Liu Xing Nearly Died of Embarrassment

Nan Qiuqiu took several Gold Soul Coins from a small pocket in her clothes and waved them before the two, tempting them to call her big sister.

Liu Xing curled his lip in disdain. Did she think a few little cakes could buy Firefly and him off? As if.

"Big sister."

Firefly called out sweetly, making Nan Qiuqiu beam with excitement as she hugged Firefly and bounced around.

Liu Xing stared at Firefly in utter disbelief. Come on, Ying Bao, a few little cakes bought you off? Why were you so easy to win over? You were one of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, the mighty Scorching Knight! Show off that ridiculous combat power of yours and rob this rich little girl!

Firefly looked gently at Nan Qiuqiu. She had taken a liking to Nan Qiuqiu's friendly, familiar manner and enjoyed this feeling of making friends. Wasn't it just pretending to be younger? It was easy. She could just treat it as cheering up a little sister. It definitely wasn't because of the little cakes.

After winning Firefly over, Nan Qiuqiu turned to Liu Xing with an expectant look. Although Liu Xing was stunned by Firefly's betrayal of the organization, there was no way he would surrender. No amount of little cakes could make him give in. He wasn't Firefly, some glutton.

Nan Qiuqiu bit her thumb. This Liu Xing was hard to deal with! But the harder someone was to deal with, the more Miss Qiuqiu wanted to conquer them. Her eyes rolled as she looked at the little followers behind her. One of them, a little boy named Xiao Feng, leaned close and whispered a few words into her ear. Nan Qiuqiu's eyes lit up, and she turned to Liu Xing. "How about this? If you call me big sister, I'll take you to my house to see Spirit Beasts. What do you think?"

"Spirit Beasts?"

Liu Xing looked at Nan Qiuqiu in confusion.

"Yep! My family keeps Spirit Beasts. They're huge, really huge, and they can even breathe fire."

Nan Qiuqiu spread her arms wide to show just how huge they were.

"Big sister."

Liu Xing called out without the slightest hesitation. He wasn't an easy man to win over. On the way to this world, what strange creatures had he not seen? He had even seen Aeons. But he truly was interested in creatures from the novels of his previous life. Wasn't it just calling her big sister? It wouldn't cost him a piece of flesh. Besides, he really was younger than her, wasn't he? Liu Xing thought shamelessly. As for integrity, what was that?

Seeing her two little ones surrender without even lasting two rounds, Luan Yu shook her head speechlessly. They really were two easy little things to win over.

Nan Shui Shui chuckled and looked at Luan Yu. "I'm Nan Shui Shui, the Earthly Dragon Gate Master. Little sister, you aren't from Dragon City, are you?"

Nan Shui Shui and Luan Yu both looked like married women in their thirties. No one knew who was older or younger, but calling the other little sister could never go wrong. Women always liked being called younger.

Sure enough, Luan Yu beamed. "So you're Sister Nan. I've heard your great name countless times in Dragon City. I'm from the Star Luo Empire, a Rank 8 Spirit Tool Master. I came to Dragon City because I plan to head to the Far North in search of some rare metals."

"Rank 8 Spirit Tool Master?"

Nan Shui Shui's expression froze. Although she was a traditional soul master and had always looked down on the profession of spirit tool masters, she had to admit that a Rank 8 Spirit Tool Master was no ordinary nobody. Outside the Sun Moon Empire, the most elite spirit tool masters in the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms were only Rank 8. Anyone who could become a Rank 8 Spirit Tool Master had to be at least a Soul Saint, and was very likely a Soul Douluo—an expert on the same level as herself.

Nan Shui Shui did not suspect that Luan Yu came from the Sun Moon Empire. After all, Luan Yu spoke the continental common tongue with a clear Star Luo Empire accent. Besides, what rare metals could a spirit tool master from the Sun Moon Empire possibly lack? How could a Rank 8 Spirit Tool Master from the Sun Moon Empire be reduced to personally searching for rare metals? Only spirit tool masters neglected in the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms would end up in such dire straits.

Still, she did not look down on Luan Yu. It was no easy feat to become a Rank 8 Spirit Tool Master in an environment like the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Though Nan Shui Shui was a traditional soul master, she was not particularly hostile toward Soul Tools. It was merely the general climate, and the Earthly Dragon Gate had simply gone along with the trend.

Watching the little ones mingle together, the two women exchanged a knowing smile. And so, the children played together while the two adults watched from behind with warm smiles.

Liu Xing felt rather helpless. He had no desire to play with a bunch of brats. He was an unyielding, iron-boned man—how could he possibly blend in with children? Firefly, however, quickly joined them. She held hands with Nan Qiuqiu, and their relationship warmed at lightning speed.

Nan Qiuqiu was especially fond of this little sister who called her big sister. All her playmates were descendants of Earthly Dragon Gate disciples. Among those qualified to play with her and become her followers, there were only a few boys—not a single girl.

Nan Qiuqiu then sternly addressed the Earthly Dragon Gate boys. "From now on, Firefly is my little sister and your Second Sister Head. Do you hear me?"

The Earthly Dragon Gate disciples all drooped dejectedly. Being made to call a little girl two years younger than them Second Sister Head felt far too embarrassing. But Big Sister Head had spoken. Given her little demon personality, if they dared argue, they would suffer for it later.

They could only put on bitter faces and call out to Firefly in unison, "Greetings, Second Sister Head."

Firefly found it quite amusing and nodded repeatedly in response.

Then Nan Qiuqiu pointed at Liu Xing. "Liu Xing will be my little brother from now on too. You have to call him... call him... Second Brother Head?"

Pfft!

Nan Shui Shui and Luan Yu covered their mouths and laughed. These little ones were far too amusing.

Liu Xing's face turned green. What the hell was Second Brother Head? He hurriedly waved his hands. "No, just call me Liu Xing."

What kind of nonsense was Second Brother Head? If they really called him that, he would die of social embarrassment. He really could not expect a six-year-old girl to possess much cultural refinement.

Seeing Liu Xing at a loss, Firefly covered her mouth and giggled. This was too amusing. Was this her new life, her new beginning? She was growing more and more excited for the life ahead.

The little Earthly Dragon Gate children looked at one another, then turned to Nan Qiuqiu. Nan Qiuqiu hesitated, perhaps also feeling that Second Brother Head sounded unpleasant. At last, she waved her hand. "Forget it. Call him whatever you want."

Liu Xing and the Earthly Dragon Gate children sighed in relief at the same time. Thank goodness, thank goodness. They had nearly died of embarrassment.

Holding back a laugh, Luan Yu said to Nan Shui Shui, "Your child is really interesting."

Nan Shui Shui shook her head helplessly. She had no way of dealing with her mischievous Little Demon Girl. At such a young age, she had already completely subdued several boys, making them call her Big Sister Head one after another. What would happen when she grew up? How would she ever get married like this?

Watching the little children gathered together, Luan Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "Sister Nan, I have an improper request. I'm not sure whether I should say it."

Luan Yu shamelessly called herself little sister, showing no awareness whatsoever of being a Rank 9 Spirit Tool Master. Of course, she was a Titled Douluo who had advanced through pills, and her cultivation speed far exceeded that of traditional soul masters. She might truly have been younger than Nan Shui Shui.
