In Danger

Su Yun did not know what had happened at the Xiao Family. By now, he had already returned home.

For this move of cooperating with the Xiao Family to truly show major results, he would still have to wait some time.

A person's true strength lay in the heart. He had patience.

He had chosen not to make direct contact with Xiao Yan today because it was still better to have a suitable reason. He could not make it seem too abrupt.

"Brother!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Su Yun as he returned, her face full of smiles.

Su Yun looked at Xiao Yi Xian running toward him, and a smile also flashed through his heart.

Although he had taken her in before because he valued her future potential.

After spending this period of time together, however, they were already like family, like a pair of siblings who depended on each other, doing their best to survive in this cruel world.

Xiao Yi Xian hugged Su Yun, and a trace of worry flashed through his eyes.

If the matter of the Poisonous Body of Misfortune was not resolved, he still could not set his mind at ease.

In this world, reviving my beloved was no easy matter.

And with Xiao Yi Xian's Soul Power, when she died, he did not even know whether her soul would directly disperse.

In a person's life, there always had to be something to protect. Otherwise, with no desires and no wants, would one still be human? Even if one became strong, that kind of loneliness and desolation would drive a person mad.

The words Medicine Elder had said to Xiao Yan in the original work surfaced in his mind. He understood the meaning of those words.

He did not understand grand principles like the meaning of life. He only knew that Xiao Yi Xian was his family, and that was enough.

"Brother, can you take Xian'er out for a stroll? Xian'er hasn't gone out in so long."

Xiao Yi Xian spoke softly from within his arms.

When Su Yun heard this, he laughed despite himself.

During the time she had followed him, Xiao Yi Xian had basically stayed inside the house, both before they moved and now.

It was only normal that she wanted to go out and play.

"Let's go! Brother will take you around to your heart's content today."

"Yay!"

Xiao Yi Xian cheered with delight. This period of time had truly stifled her!

It was still early today. Su Yun held Xiao Yi Xian's hand and brought her to the markets within Wutan City.

Previously, because he needed to collect materials for the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid, he had gone through every market in Wutan City.

Naturally, he was familiar with the markets. He knew exactly where there was good food and where there were fun things to see.

The two of them played in Wutan City for an entire day.

To Su Yun, Wutan City did not have much that was fun, but Xiao Yi Xian was different.

Wutan City was already the largest city she had ever been to. In the past, she had only gone to Green Mountain Town a few times with her parents, so naturally, everything seemed novel to her.

Whatever Xiao Yi Xian took a fancy to, Su Yun paid for it. The current him was rolling in wealth. A few ornaments and toys were not worth mentioning.

The two wandered until dark, walking on the road home with packages of all sizes in their hands.

Because they were inside the city, with many people and countless eyes around, it was not convenient for them to directly put the things into the Ring of Holding.

At an intersection, Su Yun suddenly pulled Xiao Yi Xian's hand and turned into a corner.

Hm?

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Su Yun in some confusion.

They had clearly only needed to keep going straight just now to reach home, so why were they taking a detour?

"Xian'er, look ahead. Don't turn back, and don't make a sound. Someone is following us."

Su Yun whispered by Xiao Yi Xian's ear.

Hm?!

Xiao Yi Xian's body stiffened for an instant, then returned to normal.

She was still young, but she was very clever.

A trace of coldness flashed through Su Yun's eyes.

This world was just like this. Even if you behaved yourself and did not cause trouble, trouble would still come looking for you on its own.

Weakness was the original sin.

They had not exposed the Ring of Holding on their hands just now, but the Gold Coins they had used while shopping were enough to make those with ill intentions harbor thoughts they should not have.

The person following them used covert methods. He was clearly an old hand.

But Su Yun had roamed the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a year, and had also absorbed Medicine Elder's experience. His eyes were sharp, and he had long since discovered the chicken feet.

Name: Little Blackie

Gender: Male

Cultivation: Five-Star Dou Shi

Physique: None

Attribute: Wood

Cultivation Method: Yellow Tier High Grade "Mountain Chicken Classic"

Dou Technique: Yellow Tier High Grade "Chicken Ball"

He had already seen this person's panel while they were in the market.

This place was not bad.

Little Blackie sized up the surrounding environment. It was deserted, revealing his chicken feet.

"You two little brats up ahead, hand over all the Gold Coins on you!"

Little Blackie wore a wicked grin and decisively revealed himself. They were only two little brats around ten years old. How much cultivation could they have? With his strength, would they not be easily caught?

Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian pretended to be afraid. Su Yun took out some Gold Coins from his pocket and placed everything in his hands on the ground.

"Th-the money, I'll give it all to you. Please let us go."

Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian held each other, their expressions panicked, while a trace of cold light that was hard to detect flashed through their eyes. Little Blackie deserved a terrible death!

Although this person was four stars above him, the cultivation method and Dou Technique he cultivated were both pitifully low in grade. With Su Yun's strength, defeating him across levels would not be difficult.

But Xiao Yi Xian was still here. He had to kill him in one strike!

Little Blackie looked smug. He had noticed these two little ghosts back in the market. They had been buying wildly there.

He had observed carefully. There had been no guards beside either of them, so they probably were not some young master and young miss from a clan.

Most likely, they had picked up a sudden windfall from who knew where. In that case, it would benefit me.

Little Blackie did not have the slightest guard up.

In his view, for little ghosts of this age, having the cultivation of the fifth stage of Dou Qi would already be an extraordinary talent.

Little Blackie slowly approached Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian. As the distance grew closer and closer, Su Yun's confidence in killing him in one strike gradually rose.

Sixty percent...

Seventy percent...

Eighty percent...

As a close-combat Dou Technique, "Eight Extremities Collapse" had already reached great accomplishment. This person also had not cultivated a Xuan Tier defensive Dou Technique, and his cultivation method was not like an earth-attributed method, which leaned toward defense.

As long as the strike landed, he would die for certain!

His confidence grew higher and higher, but Su Yun did not immediately act. This person's nerves had already been numbed by money. The instant he picked up the Gold Coins would be the moment he lost his life.

Little Blackie walked before the two of them. He did not choose to deal with them first, but directly crouched down, wanting to pick up the Gold Coins.

The instant Little Blackie's hand touched the Gold Coins, Su Yun suddenly attacked.

Eight Extremities Collapse!

Su Yun's elbow struck Little Blackie directly on the forehead.

What!

Little Blackie roared in his heart, wanting to get up, but his body had already flown backward out of his control.

"Explode!"

Without hesitation, Su Yun directly triggered the eight layers of Hidden Force he had sent into his body.

Little Blackie's head exploded with a boom, and red and white matter scattered across the ground.

"Ugh..."

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Yi Xian's face showed discomfort. She covered her mouth with her small hand and crouched on the ground.

Su Yun hurriedly crouched down and patted Xiao Yi Xian's back.

It was only normal that Xiao Yi Xian was not used to such a bloody scene.

Su Yun had experienced this kind of situation once in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

The enemies inside the Magical Beast Mountain Range were not limited to magical beasts...

Killing people for their goods was a common occurrence.

Su Yun put the things on the ground and the Gold Coins into the Ring of Holding, then carried Xiao Yi Xian and dashed home.

After returning home, Su Yun comforted Xiao Yi Xian for quite a while. When night fell, Xiao Yi Xian once again lay on Su Yun's bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Phew, the site message just came. Looks like I'm finally about to sign the contract.

Ah, please give recommendation votes.
