Hundred Victories in the Area of Slaughter (1)

Time passed amid slaughter and cultivation. Qian Xunji's strength grew with each passing day. Even he did not know exactly how powerful he had become, but he was certain that he had already broken through to Soul Douluo. As long as he obtained one Soul Ring, he could become a Soul Douluo.

It seemed that the benefits gained from tempering oneself through life-and-death struggles were astonishing. Though it was exhausting, the rewards were generous. Qian Xunji could now utterly crush the person he had been a year ago without any effort. He was already considering what kind of Soul Ring he should hunt.

With a creak, the tightly shut door slowly opened. A slender Girl in Black Clothes staggered in from outside, carrying a Bloody Scent with her. Without a doubt, it was Man Yao.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji hurried over to support her and helped her to a chair so she could rest for a while.

"Man Yao, the food will be ready soon. I've prepared bathwater for you. Go wash up first, bandage your wounds, then come eat. I'll go serve the food." With that, Qian Xunji got up and headed for the kitchen behind the room.

Man Yao revealed a sweet smile and replied, "Mm, Brother Qin, I'll go bathe first. I'll be quick." With that, she limped toward the bedroom.

This was how Qian Xunji and Man Yao usually got along. Ever since Qian Xunji had saved Man Yao that time, the two had lived here together. Qian Xunji was usually responsible for cooking, because his food was simply too delicious, its aroma constantly assaulting Man Yao's taste buds. Man Yao had actually felt rather embarrassed about it. Once, she had volunteered to cook for Qian Xunji herself. By the time Qian Xunji returned from the Area of Slaughter, Man Yao had nearly set the kitchen on fire. From then on, Qian Xunji never let Man Yao enter the kitchen again.

Meanwhile, Man Yao was responsible for washing their clothes, cleaning, and so on. Though the house she shared with Qian Xunji was not large, Man Yao had felt the warmth of family for the first time. It made her feel warm inside, almost addicted to it.

Their relationship was like that of siblings, and they cared deeply for each other. Such a thing was nearly impossible in the City of Slaughter, where deception, scheming, and ruthless competition played out every day. Their way of life was instead like a white lotus blooming from mud, untouched by its filth.

After quite a while, Qian Xunji had already placed the dishes on the table: four dishes, one soup, and two bowls of rice. The enticing aroma made one's appetite stir. Qian Xunji waited and waited, but Man Yao still had not come out. He hurriedly urged, "Man Yao, aren't you done yet? The food is getting cold. Come out as soon as you're finished."

"Got it, Brother Qin." The young girl's faintly coquettish complaint made his heart flutter.

Before long, Man Yao slowly emerged from the room.

She wore a black dress, its hem adorned with blooming lotus flowers embroidered in silk.

The black gown clung tightly to her exquisite, graceful figure. Her jade-like legs appeared especially slender and straight, her captivating curves impossibly alluring.

Her face was like autumn water, her skin as fair as congealed white jade. Her black eyes sparkled. Beneath her delicate bridge of nose, her cherry-like small mouth was rosy and glossy.

Her hair was still slightly damp, with droplets of water trailing down the young girl's neck and disappearing somewhere unknown.

Qian Xunji blushed and turned his head away. Somewhat flustered, he said, "I called you out to eat. Why are you dressed like that?"

Seeing Qian Xunji's embarrassed state, Man Yao could not help but laugh. "What business is it of yours? I'm comfortable dressed like this. I just want to loosen up a little. Is that not allowed?"

"Fine, fine, whatever you want. Hurry and eat. It won't taste good once it gets cold," Qian Xunji urged.

"Got it. You're so naggy. Wow, Brother Qin, you actually made Boiled Fish, my favorite! That's wonderful!" Man Yao exclaimed in delight.

"I knew you achieved 99 consecutive victories in the Area of Slaughter today, so I specially prepared it to celebrate. Hurry and eat." Qian Xunji spoke indulgently.

"Brother Qin..." The young girl choked up, unable to speak. Her eye sockets had turned red.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Is it not good?" Qian Xunji immediately panicked.

"No. I've had no father or mother since I was little, and I grew up in the City of Slaughter. Brother Qin, why are you so good to me? I'm not worth it," Man Yao said haltingly.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I've long regarded you as my little sister. Isn't it only natural to treat my little sister well?" Qian Xunji said.

"Brother Qin, can you be good to me for the rest of your life?" Man Yao asked, looking at Qian Xunji.

"Of course. If I'm not good to you, then who should I be good to? Hurry and eat. It won't taste good once it gets cold," Qian Xunji said.

"Mm." Man Yao obediently nodded.

At the same time, Man Yao thought to herself, Hmph, just a little sister? I don't want that.

After the meal, the two were thoroughly satisfied.

"Man Yao, both you and I have reached 99 victories in the Area of Slaughter. As long as we achieve 100 victories next, we can demand that the Slaughter King open the Hell Road," Qian Xunji said.

"But the Slaughter King definitely does not want us to achieve 100 consecutive victories in the Area of Slaughter. Tomorrow's 100th match in the Area of Slaughter certainly won't be simple." At this point, Qian Xunji's tone became low and grave.

Man Yao also said at this time, "Brother Qin, we'll definitely get through tomorrow safely."

"Mm. Tomorrow, we'll welcome our hundredth victory together and leave the City of Slaughter," Qian Xunji said.

There was one more thing Qian Xunji had not told Man Yao. He could definitely leave the City of Slaughter alone, but the Slaughter King would certainly not allow Man Yao to escape and would surely try to stop her. Whatever. Even if I have to risk my life, I'll take Man Yao away when the time comes.

"By the way, Brother Qin, if we leave the City of Slaughter, where will you go?" Man Yao asked.

"I'll most likely continue training in even more dangerous places," Qian Xunji said in a low voice.

"Ah, Brother Qin, why would you go somewhere so dangerous? Once we leave the City of Slaughter, we can go wherever we want," Man Yao said, unable to understand.

"You're still young. You don't understand. As for me, it's to protect everything I have, to protect everything I cherish. All of that requires powerful strength to support it," Qian Xunji said firmly.

At that moment, a unique aura emanated from him, one that made others intoxicated and unable to pull away. For some reason, Man Yao always felt that Qian Xunji's identity was extraordinary, that he radiated a Mysterious Aura in every way. But since Qian Xunji did not tell her, she would not ask, because she knew he would never harm her.

"Then am I among the people Big Brother wants to protect?" Man Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course. Man Yao is one of the people I cherish most. Naturally, I have to protect Man Yao well," Qian Xunji said with a smile.

It had to be said that Qian Xunji was truly handsome when he smiled. His long eyelashes fluttered, making him especially pleasing to the eye.

Man Yao's heart was as sweet as honey. She knew Qian Xunji would not lie to her.

"Man Yao, get some sleep early. Starting tomorrow, we'll face our true test," Qian Xunji said.

"Mm." Man Yao nodded.
