Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 133: Xiao Chou collapses, fleeing a thousand miles

Xiao Chou was noticed by an immortal while buying medicine and was thus recruited into the Mountain Movers Sect. It has been five years since then.

After the Qin army\'s plundering and bombardment, the Xiao family suffered heavy casualties but managed to survive.

They were one of the few surviving families in Chuyang City.

Xiao Chou was severely injured and bedridden for half a year before recovering.

"Xiao Chou, now that the Qin Kingdom is in power, you can\'t act recklessly like before. Be careful with your words!"

"Don\'t worry, Dad. I\'m not a fool. I came back to save you all. As long as the Xiao family is safe, that\'s all that matters."

After his father\'s repeated warnings, Xiao Chou packed his bags and left Chuyang City.

After resting for half a year, it was time to return to the Mountain Movers Sect.

Just before leaving, he suddenly heard an explosion from the inner city, startling him. Looking into the distance, he saw a thundercloud rising in the sky, emitting a terrifying purple light.

After some inquiries, he learned that the Heavenly Dragon Casino had angered a fierce individual who blew up the commercial district, leveling it to the ground.

It was said that the fierce individual was a disciple of the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

"Is the Heavenly Puppet Sect really that fierce?"

Xiao Chou muttered to himself.

"That\'s right, the Heavenly Puppet Sect is that strong!"

Behind him, a graceful and stunningly beautiful young girl smiled.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin as delicate as a budding peony, beautiful but not seductive, more attractive than most girls Xiao Chou had seen.

"Why are you still in Chuyang City?" Xiao Chou\'s heart stirred, and he asked in confusion.

The girl\'s name was Xiao Lan, a disciple of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. She was the one who had saved him from being devoured by wild beasts in the wilderness.

Strictly speaking, this girl was his savior.

"I\'m here to take you back to the Heavenly Puppet Sect. You are a disciple personally chosen by our ancestor. If I don\'t bring you back, I can\'t explain it." Xiao Lan smiled.

"I\'m a disciple of the Mountain Movers Sect, I\'m not going to the Heavenly Puppet Sect." Xiao Chou refused.

"Fine, then I\'ll go with you to the Mountain Movers Sect."

Xiao Lan put her hands on her hips and followed behind, smiling like a flower.

Xiao Chou\'s body stiffened, and he could only shake his head helplessly and walk ahead.

At this moment, five miles behind.

In a small hut, a burly man with a black face, covered in muscles and a full beard, dressed in the black robe commonly worn by Heavenly Puppet Sect disciples, sat.

The man was picking his toes and sneering, "Heh, I heard this Xiao Chou likes women. I\'ve brought out the best Xiao Lan No. 1. I don\'t believe I can\'t handle him!"

"Be proactive later!"

The man grinned mischievously.

He was under orders from his sect to bring this perfect Foundation Establishment individual back to the Heavenly Puppet Sect by any means necessary.

After investigating Xiao Chou\'s background, he decisively used his best tactic, the beauty trap. For someone like Xiao Chou, who lacked affection, this tactic was undoubtedly very effective.

The man thought for a moment, controlled Xiao Lan to follow, and took out an exquisite gift.

Just then.

A large yellow dog suddenly burst into the hut, barking at him, "Gongshu Yi, come with me immediately to chase someone!"

Gongshu Yi\'s face changed slightly, "Elder Dog?"

"Stop talking nonsense. The person who blew up the Heavenly Dragon Casino just left the city. Follow me to chase him immediately!" The yellow dog urged.

"But I have a task. I need to bring Xiao Chou back!" Gongshu Yi hurriedly said.

Before he could finish his sentence, the hut exploded, and Gongshu Yi was lifted into the air, flying into the sky.

Along with him, his puppet Xiao Lan No. 1 also soared into the sky.

……

Xiao Chou walked along the road, his face calm, but his heart was anything but calm.

Being followed by the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, who said she wanted to go back to the Mountain Movers Sect with him.

Xiao Chou had never even held a girl\'s hand in his life. It was impossible not to have thoughts.

"Calm down, calm down. This girl has ulterior motives. She just wants to take me to the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Don\'t fall for it!" Xiao Chou kept reminding himself.

He quickened his pace, walking ahead without looking back, but the occasional whiff of fragrance and the sound of her silver bell-like laughter kept stirring his heart.

"Xiao Chou, this is a puppet I made. Do you like it?"

Suddenly, Xiao Lan skipped up to him, holding a palm-sized wooden puppet that looked just like Xiao Chou, and handed it to him.

"Here, it\'s for you!" Xiao Lan playfully smiled and placed the puppet in the dazed Xiao Chou\'s hands.

"This..." Xiao Chou\'s face instantly turned red.

In his life, he had only ever fawned over others, never had a girl given him a gift, let alone such a delicate puppet.

Xiao Chou\'s heart raced uncontrollably.

What was this feeling?

What feeling?

That\'s right! This was the feeling of being moved!

Xiao Chou\'s hand holding the puppet trembled, as if it was about to activate some long-forgotten bloodline power.

Just then.

A sudden explosion sounded in the distance, a house shattered, and a black-faced man flew out, dragged by a yellow dog.

At the same time, Xiao Lan also flew into the sky, still smiling, caught by the yellow dog and put into a storage bag.

The black-faced man looked at the bewildered Xiao Chou, grinned awkwardly, and said roughly, "Brother Xiao, sorry, Xiao Lan has urgent matters. She\'ll play with you next time."

With that, the black-faced man and a large group of yellow dogs behind him sped away, flying towards the horizon.

Leaving Xiao Chou standing alone, like a clown, motionless.

Xiao Chou stood there, as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.

The puppet in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

His dazed face gradually twisted into a contorted expression.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A hysterical roar erupted from his throat, sounding like a madman.

He understood what had just happened. He had been played again, played again! Played again!!

"I swear, if I ever touch a woman again, I\'ll castrate myself on the spot! Castrate! Castrate!!"

Xiao Chou immediately took out a knife, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn\'t go through with it. Instead, he howled at the sky, his voice more grating than a pig being slaughtered.

…………

In the rushing river.

Xu Hei tied himself to a piece of driftwood, swallowed several pills, and entered a state of quiet healing.

Whether it was due to exhaustion or the severe injuries from the thunder tribulation, making recovery difficult, Xu Hei\'s vision darkened, and he almost fainted.

"No, I need to find a safe place."

Xu Hei inhaled an Awakening Pill, boosting his spirits, and focused on healing.

The driftwood floated downstream. Xu Hei glanced at the map. At this rate, he would eventually reach the Mountain Movers Sect area, but the journey was long and would take several days.

Suddenly, Xu Hei was startled.

He took out a detection jade plate and saw a red dot appear a hundred miles away.

Judging by the size of the red dot, the person was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Mid-Foundation Establishment... can I counter-kill?"

This thought flashed through Xu Hei\'s mind but was quickly dismissed.

The other party wouldn\'t be foolish enough to send just one person to chase him. Who knew what else was behind?

The experts in the gambling house made Xu Hei realize that the detection jade plate wasn\'t foolproof. There were still ways to hide from it, like puppets, which couldn\'t be detected!

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly accelerated, heading towards the river.

Xu Hei was sure that he had concealed himself well before entering the river, so the other party must be following his previous scent.

Xu Hei immediately took a deep breath, used the Gravity Technique on the driftwood, and the driftwood shot forward like an arrow, sliding downstream.

"Ma Teng, I found you. Come out and die!"

Behind him, the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator\'s shout echoed, but Xu Hei ignored it.
