Chapter 134 A Little Bit of Hardship
As soon as Li Youshui landed on the ground, his previous humble expression vanished. He gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Lin Fan, "You, why!"
Lin Fan stared coldly at Li Youshui, "I never said my surname was Liu, did I?"
Li Youshui grabbed his head in a frantic manner, "Just because of this? Just because I said one word you doubt me, and even though his name is Li Youtian, you still have to believe him!"
Lin Fan frowned slightly. "What's wrong with the name Li Youtian?"
"What's wrong? The Li family patriarch you know is named Li Youtian, don't you know that?!" Li Youshui shouted hysterically, as a black dragon, larger than a lion, rubbed against his body.
Lin Fan touched his neck. "Is that so? I really didn't know."
Li Youshui was taken aback. It was indeed true. After all, who would call their ancestor by his full name?
Lin Fan was somewhat relieved. If he had known that the Li family patriarch was named Li Youtian, he might have been more decisive in taking action against Li Youtian.
Lin Fan set aside the injured and shocked Li Youtian and said to Li Youshui, "So you are the patriarch of the Li family, right? Actually, when I first felt there was something wrong and we were chatting, you were very strange. Why would you inexplicably believe a stranger like me? Li Youtian's attitude was more normal. There is some other evidence, such as the patriarch of the Li family seems to be left-handed. You both injured your right hands, but you are obviously stronger."
Li Youshui was silent for a moment before saying, "Why, why is it always like this? Everyone believes my brother whenever he says or does something. But you, you always doubt me! What's with all this talk about left hand and right hand? It's always some random little piece of evidence that makes you doubt me!"
Lin Fan thought for a moment, "Perhaps Li Youtian is straightforward and doesn't seem like he has any ulterior motives. But you're a bit too polite, as if you're always up to no good."
Li Youshui gritted his teeth, uttering one word after another, "So how exactly did you determine my identity!"
"Even if I had thrown you out just now, it would only have been out of suspicion. If you hadn't been so quick to jump up and admit it, I really wouldn't have been sure."
After all, Lin Fan had always believed that the son of the Black Dragon was the ancestor of the Li family. Who would have thought that the White Dragon would turn black? Every time he encountered such a thing, Lin Fan was quite envious of Ma Liangcai, who was best at reasoning.
Li Youshui gritted his teeth so hard they were about to shatter. He kept pretending he was the same Li Youshui from before, proceeding according to what had happened before. That way, once Liu Feng killed Li Youtian with him, Liu Feng would believe the curse was over.
He was always most worried that Liu Feng would suddenly attack him, so when Liu Feng stopped him, he subconsciously felt that he had been exposed.
Lin Fan slowly approached Li Youshui, holding a black knife. "Let me guess what actually happened. It was all your doing and Huang Haozi's doing, but you wanted to pin the blame on Li Youtian, but you accidentally killed him. You always felt that the clansmen believed Li Youtian, not you, Li Youshui, so you simply claimed to be Li Youtian, and that the culprit who died was Li Youshui. Sure enough, this made everything go smoothly, because the real murderer of the clansmen was Li Youshui."
Li Youshui finally calmed down. So what if his identity was exposed? This was just a means for him to reduce trouble and buy time. Even in the most treacherous place, how could he possibly lose?
As Li Youshui grew taller, his wounds healed quickly. "These are just some past hardships, why bring them up again?"
The already dead black dragon fell from the wall, initially dragging itself along the ground with difficulty, unresponsive to Li Youtian's calls. Its body gradually changed, slowly becoming like a human, crawling forward, with snow-white skin growing from beneath its black skin.
When she stood up, her full and beautiful figure was barely concealed by sparse black fur. Her skin, as white and smooth as jade, had a translucent quality, seemingly devoid of any life. Above her neck, it was a stark contrast of black and white, as if severed, because of a very incongruous black dog's head. In her hand, she held a scythe that Lin Fan had commissioned to be made.
Lin Fan glanced at it and was slightly taken aback. Just by looking at its figure, he could recognize it as the first being he had encountered in this world who defied common sense: the Red-Clothed Curse.
Fei Xueyi nodded slightly to Lin Fan, indicating that she would obey his commands while the cursed seal was in effect, which reassured Lin Fan somewhat. He just hadn't expected her to be hiding on a dog this time. It seemed the original "plot" would have been a black dragon seeking revenge after Li Youshui killed Li Youtian, but the Li family patriarch was not so easily dealt with.
Li Youshui's demeanor was completely different at this moment. The old man, dressed in burial clothes, looked at Lin Fan and the dog-headed red-clothed curse with disdain. "Young man, don't think that you can deal with me with these tricks. I often associate with Taoist masters and know that appearance reflects the heart."
Lin Fan didn't wait for him to finish speaking. He and the dog-headed red-clothed curse charged at him from the left and right, their black blades and scythes flashing alternately. The old man in the burial clothes grabbed a blade in each hand. Blood seeped slightly from his hands, but the two blades seemed to be clamped by iron pincers, unable to go any further.
At this moment, another Lin Fan jumped out from behind Lin Fan, his black blade flashing, and directly slashed off the old man in the burial clothes from the neck. "This time, you cut deep enough!"
Before Lin Fan could rejoice, a giant mouth descended from the sky. Lin Fan and the dog-headed red-clothed curse hurriedly retreated to avoid it, but Li Youshui's body was swallowed whole.
Lin Fan looked up and saw that the black dragon had grown to be as tall as a small mountain. The dog tilted its head back, its Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and swallowed Li Youshui whole.
Lin Fan frowned slightly. He didn't think it was the white dragon turning against its master, nor did he think everything would end so easily.
The Li family members had all rushed over. Li Gengjin, sitting on the tall spirit beast deer, questioned Lin Fan: "Daoist, what's going on? The Li family needs an explanation."
Lin Fan didn't want to pay any attention to them. They were of no help at this time, and besides, he was just a phantom in the Demon Realm. There was no need to care about their lives.
Li Youtian, clutching his hand, struggled to walk over and said to Li Gengjin, "Father, it wasn't Daoist Yunxiangzi's fault. It was because of water..."
Li Youtian paused for a moment, then continued, "You Shui was driven mad by bad people, which is why he did such a thing. Daoist Yun Xiangzi came here to resolve this matter, and Huang Haozi is also in cahoots with the mastermind. That huge monster is my brother's spirit beast."
Then he pointed to the voluptuous woman covered in black fur, "That is my spirit beast."
Lin Fan played along, saying, "I used some tricks to ask your divine beast for help."
Although Li Youtian was just a child, the Li family seemed to believe him completely. As soon as he said that, the Li family immediately turned their guns on the huge black dragon.
puff.
A boil burst open atop the black dragon's head, and the old man in the burial shroud emerged from the yellowish-brown pus. "Young man, you should be happy. You are the first person in the world to directly confront a half-step Divine Transformation beast."
