Volume 1 Chapter 34: Xiao Rou's Appearance

  I was already not in good physical condition, and with this sudden strangulation, I immediately felt like I was going to meet my maker. Instinctively, I tried to call out for Mò Jiǎo Xiá (Ink Glasses Hero), but not a sound came out. Using the last of my consciousness, I looked around me, trying to see who it was that had grabbed my neck.

  I looked around several times but didn't see anyone, at this moment the hand's strength suddenly loosened a bit, and I surprisingly discovered that these hands weren't someone else's. They were actually my own hands, but what was strange was that I couldn't control them. These hands remained on my neck, using just the right amount of force to make me feel very uncomfortable, while also making it impossible for me to make a sound. I tried to struggle free from this hand, but surprisingly, I couldn't do it.

  I knew I must have been possessed by something, but I didn't expect it to be a heart demon, because he couldn't harm me on his own initiative. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until now...

  Looking over at the masked man, those vengeful spirits that were released began to float around in mid-air, and he also started running back and forth with them. Yet, there was still no sign of the heart demon's appearance! It seems what he said about me was true, as for Taoist magic and sorcery, he doesn't understand it at all. But I seemed to see that the heart demon would occasionally appear in front of him, sometimes behind him, yet it wouldn't show itself, probably also a bit afraid of the masked man.

  The calm and collected face of Ke Mo Jing Xian told me that he knew the heart demon was still around, I think it should be because of the barrier he set up.

  However, at this moment my hand's strength increased again, choking my neck. Meanwhile, the other hand continued to reach for my neck. This time I didn't have time to imagine anything because I was about to suffocate. The sunglasses-wearing hero was observing around looking for the heart demon and never thought that I would end up in this situation.

  Just as I was about to take my last breath, a figure appeared in front of me, and she grasped my hands tightly, pulling them apart. She whispered my name softly! But I had lost all consciousness, only seeing the beautiful hat on her head, and then everything went black.

  I don't know how long it took, but I gradually came to my senses when I opened my eyes. There were two people standing beside me, one was the sunglasses knight. However, he had already taken off his sunglasses at this time, and the other one was surprisingly Xiao Rou.

  "Sunglasses Brother, Xiao Rou......" At this time, I got a bit excited.

  Although my voice wasn't very loud, both of them heard it. Xiao Rou immediately leaned forward and said softly: "You're awake, that's great."

  The sunglasses hero stretched out his hand and peeled open my eyelids to take a look, sighing: "This kid still has a good life, he can withstand such torture without dying."

  Xiao Rou glared at Mo Jing Xiang and said, "You're the one who talks too much. Normally, I let you learn a bit of magic, but you never listen. In the situation where we set up a barrier, you still let it escape. Don't you feel ashamed?"

  "How come I didn't hear that? It's just that I was focusing on practicing my Gu skills!" The sunglasses-wearing hero looked like he had a temper but didn't dare to show it.

  However, from their conversation, it's clear that they knew each other before, and the sunglasses guy looks at Xiaorou with a somewhat different gaze. It seems like he really likes her.

  Xiao Rou helped me up at this time and asked me: "How are you now?"

  I shook my head slightly and said, "I'm fine, just feeling a bit uncomfortable all over. Thank you so much to Brother Mò Jiàn (Ink Glasses Hero), if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have been able to see you. It's great that you can appear here."

  "If not for me, he would have gone to drink Meng Po's tea." The sunglasses man continued to speak, and I took the opportunity to observe him carefully. To be honest, he was quite handsome, and not what I had imagined. At first, I thought he wore sunglasses all the time because he was ugly.

  Xiao Rou shook her head slightly, looking a bit embarrassed, and said: "Don't say that anymore, it's my fault. I was too anxious at the time and thought of you coming to Fengmen Village. The passage between Rongshu Village and Fengmen Village has been blocked, and to get to Fengmen Village, one must go through Mó Village. This is really sorry. So this time I came specifically to find you."

