Chapter 158: Capturing Xiu He

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I think you have a death wish!” Bai Wu unleashed his anger and a black antenna-like structure latched onto Xiu He’s calf. She was slammed against the wall of the well.

Xu Lan was floating midair. Bai Wu stomped on the water and caught Xu Lan in his arm. The image of Xu Lan sharing sexual pleasures with Xiu He disappeared completely.

Bai Wu slapped Xu Lan again, causing the other side of his face to swell as well. He said, “Do you still not want to wake up?”

“Haha! I think he prefers my gentle embrace over reality,” Xiu He raised her brows and said flightily. The stone wall was covered with dark red blood. It was unclear if that belonged to Xiu He or someone else.

Xiu He’s hair was dripping in sticky blood. Her pale face was not as seductive as before. She flashed her fangs and stared at Xu Lan who was in Bai Wu’s arms. She was acting like a falcon who preyed on a weak rabbit.

“Heh! You can stay here and accompany me!” Her hair charged at Bai Wu like hundreds of millions of arrow, cornering Xu Lan in the process.

Bai Wu’s dragon’s might crept forward slowly the way vines did, holding its ground against Xiu He’s sharp hair. The once-quiet well was full of the sound of clashing armor.

Bai Wu and Xiu He’s battle was heating up.

“Hmm?” Xu Lan woke up.

“Papa! You’re awake? Pft…” A strand of hair that was sharp as arrow penetrated Bai Wu’s chest. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Hoho, do you really have time for idle chit-chat? Are you looking down on me?” Xiu He snickered.

“Pft, a minor character like you don’t deserve my full attention,” Bai Wu said as he rubbed off the blood stain on the corner of his mouth. He left Xu Lan within the proximity of his dragon’s might as a pretectionary measure.

“You!”

“Finally awake now? I thought you’ve forgotten about what you came here for!” Bai Wu ignored Xiu He’s rage and whispered gently to Xu Lan.

“Heck! Focus on your task! Why are you meddling into my business! Try to catch her, I can’t wait to take credit for bringing her to the mayor!”

Xu Lan flushed. Bai Wu assumed that Xu Lan was fine given his vigor. The corner of his lips curled slightly and he directed his full attention to Xiu He again.

“You! Both of you are working together to deceive me? Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Ah!” Xiu He attacked Bai Wu with her hair. Her fingernails were elongating as they closed up on Bai Wu.

“Should I say you’re too naive or just plain brainless? How can you believe me so easily? Ah, it’s about time you let go of your vengeance. I’m sure the mayor wouldn’t mind looking for another old Daoist.”

Xu Lan was adding oil to fire as he watched Bai Wu and Xiu He fight.

“You!” Xiu He charged at Xu Lan violently.

Bai Wu took advantage of her distracted mind and slammed her onto the bottom of the well with his tail. Xiu He was buried amidst the small pile of white bones. In the dark, Bai Wu managed to hold onto her shapely little feet with the help of his dragon’s might.

“Elder, elder. Are you okay?”

“Bai Wu! Can you hear us?”

“Why are all of you here?” Their loud cries woke the people in the town up. The mayor walked over with his walking stick along with the rest of the residents.

“Hey, the mayor is here. Xiu He, you should be acquainted with the mayor? He should be around your age.” As Xiu He had been captured, Xu Lan had the guts to voice his question. Perhaps due to Bai Wu’s dragon’s might, Xu Lan was able to breathe and walk around the well freely.

A hint of pain flashed across Xiu He’s face and she glared at Xu Lan angrily.
