Ah Xu was extremely sensitive to scent, he only inhaled a little before immediately holding his breath. The chess piece he had just picked up fell back into the chess box, and without batting an eyelid, he picked up another chess piece once more. As the sound of the footsteps approached, just as Ah Xu was about to put the chess piece down, an elegant voice transmitted into his ear.
"Put it here and you will lose."
Chen Lou took off her eyes and smiled towards the clear and cold eyes of Xuan Ye. Looking at the Taotie Vicious Beast up close, she was even more handsome and masculine, she suppressed the racing heart and continued: "Little girl Chen Lou, you're quite fond of Go. If you don't mind, I'm willing to be his eyes, play a round, how about it?"
Xuan Ye had nothing to say, he withdrew his gaze and started to arrange the board. Chen Lou, with her red lips hooked together, very casually sat in the middle of the group. She reached out to help them arrange the Go Board, and intentionally or unintentionally touched Xuan Ye's fingers, his hand was the most beautiful she had ever seen, more slender and shapely than those artists' hands.
Then I'll be troubling Chen Lou.
Ah Xu elegantly broke the silence, he said that because the old man who passed away loved to play chess, even if he was blind, he wanted to play a game here to comfort himself and pay respects to the old man.
Chen Lou was moved, she said straightforwardly that they were very filial, she had also come to the cemetery because she missed her deceased relatives too much, and when she finished speaking, a look of sadness appeared on Chen Lou's face as she stared fixedly at the two men in front of him, not letting go of even the slightest of their actions.
Ah Xu and Chen Lou spoke one after the other, passing the time to mediate the atmosphere. The chess game had also begun, and Xuan Ye had always been seriously pondering about the direction of the chess game, not paying attention to the two figures in front of him. He only looked at Chen Lou's burning gaze, and once in a while, he would raise his head to give him a glance.
In the beginning, Chen Lou still had some skill, but was forced to move step by step to the end. With her smile, she had no choice but to place her thoughts on the board, she did not want to lose, she wanted to prove herself in front of the Taotie Vicious Beast.
And at places that she wasn't paying attention to, Xuan Ye and Ah Xu had already conversed a few times.
Just as the match was about to reach its climax, the ground started to shake, and the chess pieces started to become chaotic. Chen Lou's face became ugly, and the first thought that appeared in her mind was Huang Shen's actions, she had to quickly go down to have a look. Just as Chen Lou was about to get up, a hand landed on her shoulder, and pressed down onto her body.
Chen Lou struggled but she did not struggle free. The hand on her shoulder strengthened her strength and she felt her shoulder blades splitting apart. This was clearly not a power that a person could wield.
Ah Xu's eyes were still covered by a piece of cloth, and as if he could sense Chen Lou's gaze, his voice became calm: "The game is not over, and the victor is not decided yet."
"Haven't you noticed the earthquake? Even at this time … "
"Don't worry, it won't shake in a while."
Ah Xu was calm as she said this, his other hand had already started to arrange the Go board, his movements was calm and unhurried, Chen Lou's heart trembled, she watched as Ah Xu placed the chess pieces that were just messed up back to their original positions, was he really blind?
They had investigated Ah Xu before. In the past, he could be considered to have a bitter life without any family members. He was a loner, but after meeting the Vermillion Bird, he had lost his sight.
That's right, the report from the investigation said this: Ah Xu is an eccentric patient, and his appearance is different.
"Who the hell are you?"
It was impossible that this was that useless Ah Xu, Chen Lou was not an ordinary person either. With a flip of her body, she shook off her windbreaker and got out of Ah Xu's control.
"Heh, who?"
Laughing lightly, Ah Xu took off the cloth covering his face. His face looked very much like Ah Xu, but it wasn't Ah Xu's, and as he slowly changed, it became the appearance of another person. The aura of a strange beast spread out, and two dragon horns appeared on his forehead.
"Flaming Dragon!"
Chen Lou's face became even more ugly, then what about Xuan Ye? She turned around and saw Ah Xu, whose eyes were covered by a white cloth, and there seemed to be a flash of a animal shadow on Ah Xu's shoulder that had hidden itself into his body.
"Good, very good. All of you, stay here." When Chen Lou's hand hit the ground, she immediately activated the communication with the base below her. In the end, there was no response.
The Flaming Dragon's smile rippled, and its hand caressed its lower jaw as it kindly reminded Chen Lou: "Stop trying, the Taotie Vicious Beast has already carried your nest away, the earthquake just now, I think he is currently filling his stomach."
Chen Lou had heard Minister Huang's warning before, so she didn't have time to expose herself and directly pulled out her apparatus and was about to force her way back. But just at this moment, a figure rushed out from underground.
Xuan Ye didn't even spare Chen Lou a glance and just gave the Flaming Dragon a glance before disappearing on the spot, directly returning to the Lei's Restaurant.
The apparatus in Chen Lou's hand fell to the ground. She did not expect herself to make a fatal mistake. The apparatus that had fallen beside her feet suddenly flashed a few times, Chen Lou only felt a tearing force from beneath her feet, her vision turned black, and she fainted.
By the time the Flaming Dragon realized something was wrong and rushed over, it was already too late. It only grabbed Chen Lou's clothes and tore them off.
The Minister Huang rushed over at the last moment and spat out a mouthful of blood. Only after throwing the Vermillion Bird and Ba She's beast pill out to divert Xuan Ye's attention did he finally seize the opportunity to preserve the base. In the end, he still could not understand how Xuan Ye was able to find and barge in accurately.
In order to clarify this, he took the risk of waiting for Xuan Ye to leave and rescue him. After asking a lot of questions, he did not manage to get a satisfactory answer, which caused the Minister Huang to panic.
In Lei's Restaurant, the Vermillion Bird complained about how much suffering it had endured the moment it woke up, accusing Xuan Ye of not saving her earlier.
Xuan Ye placed the beast pill into the body of Ba She who had already shed half of its skin, leaving the rest to Ba She's own hard work. Regarding the Vermillion Bird's fragmented thoughts, Xuan Ye did not pay any attention to them, after all, he still needed to vent out from the stimulation of being too fierce, until the Vermillion Bird ran in front of Mo Bao to denounce him. Xuan Ye was furious.
"If it wasn't for luck, you would still be trapped in the golden cage."
"Isn't that just accompanying it? Was born? " The Vermillion Bird carefully looked at Xuan Ye's cold expression, but it did not see anything. She flew around, flapping her wings as she flew to find Ah Xu.
When I knew? She fluttered her wings as she looked up at Ah Xu in disbelief. He, who had lost his eyesight, was still as calm and gentle as ever as he sat there, asking her in a soft voice if she had felt any pain from the fall.
"The Vermillion Bird doesn't hurt. It hurts Ah Xu. Why didn't Ah Xu tell me?"
Ah Xu was silent for a while, before he slowly said: "If it wasn't for Xuan Ye, I wouldn't have known that my body had a strange beast in it, and I wouldn't have called it a host body either, it should have been born together."
