Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 10 Bracelet

Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up, feeling that her brother Xiao Bai was even more domineering than before.

"This kid's got a bit of a quirk!"

Ling Ying's eyes twitched as he watched. He had seen many murders, and he wouldn't even blink if someone killed him outright, but this gentle approach was something he had never seen before.

Seeing the boy step on his other calf again, Galleno immediately stopped screaming and said in a choked voice:

"Xiao Bai...no, Master Xiao, please spare me! Just spare me, and I'll give you anything! Anything the Jia Lie family has, I can get for you!"

"Okay!" Xiao Bai nodded with a smile.

Galleno endured the pain, a surge of joy welling up inside him, but before he could even smile, he heard a familiar voice again.

"Snap!"

"what!"

Another scream rang out.

"You...you promised...you promised me, didn't you?"

Galeno gritted his teeth and spoke angrily, haltingly.

"That's right, I did promise you. I, Xiao Bai, am a man of my word, and I will naturally keep my promise!"

Nodding, as if sensing Galeno's confusion, Xiao Bai kindly explained to him in a soft voice:

"But what I want is your leg! How about that, aren't you touched? You don't even need to lift a finger, I'll get it myself!"

"I'm not moved at all, you fucking freak!"

His eyes were filled with hatred, but he was also filled with extreme regret, regretting that he had been so stupid as to provoke this madman.

When Xiao Bai looked at his arm again, Galeno panicked.

"Master Xiao, please... I beg you not to break my hand. From now on, I'll listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. If you tell me to catch a dog, I'll never chase a chicken. If you don't want to see me, I'll never appear in front of you again. Please, just let me go! Let me go! Waaah!"

As he spoke, Galeno burst into tears, and Xiao Bai shook his head.

"I'm satisfied with what you said, but I really don't like the look in your eyes. What do you suggest we do?"

"No, Mr. Xiao, you've misunderstood me. From now on, whatever look you want in my eyes, that's exactly what I'll do, without hesitation!"

Xiao Bai smiled with satisfaction and looked at Galeno with kindness.

"Good! Good boy! Remember what you said today, it could save your life!"

After saying that, Xiao Bai reached out his hand to Xun'er, who was not far away.

"Let's go home!"

Xiao Xun'er walked over with a bright smile and light steps, placing her delicate hand in Xiao Bai's, obediently letting him lead her.

As Xiao Bai passed by Wang Gongfeng, he glanced at him, causing Wang Gongfeng's expression to change drastically. After witnessing the scene just now, he now felt immense awe for this young man.

"Young Master Xiao, what are you doing?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not killing anyone. I'm just letting you know that after you take your young master back, remember to give my regards to the head of the Jia Lie family!"

Looking at the fifteen-year-old boy before him, Wang Gongfeng was speechless. "Are you trying to drive the clan leader crazy?" But he still nodded.

"I will certainly convey Young Master Xiao Bai's words!"

Xiao Bai nodded. As the crowd watched him approach, they immediately pushed aside to make way for the young man with a faint smile on his face, as if afraid that he would speak to them in a soft voice.

"Xun'er, look at the way they're looking at me. Don't they look like I'm a big bad guy?"

Looking at the reactions of the onlookers, Xiao Bai asked Xiao Xun'er.

"If Brother Xiao Bai is the big bad guy, then Xun'er will be the little bad guy, okay?"

Xun'er's eyebrows curved slightly, and she shook Xiao Bai's hand that was holding her in a slightly coquettish manner.

"You silly girl, you never learn anything good!"

Seeing her adorable appearance, Xiao Bai couldn't resist gently stroking her pert nose.

"Hmph! Brother Xiao Bai's is the best!"

Seeing Xiao Bai's affectionate actions, the girl wrinkled her nose, snorted, but a hint of shy joy flashed across her eyebrows.

They chatted and laughed all the way. Passersby noticed that one looked like a rich girl and the other was dressed in rags. The two were acting intimately and laughing. They couldn't help but wonder if rich girls these days were really so extravagant.

However, upon closer inspection, the raggedly dressed young man had a handsome face and a dignified air about him. The two ribbons of his headband fluttered down from his black hair, giving him a dashing demeanor. He couldn't help but nod in understanding. Yes, it was still the same world that judged people by their looks.

Xiao Bai saw a clean stall by the roadside displaying bracelets of various colors.

He walked up to the stall, glanced around, and a light green bracelet caught his eye.

I picked it up and took a look. The bracelet is made of ordinary material with some ice silver added. It feels cool to the touch and should be nice to wear in the summer. Although the material is a bit ordinary, the workmanship is good and it looks elegant and unique.

"How much is this bracelet?" Xiao Bai asked.

"Young master has excellent taste. Although this bracelet is made of ordinary material, it is infused with ice silver, making it most comfortable to wear in summer. It's only 200 gold coins."

The female boss said enthusiastically.

Although Xiao Bai felt a bit ripped off, he thought that this was a gift for Xun'er, so he didn't bother to haggle and took out 200 gold coins to hand to the shopkeeper.

Xiao Xun'er watched Xiao Bai quietly from the side, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Looking at the girl's expression, Xiao Bai said softly:

Give me your hand!

Xiao Xun'er obediently extended her right hand, and Xiao Bai placed the bracelet on the girl's snow-white wrist, examining her for a moment.

Hmm, not bad!

"The bracelet is a bit cheap. Brother Xiao Bai doesn't have much money right now, unlike you, a little rich girl. Don't look down on it!" Xiao Bai patted Xiao Xun'er's head.

Xiao Xun'er stared blankly at Xiao Bai, gently stroking his angular face, and shook her head.

"Brother Xiao Bai, it's not cheap at all. In Xun'er's eyes, nothing in the world is more precious than this bracelet. This is the first gift Brother Xiao Bai has ever given me!"

Xiao Xun'er gazed gently, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons as she looked at the bracelet in her hand with a smile as if it were some rare treasure.

Looking at the delighted Xun'er, Xiao Bai felt as if he had overlooked something in the past. Ever since this girl started calling him Brother Xiao Bai, he seemed to have taken her silent dedication for granted. She had never asked Xiao Bai for anything or complained about anything.

He had always thought he was good to her, but what did that so-called goodness amount to compared to what Xun'er had done for him?

How could a cheap bracelet make Xun'er so happy? It's all because of him.

She liked it so much only because it was a gift from him.

"Even if it's just an ordinary stone, if I gave it to her, this girl would be overjoyed!"

Xiao Bai felt a pang of pity and a touch of guilt.

Otherwise, given Xiao Xun'er's status as a noblewoman from an ancient clan, what precious things in this world wouldn't she have seen? She probably wouldn't even glance at a cheap bracelet normally, let alone be grinning like this now.

He seemed to have never cared about Xun'er's true feelings.

He'd been treating this girl like an NPC, trying to build up her favorability. No, it seems like ever since he came to this world, he'd been treating everyone like an NPC.

They overlooked the fact that they were all flesh-and-blood people with feelings.

This is not a game.
