Chapter 205 - Deaths Bell (1/2)

When I walk into the pool room and see Bai Lei crouching next to the dark water, looking as if he's hurt, I quickly run over with worry. I reach out and quickly jerk back when I touch him. He's so hot! I reach out and use my powers to call the water from the pool.

I soak both of us but I don't care. He's literally steaming! When the water touches him, a loud hiss is heard before he finally cools off. ”What the hell happened? Are you okay?” I ask pushing back his long black hair.

His larger hand wraps around mine as he pulls it up to his lips, kissing it before saying ”I'm fine, little star. I told you I would be fine, remember?” I look at him like he has a few screws loose but he ignores the look and slowly stands.

He rolls his shoulders and says ”Thanks for the cold shower.” He then lifts out his hand and opens it. A bell of some kind sways from his hand as he says ”Jiang isn't where he should be so the King will look for him but until then, he said for you to hold onto this.”

I frown at him and reach up to take the bell but he quickly pulls it back and says ”If Jiang or another Demon shows up, just ring it and the King himself will come. It's made from his essence so only he will be able to hear the bell ring.”

I look to the bell then back to him before nodding my head saying ”Got it” He hands it to me and says ”I don't know if we can really trust him or not so unless you absolutely have to, don't ring it.” As soon as I touch the strange bell, I feel a strange pulse of energy go up my arm.

The back of my neck tingles making me slightly shiver. What the hell was that? ”What's wrong?” Bai Lei asks, making me look back at him. I slightly lift my hand saying ”It feels weird.” Bai Lei nods his head and says ”I felt that too. Just be careful with it. It anything, think of it as a backup plan.”

I tie the strange bell to the sash around my waist and say ”I got it but are you sure you're okay? You looked hurt.” Bai Lei smirks and waves his hand, instantly changing his clothes and looking fresh out of the shower.

I shake my head and say ”When I felt your energy, I rushed over here and left Zhen. I need to finish asking him some questions about Hundun.” Bai Lei steps forward and says ”I'll go with you then. What do you need to ask him?”

I turn around and walk beside Bai lei as I say ”It seems Zhen knows Hundun.” Bai Lei frowns but he nods his head and says ”Zhen's been around for a very long time. It's not too surprising if they've run into each other in the past.”

I nod in understanding and quickly shift back over to Zhen. Zhen still stands in the same spot staring at a flower that lightly glows. As soon as we appear, Zhen turns and looks over to us with sharp eyes. After looking Bai Lei over he sighs in relief and says ”That was stupid Deity, even for you.”

Bai Lei smirks and says ”Good to know that you care about me as well, old fox but I'm fine. It was something that had to be done.” Zhen snorts and shakes his head as I say ”I'm sorry for running off. How do you know Hundun?”
