Zero Soul Master

Chapter 18 Xiao's Bazaar
"Where are you going?"

Although the girl asked for it on her own initiative, she looked at Xiao Bailian like a bird out of the cage, looking here, wandering there, endlessly, the girl finally couldn't bear it anymore.

In fact, the most important thing about her is that she can't bear the gazes around her, maybe she didn't realize it herself, although according to Xiao Bailian's strong request, she is not wearing the silver knight armor with blinding dog eyes at the moment, but put on a set of The kind of clothes that are more common for women in Phantom Soul Continent today.

But even though she wasn't wearing the relatively peculiar knight armor, the girl's peerless appearance still attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone has a love of beauty, so there is no crime, right?

Of course, if anyone has the guts to rush over to do something that the masses like to see, then what awaits him is definitely a sharp long sword in the hands of a certain girl.

The girl, who was so uncomfortable being stared at by those eyes along the way, almost wanted to draw her sword several times.But without waiting for Xiao Bailian to stop her, she directly stopped herself because of her disdain for hurting unarmed civilians.

Just like that, one side was extremely uncomfortable, enduring those eyes full of surprise, greed, admiration and other emotions looking at her.On the one hand, there is the firm belief in her heart that has not changed in her life, which made the girl almost go crazy in just half an hour.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she took the initiative to speak, with a hint of resentment in her tone.How could she have suffered such a thing if it wasn't someone wandering around?

Thinking of this, the girl wished to chop off the person in front of her who seemed to be more interested in shopping than women, with a sword.

Seeing the girl's eyes, Xiao Bailian shrank his neck directly.

In fact, it's not that he was born with a woman's hobby of shopping, but that he has been suffering too much lately.

When he was on earth, he was not a quiet person.Even if you stay at home, at least there are computer networks and other ways to relieve boredom.

Since crossing over to this world, he has almost stayed at Xiao's house for the past month and never came out.At the beginning, he was a little interested in this new world, but as time passed, the Xiao family was so big that he had long been bored.

Next, because of the stubborn character of a certain girl, life is worse than death every day.After such a month, the fact that he didn't go crazy is a proof of his strong endurance.

"Is there any time traveler as hard as I am? It's been a month since I traveled, and my understanding of this world is only limited to the small Xiao family mansion."

Want to cry but have no tears!Xiao Bailian is also a very curious young man, who has long been interested in this world.Now I finally found time to run out, of course, I have a strong interest in anyone who sees it, or in the building.

But looking at the murderous gaze of the girl behind him, Xiao Bailian felt that compared to his own curiosity, his own life was indeed more important.

"Well, I haven't come out for a while, and I'm a little excited. Now go to the Xiao's market."

Wiping the cold sweat off his brow, he had a thorough understanding of the straightforward character of a certain girl.To put it bluntly, that is, once a girl wants to fight, she won't ink any ink with you at all, she will slash with her sword!
"Hurry up! If you run around again, I'll knock you out and go back."

The girl's tone was cold, but Xiao Bailian was quite surprised by this embarrassed expression.

"I thought she was naturally cold, but it doesn't look like that. What is the reason why such a young girl becomes like this?"

Although the girl has always claimed to be a king, she must have the image of a king.But Xiao Bailian never took her statement to heart. The ancient viewpoint deep in his heart made him subconsciously not believe that there would be a female king appearing.

Of course, a certain Wu Yujie who had a hand in the three generations of Li and Tang Dynasty's ancestors and grandchildren was not included in this list.

In my mind, a picture appeared again.On a hill, countless broken weapons were stuck upside down on the ground. Among the countless corpses, a girl half-kneeled on the ground with a face of despair and sadness. The golden long sword that was not stained with blood was directly inserted into the ground by her. ground.

In order not to let the girl continue to be stimulated and run away, Xiao Bailian looked at the direction, and according to the memories of the second young master of the Xiao family in his mind, he walked towards a market run by the Xiao family in Xiamu City.

Speaking of which, the three major families in Natsume City, the slave trade of the Arites family, and the casino and brothel of the Faller family are all profit-making industries.However, the Xiao family, which has always been in conflict with the other two, is in terms of making money. I don’t know whether it is disdainful or not good at this kind of thing. Although they also run some shops and even large markets, but from the effect See, the result is very microscopic.

Only maintaining a slight profit, compared with the other two, it is not the same at all.

