”Oh, his eyes... ”
No one knew that a handsome young man had been standing atop the roof. It was the man that had previously appeared in Qingyang Market. He had intended to go deep into Misty Mountain to pluck herbs, but when entering into a small village on the edge of Misty Mountain, he had come across a black bear foraging for food and then followed it here.
Of course, he was not a man who would do a courageous act for a just cause, and he had no intention to defend the village. He was the sort who always acted according to his feelings, and it was curiosity that drove him to follow the black bear... just to see what would happen. He just wanted to ease the boredom of the journey, and had not expected to witness such an incident.
When Little Shiba dashed toward the black bear, the handsome young man could not help grinning, laughing at this boy's audacity. He was very surprised that a boy, only three or four years old, should be able to stand up after suffering such a heavy blow! At least, it seemed that his willpower was certainly excellent. Because of this, he gazed at Little Shiba appreciatively and got ready to give him a hand. Just at that moment, he caught sight of Little Shiba's eyes.
Little Shiba roared, and a plume of thick blood appeared in his eyes. It looked just like the clouds of the evening sunset reflecting a red glow across half the sky, clear and bright ruby-red. His pupils darkened against the thick blood. Around his pupils, a faint circle of black veins loomed up, showing some hint of devilishness and mystery.
It seems just like those eyes from the legends! But it's said that such eyes have become extinct. How can they appear here? Well, he seems to know a bit about martial arts, although his Internal Qi still seems somewhat superficial and diffused... it's better than nothing. Let me have a look at the boy with such a pair of legendary eyes and see just how much ability does he have.
The Younger retracted the index finger of his right hand. With great interest, he fixed his eyes on Little Shiba, who had been standing up staggering when the black bear made a lunge for him.
”Hey, boy, do not let me down. Otherwise, I'll eliminate everyone here! Ah ha ha... ” The Younger let out a grin, spreading an atmosphere of bleakness with his cold breath.
The black bear was so fast that it rushed in front of Little Shiba in the blink of an eye. He wielded his colossal paws, slapping Little Shiba.
Seeing that the black bear was so fast and so close to Little Shiba, Zhou Hua and Wang Tianlei's parents all covered their eyes. They would never have thought that Little Shiba could escape from such a dangerous situation.
Ordinarily, there would indeed have been no chance for Little Shiba to escape. But he twisted his body and rolled on the ground just as the black bear launched his attack. A blinding flash of strange light was sparkling in his devilish eyes.
At that crucial moment, he suddenly saw a world that was totally different from all that he had known before.
In his eyes, the whole world slowed down, just like in those slow-motion scenes on TV in his previous life. He could even see clearly that the black bear had slowed down when lunging toward his head, thus enabling him to dodge easily.
So, he gently twisted his body to dodge the black bear and then unintentionally fell into a somersault, rolling toward an axe that he had dropped before. With a quick yank, he pulled it into his hand.
Failing to knock Little Shiba down, the black bear flew into a rage and swooped down upon him, snarling.
This was his chance!
Aware that the black bear was about to pounce on him again, an idea flashed through his mind. He shrank back, turned a somersault, and seized the opportunity to give the bear a fierce slash.
At that time, the black bear was roaring and did not see that Little Shiba was about to hack at him, so it did not dodge the axe. Little Shiba took this advantage and with all his strength chopped deep into the bear's throat.
Hacking at the bear had drained Little Shiba's strength. He turned over and lay on his side, unconscious.
”Little Shiba... ” Zhou Hua called in a squeaky voice. Then, she felt a burst of pain in her abdomen.
”What rotten luck! She's going into labor!”
The Younger's face contorted upon seeing Zhou Hua. His figure flashed by and then disappeared from the roof. Almost at the same time, a crowd of people, hearing the cry, flooded into the courtyard. However, they were too late, just like the cops in American TV shows.

What's this place? What am I doing here?!
Little Shiba was aching all over and, as if he had been tied up, he could not move his body. But at least he felt that his mind was still clear.
But this feels wrong! Did I have a nightmare or something?
Soon, Little Shiba confirmed that something was wrong. The feeling, which he often encountered in his previous life, was not strange to him. It was a nightmare. A nightmare might be a rare experience for ordinary people, but he had suffered a lot on account of his heart problem. Especially when he was having an afternoon nap, he often felt that there was a ghost on his bed.
So he was not nervous, but thought gloomily in his mind, ”Could it be possible that I have a heart problem in this life too? Perhaps the black bear damaged my heart and so the nightmares from my previous life are beginning to repeat? Oh, what is... My tendons? My veins?”
Soon, Little Shiba realized what was different about this nightmare. In his previous life, even if he had a sober consciousness, what he saw and heard could be quite obscure. But now, what he saw was extremely clear. He could distinguish every vein, every bone, and even the Internal Qi that was scurrying around in his body.
