Chapter 25

After all, she still had a mission in Wuketan City.

Chapter Fifteen: Breaking the Siege

"Miss Xun'er, what do you think of this necklace? It even has a wood-element beast core. Only a beauty like Miss Xun'er deserves to own it. Here, Miss Xun'er, it's for you!"

Jia Lie Ao waved the necklace in his hand as he spoke to Xiao Xun'er.

The necklace was made of green gemstones, along with an azure wood-element beast core. Xiao Xun'er happened to be wearing a green dress as well, so it matched the necklace quite nicely.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xun'er had no interest in such a necklace at all.

If she wanted one, she could even use an eight- or nine-star beast core as a necklace.

"Sorry, Jia Lie Ao, I don't need it!"

Xiao Xun'er replied coldly, her tone full of impatience.

"Don't be like that, Miss Xun'er. I sincerely want to give it to you, so just accept it!"

What Jia Lie Ao lacked least was nerve, and he immediately began shamelessly pestering her.

"Jia Lie Ao, get lost. Cousin Xun'er wouldn't even look twice at your necklace!"

Damn it, Xiao Yan wasn't here. This was an incredibly rare chance to play the hero and save the beauty!

If he didn't seize it properly, when would he get another chance?

Xiao Long stepped forward at once, placing himself in front of Xiao Xun'er.

As for Jia Lie Ao's necklace... well, sorry, it had fallen to the ground...

"Xiao Long? You bastard! This necklace is worth over a thousand Gold Coins. Can you afford to pay for it if it breaks?"

Jia Lie Ao hurriedly picked up the necklace and inspected it carefully, terrified that it had been damaged in the fall.

After all, the Jia Lie Family had spent heavily this time and fallen into an economic crisis. A thousand Gold Coins was no small sum to the Jia Lie Family now!

"What kind of junk is that? Come on, let me show you what a real necklace looks like!"

Xiao Long immediately exchanged for a necklace.

This necklace was far from ordinary. It had cost Xiao Long thirty Exchange Points!

Set into it was a medium-sized Fire Crystal Jade, which could absorb powers such as fire-element spiritual energy and Dou Qi, increasing one's cultivation speed.

Xiao Xun'er's affinity was primarily fire-element as well, so this necklace suited her quite well.

It was also Xiao Xun'er's first time seeing such a peculiar item, and she was extremely curious.

When Jia Lie Ao saw the Fire Crystal Jade, he sensed powerful fire-element Dou Qi within it. He mistook it for a high-grade magical beast core and was left speechless.

His wood-element beast core was only one-star, the lowest grade...

"What is it, Cousin Xun'er? You don't like it?"

A sunny smile appeared on Xiao Long's face, leaving Xiao Xun'er rather puzzled.

For some reason, she felt that Xiao Long was no longer so unpleasant at this moment. Instead, he even seemed slightly handsome.

Xiao Xun'er even thought that Xiao Long at that moment somewhat resembled the Xiao Yan who had protected her years ago.

"I like it..."

Well, compared to Jia Lie Ao, Xiao Xun'er still thought Xiao Long was the better one.

Moreover, she no longer felt any dislike toward Xiao Long, so she accepted the Fire Crystal Jade, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She thought to herself, How wonderful it would be if Brother Xiao Yan were here right now.

However, the next moment, she caught the fragrance on Xiao Long's body—a scent that belonged only to women, exactly the same as before!

In an instant, the favorable impression Xiao Xun'er had only just developed toward Xiao Long vanished again...

But with Jia Lie Ao standing nearby, she did not flare up.

"Jia Lie Ao, don't you dare set your sights on Cousin Xun'er again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. I may recognize you, but my fists don't!"

Xiao Long waved his fist, as large as a sandbag, speaking with a hint of threat.

By now, he had wishfully decided that Xiao Xun'er had accepted his token of love.

Thus, he had also begun treating Xiao Xun'er as one of his women.

And since Jia Lie Ao dared to set his sights on Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Long would have to make him regret it.

"Bastard! A worthless piece of trash at Dou Disciple Nine Stages dares strut around in front of me? Let me show you how I'll deal with you!"

Seeing his plans ruined by Xiao Long, and seeing a mere Dou Disciple Nine Stages cultivator dare threaten him, a One-star Dou Practitioner, Jia Lie Ao was enraged!

So, he intended to teach Xiao Long a proper lesson.

The Jia Lie Family had now auctioned off a Mysterious-tier High-grade Dou Technique, making Nine Layered Waves their clan's signature Dou Technique.

Their former signature technique, the Mysterious-tier Low-grade Cloud Wind Fist, was no longer so important.

His father had allowed him to cultivate the Cloud Wind Fist as well, so he would use Xiao Long as a live target and see just how powerful it truly was!

Cloud Wind Fist!
