctor said worriedly.
“There’s no need.” Chen Luonian’s brows slightly knitted as he said: “I hate going to hospitals. Whatever pledge you need me to sign is fine, let me get off.”
Upon seeing this the doctor couldn’t say anymore and notified the driver, letting the two off at Xindian Station.
Finally he doesn’t have to go to the hospital. Chen Luonian gave a relieved sigh. After arriving at the hospital, if it was discovered that his recovery speed was strange, that would not be fun.
“Are you really alright?” Huang Zongru, although worried, still quite believed Chen Luonian’s words. Afterall, he was scared to the point that he closed his eyes earlier, he didn’t see with his own eyes the scene in which the monster used his pike to fling Chen Luonian, so he’s also not too clear about how serious Chen Luonian’s injury was.
“I’m fine.” Chen Luonian said: “Let’s go home. Where do you live?”
“Shulin. I’ll send you back to Banqiao first, then change cars to go back.” Huang Zongru shyly smiled and said: “Tianliang and Zhiwen also live in that neighborhood.
“Are you guys close friends?” The two brought tickets. As they walked towards the platform, Chen Luonian asked curiously. Huang Zongru’s personality was really too different from those two.
Huang Zongru thought about it before saying: “We’ve known each other for a long time. Sometimes we would…… play together.”
Not just friends, but even play together? Chen Luonian really didn’t expect this, and asked surprised: “What do you play?”
“Have you heard of ‘YAOSHOU'
(monster beast)
?” Huang Zongru asked in a small voice.The train arrived. Chen Luonian entered the train while asking puzzled: “Yao shou
(die prematurely)
?”“No, it’s YAOSHOUonline!” Huang Zongru said: “It’s an online game.”
So it’s like that. No wonder seemingly completely different types of people could play together. Looks like that day they weren’t bullying Huang Zongru. Chen Luonian shook his head and said: “I don’t really play online games.” Actually, it’s not that Chen Luonian didn’t play at all, but because he’s always alone, disliking groups and communicating, in games of the current design, he often would play to a point and gradually be unable to play anymore. After a few times he also lost interest in trying again.
“Want to try playing YAOSHOU?” Huang Zongru smiled and said: “My family owns an internet cafe. Come play at my house, I won’t charge you.”
“Your family owns an internet cafe?” Chen Luonian was surprised.
“That’s right. It does business everyday so there’s also no time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival.” Huang Zongru said: “Our entire internet cafe selects games and start guilds together. It’s really lively. Tianliang and Zhiwen also comes often.”
Imagining that kind of “lively” environment, Chen Luonian felt a bit reluctant and shook his head: “Better not. If I really want to play, I rather play at home.”
“That’s fine too.” Huang Zongru said: “I can bring you the CD for you to install. Can your computer run it?”
“Ga?”Chen Luonian originally was just throwing out a couple words. Didn’t think that once he mentioned games Huang Zongru would suddenly become energetic. He couldn’t help but feel quite surprised.
“Our guild is missing a priest right now.” Huang Zongru added: “But it’s still better to decide based on interest. What profession are you more interested in? Defensive type, auxiliary type, or offensive type? Close combat or long range? Do you like practicing against monsters or PK? Do you like PvE or PvP? If you’re not too concerned about the story quests then I have a way for you to, in a short amount of time……”
“Wait, wait wait!” Chen Luonian immediately interrupted, and asked shocked: “How come you suddenly changed to being able to talk so fast?”
“Um……” Huang Zongru said a bit embarrassed: “The things I know about…… flow more easily.”
“So it’s like that.” Chen Luonian couldn’t help laughing, and shook his head: “I’ll talk to you about it again if I want to play.”
“Alright.” Huang Zongru thought for a bit, then said: “If you’re too lazy to train then I can lend you a high level character to play. Even if you train yourself, if someone else is carrying it’s also really fast.”
“Alright—— Alright—— I got it……”

“You’re a fox spirit, right?” In fact, Chen Luonian always wanted to ask this.
In Chinese myth, fox spirits can be good or bad and some villages have worshipped them and generally take the form of young beautiful girls. But in my exposure to them in most traditional Chinese films, fox spirits are usually evil seductresses that suck the life out of men somehow. It’s also commonly used as a curse like saying ‘you bitch’.
