《The Adventure of Holy Beast Bai Xiaoli》C47. The Black Shadow is almost Driven Mad
Advertisement
Bai Xiaoli is seriously bothered by the scream. To protect his eardrums from danger, he jumps away quickly to keep a distance with Long Lan.
After being kicked away by Bai Xiaoli, the black shadow can’t move for a long time. When he finally holds up his body in coughs, the clothes on his chest is caught by one hand. Cold-eyed, the black shadow stabs toward Bai Xiaoli's heart from bottom up with a short dagger. When he’s about to succeed, his wrist is suddenly grabbed by another hand. The black shadow has his body bumps forward, and the power fluctuation all over his whole body skyrockets instantly!
Bai Xiaoli does a back flip to avoid the strike of the black shadow and stands there watching the black shadow using his star power.
Around the black shadow, the orange nebula appears instantly, two layers, one above and the other below—E Grade Orange Star-II!
"Are you students from Tianjing College? Hands over the beast core; I can let you go!"
When Cang Yan and Joyce chase over, they see the masked black shadow wrapped in two layers of orange star rings. He looks very dazzling in the night, as if he’s surrounded by two orange starry rivers, and the stars are shining in the starry rivers, beautiful and powerful.
The faces of the two change suddenly. An E Grade Orange Star-II, among the people present, only Bai Xiaoli and Cang Yan can reach this level.
"Who are you? Is it you who take off the pants of little Lanlan?" Bai Xiaoli interrogates.
The black shadow: "..."
Cang Yan and Joyce: "..."
What have they heard? Take off the pants? So Long Lan's scream which just pierces the sky is because of this?
"If you want to snatch the beast core, you just snatch it. Why do you take off his pants?" Bai Xiaoli continues to question.
The black shadow is about to vomit blood. His face is green with anger. He grinds his teeth and says, "I didn't take off his pants!"

Bai Xiaoli obviously doesn’t believe, "Then where are his pants?"
The black shadow grinds his teeth and growls in a low voice, "How can I know where are his pants?!"
Bai Xiaoli affirms: "You took them off!"
The black shadow is really on fire, "It's really not me!"
Bai Xiaoli is full of curiosity, and the topic returns to the original point, "Why did you take off his pants?"
The black shadow is completely driven mad and punches towards Bai Xiaoli furiously, still screaming, "I told you, it’s not me!"
Bai Xiaoli doesn’t dodge at all and greets him with a punch.
Two fists bump into each other. The violent star power suddenly skyrockets, and then, like a balloon inflated to the limit, bursts into a blast!
The dense forest around is swept to lurch east and west. Cang Yan and Joyce resist the blow together in front of Long Lan by dint of their star power.
The two layers of star rings around the black shadow collapse inch by inch. Because of this punch, his whole person vomits blood and flows backwards with a stuff on his neck floating in the air.
Bai Xiaoli leaps forward, moving lightly like a butterfly among the flowers. He easily catches up with the black shadow flying backwards and carries the clothes on the chest of the black shadow. Staring at the stuff exposed outside for a while, Bai Xiaoli grabs it from the neck of the black shadow.
"Little Lanlan, is this your mother's necklace?" What Bai Xiaoli grabs is a necklace with a pendant beneath it.
Long Lan who is seriously shocked gets immediately irritated: "My mother's necklace is still at home!"
The black shadow gasps hard, "Give…give me back!"
Bai Xiaoli takes the necklace and swings it. "Is this a rune storage?"
"Give me back!" Holding a breath, the black shadow reaches out to grab the necklace, but he’s thrown away by Bai Xiaoli.
"I will take this stuff as a compensation from you for robbing the beast core." Bai Xiaoli takes it for granted to have this rune-storage-tool-like thing as his own.

The black shadow coughs up a mouthful of blood again which drips down the mask covering his face, and struggles to get up, "... Give me back the necklace!"
Bai Xiaoli looks at him with dead-fish eyes, "How can Lord Bai return what he has looted? Do you have anything else which is good with you? Hand it over all together. Lord Bai is looting you."
The black shadow understands that today he has encountered a hard nut. He originally thought that a few students from Tianjing College would not be too strong. He didn’t expect that this youngster who looked very unreliable and had no serious words turned out to be a big master!
Having a glance at the robbed necklace, the black shadow knows that it’s difficult to succeed today. Grinding his teeth, he turns back and disappears quickly into the dense forest of the night.
Bai Xiaoli doesn’t stop him as expected. Obviously, compared with that person, it’s the necklace in his hand which is more attractive for him.
Joyce says with surprise: "It really surprises me that you let him go."
Bai Xiaoli doesn’t raise his head, "We should be kind to our classmate."
Joyce is dumbfounded, "What classmate? You know him? "
Bai Xiaoli shakes his head, "I don't know."
Joyce is confused, "Then why you ..."
Bai Xiaoli: "He’s a student of Tianjing College."
Cang Yan comes over and looks at Bai Xiaoli up and down. Seeing he’s all right, Cang Yan rests assured, "How do you know that he’s a student of Tianjing College?"
Bai Xiaoli blinks his pair of big blue eyes, "He recognizes that we are the students of Tianjing College. If he’s not a student of Tianjing College, how does he know that we are the students of Tianjing College? He must have seen us at school.”
No, it's not "us", it's you. You have just entered the school, but you’re already so famous and special. It's hard to not know you.
Cang Yan and Joyce are lost in thought for a moment.
Joyce asks Cang Yan, "Who do you think it will be? If it’s really a student of Tianjing College, it can’t be an unknown. Even the genius like Vivian and Xie Anshen have only the strength in E grade Orange Star-I. If a student in E grade Orange Star-II suddenly appears, shouldn’t it cause a big sensation in the whole school?"
Cang Yan also doesn’t figure it out for a while. "The student who can reach E Grade Orange Star in his school period must be a well-known genius. Among those we know, there seems to be no such a person."
"Is Xiaoli guessing wrong? In fact, he has seen us in other places?" Joyce guesses.
Cang Yan is more inclined to believe Bai Xiaoli's judgment. No matter what his basis is, there should always be some basis ... probably.
"Go back first."
The three return to the foot of the mountain. Long Lan has already found his pants back and put them on. He’s holding up a metal stick to poke the ground angrily.
Seeing Long Lan, Bai Xiaoli is still curious about the pants, "Little Lanlan, you find your pants back?"
Long Lan is already depressed to death because of this incident and instantly he has his hair standing up on hearing that question, "Don't mention the pants again! If you want to fight with me, just mention the pants!"
Cang Yan's expression is also a little weird, and he coughs gently. "It's getting late. Come and eat a little, and then go back to the cave to sleep. Tomorrow we may be busy."
The matter of his pants being "taken off" completely becomes the shameful page of Long Lan.
But all start their actions without delaying according to the words of the captain.

8 121Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here.
