Chapter 19 (1/2)

Volume 2 – Birth of Heaven’s First Dragon Sacrifice

Chapter J Confusion of the first night

“You want me to carry a drum with me all the time while promoting the glory of war-G.o.d Campas? You want to make a beautiful fox lady like myself, who holds the distinguished t.i.tle of a baron, carry an ugly drum on the battlefield?” Hailun almost bit her tongue off, “Well, what exactly do you want, Li Cha?”

“You asked my opinion, I gave you mine.” Liu Zhenhan felt aggrieved. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry in this situation.

“Humph!” Hailun turned her face the other way quite dramatically as if not in a mood to pay any attention to him.

Liu Zhenhan rolled his eyes then sighed loudly.

“What?” Hailun fell for it.

“It is such a pity.” Liu Zhenhan pointed his finger at the turtle’s skull and said, “Such a good Yalong beast does not have a nucleus, otherwise, after going back to your hometown, I would have surely attached it to a beautiful musical instrument for my dear Hailun.”

“So sweet, I feel honored.” Hailun’s beautiful dimples greeted his vision along with her adorable smile: “I do not know why there is no nucleus inside this model’s skull, but I would gladly accept if it had one.”

“Hey, you.” Liu Zhenhan grinned as he was thinking how easy it was to swindle a beauty with sweet talk. It was an easy tactic that worked well in both worlds.

“You are a fool.” Hailun smiled at him with a slight blush on her face.

“Ha-ha, a fool?” Liu Zhenhan started to laugh but his body gradually got stiff and choked his laughter midway. He felt like losing control over his body and staggered wildly like a drunkard before finally falling to the ground.

“What happened? Don’t tell me you are up to some mischief?” Hailun said as she got nervous.

Liu Zhenhan was gasping for breath and felt as if his head would explode any time now.

“What’s happening to you? Li Cha?” Hailun saw his face turning red-hot as she grabbed his arms and shook them fiercely.

“I don’t know, suddenly started to feel dizzy.” Liu Zhenhan took her support and tried to stand up but staggered all of a sudden and fell heavily on the ground. This fall was serious as his body smashed into the ground, splattering mud in all directions.

“Li Cha!” Hailun screamed and cast off the feather robe to one side while supporting his head on her lap.

“My body’s burning hot.” Liu Zhenhan felt like his whole body was on fire. He was very uncomfortable and struggling vigorously to control himself.

“I will go to the waterfall and get some water for you.” Hailun stood up and hastily picked up Liu Zhenhan’s machete. She mustered enough strength to cut a section of bamboo shoot. She just turned around and was about to head in the direction of the waterfall when she saw Fruit twitching on the ground. His body was stiff and his usual yellow fur had turned fiery red in color.

“Do not scare me you two!” Large beads of sweat were seeping out of her forehead.

“I am burning!” Liu Zhenhan was gasping for breath and started tearing his clothes. The white robe was torn into pieces by him, even the coconut sh.e.l.l underwear crumbled in the process.

“I will go fetch water, just hang in there.” Hailun quickly rushed toward the waterfall while not daring to look back and see what was happening to Liu Zhenhan and Fruit. Right now, her dear Li Cha was hammering the ground with his hands and the great strength contained in those blows was astonis.h.i.+ng. Fruit was lying on the other side and similarly pounding the ground with his small paws.

The acid type Osprey bird was frightened by this scene and flew up into the sky and began to circle around, not daring to come down. Hailun completely panicked at this moment and tried her best to fetch water and go back as soon as possible.

“Water, water.” Liu Zhenhan was gasping as he firmly grasped his own neck. Hailun came back and saw a monster’s figure appearing on his chest and neck. She had never seen this before on his body.

(TL Note: She saw his dragon tattoo for the first time.)

She gritted her teeth and noticed that both Li Cha and Fruit had already fainted while the area around them was in complete mess as if trampled by an elephant.

Hailun took one sip of water and slowly fed it to her dear Li Cha. She never thought that she would be saving him like this, just the way he saved her not long ago. The very thought made her blush for a second but she immediately realized the severity of the situation and the look on her face turned back into a serious one.

“Ah!” The bamboo tube almost fell off her hand.

Her body s.h.i.+vered as she saw an enormous horrifying thing sticking proudly out of Liu Zhenhan’s lower body. The power of ‘yang’ was gus.h.i.+ng through the bulging veins, ballooning to its utmost.

Hailun clenched her teeth as if experiencing the coldest chill ravaging her being. Her face suddenly turned red like a hot furnace, perhaps even redder than Liu Zhenhan’s.

Holy Campas! Is this the wooden club of an ogre?

Hailun was gasping as her face became redder with pa.s.sing time. She felt weak in her knees as if her body was melting slowly. As the dizziness took over, she prohibited herself from thinking about all that in the hope to calm her berserk heartbeats.

She quickly picked up the feather robe and covered Liu Zhenhan’s body then rushed to feed water to Fruit in a similar fas.h.i.+on. However, she also discovered that the little thing’s crotch had also given rise to a tiny monster, peeking through the soft fur.

“Two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” Hailun used one of her two sultry hot hands to cover her face while the other hand to quench the thirst of the two monsters one at a time.

After a cold and soothing session, Fruit’s little monster was satisfied and went back to its den. Fruit’s condition got better and a serene look appeared on his face as he fell asleep.

But the same did not work on Li Cha. His face continued to turn redder and so did his monster, which seemed almost on the verge of explosion.

“What should I do?” Hailun was anxiously rubbing her hands while her red tail was swinging back and forth nonstop. As she was wandering back and forth with her heart in utter confusion, she stepped on an egg sh.e.l.l and it made a ‘crack’ sound.

“Could it be that this egg’s the reason behind all this?” Hailun immediately speculated but then got depressed the next moment. She was just a sacrifice, not a Beamon witch doctor. She did not have a method to find out what was causing this.

She against started to pace back and forth, trying to think what she must do now to save Liu Zhenhan.

“Lord Campas! Must I really sacrifice my corolla to save Li Cha?” Hailun remembered the fox clan’s legend and was left with only one choice right now. As to whether this method would work according to the legends or not, she had no idea.
