Su Yun was unaware of what had happened to the Xiao family; he had already returned home.
It would take some time for this move to cooperate with the Xiao family to bear fruit.
A person's true strength lies in their heart, and he possessed patience. He
had chosen not to directly contact Xiao Yan today, but it would have been better to have a suitable reason, not to appear too abrupt.
"Brother!"
Little Medical Fairy saw Su Yun return, her smile finally etched on her face.
Su Yun, watching Little Medical Fairy running toward him, felt a flicker of joy in his heart.
Although he had taken her in because of her potential
, after spending time together, they had become like family, like a pair of siblings clinging to each other, struggling to survive in this cruel world.
Little Medical Fairy embraced Su Yun, a flicker of worry in his eyes.
He remained uneasy until the matter of the poisonous body was resolved.
Resurrecting my beloved in this world was no easy task.
Furthermore, with Little Medical Fairy's spiritual power, even at the moment of death, there was no telling if her soul would simply dissipate.
In life, one must protect something. Otherwise, if one lived without desires, would one still be human? Even if one becomes a powerful being, loneliness can drive a person mad.
The words the Chinese Medicine Master said to Xiao Yan in the original novel resurfaced in his mind. He understood their meaning.
He didn't understand the profound truths of life's meaning; he only knew that Xiao Yixian was his family, and that was enough.
"Brother, can you take Xian'er out for a walk? She hasn't been out in ages,"
Xiao Yixian whispered softly in his arms.
Su Yun smiled softly upon hearing this. During
the time she'd been with him, Xiao Yixian had mostly stayed indoors, both before the move and now.
It was natural for her to want to go out and play.
"Come on! Brother will take you on a whirlwind tour today."
"Great!"
Xiao Yixian cheered excitedly; she'd been feeling pent up for a while!
It was still early today, and Su Yun led Xiao Yixian to the market in Wutan City.
He had been searching for ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Fluid, so he'd explored every market in the city. He
was naturally familiar with the markets, knowing where to find good food and fun things to do.
The two of them spent the day playing in Wutan City.
For Su Yun, Wutan City wasn't much to see, but for Little Medical Fairy, it was different.
Wutan City was already the largest city she'd ever visited. She'd only been to Qingshan Town a few times with her parents before, so naturally, everything seemed new and novel to her.
Su Yun would buy whatever Little Medical Fairy fancied. Now that he was wealthy, a few jewelry and toys seemed like nothing.
The two of them wandered until dark, returning home with packages of all sizes.
Because of the crowds and the attention in the city, they couldn't just place their belongings in their storage rings.
At an intersection, Su Yun suddenly grabbed Little Medical Fairy's hand and turned a corner.
"Hmm?"
Little Medical Fairy looked at Su Yun, puzzled.
They'd clearly been heading straight home, so why were they going in circles?
"Xian'er, look straight ahead. Don't look back. Don't make a sound. Someone's following us,"
Su Yun whispered in Little Medical Fairy's ear.
"Hmm?"
Little Medical Fairy stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal.
She was still young, but very intelligent.
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
This is how the world is. Even if you keep to yourself and don't cause trouble, trouble will still find you.
Weakness is the original sin.
They didn't reveal the rings on their hands just now, but the gold coins used for shopping were enough to make people with bad intentions.
The person who was following was secretive and obviously an old hand.
But he had been hanging around in the Warcraft Mountains for a year and absorbed the experience of Yao Lao. He had a sharp eye and had discovered the chicken feet long ago.
Name: Xiao Heizi
Gender: Male
Cultivation: Five-star Fighting Master
Pubfuture Ads
Constitution: None
; Attribute: Wood ; Martial
Arts: Yellow-rank Advanced "Pheasant Scripture"
; Fighting Skill: Yellow-rank Advanced "Chicken Ball."
He had already seen this person's faceplate back in the market.
This place was quite nice.
Xiao Heizi surveyed the surroundings. It was deserted, revealing his chicken feet.
"Two little brats up ahead, hand over all the gold coins you have!"
Xiao Heizi, with a wicked smile, decisively revealed his form. Two teenage brats, how much cultivation could they possibly possess? With his strength, they were easily defeated.
Su Yun and Xiao Yixian feigned fear. Su Yun pulled some gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the ground.
"Money, all your money, please let us go."
Su Yun and Xiao Yixian hugged each other, panicked, a barely perceptible cold glint in his eyes. Xiao Heizi deserved a horrible death!
Although this person was four stars higher than him, the martial arts and fighting skills he cultivated were of a much lower level. With his strength, defeating them would be easy.
But Xiao Yixian was still there; he had to kill them with one strike!
Xiao Heizi's face was smug. He had noticed these two brats at the market, shopping lavishly.
He observed them carefully, and found no guards around them, so they weren't likely the young masters or young ladies of some wealthy family.
They'd probably picked up some windfall somewhere, and it was a good deal for me.
Xiao Heizi wasn't wary at all.
In his opinion, for a brat of his age to have reached the fifth level of Dou Qi cultivation was already a rare talent.
Xiao Heizi slowly approached Su Yun and Xiao Yixian. As the distance grew closer, Su Yun's confidence in a single strike steadily increased.
Sixty percent...
seventy percent...
eighty percent...
"Eight Extreme Collapse" was a close combat technique, and it had already reached full maturity. This person hadn't cultivated any Xuan-level defensive fighting techniques, nor was their cultivation method based on earth, which was more defensive.
One strike would kill them!
His confidence grew, but Su Yun didn't act immediately. This person's nerves were paralyzed by the money, and the moment he picked up the gold coin, that would be his death.
Xiao Heizi approached the two, but instead of dealing with them first, he simply crouched down, intending to pick up the gold coin.
The moment Xiao Heizi's hand touched the gold coin, Su Yun suddenly attacked.
Eight Extremes Collapse!
Su Yun's elbow struck Xiao Heizi's forehead.
What!
Xiao Heizi roared inwardly and tried to rise, but his body was already flying backward uncontrollably.
"Explode!"
Without hesitation, Su Yun unleashed the Eightfold Dark Energy that had penetrated his body.
Xiao Heizi's head exploded, sending red and white objects scattering to the ground.
"Ugh..."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yixian looked uncomfortable, covering her mouth with her small hand and squatting on the ground.
Su Yun quickly squatted down and patted Xiao Yixian's back.
It was normal for Xiao Yixian to feel uncomfortable after such a bloody scene.
He had experienced this situation once before in the Warcraft Mountains.
The enemies in the Warcraft Mountains were more than just Warcraft...
killing and looting were commonplace.
Su Yun collected the items and gold coins on the ground into his storage ring, then rushed home with Xiao Yixian in his arms.
Back home, Su Yun comforted Xiao Yixian for a while. At night, Xiao Yixian once again lay on Su Yun's bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Oh, just got a message from the station. Finally, the contract is about to be signed.
Ah, please give me a recommendation vote.
