Vol 8 Chap 258 - Da Bei, can we trade rooms?

XH 258 - Da Bei, can we trade rooms?

"Okay, this looks exactly… erm, better than I imagine, but how do we get the demon in? The coffin interior is quite deep and she needs to fall in to get stabbed. She will immediately sense something wrong before she gets the chance to be stabbed."

"Throw her in?" The system suggested.

"Who, you?" Xiao Hua has no plans to approach Fu Chou, much less touching her. 

"I don't have hands to throw her in!" The Rubik cube manages to sound regretful with its robotic voice. 

Xiao Hua tightened her grip on her whip. "I can try to throw her in using my whip... Da Bei? What are you-"

Numerous sharp icicles were floating midair, right before the portal that Fu Chou was coming through. To be able to squeeze the icicles between the portals, they had to be made in short length, but they still looked sharp and deadly. 

Da Bei was a snow wolf, which she had known to be able to use snow as their weapon, but she had never seen Da Bei using this type of ice attack before.

In a daze, Xiao Hua praised in a dreamy manner. "Da Bei, you truly are a miracle worker."

Da Bei had grown stronger too, even more than her. Yu Zheng had been kind to give Da Bei some pointers during his training. 

Fu Chou will be walking straight into the iceles if she continues crossing. At the right moment, Da Bei will make sure she will be injured by the trap before she could retreat. 

"...Why did he have so much of your tea?" The Rubik Cube asked dubiously when Da Bei pulled out a familiar bamboo tube bottle and poured the content over the icicles, enough for every of them. 

It was Xiao Hua's tea that she had brewed for him today. 

The system quickly slowed down even further of Fu Chou's portal speed so that Da Bei could finish laying down the trap in time. 

After that, Da Bei used his spiritual energy to wrap around the icicles to stop the liquid from disappearing, just like the way Xiao Hua had done before with her whip.

"...I thought he had finished drinking it." It was nearly dinner time after all. "But good job, Da Bei!" Xiao Hua cheered. Perhaps Fu Chou would fear her tea as well?

"Ready? I will resume the original speed!" 

"Okay! Return to normal speed!" Xiao Hua answered when Da Bei turned to look at the Rubik cube that was invisible to his eyes.

The speed that Fu Chou took to cross over the portal was back to normal. However, it still looked slow in Xiao Hua's eyes, as her heart sped up in fear and anticipation and her blood pumping fast. Her body unconsciously bent forward with her unblinking eyes that was afraid to miss out even a second when the demon finally walked right into the trap.

At the same moment, Fu Chou suddenly sensed danger, her instinct telling her to stop moving. It was telling her that there was something dangerous at the other side of the portal. 

The injury made by Xiao Hua's whip was already healed, but Fu Chou suddenly felt pain coming from it. She touched her chest, but there was no sign of injury, just phantom pain.  

Coupled with the fact she had been trying to reach out to the girl's location but failed several times, Fu Chou obeyed her instinct and retreated. The portal closed right after she retrieved her hand back.

Could it be that girl was already dead?

That could be one of the explanations why the array that was working as it should could not locate Xiao Hua and always sent her back to where she started.
