Absolute Death Game-Chapter 432 - 42 Xiao Bieli_4
If at the critical moment of battle, the Heart Demon suddenly leaps out to cause trouble, I really could be caught off guard and done for.
"Alright, deal, but right now I don’t have enough Merit Points to create a physical body for you," Xiao Buli said.
"No need, you’ve forgotten, your eldest disciple brother can create physical bodies." This statement reminded Xiao Buli that his eldest disciple brother had indeed crafted a body for Xuan Zhenzi. Thinking of this, Xiao Buli stepped forward and returned to the grand hall.
"Why have you come back?" Gu Yuexuan glanced up to see Xiao Buli returning and asked in surprise.
"Heh heh, eldest brother, I have a favor to ask." Because he had just used up all his Contribution Value, Xiao Buli was now appearing unusually humble, bowing deeply.
"Speak," Gu Yuexuan’s face showed neither pleasure nor displeasure, having already begun to adopt some of the Sect Leader’s demeanor.
"Eldest brother, I would like to ask you to help me create a physical body."
"A physical body?!" Gu Yuexuan’s eyes widened in shock as he asked loudly, "What do you need a physical body for?"

Seeing that this matter was quite significant, Xiao Buli had no choice but to explain the whole story from beginning to end. Upon hearing it, his brother merely grunted, "Being able to expel your Heart Demon is certainly your good fortune, and I cannot refuse to help. Coincidentally, I do have a suitable one. But do you have anything to trade with me for it?" It seemed that all these NPCs were born to do business; nobody was willing to part with something for nothing.
Xiao Buli rummaged through his bag. He still had some ore that he had mined in the Immortal Realm, which he took out and asked, "Eldest brother, I don’t have much by way of possession; these ores are what I mined in the Immortal Realm. I think they should be worth some money. Do you think these will suffice?"
Gu Yuexuan glanced at them askance, raising his eyebrows slightly. Among them, he did spot some refining materials he urgently needed, but he still put on an unsatisfied expression: "Normally, it wouldn’t be enough, but considering our same school ties, and that you’ve just helped me, let’s just go with this." He took the ores and started walking out, with Xiao Buli quickly following him. The two of them arrived at the site of Gu Yuexuan’s former bamboo building, and Xiao Buli looked worriedly at the pile of rubble and broken tiles. Could the physical body be buried under this ruin? It seemed that even though his eldest brother was giving him a body, he would still have to toil to dig it out.
Then, the eldest disciple brother suddenly struck a starting pose over the ruins, muttering spells while his hands ceaselessly sketched indistinct patterns in the air. Suddenly, he shouted loudly: Appear!
A stark naked physical body suddenly appeared on the open ground in front of them. The body was suspended in midair, eyes tightly shut, its features flat, it looked just like a lump of clay without the final touch of the sculptor.
"This is it. In order to resurrect Mister Xuan Zhenzi, I was afraid of failure, so I prepared an extra one, hidden in the fourth layer space of this bamboo building. Although the bamboo building is destroyed, this space remains unaffected. See if it’s suitable for you and take it if it is," Gu Yuexuan said nonchalantly, as though what he was lending Xiao Buli was nothing more than a piece of clothing or some common item.
Xiao Buli felt both alarmed and delighted in his heart. He was shocked by the formidable power of Gu Yuexuan, as all the Merit Points he had painstakingly saved were for the purpose of obtaining a physical body after death, but he never expected someone could resolve it so easily. The joy came from the fact that the Heart Demon that had been following him for days was finally about to leave him.
After Gu Yuexuan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xiao Buli and turned to go back into the main hall.
Xiao Buli said to the Heart Demon, "Don’t be so uptight, quickly show yourself. Let’s each go our own way once it’s over."
The Heart Demon was also straightforward, "Alright, then I’ll leave now. You’d better brace yourself, it’s going to hurt quite a bit when we separate."
"Give me a break, it’s not like you’re chopping off my arms or legs." Xiao Buli had not finished speaking when he felt a tearing pain emanating from deep within his brain and let out a scream of agony, immediately fainting to the ground.
A humanoid shadow slowly tore itself from Xiao Buli’s body and stood outside, looking at Xiao Buli lying on the ground with a cold laugh, "Weren’t you not afraid?" After saying that, it floated up lightly, merging with the figure hovering in mid-air. The soft flesh of the face started to move the moment it touched the soul, and the eyes, nose, and mouth gradually filled out, as if they grew from the skin, slowly forming a human shape, resembling Xiao Buli by about seventy to eighty percent. After a while, it seemed to have completed the fusion and the physical body gently landed on the ground. As a shade of blood crawled over the pale face, this physical body slowly opened its eyes.
The three words "Xiao Bieli" slowly became clear above the physical body’s head.
Xiao Bieli looked at the still unconscious Xiao Buli and softly said, "We’ll meet again."
Then he turned and left naked, striding confidently away.
After about the duration of an incense stick, Xiao Buli finally came to his senses and sat up. Slowly remembering he was in Mystic Hollow Palace, he still felt a shock at the memory of that pain; being torn alive must feel like that. Rubbing his somewhat swollen head, Xiao Buli suddenly realized that the physical body was gone.
"Did you leave?" Xiao Buli asked in his mind, "Hey! Did you leave? Did you or didn’t you? If you haven’t left, say something, I won’t charge you rent." Xiao Buli confirmed several times in his mind, never receiving a response from the Heart Demon.
"Hahaha, you left, didn’t you? Who has the last laugh now, huh? Hahahaha." Xiao Buli laughed like a lunatic, talking to himself while sitting on the ground for a while before finally standing up with a light and happy heart, patting off the dirt and walking towards the outside of Mystic Hollow Palace.
Leaving Mystic Hollow Palace, Xiao Buli did not use Cloud Thunder Leap this time. Having the Immortal Crane, he was finally able to try the sensation of soaring in the sky. As he got onto the Immortal Crane’s back, Xiao Buli immediately realized things were not so simple. The feathers on the Immortal Crane were slippery, making it impossible to sit firmly on top, and the back of the Immortal Crane was on a steep incline, unlike animals such as horses or tigers with four legs on the ground. Xiao Buli felt his bottom slide and was just about to get down and think of another way to ride when the Immortal Crane soared into the sky without a care. Perhaps it had been too long since it last had a stroll, or the flying skills were pre-programmed, but before Xiao Buli could prepare himself, the sound of the wind was already whistling by his ears.
