Beast Blood Boiling 2
When Hu Gao and Yun Feng returned to the ancestral hall with their exhausted bodies, the surviving members of the Hu family were clearing up the traces left by last night's great battle and rebuilding those damaged houses. The vast Hu family couldn't see a single elder's shadow. Just like last night, all the elders of the Hu family had disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.
And at this moment, leading the Hu family members in rebuilding work was actually Hu Wu Shuang!
Hu Gao felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, and he quickly rushed over, not avoiding others at all. He directly questioned: "Hu Wu Xiong! Tell me, what exactly happened with the nine-tailed demon fox yesterday?"
Hu Wushuang saw Hu Gao return safely, her heart skipped a beat, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, which also contained a few parts of concern. However, it was only for an instant before she regained her composure, putting on a stern expression and saying, "A small trick from the Lang family, are you okay? I heard from Yang Le that you were very brave yesterday."
Listening to Hu Wu Shuang's nonchalant reply, Hu Gao flew into a rage, his two hands grasping tightly onto Hu Wu Shuang's shoulders as he bellowed loudly: "Don't try this with me! If you've got the guts, look into my eyes and repeat what you just said!"
Hu Wusong was startled by Hu Gao's sudden outburst, having never had a man dare to behave in such a manner towards her before. "How dare you! Hu Gao! Let go!"
"Let you go!" Hu Gao's spittle stars all splashed onto Hu Wushuang's face, he felt that he had been fooled, the Hu family had never truly recognized him, it was ridiculous that he actually listened to the second elder's words, at the most critical moment of the Hu family, he risked his life and rushed out, and after being injured, he hurried back to the Hu family in the first place!
What has he got back from everything he did until today?
It's distrust! It's completely not treating him as a member of the Hu family, not even daring to tell him the most basic truth. What's the point of staying in such a Hu family?
The young masters of the Hu family next door were also frightened by Hu Gao's impulsive behavior, but they knew this was a matter for those in higher positions and they couldn't afford to provoke them, so they quickly fled the scene.
"Hu Gao, have you gone mad?" Hu Wu's pretty face turned red. In fact, with her strength, she could easily break free from Hu Gao's restraints, but this time, she knew she was in the wrong and didn't manage to escape Hu Gao's grasp.
"Mad?" Hu Gao burst out laughing, "On the contrary, I've never felt as clear-headed as I do today. The mad one is you, and it's laughable that the Hu family would be like this! Fine, since none of you can tell me the truth at this point, then I'll leave. From now on, Ning City's Hu family has nothing to do with me, Hu Gao!"
Hu Gao excitedly finished speaking and without hesitation released Hu Wushuang, then turned around and left.
"Hú Gāo! Don't!" Hu Wúsuō grabbed Hú Gāo's hand and, in her excitement, directly pulled him over and into her arms.
Hu Gao didn't expect Hu Wushuang's strength to be so great, and for a moment he couldn't react in time, his face almost smashing into hers.
The ambiguous atmosphere created unintentionally by the two of them left both parties somewhat surprised and silent for half a day.
It was Hu Wushuang who finally broke the awkwardness, releasing Hu Gao's hand and saying softly, "Forgive me, things are not as you imagine, the Hu family is now in its most critical moment, don't go, okay?"
Hu Gao didn't expect Hu Wushuang to say something like that, although her tone had softened, but the meaning contained in her words made Hu Gao even more disappointed. It turned out that he was just a tool in Hu Wushuang and the Hu family's eyes, or perhaps just the so-called hope for the revival of the Hu family. This was the one thing he couldn't bear!
"Sorry, I've said it before, Hu's family affairs have nothing to do with me, Hu Gao, from now on. You all take care of yourselves and cherish each other!"
Hu Gao turned his head around, just about to shout for Yun Feng to leave, but found that this kid had slipped away quietly, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"Hu Gao!" Hu Wushuang didn't expect herself to be in such a lowly position, and this guy still had an uncooperative attitude, which made her somewhat angry. "I'm your fiancée, can you bear to leave me alone here to preside over this precarious family?"
Hu Gao was directly stunned by Hu Wu Shuang's words, he couldn't imagine that such words would come out of this icy woman's mouth. He smiled playfully and said, "Hehe, I remember someone strongly opposed to marrying me back then. Although my cultivation level is not as high as yours, a man's word is his bond. Before I personally defeat you, that so-called engagement is just nonsense!"
"You!" Hu Wusuo's words almost choked her, she had never thought that communication between people would be so difficult. But she didn't want to let Hu Gao leave in anger, yet she couldn't tell the truth, at this moment, she really felt exhausted and wanted to cry.
When Hu Gao saw Hu Wushuang's face turn red and her eyes well up with tears, he suddenly felt like something in his heart had been touched. He thought back to last night when he was facing the nine-tailed fox spirit, and remembered the voice of Hu Wushuang asking for help that had suddenly appeared in his mind. He realized that he might have actually fallen for this woman who looked strong on the outside but seemed soft-hearted inside.
