The Underworld's Sacred Guardian Chapter 5

He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me." Gabriel Xu waved his hands wildly, then curled up himself, as if only in this way would he feel safe.

Dominic Fu held on to Gabriel Xu with all his might. That nightmare was deliberately caused by someone. Who on earth wanted to harm the descendants of the Xu family?

He hugged the person tightly in his arms and kept stroking his shoulders as if to comfort him.

Gabriel Xu was really scared. When he completely got rid of the nightmare and opened his eyes, he saw the God of the Underworld holding him tightly in his arms.

He only coughed a few times, and Gabriel Xu looked up at him. The cold breath penetrated his clothes, and his breath enveloped Gabriel Xu.

Gabriel Xu subconsciously moved aside. This was extremely disrespectful. His father had said that one must have enough reverence for the God of the Underworld.

Gabriel Xu quickly clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and muttered something.

Dominic Fu was sitting aside. The words Gabriel Xu was reading made his ears hurt. Instead of that, he decided to pay attention to his injuries.

"Ask your father to offer more incense tomorrow." Dominic Fu felt a little angry when he saw his pious look, but now he couldn't get angry.

Gabriel Xu nodded, and Dominic Fu coughed lightly, with a hint of blood in his mouth.

"God of the Underworld..." Gabriel Xu suddenly called out to him. Dominic Fu paused and glanced at him with unpredictable emotions in his eyes. Gabriel Xu swallowed and became a little nervous.

"Who is Xu Yaoxi?" Gabriel Xu asked again.

Dominic Fu's pupils suddenly shrank. This name could stir up a storm in his heart. He stared at Gabriel Xu with a sinister look.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Dominic Fu warned coldly. Gabriel Xu was so scared that he shrank his neck and shut his mouth silently.

Dominic Fu slammed the door and walked out. Gabriel Xu was frightened. Xu Yaoxi and he had the same surname. Was she an ancestor of the same generation?

Gabriel Xu lay down, the moonlight reflected in his eyes. Xu Yaoxi must be very important to the God of the Underworld.

On the other side, Theo Xiao sat at the desk in the dormitory and took out a painting. He only dared to take it out and look at it alone when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

The man in the painting is of imposing appearance. The white robe suits him very well. His eyebrows and eyes are like rivers and his face is like a pine tree.

"Master, is he your reincarnation?" Theo Xiao murmured to himself, his thoughts couldn't help but spread again. He had been controlling his thoughts all these years, but when he saw his master, he really couldn't control it.
 
He raised his hand and gently touched the drawing paper. After so many years, the figure of his master was still lingering in his mind.

His master only left behind this painting before he passed away. Theo Xiao closed his sore eyes, sighed softly, and then put it away silently.

For thousands of years, he has been dealing with people from the Xu family. Only in this life did he finally see someone who looked similar to his master.

The joy in his heart at this moment was beyond words, and he was now one step closer to what he had in mind.

Dominic Fu, just wait for death. I won’t let you have an easy life. He suddenly remembered something and felt extremely disgusted with Dominic Fu.

A trace of viciousness suddenly flashed in Theo Xiao's eyes, while Dominic Fu on the other side kept shaking. Although Gabriel Xu's condition had improved, he still couldn't guarantee that Gabriel Xu could recover.

He was vomiting blood constantly, why? What was on Gabriel Xu's body? Dominic Fu raised his eyes, and the things he thought of became more and more horrifying.

Dominic Fu returned to the room again. Gabriel Xu was already asleep. He subconsciously searched the room quietly. He felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Finally, his eyes fell on a sandalwood item on the bedside table. This thing had been absorbing Gabriel Xu's lifespan and yang energy, which was why Gabriel Xu was always sick.

He held the thing tightly in his palm, looking at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, he took a strong breath and wiped away all the evil spirit from Gabriel Xu.

His breathing became steadier, and Dominic Fu felt relieved.

The next day, Gabriel Xu went to class as usual, and was even more energetic than before. He ran into Theo Xiao at the school gate.

Theo Xiao was a little dazed when he saw his radiant face. Looking at Gabriel Xu's current state, he forced a smile.

"Why is the pendant I gave you gone?" Theo Xiao noticed that the sandalwood pendant he gave him on his schoolbag was missing.

Gabriel Xu took a look and found that it was really gone. Gabriel Xu was shocked and stood there in a daze.

"How could it be missing? I'll go back and look for it. Maybe it fell on the bed." Gabriel Xu looked at Theo Xiao embarrassedly, and Theo Xiao shook his head.

"It's okay, I'll give you another one some other day." Theo Xiao said with a smile.

There was something wrong with the way Dominic Fu looked down at Theo Xiao.

"Was that sandalwood pendant given by him?" Dominic Fu asked.

"Yes, sandalwood can ward off evil spirits. He gave it to me to protect me." Gabriel Xu raised his eyebrows and shrugged. He was quite surprised that the pendant suddenly disappeared, as he usually hung it on his schoolbag.

He gave it to me! Dominic Fu looked at the young man's back as he walked away. Who was this Theo Xiao?

Sandalwood can indeed ward off evil spirits, but if he adds some extremely yin things, it will no longer be able to ward off evil spirits. Dominic Fu lowered his eyes, and the familiar feeling from his body came over him again.

Gabriel Xu was also about to go to class. Dominic Fu looked at the sandalwood plaque in his hand and wondered what his intention was in giving it to Gabriel Xu?

Dominic Fu planned to ask clearly. In the sunshine, Dominic Fu stopped at the door of a classroom wearing a neat suit.

He closed his eyes and calmed his breath, playing with the sandalwood in his hand. The bell for the end of get out of class rang in his ears, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His unique temperament attracted many students who were leaving get out of class to look back. Theo Xiao took off his glasses and gently rubbed his temples. When he walked out, he saw Dominic Fu in the crowd.

He had a blank expression on his face, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Theo Xiao was even a bit of shallow hostility. Theo Xiao's brows showed a little helplessness, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"What do you want from me?" Theo Xiao held the book in his hands and walked up to Dominic Fu with his hands in his pockets.

"Did you give this to me?" Dominic Fu spread out his palms, and the fragrance of sandalwood slowly spread out. Theo Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the sandalwood pendant in his hand, and his smile froze for a moment.

"Why didn't you tell Zhou Zhou that you took it?" Theo Xiao stared at the pendant in his hand with a somewhat cold tone.

"What's your purpose in giving this thing?" Dominic Fu spat out word by word. The cold air wrapped around his body was like a poisonous snake, attacking Theo Xiao desperately.

Theo Xiao shrugged, swallowed, and looked panicked.

"Gabriel Xu has been in poor health, so I gave him sandalwood to ward off evil spirits."

Theo Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes became clear. Dominic Fu frowned, trying to dig out something useful from Theo Xiao's eyes.

"Sandalwood is warm in nature. There is evil in it. You must know that."

Dominic Fu once again tentatively brought up the topic. Theo Xiao looked at Tanmu, his eyes calm, and chuckled.
