Cheng Xiaoxiao stood quietly and waited to gather even more spiritual energy as Uncle Gen attacked her with Cold Wind Attack. She failed to detect the furtive devious smile on Uncle Gen’s face.

Wind kept howling by Cheng Xiaoxiao’s ears and sounded absolutely chilling before it finally surged towards her once more.

Here goes!

“Ah…” shouted Cheng Xiaoxiao.

The jade pendant didn’t levitate and help to fend the attack off and absorb spiritual energy. Instead, Cheng Xiaoxiao was hit squarely by Uncle Gen’s attack.

Fortunately, she was standing slightly sideways out of habit. Otherwise, she would have died immediately.

What happened here?

Cheng Xiaoxiao covered her aching shoulder as she looked at Uncle Gen angrily with her big eyes.

Uncle Gen chuckled without restraint when Cheng Xiaoxiao lost all her audacity. He laughed cunningly as he said, “Didn’t see that coming, right? Cold Wind Attack isn’t my only move.”

“Remember this well! This is called Violent Wind Blast!”

The moment Uncle Gen finished his sentence, he summoned yet another attack. This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao found his gestures familiar. It was the same move, Violent Wind Blast.

Violent Wind Blast felt eerie. She felt as though icy winter wind was blowing on her at this strength of a typhoon.

Although it did not bring about any penetrating attack, she could sense a dull ache running through her body.

Cheng Xiaoxiao reckoned that half her shoulder was probably red and bruised. After all, she was in so much pain that she was already numb. She attempted to rub her shoulders and ease the numbness.

She could not stand around rubbing her shoulders! She had to run!

Uncle Gen had already unleashed a second Violent Wind Blast and the wind was coming straight for her. Cheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly darted around the room to avoid it.

“You stupid old man! How could you be so shameless?” Cheng Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost jumped.

She did not see this coming from Uncle Gen. Since he kept using Cold Wind Attack previously, Cheng Xiaoxiao simply thought it was the only move he was capable of. However, he unexpectedly used this new move on her.

Violent Wind Blast was completely different from Cold Wind Attack. Cold Wind Attack was a mental attack while this new move was purely physical.

It was nothing like ghost Qi or Yin energy. Instead, Uncle Gen had done something to the air around Cheng Xiaoxiao and made them turn into blasts of wind before forcing them in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s direction.

Uncle Gen felt pleased as he watched Cheng Xiaoxiao running around. He raised his head to the sky and laughed sinisterly and was in a good mood.

“Weren’t you full of big talk? What about now?”

Most of the time, wind made a howling sound, but Cheng Xiaoxiao could sense something different about the sound of this attack.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could hear a swishing surging in the wind in all directions.

The moment she was slow, the wind would come crashing down on her mercilessly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could only pull the fallen super zombies on the ground to block the attack every now and then. After the wind stopped, she went somewhere else.

“You stupid old fool! You will die a horrible death!

Even though Cheng Xiaoxiao was desperately dodging the attack, she continued cursing Uncle Gen.

“It’s okay. You will die before I do!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was busy handling Uncle Gen’s attack while Uncle Gen focused on the jade box buried in the ground. The two of them conceived different ideas as they fought.

To be precise, Uncle Gen was having overwhelming success at attacking Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Since there were super zombies sprawling all over the ground, the scent of decay refused to dissipate for a long time. Xiaowu and the others continued lying motionlessly on the ground. They seemed like sleeping beauties she read about in fairy tales. They were unable to regain consciousness without the kiss of true love from a prince.

No one noticed when one of the princesses lying on the ground got tired of waiting to be rescued by a prince and groggily opened his eyes.

His eyes were bright, beautiful, and were as dazzling as the stars in the sky. His eyelashes were long and curly and seemed like lush feather fans.

Uncle Gen ran in the opposite direction of his attack towards Cheng Xiaoxiao.

He was still dragging his bad leg on the ground, but the bleeding from his head was staunched. The blood on his face had dried up, so some flakes of dried blood fell off as he laughed and spoke.

The moment Cheng Xiaoxiao heard the wind howling around her, every hair on her body stood up and every nerve in her body felt like exploding.

When was this going to end?

If Uncle Gen kept attacking her with Violent Wind Blast, Cheng Xiaoxiao might just pass out from fatigue.

However, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt there was something strange going on with Uncle Gen. If the jade box was that important to him, why couldn’t he just take it? Instead, he kept chasing her around.

Was he just stopping her from touching the jade box?

He kept telling her not to touch it. Did that mean the box couldn’t be moved?

Would the formation disappear without the jade box? Were Chu Yunshen and the others still unconscious because she had yet to genuinely destroy the formation?

Questions kept emerging in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mind. In an effort to prove her theory, she deliberately ran halfway around the house before she got to the jade box at the center of the room. This time, Uncle Gen halted a few steps in front of her.

Would she be in time?

“Stop!” Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She hurriedly contemplated and hoped Uncle Gen would fall for her ploy this time. “S-s-stop right there!”

