Chapter Twenty-Four: It's Done

  Balls of flame gathered in the air and shot towards Xiao Tang one after another... I saw Xiao Tang being burned by my fire spell, but after the flames disappeared, I thought Xiao Tang would be burnt to ashes. However, when I saw the result, I was greatly shocked.

  Standing in front of me is still Xiao Tang... except that his body was charred by the flames and had no intact skin.

  "Hmm...interesting." I saw that person hum a sentence, took out a dagger and cut his own hand to create a blood-red scar.

  "From the spirits of the dead to the souls of the underworld, I offer my blood as a sacrifice to the gods!" I saw that person cut open his hand and splatter blood on Little Tang's body. Looking at Little Tang again, who had been blinded by the fire, after receiving that person's blood, he suddenly became ferocious!

  Xiao Tang suddenly went berserk and pounced on me, baring his ghostly fangs!

  What to do! I'm not confident in using the Fire Spell again! With my current cultivation level, I haven't reached that stage yet... No matter what, I can't give up now.

  "Present! Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Three Lives Five Elements, Li Huo Sheng..."

  No way! I really can't use the Fire Seal incantation twice in a row! The second time I used it, my mind was uneasy and my forehead started burning again! My body felt like it had been hit by something... It felt like something inside me was shattering. Blood spurted out.

  Xiao Tang's eerie and sinister fangs suddenly grew longer, and he bit down on me with a single swift motion! I saw how razor-sharp and terrifying those fangs were, but they still managed to bite down on me with such brute force!

  Bang! I closed my eyes, originally waiting to be bitten by it, but as a result, I saw Little Tang being shaken open 5 meters away. What's going on? I see the light on my forehead getting more and more dazzling...

  Xiao Tang was shocked by me, and that person wasn't much better off! He fell to his knees, holding his head as if it had exploded. I still don't understand why this thing appeared on my forehead...

  After the light disappeared, I touched my forehead and found a mark... it was the Oracle bone script! The character "Chuan"!

  "Unprovoked powder! Unprovoked powder actually on you!" The man said this as he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving behind these words.

  What's with the powder? I remembered that when Mengmeng left, something fell from her body onto my forehead! It was this powder, and it's so potent?

  "Hmph... you win today. But I'll be back for you." With that, the man turned and leapt out of the 4th floor window with Xiao Tang in tow.

  This is the fourth floor! I ran over and saw that he had jumped down without anything happening, but was climbing down window by window and running on the ground.

  "Bastard! You said you'd tell me where Master is!" I subconsciously remembered this point, he said he would come back to find me.

  Master told me that Wu Yin Fen is a heaven-defying object, and many people will be spying on me because of it. Is this the beginning?

  I touched my forehead and felt that the character was slowly disappearing... Why does it appear every time I use the Fire Separation Spell?

  He's gone too, I guess there's nothing else to do in this company. I feel a bit dizzy and staggered my way to the 7th floor...

  "My father-in-law" was also shocked to see me like this. "Zikawa... are you okay?!"

  "Yeah, it's okay, uncle, that person has left and nothing will happen again..." As soon as I finished saying this sentence, my whole head felt dizzy and dark, and I fainted.

  When I woke up, I saw myself lying in bed and got up to see that I was being infused with liquid in the hospital.

  "Uncle..." I saw "father-in-law" lying on the chair, it seems that everyone was tired last night.

  "Ah, Zikawa, you're awake."

  "Hmm... Uncle, how did I end up in the hospital?"

  "At that time you suddenly fainted and scared me to death."

  "Oh... I must be too tired," I thought, recalling that I had tried to cast the Fireball Spell twice in a row last night, maybe it was too strenuous.

  "Okay, rest well, I haven't told Zhang Ting and the others about this yet, let's just keep it between us."

  "Hmm." I feel like "father-in-law" is right, this is a man's responsibility after all?

  In the afternoon, I left the hospital with "father-in-law". He supported me all the way back. I could feel that my face must be very pale because I felt powerless all over my body.

  "Ah, Dad, Zikawa, why are you back so late!" As soon as we entered the house, Zhang Ting, who was sitting on the sofa, saw us like this.

  Her sentence brought out both "mother-in-law" and Yu Xin, all of whom care about us.

  "What's wrong?" I saw "mother-in-law" looking at "father-in-law" nervously, while Zhang Ting kept shaking me...kept asking me how I could be like this...Zhang Ting, I really can't take your shaking now...

  "Ting Ting, don't go disturb Zikuan, let him rest well. Last night a thief came to the company and I and Zikuan fought with that person, Zikuan got a bit hurt." Still, "Father-in-law" has some status, just one sentence and Zhang Ting was stopped...

