Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 211: My Brother and Sister-in-law Are Suffering
Several days had passed since the desert's extreme cold. The scorching fire element rolled up the sand and hit the fabric of the tent, making waves of rustling sounds like farmers sifting rice.

Most of the dust in the town has been isolated, but the wind and sand still blow in from time to time, making people who are still dazed unwilling to open their eyes, and their cheeks are also blown so hard that they hurt.

Walking aimlessly on the path built by the mercenary group, Hun Ruoruo's mood became even worse.

Of course, she wouldn't care about Xiao Yan's movements. As long as he didn't die, she wouldn't care even if he ran to the ends of the earth.

But since leaving the Soul Realm and beginning to experience a variety of emotions, Hun Ruoruo has more or less developed a slight sense of relaxation about her relationship with Xiao Yan.

Whether it was Nalan Yanran or Xiao Yixian, Hun Ruoruo believed that the other party would be more or less wary of her, but Xiao Yan and his teacher were not afraid at all. Instead, they always considered her. Hun Ruoruo really couldn't understand their thoughts.

But
She had to admit that this was a special emotion she had never experienced in the Soul World.

After being alone and depressed for a long time, it is indeed a very desirable thing to have someone to vent to.

It was like the puppy she raised in her childhood. Although it was clumsy and stupid, and would occasionally pounce on her and rub her with its dirty paws, it still made her feel very relaxed, and her mood also became less tired.

very relaxing.

Suddenly, after the wind and sand in the distance faded, a familiar tent appeared in the girl's sight, quietly interrupting her thoughts.

"This is."

Gently pulling open the tent curtain, Hun Ruoruo walked in. When she saw Xiao Ding, her eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly pretended to be shy and asked about Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

"Xiao Yanzi is not here?"

Hearing the girl's words, Xiao Ding raised his eyebrows, immediately put down the work in his hands, and stood up with some difficulty.

He glanced at Hun Ruoruo, whose hair was a little messy in front of him. Her delicate and flawless face seemed to have some small red spots blown by the wind and dust, making her look a bit weak, which made people feel pity for her.

"She can't even use her Dou Qi to resist the sandstorm. Could it be that this girl only has the cultivation of a fighter? Xiao Yanzi has completely stolen her heart. With the strength of a fighter, she dares to accompany him to cross this desert."

Thoughts flashed through his mind. Although Xiao Ding was confused, he just cleared his throat and said:

"I don't know where that kid is going, but Ruoruo, don't worry. With his strength, nothing will happen to him."

Xiao Ding's words made Hun Ruoruo lose interest a little.

"Isn't it clear?"

She pursed her lips slightly.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ding suddenly remembered something and quickly added,
"Although we don't know where that kid went, he and your second brother secretly took a large group of people away. They should be back soon."

Hearing this, Hun Ruoruo was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, big brother. Ruoruo probably already knows where he went. Since you are not feeling well, Ruoruo will not bother you any more."

"Hehe, it's just a minor injury."

Xiao Ding shook his head and smiled, "If Ruoruo feels bored, why not go to Xuelan's place and rest for a while."

"She was just like you when she first came to the desert. She had a hard time adapting. It's said that she started to feel better after she placed a lot of rare little items in her yard. Since you're both women, I'm sure it should be easier for you to get along with me than it is for me."

"A rare little item?"

When the troubled Hun Ruoruo heard this, her eyes suddenly froze.

"Yes, Xue Lan has always wanted to have a female friend to chat with, but our Motie Mercenary Group is full of rough men, so there's nothing we can do about it. If Ruoruo doesn't mind, I think we'll get along well."

After hesitating for a moment, Hun Ruoruo nodded gently.
"In that case, thank you for the reminder, big brother."

"It's okay. As soon as that guy comes back, I'll send him to find you. Don't worry."

As Xiao Ding spoke, he briefly told Xue Lan the address where she lived, then comforted Hun Ruoruo with a few words before sending her out of the tent.

Looking at the girl's gradually receding figure, Xiao Ding supported his aching waist and sighed with a smile.
"This girl Ruoruo, I didn't realize it before, is actually so obsessed with that boy. I don't know what kind of magic potion Xiao Yanzi has fed her."

"Well, speaking of obsession, that little girl from Wutan City was also very attached to him back then. I thought it was just Xiao Yanzi who was not very smart, but now it seems that it was because she hadn't met someone she liked."

Xiao Ding walked slowly, constantly pondering, and finally he sighed deeply.

"However, that little girl Xun'er always treats everyone as if they are strangers, and her temper is very strange. If she knew about this, she would probably cause trouble again, which would make it hard for my sister-in-law."

