Chapter 153 Red Bean's life is being devoured
Feng Yuansi was surprised at first, and then he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
Perhaps due to his inherent strength, Feng Yuansi firmly believed that even if the blockade of the underworld was lifted, he and his family would still maintain a significant position. Furthermore, his family sided with the Ling family, potentially fostering a strong relationship with the underworld. Whether lifting the blockade would be more beneficial for the Feng family than harmful, or, like other metaphysical families, more harmful than beneficial, remained uncertain.
"Not many people know her true spiritual weapon is the Ukiyo-e scroll. Keep your mouth shut and don't let anyone know," Shi Can warned worriedly. "If this gets out, it will be a catastrophe, and we're not ready yet."
Feng Yuansi restrained his smile and nodded seriously.
Although he often seems unreliable, he is not a fool.
Feng Yuansi patted his chest and said righteously, "If you need any help, just tell me."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Is anything okay?"
Feng Yuansi nodded and said, "As long as I can do it."
Lin Zhuyue's eyes were filled with anticipation as she said, "That's what you said—"
The next day, the second game of the third round of the four-school league rematch.
This match was very special. On one side was Yao Hanshuang, who had advanced all the way to the next round without playing seriously. On the other side were the twins from Class One, Grade Six of the headquarters. Because of their special abilities, the Spiritual Master Mansion allowed the twins to participate in the competition as individuals.
“This game is a must-see.”
Shi Can pulled Lin Zhuyue to sit in the audience and said,
"These twins are very strong. If they advance to the next tournament, they will be a tough opponent to deal with."
Gong Yongyuan, who was sitting not far away, rolled his eyes: "How do you know it's the twins who advanced?"
Ye Yangjia quickly called a halt: "Hey, hey, hey, the game hasn't started yet, let's keep it a little suspenseful."
Gong Yongyuan asked, "Why didn't I leave any suspense?"
Wen Miyan sat down in the audience with some snacks in hand and added to Ye Yangjia's words:
"Other people say this to cheer their brother on, but you're not, Daxian. You're prophesying. Aren't you going to the sidelines to cheer your brother on?"
Hearing this, Gong Yongyuan lowered his head and his eyes dimmed.
He slightly turned his eyes, glanced at Lin Zhuyue secretly, and then quickly looked away.
He said worriedly, "...let's watch the game."
On the field below, Yao Hanshuang and the twin players came on stage from both sides.
The twins in Class One, Grade Six of our school take their father's surname, Shi Xiangsi, and their mother's surname, Liu Nanguo. Although their names seem to have nothing to do with each other, the two sisters look almost exactly the same, and their figures and weight are also very similar. I wonder if they maintain this intentionally.
They often play pranks by taking advantage of their similar appearance. For example, the younger sister pretends to be the older sister and gets close to her boyfriend, and the older sister will do the same to tease her crush.
They are not angry about each other's behavior, but choose to indulge it.
They are twins, the most important people to each other, like the other half of each other's lives. They don't care about the opposite sex being teased, or rather, the opposite sex is just a game between sisters to them.
"Junior, it's not too late to admit defeat now."
Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo stood shoulder to shoulder and said in unison,
"Otherwise, he'll be beaten badly. If such a handsome boy gets beaten until his nose and tears are flying, it will be difficult for him to find a girlfriend in the future."
Yao Hanshuang had a smile on her face, showing no intention of giving in:
"If my strength is strong enough, then getting beaten up badly wouldn't be shameful, right? Everyone would just understand and sympathize with me, not laugh at me."
Shi Xiangsi said: "If you say so, we will not be polite."
The referee stood in the center of the arena and announced, "Yao Hanshuang from Class 1, Grade 1 versus Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo from Class 1, Grade 6. The match begins—!"
After announcing the start of the game, the referee left the field as quickly as possible.
Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo stood side by side, each summoning a purple-gray short bow, pulling the bowstring, and spiritual power of the same color as the short bow flowed out of their bodies, along their arms, and finally condensed into an arrow, resting on the bowstring.
"Don't worry, we've made adjustments for the competition."
Shi Xiangsi aimed at Yao Hanshuang and said,
"Being shot will only hurt, but won't hurt you, let alone kill you. However, if you're shot in a vital area, you should surrender. Do you understand?"
Yao Hanshuang nodded and replied, "I understand."
If it were a real combat, if the opponent's arrow was not adjusted, once it hit the vital point, Yao Hanshuang would lose the battle by death.
Shi Xiangsi said, "Then we won't be polite."
As soon as the words fell, an arrow condensed from spiritual power was shot out.
Yao Hanshuang didn't move, and a translucent white fox jumped out from behind him, accurately caught the arrow, landed on the ground and shook its body, making its already smooth and beautiful fur even more fluffy.
A closer look revealed it was much larger than an ordinary fox, standing roughly as tall as a man. Its posture and expression were also majestic, its upturned eyes holding a gleam of pride.
In the audience, Lin Zhuyue asked doubtfully, "Fox Fairy?"
Shi Can nodded: "Yes, it should be the spirit medium worshipped by Yao Hanshuang."
Lin Zhuyue tilted his head and said, "I didn't seem to have seen it when I went to the Gong family before..."
"It's not young anymore. It's very mature and steady. It won't show up in front of people easily."
Gong Yongyuan explained to Lin Zhuyue,
"Only those little brats who can't contain their curiosity would always hide in the corners and spy on the guests, and even be noticed by the guests."
Shi Can asked, "How many immortals of this level do you have?"
Lin Zhuyue was surprised and asked, "More than one?"
"One?" Gong Yongyuan turned his head to look at Lin Zhuyue and said, "Are you kidding?"
On the field.
Yao Hanshuang smiled at the senior student opposite her and said, "I got it."