  Looking at Xiao Rou who was full of guilt, I really didn't know what to say. She spoke so eloquently and maintained a gentle tone throughout. This kind of situation, under the heavens, only Xiao Rou could achieve. Especially when she said that sentence about coming to find me on purpose, it truly warmed my heart.

  At this time, the sunglasses knight couldn't help but say to us two: "Hey, can you talk about this first? Now we are in a demon village, and Xiaolong's heart demon has grown to an extremely terrifying extent. If we don't get rid of it, I'm afraid that when it grows up in the future, it will be even more formidable than that dead Wang Xiaoya."

  "Uh-huh!" Xiao Rou nodded and said, "Yes, now this heart demon is growing too quickly. If we don't get rid of it, I'm afraid he'll impersonate one of us again. It will be even harder to deal with then."

  "It's useless to say that, hurry up and let him out. I'll beat him until he's toothless and his soul is scattered...". The sunglasses hero put on his sunglasses while speaking, "See? I'm already ready for battle, it's all up to you to get him out!"

  Xiao Rou didn't say anything, just nodded and then said to me, "The resentment is born from the heart. The dissatisfaction, fear, and regret in your heart often reside there, leading to the emergence of a demon in your heart. So now you still need to help."

  It's usually just a matter of looking, but when I heard Xiaoyu say that I had the opportunity to help, I immediately exclaimed: "Great! What do I need to do?" (If you like this book, please go to Mochi to watch Death Spirit, where the latest and most complete updates are first released.)

  "Now within a hundred meters of this area, Brother Chen Sheng has set up a barrier. This demon is trapped inside the barrier and can't get out because its resentment is too great. The goal is to make you die. You just stand in the middle and shout your own name, leave the rest to us." Only then did I realize that the sunglasses-wearing hero was actually named Chen Sheng.

  "Alright, Xiaorou, will this completely pulverize it so that it won't appear again in the future?"

  Xiao Rou furrowed her brow and said to me: "This is hard to say, because I haven't seen him before, and don't know how formidable he is."

  I knew this was a promise Xiao Rou didn't dare to make lightly to me, and I didn't waste any words either. Following what she said, I walked to the middle of this empty land. Now the fog around us has disappeared, I don't know if it dissipated on its own or if Xiao Rou appeared and got rid of it.

  However, I was in excruciating pain and extremely exhausted. As I walked towards the middle position, the Sunglasses Knight had already placed the Gu around but hadn't opened the lid. Although I knew his name was Chen Sheng, I still thought it was better to call him Sunglasses Knight.

  Xiao Rou lit an incense stick on the spot and prepared some talismans, but this time she used them directly. At this moment, she nodded to indicate that I could shout now.

  I licked my lips and started shouting out my own name. One shout, two shouts, after shouting a dozen or so times, I felt like something was appearing around me because I felt my scalp tingling. But still nothing could be seen.

  At this time, Xiao Rou waved at me and indicated that I could withdraw. I followed her instructions and leaned against the position of the turtle shell.

  After I withdrew, Xiaoyue rubbed the burning incense stick between her palms and finally placed it in the flames. After waiting for the incense to burn out, she picked up the ashes of the incense and paper on the ground and rubbed them hard with her hands, then slowly separated her palms.

  At first I didn't understand what she was doing, but after a few minutes, I discovered that as she rubbed the dust, a paper man about the size of a palm appeared beside her.

  Generally, this kind of paper man is the one that burns after death. She kept squatting on the ground and rubbing, probably more than a dozen times. Then she joined her hands together again, muttering something silently in her mouth. When she stood up, these paper men suddenly grew bigger, to the size of normal people. When I saw this scene, I felt a bit creepy again. Because they were not stiff and motionless, they were alive! They even blinked their eyes! And under Xiaoyu's command, they lined up in a row, holding hands, heading towards where I had shouted earlier...
