Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength

Xiao Chen immediately withdrew from his cultivation state, ending this session of cultivation.

"Brother Chen, are you there?" Xiao Yan's voice called out from outside the courtyard.

"What powerful soul force!"

Just then, Yao Lao within the black ring sensed a sweep of soul force coming from the courtyard and could not help but marvel.

"Little Yan, what do you need me for?"

Xiao Chen walked out of his room, saw Xiao Yan standing in the courtyard, and asked.

Xiao Chen knew that this kid Xiao Yan had come to borrow money from him.

After all, Xiao Chen knew the plot. That was the difference between a "transmigrator" and another "transmigrator."

"Um, Brother Chen, how much money do you still have?" Xiao Yan asked with an embarrassed, dry laugh.

Within the family, aside from his father, Brother Chen was the only one who had the best relationship with him.

That was why Xiao Yan had set his sights on Xiao Chen for borrowing money. If Xiao Chen did not have any, Xiao Yan could only swallow his pride and go to Xiao Zhan in the end.

However, Xiao Yan did not want to go to Xiao Zhan, because he knew his father did not have it easy either.

Xiao Chen seemingly glanced casually at the black ring on Xiao Yan's hand and smiled. "How much do you need?"

"One thousand Gold Coins."

Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together as he spoke.

"You should know the situation of our family. Although I don't have that much money, someone does."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yan with his dark eyes and spoke meaningfully.

"Brother Chen, you mean Xun'er."

Seeing the meaning in Xiao Chen's gaze, Xiao Yan quickly understood.

Within the Xiao Family, Xiao Xun'er's identity had always been mysterious, but Brother Chen's relationship with Xiao Xun'er—

"Don't worry. I'll take care of the money. Just wait in my courtyard for a while."

With that, Xiao Chen walked out of the courtyard on his own and headed toward Xiao Xun'er's residence.

Living off a woman while acting tough.

That was all Xiao Chen could think.

Because Xiao Chen's appearance had captured Xiao Xun'er's heart.

As a result, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan no longer had as close a relationship as they did in the original story.

Xiao Chen arrived outside Xiao Xun'er's room. After hesitating for a moment, he finally knocked on the door.

Knock

"Xun'er."

Xiao Chen raised his hand and knocked on the door as he called out.

"Brother Xiao Chen!"

Before long, Xiao Xun'er came out of the room. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Chen as she called to him affectionately.

"Brother Xiao Chen, what do you need Xun'er for?"

With Xiao Xun'er's intelligence, she quickly guessed Xiao Chen's purpose.

After all, one did not visit a temple without a reason.

Besides, Xiao Chen would not normally come to see her during the day.

Xiao Xun'er gazed at Xiao Chen, her heart pounding as her ample chest rose and fell slightly. A faint blush colored her exquisite face.

At her words, Xiao Chen's expression became a little unnatural.

Xiao Chen had borrowed money in his previous life as well. After all, everyone faced difficult times.

But borrowing money from a girl was something Xiao Chen had truly never done before.

Still, when Xiao Chen thought that Xiao Xun'er would become his woman someday, he felt at ease.

"Xun'er, I'd like to borrow some money from you. While we're at it, I'll take you around Wutan City."

A peculiar look appeared on Xiao Chen's handsome face as he smiled.

"Brother Xiao Chen, how much do you need?"

A smile bloomed on Xiao Xun'er's exquisite face. Her already beautiful features immediately gained an additional touch of charm.

"One thousand Gold Coins."

Xiao Chen walked up to Xiao Xun'er, stretched out his fair, slender arm, and pinched her delicate, pale cheek.

"Here."

Xiao Xun'er took out a Black Card from her Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Chen, saying softly.

The Black Card was an ordinary deposit card, and its maximum balance could not exceed five thousand Gold Coins.

Xiao Chen reached out and took it. With a glance, he saw that it contained exactly five thousand Gold Coins.

"Is this what they call a rich woman?"

Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

"Xun'er, aren't you going to ask what I need so much money for?"

"You didn't say, Brother Xiao Chen, but Xun'er believes in you."

A smile and trust rested on Xiao Xun'er's delicate, porcelain-doll-like face.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen lowered his head and gently kissed Xiao Xun'er's fair, smooth forehead.

"Don't worry. I'll pay you back someday."

Xiao Chen rubbed Xiao Xun'er's head again and promised.

"Who wants you to pay it back..."

Xiao Xun'er pouted and said coyly.

Xiao Chen said nothing more. Taking Xiao Xun'er's fair, tender little hand, he returned to his courtyard with her.

Back at the courtyard, Xiao Chen saw Xiao Yan waiting there and handed him the Black Card.

"Thanks, Brother Chen." Xiao Yan took the Black Card, glanced at the number on it, and thanked him.

"Little Yan, are you going to the Market? Let's go together," Xiao Chen said, looking at Xiao Yan.

"Is Xun'er coming too?"

Xiao Yan glanced at the Xiao Xun'er whose hand Xiao Chen was holding and asked.

Xiao Chen nodded.

The three of them—Xiao Chen, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Xun'er—immediately left the Xiao Family together.

On the streets of Wutan City, crowds surged through the streets, and the occasional strange race could even be seen.

Xiao Chen strolled along the street while holding Xiao Xun'er's hand, while Xiao Yan had already disappeared from sight.

After all, Xiao Yan needed to find the medicinal ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

After taking Xun'er through several turns along the broad streets, Xiao Chen finally slipped into a medium-sized Market in the southern part of the city. This Market was one of those controlled by the Xiao Family.

After all, the Xiao Family was one of the three great families in Wutan City.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, Miss Xun'er, have you come to the Market to buy something?"

Not long after Xiao Chen entered through the Market gates while holding Xiao Xun'er's hand, a respectful voice came from behind him.

Following the voice, he saw seven or eight burly men dressed in the Xiao Family's uniform standing behind them. The speaker was a robust man in his thirties leading them. A badge was pinned to his chest, bearing six golden stars. Clearly, he was a Six-Star Dou Practitioner.

Once Xiao Chen saw the man's face clearly, he frowned, as he did not recognize him.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, my name is Pei En. I am the captain of the guards personally appointed by the Patriarch, specifically responsible for protecting the Market."

The middle-aged man seemed to notice the confusion in Xiao Chen's eyes and explained.

Xiao Chen was something of a celebrity within the Xiao Family. After all, there were not many in the family capable of challenging opponents above their level.

"You've worked hard. I haven't come to the Market for anything in particular this time—just to look around."

Xiao Chen gave the captain named Pei En a friendly look and smiled.

Since he was the captain of the guard personally appointed by Xiao Zhan, he was naturally one of his direct subordinates. There should be no issue with his loyalty.

Perhaps no one in Wutan City had any designs on him yet.

After all, the Xiao Family's greatest enemies were the Soul Clan and the Soul Hall.

But in a small place like Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire on the Northwest Continent, the Soul Hall's reach probably had not extended this far yet, right?

What Xiao Chen needed to do now was develop quietly while checking in with goddesses.
