Xiao Xiao's Wild Imagination (Please Follow)

Just as they stepped into the forest.

A rich, herbal fragrance wafted into their noses.

"Strictly speaking, it seems like there are high-quality alchemy materials everywhere."

Because he possessed the experience of a fifth-grade alchemist, entering the Star Dou Great Forest felt like stepping into a medicinal field, which was quite attractive to Xuanyuan Sheng.

The scent of herbs and raw wood made him feel a sense of nostalgia.

"Alchemy?"

Xiao Xiao, that little loli, had her eyes widen the moment she heard the word alchemy, and she clung to his arm like a koala.

She swayed from side to side, acting spoiled: "Xiao Sheng, just refine some pills for me. That senior sister you recommended I visit last time was too weird; I don't want to go see her anymore."

After saying this, she paused, her tone turning puzzled: "Is she really our senior sister? If so, why doesn't she go to the academy, and instead spends all day wrapped in a black robe acting like a mysterious person... and, and..."

By the time she finished, Xiao Xiao was scratching her head in embarrassment, dropping the question entirely.

And what?

Xuanyuan Sheng was completely defeated by this little girl Xiao Xiao. It was just alchemy; what was there to be shy about? She had stuttered like she was stuck.

But seeing Xiao Xiao's face suddenly flush red again, he gave up on the idea of asking. He knew that if he pressed her, she definitely wouldn't answer.

Ignoring the shy, pouting Xiao Xiao, Xuanyuan Sheng turned his gaze back to this world.

This world was truly a paradise for alchemists.

The only pity was that among alchemists, only the Xuanming Sect had found a slight path toward alchemy, focusing on improving aptitude and soul power, and everything they researched was only beneficial to water-attribute soul masters.

It could only be said that they had barely touched the edge of alchemy.

Walking along the path, one could obtain a soul ring just by hacking at any random Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, which showed that spirit herbs were things that could be seen everywhere.

Even plucking a random strand of Blue Silver Grass could be used for alchemy; what a friendly world this was for an alchemist.

"Xiao Sheng."

The voice of Zhang Lexuan came from behind them.

Xuanyuan Sheng and Xiao Xiao walked over to her side together to see what arrangements this big sister had in mind.

"Neither of you has truly engaged in that kind of bloody combat, so I want to arrange for you two to fight soul beasts first to get a taste of it. How about it? What do you think?"

She looked at Xiao Xiao and her own brother, though her attention was focused more on Xuanyuan Sheng.

It didn't matter if they didn't want to.

After all, she was almost a Title Douluo.

If she didn't even have the ability to protect her family from seeing these things, wouldn't her cultivation have been in vain?

"No problem, of course we can," Xuanyuan Sheng said firmly.

Recently, the knowledge points granted to him by Humanity's Luck had been a bit scarce, but fortunately, it had compensated for this deficiency with some combat experience.

That was the training ground condensed by Humanity's Luck; although he didn't know why it could only be activated at night, it was enough to make up for his lack of combat experience.

"Is it against soul beasts?"

Xiao Xiao muttered under her breath.

To be honest, she really didn't want to fight soul masters right now. Although she still loved to fight, she was being bullied every night and called a "shorty," so who wouldn't be angry at that?

Of course, as long as she wasn't fighting that foggy figure from her dreams, Xiao Xiao's passion for battle was still very high.

But whenever night fell, that figure whose appearance, face, and height she couldn't clearly see would suddenly pop out of her dreams.

In terms of soul power, they were both at the same level and could only release two soul rings, but the opponent starting with two black soul rings had scared her half to death.

Fortunately, after experiencing it a few times, she was mentally prepared, and more importantly, Xiao Xiao knew it was just a dream, so that feeling had gradually dissipated.

"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Sheng looked curiously at the muttering Xiao Xiao.

Wasn't this little loli the most violent one? Why hadn't she slapped her chest and insisted on taking the lead?

"Nothing, go for it, Xiao Sheng!"

Xiao Xiao thought happily that she seemed to have been "conquered" by Sister Lexuan first, so didn't that mean her current status was a cut above Xuanyuan Sheng's?

Although Xiao Sheng had said he wanted to take Sister Lexuan as his master, the formal apprenticeship hadn't started yet. Strictly speaking, the one who performed the apprenticeship ceremony first should be the senior sister.

The more she thought about it, the brighter the light in Xiao Xiao's eyes became.

Her little yellow-haired head was spinning rapidly.

For sister-figures like Sister Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, it seemed like Xiao Sheng preferred listening to them, so as long as she became the senior sister...

Ordering Xiao Sheng to warm the bed, serve her while bathing... everything she had thought about in her head could be put on the schedule.

Amidst Xiao Xiao's giggling, Xuanyuan Sheng took a step back.

This little loli was making that creepy laughing sound again; it was better to let her start first.

Zhang Lexuan nodded at them gently.

Not long after, Ma Xiaotao, who had been turned into a beast of burden, arrived in their vicinity with a group of Steel-Toothed Pigs.

There was no helping it; to demonstrate her diligence, a task like this had to be handled by her, Ma Xiaotao.

"Whew~"

"Sister Lexuan, what do you think of these? I picked them out very carefully." Ma Xiaotao smiled triumphantly.

The bitterness of the present is all for the sweetness of the future.

Only by paralyzing the enemy can one obtain what one desires; this is called an open conspiracy, do you understand, little system?

Zhang Lexuan used the system to carefully inspect the age of these soul beasts.

She discovered that Ma Xiaotao had truly put in the effort; if she hadn't used the system, she wouldn't have been able to catch soul beasts that matched the requirements so perfectly.

Since the preparatory work was complete, the battlefield could now be left to the two young soul masters.

Zhang Lexuan distributed several Soul Tools used for driving away soul beasts to Ma Xiaotao; given the intelligence of these soul beasts, they would not attempt to break through this perimeter, making it just right for them.

"It's a Steel-Toothed Pig, Xiao Sheng, let the tea..."

Xiao Xiao's palm swiped toward the side, but it didn't touch Xuanyuan Sheng at all; instead, it hit nothing but air.

"Big sister..."

She slowly looked behind her.

She discovered that Xuanyuan Sheng had long since retreated to the treetops behind them along with Sister Lexuan and the others.

[Because of your wild fantasies just now, he felt scared, so you will be the one to start.]

The Love System reminded her quite kindly.

"You can read my mind?"

Xiao Xiao cautiously covered her chest; she didn't want to have no secrets at all. A beautiful girl's youthful romantic fantasies were something extremely embarrassing and: things that could not be spoken of to others.

[I'm not reading your damn mind. The lovesick expression on your face is plastered right there; anyone could tell what you were thinking just now.]

The Love System roared in Xiao Xiao's mind, frustrated by her lack of self-awareness.

Xiao Xiao subconsciously covered her ears with her hands.

Several scattered hundred-year Steel-Toothed Pigs came charging from behind her.

Feeling the vibrations coming from the ground, her gaze changed instantly, and with an excited look in her eyes, she summoned her Violent Gauntlets.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Sheng, up in the tree, wasn't even considering Xiao Xiao's incredibly genius soul ring configuration yet.

The mere sight of this never-before-seen martial soul left him completely bewildered.
