Chapter 271 (1/2)

The Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit's shadow flickered, its presence practically absent. If it was not for the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit having an aura footprint similar to the Thief Star's, Su Xing honestly could not sense it. Worthy of being called the Thief Star's Star Beast, it was incredible as expected.

Su Xing endured the sharp pain, not stopping his pursuit.

The Chaotic Tail Escape could be said to be an abnormal Escape Technique, especially its speed that left the Giant Roc Spreads Its Wings And Flies feeling inferior. But every time he used this Chaotic Escape Technique, his body would sustain grave injuries. First of all, it had its weaknesses, otherwise this Chaotic Tail Escape truly would be the pinnacle cultivation method of Liangshan, and neither did he know what sort of character that Daoist Master Toad was. How could he have created such a cultivation method that angered men and gods alike.

Chasing for a moment, the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit abruptly turned, its shadow indistinctly flashing. In front appeared an enormous lake. This lake's light was clear as a mirror's, azure and quiet, stretching as far as the eye could see. Although it could be said that only because the lake did not have a sea breeze's salty taste, it was nevertheless irregular.

”Fuck, it can't be.” Su Xing felt things were far from reassuring when he saw this, the Chaotic Tail Escape flying out and about to nab the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit.

The Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit distorted, breaking free of his hand. With a ”putong” sound, it unexpectedly jumped into the lake. Su Xing did not hesitate at all to dive into the lake, but the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit had shockingly disappeared without a trace.

Su Xing searched for a long time and did not find the den the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit was hiding in, so inwardly annoyed that he forgot about his injuries.

Climbing onto the bank, he sat atop a stone slab. Su Xing panted and shook his head. His whole body, because the Chaotic Tail Escape hurt terribly, was covered in blood, and he had to even ingest several pills. Fortunately, he did not fully use the Chaotic Tail Escape, otherwise his body would be unable to endure. It seemed this Chaotic Tail Escape could not be used often.

Sitting atop the shore, Su Xing on one hand pondered a solution to the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit. This rabbit now was borrowing the waterways to conceal itself. If he actually had to search for it in a perhaps ocean-like lake, that would truly be finding a needle in a haystack. It seemed he had to use other methods, and he wondered if Shi Yuan did not notice.

A moment later, Su Xing then saw Shi Yuan very urgently rush over.

Su Xing stood up, was just about to speak about the matter of the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit. How could he have anticipated that the Thief Star's eyes would be moist. Without saying a word, she threw herself into Su Xing's chest, just like a scene of meeting again after a life and death journey. Su Xing was frozen. How could the just still perfectly alright Shi Yuan be this emotional.

”Su Xing. What did you do.” Shi Yuan bit her lip, indignantly saying.

”What did I do?” Su Xing was at a loss. Seeing Shi Yuan's eyes unexpectedly had tears, he was instantly furious: ”Yuan'er, who bullied you.”

”It's you.” Shi Yuan puffed up her cheeks and snorted.

”Me?”

Su Xing still did not understand. Shi Yuan again anxiously looked at the injuries all over Su Xing's body. Seeing that leftover faint scar on his chest, she truly was angered to madness. ”Su Xing, who let you use that Escape Technique. How can This Young Lady explain this to the Sisters.”

So it was concern.

Su Xing's heart warmed, and he stroked her head: ”It's okay, Little Sister Suwen these days has been helping me with massages. My body's very robust.”

”Don't use it like this. There's still the other Elder Sisters after this. I don't want this.” Shi Yuan had a very serious expression. Su Xing using the Chaotic Tail Escape just now practically cut apart her heart, and she forgot all about the Star Beasts.

Su Xing knew that she was concerned for him, however, with Evil Smiting Hall so large, there was no danger. That moment just now truly was too urgent that Su Xing used the Chaotic Tail Escape. He also knew that this Escape Technique could not be so rashly used. He nodded, ”I promise you.”

Shi Yuan this time beamed in happiness and wiped the corner of her eyes.

”You can't actually be crying?” Su Xing froze.

”Why can't I cry…” Shi Yuan stared, saying: ”Just by seeing your whole body covered in blood, I just can't bear it. So loathsome, you don't care about This Young Lady at all!”

Su Xing's heart bubbled with a warm feeling.

”That Star Beast escaped, what do we do?” Su Xing steered things back on track.

”Oh, the Star Beast.” Shi Yuan then remembered. She shook her, indifferently saying: ”With a lake this big, it seems we won't find it. We'd better find others. If we can't find anything in a few hours, we might as well go back.”

Su Xing wanted to say something when Thief Star Shi Yuan giggled: ”Su Xing, you go wash your body clean first. This Young Lady will go look in the surroundings. The Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit's final den should be around here.”

Su Xing was also uncomfortable seeing his whole body covered in blood and nodded.

Seeing the lakewater in front of him so limpid, Su Xing undressed. To speak of it, it had been a long time since he had enjoyed something like this.

Just as he was savoring this, he suddenly heard rustling sounds behind a rock. Su Xing listened. How could he not know what Shi Yuan was doing, ”Yuan'er…”1

”What do you call This Young Lady for?”

A shy voice came from the side. Su Xing glanced out the corner of his eye, and he nearly leaked blood. He saw Shi Yuan was already stark naked, having taken off her skintight jumpsuit. The girl's figure was good. What should have curved out did, and what should have curved in also did. Her skin was glossy, and having only just seen Wu Siyou's body not long before, Su Xing thought he was experiencing deja vu. Then, he had an epiphany.

”Su Xing??” Shi Yuan softly called.

Su Xing returned to his senses. The girl unexpectedly already walked right to his front, wearing not a single thread, every minute detail visible. A youthful smell attacked him in the face, a burst of blood and qi straight to his dantian, surging straight to his forehead.

”Really, you. What would you do if other people saw you?” Su Xing raised his head, glancing up from the girl's valley.

Seeing Su Xing's somewhat bashful appearance, Shi Yuan's shyness greatly eased. She crouched, the charming and gentle scene finally considered to have eased by a lot. However, with a man and woman together, each not wearing anything, in a married couples' bath together, any way it was seen, this was romantic.
