Chapter 108 : The Tiger’s Roar over Green Maple Town
An iron bell laid in the woodshed with its surface covered by yellow rust. It was etched with circular patterns and was brimming with a peculiar rhythm.
Why was there a large iron bell with writings on it here? It seemingly depicting a major event that happened in the past.
Sitting next to the iron bell, Feng Feiyun felt very helpless. His finger couldn’t help but trace along the bell’s surface. It was a truly ordinary iron bell, not made from any diluted spirit steels, yet it was extremely heavy, exceeding more than ten thousand jin. It was heavier than Feng Feiyun’s expectations by more than ten times.
If it was truly made from ordinary metal, then it would not be possible to be this heavy!
“Thump Thump!”
Feng Feiyun made a fist, knocked on the surface, and put his ear close to it to listen!
“Ommmm ommmm!”
A terrifying sound came from within. If Feng Feiyun didn’t retreat quickly, then this sound would have shattered his eardrums.
“Just the sound created from my knocking fist was enough to shockingly ache my eardrums, this iron bell is truly not ordinary!”
This iron bell still exuded the stench of blood. Maybe it was soaked in a pool of blood, or it perhaps killed a Ju Qing once and the blood of this Ju Qing still stained the surface until now.
Feng Feiyun stood up with both feet planted into the ground. His two hands held the iron bell and he furiously exerted strength; he wanted to lift up this iron bell. He felt that there was truly something inside. It was a strange feeling that stemmed from his spiritual awareness.
With such a large iron bell, even if a dead corpse was inside, it would be completely plausible!
“There isn’t a dead corpse inside, right?”
Feng Feiyun slightly lifted up the iron bell and felt an extraordinary and indescribable presence. It seemed to be breathing with a very slow speed, an unusually slow speed. Plus, this presence did not feel like it was from a human.
Feng Feiyun’s hands were not only shaking, but even cold sweat began to pour from his body. If he truly lifted this iron bell, could he be releasing a horrible creature from inside?
Right when Feng Feiyun was hesitating, there was the sound of chaotic and rushed footsteps from the outside. Just by hearing the footsteps, Feng Feiyun immediately knew that Ji Xiaonu was coming.
It was this little girl that he didn’t like again!
“Crankkk!”
The door was pushed open, and it was indeed Ji Xiaonu.
Feng Feiyun was still lying on the ground next to the pyre. It was as if he hadn’t moved at all.
Ji Xiaonu bit her lips and disdainfully stared at Feng Feiyun’s disheveled hair along with his ragged and dirty clothes. This beggar had not taken a bath nor washed his face in who knows how many days. His face was covered with dirt, and his eyes and nose were no longer recognizable.
“Hey! Come with me!”
Ji Xiaonu said.
“Hey this, hey that. I am a person with a last name and a given name. My name is Feng Feiyun.”
Feng Feiyun arched his back and stood up from the ground with a smile on his face. Then he concernedly asked:
“Where is your big sister?”
Ji Xiaonu stared at his despicable face and became even more uncomfortable. This beggar was still dwelling on her big sister; he is truly a frog wanting to eat a swan. He should look into the mirror for a little bit to see his own appearance!
“Brat, I am warning you: forget about my sister! Otherwise, I will not be as courteous to you!”
Ji Xiaonu narrowed her eyes and waved her five, cute fingers in front of Feng Feiyun. Then, she turned them into a tender and white fist.
Feng Feiyun wasn’t taking her threat seriously, but he asked:
“Of course I don’t have this courage, I was simply just asking!”
“Today, I will bring you to meet an important senior. My big sister already went there first to prepare so we will go right now as well!”
Ji Xiaonu looked at Feng Feiyun’s clothing and continuously shook her head. Finally, she said:
“Meeting this senior today is not a joke. Why not take a bath first, so that it wouldn’t be so distasteful in front of him. Why are you just standing there?”
Feng Feiyun was was indeed in a daze and only regained his wits after a while. He helplessly waved his arms around and muttered:
“Isn’t this a little too fast? I have not prepared anything!”
Ji Xiaonu was also stunned. Then she suddenly understood that the beggar was having strange thoughts again. She angrily stepped on his feet and said:
“Do you really think that my sister thinks highly of you? What are you doing? You’re only daydreaming.”
