A Chance Encounter with Han Xue

"She does indeed resemble Moon somewhat, and her personality and temperament are similar to before. No wonder they're sisters."

Xiao Tian recalled the first time he met Han Yue; she also had a cold demeanor, but her heart was very warm.

Xiao Tian didn't expect to run into Han Yue's younger sister, Han Xue, outside. But it made sense, since Han Xue handled most of the caravan's affairs.

This is clearly the look of someone returning to Tianbei City after completing a mission.

"Phew~ They're finally gone. What a terrifying aura they had."

"This is terrifying! Is this the terror of Sixth Order Magical Beast?"

"That magical beast looks like someone else's mount. Did you guys see that guy on it? He's incredibly handsome."

"If I were even a tenth as handsome as him, Xiao Zhu from the Spring Breeze Pavilion would be so infatuated with me that she'd be willing to pay me off."

After the Amethyst Winged Lion King left, everyone began to discuss the matter with lingering fear.

"Miss, he's probably a young master from some powerful family passing by. Luckily, he doesn't act like those people from other factions."

Han Chong, still shaken, remarked that a young man who could possess Sixth Order Magical Beast as a mount must come from some powerful force.

People from powerful factions are generally arrogant and quick to kill, which is commonplace for them.

If the other party gets upset, they might attack us.

"Hmm, since they've already left, it means they were just passing by, so there's no need to pay them any attention." Han Xue sheathed her Long Sword, recalling the man's appearance in her mind, searching through all her knowledge, but found no information whatsoever.

"Are you talking about me?" a playful voice rang out in everyone's ears.

Everyone was startled by the sound and instantly grabbed their weapons, looking in the direction from which it came.

Less than ten meters from their camp, a huge magical beast stood there, with a handsome young man on its back.

It was the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian felt obliged to greet his sister-in-law, but she seemed to have been frightened by him.

Han Xue was also very nervous at this moment; all of them together were no match for the monster in front of them.

"Roar--!" Zi Yao let out a deafening roar that made everyone's eardrums ache. The guards around Han Xue were so frightened that they retreated one after another, and some of them even almost fell over.

"Young master, we are very sorry!" Han Xue forced herself to remain calm, clasped her hands and bowed, saying, "We did not mean any offense. Please forgive us if we have offended you."

Xiao Tian smiled slightly and stood up gently. Zi Yao obediently lowered his body and lay down on the ground. Xiao Tian leaped up and landed lightly on the ground, his clothes fluttering like Fallen Immortal descending to earth.

Upon hearing the apology, a thought inexplicably popped into Xiao Tian's mind: When apologizing, one must show sincerity by making a gesture resembling a ⊙⊙!

Xiao Tian quickly shook off the thought, realizing that he must have been corrupted by Ya Fei and the others.

Ya Fei and her female companions:????

"An apology alone isn't enough..." Xiao Tian glanced at everyone with a half-smile, his gaze lingering on Han Xue for a second longer. "Hmm, I've got my eye on your barbecue!"

Upon hearing this, Han Xue froze on the spot, her prepared words instantly stuck in her throat, and the surrounding guards also stiffened.

Han Xue quickly composed herself, regaining her composure. The man in front of her seemed to have no ill intentions.

He secretly wondered: Who exactly is this person? He asked for barbecue as soon as he opened his mouth, yet it was impossible to refuse.

She stepped forward and said sincerely, "My name is Han Xue. May I ask your name, sir? We've already eaten quite a bit of this roast meat. If you don't mind, I can have it roasted again!"

Xiao Tian looked at Han Xue in front of him and wondered if she would explode if she found out his true identity later.

"Xiao Tian!" Xiao Tian didn't hide anything and gave his name as well. "Then you make the arrangements!"

He then looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King: "Prepare a larger one for him too."

Han Xue hurriedly invited Xiao Tian to sit down by the fire and began instructing the guards to prepare two portions of demon beast meat.

"Zi Yao, go over there," Xiao Tian said to Zi Yao, pointing to a fire nearby where a large piece of roasted meat was burning.

After a burst of purple light, the Amethyst Winged Lion King transformed into human form.

This operation shocked everyone. A magical beast capable of transformation must either be Seventh Rank Magical Beast or have consumed a valuable Transformation Pill.

The aura emanating from the magical beast in front of them clearly indicated that it was Sixth Order Magical Beast; therefore, it was the latter.

Zi Yao, being very sensible, sat down right next to the fire. He knew, of course, that the person in front of him was not just eating barbecue; he had that much sense.

He looked at the grilled meat in front of him. He had never tried it before. He used to eat it raw. He never had the time to season it and grill it.

Xiao Tian sat casually on the ground, watching Han Xue grilling meat in front of him. Deep in her eyes, there was still a wary look.

He thought the guards would be the ones grilling, but to his surprise, she grilled it herself without doing anything wrong.

Of course, she only baked one portion; the larger portion of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was left to the other guards to bake.

While grilling the meat, Han Xue secretly observed Xiao Tian. The man in front of her was the most handsome person she had ever seen. No one could compare to him. He was handsome yet masculine, and his temperament was otherworldly and noble.

He thought to himself: This person seems casual, yet he exudes an extraordinary aura. I can't sense any presence from him; he seems like an ordinary person.

Han Xue naturally didn't believe that the man in front of her was an ordinary person, so there was only one possibility: his cultivation level was far higher than hers.

Xiao Tian naturally noticed that Han Xue was secretly looking at him, but he chose not to expose her.

The barbecue was quickly cooked. Han Xue took out a tray, carefully sliced the meat, and placed it on the tray.

"Xiao Tian, it's ready. Please have a taste." Han Xue used her Dou Qi to condense a small table and placed the roasted meat on it. At the Dou Spirit Realm, one can condense Qi into matter.

Xiao Tian picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed it a few times.

"Does it suit your taste, young master?" Han Xue asked softly.

Xiao Tian's lips curled up slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Not bad. The cooking time is just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The spices are also perfectly balanced, without overpowering the natural flavor of the meat."

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice steady yet carrying a touch of warmth.

Han Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that if the other party didn't suit her taste, they might suddenly attack. Many scions of powerful families are like that; they'll kill someone at the slightest inconvenience.

"If Young Master Xiao doesn't mind, I'd like to offer you a cup as an apology." Han Xue took out her treasured wine and two cups, filled them, and handed one to Xiao Tianyi while offering the other.

However, his movements were somewhat clumsy, clearly indicating that he rarely did this kind of service work.
