Chapter 1385 - 1384: Ominous Aura
"When I'm bored, I find the snake fruits on the tree unattractive, so I change their color. Hmm~ if you say there's any effect, it might be enhancing powers and prolonging life."Prolonging life, enhancing powers?
The first time Xiao Bai said this, Tang Rao was full of doubt, and even now, he wonders if anyone believes Xiao Bai's words.
"I know you don't believe it. If I said someone did, the fruits would've been picked clean by now and wouldn't be left until now."
Xiao Bai's words do have some logic.
"What's your relationship with the Zhang Family? Can you reveal a little?"
Meeting here by chance is a rare fate. If he's willing to share with Tang Rao, Tang Rao wouldn't mind befriending Xiao Bai.
Otherwise, with Xiao Bai's juice that prolongs life, his body might have significant utility too.
"I'm the Guardian God of the Zhang Family!"
Cough cough cough.
Xiao Bai was joking with Tang Rao.
"I believed that!"
Tang Rao just nodded symbolically. If one party isn't honest, then the conversation loses its meaning.
"I know you won't believe it, just like you wouldn't believe the Zhang Family would need my blood-red protection. The people who know I exist are all gone from the Zhang Family, as for you, you're just an accident, I didn't expect to be discovered by an outsider."
Xiao Bai feels more aggrieved than anything. To get some good sleep, it directly falls asleep in the soil after loosening it. If Tang Rao hadn't dug it up, it would've been sleeping soundly.
Being hidden for so many years without being discovered, and then uncovered by an outsider after resurfacing, doesn't feel good at all.
"Why should I believe that you're the Guardian God of the Zhang Family? If you really could protect them, the old man wouldn't be searching for external help."
Tang Rao's taunts have no effect on Xiao Bai. After all, it's an aged Guardian God, if provoked by a young one and couldn't hold back, it would only prove that Xiao Bai's cultivation hasn't reached a certain level.
"I can't tell you that yet."
Indeed, tight-lipped! If I tell you, playing like this becomes meaningless.
Not saying anything doesn't make a conversation with Xiao Bai.
"Forget it, anyway, you're useless. How about I expose your whereabouts, letting everyone know there's a little monster called Xiao Bai in the Zhang Family that only brags. Eating its meat grants immortality, drinking its blood prolongs life, and have the whole Divine Realm hunting you down. Imagine how colorful your life will be then?"
Hahaha.
Tang Rao didn't miss it; blood-red itself isn't that strong. Its long concealment only proves its hiding skills are quite good.
Of course, once someone knows about blood-red, no matter how it hides, it cannot avoid worldly scrutiny.
"Please, I'll tell you everything, but you have to keep my existence a secret. Unless you truly can't protect me, don't ever say it."
Blood-red made its first transaction with Tang Rao, using its identity.
"I promise."
Tang Rao nodded; this small request, he could still agree to for blood-red.
"I truly am the Guardian God of the Zhang Family, protecting them for a thousand years, but my presence is in the realm of feng shui, not real power."
Talking about its lack of real power, blood-red shed a tear of bitterness.
"The old man summoned me from a place I've already forgotten, put me in a jar, placed me at the altar, and with me there's a pair of jade pendants. I remember the Zhang Family ancestor saying, to merge them with the power of light, they must use the mucus from my body."
What?
Blood-red's mucus is connected with Tang Rao's jade pendant.
Red is the color of light, and it explains why last time when Tang Rao attempted to merge the jade pendants, Tang Xiaobai warned him that merging would cost his life. He couldn't understand why until now; it lacked something. Acquiring the mucus from blood-red would make merging the jade pendant no longer a dream.
Perhaps Tang Rao might seek blood-red's help for a bit of mucus, saying nice things to blood-red to willingly offer him its stuff.
"Uh, Blood-red, right? You have a lot of mucus, aren't you worried about running out?"
The tone and look of the inquiry, it's almost unimaginable how cautious he is.
"Why are you asking? My mucus is only useful to me, it's useless to you."
Otherwise, it wouldn't use the mucus to fertilize the soil, loosen it.
"I find it useful, who says it's not? I'm just asking if you can leave some for me."
Ah, men!
Blood-red sighed silently.
"Sure, but why should I give it to you? Let's keep things straight, aside from threatening to reveal my whereabouts, what will you use to trade with me?"
Blood-red is still a guardian with dignity, even if not powerful. Why should it be led by a young Tang Rao?
"Oh, nothing. If you don't give it, I'll tell everyone the Zhang Family has a little worm claiming to be a Guardian God, making your reputation worthless."
Heh heh heh, want to spar with Tang Rao?
Tang Rao sees blood-red fear of his revealing its whereabouts, only daring to act so arrogantly.
"I'll give it, but it'll take some time. The mucus on me is in the replacement phase; the old mucus has lost its effect, so I use it to enrich the soil."
So that's it. Didn't expect blood-red's mucus to have a replacement say.
It turns out to be quite straightforward; since meeting Tang Rao, it said everything, not trying to hide anything, considered a good being.
"Deal. With your sincerity, I've decided to keep your secret. Even if Tang Rao is threatened and enticed, I won't reveal your existence, little cutie, go loosen your soil, Tang Rao daddy is going to have a lovely sleep."
Tang Rao yawned and was ready to head to his room.
The moment he turned around, a ghostly chill suddenly swept across his face.
Tang Rao is sensitive; he dodged instantly when sensing the chill approaching.
"I forgot to remind you, are you really planning to stay in this room tonight?"
Blood-red's eyes revealed full disbelief.
"Is there a problem?"
Besides the chilling aura from an uninhabited room, there seems nothing unusual.
Although Tang Rao had suspected Zhang Kexin earlier.