Among them, a large market run by the Xiao family is the biggest source of financial income for the Xiao family.

There are many quotas in the entire Natsume City Market, but the biggest one is controlled by the Xiao family.It's a pity that the Xiao family's people are not good at management, so that such a good place that can definitely make a lot of money, business is now sluggish.

"It's here, it's here."

The two passed through several streets, and after turning several corners, they finally came to a building with a rather large area.

This is the largest market in Xiamu City, but there are no people coming and going here. People come in and out in twos and threes, and the whole market is lifeless.

As far as I can remember, it used to be a very lively place.In the past, at least 3 people entered and exited here every day!This place also used to make a lot of money every day, and once became the most prosperous trading place in the entire Natsume City.

But I don't know when it started, it became so depressed here, and there was even a tendency to close down.

"It has become so defeated."

Those memories were left by the former second young master of the Xiao family. Of course, the second generation ancestor who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun would not care about this, but it was subconsciously preserved in the memory after seeing it many times when he was a child.

Now being dug out by Xiao Bailian, for some reason, after seeing the depressed market in front of him, he seemed to smell some kind of conspiracy.

The bazaar changed from being prosperous to what it is now, precisely from the time when the Xiao family fell.It was okay at the beginning, especially three years ago, it plummeted.

"Three years ago? Wasn't that the year when my cheap brother, the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Li disappeared?"

Is it all by chance?Or is it inevitable?

From the 17th generation onwards, the Xiao family suddenly became underpopulated, and the patriarch of the [-]th generation, Xiao Bailian's grandfather died young.Later, in Xiao Guofeng's generation, the descendants were even less prosperous, and finally gave birth to a genius son, but disappeared three years ago.The only remaining son is an ignorant second-generation ancestor who is proficient in eating, drinking, playing, whoring and gambling, and is just an idiot.

Even if a family has gone through so many years, no matter how corrupt it is, it will not fall so quickly, right?
"Hmph! If there are no human factors involved, I will write my young master's name upside down!"

Combining the plots in countless TV dramas and novels on the earth, he is [-]% sure that although the decline of the Xiao family has a certain natural development, there must be some people intervening behind the scenes and doing certain actions!

It's just that he still doesn't know much about the Xiao family and this continent.Secondly, even if he knew some of the inside stories, he would not have the strength to change and save the Xiao family.

"Let those people be complacent for a while longer. After this young master has established a foothold in this world and can easily control the summoned creatures, it's time for you to pay the price!"

These thoughts flashed, just for a moment.In the eyes of the girl behind him, he just stood at the gate of the market, slightly dazed.

Entering the market, you can see that the whole market is very huge, and there are some shops everywhere.Generally speaking, the markets on Phantom Soul Continent are similar to department stores on Earth, except that they are larger in scale, but their management seems to be less effective than on Earth.

At least, from his point of view, the entire bazaar appears chaotic, not to mention the division of categories, and even the arrangement of shops and shops is arbitrary, some places are crowded, while others are empty.

"There are so few people."

Along the way, I didn't see many people.Many shops are in sluggish business, and many have even closed their doors.

Not far away, several figures hurried over, the leader being a middle-aged fat man.At the moment, he was sweating profusely, and his head was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, and approached cautiously.

"Second young master, why are you here?"

According to the memory in his mind, the fat man in front of him is the person in charge of the market, named Adam.

"Adam, what do you mean? Can't I come?" He looked up and down at the fat man in front of him, called Adam?Can this size and tonnage be called Adam?Then Eve is a dinosaur!

Of course, this kind of suggestion can only be thought about in his heart, on the surface he showed the arrogant and domineering appearance of a child of a family.This kind of behavior directly shocked the girl behind, and Wei Wei glanced at it with a strange gaze.

"No, no, second young master, what are you talking about? If you can come, I will be too happy!"

There was more sweat on Adam's face, and he didn't know whether it was because of the heat or fright, or because he was born fat with well-developed sweat glands.

"By the way, what is it? It makes you unable to decide?"

This time, it was because Adam found someone to send a message to Xiao's house this time, saying that he had encountered a major event and he couldn't make the decision, so he wanted Xiao's side to come over and make a decision.

"Second young master, I don't know where the Patriarch is now?"

Adam stretched his neck and took a look, except for an unusually beautiful girl behind Xiao Bailian, he saw no other figures, and frowned slightly.