“What fox spirit, you think I’m some little red fox? I’m an Immortal Fox! Also known as a Celestial Fox!” Huai Zhen jumped up and reached out to jostle Chen Luonian’s head.
With this, the towel naturally fluttered due to the wind and Huai Zhen’s enchanting figure became completely visible. Chen Luonian stared and couldn’t help crying out: “God, if you’re really going to let me look then I won’t be polite!” Who’s scared of who? This lady sure is a monster beneath the surface, not the least bit shy.
Huai Zhen gave a humph and picked up the towel to properly secure around her body while saying with a serious face: “You still haven’t answered me. How did you guys summon a Chisel Tooth?”
“What tooth?” Chen Luonian was startled: “Is it that tusk monster? I don’t know. “
“You still dare to say you don’t know!” Huai Zhen smacked Chen Luonian’s head again: “It’s impossible for that sort of monster to appear currently. It definitely has something to do with your Yuan Xi.”
“Is that type really rare? Didn’t it still get swallowed by you in one gulp, doesn’t that mean your appearance is even more strange?” Chen Luonian replied unhappily.
“I stayed in the mortal realm and never left!” Huai Zhen said: “Not to mention, showing myself in this kind of environment for the sake of saving you wasted so much of my strength! I didn’t even have the strength left to take on a human form…… and do you know how uncomfortable the transformation process is? And! Changing back to my original form caused the clothes I was wearing at that time to tear. I really liked that outfit, how are you going to compensate me?”
For every complaint, Huai Zhen smacked Chen Luonian’s head once. Cursing the entire way, Chen Luonian’s head was dizzy from being beat around and hurriedly got up out of the way and said: “Stop smacking, I really don’t know what happened. Ah, that’s right, how did you make it right in time to save me?”
“That’s right, there’s this too!” Huai Zhen said angrily: “How hateful. Give me your hand, I want to break the vow!” Meanwhile she lifted the ring finger of her left hand.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Luonian asked in surprise.
“I’ve been cheated!” Huai Zhen said: “The Contract Vow does have to be balanced! Do you still remember the contents of the vow?”
“Just that I’ll let you freely absorb Yuan Xi, wasn’t it?” Chen Luonian said.
“And there was a phrase after——’until forever’ right?” Huai Zhen said indignantly: “Because the front part was your responsibility, the latter part became my responsibility!”
“Huh?” Chen Luonian didn’t understand.
“It means that if it doesn’t last until forever, then it’ll count as I violated the contact!” Huai Zhen’s anger burst out: “I was perfectly fine and cultivating when suddenly the Blood Ice Ring transformed into ice needles and started piercing my heart. I almost died from the pain, so I could only rush from the mountains to find you! And as expected you were currently seeking death! I almost died because of you!”
“I didn’t know it would be like this ah. Until forever?” Chen Luonian still didn’t quite understand: “Then what if I die from old age?”
“Who cares why you die? As long as you allow me to have access to the Yuan Xi, if it doesn’t reach until forever it’ll all became my fault. Like this one day it’ll definitely kill me. Why should I accompany a short-lived human like you to die?” Huai Zhen said: “Hurry, break the contract first then we’ll talk about establishing another new balanced vow.”
Chen Luonian had no other choice and could only extend his hand and say: “How do I break it?”
“Have both hands facing each other, the vow fingers lightly touching…… What did you stick this thing on for?” Huai Zhen tore off the band-aid in one stroke while continuing: “Repeat after me——matters fickle, hearts change, fates extinct, contract break.”
After the two finished, Huai Zhen murmured some incantation, and then a surge of soft power slowly floated out from the two rings. Huai Zhen hurriedly lowered her head to inspect it, but immediately cried: “Why didn’t it cancel?”
Chen Luonian looked and the Blood Ice Ring was indeed still on his hand.
“Why!” Huai Zhen stared at Chen Luonian: “You must have not truly wanted to cancel it, right?”
“Huh?” Chen Luonian was stunned for a moment, before saying: “I did.”
