My Big Brother is Seeking Death Again - Chapter 24: Grace of saving a life

Chapter 24: Grace of saving a life

It all started with a spiritual root test. When she arrived with Niu Niu, Xuan Lin was being tested, and it was found that he had three spiritual roots; gold, wood and fire. When he saw them, he was obviously a bit nervous, after all, abandoning his young sister wouldn’t give him a good reputation.

He held back at first, until Niu Niu was tested as a mutant wind spirit root.

Shi Xia didn’t understand what it meant, but looking at the three disciples of the Huang Shengyin Sect standing up on the stage with ecstatic expressions, she understood that it must be a rare spiritual root. They threw away being a high and mighty cultivator and ran to Niu Niu with excitement. When they came to Shi Xia to ask about their relationship, Niu Niu said that she(Shi Xia) was her sister with a warm and thoughtful expression.

It was when Xuan Lin’s face began to collapse. Shi Xia was happy, and couldn’t help but throw a few sarcastic remarks at him. She said that it was karma, for being a scumbag and abandoning his own sister. She didn’t forget to raise her voice, because she wanted the disciples of Huang Shengyin Sect to know how he behaved with their precious disciple, Niu Niu. She wanted him to face the same humiliation and hurt he caused Niu Niu. But who knew that it would immediately backfire at herself.

That stupid asshole actually revealed her name!

“She is the sister of the Demon King, Shi Xia. Don’t let her escape!” Xuan Lin continued to fan the flames.

“Who said I’m Shi Xia?” Shi Xia retorted, “What proof do you have?” Damn, she finally knows the price of having a cheap mouth. Looking at the crowd of tigers around her, she had to think about how to escape the situation in order to not be cut in two pieces.

“Your surname is Shi, if you aren’t her ……then who is it?”

“Hey, hey, hey, your words can’t even be eaten. Don’t speak nonsense, when did I say my last name is Shi?”

“Six months ago you said it yourself. At that time you did not say your full name, but I clearly heard you saying it!”

Damn, how can this scumbag’s memory be so good?

“You just said and it has to be? Can you prove it?”

“You ……” Xuan Lin wasn’t good at fighting with words. With a sullen look, he turned to the three selected disciples of the Huang Shengyin Sect and said, “benevolent immortals, since she, Shi Xia, the sister of the Demon King arrived, we can’t let her escape. You have to kill her, otherwise, she would create endless problems for us ah. “

Xuan Lin wanted to kill her, this villain ah.

“And again ……” Xuan Lin looked at her, smiled with a smug expression and stole Shi Xia’s concept as he refuted back, “can you prove you aren’t Shi Xia?”

Shi Xia became speechless.

“I can!”

Suddenly, a thick male voice sounded in the whole area and resonated throughout the entire venue. The thick voice made all the people present can’t help but feel a little dizzy.

They looked towards the voice, and saw a middle-aged man on the stage was slowly walking toward the centre of confrontation. At every step he took, people retreated and respectfully gave him the way, with reverence in their eyes.

“City Lord, it’s the Dragon City’s Lord who is here.”

“It’s really City Lord Long! He actually came in person.”

The crowd was in an uproar. Although they purposely lowered their voices, they could not hide the excitement in their tones.

The man came step by step, each step seemed to carry a compelling aura. Even the three cultivators on the stage got up and clasped their fists and called out, “Dragon City Lord.”

“Three Immortal Masters.” The man also clasped his fist and returned the salute. The next moment, he turned his head to look at Shi Xia standing next to them with two shining eyes.

The look gave Shi Xia goosebumps. Before anyone could react, he did something unexpected that shocked everyone present.

“Benefactor!” The man walked over to her quickly, and his distressed eyes looked like they were sprinkled with starlight, “I never thought that I would see my benefactor again in my lifetime. I have never dared to forget the kindness of the past, so I hope you will accept my obeisance.” Saying this, he kneeled down in front of Shi Xia with a thud.

Shi Xia was startled, and hurriedly took a step back as she asked, “Who are you?”

“Benefactor?” The man was stunned, “I am Long Aotian ah!”

The corners of Shi Xia’s mouth twitched as she said, “Hello, my name is Zhao Ritian!”

“Benefactor, do you still remember? Thirty years ago, I was chased by my enemies and fell to the bottom of the valley. It was the benefactor, who passed me the secret of the gongfu methods, and taught me the method of detoxification to renew my veins. The reason why I have today’s achievements is all thanks to the benefactor’s kindness. In these thirty years, I have never dared to forget, and always hoped that one day, I can meet the benefactor again to repay the past kindness.”

Thirty years, thirty years ago she was not even an egg, right?

You really have the wrong person! Shi Xia couldn’t remember saving such a strong person, look at his body muscles, they are almost bursting from the clothes.

What’s more, the boobs are even bigger than hers, which is unbearable!

=_=!

“Dragon City Lord.” The three apprentice selectors of the Huang Shengyin Sect could not help but interrupt, “You know this girl? Then she ……” He was trying to ask if the other party really was the Devil girl, Shi Xia.

“Don’t worry ……” Long Aotian nodded towards the three apprentice selectors and turned his head to look at the crowd on the stage before raising his voice and saying one word at a time, “Everyone! I do know this girl. She is exactly the benefactor that this Long Mou has been looking for for many years. Long Mou guarantees with his honesty, she is definitely not some Devil girl Shi Xia, her name is – Shunfeng Songhuo*!”

[T/N: Express delivery.]

Pfft, cough cough ……

Shi Xia directly choked on her own saliva. What the hell is Shunfeng Songhuo? What kind of odd name is this? Don’t add odd names to her life at random ah hey! Such a bullshit name! Will even ghosts believe it?

“So that’s it! It’s just a misunderstanding.”

