C14 Embarrassment

CHAPTER XIV Awkward

The Armored Beast seemed to sense danger and tried its best to turn its body. However, because of its actions, it had already begun to move. The old power was exhausted, and there was no way to avoid this fatal blow.

Following a "Puchi" sound, the Armored Beast's triangular eyes lost its light. Then, a rumbling sound was heard as he fell to the ground. Dugu Hong was also drenched in cold sweat from shock. He stood in a daze for a long time.

Ah!" Dugu Hong suddenly let out a loud roar that resounded through the entire forest. Many small animals were frightened and scattered all over the place.

Only now did Dugu Hong come to his senses, his face full of excitement. He could finally hunt a level five Demonic Beast. Next, he expended a great deal of effort.

Suddenly, he ran towards the edge of the forest. What's the swelling? Hehe, he seemed to have forgotten something big. His hands continuously bombarded a large tree that had a person by his side who was hugging it. As he moved, more trees fell. Then, he picked up the two large trees and rushed down the mountain.

Oh, he had forgotten to chop firewood for the beautiful Liu Xu. This was the most important thing! When he was panting heavily at the foot of the mountain, a beautiful scene appeared before his eyes. The gurgling water flowed past a thatched cottage.

There were a few large trees planted around the thatched cottage, and they looked very similar to the poplar trees he had seen in his previous life. There was a fence on the side, and a few pheasants were walking around the fence. What made Dugu Hong's eyes even more unmoving was that Liu Xu was washing clothes by the water.

He looked at her curvy back and her long, slender legs as she squatted and tightly pulled on her clothes, making her seem even more perky. Seeing this, Dugu Hong's eyes were straight.

His brain began to fill up immediately. In his previous life, the female celebrities of Japan that he saw on the computer were trash compared to Liu Xu. This was a natural beauty. The pink arms were exposed to the air for washing clothes. Maybe she had heard the commotion caused by Dugu Hong, but she suddenly turned her head to look.

Her clear eyes and white teeth matched her compact figure. Dugu Hong instantly forgot about his surroundings, and stood there blankly for a long time without moving.

"Idiots!" Being stared at so directly by Dugu Hong, Liu Xu's face became slightly red. However, he was still very happy in his heart. Every woman wished for him to have himself in the hearts of the men she fancied. The first thing they wanted to leave behind in a man's heart was definitely her appearance.

However, it was due to the bashfulness of the young girl. She was still a little embarrassed. After all, this guy was too direct. Beautiful ladies shouldn't be so direct! You even let a beauty … Thinking about it, Liu Xu rolled her eyes at Dugu Hong and said.

At this moment, Liu Xu had already stood up, and the mountain peak that already had some scale was about to be revealed the moment she stood up. This caused Dugu Hong to be immediately stunned. No, he was already in a daze …

Liu Xu's entire body felt uncomfortable under his direct gaze and she could not help but give him another fierce glare. Only then did Dugu Hong regain his senses, and he looked at the ground awkwardly. He looked just like a child who had made a mistake.

Seeing Dugu Hong's embarrassed look, Liu Xu could not help but let out a laugh. This made Dugu Hong even more bashful, he did not know where to put his hands. He kept rubbing it back and forth.

"How big of a pot will I have to bear if you can bring such a big tree over?" Seeing Dugu Hong's awkward appearance, Liu Xu felt too embarrassed to make things difficult for him anymore. However, he still couldn't let this fellow off so easily. She always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Eh, oh!" After hearing what Liu Xu said, Dugu Hong immediately started to cut down the trees. This was not a problem for the current him. Soon, the two trees turned into a pile of tiny branches.

"Come, drink some water!" Looking at Dugu Hong who was sweating, Liu Xu was very happy. He quickly scooped a ladle of water from the water jar and handed it over. Dugu Hong gulped down the entire ladle of water in a single breath.

That was truly comfortable! This water is really very sweet.

"Wait a moment!" Dugu Hong suddenly remembered something and immediately ran away. This made Liu Xu, who was holding a ladle, speechless as she watched his figure gradually disappear. He didn't know what he wanted to do.

However, her eyes soon lit up. Because, Dugu Hong was already carrying two big trees down the mountain. This guy was really full of energy now!

Looking at Dugu Hong's busy figure, Liu Xu directly went back to cook. She wanted to give Dugu Hong more food. The meat of those Demonic Beast that Dugu Hong gave her last time had already dried up. Now was the time to feed him.

However, when she finished cooking and came out to look for Dugu Hong, she found that he had already left. He glared at the pile of firewood in dissatisfaction, then returned to his room to fiercely deal with the Demonic Beast's meat. It was as if the meat of these Demonic Beast had enmity with her.

"Cough, cough …" Coughing sounds came from the room. The thought that had been floating in her mind came back. He quickly scooped some food out of the wok and headed inside.

The interior of the hut was dimly lit. However, a middle-aged man could still be seen lying on the bed with a sickly expression. He saw his extremely shriveled face and his face that was flushed from coughing.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was that his eyes occasionally shone with a terrifying light. When he felt that someone had walked in, the terrifying light had disappeared. On the contrary, it had turned into a look of love.

"That kid is pretty good!" His sudden words without any clues made Liu Xu's face turn red.

"Father!" Liu Xu said unwillingly.

"Alright, alright! Father will not say anymore. "Young man, you're not bad. Next time when you come, ask him to come and see me." The middle-aged man chuckled as he spoke.

"What do you want?" Hearing her father's words, Liu Xu looked at him very vigilantly and asked. This made the middle-aged man speechless. They had only known each other for a short period of time, but he was already closer to them than his father. He really couldn't hold a girl back!

"I just want to take a look. Besides, an ugly son-in-law would always have to see his father-in-law!" The middle-aged man quipped.

"Father!" What did you say? Your daughter will never marry, so you'll stay by your father's side and serve your father. " Liu Xu said hesitantly as her father had taken her in.

"Alright, alright! It was a deal. Hm, it smells so good! It had been a long time since he had such a delicious Demonic Beast meat. Hurry up and bring it over! " The middle-aged man saw that his daughter was too shy to continue teasing him.

"Oh, yes! This must be the kid staying for dinner! " After eating a few mouthfuls, the middle-aged man seemed to have realized something and raised his head to ask Liu Xu with a smile that was not a smile.

"Are you going to eat? "If you don't eat, I'll take it!" Liu Xu was embarrassed after being told this by her father. How does this look like Father!? This was simply a disrespectful old fogey.

"Hehe!" I'll eat, I'll eat! "Don't …" It had been a long time since the middle-aged man was this happy. Ever since he had become like this, he had been worried about the future of his daughter. Now that his daughter had gotten her hands on him, she could finally relax.

Of course, seeing her father so happy, Liu Xu felt a lot more at ease. For a few years now, all she had been doing was hoping that her father would recover soon. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she'd seen her father smile.
