Chapter 136
Xi Qiancheng didn't want to answer Xiao Wanyi's question, and gave his usual ambiguous answer: "Anyway, there are only two more Divine Beast Temples left. When we go there, won't we know for sure?"
This feeling of being neither up nor down made Xiao Wanyi scratch his head and feel extremely uncomfortable.
Cheng Fu woke up again, just like the time in the Azure Dragon Temple, but she was still in the planet's body. She did not have any ability to control her body and could only watch everything that happened from a first-person perspective.
But this time, when she opened her eyes, she was facing the crystal pillar of the divine beast directly.
Xingqiu rubbed his eyes: "Did I just fall asleep?"
Still confused, he rubbed his eyes and realized that something was wrong with the crystal column in front of him: "Huh?"
Suspecting he was seeing things, he opened his eyes and looked carefully. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, "How can a divine beast as big as me be so big?"
The crystal pillar is still a crystal pillar, but the human figure inside is no longer there. What I saw just now was a hollow pillar.
Planet paced back and forth by the pool. After all, only the northern crystal was in the water. As she walked, she peered under the water. "Could it have come out long ago? Or is it hiding in the water and refusing to see me?"
As a result, when I looked up, I saw a black shadow flashing in the water.
Xingqiu raised an eyebrow and simply lay down by the pool to fight him. "Since you're already out, why don't you show yourself? What's your name? The mythical beast in the east has already come out. He said his name is Qinglong. I'd like to introduce you to him someday!"
“…”
There was total silence. Not only was there no response, but even the dark shadow in the pool seemed to have dived deeper, until even its shadow could no longer be seen.
The planet was stunned.
"No...why are you two like this?"
The same thing happened with Azure Dragon. He didn't even respond to her at first, but the new beast didn't respond and simply avoided her. Is she really that unwelcome?!
So, the planet decided to use courtesy before force: "Hey, I think there's too much water in this pool. Should we move some out? Should I move it out or not? Let me think about it for five seconds, five-four-"
When she counted to three, ripples began to appear on the surface of the pool. When she counted to two, a dark figure emerged again. When she counted to one, a white-haired man emerged from the water.
The man had white hair and black eyes, with only his upper body exposed above the water. He was not wearing any clothes, except for gold ornaments around his neck and forehead.
His long hair was soaked in water, sticking to the side of his face. When he came out of the water, he combed his wet hair back with his fingers and slowly said, "Pool water, this is fine."
Xingqiu smiled at the handsome man soaking in the water in front of her: "It would be great if you could come out and talk to me earlier. So, what's your name?"
He continued to ask questions, but Xingqiu's hands were scooping water from the pool from time to time. The handsome man lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes stained with water droplets, and he whispered, "Xuanwu."
Does he dare not answer?
Xuanwu even suspected that if he hesitated for a second and didn't answer, the water in the pool would not just be scooped out by the planet's hands, but the entire pool would be empty!
"Your name is Xuanwu? How long have you been out? Did you hide under the water because you saw me?"
“…” This question is really difficult for Xuanwu to answer.
But seeing that Xingqiu's hand stayed in the pool for longer and longer periods of time, Xuanwu could only softly reply, "It wasn't long after coming out, so the reason why he hid underwater... is indeed the case."
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar person in front of me, sleeping with his head propped up and his eyes closed.
He also thought about walking up to her and reaching out to touch her, but when he was about to do so, he saw what his lower body looked like.
The curled eyelashes of the planet trembled, and it seemed that it was about to wake up. Xuanwu turned around without hesitation and dived directly into the deep water of the pool. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the planet in the end.
The planets were all surprised: "Why are you hiding from me? Are you afraid of me?!"
She thought that she didn't look that scary, did she?
But Xuanwu shook his head. Although he spoke with a smile, his smile was somewhat bitter. "I'm worried about the opposite. I'm hiding because I think you might be afraid of me."
"I'm afraid of you?" Planet stopped stirring the water.
She looked confused and didn't know the reason, so Xuanwu could only take a deep breath and show her his whole self.
“Clatter—”
The water surface was churning, and something huge rose from the bottom of the water, then rolled up the body of the planet.
"Huh?"
Planet put his hands on the thing and found it was wet and slippery, and it was still tying him up.
Then she noticed that what tied her up was a scaly snake body, and that snake body was the lower half of Xuanwu.
Instead of transforming into human legs, he appeared in the form of a half-human, half-beast.
Xuanwu's expression was helpless, and if you looked closely, he even looked nervous. He said in a self-deprecating tone, "How could you not be scared when you saw me like this?"
That's why we have to hide it, we must hide it.
He didn't want the person who had been looking forward to seeing the ugly appearance of his lower body to see it with their own eyes.
But there's no way.
She asked again, but she was confused.
Then he... could only tear apart the self that he wanted to hide the most and reveal his most embarrassing side in front of her.
The planet was indeed surprised, because the Azure Dragon was in front. She had thought that every mythical beast that appeared in the world would have human form, but she had never thought that there would be an example of a half-human, half-beast.
Xuanwu noticed her surprise and smiled as if to expect it.
Look.
It still scared her.
The bitterness in his heart was gradually spreading, but Xuanwu felt his snake tail being rubbed back and forth.
Xuanwu: “?”
But he saw that the planet was playing with his tail all over, and even asked him: "Can you lift me higher?"
"...Yes." Xuanwu didn't understand why, but he still did as she requested, tied her up with his snake tail and lifted her up high. Xingqiu's eyes lit up and he laughed happily.
"Wow, this is really interesting and fun, why are you hiding?" As he said this, he touched the snake's tail a few more times, as if he really liked the touch.
Xuanwu's tail became slightly stiff after being touched by her. Then, a sound of breaking wind was heard. Xuanwu came back to his senses and immediately stirred up a water curtain to block it.
It was Qinglong who flew over. Lightning gathered in his palm and he glared at Xuanwu: "Put her down!"
I came here after hearing the sound of the planet, but I didn't expect to see this when I got here.
The planet explained, "Qinglong, you're here? That's perfect. This is Xuanwu, the new mythical beast. You two should get to know each other. Don't argue, let alone fight!"
Xuanwu rolled the planet behind him and swam in front of Qinglong, separating him from the planet.
Because Xuanwu's lower body is a huge snake, most of his tail is still supported at the bottom of the pool, just enough to meet the eyes of the floating Qinglong.
When Xuanwu faced Qinglong, he was not as gentle as he was to Xinghuo. He said to Qinglong, "You are not the only one who can protect her."
