516 The Immaculate Black and the Holy White (2/2)
The little white dog began flying around Shi Xiaobai like an energetic pixie. Seeing Shi Xiaobai about to finish the pearls, it immediately prostrated and vomited again.
This time, it vomited gold that filled the ground!
Shi Xiaobai could not help but laugh and shake his head.
This tiny body actually hid a mountain of gold in it?
If he were to return it a hundredfold, how much was it?
Shi Xiaobai grinned.
If a country's wealth was insufficient, then all the world's wealth would be given to it!
As Shi Xiaobai ate, the little white dog vomited. It went from gold to necklaces to weapons to treasured artifacts and various precious treasures. What the little white dog vomited could match the vault of a prominent family clan's. And all of it ended up in Shi Xiaobai's stomach, allowing him to use the Power of Taotie to convert it into 'nutrition' that strengthened his body and 'anti-poison' that cleansed the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison'!
Shi Xiaobai's black skin gradually faded away. It went from his collarbone to his neck, to his lips and finally to his nose's wing. Finally, his entire head was restored to its original color. As for the lower body, it went from below his navel to his lower abdomen and thighs...In the meantime, Shi Xiaobai had pulled his pants and taken a look. Even ”little Xiaobai” had turned back to its original color but it felt somewhat weird.
But in short, Shi Xiaobai, who had his body invaded by the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison', had nearly experienced a full recovery. Up to that moment, only a tiny portion of his forearm and calves had not been fully restored. He was almost done with his treatment!
However, the little white dog was done vomiting its treasures!
”Woof!”
The little white dog barked anxiously as it tried to regurgitate what it had eaten, but nothing came out!
Even the richest vault could be depleted. The ten thousand years the Thousand Eyed Demon Sovereign had used to accumulate its treasures, including treasures it had snatched from trial-takers, had been completely finished by Shi Xiaobai!
The little white dog vomited dryly a few times with eyes brimming with tears.
Shi Xiaobai gave a consoling smile as he stroked the little white dog. He said, ”It's enough. You have already done enough. Leave it to This King to think of a solution next!”
The little white dog looked up at Shi Xiaobai and realized that its owner's brows were relaxed. His eyes were brilliant and he exuded a refreshing exuberance. Immediately, it calmed down and gave a few fawning barks. It once again circled Shi Xiaobai in happiness.
Shi Xiaobai had smiled warmly, pretending that everything was fine. However, he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
With just a tiny portion of his forearm and calves not healed, it was a tiny bit short of a full recovery. But this tiny bit was a chasm!
He had used the Massage Technique of God to temporarily freeze and abate the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison' from triggering. Although most of his body had been cleansed of the poison, the moment the frozen 'Holy Tree Sin Poison' in the tiny portion of his forearm and calves triggered again, it would instantly spread through his body, wasting all his efforts!
A drop of poison and a body of poison was qualitatively the same. That was how terrifying the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison' was!
Therefore, he needed to cleanse the poison completely to be thoroughly saved!
However, even the little white dog had vomited its entire 'treasure vault'. With less than two minutes left, how was he to find the food needed to cleanse his forearms and calves?
Shi Xiaobai quickly pondered over the matter. In order to not worry the little white dog, he did not show his worries on his face.
Hum! Hum!
Two clear sword hums suddenly resonated!
Shi Xiaobai lowered his head in surprise and saw a black sword and a white sword appear automatically into his palm. They floated in mid-air and began to emit resonating sword hums.
The two swords had some basic forms of intelligence. They were like newborns and were very intimate with Shi Xiaobai. They had even once been 'jealous' of each other because of Shi Xiaobai.
But now, they had suddenly appeared on their own initiative. Why did they do so?
Shi Xiaobai had, in fact, a mysterious tacit understanding with the two swords. Upon hearing their humming, Shi Xiaobai roughly understood what they were trying to express.
Shi Xiaobai suddenly had a drastic change in expression when he listened to them carefully.
”What!? Eat the both of you!?”
Shi Xiaobai's expression changed. The swords had issued anxious sword hums to express their desire for Shi Xiaobai to eat them!
”Impossible!”
Shi Xiaobai immediately rejected the thought and said solemnly, ”Both of you are This King's swords. You are This King's partners, not This King's food!”
How could Shi Xiaobai eat the swords that had fought alongside him? Even if they were scrap metal, he would absolutely not eat them. Furthermore, the two swords had some nascent intelligence. It was only a matter of time before they gave birth to a sword spirit. They were no different from two newborn babies.
Even if he had to cut his arms and legs off, Shi Xiaobai would not eat them!
Shi Xiaobai drew a deep gasp and forced himself to calm down. He said gently to the two swords, ”Don't worry. It's only a small problem. This King will resolve it very quickly.”
With the little white dog as a precedent, Shi Xiaobai knew he could not reveal his nervousness and frustrations or they would only end up worrying.
Just like how parents who had worked arduously at work, they would feign normality no matter how exhausted they were when they reached home. It was to prevent their children from worrying.
Shi Xiaobai grinned and said in high spirits, ”Believe in This King!”
Shi Xiaobai lifted his hands, intending to keep the black and white swords.
However, at that moment, the black and white swords suddenly issued a clear and resonating sword hum. It sounded like a tune of lofty mountains and flowing water that unfolded at a magnificent scale. The tune affirmed their decision!
”No!”
Just as Shi Xiaobai cried out, the black sword suddenly slashed at the white sword while the white sword abruptly cleaved at the black sword!
A clang was heard!
The black and white swords shattered simultaneously as the fragments of the sword scattered like black and white snowflakes!
At that moment, it was as though the world only had two colors left—immaculate black and holy white.IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
