Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 249 - Success

Lu Xiucai was quite puzzled as he watched Puppy’s face turn red while the latter clutched his neck.

Didn’t this guy say he was going to display a supernatural skill?

Why does he look so deathly now? Could this be the supernatural ability that he was talking about? Anyone could do that.

“Ka~ Cough!” As Puppy bent over in a violent coughing fit, the short needle wrapped in white silk finally came out and fell onto the ground.

“My heavens, I nearly died here,” muttered Puppy as he looked at the needle wrapped in white silk with some lingering fear in his eyes.

His brain had nearly frozen just now. He had been prepared to take a deep breath before blowing out, but instead, he ended up inhaling that thing into his throat.

Suddenly, Puppy remembered something and leapt up from the ground. Terrified, he opened his mouth wide toward Lu Xiucai and asked, “Quick, quick! Help me see if there’s anything inside my mouth!”

“What? There’s nothing... But why is your throat so small? It feels a bit sticky on the side,” responded Lu Xiucai.

Upon hearing this, Puppy was so scared that his soul nearly left his body. After a moment, he reached two fingers into his mouth and hurriedly probed around his throat. Though it caused him to gag, Puppy found that aside from his throat shrinking a little, there were no other issues.

“That’s good. Fortunately, it got stuck in the throat, and didn’t go down any further. If I had swallowed it, then I might have ended up like Senior Li previously.” muttered Puppy. He knew that he didn’t have Senior Li’s capabilities. He would have definitely turned into a monster.

Finally feeling relieved, he heard laughter coming from the riverside causing his face to turn red from embarrassment as he quickly bent down to retrieve the needle from the grass.

Puppy felt that he had been humiliated before these women, which in his opinion, was something much more serious than the mistake that he had just committed.

“This doesn’t count! Let’s try again!” shouted Puppy. He was unwilling to give up, and directly placed the needle wrapped in white silk back into the small pipe.

After his previous bitter experience, he didn’t dare to be careless again. He took a deep breath and placed his mouth at the end of the small pipe, and then blew hard toward the grazing sheep.

Swoosh!

The needle flew out from the pipe and pierced into the base of the sheep’s black horn.

Then, everyone saw as the sheep’s horn rapidly slid down on the wool, directly reaching its chin.

Instantly, there were exclamations and screams, all of which made Puppy feel extremely satisfied to the point where he almost couldn’t help laughing out loud. However, he pretended to have a nonchalant look on his face as he asked, “How about that? Didn’t I say that I have supernatural abilities? Who else could do this?”

As he spoke, Puppy took out another needle and blew it onto the sheep. This time, it hit its front hoof. Immediately, the sheep’s foot twisted, causing it to stumble and fall onto the ground.

Heh! This thing is really effective! Next time we encounter bandits, I’ll use this to deal with them! But I must remember to take a deep breath before blowing it.

Just as Puppy was feeling satisfied with his masterpiece, one of the women washing the clothes in the river approached him. She had a pear-shaped face, and her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at the pipe in his hands and asked, “What is this, my lord?”

“Hehehe~” Puppy was delighted to be called a lord, his grin stretching from ear to ear. “This is the magical tool I use to display my divine abilities! You can look at it, but you cannot touch it. Ordinary people must not touch it!”

With this topic, the two of them finally began to chat properly.

On the other hand, seeing this scene, Lu Xiucai felt extremely envious. But all he could do was watch on; he did not possess any such items.

Time passed quickly, and the women soon completed washing their clothes.

As he watched them leave, Puppy was happily looking at a white stone in his hands. This was given to him by that woman; she said that she had picked it up by the roadside.

It was a very ordinary stone, at best a little rounder and brighter than the others. But the object itself was not important. What mattered was the intent behind her giving this stone to him.

The flower by Puppy’s ear was also gone; he had given it to the woman.

“Hehe~! Xiucai, I’m going to get married!” Puppy sniffed the stone, and then carefully placed it in his pocket.

As he saw Puppy acting like this, Lu Xiucai started sulking; he felt that this was extremely unfair. Puppy looked like that, with yellow and white patches all over his face. How was he deserving of this?

“No, the flower is too insignificant. I need to give her something more valuable. I’m going to go and borrow some silver from Junior Bai!” Puppy said excitedly while preparing to leave.

“Ah, Puppy, hold on!” Lu Xiucai shouted.

“What? Want to borrow this? I risked my life to obtain this thing!” Puppy walked to the strange-looking sheep and removed the needle before storing it carefully.

“Who wants to borrow that broken toy? I wouldn’t take it even if you gave it to me. It’s just that before leaving, my dad asked me to talk to you about something,” said Lu Xiucai.

Puppy was about to leave, but turned his head back unexpectedly. Lu Zhuangyuan had never asked him about any matters before this.

“How was the Daoist’s facial complexion today?” asked Lu Xiucai.

“Why don’t you go and see for yourself? He’s not too far away,” replied Puppy. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Lu Xiucai.

“Hey, it’s already saddening enough that no woman bothers with me. Puppy, help me this once. I really dare not go there,” pleaded Lu Xiucai.

“What? What did you call me?” asked Puppy, his brows raised.

“Cao Cao, Brother Cao Cao! I beg you! You’re about to get married soon! Adults should be magnanimous,” said Lu Xiucai.

Seeing his pitiful look, there was a hint of glee on Puppy’s face. “What’s there to be afraid of? Can Senior Li eat you? Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to take a look.”

The riverside was not too far from the tents. Not long after, they leaned against the side of a tent and looked at Li Huowang in the distance.

“Is he sharpening knives?” Lu Xiucai asked cautiously.

“No; those are his special instruments that are used for torture. He probably thinks that they have dulled after use, and so he’s sharpening them,” replied Puppy.

“I can’t see his face. Brother Cao Cao, could you help me get closer for a look?” request Lu Xiucai.

“Hey! Why should I go and see? It’s your business; why don’t you go yourself?” questioned Puppy. “But why does your dad want to ask about Senior Li’s facial expression? Does he want to discuss something with Senior Li?”

“I don’t know. My dad has been more worried lately,” replied Lu Xiucai.

At this point, the two of them suddenly noticed that Li Huowang was looking directly at them.

Seeing this, Puppy pushed Lu Xiucai on his back, sending him out from behind the tent’s cover. Then, he walked out as well while smiling widely at Li Huowang.

At that point, Puppy noticed that Senior Li had put away all his torture tools, and hanged them on the lower row of the cowhide bag. Then, he turned and walked toward the two lonely tents in the distance.

“Eh? Senior Li isn’t going to the Black Taisui’s tent, but the other one,” commented Puppy.

“Puppy, what’s in that tent?” Lu Xiucai squinted.

Puppy looked at him with disdain. “That’s none of your business. Go back and tell your dad that Senior Li’s temper hasn’t been good these past few days. If there’s anything he wants to discuss, then he should wait a few more days.”