“Then why is it still here?” Huai Zhen said angrily.
“Maybe……” Chen Luonian thought about it, and scratched his head: “My heart faintly thought that leaving this Contract Vow isn’t so bad.”
“That won’t do!” Huai Zhen’s eyes widened as she grabbed Chen Luonian’s shoulders and shook him: “There can’t be a single trace of reluctance in your heart. Come on, one more time.”
“Alright……”
So like this, the two repeated it seven, eight times, but didn’t succeed a single time. Huai Zhen exhausted her patience and abruptly reached out to clutch Chen Luonian’s neck: “You stinking brat, you really want to cause my death, don’t you?”
“Uh……” Chen Luonian was choked to the point that he started gagging. His face turned red, soon he’s run out of air. The temperature of the ring on Huai Zhen’s finger suddenly drops, apparently about to flare up again. She started and released Chen Luonian’s neck, the covered her face as she cried: “How can you do this! Scoundrel!”
“I’m not…… cough cough…… I’m not doing it on purpose.” Chen Luonian rubbed his throat: “Give me some time, I’ll try to make myself as sincere as possible.”
“I have to preserve your life forever. How could you be sincere in giving up something so good as this?” Huai Zhen sobbed.
“Now that you mention it, you’re right. No wonder it’s so hard.” Chen Luonian looked at Huai Zhen as he said: “But why do I feel like you’re fake crying?”
Huai Zhen froze, recalled that the opponent’s body harbored the Hun Duan Yuan Xi so charm techniques were ineffective and could only lower her hands to glare at Chen Luonian. She placed her hands on her hips as she said: “Hateful, I can’t trick you. In any case, you’re a scoundrel!”
“Alright, let’s put this aside for now.” Chen Luonian felt a headache: “I’m sincere, I’ll do my best to give up on the contract vow. You explain how that whatever tooth thing appeared first.”
“What tooth! Chisel Tooth! I still have to ask you about that. What the hell did you guys do? How did you guys end up provoking a Chisel Tooth? Answer me in complete detail!” Huai Zhen spoke while glaring.
So Chen Luonian could only narrate the entire night’s happenings again. When he got to the part when the two from Li Sect in addition to Ye Weishan couldn’t open the portal and the bit where he kindheartedly helped give them a leg up Huai Zhen’s hand smacked over again: “You imbecile!”
“What is it again!” Earlier at least there were reasons, but this time he was just thoughtlessly knocked around. Chen Luonian finally got angry and loudly shouted: “It hurts you know! You damned white furred dog monster!”
“What did you say? Seeking death!?” Huai Zhen lunged forward, pushing Chen Luonian down and pressed on his body clutching his throat again, but the Blood Ice Ring reacted again. Huai Zhen started and angrily released him, jumping up as she cursed: “Bastard.”
“Shit!” Chen Luonian got up as he swore: “If you want to kill me do it more refreshingly.”
Like give me a quick painless death.
“If I can kill you would I still need to pick the days?” Huai Zhen said as she glowered: “You actually dare to swear at me. You’re bullying me because I can’t touch you, you scoundrel!”
“If you didn’t hit me around what would I swear at you for?” Chen Luonian glared back: “Who is actually bullying who?”
Huai Zhen gave it a thought and also calmed down. Pouting, she said: “So I won’t hit you, you also can’t swear at me.”
“Whatever.” Chen Luonian gave a humph: “Where did I get to earlier? Why did you get angry?”
“Stupid…… If portals could usually be opened and that time it suddenly couldn’t open then it means there’s a problem. You actually used Yuan Xi to join in the mess, of course I got angry.” Huai Zhen finished scolding, then suddenly thought of something and smiled: “A human like you actually dare to argue with me, this is actually a bit amusing.”
“What, no one ever argued with you before?” After Chen Luonian finished speaking he suddenly recalled that weird Enrapture thing Huai Zhen’s body had. Perhaps there really was no one that would argue with her.
Our protagonist was only one character off from remembering the correct name this time. Instead of ‘Aura of Enrapture’ he called it ‘Strange Aura Enrapture’, the ‘of’ was replaced with ‘strange’.
