Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 38 Senior Brothers and Sisters

"ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh, the friendship between girls is really hard for me to understand."

After waiting for a while, Little Fairy Doctor changed into the clothes she had come in, but the clothes had obviously been washed, and the fine dirt on them was completely gone. Compared to the original color, they now looked brighter.

However, only Little Fairy Doctor emerged.

"Where is Miss Xun'er?" Zhong Li asked.

"She's still picking out clothes."

"Picking up clothes?"

"Yes, Xun'er always struggles for a long time before going out, wondering which clothes to wear."

"...Alright, let's go first. Xiao Yan should still be with the clan leader right now."

"Mmm, okay! \(^o^)/~"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and took Zhong Li's arm, then followed him briskly forward.

...Only after Zhongli and Little Fairy Doctor gradually walked away did Xun'er slowly straighten up from her position of lying through the crack in the door.

Xiao Xun'er sat on the bed with a slightly pained expression, gently rubbing her lower back with her back hand. After all, hunching over for a long time was really uncomfortable.

"Phew... Zhongli, you really scared me."

Xiao Xun'er stood up, stretched, then walked to the mirror, carefully examined her well-fitting clothes, nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with her appearance.

Then, with a snap of fingers, a cloud of black mist appeared out of thin air in the room. The mist gradually solidified and eventually formed the shape of Ling Ying.

"Elder Ling, what were you doing when that happened?" Xiao Xun'er's voice was heavy, with a hint of cold killing intent, which instantly made Ling Ying break out in a cold sweat.

"No... I wonder if Miss has just encountered any danger? I was patrolling within the safe zone you mentioned when Zhongli suddenly appeared, forcing me to keep my distance again. After all, it was at this same distance last time that he knocked me unconscious. Could it be that Miss has been threatened by Zhongli?"

Ling Ying spoke in a trembling voice, her tone revealing a deep fear, as if a shiver was coming from the depths of her soul.

Although Xiao Xun'er's strength is currently below the Dou Ling level, while Ling Ying is already at the peak of the eight-star Dou Huang level, and there are only the two of them here, Ling Ying knows very well that if Xiao Xun'er wants to take his life, she has plenty of ways to do so.

However, Xiao Xun'er's tone became gentler and more natural at this moment: "Actually, it's nothing. Guest Elder Zhongli is a good person, so there's no need to pay too much attention to him in the future. Elder Ling, you should continue to protect Brother Xiao Yan from the shadows."

"∠(°ゝ°) Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

After saying that, Ling Ying once again turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Ling Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in her heart lingered.

If Zhongli did nothing, why was the young lady's tone so murderous just now?

But how could Ling Ying know that it was Xiao Xun'er who was truly relieved at this moment?

After all, if Ling Ying had seen what had just happened, there seemed to be no other way but to silence him in order to prevent him from reporting it to the clan and causing his own death.

Zhong Li's actions were not wrong in themselves, but what really made Xiao Xun'er want to kill him was her fear that Ling Ying would see the slightly girlish side of her just now.

After all, she really didn't want Ling Ying to see such a contrasting scene that would damage her image.

"Hoo..." Xiao Xun'er let out a long breath and murmured, "It's good that you didn't see it, it's good that you didn't see it."

……

Inside Xiao Zhan's house, Yao Chen, who usually kept his tracks hidden, was now floating peacefully in front of the father and son.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! As expected of my son, Xiao Zhan, you've truly made us proud!"

Xiao Zhan's face did not show any exaggerated expression, only his eyes shone with the joy and affirmation he felt for his son.

Just now, Xiao Yan had told Xiao Zhan about how he directly broke through to the three-star Dou Zhe level, but he didn't mention a word about the "Eternal Thunder Technique" and the "Burning Technique".

He only said that with the careful assistance of Master Zhongli and Master Yaochen, he was able to quickly advance from the fourth stage of Dou Qi to the three-star Dou Zhe realm.

This is not because Xiao Yan is stingy or petty; it is because he is well aware of the rules.

After all, on this continent, those two cultivation techniques were groundbreaking and unparalleled. Without Zhongli and Yaochen's permission, he would never dare to flaunt their wonders to others, even if that person was his own father.

Although Xiao Yan knew in his heart that even if he told his father about this, Zhongli and Yao Chen might not say anything, it would inevitably leave an impression of him as frivolous, arrogant, and boastful.

Zhongli, accompanied by Xiao Yixian, arrived nearby and saw that the door was wide open, presumably left specially for them by Xiao Yan.

Even though the homeowner had left the door open, Zhong Li still politely knocked a few times before slowly stepping inside.

"Oh my, both the guest elder and Miss Xian'er have arrived."

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing the knocking, Xiao Zhan quickly stepped forward to greet the two.

"Clan Chief Xiao, there's no need for such formalities. I've come simply to allow the fellow disciples to meet each other. This way, they can look after each other since they'll be spending every day together."

"I see." Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded slightly, then turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Yan'er, come here quickly and meet your junior sister."

Xiao Yan, who was talking quietly with Yao Chen, turned around abruptly and ran towards the three of them when he heard that his junior sister had arrived.

"Here you are."

As he approached, Xiao Yan's face clearly came into view and was then deeply engraved in his mind.

Although Xiao Yan had not seen many beautiful women, he had seen quite a few outstanding women. Xiao Mei, Xiao Ling'er, and his cousin Xiao Yu in his clan were all first-class beauties. However, their beauty was still slightly inferior to Xiao Xun'er's.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water; her beauty was beyond words.

Since his birth, Xiao Yan had never seen such a stunningly beautiful woman, except for Xiao Xun'er...

Seeing Xiao Yan standing there in a daze, Little Fairy Doctor looked up at Zhong Li with a hint of confusion: "Master, what's wrong with Senior Brother?"

At this moment, Zhongli showed a faint smile.

Yao Chen, standing behind Xiao Yan, was suppressing a laugh.

(*艸`*)

Looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but sigh softly, rubbing his forehead... The worried old father turned around and coughed heavily a few times in Xiao Yan's direction.

Only then did Xiao Yan snap out of his infatuation with Xiao Yi Xian's beauty.

However, this is understandable. Little Fairy Doctor is a natural beauty. In order to navigate the various forces in Green Mountain Town, if she did not learn to make herself ugly and dirty to hide her beauty, she would inevitably encounter those reckless people who only think with their lower bodies.

After arriving at the Xiao family, Little Fairy Doctor completely let go of her true self. Under Xiao Xun'er's guidance, she abandoned all pretense of beauty. Now, Little Fairy Doctor has bright, kind eyes and a graceful demeanor; this is her most authentic self.