Uncle Gen didn’t know what Cheng Xiaoxiao was trying to do, so he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

He surprisingly halted without going forward. The Violent Wind Blast stopped behind Cheng Xiaoxiao and did not attack her either.

Did it work?

Her ruse genuinely worked!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was beside herself with joy. She was unsure whether she was a genius or if she had Uncle Gen to thank for being naive.

Her eyes landed on Uncle Gen’s injured head before she thought about that lucky stone lying in the corner.

Okay then!

He might have a new move, but she also had something big in mind for him.

Cheng Xiaoxiao pretended to be anxious and stammered to Uncle Gen, “I didn’t know better and offended you earlier. Can you be magnanimous and forgive me this once?”

“…”

Uncle Gen was unmoved by the total change in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s attitude. Instead, he quietly watched Cheng Xiaoxiao’s performance.

That stupid old man! Just he wait!

Even though Cheng Xiaoxiao cursed Uncle Gen in her heart several times, he did not sneeze for some reason.

Sure enough, evil people didn’t deserve any warning when they got scolded!

Cheng Xiaoxiao just knew Uncle Gen wouldn’t fall for her ruse easily, so she continued reasoning with him.

“Uncle Gen, I am really sorry. I don’t want the jade box, so you can help yourself to it.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly used her jade pendant to manipulate the rock to fly towards the back of Uncle Gen’s head as she spoke.

She continued patronizing Uncle Gen with pure lies, “I am really not interested in the jade box. Be my guest!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao shouted her last sentence as the rock came smashing on the back of Uncle Gen’s head viciously.

Sadly, Uncle Gen evaded the rock at a shocking speed and caught Cheng Xiaoxiao by surprise.

He merely moved his head by 30 cm and evaded the rock entirely.

“Kid, don’t bother using the same trick on me twice. It doesn’t work on me anymore.”

The moment Uncle Gen finished his sentence, he approached Cheng Xiaoxiao without waiting for her to reply. The Violent Wind Blast also reached Cheng Xiaoxiao from behind.

Oh no! He figured out what she was trying to pull!

Cheng Xiaoxiao shouldn’t have gotten cocky. Now she was dead meat!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was beside herself with anxiety. However, she wanted to make one final desperate attempt. She recalled what she thought about the jade box and said in a quick-witted manner, “I suggest you stop right there! Don’t come any closer! If you do, I will smash this!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao promptly squatted beside the jade box and raised the sword sheathe in her hand. She acted as though she would smash the jade box the moment Uncle Gen made any moves on her.

Uncle Gen smiled at her ambiguously for a second as he glanced at her. It seemed as though he had just heard something absolutely idiotic.

“Go ahead! Don’t you know the jade box is indestructible?

“Moreover, how could you dream of smashing this treasure with just a stupid sword sheathe? Dream on!” Uncle Gen smiled contemptuously.

Indestructible?

That sounded true.

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that her lies were only good enough to fool a three year old.

Oh no. She was genuinely dead meat!

Cheng Xiaoxiao really wanted to cry. She could only watch helplessly as Uncle Gen moved in on her.

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly jumped and dodged to the left like a cat in the nick of the moment.

Hahahaha!

He must not have expected that!

Fortunately, she was usually in cat form. Otherwise, she would be a goner by now.

Cheng Xiaoxiao evaded sideways before she started to make a run for it. The Violent Wind Blast quickly followed behind her and refused to give up. She saw Uncle Gen coming from the opposite direction as she ran.

The Violent Wind Blast came chasing after her, but Cheng Xiaoxiao was genuinely exhausted.

This house had limited space, so she could only keep dodging sideways.

Sadly, the Goddess of Fortune wasn’t always on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s side. Perhaps she happened to be on leave today.

There were a lot of fallen super zombies on the ground. Previously, Cheng Xiaoxiao was able to use them to protect herself from the Violent Wind Blast. However, they ended up being a burden for Cheng Xiaoxiao now.

They were tripping her.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was already exhausted, so she got tripped by one of the super zombies when she ran.

Cheng Xiaoxiao fell squarely at the center of the room where the jade box was placed when she fell. She nimbly hid the jade box beneath her and held it in her arms.

Despite Cheng Xiaoxiao’s agility, her mind was in a daze.

She did not know what she was thinking. The Violent Wind Blast was almost about to strike her, but she automatically held the box with all her might.

Never mind. If she had to die, then so be it!

Even if she had to die, she had to die trying.

Cheng Xiaoxiao made up remind and held onto the jade box tightly.

She was not going to let the annoying Uncle Gen have the jade box. If he was able to take it from her, he was welcome to try.

No, correction. She would rather get buried here with the box than let him have it.

Even if she died, she would not let Uncle Gen off. If Uncle Gen ended up killing her here, she would transform into a vengeful spirit and guard the jade box. She would scare the hell out of the old man.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt particularly calm when she was on the brink of death.

Come on! Just do it!

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt ready to die altogether and be done with her life.

Otherwise, she would fight Uncle Gen to death!
