Chapter 138

Although Shu Xiu was poisoned, she was originally a poisonous spider, so the poison was less effective on her, and she was awake from beginning to end.

When she used Huo Xiu to clear her poison, she noticed his strangeness.

No matter what, Huo Xiu was still a general. Even if he was injured, he should be able to fight back even after being slapped by her. Not to mention that she hadn’t seen any wounds on Huo Xiu’s body.

Not only that, she also found out that most of Huo Xiu’s spiritual power had disappeared, so she asked Huo Xiu but he didn’t want to say the reason for it.

Shu Xiu sneered. “I don’t feel sorry for you. If you die because of me, I even have to bother to explain to the Immortal Emperor and the spirit clan’s prince.”

Anyway, now Huo Xiu was very weak, so she investigated him by herself. She then found the Tian Wu Zhu hidden in Huo Xiu’s belly and took the Tian Wu Zhu out.

Huo Xiu was very agitated when being robbed of Tian Wu Zhu, Shu Xiu kicked him over and shouted, “Be obedient.”

Shu Xiu was a poisonous spider spirit. Even if she cultivated into a human form, she had a trace of evil. When she got the Tian Wu Zhu, she acutely felt the cold and bewitching aura in the Tian Wu Zhu.

The cause of Huo Xiu’s current state was probably because of this thing. She immediately put the Tian Wu Zhu into the magic item that isolated all spiritual power and put it away. She decided to deal with it later.

Later, the Immortal Emperor became angry because of her action towards Huo Xiu, and Yuan Ting was also affected. Seeing the Immortal Emperor’s attitude, it seemed that the marriage was also ruined.

Shu Xiu knew that it was her fault, and she didn’t want to return to the spirit clan with this result, so she handed Tian Wu Zhu to Yuan Ting.

Yuan Ting saw that Tian Wu Zhu was something from the Devil Realm, and it doesn’t seem to be a good thing. It might cause him trouble if he keeps it.

Shu Xiu then suggested, “Prince, you might as well give it to the Immortal Emperor.”

This was probably the treasure that Si TuZhao has been looking for in the Immortal Palace for so long. If it was handed directly to the Immortal Emperor, it would be a great gift. Not only would she be relieved of her guilt, Yuan Ting might be able to compete for Xi Ning’s marriage again.

“The seventh prince is still very young. It’s normal for him to easily have a good impression of someone he is not familiar with.” Shu Xiu was blowing her black nails while saying this as if she had experienced it before. “When he marries the spirit clan, he will naturally know how good you are.”

Yuan Ting had not been reconciled with the result at all. His hope rekindled after hearing her say so, and he went to find the Immortal Emperor with Tian Wu Zhu.

The Immortal Emperor really accepted Tian Wu Zhu and betrothed Xi Ning to him.

Si TuZhao didn’t know about it. He only knew that the Tian Wu Zhu were indeed obtained by Shu Xiu and was given to the Immortal Emperor. He even suspected that the Immortal Emperor knew that Tian Wu Zhu was on Huo Xiu’s body from the beginning, but because he was still in the Immortal Palace, it was not easy to snatch it away secretly.

Now that his goal was achieved, he would certainly not let Si TuZhao marry Xi Ning.

Si TuZhao was very angry, but he was still in the Immortal Palace, and he couldn’t directly fight with the Immortal Emperor. Not to mention he had to take Xi Ning away.

He pretended to accept the fact that Xi Ning was going to marry the spirit clan during the day, and locked himself inside his residence alone to relieve his sorrows by drinking alcohol. He then waited until late night to come to meet Xi Ning.

Xi Ning was still a little worried. “You said that Tian Wu Zhu will bewitch people, will the Immortal Emperor……”

“Him?” Si TuZhao sneered. “Don’t worry, he is more evil than Tian Wu Zhu. Besides, he is the Immortal Emperor, so he will not be so easily bewitched by it.”

Xi Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Tian Wu Zhu would also cause the Emperor Immortal character to collapse. If it really became like that , his mission would be changed completely.

Si TuZhao put out the lights in the bedroom. He hugged Xi Ning tightly in the dark and asked him again, “Can you follow me back to the Devil Realm, my dear?”

He still had many things to say, such as, he will always treat Xi Ning well in the future. Although they couldn’t get married in an upright manner, he could also give him a marriage in his Devil’s Palace, but only secretly. If Xi Ning wanted to come back to the Immortal Palace in the future, he could also bring him back secretly.

Xi Ning stretched out his arm and put it around Si TuZhao’s neck. He responded in a soft voice, “Okay, but what about Tian Wu Zhu?”

Si TuZhao said without hesitation, “I don’t want it anymore.”

Since the Emperor Immortal wanted Tian Wu Zhu so much, he just let him have it, and he didn’t bother to care about it anymore. He would let other Devil Lords worry about it, since Xi Ning was the most important to him.

He took out a puppet from his magic storage ring, and put an illusion to make it look like Xi Ning. After that he put it on the bed and covered it with a blanket. The puppet would also make breathing movements, which looked lifelike.

When the people in the palace discover something was wrong tomorrow morning, they would have already gone far away.

Si TuZhao took out a black cloak and put it on Xi Ning. He also helped Xi Ning to wear a wide hat, to cover most of his face. He looked around the palace and said, “Is there anything else you want to take away?”

Xi Ning shook his head. “No.”

The two of them left through the window and disappeared into the dark.