Recalling the tenderness and virtuousness that the girl had revealed in her words and deeds, Xiao Ding could not help but smack his lips and turned back to the tent. He couldn't let others mess up such a good daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
After walking out of the tent, the girl's figure gradually disappeared in the wind and sand, and no trace of her could be seen anymore.

Compared to the past, Hun Ruoruo now seemed to be more confused, wandering as if she had lost her goal. Even when there was no one around, her exquisitely carved jade face did not regain its playful and lively look, as if her previous weakness was not a pretense.

"Xiao Ding, I didn't show any unusual emotions when I was communicating with him, but why did I harbor evil thoughts towards Yao Lao when we were alone earlier?"

Hun Ruoruo actually didn't realize that her unintentional action was an act of concern and obsession with Xiao Yan in Xiao Ding's eyes.

However, even if she knew this, given her personality, she probably wouldn't bother to explain further.

After all, this identity was deliberately created by Hun Ruoruo for convenience. How could she be so embarrassed and her heart beat fast because of a mere misunderstanding?
That's too unbearable.

What really concerned and disturbed her was her previous emotional abnormalities.

"Is it because my perception has become sharper after reaching Dou Huang? That's why the evil thoughts only affected me briefly when I devoured souls? I should be fine now. I just need to divert my attention."

After many internal examinations of the soul and finding nothing unusual, Hun Ruoruo had no choice but to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and said this to comfort herself.

Go check out Xue Lan?
With this thought in mind, Hun Ruoruo hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the courtyard where Xue Lan lived according to the location given by Xiao Ding.

Anyway, this desert poses no threat to her. Even if the elder of the snake tribe comes in person, Hun Ruoruo is confident that he can be captured and killed in a one-on-one fight, not to mention a small Stone Desert City. There is no one there who can catch her eye.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and with a creaky sound, the wooden door was pushed open by the hot and cheerful woman.

"Miss Ruoruo?"

Looking at the girl in front of her with slightly messy hair, Xue Lan was stunned for a moment. Coincidentally, she thought of the same thing as Xiao Ding before, and immediately smiled with understanding.

"Miss Ruoruo, did you find me because you can't adapt to the desert environment?"

Hearing this, Hun Ruoruo opened her mouth slightly in surprise, as if she didn't expect that the other party could guess her thoughts.

She hesitated for a moment, then said a little embarrassedly:

"How did Sister Xuelan know this? Ruoruo just told Big Brother about this. If she hadn't known that Sister had been staying in the room, she would have thought you had psychic abilities!"

Looking at the girl's shy and innocent appearance, Xue Lan liked her from the bottom of her heart and immediately winked at her mischievously.

"Silly girl, your expression is written all over your face. Come on, come on, it's really dusty today. Even those rough guys have stopped training. You have delicate skin, don't let the dust get on your face."

After saying that, before Hun Ruoruo could say anything more, the enthusiastic desert woman welcomed her into the yard without any explanation.

Xue Lan's courtyard was obviously smaller than the one Xiao Ding prepared for Hun Ruoruo, but it was decorated quite beautifully.

The exotic style of the house is in perfect harmony with the various ornaments of the Gama Empire. It can be seen that it has been designed with great care and is full of life.

"The captain should have said it before. Don't look at me like this. When I first arrived in the desert, I behaved much more shamefully than you did. I was so embarrassed by the sandstorm that I kept choking on my nose and secretly wiped my tears at night."

Xue Lan casually spilled out her embarrassing stories, and her words showed no shyness at all, instead there was a kind of playful and nostalgic feeling in them.

"With Sister Xuelan's personality, how could such a thing happen? This really surprised Ruoruo."

Hun Ruoruo didn't listen carefully to what she said at all. She kept looking around the environment in the yard and spoke perfunctorily.

"If you stay in an unfamiliar environment for a long time, you will naturally become completely different from your original self. The environment will also determine your personality to a certain extent."

Xue Lan blinked and asked mysteriously, "Do you want to know how I solved it back then?"

After hearing Xue Lan's words, Hun Ruoruo, who was originally uneasy, became interested and asked curiously, "Sister Xue Lan, please speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ring in Xue Lan's hand flashed slightly, and she took out a bold outfit with a very desert style. As it swayed slightly, there was even a crisp sound of bells, which almost instantly attracted Hun Ruoruo's attention.

"If we want to fit in here, for girls like us, we naturally have to start with dressing well. If we look out of place, we will naturally appear restrained and awkward. How about it, Sister Ruoruo, do you want to give it a try?"

Hun Ruoruo looked at Xue Lan's smiling expression, and couldn't help but glance at the scar on her arm. Then she sighed in her heart and smiled self-deprecatingly.

I thought this person had some good way to divert attention, but it turned out that I was just desperate and trying all kinds of methods.

What is this called?
Change clothes, change mood?
It's useless.