“Shunfeng Songhuo, such a righteous name, which points does it sound like the Devil girl?”

“Right, right. She is the city Lord’s benefactor and will never be bad.”

“Just who in the end started this nonsense?”

Shi Xia: “……”

They really believed it! Where is the wisdom of the masses? Drop dead!

The situation on the scene was instantly reversed, Xuan Lin’s face turned black.

“Dragon City Lord is loyal and righteous, what he said must be true.” Even the three chosen disciple cultivators cupped their fists and said with apologetic expression, “It’s all a misunderstanding, I hope the Dragon City Lord will forgive us.” After saying this, they glared at Xuan Lin with dissatisfaction.

Her identity wasn’t exposed. Not only was it exposed, it was even proved that she is a kind hearted person. He has inexplicably provoked a large number of people, and also delayed the selection of immortal disciples, Xuan Lin this time lost big.

On the contrary, the “clarification” of the identity of Shi Xia, harvested a lot of sympathy. The eyes of the crowd looking at her eyes had softened a lot.

Her mood ……was very complicated, although not being treated as the world’s public enemy is a good thing, but she was forced to change the name to “Express delivery”. She is not happy at all ah!

She has just delivered a few times in her life, just a few times ah!

Huh? Wait …… Delivery! Long Aotian?

“You’re that Long Aotian!” Shi Xia suddenly remembered the 10th delivery who was lying at the bottom of the cliff. But wasn’t that a martial arts world? When did the martial arts and immortal worlds establish a friendly relationship? How come she didn’t know?

“Benefactor, you finally remembered me!” Long Aotian’s face was turned bright and moved to the point that his eyes were blurred.

“Uh …… can you get up and talk?” Kneeling all the time in front of her, she feels very stressed, OK?

Long Aotian immediately farted and stood up, “benefactor, talking about these things here is inconvenient. Why not the benefactor comes to my house?”

Shi Xia also had a stomach full of questions she wanted to ask him, but looking at Niu Niu, she showed a moment of hesitation.

“Don’t worry, you can bring her along.” Long Aotian could see her difficulty, “It will take one more day for the immortal masters to select their disciples. When they leave tomorrow, I will just send her again.”

“Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go.” Feeling relived by his assurance, Shi Xia picked up Niu Niu. While walking she asked, “By the way, do you have food in your home?”

“Benefactor, rest assured, my house is full with food!” Long Aotian patted his chest to guarantee.

She was relieved.

****

“Does the benefactor still remember this?” Long Aotian handed over a booklet, “It’s because of it that I was able to survive. And avenge the injustice done on me.”

Shi Xia took a look, and saw that the cover of the book read *Yuan secret book. She looked down and had a hard time recognising the words.

“The Secret Book of Mixed Elements!” Wasn’t this the delivery that she had sent back then?

“Exactly.” Long Aotian nodded his head excitedly.

“Are you sure it’s this one?” But when she gave it to him at first, it clearly had simplified Chinese characters written on it!

“Of course!” He said with certainty, “I have kept this secret book for many years.”

Shi Xia smoothly took it, the questions in her heart grew more, “but I clearly ……” But halfway through, her words stopped and eyes widened. She pointed at the booklet and asked, “you … . did you see it?”

“What?” Long Aotian looked puzzled.

“The words, the words on this have changed!” Just now it was the words of this world, but now it has become simplified Chinese ah!

“Has it?” He took the booklet and flipped through it, but saw nothing wrong. Shi Xia at that time looked with shocked eyes at the words “Secret Book of Mixed Elements” on the cover changed again, back to this world’s writing.

“Isn’t it the same as before?” Long Aotian couldn’t find anything wrong even after looking at it from top to bottom. He handed the book back and said apologetically, “Benefactor, please forgive my ignorance, I really can not see the difference.”

He can’t see! Shi Xia’s entire body was frozen. Flipping the book open, she was stunned to see that the words inside the pages had also changed into her familiar simplified Chinese.

What the hell is going on here? She clearly turned it in front of Long Aotian, he could not have missed it. But he didn’t react at all. Does it mean that the book will automatically switch fonts only in front of her eyes?

She couldn’t help but pull out the secret book that her cheap brother had given her at the beginning, only to find that she was still illiterate. Only this ‘Secret Book of Mixed Elements’ would change like this!

“Dragon City Lord, can I borrow this book to study it?” She asked, thinking that this courier was not simple.

“What are you saying, benefactor.” Long Aotian waved his hand and said, “This is originally the benefactor’s stuff, now it’s only right to return it to its original owner. If you hadn’t left these techniques behind, I wouldn’t have become a martial arts practitioner.”

“Martial arts practitioner!” Shi Xia was stunned. This was not a martial arts book, how did it change into a gong method book again?

“Yes!” Long Aotian nodded with a face of gratitude, “I was fortunate to meet an immortal master before. After he reminded me to know that what my benefactor gave was actually a martial cultivation techniques, and the techniques are equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator when they are completed. I am naturally considered a martial cultivator, that’s why I built this Dragon City and befriended the Immortal Sect, trying to find my benefactor.”

“You were looking for me?”

“Yes, I have been looking for my benefactor since I took my revenge twenty-five years ago.”

“Twenty-five years ago ……” Shi Xia froze for a moment, “How old are you?”

Long Aotian smiled, “Long Mou is fifty three this year.”

“You don’t look like ah ……” Shi Xia looked him up and down as she said. He looks strong and young, at most about thirty years old.

Long Aotian scratched his head with embarrassment, “I have entered the martial path, and currently considered to have built the foundation. The longevity in this path is different from others. Benefactor is also a cultivator, you must know.”

“I’m not a cultivator!” Shi Xia truthfully said.
