Chapter 271: Make way, or I'll crush it

Questioned, Passive Value, 1.

Xu Xiaoshou stared for a long time before snapping back to reality.

This girl’s outfit was a bit wild!

“What do you mean by visible or invisible? Are you talking about that cat?”

Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the parabolic line and thought that these two must be after it.

He deliberately probed:

“Gui Shou?”

As expected, Jiao Tangtang’s face changed at the mention, but she quickly composed herself.

She glanced at Tan Shen Daren below, who had been picked up again by Xin Gugu, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

“You seem quite special?”

Jiao Tangtang sized up Xu Xiaoshou. This young man was indeed very unusual. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary Lian Ling Shi, but upon closer inspection, the surging life force within him was simply unprecedented!

Sheng Ti?

Or some special Ling Ti?

Jiao Tangtang didn’t know, but she was now very interested in this young man. He could see Tan Shen Daren and had such abundant life force—this was even more perfect as a Gui Shou host than Mu Zixi!

“Little brother, big sister really likes you. Why don’t you come with me?”

Jiao Tangtang said with a smile.

Xu Xiaoshou:

“You like something about me? I can change it.”

Jiao Tangtang’s smile froze.

This was getting awkward... After a while, she licked her lips and said in a seductive voice:

“Big sister likes your vibrant, full-of-life body!”

“Body?”

Xu Xiaoshou hadn’t expected this girl to be so bold. He stepped back, pondered for a moment, and said:

“Then go ahead and like it. After all, no one can stop your thoughts.”

“Uh?”

Jiao Tangtang was caught off guard again. What kind of person was this, not playing by the rules?

Did she have no allure to this guy at all?

“You don’t like big sister?”

She stepped forward.

“I like you, so does that mean you have to come with me?”

Xu Xiaoshou reached out sincerely.

“In that case, let’s go home?”

Jiao Tangtang’s face twitched. She realized that in front of this young man, she seemed to have completely lost her ability to banter.

What about all her flirting tricks, playing hard to get...

They were utterly useless!

She took a deep breath,

Her chest rising and falling.

Hold back—this young man was destined to become Tan Shen Daren’s Gui Shou host. She couldn’t mess this up or back out!

Going home... How should she respond?

To go or not to go?

“Tch!”

Xu Xiaoshou muttered when she didn’t react for a while:

“No sincerity.”

With that, he jumped straight off the rooftop.

A strong wind blew by, leaving Jiao Tangtang a bit disheveled.

Was this guy serious about going home?

Wait, no—she’d been led astray!

He was the one answering questions, but now he was controlling the conversation?

Jiao Tangtang’s face darkened. Was this on purpose?

Questioned, Cursed, Passive Value, 1, 1, 1, 1...

Xu Xiaoshou changed the subject with a few words and finally got away.

After landing, he was hit with a barrage of notifications, making him wince and sigh.

“Why so much resentment? I’m not abandoning you, shixiong!”

As he spoke, he placed a hand on Mu Zixi’s shoulder and shook it lightly, shattering the simple restraints with his power.

Mu Zixi pouted:

“You want me to apologize?”

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the crowd around them and felt a headache coming on.

“I was only gone a short time—how did you cause such a mess?”

Two famous swords, two Mo Mo’s—you’re even better at trouble than I am, shimei!

This isn’t Tian Xuan Men—if these people break free, we’d be in real trouble!

“Shimei, do you know how much I sacrificed by jumping up there?”

Mu Zixi’s eyes widened. She didn’t know about any sacrifices; she just couldn’t forget that Xu Xiaoshou hadn’t swooped in like a hero from the start.

Just as she was about to speak, Xu Xiaoshou smoothly covered her mouth and lifted her up.

“Don’t say a word. We can’t stay here—let’s go first!”

“Go?”

Xin Gugu stepped forward, holding his Zen staff and cradling the white cat, blocking Xu Xiaoshou’s path.

You threw Tan Shen Daren—think you can just leave?

With a whoosh, Jiao Tangtang landed again, her eyes glancing around, but she didn’t dare speak carelessly.

Xu Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes.

Just what I was afraid of?

He didn’t plan on keeping that little white cat anyway, but now they were blocking him?

Fine, let’s settle this all at once!

He turned to the three sword wielders nearby and said directly:

“You three are looking for my shimei—what’s your business?”

Gu Qing stared at Xu Xiaoshou for a long time but couldn’t detect even a trace of Jian Yi from him.

As for Jian Nian, that was even less possible for this guy.

“Apologies, we have the wrong person. Carry on.”

He cupped his fists and led his two shidi to withdraw.

Xu Xiaoshou raised an eyebrow. They were giving up that easily?

Were these three sword wielders just here for nothing?

Though he didn’t believe it, he had no other choice right now. Even if they wanted to reap the benefits later, he had to deal with the two in front of him first.

Xu Xiaoshou looked at Xin Gugu’s golden Zen staff and chose his words carefully before saying:

“Gui Shou host?”

The term made a flash of killing intent appear in the depths of Xin Gugu’s eyes.

He glanced at Jiao Tangtang and asked in surprise:

“How does this guy know?”

“He can see it.”

Jiao Tangtang gave a brief explanation, and Xin Gugu understood immediately.

This guy can see Tan Shen Daren?

No wonder... No wonder he knows about Gui Shou hosts!

“This is inside the city.”

Jiao Tangtang reminded him again.

Xin Gugu nodded.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make it quick.”

Jiao Tangtang smacked him on the head, knocking it sideways, and snapped:

“That’s not what I meant! This guy has surging life force—we can’t kill him!”

Xin Gugu turned back, stunned, and carefully observed Xu Xiaoshou, seeming to notice something.

“You mean...”

“What are you looking at!”

Xu Xiaoshou felt creeped out by the stare and interrupted.

These two weren’t even whispering—they were just talking low, but nothing escaped his “perception.”

From what he heard, they were planning to kill or capture him?

He didn’t have the confidence to fight these two, who seemed on the level of Hui Wu Ren, to the death, but with A Jie in his arms, he wasn’t afraid either.

But this was Tian Sang City!

Fu Yin Hong had just left not long ago and might return any time.

If a fight broke out, it couldn’t be here.

He still had a lot to handle and couldn’t afford to end up in prison!

“You, come here.”

Xu Xiaoshou beckoned to Xin Gugu.

Xin Gugu was confused but didn’t back down against someone at Yuan Ting Jing initial stage. He stepped right up.

“Is this thing important to you?”

Xu Xiaoshou pointed at the still-drowsy little white cat in Xin Gugu’s arms.

“Thing?”

Xin Gugu’s face darkened.

If you weren’t going to be Tan Shen Daren’s Gui Shou host, you’d have died at least ten times by now!

He suppressed his urge to strike and gritted his teeth:

“That’s Tan Shen Daren—watch your words!”

“Daren, huh...”

Xu Xiaoshou nodded, indicating he understood.

Something called Daren must be some kind of Sheng Wu, right?

If it’s a cat beast...

Sheng Mao, Sheng Shou?

Anyway, it must be valuable!

Under Xin Gugu’s puzzled gaze, Xu Xiaoshou stroked his chin and finally reached a firm conclusion.

Then, in a flash, he struck like lightning, snatching the little white cat from Xin Gugu’s arms and holding it up high.

“Back off, or I’ll crush it!”
