Chapter 104 Rescuing People at the Right Moment
"I'm back!"
Xiao Bai looked at the pretty girl with a gentle expression and said softly.
Xun'er looked at the figure she had longed for day and night, a gentle smile appearing on her delicate face, and slowly walked over.
"Brother Xiao Bai!"
With a soft cry, she rushed into Xiao Bai's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, holding him tightly and greedily inhaling his familiar and comforting scent.
Xiao Bai gently embraced her slender waist, inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from her body, feeling an extraordinary warmth in his heart.
"My Xun'er, you've grown up!" Feeling the girl in his arms grow a little taller, Xiao Bai murmured with a touch of emotion.
Upon hearing this, Xun'er gently lifted her head from his embrace, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness, and reached out a small hand to gently stroke his more composed and dignified face.
"My brother Xiao Bai has matured even more!"
Xiao Bai looked at her quietly without saying a word. Holding Xun'er in his arms, he felt an unprecedented peace in his heart.
After a long pause, Xiao Bai gently released Xun'er, turned to look at Xiao Yan, sized him up for a moment, and nodded, saying:
"Nine-stage Dou Qi, not bad!"
In less than a month, it will be the Xiao family's annual test. In the original story, Xiao Yan was only at the seventh level of Dou Qi at this time, but now he has reached two levels higher.
It seems that the Foundation Building Elixir he refined was very suitable for Xiao Yan's condition, as the thunder power and wood energy in it allowed him to recover quickly.
"Hehe, Brother Bai, if you had come a few days later, I would have been a Dou Zhe!" Xiao Yan brushed a strand of hair from his forehead, looking smug and boastful.
"Oh? Well, that just so happens that Elder Yao and I have some things to attend to, which will take a month or two. Shall we leave now and come back after you've finished your battle?" Xiao Bai said with a teasing smile.
He refined the Foundation Building Elixir. Although he didn't know its effects, he didn't know how long it would last.
"No! Brother Bai, you've finally come back, how can you not go home? Let's go back and sit down first, let's sit down first!" Xiao Yan grabbed Xiao Bai and hurriedly said with a fawning smile.
Although he knew Xiao Bai was joking, he was actually a little afraid that Xiao Bai would leave suddenly, which would leave him helpless for the next month or two!
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once you experience the joy of using medicine, who would want to go through the arduous process of self-cultivation?
"Hehe." Xiao Bai chuckled and shook his head. This guy's skin is getting thicker and thicker. Then his eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at the middle-aged man and the young man on the side.
"Xiao Yanzi, tell me! What happened?"
Xiao Yan recounted everything that had happened to Xiao Bai in detail.
"The Jia Lie family?" Xiao Bai looked at the two of them, his gaze indifferent, and gave a wry smile.
He turned and extended his hand to Xun'er, saying gently, "Let's go home!"
"Mmm!" Xun'er took Xiao Bai's hand, interlocked their fingers, and nodded with a radiant smile.
Xiao Bai looked at Xun'er with a doting expression, letting her do as she pleased. Only after she nodded did he pull her towards Wutan City.
"Old Hai, Little Yanzi, let's go!"
"Brother Bai! Brother Bai! What's going on?" Xiao Yan hurriedly chased after him, a little puzzled. He couldn't understand Xiao Bai's actions. Were these two just going to ignore it?
"I'm in a good mood today!" Xiao Bai said without turning his head.
He hadn't expected Xun'er to come and wait for him outside the city, which put him in a good mood. He didn't want to kill someone in front of Xun'er at this time.
After the group had walked a few hundred meters, a thunderous sound came from behind them.
Xiao Yan quickly turned around and saw that the carriage was already broken into pieces, with wisps of fire burning on the fragments. There was no one around, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
"Xiao Yanzi, hurry up! Didn't you hear the thunder? It's going to rain!" A urging voice came from ahead.
Xiao Yan looked up at the sky; the sun was blazing overhead, and there was no sign of rain whatsoever. He was speechless, unsure of how to even begin to complain!
This guy, Bai Ge, is getting weirder and weirder!
He's almost tired of playing with fire; he wants to play with lightning!
This is simply the perfect tool for showing off!
Xun'er doubted her eyes and couldn't help but rub her eyes with her bare hand, her gaze constantly drifting towards Xiao Bai's sleeve.
Just now, a golden light flashed by and slipped into Brother Xiao Bai's sleeve.
But he ignored it. If a soul in the late stage of the mortal realm had something, it would be impossible for him not to notice!
Was she really seeing things?
Seeing her adorable expression, Xiao Bai's eyes filled with laughter. He flicked his sleeve, and a golden light appeared at the cuff.
"Hello, my lady!" The little golden dragon stretched out its tiny claws and shook them at Xun'er.
"Brother Xiao Bai, what... what is this?" Xun'er's mouth opened slightly, a little surprised. She hadn't expected that it wasn't an illusion, but that there really was something there.
"We'll talk about it when we get back!" Xiao Bai gently squeezed her small hand, winked, and smiled.
Xun'er looked around and realized that she was about to enter the city gate. There were people coming and going, and she immediately understood!
"Brother Bai, you didn't do that on purpose, did you?" Xiao Yan caught up and said, a little annoyed.
"What do you mean, intentionally?" Xiao Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You saved me at the last second!" Xiao Yan said, somewhat heartbroken. "Brother Bai, if you save me at the last second like this again, what if something goes wrong? You'll lose me, do you know that?"
Xiao Yan just remembered that when he looked at his cousin Xun'er's expression earlier, she clearly knew that Brother Bai had arrived, but she only showed up when he was in danger, which made him feel that something was wrong.
Looking back on the whole process, Xiao Yan had some doubts: Could this guy have done it on purpose?
Xiao Bai's eye twitched slightly. He thought this kid was going to say something else, but he didn't expect him to say this.
Damn it, how could Xiao Yan criticize me for saving people at the last minute? What's wrong with this world?
Xiao Bai was too lazy to pay attention to this kid. When it comes to timing rescues, who can compare to him!
They chatted and laughed all the way to the gate of the Xiao family's residence.
"Xiao Yan, this is Elder Hai. Go and arrange a small courtyard for him to stay in. You can ask your teacher about Elder Hai's affairs!"
Xiao Bai took off the ring and handed it to Xiao Yan, then said to Hai Bodong, "His name is Xiao Yan, and he's Yao Lao's disciple!"
After exchanging greetings, Xiao Yan left with Elder Hai.
Xiao Bai didn't move, standing there, staring blankly at the familiar Xiao family gate.
"Brother Xiao Bai, what's wrong?" Xun'er asked, shaking Xiao Bai's hand when she saw him looking a little dazed.
She sensed that Xiao Bai's gaze was somewhat complicated, but she didn't know why.
Xiao Bai snapped out of his reverie, patted Xun'er's head, and smiled, "It's nothing, I just want to have a home of my own!"
He had just realized that if Xiao Yan hadn't been there, he would have needed to greet the person before entertaining them, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He doesn't like being restricted, nor does he like this feeling.
He wanted a place where he could be in charge, or rather, a place of power.
Xun'er was taken aback, but then, remembering Xiao Bai's identity and what had just happened, she immediately understood.
"Brother Xiao Bai! You will have a home of your own!" Xun'er looked at him with a touch of heartache and said softly.
