Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

Chapter 11: Evil Spirit.

Shuofeng cliff.

The top of the cliff was an open land of red leaves. Only a tall giant tree stood in the center. The tree was full of red leaves and golden flowers. Looking into the distance, it seemed as if there were countless golden bells hanging on the tree.

The breeze blew and the golden bells swayed. Shen Shu climbed along the branches, staring closely at a brilliantly blooming golden bell flower at the very top.

He stretched his hand forward. Just when his fingertips touched the golden bell flower, a sword energy whizzed by.

Shen Shu's pupils shrank. He quickly plucked the flower off, and retreated back. At the same time, the tree branch in front of him was cut off by the sword energy.

——If he was one step slower to retreat, it would have been his hand that was cut off.

Giving him no time to think, the sword energy began to attack him one after another. Hitting near his feet, it forced him to retreat like a cat to a mouse.

The trunk couldn't bear the violent attacks, and it split with a crack.

Shen Shu jumped to another tree instantly. Accompanied by the sound of a tree trunk crashing to the ground, before he stood, another sword energy hit near his feet. He could only use his strength to leap again. He was in a sorry state being tossed around.

Laughter of several disciples came from below.

"Senior Brother Yuan, did you see the appearance of that little animal scurrying around on the tree? Doesn't it look like a hairless monkey?"

The leader snorted coldly, "It's just a dog who can't learn."

The disciple next to him quickly agreed: "Senior Brother Yuan is right, isn't this beast just a dog with no conscience? When Liu had an accident, he ran out of sight, causing us to have a hard time searching for him. If Senior Brother Ran didn't find out that he was here, who knows how long we would have been looking for."

When talking about Liu's matters, Senior Brother Yuan looked very ugly. He shouted sharply at the tree: "Shen Shu, don't blame me for not reminding you. A dog just needs to obediently lie on the ground. If you don't come down now, when we break your leg, you won't even have the chance to be a dog in the future."

The disciples next to him discerned his words and also began to attack Shen Shu with sword energy.

There were not many places to stand on the tree. Shen Shu's dodging movements became more and more difficult under the intense sword energy attacks.

He narrowly avoided one, but was hit by another sword energy on his back. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the golden bell tree several feet high.

There was a thick layer of red leaves on the ground, but even so, there was still a heavy thump.

Severe pain came from his limbs, but Shen Shu only frowned. He went to touch the golden bell flower in his arms.

It seems that some have been crushed. Later...maybe he will pick another one, he thought.

Several disciples have surrounded him.

Headed by Yuan Yongzhi.

Yuan Yongzhi looked handsome, but his appearance was very mean. His voice was cold and mocking, "Nowadays even dogs can climb trees, Shen Shu, you really opened my eyes."

Shen Shu didn't speak.

"I heard Ran An say that you haven't thrown out the ashes in the medicine stove these few days. When Xu Ze's new medicine needed you, he couldn't find you anywhere. What's this all about?"
