Chapter 66: Kidnapped

"Say that again!" Lu Xiaoqing yelled furiously, looking like a fierce tigress with her hands on her hips .

"Haha, I’m kidding, I'm kidding . Come in, take a seat . As the saying goes, joy is to have a faraway friend visiting! No, wait, that's wrong . You're not from very far away at all," Xiang Shaoyun laughed .

After a slight hesitation, Lu Xiaoqing stepped into the courtyard . Little White was sleeping to the side when she walked in . He opened his eyes and gave her a glance before ignoring her and resuming his sleep .

Recently, Little White had been focused on digesting the demonic core he had swallowed not long ago . He spent most of his time sleeping . When Lu Xiaoqing saw Little White, a cheery look covered her face, and she exclaimed, "Wow! Such a cute kitty!"

She ran over and tried lifting Little White . But before she could even get near him, he darted to a different spot with a flash .

"Meow!"

Little White yelled resentfully while glowering at Lu Xiaoqing, seemingly warning her against approaching him .

"Don't be rude, Little White . Shoo, go resume your sleep somewhere else," Xiang Shaoyun said .

But Little White did not move away . Instead, he leaped onto Xiang Shaoyun's shoulder .

"Shaoyun, is this your pet? He's so cute! I wish I had a kitten this cute, too!" Lu Xiaoqing said enviously .

"If you like beasts, I will get you a Demon King beast in the future!" Xiang Shaoyun promised generously .

"Pffft . You just can't stop bluffing, can you?" Lu Xiaoqing did not trust a word of that . Demon King was the demonic beast's equivalent of the human's King Realm . It wouldn't be that easy to get one .

"I knew nobody would trust me when I speak the truth . " Xiang Shaoyun shrugged helplessly . He spoke again, "Take a seat first . I'll go get something for you . " 

Then, Xiang Shaoyun entered the house . As for Lu Xiaoqing, she started getting nervous for no apparent reason .

H-he's g-going to give me something? What would it be? I-is he trying to confess to me? B-but I'm not prepared for that yet! Lu Xiaoqing thought to herself, her face red .

Soon, Xiang Shaoyun came out again . He was carrying a jade bottle . "Here, for you . "

Lu Xiaoqing looked at the jade bottle and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"Earth Star Spring," Xiang Shaoyun replied indifferently .

"T-this is Earth Star Spring? Y-you found it?" Lu Xiaoqing was startled .

"Nothing surprising about it . This young master is a beloved child of heaven, accompanied by good fortune wherever I go . If I want a spiritual treasure, it will come with a snap of my finger," Xiang Shaoyun said as he flung his hair around .

Xiang Shaoyun had always been quite handsome, and for some reason, flinging his hair really did work on causing the young lady's heartbeat to speed up .

Lu Xiaoqing was sent into a daze again, and instead of accepting the Earth Star Spring, she said, "I can't take something this valuable!"

"Stop dilly dallying . Just take it . Otherwise, I will take it as you looking down on me," Xiang Shaoyun grunted . He added, "If you refuse, I might as well throw it away . No point keeping it with me . "

"No, don't . Fine, I'll take it," Lu Xiaoqing said .

"That's more like it," Xiang Shaoyun said in satisfaction .

Lu Xiaoqing accepted the jade bottle, her heart thumping furiously as she thought to herself, Why is he treating me so nicely? H-has he fallen in love with me?

As Lu Xiaoqing was indulging her thoughts, Little White suddenly meowed, and his fur all stood up on end . He bared his fangs, as if a large enemy was approaching . The moment Xiang Shaoyun noticed Little White's behavior, he started paying attention to his surroundings . He was very clear on the sharp senses demonic beasts had . Little White wouldn't behave like that for no reason . But they were currently within the Martial Hall Palace . What danger could there be?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure streaked across the air like a phantom . Then, a black sack wrapped around Xiang Shaoyun from above . Even though Xiang Shaoyun was already on alert, he still couldn't react in time and was subdued just like that . Little White was the only one who could react in time . He leaped away and was able to avoid being captured together with Xiang Shaoyun .

"What the hell? What's going on?" Xiang Shaoyun cursed to himself before he started struggling .

"Keep still!" the kidnapper bellowed and slapped Xiang Shaoyun .

Bang!

The slap was extremely powerful, as it caused Xiang Shaoyun to spit blood with one attack . His inner organs almost exploded, and he fainted from the slap . No Astral Realm cultivator could unleash an attack like this . The kidnapper was at the very least a Transformation Realm expert .

Lu Xiaoqing was greatly frightened, and just as she was about to shout, a kick sent her flying . Fortunately, the kidnapper did not seem to intend to kill her . Otherwise, she would've been killed with one kick . Even so, she was still sent flying several meters and coughed up blood and fainted .

As for the kidnapper, he quickly left with Xiang Shaoyun . Not far from the residence, a carriage was waiting . The kidnapper directly leaped into the carriage with Xiang Shaoyun .

"Gya!" The coachman immediately whipped the horse, and the carriage sped toward Martial Hall Palace's exit .

"Meow!"

Little White was hot in pursuit, and shortly after, he caught up and hid beneath the carriage . The people on the carriage had their attention somewhere else so they did not notice Little White . The carriage arrived at the exit . The guards took a look at the coachman before stepping aside to make way for the elder's carriage . Upon leaving the Martial Hall Palace, the people on the carriage heaved a breath of relief . Next, the carriage headed toward Wu Clan's estate .

Meanwhile, Zi Changhe had just returned to Xiang Shaoyun's residence as he had suddenly had a bad feeling . However, when he had returned, he only found an unconscious Lu Xiaoqing . His face immediately fell . He rushed over and woke Lu Xiaoqing before asking, "What happened? Where's Xiang Shaoyun?"

"H-he was kidnapped!" Lu Xiaoqing struggled out a reply .

"Damn it!" Zi Changhe bellowed in fury .

Xiang Shaoyun was his junior brother and also had Elder Zhen Peng as his follower . Yet someone still dared to make a move against Xiang Shaoyun? That person was too brazen! After feeding Lu Xiaoqing a healing pill, Zi Changhe rushed to the exit .

"Did you see anyone leaving earlier?" Zi Changhe shouted at the guards .

"Nineteenth elder, too many people are coming and leaving today . May I know who you are looking for?" one guard replied nervously .

"I asked about earlier . Just a short while ago . Did you see any suspicious people leaving? My junior brother Xiang Shaoyun just got kidnapped . Have none of you noticed anything?" Zi Changhe roared .
