Chapter 69 - I
It was late at night.
Huo Yao gently combed Xie Zuo’s hair with his fingers and kissed his forehead, the tip of his nose and his lips.
At this time, Xie Zuo was the most well-behaved. His skin was glowing with crystal powder. He nestled in his arms like a kitten and put away his claws.
Xie Zuo also liked the feeling of Huo Yao’s fingertips stroking his scalp, so he pressed it against him again.
Xie Zuo was drifting off to sleep. Suddenly, Huo Yao pulled his hair, which was quite painful. He moved his head and changed his position to continue sleeping.
Another pull, it hurt!
Xie Zuo pushed Huo Yao with his eyes closed, “Move, you’re pressing on my hair.”
Huo Yao hurriedly sat up, pulled Xie Zuo’s long hair behind him, and patted him gently, “Sleep.”
“Yeah.” Xie Zuo was about to fall asleep when his hair was suddenly pulled again. This time it hurt more than before. He opened his eyes angrily and glared at Huo Yao, “Why are you always pulling my hair? It hurts!”
“I didn’t.” Huo Yao looked innocent.
“Who else is it if it’s not you?” Xie Zuo went to smooth his hair, “Hey, something pricked me!” He took his hand in front of his eyes and saw blood coming from his fingertips.
“I know.” Huo Yao reached out to caress Xie Zuo’s back, and sure enough he caught the little thing that was responsible for the crime – a completely transparent and slightly fluorescent sea scorpion.
This sea scorpion was very bold and was not honest in Huo Yao’s hands. It waved its limbs threateningly at him and raised its back belly in an attacking posture. There was a trace of red hanging on its curved stings, which was the blood on Xie Zuo’s fingertips.
Xie Zuo sucked the blood from his hand and pinched the sea scorpion over, “How come there is such a thing on our bed? Ha, you are not the deity of medicine, are you? You are so wretched to come to someone else’s bed to listen on the corner?”
“Huh!” A gust of moist sea breeze blew, and Xie Zuo’s face was covered with moisture, as if someone was angry and spitting at him.
Seeing that he would not be able to sleep for a while, Huo Yao got out of bed, lit a lamp, and brought a clean towel to wipe Xie Zuo’s face.
Xie Zuo said: “I really believe the Deity of Medicine is everywhere now. This woman must have heard me talking about her.” He pinched the curved sting of the sea scorpion and held it up to his eyes to take a closer look, “It seems that this ghost thing is not “Deity of Medicine.”
Huo Yao held his head, “It’s a gadget I found while going out to sea today. I wanted to give it to you, but I forgot about it.”
He knew that Xie Zuo always liked strange creatures, and this sea scorpion was only half a spiritual. This thing was not big, but very fierce. It was not timid when facing him, and it was quite beautiful. He thought Xie Zuo would be happy when he saw it, but who knew he forgot to show it to Xie Zuo when he came back, and it disturbed Xie Zuo’s sweet dream.
Xie Zuo fiddled with the sea scorpion’s claw limbs with his other hand, and sure enough, he pulled out two of his hairs. “You are so brave. You dare to pull my hair and sting me. Do you know who I am?”
The sea scorpion stared at him with its cute little eyes. Suddenly, Xie Zuo’s blood entered its body from its curved stings, and it twitched violently.
The sea scorpion’s entire body changed from transparent to red, flickering and its six pairs of appendages trembled desperately.
Xie Zuo placed it flat in the palm of his hand and said regretfully to Huo Yao, “It’s a pity, you brought it back specially for me and now its life is in danger. Who let you be naughty and sting me, I am the demon king, a drop of blood can kill millions of corpses, let alone a small thing like you.”
Unexpectedly, this sea scorpion was very stubborn and struggled painfully for a long time before it completely died. When Huo Yao saw this, he couldn’t help but feel pity, and gave it another mouthful of blood from his fingertips.
The golden divine blood merged with the demon blood in Sea Scorpion’s body, and Sea Scorpion’s whole body erupted with dazzling golden light.
Whether it was alive or dead depended on its fate.
Xie Zuo felt his arms sink, and when he looked closely, he saw that the sea scorpion did not explode and die. Instead, it swelled to several times its original size, and its eyes was also opened!
Sea Scorpion looked at Xie Zuo and then at Huo Yao, with tears of excitement flowing from its eyes.
Xie Zuo touched Sea Scorpion’s skull and said, “You are really lucky. If you practice for a few hundred more years, you will be able to transform into a human form.”
Sea Scorpion nodded, kowtowed to Xie Zuo and bowed to Huo Yao, very busy.
Xie Zuo yawned, “Okay, okay, go say goodbye, get off my bed quickly, you’re squeezing me to death.”
Sea Scorpion quickly climbed out of the bed and found a corner to lie down.
Xie Zuo looked at Huo Yao and suddenly laughed out loud, “Huo Yao, why does it feel like the two of us just made a child? Look at it, there is my blood and your blood in the body. If you want a child, you might as well adopt it as your adopted son! Hey, are you a male or a female?”
The transparent fluorescence on the sea scorpion in the corner suddenly turned pink, and then a thin voice came from its body, “Reply to Daddy, I am a girl.”
Hearing such a cute girl’s voice, Xie Zuo felt embarrassed. He scratched his head and said to Huo Yao, “She really called me dad… should we adopt it?”
“Nonsense!” Huo Yao pushed Xie Zuo back on the bed, “Sleep.”
If Xie Zuo collected this thing, he wouldn’t be able to take it back to the abyss. It would definitely be taken care of by Mu Rong like Lei Ya.