  I saw Zhang Ting's eyes with a hint of ripples, looking at me but not daring to speak, supporting me back to the room.

  "Ting Ting..." I wanted to say something to her, feeling that she was a bit unhappy.

  "Zi Jiang... what if something happens to you..." I saw her say to me with a bit of despair, it seems she really believed what her dad said, feeling that none of this matters anymore, as long as I can protect Zhang Ting, that's enough for me.

  "I'm really good at fighting. You've forgotten, haven't you? That guy was beaten up badly by me." I thought it would comfort her and make myself feel better seeing her like this.

  "I know you'll fight, but can't just be reckless!" Is it really being reckless? Maybe this is what "father-in-law" said, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

  "Ah, Zikawa, you mentioned Yifan and I remembered. Last time you beat him up by the willow lake, he said he wanted to find someone to take revenge on you...I heard from others that if you see him don't go near him, got it?" Zhang Ting seemed to recall something when I mentioned Yifan.

  "Take revenge on me? He's just a nobody, I'll see how he takes revenge on me. Alright, alright, I know already." Tingting~~ I smiled and sold out, Zhang Ting didn't even know what to say to me, she kissed me once and told me to rest well.

  Watching her walk out, I thought that if we had a few kids together in the future, how happy it would be.

  It was already afternoon when I left the hospital, I took a look at the time now and lay down on the bed, unknowingly fell asleep.

  "Kokawa... Kokawa..."

  "Who called me?" I felt like someone was calling me again, but when I woke up, I didn't hear any sound. However, my forehead started to feel hot again. When I looked in the mirror, the character "川" (river) seemed to be branded on my forehead with a hot iron, and it looked very conspicuous!

  How can I walk out with this river of words on my head? As I pondered this question, I felt my forehead slowly cool down, and the river of words also slowly dispersed...

  I opened the door and walked out, but what I saw was not Zhang Ting's home! But it was the bamboo house where my master lived!

  I saw what I saw, it was that night when Master sent Mengmeng off, he threw the paper boat into the air, floating in the water tank, and the powder left behind by Mengmeng as she floated onto the boat just happened to fall on my forehead! Why did I come back here! I see myself slowly disappearing, I see Master smiling at me with a grin.

  "Master!" I shouted out loud, only to wake up and realize it was just a dream. Why did it make me recall the past? I saw Master, and I miss him so much...

  I took a look at the time and it was already past 9 pm, I walked out and saw that only Zhang Ting and Yu Xin two sisters were sitting on the sofa watching TV in the living room.

  "Zi Chuan!" Zhang Ting saw me coming out and ran over to hold my hand, giving me a sly smile.

  "Sister, brother-in-law, aren't you ashamed?" Yuxin saw this and was ridiculing us.

  "Mind your own business! You're still young and don't understand!" Zhang Ting shouted at Yu Xin, who then glared at her before continuing to watch TV.

  "Where are your parents?" I saw that there was no one else in the living room except for her sisters.

  "My dad and mom have gone to sleep. Shh..." Zhang Ting said, signaling me to keep my voice down, this action was also extremely cute, I sat on the sofa with her two sisters watching TV.

  "Zihe, look at how cute the kids inside are!" I took a glance and wondered what was worth looking at.

  "Hmm...hmm. Cute, cute sister, just give birth to one already." I saw Yu Xin deliberately teasing Zhang Ting, and I felt that a big fight was about to happen again...

  "Born to be born! You can also be born!"

  "Hmph! I was born more adorable than you!"

  I saw them quarreling again, I really don't know how they got along for so many years...

  "Hey, I'm saying you guys...can't watch TV properly?" I weakly chimed in between them. As a result, the two of them said to me in unison: "Shut up."

  I went, and it turned out that the tacit understanding between sisters originated from here.

  I was too afraid to speak up and just quietly watched as the two of them exchanged words, but in the end those two people actually made up again...

  "Sister...do you think men are reliable?"

  When I heard Yu Xin ask this question, I felt like she was slapping me in the face. They completely ignored me!

  Zhang Ting looked at me and gave me a sideways glance.

  "Of course... of course it's unreliable!"

  "How unreliable! Am I still unreliable?" I heard Zhang Ting say "unreliable" and jumped up to defend our men's dignity!

  Yu Xin saw my reaction and laughed, "Alright alright, brother-in-law don't get excited, sit down..."

  I sat down in a huff, and Zhang Ting saw me like this and came over to coax me, "Alright alright, I know you're reliable."

  "Right, brother-in-law, how many children are you planning to have with my sister?" Yuxin asked another question, which was also too direct.

  "Two...two." I lowered my head in embarrassment.

  Zhang Ting pushed me and said, "Two! You go give birth!"
