Demon King Duo

"Hmph, you really are a penniless pauper. An elder, my Elder! You have nothing, how are you going to take care of me?"

Seeing that Xiao Lin was still giving up, Zi Yan, half acting and half expressing her true feelings, asked a soul-searching question.

To be honest, Zi Yan's question did make some sense.

Normally, the growth period of the Ancient Void Dragon is very long.

Xiao Lin had promised First Elder Su Qian that he would help Zi Yan improve her strength by one realm during the time he was taking care of her.

If Xiao Lin really has nothing, who knows how long this will drag on!

Who says I can't take care of you just because I have nothing?

Seeing Zi Yan's cheeks puffed out again, Xiao Lin couldn't help but tease her.

However, as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Zi Yan revealed a shocked expression.

"You, you, you're not going to just starve me like this, are you? Let me tell you, I have a big appetite. If you starve me, I'm going to tell Old Man Su!"

As if she had thought of something terrible, Zi Yan angrily began pointing her finger at Xiao Lin.

Seeing the little girl Zi Yan's expression, as if he was about to abuse her, Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Is he that kind of person?

"Since I promised the First Elder I would take good care of you, I naturally won't let you go hungry. However, I really don't have any Medicinal Pill or medicinal herbs on me to give you. But..."

At this point, Xiao Lin deliberately paused.

Sure enough, Zi Yan immediately became anxious.

"But what?"

Although Zi Yan has lived for countless years, her appearance actually reflects her mental age.

For the Ancient Void Dragon, even after living the entire lifespan of Ordinary, it might only grow to the size of a human child around ten years old.

Zi Yan is a good example of this.

His father Zhukun, was trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave for more than a thousand years!

Even if Zi Yan was still an egg when Zhukun took Zi Yan in, she couldn't have just hatched recently.

Considering Zi Yan's current cultivation level, Xiao Lin guessed that Zi Yan must have been hatched at least several decades ago.

Even so, in the grand scheme of her life, she was only about eight or nine years old in human terms.

Her current appearance speaks volumes about this.

Therefore, given that she only has the mental age of an eight or nine-year-old human, Zi Yan's temperament is naturally not very mature.

Compared to Xiao Lin, she's still very inexperienced!

In just a few words, Xiao Lin had already got Zi Yan under his thumb.

Xiao Lin's feigned indifference was a ploy to lure Zi Yan into a trap!

"Although I don't have those Medicinal Pills or precious medicinal herbs you mentioned, others do!"

Xiao Lin's lips curled into a meaningful smile as he spoke.

However, Zi Yan, with her clever little brain, clearly didn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Xiao Lin's words.

"I know others have good stuff, like that Old Man Huo. He has a lot of good stuff hidden away! But that guy is very stingy. Every time he sees me, he treats me like I'm a thief!"

That meant I could only sneakily snatch some Ordinary medicinal herbs and Medicinal Pill from him each time!

Zi Yan's words were truly unreasonable, yet she was incredibly arrogant!

This made Xiao Lin, who was standing to the side, feel extremely embarrassed.

"With your enormous appetite, if you were allowed to eat as much as you wanted, you'd probably bankrupt an Alchemist!"

Xiao Lin didn't say this aloud, but secretly thought it to himself.

If this were said directly, Zi Yan would probably explode with anger on the spot!

"But what does it matter to you if other people have it?"

After criticizing the Huo Dian, Zi Yan looked at Xiao Lin with a puzzled expression and asked him a question.

"Ahem, well, Zi Yan, let me ask you, aren't those Elders who hoard Medicinal Pill and medicinal herbs and don't give them to you particularly unreasonable?"

Xiao Lin patiently guided him.

"Of course!"

Zi Yan answered quite affirmatively.

In Zi Yan's eyes, those Elders were indeed good people, but there was one thing she couldn't accept!

They always hide away the delicious Medicinal Pill and medicinal herbs they have, preventing her from eating them.

This made her very angry!

Therefore, whenever an Elder took care of her, she would steal their medicinal herbs and Medicinal Pill.

Firstly, because her growth indeed required the energy provided by various Medicinal Pill and medicinal herbs; secondly, she simply wanted to take revenge on these Elders.

Trying to hide something from her?

That's impossible!

Zi Yan has great confidence in her talent and abilities!

"In that case, Zi Yan, let me help you. Let's join forces and steal all the medicinal herbs and Medicinal Pill treasured by the Elder. What do you say?"

Seeing that Zi Yan had fallen for the trap, Xiao Lin gave a serious piece of advice.

"Ah?"

As Xiao Lin finished speaking, Zi Yan looked completely bewildered!

She truly never imagined that one day she would meet such a special Elder!

Not only did the other party not give him any Medicinal Pill or medicinal herbs, but they also wanted to join forces with him to steal them from the other Elder?

Thinking about it carefully, it's just so... to my liking!

Why did she only meet Elder Lin today?

If they had met earlier, could they have become close friends?

Of course, it's not too late to get to know each other now!

At this moment, Zi Yan, who had been looking at Xiao Lin with disdain, suddenly had a sparkling gaze in Xiao Lin eyes.

This Elder Lin is quite capable!

"Is this really okay? Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate? If Old Man Su finds out, won't he punish both of us?"

Although Zi Yan said it in a timid way, her expression clearly showed that she was eager to try!

She had never encountered this kind of work before!

Originally, she thought that all the Elder of the Jia Nan Academy were old-fashioned and rigid, just like Su Qian.

Unexpectedly, Elder Lin in front of me is such a "reasonable" person.

She loved it so much!

"You don't need to worry about that at all! As long as you don't tell and I don't tell, and we carry out our operation quietly, no one will know, right?"

Besides, I have nothing here. Don't you miss the taste of Medicinal Pill and medicinal herbs?

At this moment, Xiao Lin seemed to have transformed into a demon who lured children, leading Zi Yan, a rebellious brat, further into "depravity".

"Alright, it's decided then! Old Man Lin, when shall we set off?"

Zi Yan, who had been itching to get started, now wore her eagerness on her face.

"Then, now?"

Xiao Lin tentatively asked in return.

Although Xiao Lin didn't particularly like being called "Old Man Lin," now wasn't the time to dwell on it.

"Good!"

And it was from this moment that the Demon King Duo of the Jia Nan Academy were born!
