My Big Brother is Seeking Death Again

Chapter 28: Harvesting admirer accidentally

Long Aotian struggled to get up, the side of his waist had three deep cuts, and even the bones were showing.

"Benefactor, it's all because I dragged you, you escape first, I will stop it."

"Long Aotian " Shi Xia hadn't finished her sentence when she saw him already standing up.

He leapt onto the back of the demonic fox, and like before wheeled up his fist and hit the fox's head. The flames on the demon fox quickly engulfed him, Shi Xia could smell the smell of his skin burning. Less than a moment, the skin on his body began to turn crisp and fleshes began to show.

Crap, he's fighting to death like this, how can I just walk away? Won't my conscience kill me if I stepped one step away from here?

Shi Xia finally couldn't stop herself from ruthlessly gritting her teeth and chanting another spell.

Although she had never practised this spell before, and it could be used by a cultivator on the Foundation Establishment Stage, she couldn't care less in the desperate situation.

She quickly squeezed her fingers and recited the same incantation as the green-clothed female cultivator before.

If I can't beat it, I'll just tame it!

Below the demonic fox could react, a formation of contracting spiritual beasts appeared underneath it. White light slowly enveloped the fire fox, and the formation began to grow larger and larger.

Shi Xia could feel losing her spiritual energy rapidly, her body was nearly depleted of spiritual energy. She knew she wouldn't last long till the contract was completed, so she gritted her teeth, and without paying any attention to the place, began to rapidly draw the surrounding Qi into her body. Her dantian which was nearly empty a moment ago began to fill up with spiritual energy again.

But even so, the speed of gathering the Qi and losing it wasn't equal at all. She was losing too much spiritual energy too fast for the formation of contracting the spirit beast, but the amount she was gathering was lesser than that. The small shoot that had grown up previously began to shrink back, its body also began to get lighter and lighter, almost transparent. A sharp pain ran through her whole body. As if a faucet was open, she began to vomit blood like water.

But even so, Shi Xia didn't dare to stop. If she stopped now, not to mention Long Aotian, she herself would not survive. The backlash of a contract failing is very serious. The unwilling demon beast would crush her bones to powder.

The formation became even larger, and the demon fox was completely enveloped by the white light. It could no longer get out of the formation now.

Shi Xia's consciousness was also getting blurred. She faintly heard a crack, the body of the almost transparent seedling began to crack, and the leaves began to drop one by one.

Finally not being able to support herself, Shi Xia fell to her knees. Holding on to the last ounce of strength, she looked at the formation.

Did it work?

The formation had disappeared, the white light also began to fade. Amidst the white light, she saw the outline of the white nine tailed fox shadow shrinking. It slowly changed into a human appearance, and slowly walked towards her.

Shi Xia once heard that the nine tailed spirit fox with strong spiritual power can transform into a shape, does that mean she is successful?

As her heart felt relief, she only saw dots appearing before her eyes. A second before she fainted, a white shadow flashing to her side was seen on her barely opened eyes, as a warm body enveloped her whole being.

When Shi Xia opened her eyes again, she saw a handsome teenager with clear eyebrows and starry eyes looking at her. The whole person looked like he was glowing under the light. Shi Xia froze, such a face with a face value over 90 makes people want to know the person and talk to them about life.

If only he wasn't holding a clump of mud like stuff and trying to paste it on her face.

"Awake?" The teenager's eyes lit up, but that didn't stop him from plastering the mud like thing in his hand to Shi Xia's face.

The corners of Shi Xia's mouth twitched, and she immediately dropped the ideals of life she wanted to talk with him hard on the ground, and kicked him away before asking, "What do you want?"

"You're hurt." The teenager did not get angry, but instead held up the rotten mud that was still in his hand and came up again, "Xia Xia, let me help you with the medicine."

"How do you know my name?" Xia Xia was her nickname.

His eyes flashed, "Of course I know."

Shi Xia froze, and looked carefully at the teenager in front of her. He was wearing a bizarre red cloth, this kind of girly color didn't suit any boy but unexpectedly, it looked good on him. His beauty was on the feminine side, especially the flame-like mark on his forehead. Except for this, his whole body looked sturdy and he seemed to have a very cold temperament, much like a villain in a romance story.

Wait! Red mark, villain!

"You wouldn't be that nine-tailed spirit fox just now, would you?"

The boy nodded and once again extended the paste in his hand with a serious face, "Do yant to medicate?"

"No way, I really succeeded!" Shi Xia was so excited that she felt like she was floating. She wasn't dead, not only was she alive, with the practice of gathering the Qi, she actually got a sixth-rank spirit beast!

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face, then rub his hair, and pull his little paws again, "Are you really the nine-tailed spirit fox? I'm not dreaming, right?" It can also transform into a human.

The teenager's action froze, as if scared by her rogue-like actions. Then with a "poof" a large furry tail appeared behind him, swaying from side to side.

It's really the nine-tailed spirit fox!

The more Shi Xia looked at him, the more amazing she felt. Such a big demon fox can actually turn into a human.

"This is the first spirit animal I've collected! And I am still alive. Oh right, let's know your name first."

"My name is Zhen Bing*."

[T/N: Zhen Bing means The scout'. I'm uncertain of the exact name of the teenager since MTL is showing three different names for one Chinese word. So I'm thinking of going with the one that I think is closest to the translation, but it can change in the future.]

"Ahhh?!" Shi Xia froze, the pet already has a name but why does it sound like the character of the usual online games? Little fox, how can you exceed the expectations?

The teenager pulled his paws out of Shi Xia's hand and raised the mud like paste in front of Shi Xia's eyes as he asked, "You want to rub the medicine?"

