Xiao Yu's Long Legs!

Chapter 23: Xiao Yu's Long Legs!

"Brother Xiao Ze, you're going on a long trip?!"

The sudden news made Xiao Xun'er cry out in surprise.

"Then where are you going, Brother Xiao Ze? Why did you suddenly get the idea?"

"I don't know either. Ever since I advanced to Dou Master, the thought has been stuck in my mind, and I can't shake it."

Xiao Ze gave a vague explanation. Seeing the confusion on Xiao Xun'er's face, he reached out and patted her head.

"Don't worry. With my current strength, as long as I'm careful and don't go looking for trouble, ordinary people won't be able to hurt me."

"But this is so sudden!" Xiao Xun'er hurriedly said. "And the Jia Nan Academy enrollment date is coming up soon, isn't it? Why plan a long trip now?"

"That's why I planned to ask Cousin Xiao Yu for the exact date. Otherwise, this thought will keep nagging at me, and I won't be able to focus on my cultivation."

Xiao Ze's reasoning left Xiao Xun'er silent. Since it concerned his cultivation, he wouldn't joke about something like this.

"All right, then. Do you need me to come with you, Brother Xiao Ze?"

"No. I'm only going to satisfy this urge of mine. I might end up going anywhere."

Xiao Ze shook his head. Of course he knew where he was going—Green Mountain Town.

It would be inconvenient to bring Xun Er along.

"Besides, we'll be camping out, and the conditions won't be as good as they are in the Xiao Clan. You should stay here, Xun Er. At least you'll be safe."

Seeing that Xiao Xun'er was about to speak, Xiao Ze hurriedly cut in.

"I'm going to put this nagging thought to rest. When I come back, my strength might have increased by leaps and bounds. If you're with me, Xun Er, I might leave you far behind!"

Only then did Xiao Xun'er silently nod. She followed Xiao Ze without a word, but her right hand clung tightly to his.

Xiao Ze sighed inwardly. Xiao Yi Xian was the person he had chosen to bind as an auxiliary.

This time, he really had no choice but to go to Green Mountain Town!

After obtaining the auxiliary binding, Xiao Ze had carefully assessed everyone in the Xiao Clan.

To put it simply, at present, Xiao Xun'er was the only golden legend in the entire Xiao Clan.

With Yao Lao's help, Xiao Yan might one day recover his talent and become a golden legend after learning alchemy.

But right now, he was only an ordinary white.

In fact, almost everyone in the Xiao Clan was an ordinary white.

Thanks to the feedback he received from Xiao Xun'er, he could barely count as a golden legend himself.

Among the powerful talents and abilities he could obtain early on, Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body was unquestionably top-tier—and extremely easy to acquire!

In a small town somewhere in the eastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

As for Queen Medusa's Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline, she hadn't yet used a Heavenly Flame to temper it and evolve her bloodline.

Moreover, judging from the original story, what Queen Medusa ultimately evolved into was largely a matter of chance.

Not to mention the danger Queen Medusa herself posed.

He was only a lowly Dou Master right now. If he dared venture into the depths of the desert, Queen Medusa could crush him with a single finger.

Qing Lin was another good choice, but she was too far away. He might not make it back in time for the Jia Nan Academy enrollment.

All things considered, among those in the Jia Ma Empire with golden-legend-level talents, Xiao Yi Xian was the easiest to recruit!

The two were heading for the Grand Elder's residence when they ran into Xiao Yu at a crossroads.

She was chatting and laughing with Xiao Mei, and they looked to be heading toward the back mountain.

"Cousin Xiao Yu, could you wait a moment?"

Xiao Ze called out to her, and the two women ahead stopped.

When Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei saw Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er, they were both a little surprised.

These two were the clan's favored geniuses. Why had they suddenly come looking for them?

Xiao Yu stopped and watched Xiao Ze approach. She had already seen him at the gathering, and he had truly left her astonished.

The quiet little boy she remembered had grown into a handsome, graceful young man.

Xiao Yu had met Xiao Ze a few times when they were children. Once, when she was heading to the back mountain to bathe in the hot spring, she had run into him.

He had warned her to be careful, in case someone tried to spy on her.

Thanks to Xiao Ze's warning, Xiao Yu had been on her guard. Even when she bathed in the hot spring, she hadn't taken off all her clothes.

She had also kept a careful watch on her surroundings—and sure enough, she caught a young pervert spying on her.

The awkward part was that the creep who had been peeping at her was none other than Xiao Ze's brother, the very person who had warned her to be careful.

Xiao Yan!

At the time, Xiao Yu had thought it was hilarious. Xiao Ze's good intentions had ended up getting Xiao Yan into trouble instead.

That was why Xiao Ze had left such a deep impression on her. Even though she rarely heard news of him afterward, she still remembered him.

"Xiao Ze, is something the matter?"

When Xiao Ze came up to Xiao Yu, his gaze was immediately drawn to her long legs.

As expected, Xiao Yu's most striking feature was that pair of long, shapely legs!

And with the Jia Nan Academy uniform, white with blue trim, the hem of her skirt left a generous stretch of thigh bare, while knee-high boots covered her feet.

It made her long legs stand out even more.

"Cousin Xiao Yu, Xun Er and I are planning to take the Jia Nan Academy entrance exam. I wanted to ask when the academy will be coming to Wutan City."

Xiao Ze glanced twice at her alluring legs, then shifted his gaze to Xiao Yu's eyes.

Long legs were nice, but he shouldn't get carried away.

At that, Xiao Yu felt relieved.

Although she had already heard from her grandfather that Xiao Ze and Xiao Ning had buried the hatchet, she had still worried that Xiao Ze might have come to cause trouble for her.

Just as her grandfather had said, Xiao Ze was broad-minded.

Xiao Yu wore a thoughtful expression and lightly touched a fingertip to her lips.

"The Jia Nan Academy enrollment will be in about a month."

"If you and Cousin Xun Er want to take the entrance exam, I can take you there. It'll save you a lot of trouble, and the person in charge of enrollment happens to be my mentor."

As she spoke, Xiao Yu seemed worried Xiao Ze might not trust her.

She patted her chest and added a final sentence, invoking her mentor to reassure him.

"In a month?" Xiao Ze considered it. There was plenty of time.

In the original story, Xiao Yan had taken five days to leave Wutan City and reach a resting place in the eastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Then, with the Heavy Profound Ruler on his back, he had walked for another two days to reach Green Mountain Town.

If Xiao Ze went straight to Green Mountain Town, he might not even need five days.

"In that case, I really must thank you, Cousin Xiao Yu. Cousin Xiao Ning and I had our differences, yet you're still treating me so kindly. You truly are broad-minded."

Since Xiao Yu had offered to help him, Xiao Ze had no qualms about flattering her a little.

Of course, he had learned those words from the Grand Elder.

Only now did Xiao Ze realize that the Grand Elder's honeyed words could actually come in handy.

As expected, life was full of lessons.

There was no end to what he could learn!

Hearing Xiao Ze's sincere praise, the smile on Xiao Yu's face grew wider.

After all, what woman didn't want to hear that she was broad-minded?

Their relationship had been a little cool to begin with.

Xiao Ze's words were like grease on squeaky hinges, drawing them much closer in an instant.

Xiao Yu even came over of her own accord and told the two of them all sorts of things about the enrollment.

Xiao Mei stood to one side, listening carefully. She also planned to make her future at Jia Nan Academy, so there was no harm in learning more.

Before long, the group had hit it off and agreed to head to the back mountain together to bathe in the hot spring. The coming-of-age ceremony had left them all feeling sticky and uncomfortable.

Of course, Xiao Ze stood guard outside.
