Chapter 74: Great compassion and great mercy save the world
"Pfft!!"
Blood spurted from his nose, Xu Hei tried to block it, but it ended up spraying from his rear.
Finally, Xu Hei blocked all his orifices, and Xiao Chou swelled up like a balloon, continuously expanding.
"Damn! When will this end?!"
Xu Hei was furious. The puppet punched Xiao Chou in the face, and with a "bang," blood splattered as Xiao Chou flew backward, crashing into the stone wall and embedding himself in it.
Moments later, he peeled off the wall, leaving a human-shaped indentation, and fell to the ground, motionless like a dead dog.
Xu Hei waited for a while and noticed that Xiao Chou finally stopped bleeding, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Fists are still the most effective. This Blood Replenishing Pill's recovery effect is too strong; it needs to be countered with some attacks," Xu Hei nodded to himself.
He checked and found that Xiao Chou's complexion was rosy, significantly improved.
It showed that the Blood Replenishing Pill was indeed effective.However, Xiao Chou's face was twisted, looking like a mask of pain.
"Hey? Where are you uncomfortable? You need to tell me!" Xu Hei hurriedly said.
Xu Hei thought for a moment, manipulated the puppet, and grabbed Xiao Chou's leg, lifting him upside down.
Xu Hei shook him and made the puppet speak in a human voice, "Hey! Wake up! Wake up! Speak!"
He swung Xiao Chou around a few times in mid-air but found that he still didn't wake up, his expression only becoming more contorted.
"Strange, what does that expression mean?"
Xu Hei looked puzzled.
His gaze swept over to Xiao Chou's storage bag at his waist.
Xu Hei immediately smiled.
"Not talking, huh? Let's see what's in your storage bag."
Xu Hei put him on the ground and grabbed his storage bag.
Xiao Chou unconsciously reached out, trying to grab it back, his face struggling as if he wanted to resist.
Xu Hei snorted, took out the demon-binding rope, and tied him up tightly several times.
"What treasures are you hiding, afraid others might see?"
Xu Hei chuckled, tied Xiao Chou up a few more times, and tossed him aside. Then, he spent a stick of incense's time removing the Divine Sense imprint on the storage bag.
He shook the storage bag, and its contents spilled out onto the ground.
Seeing these items, Xu Hei was stunned.
"This... how is he so poor?"
To Xu Hei's surprise, there wasn't a single Spirit Stone in the storage bag.
No pills, talismans, or magical treasures, just some white steamed buns, a handful of pickles, a gourd of water, and some clothes and miscellaneous items.
Is this really a cultivator's storage bag?
If he didn't know better, Xu Hei would have thought he had captured a mortal.
Any random Qi Refining Stage cultivator would be wealthier than this.
Xu Hei was disappointed, thinking he had found some treasure.
Xu Hei scanned the pile of miscellaneous items and found a bamboo slip with some writing on it.
Curious, Xu Hei started to read its contents.
The content was quite peculiar, like a diary.
"Yesterday, I spent thirty Spirit Stones to buy Silver Bell Fairy's clothes. She said she wouldn't sell them to anyone else for a hundred Spirit Stones, only to me, which means she has feelings for me..."
"Just got beaten up by Young Master Hua. I wanted to resist, but I didn't because you said you liked honest people..."
Reading aloud in front of Xiao Chou, Xu Hei noticed Xiao Chou's expression becoming increasingly pained and twisted.
Xu Hei skimmed through a few more lines and couldn't bear to read any further.
There were even more bizarre entries like "Silver Bell gave him a strand of hair, and he gave her a Foundation Establishment Pill in return, thinking he made a profit," which left Xu Hei speechless.
"This guy must have gone mad."
Xu Hei muttered to himself, unable to understand Xiao Chou's thought process. If he wanted to mate, he should just knock her out; why go through all this trouble?
No wonder he's so poor; it's a miracle if he had any money.
Xu Hei glanced at Xiao Chou, who was still unconscious, which wasn't good.
His expressions were rich, indicating his body still had sensation, but he just couldn't wake up.
"Seeing you so pitiful, I'll be a good person to the end and wake you up."
Xu Hei patted the skeleton's storage bag and took out a light yellow pill.
Awakening Pills, essential for refreshing the mind during cultivation.
Without hesitation, he stuffed the pill into Xiao Chou's mouth.
"Ugh!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chou coughed violently, spitting the pill out.
"Hey? You dare not eat it!"
Xu Hei's eyes widened, about to force-feed him again, but saw a wisp of smoke emanating from the Awakening Pill, its medicinal properties starting to disperse, instantly filling the entire cave dwelling.
At this moment, Xu Hei's puppet was operating, while his main body was outside the cave dwelling.
Even so, Xu Hei's main body smelled an indescribable stench seeping out from the cave dwelling.
The odor permeated the stone walls, the soil layers, and could be smelled from hundreds of meters away!
"What, what is this smell?"
Xu Hei's face changed dramatically. He retreated several meters, the stench growing stronger, continuously seeping out from the cave dwelling, so foul it almost made him vomit.
"Ugh!!!"
The unconscious Xiao Chou suddenly sprang up, clutching his throat and vomiting violently, expelling all the food in his stomach, even bile.
The stench was unimaginably strong.
Even the puppet felt its eyes burning, and the stone surface seemed to be corroding.
"Ah!!" Xu Hei screamed and fled in panic.
He burrowed a hundred meters underground and used a golden shield Talisman to seal the space, barely escaping the smell.
"Is this really an Awakening Pill?" Xu Hei was dumbfounded.
Xiao Chou was also dizzy from the stench, unable to sleep any longer.
He actually woke up slowly.
Xiao Chou lay on the ground, weak and trembling, speaking to the stone puppet, "Senior... please..."
Xu Hei was stunned, quickly controlling the puppet to approach, saying in a muffled voice, "Speak, I'm listening."
Xiao Chou's expression was extremely pained, seemingly holding his breath, but the smell kept invading, making his face turn blue and purple.
"Senior, can you... give me... a quick death?"
A trembling voice came out.
Xiao Chou had never wanted to die so strongly in his life.
Previously, when being chased by those two, he had fought desperately to escape, not wanting to die.
But now, in the hands of this stone puppet, it felt like he had fallen into hell, enduring the greatest torment of his life.
Both physically and mentally, he was tortured beyond endurance.
He was tired, he didn't want to live anymore, just wanted a quick release.
Xu Hei shook his head at these words.
"How can that be? I saved you with great effort, how can you just die like that!"
Xu Hei couldn't understand why anyone would want to die.
"Senior! I really..."
Xiao Chou's tears flowed down.
"Hey, you're a grown man, why are you crying?"
Xu Hei was even more puzzled.
At this moment, several kilometers away.
Hua Yuntian and another companion were following the trail, searching through the forest. Along the way, they found many traces of blood.
"Heh, that kid was poisoned by a thousand snakes and ran this far. He's probably dead by now," Hua Yuntian sneered.
"I heard he spent all his wealth on Foundation Establishment Pills and has no life-saving items. He's most likely dead," the other person nodded in agreement.
Hua Yuntian smirked, following the blood trail.
"Even if he's dead, I want to see his corpse."
As he walked forward, he suddenly stopped.
Hua Yuntian's nose twitched, his face contorting slightly. He suddenly rushed to a nearby tree and started vomiting.
"Ugh!!"
The other person was puzzled, but within five seconds, he too was retching on the ground.
"What, what is this smell?"
"I can't take it, I've never smelled anything this foul in my life!"
"I can't even open my eyes."
