36: The strange man who shocked the deserted island

In Mu Su City.

He Han was prone on the floor, her delicate brows furrowed as her hands tightly gripped the carpet.

“Master~”

“Don't speak, it's almost done.”

His brow was tightly knit, and he was sweating profusely from the exertion. Finally, he forcefully shoved the Kunpeng Wood in his hand into the Pill Furnace.

He Han looked at her newly purchased Pill Furnace with a pained expression; it was almost broken by his poking!

“Master, have you never performed Alchemy before? You can't even tell the intake port apart from the exhaust vent.”

Su Xiaobai's old face turned red. “Ahem! It's embarrassing to say, but back then I was rebellious. My old man wanted me to inherit the family business and forced me to refine pills all day, so I simply refused to practice.”

“That's why I seem quite clumsy when it comes to actual operations now.”

“Oh...” He Han looked at him gloomily, feeling like he was playing her for a fool.

But since he was rich, she let it slide. If he wanted to fool her, she would just pretend not to notice.

“By the way, Little Han, I saw you lying on the floor when I came in. What are you doing?” Su Xiaobai asked, looking puzzled.

“Hehe, Master, didn't you just give me my salary a while ago?”

“I have a small fortune now, so I don't need to be as frugal with Alchemy as before, which required total concentration. So, I wanted to try out all sorts of postures!” He Han said with an excited face.

“Fine... fine, do whatever makes you happy.” Su Xiaobai shook his head helplessly.

Then he walked over to the table, sat down, and leisurely began to drink tea.

“Speaking of which, Master, I heard you joined the Bing Ling Peak Lord's sect. Why did you come down the mountain so soon?” He Han sat up and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Sigh!” Su Xiaobai sighed deeply, his face full of bitter resentment. “Up there, there's always someone trying to end your Revered Master's bloodline!”

“So I requested to come down the mountain for experiential training from my Master.”

“Oh, oh. I was wondering why you've been freeloading at my place for so long without leaving,” He Han whispered to herself.

“What did you just say?” Su Xiaobai gave her a casual glance.

“Nothing, it's nothing!” He Han waved her hands hurriedly. “Master can stay as long as he likes!”

Su Xiaobai continued drinking his tea, ignoring her.

In any case, there was no way he was going back in the short term! Living every day in fear up there couldn't compare to the comfort of being served by He Han.

“Um... Master, I need to go to the Linglong Merchant Guild in a few days. Could you come with me?” He Han pleaded.

“Linglong Merchant Guild?” Su Xiaobai fell into thought. “Are you going there to buy something?”

“No, I'm planning to sell.”

“To sell?!” Su Xiaobai's eyes widened as he jumped up. Then, like an old father, he gave her a sharp flick on the forehead!

“You're so young and yet you're not learning anything good, only these crooked ways!” He rolled up his sleeves and said furiously.

Thump!!!

He Han took a heavy hit to the head. Clutching her forehead with teary eyes, she looked at him. “No, Master, that's not what I meant.”

“I've recently refined some Top Grade Essence-Increasing Pills that can help Core Formation Cultivators with their cultivation and breaking through bottlenecks. It just so happens I have a friend there who invited me to the Linglong Merchant Guild for an auction.”

“Oh, so it's for an auction. Who told you not to speak clearly? You deserved it!” Su Xiaobai stubbornly refused to admit he was in the wrong.

Although He Han felt wronged, she was afraid of going to such an unfamiliar place alone.

She stepped forward and hugged his arm, acting spoiled. “Master~, the Immortal Beast egg is also about to hatch. It will definitely need Heaven And Earth Treasures to be nurtured. Just come with me to take a look~”

“Please~”

Thump thump!

The Immortal Beast egg, wrapped in Baibai's serpentine body, jumped several times in strong agreement.

During these days, He Han had been roasting it with Samadhi True Fire every day, in addition to the physical incubation provided by Baibai.

The Immortal Beast inside the egg had already taken shape and possessed spirituality; it was only a step away from breaking out of its shell.

“Hmm... alright then. Since I have nothing else to do, let's go have a look.” Su Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

“Yay!” He Han's face was exceptionally excited.

You would never know, as someone with social anxiety, what it's like to face a situation where you have to go out.

How happy it makes one to have someone accompanying them for courage!

...

Three days later.

Jile City.

“Master~, don't get too far from me, I'm scared...”

The two were walking down the street.

He Han pinched the corner of Su Xiaobai's clothes, tightly wrapped in a large black robe, shivering as she looked at the gazes of the people around her.

“Master, why does it feel like everyone is looking at us?” she asked timidly, shrinking behind Su Xiaobai.

Su Xiaobai rolled his eyes speechlessly. “It would be strange if you didn't attract attention dressed like that.”

He told her to change her clothes but she refused, insisting it gave her a sense of security! Now, the two of them had become the most conspicuous sights on the street!

“You bastard! Heavenly Spirit Child, stop right there! See if I don't slaughter you!”

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind.

Su Xiaobai turned around in confusion.

He saw Liu Feifei in a green dress, holding a sword and chasing a white-robed youth to hack him!

“Big sister, can you stop chasing me? You've been hunting me for a month!” the white-robed youth shrieked.

Fortunately, he was agile; otherwise, he would have been hacked to death by this tigress long ago!

“Then clarify those rumors for me, and I'll let you go!”

“Impossible! I, Heavenly Spirit Child, only do real news in this life. Once something is published, I will never take it back!”

“Then prepare to die!” Liu Feifei's eyes were blood-red as she instantly sped up!

The two turned into a streak of green smoke, brushing past Su Xiaobai and He Han.

The pedestrians around them practicedly retreated to the side of the road, leaving a wide space for the two.

Seeing their practiced movements, Su Xiaobai found an old man and asked, “Old man, what are those two chasing for? They're acting like they have a blood feud.”

In his memory, there shouldn't be any conflict between Liu Feifei and Heavenly Spirit Child?

The old man sighed helplessly and glanced at Su Xiaobai. “You must be from out of town, right?”

Su Xiaobai nodded.

“No wonder you don't know. That young lady in green is the eldest miss of the Liu family, and the man she's hunting is Heavenly Spirit Child from the Tianji Pavilion.”

“A while ago, Heavenly Spirit Child published a news report about the eldest miss of the Liu family losing her virginity to an extraordinary man. It caused quite a stir at the time, and the head of the Liu family was furious on the spot.”

“But perhaps out of fear of the Tianji Pavilion's power, the head of the Liu family didn't hold Heavenly Spirit Child accountable in the end. It's just that the eldest miss of the Liu family has been chasing him with a sword every day for several days now.”

“The eldest miss of the Liu family lost her virginity to an extraordinary man?” Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, and a hint of interest couldn't help but rise in his heart.

Exactly which animal was so depraved? To actually be able to lay a hand on her figure! As a proponent of the 'big chest' ideology, he expressed that he had absolutely no interest in 'Pacific Ocean' types.

“Here, I happen to have a Tianji Newspaper I bought a while ago.” The old man handed him something resembling a newspaper.

Su Xiaobai took the newspaper and looked, and his heroic frame suddenly shuddered!

The extraordinary man in the picture wore a bandit's mask and carried three mountain-cleaving sabers on his waist. He wore a tight-fitting black outfit that outlined a perfect set of eight-pack abs; he was clearly a handsome guy!

The extraordinary man waved his hand and walked away dashingly.

Liu Feifei was behind him with disheveled clothes and messy hair, crying and shouting.

She looked exactly like a newlywed wife who had just finished in bed only to be abandoned by her husband.
