In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 172 Please shut up, thank you.

Xiao Ran quickly hugged Xiao Qing, lifted her up by the waist, and placed her on his bed.

Then he went out for a stroll.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King had spotted him and was stealthily backing away.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

After learning the whole story, Xiao Ran was speechless.

I really don't know what those Mo family members ate to grow up like that?

Why did they have to think of capturing the Amethyst Winged Lion King for transplantation?

If those people weren't already dead...

Xiao Ran was even prepared to call them out and ask, "Are you guys brain-dead?"

A bunch of lowlifes, a family with negligible strength, actually dared to think of capturing a sixth-tier magical beast comparable to a Dou Huang powerhouse?

Most importantly, he really wanted to transplant its claws onto his own family members.

Now things have gotten complicated, with the troops split into two groups.

As a result, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King went one way, and Xiao Yan went the other way.

And then, the cunning Xiao Yan completely wiped out their entire family's wealth.

The 1000 million gold coins in the storage ring Xiao Yan gave him earlier alone are enough to show just how much Xiao Yan gained during his trip to Yancheng.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a sixth-grade pill.

He called out to the Amethyst Winged Lion King and threw it directly at him.

"Lion King, I am very satisfied with what you did this time!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had been anxiously waiting for a beating, was overjoyed and hurriedly opened his mouth to catch the pill.

After swallowing it in one gulp, his eyes lit up, and he smacked his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

"Very good, human, I greatly appreciate your generosity! Please keep up the good work!"

Xiao Ran was taken aback.

"Lion King, are you itching for a beating?"

……

Three days later

Outside the gate of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li stood at the door, waving goodbye to Xiao Yan and Xiao Ran.

On this trip, Xiao Ran took Xiao Yan away first.

After obtaining the other half of the map from the angel investor, the two will separate and go their separate ways.

Xiao Ran returned directly to Wutan City, and from there headed to Canaan Academy.

As for Xiao Yan, he can go wherever he wants.

Anyway, this kid is still carrying tens of millions of yuan in debt. He's young, and it's the perfect time for him to work hard and strive for success.

On the way to Mocheng.

Xiao Ran nestled in the arms of the little maid Xiao Qing.

The two rode together on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, leisurely and carefree, having a great time.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was frantically vibrating his fighting technique wings.

The scorching sun made him so hot that he almost stuck his tongue out to sweat.

However, in order to obtain the other half of the map, Xiao Yan desperately followed with his wings.

This was all thanks to Xiao Ran taking care of Xiao Yan along the way, allowing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to stop and fly.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan would fall behind.

Because of Xiao Yan, this "burden," the journey that should have taken only a few hours took about a day.

We finally arrived outside the desert city.

Xiao Ran was with Xiao Qing, followed by the shrunken Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and Xiao Yan.

The group entered through the city gate of Mo City.

Mo City is still the same city, and the guards guarding it are still the same guards.

A guard saw Xiao Ran arrive,

It is clear that he has long remembered this mysterious young man vividly.

He hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward, bowing and scraping.

"Welcome back to Mocheng, my lord! Wang Mazi, the city's guard, is always ready to serve you!"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback, then chuckled.

With a single wave of his hand, he tossed several gold coins over.

Wang Mazi's eyes lit up, and he quickly caught the gold coin, bowing and scraping with a smile.

"My lord, if you have any orders, I will gladly die for you."

Xiao Ran nodded with a smile.

"Please shut up, thank you."

After saying something politely, he strode forward with his head held high and chest out.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Yan quickly followed.

Wang Mazi stood there awkwardly, chuckled twice, and scratched his head.

After Xiao Ran and the others had gone far away.

Several other soldiers came up and patted him on the shoulder.

They all praised him as they looked at the few gold coins in his hand.

"Good lad! Just by bowing and scraping, he can get so many gold coins?"

"Worth it! Absolutely worth it! That's half a year's salary for us!"

"Hey! Wang Mazi, you're treating tonight."

Wang Mazi was immediately filled with heroic spirit.

"Hahaha! I'll treat you! I absolutely have to. In Mocheng, anyone who doesn't go is a coward!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Brother Ma is so generous!"

"..."

……

Once inside the city,

Xiao Ran led Xiao Yan to the door of a map shop in the city called Gu Tu.

"Ran-ge, what are we doing here?"

"This place looks pretty dilapidated," Xiao Yan asked curiously.

Xiao Ran smiled faintly.

"You'll find out soon enough. You've forgotten what you need most."

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Wow! It's crippled..."

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw there were other people inside the store.

He quickly covered his mouth and didn't say anything.

Inside the shop, Xiao Ran noticed that angel investor Hai Bodong was still meticulously drawing maps behind the counter.

Inside the shop, there was a pretty young girl in a red dress.

He stood respectfully to the side, quietly watching Hai Bodong draw the map.

There were several servants inside the room, clearly the young girl was the main servant.

Xiao Ran's warmth followed her as she entered the room.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yan had been shouting and yelling earlier.

The pretty young girl turned to look at Xiao Ran and the others, and said unhappily.

"Please be quiet, gentlemen."

"Master Hai doesn't like to be disturbed when he's making maps!"

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the girl, then turned to look at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said nothing.

He went straight to the map shelf and casually picked up a roll of map.

It hurtled straight toward Hai Bodong behind the counter.

"Mr. Hai, have you forgotten our agreement? It's a bit unreasonable to expect you to act all high and mighty in front of me now, isn't it?"

"Should I leave?"

Hai Bodong, who was concentrating on drawing a map, waved his hand, and a chilling aura froze the map in mid-air.

It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The girl in red standing to the side covered her mouth in surprise, speechless.

Hai Bodong's usually plastered face with a warm smile, and when he looked at Xiao Ran, his scarred and menacing expression softened into a gentle smile.

"Hehe, who am I? It's my young friend Xiao Ran!"

"Young friend Xiao Ran, I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival!"

As Hai Bodong spoke, he stood up and cupped his hands in a smiling gesture towards Xiao Ran.

The pretty young girl standing to the side suddenly turned pale.

She had heard her father, the city lord, say that the ancient master in this map shop was no ordinary person and that she should take good care of him.

But unexpectedly, she put aside her airs as the city lord's daughter.

For two or three months, the other party completely ignored her.

Unexpectedly, this young man was someone that made Elder Hai stand up to greet him and treat him as an equal.

This shows that the other party is definitely not ordinary!

Thinking back on my previous actions, I couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

At that moment, Hai Bodong also saw the girl in red.

The smile that had been on his face gradually faded, because the scar on his face made him look somewhat frightening.

After a moment's thought, he said,

"Go back now, you don't need to come again."

"Also tell your father that such methods are far too low-level."

The girl's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Just then, Xiao Yan, who had been standing behind Xiao Ran, stepped forward.
