Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 27 Scruples
Although Wutan City is said to have three overlords, it is actually divided into the light side and the dark side.

As the dominant force in the dark, the Oba family runs brothels, casinos, and other illicit businesses, engaging in some shady activities. Although their involvement is limited, their advantage lies in their dominance, leaving no one to compete with them.

The Jialie family and the Xiao family, who are the overlords in public, have always been in constant conflict. They regard each other as thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh, and desperately try to seize more resources from each other.

After listening for a short while, Hun Ruoruo gradually lost interest.

The content is basically the same. It is nothing more than using the rejuvenation powder of this first-grade alchemist to attract mercenaries, thereby suppressing the industrial chain around the Xiao family, in order to seek a monopoly.

The motive, of course, was Galleo's sudden and bizarre death.

After learning of his son's sudden and bizarre death, Jialebi was filled with grief and paranoia. Not only did he secretly kill all the guards who had accompanied him, he even took a grudge against Hun Ruoruo and the other two who were present at the time, targeting them for revenge.
Surprisingly, he actually guessed the real murderer.

"It's so unlucky. Just killing a small minion has caused so much trouble." Hun Ruoruo looked indifferent and felt very irritated.

After pondering for a moment, the girl was too lazy to stay any longer and simply got up and left.

A small family in Wutan City is naturally not worth Hun Ruoruo's concern.

What really annoyed her was the impact the incident had on Xiao Yan.

Although she seemed to have done her best to help Xiao Yan during this period, in fact, she was only doing a superficial job. Apart from helping him improve the effect of the foundation-building spirit liquid and teaching him a low-level soul fighting skill, there was basically nothing else she did.

Hun Ruoruo knew very well that with her resources and means, there were many ways to help Xiao Yan's strength soar to the sky, but she had no idea whether doing so would have an impact on the other party's subsequent experience.

This is a good test right now. Just one scroll of soul fighting skills has allowed the Jialie family to advance the time for eroding the Xiao family by nearly a year. If there are any other changes in the future...
She asked herself if she could guarantee that she could stabilize the situation every time.

"I have to help, but it's ridiculous to be concerned about the severity of the situation after helping."

Slowly exhaling a breath of foul air, the girl's eyes became a little gloomy, and she walked slowly through the streets of Wutan City.

Then, he walked straight out of the city.

The plain outside Wutan City is quite vast. There are not many people here on weekdays, but at night, many foreign mercenaries and travelers will set up camp here to rest for the night.

After crossing the plain, they reached the deepest part of the small forest and arrived at the small cottage where Hun Ruoruo had settled herself. Although the journey was long, it was secluded and safe, and there was no need to worry about the fluctuations in their cultivation being detected by the annoying flies of the ancient clan.

The bright summer sunshine did not seem so hot under the shade of the woods. A few tiny rays of light penetrated through the layers of green leaves, as if turning the soil under the girl into the base of a kaleidoscope.

A few bird calls were heard, and the branches and leaves made a rustling sound, perhaps due to the breeze or the collision of birds.

The scenery was beautiful, but she was in a hurry.

"Home, huh?"

Walking deep into the forest, Hun Ruoruo took off her disguise, frowned, and looked in the direction of the wooden house.

I saw a black-haired boy standing guard in front of the door, squatting and curled up in a ball.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and his expression was quite impatient. He kept yelling at the ring in his hand to relieve the boredom of waiting, and for a moment he looked very funny.

However, Hun Ruoruo was not in the mood to tease him at this moment.

"Xiao Yan, how did he know where I live?" Hun Ruoruo's face was a little unhappy, and she thought to herself that his arrival was quite a coincidence. She had been lost in thought before, so she hadn't used her soul power to sense Xiao Yan and hadn't noticed him immediately.

Xiao Yan, who was standing by, had obviously noticed Hun Ruoruo's arrival. He waved at her and then strode over.

"Ruoruo, you really live here."

Hun Ruoruo put away the gloom in her eyes and said calmly, "Third Young Master, I didn't expect you to be so leisurely and elegant that you could find such a remote place."

Xiao Yan noticed the other party's lukewarm attitude and felt a little confused for a moment.

He didn't think about it too much and just laughed it off. "Didn't you mention it once before? I can't contact you on weekdays, so I thought I'd try my luck."

"Mentioned it once?" Hun Ruoruo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xiao Yan scratched his head and said, "Yes, when we were training earlier, you said you were living in some deep mountain forest. It seems that this is the only forest outside Wutan City, so I decided to try my luck."

Hun Ruoruo made an imperceptible tut sound and said impatiently, "So, why did you come to see me? If you want to practice, we can talk about it later when we have time. I have something else to do today."

After saying that, he went back to his room without caring that Xiao Yan had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Hey, it's naturally not a matter of cultivation."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward to block her path, and then asked anxiously, "Do you still remember Galio who was killed earlier?"

"do not remember."

"Uh, that's the domineering young master who was hit by the soul-piercing attack and his soul was destroyed."

"Why would I remember a dead person? It's not a big deal."

"Ruoruo, that Galeo is indeed insignificant, but I spoke with my father earlier and noticed something unusual."

Xiao Yan paused, his expression serious. "Later, I went to the market to inquire around, and finally learned that the Jialie family had somehow managed to hire a first-grade alchemist to take charge, and they've started selling a new type of healing elixir. With our family's current resources, we can still hold on for a while, but if this continues, I'm afraid all of our Xiao family's customers will be snatched away by them!"

The appeal of an alchemist is far beyond that of ordinary professions. These days, after experiencing the miraculous effects of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, Xiao Yan has become extremely confident in his heart.

Therefore, relying solely on his current limited strength, it would be a pipe dream to help the Xiao family out of their predicament. There is no possibility at all.

If Xiao Yan wants to help the Xiao family escape this predicament, the only ones he can rely on are this extremely mysterious girl Ruoruo and his own teacher.

Hun Ruoruo didn't show any surprise at all, and said calmly: "I'm just a first-grade alchemist. Why don't you ask Senior Yao to help you make some medicine? I'm not an alchemist. I can only kill people."

"I do think so." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher said that after losing his body, his soul power is like rootless water. The speed of recovery is extremely slow. It is not appropriate to be bothered by such trivial matters."

"Oh?"

Hun Ruoruo raised her head, her eyes were cold, and a captivating purple light suddenly appeared. An extremely strange and cold wave came, making Xiao Yan suddenly feel a force like a thousand-pound boulder in his chest, suppressing him to the point of suffocation.

"So, you mean, I should be the one doing these tedious little things?"
