Chapter 71: I Hate This Bone! (2/2)
”Has something within me awakened?” Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself.
”Y-young master, y-you might have awakened the lightning bone unique to the Xiang Clan!” the old drunkard cried out, his voice s.h.i.+vering.
”Xiang Clan's lightning bone? Yes, that's possible.” Xiang Shaoyun nodded.
When the old drunkard saw how indifferent Xiang Shaoyun was, he couldn't help but say, ”Young master, are you not happy? Even sect master himself has lived a life of regret for not being able to awaken his lightning bone. Now that you have awakened yours, he would be gratified to find out!”
”Should I even feel happy? My father is after all an abandoned child of that clan. I hate that clan, and I hate this bone!” Xiang Shaoyun said, fury covering his face.
”Ohh...young master, forget about them. In any case, awakening this lightning bone will be a great help in increasing your combat power. It will also make your future revenge much easier,” the old drunkard said.
”Um,” Xiang Shaoyun merely groaned in response. He then said, ”Let's go. Bring all these things to my place, and you can leave after that. In about 8 or 10 years, we will return to the sect!”
”Yes, young master!” replied the old drunkard, a yearning look on his face. In the past, he felt that his young master was too young and innocent, wasting his talent away by refusing to cultivate. But now, he was looking at his young master in a completely new light.
Xiang Shaoyun and the old drunkard left the hidden room and arrived at the abandoned building.
”Meow!”
As soon as Xiang Shaoyun appeared, a cry rang out, and a white flash pounced on him. Little White then appeared in his arms. Xiang Shaoyun petted Little White and said, ”Little guy, I've caused you to be anxious.”
Little White rubbed his head against Xiang Shaoyun's palm and licked the palm intimately, filling Xiang Shaoyun's heart with warmth.
”Here, you can have this stalk of old medicine,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he fed Little White a stalk of old medicine. Little White did not bother holding back and immediately swallowed the old medicine.
”Meow!”
After swallowing the stalk, Little White meowed for more.
”Haha, you're such a glutton. Fine, you can eat your fill today!” Xiang Shaoyun laughed and proceeded to feed Little White a few more stalks of old medicine. Only after eating all of them was Little White satisfied.
The old drunkard said, ”Young master, this striped tiger cub is most likely a king species, but it's not suited to be your mount, right?”
”It's fine. Since he is now with me, I will make him strong. A day will come when he is the strongest demonic tiger in existence!” Xiang Shaoyun declared confidently.
And when Little White heard Xiang Shaoyun's declaration, he howled to echo the same sentiment.
”Alright, let's go. It's time to repay them for this favor,” Xiang Shaoyun said.
Thus, they headed back to the Martial Hall Palace. This time, the old drunkard with one hand carried Xiang Shaoyun, and they moved at an incredibly fast speed. An ordinary person couldn't even see them. In the span of a few breaths, Xiang Shaoyun was already back at his residence.
