Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

At this moment, Xiao Yao and Xun'er walked onto the bustling street. They saw crowds of people all around them, shoulder to shoulder. They were swept along by the crowd and unknowingly arrived at the most lively market in the crowd.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Xun'er excitedly pulled Xiao Yao, running around in front of various stalls. The girl's light and melodious voice sounded particularly fresh and refined on the street, like a willow branch swaying gracefully in the spring breeze.

She would sometimes stop, sometimes run, and sometimes turn back to wave to Xiao Yao, her face beaming with a carefree smile, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing for the unknown world.

After leaving the Xiao family, Xiao Yao noticed that Xun'er had become even more lively. He followed behind her, smiling as he watched her cheerful and adorable demeanor, and quickly caught up with her.

They moved through the crowd, with vendors enthusiastically promoting their goods to them from time to time. The various shouts and bargaining sounds mingled together, forming a unique symphony.

He noticed that Xun'er's gaze was always unconsciously drawn to those colorful and uniquely shaped trinkets. She would carefully pick up each little item, examine it closely, and then put it back.

"Xun'er, do you like these little trinkets?"

"I don't really like it, I just think the design is nice."

After Xun'er finished speaking, she pulled Xiao Yao and walked towards other shops.

Xun'er stopped in front of a quaint clothing store, her eyes sparkling with delight as she looked at the gorgeous clothes hanging at the entrance.

She turned to look at Xiao Yao and said softly, "The clothes in this shop look nice, let's go in and take a look."

Xiao Yao looked at Xun'er, who was excited, and nodded with doting eyes. The two then went into the shop.

The store is decorated in an elegant and cozy style, with a dazzling array of exquisite clothes on display.

Xun'er changed into a light white long dress, the dress was light and flowing, and she looked as beautiful and charming as a fairy.

She twirled a few times, her skirt fluttering, as pure and flawless as a blooming white lotus.

Xiao Yao looked at her, his eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

"This dress is so beautiful. Xun'er looks like a fairy in it," Xiao Yao praised.

Xun'er lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Xiao Yao."

The two selected a few more clothes and then left the shop. They continued strolling through the market, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

Just as Xun'er was tired of playing, Xiao Yao led her through the wide streets, making a few turns, and finally entered a medium-sized market town located in the southern part of the city. This type of market town was under the control of the Xiao family.

As they entered through the market gate, there were two guards from the Xiao family at the entrance. They clearly recognized Xiao Yao and his companion, and upon seeing their arrival, they were both taken aback before bowing slightly.

Xiao Yao nodded in response, then led Xun'er inside. Looking at the endless stream of people and the bustling scene, he could only say that it truly lived up to its reputation as a medium-sized market town.

"Young Master, Miss Xun'er, are you here at the market to buy something?" Just as the two were getting a little dizzy from the crowd, a respectful voice came from behind them.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Yao turned his head and saw seven or eight burly men dressed in the Xiao family's uniform standing behind him. The speaker was a man in his thirties who was leading the group.

Seeing Xiao Yao's questioning gaze, the man smiled innocently and said respectfully, "Third Young Master, my name is Payne. I am the captain of the guard personally appointed by the clan leader, and I am in charge of protecting the safety of the market."

"Uncle Payne, we're just browsing around here to see if there's anything we need to buy. If anything comes up, I'll call you, so you can go about your business and don't worry about us," Xiao Yao said with a smile.

The respectful address of "Uncle" made Payne's smile deepen and become more enthusiastic. He scratched his head, nodded, and said with a smile, "Then please feel free to wander around, Third Young Master. We have people all over the market. If you need anything, just give us a call."

Xiao Yao nodded politely, took Xun'er's hand, and disappeared into the crowd...

"Pari, take two men and follow the Third Young Master. Warn those 'golden fingers' in the market that anyone who dares to set their sights on Young Master Xiao Yao and Miss Xun'er will be fired." Payne turned back and shouted as he watched the boy and girl disappear, his face instantly turning serious.

"Yes, Captain!" A burly man nodded in a deep voice, waved his hand, and led two other men into the crowd.

"Young Master Xiao Yao, you are still as gentle as ever, never changing because of your status or identity, and always so respectful to others." Payne smiled and continued patrolling the streets with his men.

......

As time passed, Xun'er and Xiao Yao arrived at the depths of this market. The items sold inside were much more valuable than those outside, and most of the people who came here to buy things were wealthy.

Xun'er and Xiao Yao arrived at a clean stall.

Xun'er stopped gracefully, extending her fair and delicate wrist to pick up a light green bracelet. The bracelet was made of ordinary material, but with the addition of some icy silver, making the entire bracelet shimmer with a cool and captivating luster in the sunlight. It felt cool to the touch, making it perfect for summer wear. Although the material was ordinary, it was still uniquely elegant...

After casually examining the bracelet for a while, Xun'er was about to take out her money to buy it when she noticed that Xiao Yao had already taken out a green card and handed it to the old vendor in front of him, smiling and saying, "Boss, I'll take this bracelet."

The old man smiled and took the card, took out one hundred gold coins, and handed it to Xiao Yao, saying in a hoarse, aged voice, "Young man, one hundred gold coins in total, this bracelet is yours."

Just as Xiao Yao accepted the card and bracelet, a clear laugh came from behind.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Xun'er? Hehe, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence!"

With a slight furrow of her delicate brows, Xun'er looked in the direction of the sound and saw a crowd of people surging over. In the crowd, a richly dressed young man was surrounded like a star around the moon.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yao immediately stood in front of Xun'er and said calmly, "Galieau, is there something you need? If not, we can be leaving now."

Galeo watched as Xun'er hid behind Xiao Yao, her little hand still being held by Xiao Yao. His lips twitched slightly, but his face remained smiling. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a bracelet. The bracelet was light blue-gold, and the chain was made of gold-blue iron. At the joint of the bracelet, a green magic crystal, polished into a bead shape, was hanging from it. A faint green light shone through it, making the chain look beautiful and exquisite.

Galeo looked at Xun'er, glanced at Xiao Yao, and a smug smile appeared on his lips. He said softly, "Miss Xun'er, this is a wood spirit bracelet that I just bought in the market. Although it is not a very valuable item, it is accompanied by a level one wood attribute magic crystal. It is a small gift. I hope Miss Xun'er will not refuse it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yao felt a strange urge to laugh. What kind of trash could possibly catch Xun'er's eye with something so low-class?

Xun'er looked at Galeo in front of her and said impatiently, "Young Master Galeo, I appreciate your kindness, but you should take this back."

Xiao Yao noticed that Galeo's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He turned to Xun'er with a slight smile and said softly, "Xun'er, come and give me your hand. The bracelet I just bought suits you very well."
