Chapter 271: Let Go, Or I'll Squeeze It To Death

"Questioned, passive value, 1."

Xu Xiaoshou stared blankly for a long time before coming back to his senses. This girl's attire was quite wild!

"What do you mean by seeing and not seeing? Are you talking about that cat?" Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the trajectory, thinking that the cat must be the target of these two. He deliberately probed, "A ghost beast?"

As expected, Jiao Tangtang's expression changed at his words, but quickly returned to normal. She glanced at the gluttonous deity, who had been re-embraced by Xin Gugu below, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You seem quite special?" Jiao Tangtang scrutinized Xu Xiaoshou from head to toe; this young man was indeed very unique.

At first glance, he appeared to be an ordinary spirit refiner, but upon closer inspection, the surging vitality within him was truly rare in the world! A Saint Body? Or a special Spirit Body?

Jiao Tangtang didn't know, but she had become very interested in this young man. Being able to see the gluttonous deity and possessing such vigorous vitality—wasn't he an even more perfect host for the ghost beast than Mu Zixi?

"Little brother, big sister likes you very much. Come with me!" Jiao Tangtang said with a smile. Xu Xiaoshou replied, "What part of me do you like? I'll change it."

Jiao Tangtang's smile froze. Interesting... After a long pause, she licked her lips and said in a tempting voice, "Big sister likes your vigorous physique!"

"Physique?" Xu Xiaoshou hadn't expected this girl to be so provocative. He took a step back, pondered for a moment, then said, "Well, you can like it then. After all, no one can stop your thoughts."

"Uh?" Jiao Tangtang was speechless again. What kind of person was this, not playing by the rules? Could it be that she held no appeal for this young man at all?

"You don't like big sister?" She took a step forward. "If I like you, will you come with me?" Xu Xiaoshou extended his hand sincerely, "In that case, shall we go home?"

Jiao Tangtang's pretty face twitched. She found that in front of this young man, she seemed to have completely lost the ability to speak. Flirting tactics, playing hard to get... They were completely useless! And how could this kid's words be so hard to respond to?

"Phew." Jiao Tangtang took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling. Hold it in. This young man was destined to become the gluttonous deity's ghost beast host; she couldn't act recklessly, couldn't just back out! Go home... how should she reply to him? Go, or not go?

"Tch!" Seeing that the girl didn't react for a long time, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but mumble, "No sincerity." With that, he directly leaped off the rooftop.

A strong gust of wind blew past, leaving Jiao Tangtang a little disheveled. Was this guy serious? Did he really want to go home? No, she was being led astray! She was clearly asking him questions, so how had he ended up leading the conversation? Jiao Tangtang's face darkened. Was this guy doing it on purpose?

"Cursed, passive value, 1, 1, 1, 1..." Xu Xiaoshou used a few words to deflect the topic and finally made his escape. After landing, his system was flooded with messages, and he couldn't help but sigh, baring his teeth.

"Why so much resentment? Your Senior Brother isn't not saving you!" With that, he pressed a hand on Mu Zixi's shoulder, and with a shake, the simple restraint couldn't withstand his strength and was instantly shattered.

Mu Zixi pouted, "You want me to apologize?" Xu Xiaoshou looked at the surrounding crowd and felt a headache coming on.

"How long have I been gone, and you've already caused such a huge commotion?" Two famous swords, two Mo Mos... Junior Sister, you're even more of a troublemaker than me!

This isn't Tianxuan Gate. If these few people unleashed their power, things would truly become disastrous on the spot! "Junior Sister, do you even know how much your Senior Brother sacrificed with that jump?"

Mu Zixi's eyes widened. She didn't care about any sacrifices; what she couldn't forget was that Xu Xiaoshou hadn't arrived like a divine soldier descending from the sky from the very beginning. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Xiaoshou, with practiced ease, covered her mouth and lifted her up.

"No need to say anything more. We can't stay here long. Let's go first!"

"Go?" Xin Gugu, holding his staff and cradling the white cat, took a step forward, blocking Xu Xiaoshou's path. You dared to throw the gluttonous deity; do you think you can just leave?

With a whoosh, Jiao Tangtang also landed again, her beautiful eyes darting about, but she didn't dare to speak easily. Xu Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes.

What you fear most often comes true, doesn't it? He didn't even want that little white cat himself, and they were still blocking him for it? If that's the case, then let's settle everything together!

He looked at the three swordsmen to the side and simply spoke, "The three of you are looking for my Junior Sister, may I ask what for?" Gu Qingyi stared at Xu Xiaoshou for a long time, but ultimately couldn't find even a trace of sword intent on him. As for sword thoughts or anything of the sort, it was even less likely that this kid would possess them.

"Apologies, we've found the wrong person. Please continue." He cupped his fist, then led his two junior brothers away. Xu Xiaoshou raised an eyebrow. They gave up so easily?

Were these three swordsmen really just here to watch? Although he didn't believe it inwardly, he had no other choice at the moment. Even if these three swordsmen intended to reap the benefits later, he could only deal with the two people in front of him first.

Xu Xiaoshou looked at Xin Gugu's golden staff, carefully choosing his words, then suddenly said, "Ghost beast host?"

The moment the phrase was uttered, a murderous intent flickered in the depths of Xin Gugu's eyes. He glanced at Jiao Tangtang to the side, asking with suspicion, "How does this kid know?"

"He can see it." Jiao Tangtang offered no further explanation. With just that one sentence, Xin Gugu understood. This kid could see the gluttonous deity? No wonder... no wonder he knew about the existence of ghost beast hosts!

"This is inside the city," Jiao Tangtang reminded him again. Xin Gugu nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll be quick." Jiao Tangtang slapped him, making his head tilt, and said exasperatedly, "That's not what I meant! This guy has vigorous vitality; he can't be killed!"

Xin Gugu turned back, startled, then carefully observed Xu Xiaoshou, seemingly noticing something. "Are you saying..."

"What are you looking at?" Xu Xiaoshou felt unnerved by their stares and couldn't help but interrupt. These two weren't using telepathy; they were just whispering. How could that escape his "perception"? From the sound of it, were they planning to kill him, or capture him?

Although he wasn't confident in a life-or-death battle with these two individuals, who seemed to be on the level of Gray Fog people, he also wasn't afraid with Ah Jie in his possession. But this was Tiansang City! Fu Yinhong had just left and might return soon. If there was a fight, it couldn't be here. He still had many important matters to attend to; he couldn't afford to be jailed!

"Come here," Xu Xiaoshou beckoned to Xin Gugu. Xin Gugu didn't understand why, but facing someone only at the initial stage of the Yuan Court Realm, how could he be intimidated? He immediately moved closer.

"Is this thing very important to you?" Xu Xiaoshou pointed at the small cat still dazed in Xin Gugu's arms. "Thing?" Xin Gugu's face darkened.

If it weren't for the fact that you're destined to become the gluttonous deity's ghost beast host, you would have died at least ten times by now! He suppressed the urge to attack and gritted his teeth, "This is the gluttonous deity. Watch your words!"

"A deity, huh..." Xu Xiaoshou nodded, indicating he understood. Anything called a 'deity' should at least be a sacred object! If this guy was a cat beast... a sacred cat, a sacred beast? In any case, it must be very valuable!

Under Xin Gugu's bewildered gaze, Xu Xiaoshou stroked his chin and finally came to a firm conclusion. Immediately after, the young man swiftly acted with lightning speed, snatching the small white cat from Xin Gugu's arms and holding it high above his head.

"Move aside, or I'll crush it to death!"
