ICE & FIRE IMMORTALITY
SNEAKY SKETCHY

"Excuse me? Excuse me? Can you listen? Are you all right?" Tao Hua shook the body of someone he found slowly.

Then, Tao Hua raised his face, looking at Xiao Liu who was just standing watching the two.

"Xiao Liu, come and help me check it out" Tao Hua ordered.

Although a little reluctant, but Xiao Liu did not dare to refute the orders of his master. He also stepped his feet toward Tao Hua and someone who was unconscious.

The figure of a man the same age as Tao Hua was leaning against the wall of the stone cave and looked tormented due to the unbalanced Qi of his body's energy. While Tao Hua tried to wake her up. However, that figure was also unconscious.

"Daughter, stop waking him up. He will not wake up, even if the Princess kills him," Xiao Liu said.

The statement from Xiao Liu made Tao Hua stop shaking his body. Then, Tao Hua said, "Then, what should we do to wake him up? No ... It seems, we have to heal the wound first," Tao Hua said.

"Right, he only regained consciousness after his internal wound was healed," Xiao Liu replied.

"Then I have to heal him" said Tao Hua.

Xiao Liu was stunned when Tao Hua confidently planned to heal his unknown figure.

"In what way? The princess, with her current condition, was afraid that even the spiritual energy that others transferred would not help much. You have never practiced cultivation at all. How do you cure it? He should get treatment from an expert. Only a magic healer can cure him" Xiao Liu explained.

"I know, I know if I don't have cultivation magic. I also learned about traditional medicine. However, it is not traditional medicine that I will use this time. Like you said, he should be handled by the expert. But don't forget, if I have an unbeatable skill set" replied Tao Hua.

The statement from Tao Hua further stirred up Xiao Liu's brain. At first, he did not know what his master would do. However, after thinking it over well, he was finally reminded by one detail that had been revealed for a long time. If Tao Hua had not offended him, perhaps Xiao Liu would have forgotten him.

"Daughter, don't say ... Princess, please think carefully, before deciding to do so. If you do, you know the consequences. The age you have will be reduced by a year. We don't know until when you'll survive. Princess, this is one of the reasons Princess' father did not allow Princess to go to the outside world. Your heart that is too plain is one of the most dangerous things. He's just a stranger. You don't have to help her like that." Xiao Liu tried to persuade Tao Hua to rethink what he would do, because even a ban would not be able to stop the stubbornness of Tao Hua.

About the secret she was referring to, Tao Hua thought that only she knew about it. However, he never expected that Xiao Liu would even know about it once. As for his father, it was definitely the one who told about his secret to Xiao Liu.

Tao Hua's father unhesitatingly gave his great secret to Xiao Liu who was only a guard who was obliged to protect Tao Hua. From this it was known how much his father believed in Xiao Liu.

"True, I know it. Your own father told me, in order to prevent this from happening. Since your father ordered me to protect you, I won't let you do it" Xiao Liu said.

"You dare! Xiao Liu, remember that your current master is me, not my father. No one can stop me. Even if it were you, you wouldn't be able to do it. Xiao Liu, I told you before, if you keep me from doing this and that, you better come back. I am enjoying my freedom. I don't need anyone to limit it. Including saving this man's life, it was my choice. Go back, if your presence beside me only forbids my freedom," Tao Hua said with trepidation, strengthening his jaw and turning his face away from Xiao Liu.

If Tao Hua knew the reason, he would definitely not say those words to Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu did not want to leave Tao Hua, but because he could not go far from Tao Hua. The reason for that, was because Xiao Liu had contracted a blood agreement with Tao Hua by force, ever since Tao Hua was a toddler.

At the time of his hunting, Xiao Liu was left by his mother in the cave alone. When the order of the spirit monster hunt was removed, Tao Hua's father found Xiao Liu left in the cave alone.

Then, Tao Hua's father brought Xiao Liu with him. Apparently, the outside world has changed. The world that originally looked beautiful was radiant, which was visible in Xiao Liu's eyes back then was extremely chaotic.

In fact, at that time there had been a major disaster that wiped out the mainland in China. As told in the Legend circulating in the society, the World Continent got karma from the spirit Monster God who lived in the sea.

The spirit monster god was angry when he heard that his people who lived on land were always hunted by humans. Therefore, he shook the sea and swept across the land of the World Continent in a single strike.

In a Legend, humans could only assume that the Monster God was a spirit monster that had been over hundreds of millions of years old. Therefore, his prowess need not be doubted. In fact, the reason it got the nickname God Mosnter Spirit was because they thought that other than Gods, not a single human in the World Continent had managed to subdue it.

Meanwhile, not long before the great tragedy that swept the World Continent occurred, Father and Mother Xiao Liu had been killed and absorbed his spiritual marbles energy by the people from the protective spirit hall. However, there are a few events that are considered to be deviant.

It was known that back then the higher-ups who served in the Central Hall of the protective spirit wanted the spirit monsters created by the disciples of the Hall of Protective spirits. However, the higher-ups did not succeed in obtaining it, for a reason that is remembered as a taboo for spirit masters and protective spirit hall disciples.

"Hahaha, they're so stupid. It's so easy to fool these fools. They thought, I will share spiritual energy with them, what? Stupidly preserved. Look if I have absorbed all the spiritual energy from the marbles belonging to these spirit monsters. I'll make sure, there won't be anyone in the world who can rival my greatness. Haha."
