Chapter 180 - Shaosi
The sounds of footsteps were loud and clear, and everyone on the square heard it.
At the moment the footsteps were heard, Taisi had been persuading Ji Hao to swallow that sphere of life-force with an evil smile on his face, looking like a ghost which was trapped in the water and was eagerly looking for someone else to replace it. But once he heard the footsteps that sounded like the rings of a silver bell, Taisi’s scrawny body instantly quivered, and his nail-like bony face suddenly twisted. He immediately ran behind Ji Hao, just like a frightened mouse.
Ji Hao was unaware why Taisi acted like such, and turned his head in the direction where the footsteps were coming and was trying to find the reason out.
A white silhouette walked over. The person was wearing simple white flax clothes, thin soled boots made from the tendons and leather of beasts, and her waist was wrapped around by a black belt, which was also made from the tendons of a beast. Her long hair was hanging loosely on her back and was swaying slightly with her movements.
Ji Hao’s eyes were shining suddenly, and the burning intention of fighting that had been lingering in his mind, seemed to have disappeared by about thirty percent, for no apparent reason.
Looking at this girl, who was walking over quickly, Ji Hao couldn’t help but think of his close friend back in the Southern Wasteland, Heng Luo. Heng Luo always had looked as if she had the essence and life force of the entire mountain gathered within her. She was as beautiful as a dream, and would make people feel that she was too stunning to be real.
As for the girl who was walking over towards Ji Hao and Taisi, she was perhaps particularly favoured by the world and had been gifted a special power that made her seem quite heavenly. She seemed like a small white flower that had been nourished by the purest and most intelligent power of the entire world. When she walked into the square that was filled with apprentices and covered in altering shadows, Ji Hao felt as if all the other apprentices had suddenly become very vague silhouettes in a watercolour painting. It seemed as if the presence of all the others could serve only as a foil to show how special and extraordinary she truly was.
The most elegant and graceful white flower-like girl had walked into the square, seemingly from out a watercolour painting.
Ji Hao grabbed Taisi’s neck and carried Taisi out from behind him and then put Taisi firmly back onto the ground. He pointed at the girl while laughing and said, “Haha, Taisi, are you afraid of this little girl?”
Taisi seemed so seriously nervous that his forehead even had began sweating. He stared at the girl who was still over a hundred zhang away from him, and started talking while stuttering.
“Shao…Shaosi, it’s no…not me, I didn’t start this…it’s them. They…ha…have been bullying…Ji…brother Ji Hao stood up for me.”
Taisi let out a few hollow laughs, then suddenly thrust his hand out, pointed at the sphere with life force in Ji Hao’s hand and continued in a trembling voice, “Shaosi, ha…hahaha, you see, how strange it is… brother Ji Hao…he…he knows how to use the [Life-Taking Magic] as well…ha…haha…how strange…”
Ji Hao held the sphere of life force that weighed over a hundred-thousand stones, without knowing how to respond.
Shaosi walked over. She was extremely beautiful but her expression was bland and cold, like that of an iceberg. When she walked close to Ji Hao, Ji Hao sensed a faint and nice fragrance blowing across his face along with a breeze. He subconsciously took a deep breath, and felt as if he was standing on a grassland during spring in the morning that just had a light rain last night. This fragrance he sensed from this girl, who was named Shaosi, somehow touched Ji Hao a little bit.
Ji Hao looked at Shaosi, then turned his eyes towards Jiang Yong, who was held by a few other Southern Wasteland Society’s boys, shook his head, sighed, then said honestly, “Jiang Yong, this girl is indeed too good for you.”
Jiang Yong had received a hard beating by Ji Hao earlier, and couldn’t even stand up straight by himself till now. He glared at Ji Hao with a really darkened face, while clenching his fist hard till it even let out creaking sounds.
The other Southern Wasteland Society’s boys glared at Ji Hao in rage as well, the anger in their eyes seemed like it was about to turn into real fire, which would burn Ji Hao and Taisi into ashes. Quite a few among them showed lust when they looked at Shaosi, just like Jiang Yong did.
Shaosi stood in front of Ji Hao, blandly glancing at Ji Hao with a pair of eyes that looked like a cold pool of water that was deep in a snow-covered mountain.
