Xiao Lan (Fifth Update!)

Su Yun took two jade bottles from the System Space.

He had Xiao Yu hand them to Xiao Zhan and Jialie Bi respectively.

"The one in Clan Leader Xiao's hand is a Fourth Grade Pill, the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. It can raise a Da Dou Shi's strength by three stars.

However, if refinement fails, there will be a backlash, and there is a risk your strength will drop."

Su Yun took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and Jialie Bi's eyes both widened. A boost of three stars—faced with such temptation, they both subconsciously ignored the backlash.

Xiao Zhan hurriedly thanked him, his face full of smiles.

"Many thanks, Master Han. I will accept this pill."

"Mm."

Su Yun nodded. He had already used this thing before, so it was just right as payment.

Though the Xiao Family's strength was beneath his notice, they were still somewhat useful. For handling trivial matters, such as wiping out some small clan, they were rather convenient to use.

At the side, Jialie Bi looked at the pill in his own hand and hurriedly asked,

"Master Han, may I ask what this one in my hand is?"

Jialie Bi's tone was cautious. After all, his relationship with Su Yun was not as familiar as the one between Xiao Zhan and Su Yun.

"The Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill. It is also a Fourth Grade Pill. It can only raise strength by one star, but there is no backlash when taking it. Compared with the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, it is more stable."

Su Yun said this because the Jialie Family had put in quite a bit of effort this time, so it was only right to give them some benefits appropriately.

Jialie Bi was delighted when he heard this. Although the Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill was not as good as the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, he was already satisfied.

After Su Yun gave the two of them their payment, he intended to head back. He had no intention of waiting for those three elders to return. With his status, there was no need to wait.

Su Yun rose and cupped his hands toward Jialie Bi and Xiao Zhan.

"I will be heading back first. I will have to trouble you two with the remnants of the Aoba Family."

Xiao Zhan and Jialie Bi hurriedly stood up and nodded in agreement. After that, amid the two men's words of deep gratitude, Su Yun left the Xiao Family.

He had been out for some time. He had to hurry back, or that girl would start worrying.

As Su Yun walked along the road, who knew what came to his mind, but a faint smile appeared on his face.

Before long, Su Yun had arrived near the house. The outline of the distant house had already appeared in his eyes.

Su Yun took a few steps forward, and his brows suddenly furrowed deeply.

There was the aura of a magical beast!

A trace of worry flashed through Su Yun's heart. He activated Mysterious Shadow Steps and sprinted madly at full speed.

Because he was worried, Su Yun did not go through the front. He directly climbed over the wall and entered.

When he returned to his own courtyard, he saw Xiao Yi Xian staying together with a Flying Magical Beast. It did not seem as if she had encountered danger.

Su Yun's brows eased slightly. This Flying Magical Beast was a Blue Eagle with blue feathers covering its entire body.

Combining it with his memories from his previous life, Su Yun vaguely understood what was going on.

At this moment, he could not help sighing at the wonder of fate. He had not expected that, in this life, Xiao Yi Xian would still be able to encounter this Blue Eagle.

Xiao Yi Xian currently had her back to Su Yun, and Su Yun's Mysterious Shadow Steps had already reached the great accomplishment realm.

When he climbed over the wall, he made no sound at all. Instead, it was this Blue Eagle that discovered him and let out a few cries.

However, the sound was not loud, and it clearly carried weakness. It seemed to have suffered severe injuries.

The Blue Eagle tilted its head and let out another cry. Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat puzzled and turned back to look behind her.

"Brother!"

Xiao Yi Xian let out a delighted cry. Every time Su Yun went out and returned, Xiao Yi Xian would be this pleasantly surprised. It had always been like this.

A smile reappeared on Su Yun's face as well. He opened both arms, and Xiao Yi Xian understood at once. She trotted a short distance and threw herself into Su Yun's arms.

With soft warmth in his embrace, Su Yun lowered his head into Xiao Yi Xian's hair and lightly sniffed the girl's fragrance.

The two hugged for a while before separating. Only then did Su Yun ask,

"Xian'er, how did this Blue Eagle end up at our home?"

"Oh, it. Not long after Brother left, it flew down from the sky. It was badly injured, so Xian'er bandaged it up."

Xiao Yi Xian explained, then seemed to think of something else and hurriedly added,

"Don't worry, Brother. Xian'er only approached it after confirming that she wouldn't be in danger."

Su Yun reached out and poked Xiao Yi Xian's forehead.

"You. Don't let it happen again."

Seeing this, a sweet smile appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face.

Brother is the best. Xian'er knew Brother wouldn't have the heart to blame me.

Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian walked forward and squatted down in front of the Blue Eagle.

Having such a Blue Eagle by Xiao Yi Xian's side was also good. He was usually busy cultivating and refining medicine, so Xiao Yi Xian being alone would inevitably get a little bored.

Su Yun reached out, wanting to check the Blue Eagle's injuries, only to see the Blue Eagle let out a long cry as its body shrank backward.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian reached out and gently stroked the Blue Eagle's trembling body. Her voice was soft as she comforted it.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Brother only wants to help treat your injuries. He won't hurt you."

Perhaps Xiao Yi Xian's words had an effect, as the Blue Eagle's body returned to calm.

Seeing this, Su Yun reached out again and examined the Blue Eagle's injuries.

Su Yun removed the bandages from its body, and a wound three feet deep appeared before him. The cut was smooth and even, likely caused by a sharp object such as a saber or sword.

It was probably injured by a Mercenary Group operating nearby.

Su Yun completely removed the bandages from the Blue Eagle's body, and Xiao Yi Xian helped at the side.

Previously, Xiao Yi Xian had only sprinkled some hemostatic medicine onto the Blue Eagle. If it wanted to recover, it could only rely on its own self-healing ability.

Su Yun took two jade bottles from his Ring of Holding. From one bottle, he poured out a pill and fed it to the Blue Eagle. He gave the other bottle to Xiao Yi Xian and had her sprinkle it onto the wound before bandaging it again.

Xiao Yi Xian busied herself for a while, and the Blue Eagle's body was once again wrapped full of bandages.

The two of them took two steps back. Under the effect of Su Yun's pill, the Blue Eagle recovered a little energy. It raised its eagle head toward the sky and let out a sharp cry, the sound high and resonant, no longer as weak as before.

Seeing the Blue Eagle regain its vitality, Xiao Yi Xian laughed happily.

Su Yun rubbed Xiao Yi Xian's little head.

The Blue Eagle flapped its wings, but it did not take off. Instead, it folded its wings, lowered its eagle head, and stretched it toward Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian.

A trace of surprise flashed across Xiao Yi Xian's face. She reached out and touched the eagle head.

A faint smile also hung on Su Yun's face as he reached out as well.

The Blue Eagle's action was like an ancient minister expressing loyalty to a king.

In other words, this Blue Eagle had submitted to them.

On the Douqi Continent, there was no such thing as a Magical Beast Contract. If one wanted to obtain a magical beast's loyalty, one could only capture it as a cub, then keep it by one's side for a long time to nurture feelings.

Su Yun stroked the Blue Eagle's azure wings, and a different thought stirred in his heart.

A trace of contemplation flashed through Su Yun's eyes. A moment later, he shook his head again and said to Xiao Yi Xian,

"Xian'er, give it a name."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded. Her small finger tapped her head, as though she were troubled.

After a while, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up.

"Let's call it Xiao Lan."

Fifth update!

Everyone is too amazing. We rushed straight to second place in one go.

Originally, it was two updates a day, plus the three updates I promised, for a total of five updates!

I absolutely won't go back on my word!