Liu Nanguo sneered and asked, "What's the big deal about catching an arrow?"
After saying this, Liu Nanguo released the bowstring, and the arrow flew straight towards Yao Hanshuang. But before it could hit Yao Hanshuang, the arrow, condensed from spiritual energy, quickly split apart, and a rain of arrows formed a net, raining down on Yao Hanshuang as if to shoot her into a sieve.
Liu Nanguo asked, "Can you still catch it like this?"
Yao Hanshuang remained calm and asked, "Why can't you catch it?"
Countless shadows emerged from behind him: foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, rats... They were all enormous and numerous, some catching Liu Nanguo's arrows, others breaking them. Furthermore, their numbers far outnumbered the arrows, and their spiritual power was also formidable. They appeared on the field in a black mass, like an advancing army, creating a palpable, suffocating pressure.
Lin Zhuyue's eyes widened.
"This is the Chuma Hall."
Gong Yongyuan spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was already accustomed to this kind of situation.
"With a massive army, we can crush most spiritual masters and spirits under our feet."
"so good?"
Shi Can glanced at Gong Yongyuan and asked,
"Why don't you set up your own shrine? Don't mention that your maternal grandparents' shrine is passed down through males only, and your mother didn't inherit it, so you don't have one either. People tend to favor sons over daughters, but shrine spirits don't. In their eyes, talent is much more important than gender."
Gong Yongyuan glared at Shi Can and continued watching the game.
Yao Hanshuang took out a piece of dogtail grass from his pocket, held it in his mouth carelessly, and asked Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo, who were pale on the opposite side, with a lazy look on their faces:
"Senior, are you still fighting?"
Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo looked somewhat solemn.
But they did not admit defeat. Instead, they looked at each other. There was complexity and determination in that look. They seemed to have reached a consensus in this look.
The two sisters put away their spiritual weapons and then held each other's hands.
The atmosphere on the field changed.
Even the sky turned gray.
It seems like a monster is about to come.
A hoarse, broken voice echoed across the field: "Sister... Sister..."
Yao Hanshuang repeated, "Sister?"
Shi Xiangsi held Liu Nanguo's hand tightly and said:
"We are not actually twins, but triplets. I am the eldest sister, Nan Guo is the second oldest, and we also have a younger sister, but she died at birth. But death is not separation. Hong Dou was transformed into a fierce ghost by the family using secret methods, and she remains in this world. When Nan Guo and I hold hands, Hong Dou will appear."
A huge gray shadow appeared behind the two sisters.
Yao Hanshuang raised her head, looked up at the other person, and swallowed unconsciously...
It's too big, as big as a mountain, the kind that can easily crush a person into pulp...
Is this really a ghost?
Why do human ghosts crawl on all fours, have sharp claws, huge mouths, and roars that are more terrifying than monsters?
"Just admit defeat."
Liu Nanguo urged,
"When we use bows and arrows, we can guarantee that we won't shoot through you. But now that Hongdou has appeared, we don't know if you can survive. If you're unlucky, your life will end here today."
Yao Hanshuang said: "Thank you for the reminder, but I still want to try it."
After saying this, he waved his hand forward, and his soldiers and horses ran, leaping high into the air and pouncing on Hongdou. Like wild beasts, they tried to tear Hongdou into pieces.
Hongdou roared in pain, throwing the animals off her body. Her force was so strong that some of the less powerful animals screamed as they landed, then transformed into weak auras that drifted towards Yao Hanshuang, concealing themselves.
The big white fox that appeared first bit Hongdou tightly, and no matter how Hongdou shook it, it just hung on her.
Hongdou was extremely furious because of the pain. She grabbed the fox and tried to tear it into two parts, head and tail.
Yao Hanshuang panicked and said, "Stop! I give up!"
As someone whose family has been full of disciples for generations, and who himself is on the verge of becoming one, Yao Hanshuang has been cared for by a chariot master since childhood. This large white fox, named Jiao Hu, has been accompanying and caring for him since he was very young, far more dedicated than Yao Hanshuang's drunkard father.
Shi Xiangsi decided to stop while she was ahead and said, "Hongdou, stop it."
But Hongdou still pulled the fox's head and tail.
"Hongdou?" Shi Xiangsi asked anxiously, "Hongdou? Can you hear me?"
Anko pulled harder on the fox's hands.
I can’t wait any longer…
Yao Hanshuang took a step forward and rushed towards Hongdou like an arrow.
Liu Nanguo said: "No! You can't come over here——!"
Hongdou threw the fox towards Yao Hanshuang.
Yao Hanshuang reached out to catch it, but was knocked to the ground by the huge force exerted on the fox, and rolled several times while holding the fox.
He squeezed his eyes shut, a streak of red running down his nose.
The fox broke free from his arms, transformed into a human form, and squatted down to check on Yao Hanshuang's condition.
But before his hand could touch Yao Hanshuang, she suddenly opened her eyes. His eyes were no longer as lively as before, but dim, tinged with a dark, murderous aura. He raised his head and stared at Hongdou.
Compared to the huge red beans, Yao Hanshuang looked very small.
Gong Yongyuan said: "It's broken..."
Gong Yongyuan stood up and ran forward. He didn't even walk along the aisle. He ran directly to the front of the audience seats, supported the railing with one hand, and jumped directly to the sidelines.
Hongdou stretched out her hand and punched him.
Yao Hanshuang calmly caught the seemingly extremely heavy blow with one hand, and with a turn of his palm, he actually flipped Hongdou over and slammed him heavily on the field.
Lin Zhuyue looked at "Yao Hanshuang" on the court from afar:
"His life... is being devoured..."
Ye Yangjia asked: "By Hongdou?"
Lin Zhuyue shook his head: "The undead spirit that now occupies his body."
