She really does bear some resemblance to Han Yue, and her personality and temperament are quite similar to before. They truly are sisters.
Xiao Tian recalled the first time he met Han Yue. She also had a cold demeanor, but her heart was very passionate.
Xiao Tian had not expected to encounter Han Yue's sister, Han Xue, outside. But then again, Han Xue handled most of the caravan's affairs.
This clearly looked like she had just completed a mission and was returning to Tianbei City.
***
Phew~ They finally left. Such terrifying aura.
It was too terrifying. Is this the horror of a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast?
That Magical Beast seems to be someone else's mount. Did you see the man on it? He is unbelievably handsome.
If I were even one-tenth as handsome as him, Miss Zhu from Spring Breeze Pavilion would be so charmed she would pay me to be with her.
After the Amethyst Winged Lion King left, everyone began discussing it with lingering fear.
Miss, it was probably a Young Master from some major power passing by. But fortunately, this person is not like those from other powers, Han Chong also spoke with lingering fear. A young man who could have a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast as a mount must be from a major power.
And those from major powers were usually arrogant, with killing people on a whim being commonplace.
If the other party became unhappy, they might attack them.
Mm, since the other party has left, it means they were just passing by. No need to pay attention. Han Xue put away the longsword in her hand, recalling the man's appearance in her mind. She searched through all her knowledge but found no information.
Are you talking about me? A playful voice rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone was startled by the voice and instantly grabbed their weapons, looking in the direction it came from.
They saw a massive Magical Beast standing less than ten meters from their camp, with a handsome young man on its back.
It was the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian felt he had to go see his sister-in-law, but it seemed this sister-in-law was frightened by him.
At this moment, Han Xue was also very nervous. Everyone here was not even enough to fill the teeth of the Magical Beast in front of them.
Roar—! Zi Yao let out an earth-shattering roar, making everyone's eardrums ache. The guards around Han Xue retreated in shock, some even nearly stumbling.
Young Master, I am very sorry! Han Xue forced herself to calm down, cupped her fists, and bowed, saying, We did not mean to. If there was any offense, please forgive us.
Xiao Tian smiled slightly and slowly stood up. Zi Yao obediently lowered its body and lay on the ground. Xiao Tian leaped lightly, landing gracefully, his robes fluttering like an immortal descending to the mortal world.
Hearing the apology, a strange thought inexplicably popped into Xiao Tian's mind. Apologies must show sincerity with ⊙ ⊙!
Xiao Tian quickly shook off the thought. He must have been corrupted by Ya Fei and the others.
Ya Fei and the women: ????
Just an apology is not enough… Xiao Tian swept his gaze over everyone with a half-smile, his eyes lingering on Han Xue for an extra second. Hmm, I have taken a fancy to your roasted meat!
Han Xue was stunned, the words she had prepared instantly caught in her throat, and the surrounding guards also froze.
Han Xue quickly adjusted her expression, regaining her composure. The man in front of her seemed to genuinely have no ill intentions.
She muttered to herself, What is this person's background? He asks for roasted meat as soon as he speaks, yet it is impossible to refuse.
She took a step forward and said sincerely, I am Han Xue. Young Master, how should I address you? We have already eaten quite a bit of this roasted meat. If Young Master does not mind, I can have someone roast it again!
Xiao Tian looked at Han Xue in front of him, wondering if she would explode when she found out his identity later.
Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian did not hide his name, also stating, Then you arrange it!
Then he looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Prepare a larger portion for him too.
Han Xue quickly invited Xiao Tian to sit by the bonfire and began instructing the guards to prepare two portions of Magical Beast meat.
Zi Yao, go over there. Xiao Tian said to Zi Yao, pointing his finger toward a bonfire where a large piece of roasted meat was cooking.
After a flash of purple light, the Amethyst Winged Lion King transformed into human form.
This action shocked everyone even more. A Magical Beast that could transform was either a Seventh-Tier Magical Beast or had consumed a valuable Transformation Pill.
The aura of the Magical Beast in front of them was clearly that of a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, so it must be the latter.
Zi Yao very sensibly sat directly by the fire. He naturally knew that his master in front of him was not just there for roasted meat. He had that much discernment.
He looked at the roasted meat in front of him. He had never tried it before. He used to eat it raw. How could he have the leisure to season and roast it?
***
Xiao Tian sat casually on the ground, watching Han Xue continuously roast the meat in front of him. In the depths of her eyes, there was still a wary expression.
He had thought the guards would do the roasting, but he did not expect her to do it personally, and she did not play any tricks during the process.
Of course, she only roasted one portion. The other, larger portion for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, was given to other guards to roast.
While roasting the meat, Han Xue secretly observed Xiao Tian. The man in front of her was the most handsome person she had ever seen. No one could compare to him. He was both devilishly handsome yet masculine, and his temperament was extraordinary and noble.
She secretly mused, This person seems casual, yet he exudes an extraordinary air everywhere. I cannot sense any aura from him, as if he is just an ordinary person.
Han Xue naturally did not believe the man in front of her was an ordinary person, so there was only one possibility: his cultivation realm was far higher than hers.
Xiao Tian naturally noticed Han Xue secretly observing him, but he chose not to expose her.
Soon, the roasted meat was ready. Han Xue took out a tray, carefully sliced the roasted meat, and placed it on the tray.
Young Master Xiao Tian, it is ready. Please taste it. Han Xue used Dou Qi to condense a small low table, placing the roasted meat on it. A Dou Ling realm cultivator could condense Qi into matter.
Xiao Tian picked up a slice and put it in his mouth, chewing a few times.
Does it suit your taste, Young Master? Han Xue asked softly.
Xiao Tian's lips curved slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes as he softly said, Not bad. The heat is just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the spices are precisely blended, not overpowering the meat's natural flavor.
He spoke slowly and calmly, his voice steady yet with a hint of familiarity.
Han Xue breathed a sigh of relief, fearing it would not suit his taste and he might suddenly lash out. Many scions of major powers were like that. Any slight dissatisfaction could lead to murder.
If Young Master Xiao does not mind, this humble one would like to offer you a cup as an apology. Han Xue took out her treasured fine wine and two cups, filled them, and handed one cup to Xiao Tian.
However, her movements were a bit clumsy, clearly indicating she rarely did such serving tasks.
