Kidnapping Zi Yan

After Lei Dong came out, Lei Ya hurried forward and asked, "Young Master, are you hurt?"

The commotion just now had genuinely shocked him. If Lei Dong had not ordered him to wait here, he would have gone down himself. Of course, that was also because he could sense that Lei Dong's aura had not weakened, which was why Lei Ya had merely waited anxiously here. Otherwise, he would have gone down to help long ago.

After all, if anything happened to Lei Dong, there would probably be no need for their clan to continue existing.

Lei Dong shook his head. "I'm fine. I just used up quite a lot of energy. This Fallen Heart Flame really isn't easy to deal with!" Then Lei Dong looked toward the wreckage outside and asked Su Qian, "Were any of your academy instructors injured?"

Su Qian shook his head and said with relief, "Fortunately, we had the Venerable's assistance. None of us were injured."

Lei Dong nodded, then said, "Su Qian, I heard you adopted a little girl of unknown origin?"

Although Su Qian was somewhat puzzled about how Lei Dong knew of this, the other man was the Young Clan Leader. Even though Su Qian himself was not from the Lei Clan, his superior, Mang Qianchi, was! Thus, when Lei Dong asked, he immediately replied, "That's right, Young Clan Leader."

"Bring her to see me!"

Zi Yan was a future powerhouse with limitless potential, so Lei Dong naturally wanted to take her away and personally raise her. Leaving her at Canaan Academy would simply be a waste of her powerful talent.

Upon hearing this, Su Qian did not dare delay. He turned and left at once. As for the Inner Courtyard instructors, he sent them all away as well.

Lei Dong stared at the ruined Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower and was dazed for a moment. Lei Ya asked in confusion, "Young Master, what's wrong? Is something amiss?"

Lei Dong shook his head. "Nothing. I was just thinking about something."

Just now, Lei Dong had been considering whether he should hand Zi Yan over to Zhu Kun for training. But after thinking it over, would a subordinate he had not personally raised truly be loyal to him?

Besides, he had no intention of opening the Ancient Emperor Cave before reaching the Dou Di realm. Since that was the case, why should he go to Zhu Kun's place and show off while gaining a worthless favor? As for going down to see the Ancient Emperor Cave for himself, Lei Dong felt he might as well forget it. He could not open it just by looking, and going down there might even force him to act like a coward. Since that was so, why go at all?

A moment later, Su Qian came over with a purple-clad little girl who looked no older than eleven or twelve. The girl wore a purple dress, and her long purple hair fell straight to her waist. Her tender little face was incredibly fair, and her delicate, doll-like features made her extremely adorable.

She was still only in her childhood, yet she already possessed such beauty. Lei Dong felt a stir in his heart. What kind of wicked beauty would she become in the future, when she took over as the new Dragon Emperor?

The instant he saw Zi Yan, Lei Dong made up his mind. He was determined to raise this little girl himself!

Su Qian bowed respectfully and said, "Young Clan Leader, her name is Zi Yan. I encountered her once when I entered the mountains."

Lei Dong nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Very good. Old man, if you ever grow tired of staying at Canaan Academy, you can come to my Lei Clan at any time and ask Elder Mang Qianchi for a position. If anyone objects, come straight to me!"

Su Qian had handled the matter beautifully, so Lei Dong naturally could not simply take the girl away without giving him anything in return. Besides, taking in one Su Qian would hardly burden the Lei Clan.

Su Qian was overjoyed!

Although he did not know exactly how powerful the Lei Clan was, he could think of his superior, the dean, Mang Qianchi. He was an Advanced Half-Saint powerhouse, yet he was merely an insignificant elder of the Lei Clan. One could imagine how extraordinary the Lei Clan's strength must be!

Su Qian bowed at the waist. "Thank you, Young Clan Leader."

Lei Dong waved his hand, then looked toward Zi Yan. With a faint smile, he said, "Zi Yan, are you willing to come with me? In the future, I'll make you an unparalleled powerhouse."

"Who are you? Why do you want to take me away? Where are you taking me?"

Zi Yan looked at Lei Dong's smiling, almost wickedly handsome face, and became slightly entranced for a moment. It was not that she was boy-crazy; Lei Dong's appearance was simply too extraordinarily handsome.

Lei Dong tossed Zi Yan a bottle of Sixth Grade pills and said, "I'm the Young Clan Leader of the Lei Clan. Come with me, and you can eat these pills like beans every day."

After Zi Yan caught the bottle, she opened it and sniffed it lightly. The fragrance of the pills instantly spread out. Su Qian, standing nearby, was stunned. "This... this is a Sixth Grade pill!?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan glanced at Lei Dong. When she saw that he did not speak, she immediately tossed all the pills from the bottle into her mouth and began eating them.

As she ate the pills, Zi Yan said contentedly, "Big Brother, if I follow you, can I eat this kind of thing every day from now on?"

At that moment, Zi Yan looked just like an exceptionally obedient little girl. She was unbelievably cute.

Lei Dong nodded and said indifferently, "Naturally. As long as you listen to me, I'll train you into an unparalleled powerhouse in the future."

Without even thinking, Zi Yan came before Lei Dong and said happily, "Okay, Big Brother. I'll definitely listen to you, but you mustn't lie to me!"

Although Zi Yan did not think this handsome youth would deceive her, eating Sixth Grade pills like candy was clearly somewhat unrealistic. After all, the highest-grade pill she had ever eaten was only Fourth Grade. She had obtained that one only after overcoming all sorts of obstacles, and afterward, she had even been nagged by the old man Su Qian for a long time.

Lei Dong continued to lure her in. "Of course. Not to mention Sixth Grade pills—even Seventh Grade pills, Big Brother can give you to eat."

Su Qian, standing beside them, was filled with envy! Forget about Seventh Grade pills—even Sixth Grade pills were something he possessed only a few of. Yet Zi Yan only needed to call him Big Brother once, and she could eat Sixth and Seventh Grade pills like candy. It was enough to make anyone green with envy!

At that moment, Su Qian wished more than anything that he were a little girl...

It was no wonder he thought that way. After all, in his view, Lei Dong must like little girls, or he would not treat her so generously.

Of course, he was only thinking about it. He knew perfectly well that it was impossible. Even if he were a woman, he might not be able to catch Lei Dong's eye...
