In the deep valley, in front of the cave, Po had been teaching Luo Shan the art of tool-crafting with the help of a bronze lamp.
Po and Luo Shan were playing with a piece of Shou Mountain red bronze. Po slowly brushed his finger across the complicated natural patterns on the bronze piece while teaching Luo Shan in a low voice, which was a supreme secret spell for material-crafting and carving the power of great Dao.
The human-head-sized red bronze piece had been glowing with a faint red light. Wherever Po's finger brushed across, one could faintly see the complicated patterns on the bronze piece twist and become smoother and more natural, like the blood vessels of a human body, with a new life-force.
Luo Shan had been cultivating under Po's guidance for over two years. By now, he was far different from ordinary clan kids. His figure had become well-proportioned and elegant, unlike other people of his age who were burly and majestic, and there were no large lumps of muscle on his body.
Luo Shan had already faintly carried a trace of the transcendent aura of a cultivator. His eyes, in particular, had a hidden luster, as if they were top-grade jewels, carrying a layer of pearl-like luster. His essence, Qi, and spirit were not obvious at all. Instead, they were extremely restrained. His every movement was smooth and natural, with a trace of an extremely mysterious aura.
Po taught Luo Shan. Luo Shan listened carefully while changing his fingers, changing the spell of tool-crafting, just like Po did.
Abruptly, Po raised his head, glanced at the cave, then smiled, slightly shook his head and said, "Eh, a woman? Is this the inner trial of the external devil mentioned by my shifu? Brother, you can only count on yourself for this. "
Luo Shan raised his eyebrows, sneakily put his mouth near Po and asked, "Shifu, what woman? What inner trial of the external devil? Is there a woman in my shifu's room? "
Po laughed, raised the bronze piece, gently knocked on Luo Shan's head and said, "Have you grown your hair yet? Is this all you care about? Within three months, I want to see you craft a qualified bronze sword with your own hands. Otherwise, I will lock myself up and face the wall for three years, no negotiation! "
Luo Shan 'Xue Xue' cried out in pain, her small face contorted into a ball.
Above the valley, on a mountaintop that was sheltered from the wind, Yu Mu set up a large pot on the snowfield, with a bonfire blazing. In the colorful soup, hundreds of thumb-thick, multicolored centipedes had been happily wriggling in it. The dense aroma was blocked by Yu Mu with a magic, and could only linger in the area three-feet around the pot. Not even a slight trace of the aroma could leak out.
He was concentrating on taking care of the centipede soup with a taut face. Hundreds of highly poisonous Rainbow Centipedes were treasures that Ji Hao had spent a small half an hour to dig out from the depths of the snowfield. This pot of soup could help him awaken at least a thousand more Magus Acupoints, and save him around a year of hard cultivation.
Tens of zhang away, Feng Xing was lying on his stomach on a large pine tree, sneakily reaching his head towards Ji Hao's cave.
"Sigh, I knew that little girl was up to no good! I, Feng Xing, such a handsome man, have shown up in front of her for at least a hundred times in the past couple of days, but she didn't even take a glance at me. I knew that she was up to no good! "
"I knew it! That little girl, she was up to no good! She sneaked into Ji Hao's room in the middle of the night, she was trying to hurt Ji Hao!"
Feng Xing turned around and said to Yu Mu bitterly, "Bloody fatso, I was going to save Ji Hao from the abyss of suffering, to shield him from the disaster. Don't you think I'm a good brother? "
Yu Mu grabbed a pair of bronze chopsticks, raised his head, threw a glance at Feng Xing and said, "Bullshit! That little girl's body is so fragrant, I even want to take a bite of her fleshy part to see if she tastes good … Such a beautiful girl came to you on her own accord, and she needs your help? Shield you from the disaster? Ji Hao wants you to shield him from the disaster? "
Feng Xing rubbed his own chin, continued lying on the branch, looking at Ji Hao and said, "Why not shield him from the disaster? I dare say, if Ji Hao truly did that little girl today, hehe, someone would do that to him! "
While saying the last few words, Feng Xing raised his pair of fists and smashed down hard.
Yu Mu looked at Feng Xing in shock and asked, "Who?"
Feng Xing curved his lips into a smile, then lowered his voice and murmured, "You've been hanging around with those kids these days, but I'm different. I've been wandering around, and I'm well-informed. I heard Man Man talking to some people, and she said that the Great Libation is quite satisfied with Ji Hao!"
Yu Mu popped his eyes out in shock and said, "Great Libation? Zhu Rong? Eh? Is Ji Hao really going to be the son-in-law of the Fire God? "
Dropping the chopsticks, Yu Mu leaped up from the ground, hurriedly ran to the pine tree, narrowed his beady eyes, looked at Ji Hao's cave and said, "Ahyaya, this woman is indeed a 'disaster'! You're going to do her, just as I thought, you're helping Ji Hao to shield him from the disaster. Those two hammers! "
Shaking his head, Yu Mu asked in a low voice, "How did that woman sneak into Ji Hao's cave?"
Feng Xing showed a mysterious look, rubbed his chin with his right hand for quite a while, then abruptly let out a few weird laughs.
In Ji Hao's dojo, Shaosi had also built a cave in this area, which was only a wall away from the three-thousand carefully selected children's living quarters. A few simple rooms were built in this small cave. Man Man liked to join in the fun, so she lived together with Shaosi.
In one of the stone rooms, Taisi was lying on his back on a piece of leather, happily snoring.
In another room, Man Man was lying on a flagstone with her pair of hammers held in her arms, fast asleep.
On the flat ground outside the cave, Shaosi was quietly standing under an ancient pine tree, narrowing her eyes and looking at Ji Hao's cave. Her pair of hands were nimbly fiddling with a few ancient-colored, square-shaped magic talismans, which were made from black turtle shells.
Along with the movement of Shaosi's fingers, those magic talismans would emit streams of green light from time to time, looking at Ji Hao's cave.
"Man Man, you don't even know that your things have been taken away! Eh! " In the fierce gale, Shaosi sighed slightly. She raised her straight and long eyebrows and released a frosty look, which made people quiver in fear, just like a sharp sword being pulled out of its sheath.
Shaosi's body flashed across the air and silently disappeared, then directly reappeared outside Ji Hao's cave. After taking the Candle Dragon spirit pearl, Shaosi gained the ability of teleportation within a short distance. Among all the people around Ji Hao now, she was the most unpredictable one, making it hard for people to guard against her.
Ji Hao felt that he was wrapped in a warm sphere of mist. His soul was shaken, and even his bones were softened a bit.
He gripped the Flame Dragon Sword tightly. Before Ji Hao figured out how to deal with this girl, whether he should throw her out or do something else, a cold stream of air suddenly swooshed over. Shaosi showed up beside Ji Hao like a ghost, gripped the girl's neck with her long and strong fingers and threw her out.
The girl screamed out in shock, then was thrown over a hundred zhang away by Shaosi, falling into the thick layer of snow.
"How dare you, a lowly slave girl like you break into Earl Yao's place in the middle of the night? Don't you know the rules?" Shaosi scolded coldly, then slightly nodded to Ji Hao and said, "Ji Hao, I will choose a few smart boys from those kids under my command to be your guards. Otherwise, as a great Earl Yao, you won't even have a servant to serve you tea. That would be so inappropriate!"
Coldly and proudly holding her head high, Shaosi walked out of Yu Yu's divine light, grabbed the girl's neck and flew away.
