YILING PATRIACH'S PROTECTOR

18

Zhen Huatian was passing a large mountain, a dense air of death was lingering around the place. She wasn't perturbed by this and just went on coming up to the mountains. There she saw, some living people and puppets being idle with each other- the living trying to wake up their beloved or family who turn into puppets. The puppets weren't dead, but their all mindless and standing idly. She passed them like their all air. The others didn't dare to reprimind or scold her for this- they all knew that puppet have no cure at all. She stared at the run down temple before opening the door and staring at the dark room. She saw that funny looking statue, dozens of incense and candles and the seals around the statue. Staring intently at it, she felt a sense of familiarity at it before it was blocked by the wall inside her head. She grunted in anger and destroyed the seals. The Statue awakened and stared intently at her.

A self mocking and ruthless smile was on Zhen Huatian's face.

"What? Because I lack the things you need, I am deemed worthless? You ah! Just an aged stone statue, still dare to be picky of your meals! Presumptuous!"- Zhen Huatian released a golden whip from her space and whipped the statue with all her might. Who would've thought that statue's one of its six arms will fall off and get melted?! The Statue was angered, it rushes to pound on Huatian's small and nimble body as she dodged and continue to whip the statue over and over again until it's reduced to crumbles.

Zhen Huatian smirked before turning away. Her poison is very effective, corroding not only flesh and bones but also stones, if she get into a battle, Only she will win! Going to this mountain wasn't just for nothing, she also gathered some of the spirit herbs that were abundant in the lower part of the mountain. After that, she ventured to another forest.

Huatian blinked, staring at a peerless young man looking back at her with a cunning look. Huatian doesn't know whose this peerless person but his aura screams "BAD GUY" all over, Huatian could even bet this guy is psychotic too.

"Beauty~ Why are you here entering my cave?"- Huatian wasn't fazed at him at all and spoke.

"Want to bath,"

"Ai?"

"..."

An awkward silence ensued between them, The guy coughed and look away, clearly embarrassed at her remarks.

"Since when did this place- my cave- became a bathing house?" - He silently muttered before furrowing his brows. Huatian was amused at him,

"I lied,"

"Oh, so that's the ca-"

"I still want to go in"

"But you sa-"

"I want to bath"

"..."

The guy was left speechless. WHO THE HELL IS THIS WOMAN TRYING TO PLAY TRICKS ON HIM?! UNBELIEVABLE!

"Beauty, stop playing around, What do you want?"- He turns serious.

"A poison,"- The man appears enlightened as his cunning look appeared once more.

"Oh I know one poison that could-"

"Not the poison"- she cut him off, The guy furrowed his brows again.

"Then what?"- He's clearly running out of patience.

"A test subject.... that guy on the waters"- She said and pointed behind him. His eyes sharpened as he brandished his sword.

"Don't you dare, Don't you know what that animal is? It's the pet of the person who created the Yin Iron! That thing is the mighty-"

"Turtle"

"*coughs blood*"

Huatian watched as the guy turns pale and unable to refute for a short while. Looking at her in daze as he kept muttering.

"A turtle? That mighty pet of that person- called just a turtle? Wtf? Whose this woman? Unbelievable!"

"Going in," She said and walk inside, the guy hurriedly stopped her.

"You can't kill it!"

"Who said I will"

"But you said test subject"

"Youre a nobody, I'm a stranger, between the two of us, who knows poison and whose not? Scram!"- Huatian leaped down towards the small space towards the nest of the "Turtle". The peerless guy run after her, he was about to stop her again but was stunned at the scene before him.

The waist belt on the floor a few inches away from his feet, the red robe a meter away, he kept his eyes on the ground following the trail of silk clothes towards the waters. He gulped, daring to look up slowly and made his face freeze. The woman was wearing a white silk inner robe.

"Pervert,"

"I-I am not! How dare you a-accuse me!"

"Don't look then, pervert,"

"Y-You!"

Huatian didn't pay him any mind as she awaken the "turtle" and survey its over all form. The Turtle looks around and tries to attack them- She concluded that this big "Turtle" have poor eyesight and the neck have a bunch of scars, the "shell" have a lot of scratches and she also saw the small opening towards the inside of its shell. She was about to take action when that peerless guy pulled her back to a safe distance. She glared at him in annoyance and pull away.

"Can you stop meddling at my business?! So annoying!" The peerless guy was dumbfounded before he glared and pressed her to the stone wall with his dagger on her neck.

"I'm meddling? YOU'RE THE TRESSPASSER WHO WANTS TO KILL THAT ANIMAL! WHY WOULD I LET YOU DO YOUR SO CALLED "BUSINESS" THEN?! SO STUPID WOMAN! YOU BETTER SCRAM AND NEVER COME BACK!"

"Annoying! Be quiet!"

"Get out of here you wild woman!"

"Presumptuous! How dare you label me as such! Pervert!"

"Youre also presumptuous! Shut up and leave!"

"No! You leave instead! Hmph!"

"Y-You! Youre wasting my time and patience! Go before I kill you!"

"You dare? Let's see who will get killed then!"

"Argh! Damn woman! Just die!"

"Perverted man! Get out of my sight!"

They clashed together, a silver double-edged sword and a golden whip, The peerless guy however, didn't see it coming that his weapon will break in two and melt away. He stared at ground dumbfounded, wtf? How could this be possible?!

"Get lost!"- Huatian retrieved her whip and went back towards the giant "turtle", The peerless guy just stared at her stupidly, still unable to move on from the recent past event.
