Heaven Defying Medical Consort - Chapter 22
Chapter 22: Golden-Eyed Pegasus
An intense pain spread from his abdomen, and Luo Xuanshuang’s expression changed.
He raised his hand and attacked Xiao Muling.
At this moment, Xiao Muling pulled out the dagger that had stabbed into Luo Xuanshuang’s abdomen and backed three steps away, avoiding his palm.
When she pulled out the dagger, she even twisted the handle and let the sharp blade stir in his flesh.
Luo Xuanshuang staggered a step backward as the pain assaulted him. He looked down at his wound, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His gaze then landed on Xiao Muling, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
As Xiao Muling walked over, his fingers transformed into the shape of sharp claws as he lunged at her throat!
When Xiao Muling saw his actions, she speedily moved her body and condensed the energy that surrounded her body to protect herself.
Luo Xuanshuang’s expression changed slightly when he saw her dodging. He immediately grabbed Xiao Muling’s shoulder with one hand and aimed for her throat with the other!
At the same time, Xiao Muling walked toward him.
Before his hand could grab her throat, the short sword in her hand fell toward him. His hand—which was aiming at Xiao Muling’s throat—immediately grabbed her hand that was holding the short sword!
They were in a stalemate. Xiao Muling’s sharp blade was unable to land.
She gathered her strength, turned around, and moved to the side. Then, she shook off Luo Xuanshuang’s hand.
In the blink of an eye, she had walked three steps away.
Luo Xuanshuang was shocked to see Xiao Muling three steps away. ‘How does Xiao Muling have such a movement technique? She is someone who doesn’t know how to cultivate. Even if the Xiao family has taught her martial techniques and moves, she shouldn’t have such speed!’
The moment he was stabbed, he actually felt that Xiao Muling wasn’t a piece of trash but an expert who had been hiding for a long time!
Even now, she was giving off the same feeling. Not only did she have an extraordinary aura, but her aura was also terrifying just by standing there. She was like a true expert!
“Ling’er!” The voice could be heard before the person even arrived.
Upon hearing the voice, Luo Xuanshuang immediately took out a dark-colored cloak from the ring on his finger and draped it over his body to conceal himself.
As he circulated his Spirit Martial Art to stop the bleeding, his face turned slightly red.
He was a genius from the Realm of Summoning, but he had been stabbed by a piece of trash. If word got out, people would laugh at him!
Xiao Muling saw the power surrounding his body and understood.
Wood attribute.
It was said that only wood-attribute martial spirit power could heal a person. The layer of power around his body was the color of wood-attribute power.
When Xiao Muling heard the commotion outside, she put away the dagger and threw it into the bushes at the side. Then, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.
She also didn’t want her father to know about this matter. Otherwise, she would’ve told him about that day.
“Ling’er!”
The bloodthirsty look in Xiao Muling’s eyes disappeared as she walked around Luo Xuanshuang. “Father?”
‘Why is he in such a hurry?’
Xiao Canglan pulled her and looked around nervously.
“Father?” What happened?
“Other than Young Master Luo, did anyone else come here?” Xiao Canglan’s expression softened after confirming that there was no danger here.
“Young Master Luo said that he’s leaving,” Xiao Muling said coldly as she glanced at Luo Xuanshuang from the corner of her eyes. ‘Since I can’t kill him now, I will find another chance! This is good as well. Letting him die here is also giving myself and my father trouble.’
“Family Leader Xiao.” Luo Xuanshuang walked over. ‘How can I leave like this? She hasn’t told me about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox!’
Xiao Canglan came really fast.
Luo Xuanshuang had been on guard since coming to the Xiao family residence. He was only able to go to the Xiao family’s mountain last time because of Xiao Liangxiao and Xiao Muling.
Xiao Canglan gave him a look of disdain and replied coldly.
The people who followed behind hurried over and checked the surroundings as soon as they entered the courtyard. However, not to mention magical beasts, but even domestic animals couldn’t be seen in this courtyard.
“Young Master Xuanshuang.” When He Qin saw Luo Xuanshuang, he immediately walked over and cupped his fists with a smile.
Luo Xuanshuang cupped his fists as well. “Family Leader He.”
‘Luo Xuanshuang!’ Seeing that Luo Xuanshuang was here, the others stopped searching and walked over instead.
They completely ignored Xiao Muling. Even if they saw her, they wouldn’t look at her directly.
Looking at them, Xiao Muling was puzzled. ‘These people are all experts; the aura on each of them is very strong. They should all be experts from Archean Spirit Kingdom; why are they gathering at the Xiao family today?’
While looking at them, Xiao Muling’s gaze turned cold. She then recalled Luo Xuanshuang’s intentions and frowned slightly. ‘Could it be that they are also here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox?’
“Young Master Xuanshuang also heard the magical beast’s roar?” asked He Qin in pleasant surprise. ‘If that’s the case, it will save us trouble.’
“Beast roar?” Luo Xuanshuang asked. ‘So many experts specially came to the Xiao family residence just because of a beast’s roar?’
“My father is a Summoner. What’s so strange about having a beast roar at home?”
Everyone looked at Xiao Muling.
‘She… Xiao Muling!’
‘That piece of trash from the Xiao family!’
Seeing that Xiao Muling didn’t have any Spirit Qi, everyone instantly understood.
‘So this is Xiao Muling. We have finally met her.’
‘The half of her face covered by the mask is probably the one with the birthmark.’
“Xiao Muling, you…”
“He Qin!” Xiao Canglan glared at them, warning them with his eyes. ‘If they dare to say even half a word, don’t blame me for being impolite!’
Upon seeing Xiao Canglan’s gaze, everyone coughed lightly and didn’t continue.
“Is everyone too nervous? Family Leader Xiao is a Summoner.” Luo Xuanshuang glanced at Xiao Muling.
It was rare that she didn’t have stage fright in front of so many experts. If it were in the past, she would’ve hidden behind others.
“But the Nine-Tailed…” He Qin still wanted to say this, but a clear voice came from the horizon.
Ring~
A crisp sound traveled with the wind, spreading to every corner.
When everyone heard the commotion, they looked up into the sky nervously. Even Xiao Canglan and Luo Xuanshuang’s expressions changed drastically when they heard the commotion.
Puzzled, Xiao Muling followed their line of sight.
A snow-white carriage came from the horizon, looking noble and gorgeous!
Xiao Muling immediately recognized the three snow-white horses pulling the carriage. They were Golden-Eyed Pegasi!
These three were one in a million because only one out of tens of thousands of Pegasi could fly!
Normally, one would have to pay an extremely great price to possess one, yet this person possessed three at the same time. He even utilized these three golden-eyed horses for pulling the carriage!
These three Golden-eyed Pegasi were at least Heaven-rank, and their bloodline was pure!
They pulled the gorgeous carriage over. Behind them was the blazing sun. In a daze, they seemed to have walked out from the fiery sun.
The snow-white carriage and the horse seemed to be lit up by the blazing sun. It was so beautiful that one couldn’t take their eyes off it.
The golden bell hanging in front of the carriage gave off a sound. The sound spread out with the wind and fell into the hearts of the crowd, lingering for a long time.
The totem outside the carriage was very complex. For a moment, it was hard to say what it was, but it was quite beautiful. At the top of the carriage was a Mystic Dragon that soared into the sky. Its majestic aura enveloped the carriage as if it would burst out at any moment and roar toward the nine heavens!
