Chapter 362: The Foul Mouthed "Shrew" Xiao Yan
Hai Bodong, the number one bootlicker under Wu Tian, had a completely different mindset compared to everyone else.
The "education" he had received ensured he would never be caught in such a passive state.
Instead, at this moment, he found himself deeply troubled.
Because standing right next to him were three headaches waiting to happen Danhuang Gu He, Nalan Yanran, and the troublemaking duo of Xiao Yan and Yao Chen.
Without direct orders from the boss, he had no clue what to do with them.
"Hey~ Little Hai, I'm taking this girl with me. From now on, she'll follow me to gather herbs!"
A childish yet familiar voice suddenly rang out.
If it had been anyone else calling him "Little Hai," Hai Bodong would have exploded in fury.
But hearing this voice, he immediately turned around with a flattering smile.
"Of course~ Miss Zi Yan, please do as you please!"
"Huh…?"
Nalan Jie and Nalan Su instinctively spoke up.
"What? Little Hai, are you saying I can't take this girl with me?"
Zi Yan clenched her tiny fists, glaring at Hai Bodong with displeasure.
"O Of course not! They're just a bit shaken up, that's all. Yanran! From now on, you'll follow Miss Zi Yan. Hurry up and go!"
Hai Bodong frantically gave Nalan Yanran a look, signaling her to quickly obey.
Having just emerged from seclusion, Nalan Yanran had never met Zi Yan before.
Nor had she ever met Hai Bodong.
But seeing how even her grandfather and father were so humble and respectful toward this old man, she immediately understood this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
So, she simply nodded and walked over to the petite yet fearsome Zi Yan.
"Hehe~ Little Yanran, let's go gather herbs! Then we'll go find that annoying Wu Tian and make him refine me some candy orbs!"
As she spoke, a pair of purple wings sprouted from her back.
Grabbing Nalan Yanran by the hand, she took off into the sky.
At that moment, Nalan Yanran felt like she was dreaming.
This little girl… just called Wu Tian an annoying guy?!
Did this mean… she would get to see him again?
"Hmph~ That annoying brother Wu Tian! He made me gather herbs all by myself in the Magical Beast Mountain Range! This time, if he doesn't refine me at least ten thousand candy orbs, I'll bite him to death!"
Nalan Yanran bit her lip, her delicate face flushing slightly.
Watching this little ancestor disappear into the distance, Hai Bodong finally felt relieved.
Compared to dealing with grown men, handling Nalan Yanran was the real nightmare.
Now that she was gone, the three remaining nuisances Gu He, Xiao Yan, and Yao Chen were no longer his problem.
Hai Bodong turned toward the dumbfounded Nalan Jie and Nalan Su, then smiled.
"Stop standing there like idiots. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
That little ancestor, Zi Yan, is Lord Yan Zun's little sister.
No matter what happens, your Nalan family has just hit the jackpot!"
…
Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt like he was going to vomit blood.
Just a moment ago, he had fully accepted death.
At the brink of despair, he had let go of all worldly attachments.
But now?
Now that he wasn't dying anymore, he had to watch his once fiancée fall into someone else's hands…
He felt like absolute shit.
Xiao Yan didn't want to say a word.
Because he had no right to complain.
He had nothing to do with Nalan Yanran anymore.
He had nothing to do with Yao Chen anymore.
Had it not been for his two older brothers standing beside him, he would have buried himself underground out of shame.
"Senior, thank you for taking care of our little Yan!"
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li bowed deeply to Yao Chen.
Yao Chen simply waved his hand indifferently and replied,
"No need. It was simply what I should have done."
Xiao Yan: NIMAAA YOU'RE SO SHAMELESS!!!
But at that moment, he dared not expose this old bastard.
Because he was weak.
Yao Chen glanced around.
He knew that terrifying Guardian Elder had gone off to "play" with his wives.
With nowhere else to go, and surrounded by monsters disguised as "strong experts," Yao Chen decided
Screw this. Time to hide.
His eyes flickered toward the ancient ring on Xiao Yan's finger.
A smirk appeared at the corner of his lips.
Then, his body dissolved into mist and flowed back into the ring.
…
Xiao Yan, who had been seething with rage, suddenly froze.
Wait…
WHEN THE HELL DID THIS RING GET BACK ON MY FINGER?!
His expression instantly darkened.
And then
He reached toward his chest.
Cold.
A familiar icy touch against his skin.
His fingers trembled as he grasped a jade pendant beneath his robes.
That familiar, cursed fragment of jade…
"YOU !!! YOU FKING…!!!"**
"BEEP BEEP BEEP !!!"
"I'LL FKING KILL YOUUUU!!!"**
"BOOM !!!"
Hai Bodong, now completely exasperated, flicked his finger.
A small iceball shot forward, smacking Xiao Yan in the head
Knocking him unconscious.
Enough.
The brat was still useful to the boss.
So he couldn't let him die.
But he could absolutely make him suffer.
"Take this brat away.
Lock him up.
Find two old aunties to "take good care" of him."
As soon as Hai Bodong gave the order, guards immediately stepped forward to drag Xiao Yan away.
Neither Xiao Ding nor Xiao Li said a word.
Because, at this point, even they were done with this idiot.
Their youngest brother…
Had just openly insulted Lord Yan Zun.
In public.
After Yan Zun had literally just saved his life.
What kind of brain damage was this?!
Did a donkey kick his skull open or something?!
Lord Yan Zun had saved their entire Xiao Clan.
He had treated them like his own sons.
This was a debt they could never repay.
And yet…
Xiao Yan repaid him by cussing him out in broad daylight?
Did he have a death wish?!
Even if the others didn't kill him, at this moment, both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li wanted to execute him themselves.
For the first time, they fully understood why their father had kicked Xiao Yan out of the family.
This wasn't just disgraceful.
This was suicidal.
If they let this brat stay, he wouldn't just ruin himself.
He would doom the entire Xiao Clan.
The other Xiao Clan members, who had previously softened their stance toward Xiao Yan,
Now looked at him with utter disgust.
If they could, they'd skin him alive.
At that moment
"Ahem… You two are Xiao Yan's older brothers, yes?"
Gu He suddenly spoke up.
Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes.
This tone…
It sounded familiar.
It sounded like…
Exactly the way he talked when he was about to screw someone over.
…
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li glanced at Gu He and bowed slightly.
"Danhuang, please speak freely."
Gu He sighed dramatically and shook his head.
"Well… I just thought you should know…
The reason your Xiao Clan was nearly wiped out…
Was all because of your dear little brother, Xiao Yan."
…
Xiao Yan (in his sleep): "BEEP BEEP !!! I'LL FKING KILL YOU !!!"**
