Chapter 238 - 236. Scram!! I (1/2)

Third-person POV

The young boy stared at Hong er for quite a while then grabbed her hand again to write on her palm.

'I will check your wounds.'

Hong er nodded her head and followed the young boy by placing her hand on his shoulder. The young boy untied the bandages and cleaned up the wounds then replaced them with new bandages and medicine. After he was done changing the bandages, he wrote a message on her palm.

'Don't move too much.'

Hong er obediently nodded her head and used her hand to feel the cold stone that she was sitting on. She tilted her head and continued to grope around. She found the stone that she was sitting on was warmer than usual and it had different texture compare to the seat where she usually sat.

Since she lost two of her senses, her sight and her hearing ability, her smell and skin's sensibility increased immensely. Then she sniffed the air a few times and noticed that the air around her was more humid. The young boy was resting beside her when he noticed her unusual behavior. He offered his palm for her to write on.

'Where are we?' Hong er wrote down.

'Inside a mountain.' The young boy answered.

Hong er's mouth opened in shock, she used both of her hands to make a triangle as she murmured inaudibly.

(A/N: No offense to anyone, Hong er can make sounds but she can't speak clear words nor can she talk because her memory was changed and in her memory, she has been deaf since she was born. So she didn't know how to pronounce words.)

'Yes,' the young boy responded.

Hong er panicky pulled the young boy's hand and wrote with trembling hand, 'Aren't mountain full of hot liquids?'

The young boy chuckled as he found Hong er getting panic over lava was very funny, 'No. This mountain is special.'

Hong er's lips formed into ”o”. The cave was so quiet that the sound of water dripping could be heard loud and clear by the young boy. The young boy yawned out of boredom, at this time, usually, he would be asleep.

Since he couldn't fall asleep because he had to keep a lookout on the intruders, to prevent himself from fall asleep, he stared at Hong er who was carefreely humming a melody while her fingers tapping her thigh along the melody.

'What a beautiful melody.' The young boy praised in his heart.

Once in a while, he could feel a shiver ran down his spine.

'This mortal brat, he dared to use his inner sight. Hmph! Who do you think I am?! I am the guardian of the Cursed Land and one of the high-rank demon from the underworld! Tao Qi! Since Hong er is in a good mood, I will not kill you, mortal brat!' Tao Qi cursed as he clenched his jaw in irritation.

Tao Qi swept his hand across the mirror frame that was filled with water rather than a mirror glass. Then an image of Weisheng destroying every bit of the Illusion Mist that Tao Qi cast to drive them out. He slapped the stone table as the effort that he put on to cast the spell went to waste because of Weisheng's rampage.

His body abruptly froze when an idea came to his mind. The corner of his lips arched into an evil smile.

'Let's see how you deal with this! Ahahaha!' Tao Qi raised one of his feet on to the table and laughed mischievously.
