Chance Encounter with Xiao Xun'er!

Ning Luo turned several corners along the streets before finally darting into a medium-sized marketplace in the southern part of the city. There were several such marketplaces in Wutan City, each controlled by one of the city's three great families.

Lazily following Ning Luo as he wandered about, he kept taking in the marketplace's myriad sights.

After circling around for a while, Ning Luo gradually entered the depths of the marketplace. The goods sold here were generally far more precious than those outside, so customers who could afford to shop here were considered somewhat influential in Wutan City.

Just then, Ning Luo suddenly heard voices coming from ahead.

Ning Luo looked up.

He spotted a familiar figure.

Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er was also one of his Goddesses. Interacting with Xiao Xun'er would surely earn him a Sign-in Opportunity.

However, the last time Xiao Xun'er had seen him, she had immediately attacked him.

Ning Luo did not know why she had attacked him last time, but Xiao Xun'er was, at the very least, one of his Goddesses. He should still try to win her over.

"Eh, isn't this Miss Xun'er? Hehe, I never expected to run into you here. What fate."

Xun'er's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she turned toward the voice, only to see a group of people surging over. At their center, like stars surrounding the moon, they escorted a richly dressed young man.

The young man was around twenty years old and quite handsome, though his complexion was somewhat pale. His eyes burned with heat as they remained fixed on the graceful young girl in the distance, his gaze filled with undisguised admiration.

Ning Luo remembered the plot of the original work.

This young man should be Galeo.

It seemed this Galeo had given him an opportunity to play the hero and save the beauty.

As for whether he could win Xiao Xun'er's heart, he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate!

Looking at the handsome young man's delighted expression, Xun'er's slender brows knit slightly. Ignoring his call, she turned and walked away.

"Miss Xun'er!"

Seeing Xun'er turn away, anxiety immediately appeared on the handsome young man's pale face. He quickened his pace, then stepped sideways to block Xun'er's path.

Blocked by the young man, Xun'er had no choice but to stop. Her narrow, limpid eyes narrowed lazily as she gazed at him indifferently without saying a word.

"Miss Xun'er..." Under the gaze of the girl's watery eyes, the young man, who had long moved among beautiful women, found his breathing becoming somewhat hurried. Even his usual silver tongue seemed to have failed him.

"Young Master Galeo, if there is nothing else, please move aside. I have matters to attend to."

Looking at the young man whose face had reddened slightly, Xun'er finally spoke. The girl's tender, soft voice immediately brought an unhealthy flush to the pale face of the young man opposite her.

"Hehe, Miss Xun'er, have you come to the marketplace to buy something? I happen to be free. Why don't we stroll around together?" Taking a deep breath inwardly, Galeo's smile became bright and gentle. With his status and looks, this smile had helped him win the hearts of beautiful women more than once.

"Young Master Galeo, I have already said that I have matters to attend to! Could you please move aside?" Xun'er's small lips pressed together slightly, her voice utterly calm and without the slightest fluctuation.

Rejected outright by Xun'er, the corner of Galeo's mouth twitched, but the smile on his face remained. He reached into his robes and rummaged around.

At last, he pulled out a bracelet. It was pale blue-gold in color, its chain forged from Gold-Blue Iron. At the point where the chain joined hung a green Magic Crystal polished into the shape of a round bead.

A faint green glow shone from it, rendering the bracelet exquisitely beautiful. This delicate bracelet was clearly worth a considerable sum.

"Hehe, since Miss Xun'er has matters to attend to, it would indeed be forcing things if Galeo continued to obstruct you." Galeo carefully held the bracelet and said eagerly, "I specifically purchased this Wood Spirit Bracelet in the marketplace just now.

Though it cannot be considered particularly precious, it is set with a first-tier Wood Attribute Magic Crystal, which greatly enhances the recovery of Dou Qi.

Miss Xun'er has yet to become a Dou Zhe, so this is simply the most suitable accessory for you. It is only a small token of my regard, so please do not refuse it.

Otherwise, I would truly lose face in front of my subordinates..." At the end, Galeo deliberately cracked a small joke, and the subordinates around him cooperatively burst into laughter.

Watching Galeo's actions, Xun'er's brows furrowed once more. She felt utterly helpless toward this clingy pest.

Just then, a voice rang out. "A mere Wood Spirit Bracelet, and you have the nerve to give it as a gift?"

As soon as those words were spoken.

Everyone looked up.

They saw a young man walking toward them step by step.

The youth looked fourteen or fifteen years old.

Dressed in white, he walked step by step toward Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er stared at the white-robed youth in utter shock.

Wasn't that... Ning Luo?

The first time Xun'er had met Ning Luo, she had become interested in him.

Thus, Xiao Xun'er had tested Ning Luo's strength.

The first time, she had even lost to Ning Luo.

She had some interest in Ning Luo.

She had never expected to encounter Ning Luo here again.

At that moment, several of Galeo's subordinates immediately surrounded Ning Luo. Galeo looked at Ning Luo coldly and asked, "Kid, who are you to dare meddle in this young master's business?"
