Xiaohu opened his eyes slowly and saw Huangfu Longdou’s face looming over him.
He stared blankly for a short while, and then he came back to his sense almost instantaneously, Xiaohu jumped to his feet and cautioned, “Senior Huangfu, be careful. There’s a monster here!”
Looking at his panic-stricken pockmarked junior, Huangfu Longdou pointed to the ground nonchalantly.
Xiaohu’s gaze swiveled in the direction of Huangfu Longdou’s finger. It was then that he caught sight of the bodies littering the ground. They were all corpses of foxes.
“This…”
Xiaohu was completely stunned.
Senior Huangfu actually took care of all the Fox Demons?
He knew from the start that he probably wouldn’t be able to help.
It was fine if he wasn’t able to help, but he actually fainted and became a burden.
Instantly, Xiaohu’s face turned red, and he rubbed his head in embarrassment.
“You should put on your clothes first.”, Huangfu Longdou reminded him.
Xiaohu was stunned when he heard that. He looked down and realized that his pants had already fallen to his ankles.
He was instantly embarrassed and hurriedly bent down to lift his pants.
At the same time, his face became even redder.
Seeing Xiaohu’s embarrassed look, Huangfu Longdou explained.
It turned out that when Xiaohu was unconscious, the fox demon had actually taken off Xiaohu’s clothes and wanted to absorb Xiaohu’s blood essence.
Only then did Xiaohu understand.
Could it be that when he was unconscious just now, he seemed to have dreamt of something very comfortable. But he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he shut his mouth and did not mention this.
Just as Xiaohu was feeling guilty, he seemed to have noticed something white from the corner of his eye, and he focused his eyes on it.
“This, isn’t this my jade pendant!”
Xiaohu turned pale with fright.
There was actually half of his jade pendant on the ground.
In that case…
Xiaohu lowered his head and looked at his chest. As expected, only half of his jade pendant was still hanging on the red rope.
Seeing Xiaohu’s face turned pale because of fright, Huangfu Longdou explained once again, “Just now, I wanted to wake you up, but who knew that this jade pendant would shoot out a strong beam of light to attack me.
“In the end, your jade pendant was unable to hurt me. Instead, it was shattered.”
Hearing Huangfu Longdou’s words, Xiaohu was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was also a little angry.
He had always worn this jade pendant since he was young. He didn’t expect it to be a treasure.
However, although this jade pendant was a treasure, it had attacked senior Huangfu while he was unconscious.
How could he not be angry?
Huangfu Longdou was Xiaohu’s idol, Xiaohu respected Huangfu Longdou very much.
“This broken jade dare to harm senior Huangfu. I don’t even care if it’s broken!”
Xiaohu gritted his teeth, tore off the red rope around his neck, and ruthlessly threw the half piece of jade to the ground.
Instantly, the sound of jade breaking echoed on the dirt road.
And the jade heart hidden within the half piece of jade pendant was completely exposed.
Huangfu Longdou bent down to pick up the jade heart and handed it to Xiaohu, “This is your treasure. Although I don’t know how you obtained it, it is still yours.
“Although the jade pendant is damaged, this jade heart is still in good shaped. Keep it well. It might be useful.”
Xiaohu frowned and looked at the jade heart in Huangfu Longdou’s hand. His face was filled with disgust, “I don’t want it. This jade pendant harmed senior brother Huangfu. It’s not a good thing!”
Upon hearing Xiaohu’s words, Huangfu Longdou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn’t expect that Xiaohu would actually treat him with such respect. This was something that Huangfu Longdou didn’t expect.
Huangfu Longdou shook his head and said,
“This jade pendant originally didn’t have any ill intentions. Perhaps when I woke you up, the jade pendant treated me as an attack. That’s why it wanted to protect you.”
Hearing this, Xiaohu hesitated a little, but he still shook his head.
“No, this jade pendant might be good jade, but I’m not willing to bring it with me anymore.
“If senior thinks this jade is good, then take it yourself.”
This time, Huangfu Longdou was instead stunned.
Give it to me?
Huangfu Longdou lowered his head and looked at the jade heart in his hand.
Although it was jade, it was completely transparent and was no doubt like a pearl.
From the looks of it, this jade heart must be of the highest quality.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Longdou advised a few more words, but Xiaohu was still unwilling to accept it.
“If senior doesn’t want it, then throw it away!”
Huangfu Longdou sighed.
This kid, why was he so stubborn.
He wasn’t injured, so why was he so hostile towards this piece of jade.
However, Huangfu Longdou thought it was too pity to throw it away.
Therefore, Huangfu Longdou thought of a compromise.
“Xiaohu, give me your hand. I’ll give you something good.”
Hearing Huangfu Longdou’s words, Xiaohu, who was sulking at the side, also curiously stretched out his hand.
Huangfu Longdou smiled slightly and took out a small bottle from his pocket. He poured out a Dragon Blood Treasure Pill in Xiaohu’s palm.
“Eat it. This is a Dragon Blood Treasure Pill. It’s good for you.”
“Dragon Blood Treasure Pill?”, Xiaohu was stunned when he heard that. He said in shock, “Senior, are you talking about a reward for this competition, the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill?!”
“You also know about this item?”, Huangfu Longdou raised his eyebrows and asked.
“This item is a supreme treasure personally refined by Elder Wang. It’s said that consuming one pill can greatly improve one’s cultivation. It’s a rare supreme treasure!”
Xiaohu excitedly spoke with assurance, as if he was talking about a family treasure.
But in the next second, he became dispirited.
“Senior, this Dragon Blood Treasure Pill of yours is too valuable. How can I accept it? You should eat it yourself.”
After saying this, Xiaohu was about to return the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill to Huangfu Longdou.
This time, Huangfu Longdou was even more determined to help this little brother.
“Xiaohu, don’t worry. I have already eaten one.”, Huangfu Longdou pushed Xiaohu’s hand back.
“Besides, didn’t you give me a piece of jade? Take this Dragon Blood Treasure Pill as an exchange between us.”
Hearing Huangfu Longdou’s words, Xiaohu nodded his head gratefully.
He didn’t expect senior Huangfu not only to be strong, but also to be so kind to him.
In the future, he had to be senior Huangfu’s servant!
Thinking of this, Xiaohu bowed gratefully and then carefully swallowed the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill.
Then, a strong aura appeared.
It came from Xiaohu’s body.
Was the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill this powerful?
Huangfu Longdou was slightly stunned, then he frowned.
No!
This wasn’t the aura of the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill.
Instead, it looked like Xiaohu’s own aura?
Xiaohu was also stunned.
He seemed to feel that a certain part of his body was awakening.
“Senior brother, senior brother…”, Xiaohu panicked, and his voice trembled.
Could it be that he was not worthy to eat this Dragon Blood Treasure Pill, which made the Dragon God furious?
Could it be that heavenly punishment was about to descend? !
However, as Xiaohu’s thoughts ran wild, the strange phenomenon in his body gradually disappeared.
Sensing that his body was gradually calming down, Xiaohu calmed down a little and tried to activate the power in his body.
Then, Xiaohu was stunned on the spot again.
The original Xiaohu had long been appraised by the Heavenly Sword Sect. He was an individual with poor aptitude and could only train his body.
However, now he looked at his palm in surprise and muttered to himself,
“Senior brother, I seem to be able to train my qi!”