"What is this?" Shi Xia eyed at the paste.

"These are paste made from spirit grass. Your spiritual power has depleted, and meridians are damaged. You also have hurt your Spiritual Root, if you apply this, you will feel better."

When the teenager explained, Shi Xia realised that there was this paste on her body and legs. And after looking inside her dantian, she could feel the herbal paste really worked. A trace of spiritual energy entering her body could be felt, and was repairing the seedling that had lost two leaves. The root that became transparent was starting to turn back to pure white.

Although her cultivation level had returned to the third level of Qi Refining, which was equivalent to wasting the previous three months of practice, it was the best result she had expected. She was still very far away from the Mu Xuan Immortal Mansion, she still had to figure out the task on the phone before continuing her journey.

Although she remembered about the mission, why did it seem like she had forgotten something?

"Crap, Long Aotian!" She looked around and didn't see anyone else in sight, "Little boy, where's my companion?"

The teenager frowned, as if a little annoyed. He directly slapped the mud in her face, before pointing to the dense forest in front of them, "Over there."

Shi Xia turned her head and saw a huge ball of mud lying there.

The corners of Shi Xia's mouth twitch, "He will not be in the ball, right?"

"He's hurt worse than you." The teenager replied with a straight face.

"" Should she be glad that he showed mercy and only smeared her face and didn't turn her into a ball?

****

Long Aotian woke up two days later, and when Shi Xia thought he was dead, he crawled out of that mud ball. A strong smell of roasted chicken immediately wafted over, eliciting a sky-shaking response from his stomach.

"Yo, you woke up." Shi Xia waved the roast chicken in her hand in greeting.

"En benefactor?" Long Aotian froze, and only then did he come back to his senses, "I I'm not dead."

Shi Xia pointed to the rotten mud behind him and said, "It seems that mud ball of spiritual grass is quite useful." Originally, he was burned by the nine-tailed demon fox and had his skin burned to crisp. But it only took two days for him to recover. It seems the treatment of the teenager is really praiseworthy.

"Benefactor, you you are also fine!" Long Aotian took a careful look at her, and only then pounced with a face of excitement, "Great."

He just pounced when he felt something grabbing him. A hand twisted his collar, as if repulsed by him and dragged him hard back to the pile of mud.

Long Aotian looked at the sudden appearance of the teenager in red and froze. Who is this person ah?

"He is the one who saved us." Shi Xia explained, "He's the nine-tailed demon fox from before, and now he's my spirit beast."

"Benefactor, you had a pact with him?" Long Aotian was astonished.

"Well, sort of."

Long Aotian stared at her in daze for a moment before looking at her with an adoring face and said, "Benefactor is indeed omnipotent."

" " Where in the world did you get this concept from ah? Shi Xia rolled her eyes, broke off a chicken leg and handed it over, "Want to eat a chicken leg?"

"How can I accept this " he scratched his head and said with a guilty face, "It was originally my recklessness that caused the benefactor now troubling you to give me food. I "

Growl..

His stomach growled even louder.

"All right, eat if you want to. Why speak so much nonsense?" I already figured out your true nature in the previous three months, no need to show politeness. "It wasn't your fault at all. That person probably came before us in the forest and schemed against us."

"No, no, no, how can I blame the benefactor, it's all my fault."

Growl

"If I hadn't gone over there to save the girl, I wouldn't have "

Growl

"If I could have run faster, the benefactor wouldn't have been caught "

Grooowl..

"It's all my fault"

Groooooowl

The corners of Shi Xia's mouth twitched, "Are you going to eat it or not?"

"Eat!" He immediately farted and crawled over.

"" What an idiot, still pretending with me!

Long Aotian was about to reach out to pick the chicken drumstick when the golden chicken leg was gone from Shi Xia's hand the next moment. Both of them looked at the person who took the chicken leg and saw the teenager glaring at Long Aotian with the face of murder.

Long Aotian: ".." Growl, growl, growl.

"Zhen Bing?" Shi Xia froze, he refused to eat the chicken leg just a moment ago, how come he wants to eat now?

Zhen Bing looked at the chicken leg in his hand, a look of disgust flashed across his face. He exclaimed with a fierce face "I caught it!" The meaning is obvious, since he caught the chicken, no one could eat it if he didn't permit it.

The corners of Shi Xia's mouth twitched, maybe it was because he had just transformed into a human, but she found that the behaviour of Zhen Bing was sometimes really like a child.

"Zhen Bing, behave." Shi Xia couldn't help but touch his head and try to coax him, "He's been hungry for two days. If he doesn't eat anything, he'll starve to death."

Zhen Bing froze, and the tail behind him poofed out again. He lowered his head before saying reluctantly, "I'll share."

"Good." Shi Xia nodded, since he caught the chicken, let him share on his own.

Zhen Bing pulled off the other chicken drumstick, he took both the drumsticks and the parts of the chicken that had most meat, before turning his head to Long Aotian. He only left chicken wings, neck, head or something for Long Aotian before moving away. But before he left, he sent a series of glares at Long Aotian.

Long Aotian had a head full of black lines. He moved two steps towards Shi Xia, lowered his voice and said, "Benefactor, this Zhen Bing seems don't like me much?"

Shi Xia gave him a pointed look, "You beat up someone's son and let someone kidnap the person, can he like you?"

"Uh "

"He's already considered to give you a lot of face by not biting you to death the moment you wake up. Don't try to provoke him in the future." The teenager was close to her because she became his master. But that didn't mean he forgot what happened before.

Long Aotian stiffened and silently gnawed on the chicken butt without further complaint.