Huai Zhen didn’t reply to this and only continued the earlier topic: “You said they’ve already caught monsters there multiple times?”
“Yeah.” Chen Luonian nodded.
“The fact that that place will have a channel on full moon nights may have already been noticed.” Huai Zhen said: “That Chisel Tooth perhaps happened to wake up and his interest was aroused, so he guarded that channel, wanting to get a headstart into the human world. Idiot.”
Is the idiot cursing at him or at the Chisel Tooth? Chen Luonian wasn’t sure and thought it was best to stay silent.
Huai Zhen continued: “Because he drove away all the other small monsters, the channel opened using those three’s combined strength had no way of allowing a Chisel Tooth which had comparatively large amount of monster essence through. Originally this was fine……”
“Oh……” Chen Luonian said: “So because I……”
“That’s right!” Huai Zhen wanted to hit someone again. Her hand had just lifted when she saw Chen Luonian had already started glaring. She couldn’t help smiling and lowered her hand: “You idiot. The random dispersing of Hun Dun Yuan Xi already opens small channels, what’s more you concentrated it then sent it out? Were you looking to die?”
“I won’t dare anymore.” Chen Luonian rubbed his stomach: “My wound healed really quick. Do you know why?”
“Hun Dun Yuan Xi is the purest Primary Fundamental Life Force, to have your recovery strength be strong is nothing strange. Huai Zhen said: “Unless you receive a fatal injury, you probably won’t die easily……”
“What counts as a fatal injury?” Chen Luonian asked: “Being beheaded? Or having my heart gouged out? The injury I received earlier…… in fact was already pretty fatal.”
“Anyways you probably had life threatening danger, otherwise the Blood Ice Ring wouldn’t react.” Huai Zhen suddenly got mad and glared: “I’m not the one that got his spirit exchanged by the Phoenix! Who would know this much?”
“Well……” Looks like she recalled the incident when she was cheated by him. Chen Luonian gave a cough: “I’ll go change, how about you? It’s not like you can wear a bath towel out, do you want me to give you some of my clothes?”
“Whatever!” Huai Zhen was currently pissed and gave a humph: “You humans, degenerating your fur until you have to find clothes to wear, then in the end dictated that everyone must wear clothes all the time. Seriously unfathomable.”
“Yes, yes……” Chen Luonian half-heartedly replied as he walked into his room. He first removed his bloody shirt, took of the bandage, then wiped away the bloodstains. Sure enough, even the wound on his chest had already closed, only leaving behind a long scar. Chen Luonian rubbed his stomach, although the insides still ached dully, but it couldn’t really be seen on the surface.
“Hey! Brat, don’t get one that wraps too tightly.” Huai Zhen shouted from the living room: “I don’t like pants!”
“Don’t look for trouble! Where would there be a dress in my house?” Chen Luonian shouted towards the outside: “I’ll just look for a looser one. After you leave switch to one you like yourself.”
“Leave? I’m not leaving anymore!” Huai Zhen yelled: “Before the contract vow disappears, I must look after you, this idiot! In order to avoid being killed because of you!”
“Hah?” Chen Luonian cried: “What do you mean by not leaving? Where are you planning to live? My house doesn’t have any unnecessary rooms.”
“Do I care! I’m staying at your house! Ah…… ah…… um……. Luonian…… come here a second.” Huai Zhen’s voice suddenly became three times smaller and much gentler.
Why did she suddenly turn polite and started calling his name? Just now wasn’t she continuously rotating through “imbecile, idiot, stinking brat”? Chen Luonian poked his head out and in shock, the clothes he was holding in his hands all dropped onto the ground.
Currently at the wide open entrance door, Uncle Shen Shangshan and four young guys and girls were holding bags of beer and snacks. The crowd stood at the door, currently staring blankly at the beautiful naked Huai Zhen who was wrapped in a towel.
Chen Shangshan’s gaze shifted from Huai Zhen to Chen Luonian. Seeing his naked upper body, Chen Shangshan took a deep breath, gave two dry coughs and said: “This…… We’ll come back in five minutes.” While holding his forehead, he closed the iron door again.
Damn, I’m finished…… Chen Luonian’s jaw dropped. This time how is he supposed to explain?
