When Hai Bodong saw the young man carrying a heavy ruler enter the shop, he immediately sprang out.
"Fellow countryman, you're finally here!"
"I've missed you to death!"
Hai Bodong walked toward Xiao Yan, excitement written all over his face, and nearly startled Xiao Yan into throwing a punch at him.
What's going on?
Has Hai Bodong gone crazy?
Xiao Yan watched Hai Bodong approach, silently wondering.
His purpose in coming here was clear: the fragment map for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
Moreover, he had no intention of taking Hai Bodong on as his bodyguard, as in the original story.
With his current strength, having him around made no difference.
Besides, this world had become so abnormal that a mere Dou Emperor like Hai Bodong truly had no place in what was happening.
Thus, Xiao Yan's original plan had been to take the fragment map for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and leave, provided Hai Bodong knew what was good for him.
If he didn't and tried playing mind games, he couldn't blame Xiao Yan for being ruthless, killing him and taking his treasure.
But despite all his calculations, he had never expected the other man to call him a fellow countryman the moment he arrived.
Could Hai Bodong be an Otherworlder too?
With that thought in mind, Xiao Yan listened to the other man's inner voice.
His system had now reached LV4, allowing him to slip past Hai Bodong's system unnoticed and eavesdrop on his thoughts.
[To think that I, Hai Bodong, finally got the chance to transmigrate, yet even my longest life didn't last more than three days.]
[For the sake of my life, I have to cling tightly to Xiao Yan's thigh. Hopefully, his luck as destiny's chosen son will keep me from dying young!]