In his previous life, Hu Gao had also been in contact with several women, all of whom were introduced by classmates, but the relationships didn't last long. Either the other party looked down on him for being poor, or there was no spark between them, and they just went through the motions of daily life together.
The word "love" is something that only appears in movies and TV dramas for Hu Gao, he has never truly experienced it before.
"Unmatched, I can let these things go, I just want to ask you one question, was it you who was talking to me last night?" Hu Gao's tone also softened, he didn't want to put such a big hat on a woman's head, and whether the Hu family was a fox or human was not important to him at all.
Hu Wushuang's tears flowed down, she nodded lightly and found herself feeling relieved.
"Alright, it's fine now." Hu Gao couldn't bear to see women cry. He immediately pulled Hu Wushuang into his arms and patted her shoulder, comforting her, "It was my fault earlier, I won't do that again in the future."
Who knew that Hu Wushuang's crying voice suddenly grew louder, as if she wanted to pour out all the tears she had accumulated over the past decade.
Hu Gao was momentarily at a loss for what to do, truly not having expected that even the strongest of women, once they collapsed, would be several times more terrifying than ordinary women.
"Peerless, how are the elders doing now?" Hu Gao could only change the subject, he found that from last night to now, not even a single elder's shadow was visible.
"They're all injured and are currently recovering in a secret location."
"Was it caused by the arrow of sealed pulse?" Hu Gao asked.
"Hmm, I didn't think the Lang family could produce so many Sealing Arrows. The four major families are really detestable for colluding with them. Once our Hu family recovers, we will definitely eliminate all of them!" Hu Wushuang wiped away her tears and her expression returned to normal.
Hu Gao was stunned, his fiancée was really fierce, one moment she was crying loudly, the next moment she wanted to wipe out the entire family, this would be a disaster if she were to marry into their household, it's like inviting a wolf into their home.
"The four major families are just a few puppet families, the key is still the Lang family, and I don't know how many people they sent to Ning City this time." After witnessing the strength of the Second Elder, Hu Gao was not too worried about the four major families, but rather the Lang family's move this time made him feel a sense of danger.
"Hmm, it seems I need to quickly gather the strength of all branches and be vigilant during this period." Hu Wushuang nodded in agreement with Hu Gao's view.
"You go ahead and take care of your things first, I have some matters to attend to as well." Hu Gao knew this wasn't the time for romance, so he decisively let go of the warmth in his arms.
Hu Wushuang nodded shyly, "Then you be more careful yourself, the Lang family must have someone in Ning City already, and they might still target you."
Hu Gao smiled slightly. With the mysterious jade pendant on him, he wasn't afraid of the Sealing Arrow. It would be best if the other party took the initiative to come to him, saving him the trouble.
At this time, in a hundred-meter square secret room three hundred meters underground in the center of the Hu family ancestral hall, the flickering firelight on the wall illuminated the four walls, and the relief sculptures of hundreds of beasts competing for hegemony on the wall were vividly depicted, as if every flower, grass, mountain, water, insect, and beast existed in another unknown world, condensed into a real image, projected onto these four walls.
A mysterious and solemn atmosphere permeated the sealed chamber, where all the elders of the Hu family, except for the two senior elders, sat cross-legged, quietly adjusting their disordered breaths.
Dā dā
A faint sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the secret room. The comer had obviously deliberately lowered his footsteps, but it was too quiet here, and even the breathing sounds of the elders were so clear, let alone the footsteps.
Chuan Gong elder opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the passageway. Among all the elders, his current strength was the strongest, and his ability to regulate his breath was also the strongest. His originally disordered breath had now completely calmed down.
A lovely figure walked into the secret room, with a worried emotion filling her bright and shining eyes.
Here is the translation:
It was Hu Wushuang, who had just parted ways with Hu Gao.
"Hu Feng Lao, how are all the elders doing?" Hu Wu Shuang asked with concern.
"They need to completely suppress the chaotic inner breath, and it may take another day or two to adjust. During this time, I must stay here to help them recover their breath, suppress the 'ancestral blood' burning in their veins. As for external matters, you and Hu Gao can only rely on each other. Our Hu family has suffered a significant loss this time, hasn't it? You need to be careful not to let other families take advantage of us."
"Sorry, the loss of the Hu family is all because of me..." Hu's eyes quickly dimmed.
"It's not your fault, no one knew that you also have the 'ancestral blood' flowing within you. The thief who infiltrated the Hu family this time actually had a way to stimulate the 'ancestral blood', and you didn't learn how to suppress it, so losing control is normal. The Lang family actually used such extreme measures, when my Hu family recovers, they will definitely pay the price!" As soon as he mentioned the Lang family, the Transmission Elder's anger surged, his hand bones cracking with a "ka-ka" sound.
