Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 55: Shen Xu Advances

"Master." The little black snake shouted.

At the same time, it flew up, ready to face the second bolt.

"Hurry up and come down." Shen Xu angrily shouted.

Although he was in pain, he was still rational.

Since the little snake had just been hatched, he couldn’t ask it to share his tribulation. Otherwise, it would be struck to nothing and all their spirit stones would be wasted.

’Don’t think of dying before you repay us.’ He thought and tried to grab the snake.

However, the little snake was fast and quickly evaded the grabbing hand.

"Don’t worry, master. I have a thick skin." The snake said and its eyes momentarily dulled before it spoke.

"I also can’t avoid the baptism of lightning tribulation."

When he heard this, Shen Xu stopped grabbing, sighed, and prepared for the next attack.

Although the snake wanted to take the next wave, Shen Xu held a shield to wait.

However, he was worrying too much.

Like the snake said, it had a thick skin and could handle the lightning.

After that, the master and servant took turns facing the lightning tribulation.

When the ninth bolt struck, Shen Xu didn’t avoid it or block it.

After all, the last wave was the most important and carried the most benefits.

Fortunately, although he was beaten to the ground, he barely escaped with his life.

’I need to train my body.’ Shen Xu thought with a pain-filled expression.

Three breaths later, the tribulation clouds parted and a colourful rain fell from the sky.

"It’s the ten-colour rain! Master, are you a genius?" The little snake excitedly asked.

"Of course, you are a genius. How could you contract me if you are not a favoured son of heaven?"

"Ten-colour rain?" Shen Xu was confused.

From what he remembered; Xiao Weimin also received a coloured blessing whenever he advanced.

However, his blessing was only a five-coloured rain.

’Does my ten-coloured blessing have something to do with my chaos fire root and the chaos flame cultivation technique?’ Shen Xu wondered but subconsciously glanced at Zhen Yuan.

For some reason, he felt that something happened during his retreat.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t remember what.

All he knew was that the mystery was related to Zhen Yuan and their future.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu smiled and shook his head.

’Although I don’t remember, I don’t feel anxious. What happened should be a good thing.’ He thought.

"Xiaoxu, how are you?" Zhen Yuan asked as he rushed towards Shen Xu.

Hearing the words and seeing the person, Shen Xu suddenly felt aggrieved.

"Ayuan, I am so badly injured." He complained, his eyes filled with mist.

When the snake saw this, its eyes widened in shock.

’So badly injured? Didn’t the rain blessing heal my master’s injuries?’ The snake wondered but it didn’t dare to speak.

Instead, it reduced its presence and speechlessly watched as its master fell into the other man’s arms.

"It’s my fault for not preparing well." Zhen Yuan blamed himself with a sorrowful expression.

Hidden in the person’s arms, Shen Xu smiled.

’As expected, this place is still the most comfortable.’ He thought and burrowed deeper into his husband’s arms.

An incense stick later, Shen Xu pulled away and looked around.

"Ayuan, where are we?"

Being reminded, Zhen Yuan frowned and scanned the surroundings.

Fortunately, he didn’t find cultivators but saw some monster beasts eyeing the hill.

"Let’s enter the space."

"Mmmm." Shen Xu nodded and grabbed the snake.

A moment later, two young men and a snake appeared beside the spiritual lake.

"Is something wrong?" Shen Xu asked.

"You have just advanced and your cultivation is not stable." Zhen Yuan said and his eyebrows creased in a frown.

Because of the little snake, Shen Xu not only advanced earlier than expected but his cultivation directly rose to the mid-stage of the foundation establishment realm.

Consequently, his realm was unstable and unsuitable to fight monsters.

If something went wrong, Shen Xu would regress at the slightest provocation.

"We are in the Sunrise Forest and there are monsters around us."

"Sunrise Forest?" Shen Xu frowned.

With a helpless look, Zhen Yuan explained everything that happened since the double’s retreat.

When Shen Xu heard about the egg, he glared at the little snake.

"Why do you eat so much?" He aggressively questioned.

Hearing the question, the snake pretended not to understand and looked at its owner with big bright eyes.

"I know you can understand me." The double persisted but the snake was just as stubborn.

Because of its origin, it needed more resources than other monster beasts.

As a result, when it was in the shell, it discovered its needs were readily met so it became a little excessive.

Eventually, it ate more spirit stones than it strictly needed to hatch.

Thinking of this, the snake didn’t dare to reveal the truth.

"Don’t worry, master. I will be responsible for taking care of you in the future" The snake spoke in a childlike voice.

Unfortunately, neither Shen Xu nor Zhen Yuan appreciated its offer.

"Who wants a snake to take care of them?" Shen Xu snorted.

"Your master is my wife. Why would he need you to take care of him?" Zhen Yuan asked, his voice filled with disdain.

Hearing this, the little snake shuddered and slithered away from Zhen Yuan.

’How can my master dare to marry such an existence? Does he think his life is too smooth and can’t wait to cause trouble for himself?’ The snake wondered.

However, it soon regained its vigour.

’As expected, my owner is not an ordinary person.’ It thought and looked at Shen Xu with awe-filled eyes.

Seeing the eyes, Shen Xu trembled.

For some reason, he felt he and his contracted beast had a deep misunderstanding.

However, he had no evidence so he ignored the matter.

"Ayuan, what about the poison refiner?" Shen Xu reminded.

When he heard this, Zhen Yuan immediately checked the formation disk.

"She is already dead." He said and Shen Xu nodded.

"Wait until we leave the space to deal with her body."

"Good." Zhen Yuan said and handed over a storage bag.

"What’s this?" Shen Xu asked while checking the bag.

A moment later, he raised an eyebrow in question.

"Use the spirit stones and grape bees’ royal jelly to stabilise your cultivation."

When he heard this, Shen Xu smiled.

"Thank you." He said.

"The Myriad Treasures Pavilion will have an auction in a few days. While you stabilise your cultivation, I will head to Dragon City."

"I understand." Shen Xu nodded.

Although he was reluctant to separate from Zhen Yuan, he understood the current need.

’We can spend more time together after the auction.’ He thought.

Since they were pressed for time, Shen Xu immediately retreated and Zhen Yuan left the space.

Six days later, two masked men appeared outside an auction hall.
