Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Even among those so-called famous and powerful people, there are probably only a handful of people who can compare with Xiao Yan in terms of integrity.

"Okay, the deal is done." Boss Yao nodded slightly and came to Xiao Yan with the Blood Lotus Essence. "Although I want to give it to you directly, since you can resist such a big bargain, I guess you won't accept it, right?"

"The transaction has not yet been completed, how can you ask for payment in advance?"

Xiao Yan said word by word, Boss Yao chuckled and said.

"I will keep this blood lotus essence for now to prevent it from being bought by others. When you bring the medicinal material here, I will give it to you directly without charging a penny."

"Boss Yao? This..."

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, and was about to say something when Boss Yao raised his hand to stop him.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have sold this Blood Lotus Essence as Yellow Lotus Essence. No matter how high its value is, it has nothing to do with me." Boss Yao said with a smile: "Just treat it as Yellow Lotus Essence. One hundred gold coins can let you do life-threatening work. Anyway, I'm making money."

".In this case, I have no choice but to thank Boss Yao."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and saluted, solemnly thanking Boss Yao, who just waved his hand lightly.

"Okay, wait here for a moment, I'll go get something for you."

Boss Yao walked into the inner room and began to rummage through the drawers. After a while, he came out with two blueprints in his hand and handed them to Xiao Yan.

"One of these two drawings shows the location of the medicinal material, and the other shows its detailed appearance. With these two things, it will be easier for you to find it."

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded, took the two drawings and put them back into the ring, walked to the wall, put the Xuan Zhong ruler back on his back, waved to Boss Yao and prepared to leave. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Boss Yao's voice came from behind him.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety! Don't risk your life!"

"thanks for reminding."

Xiao Yan turned around and smiled, then left Wanyaozhai, his figure gradually disappearing in the bustling street.

Boss Yao looked at Xiao Yan's disappearing back and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Such upright young men are truly rare.

I hope his integrity will continue.

Boss Yao was thinking this, and suddenly his brows furrowed, and he pinched his chin and murmured.

"Speaking of which, Xian'er is almost of marriageable age." Boss Yao's eyes gleamed with a gleam of light, and he grinned slightly, "When they all come back, let's let them meet each other~"

As Boss Yao said this, he suddenly remembered something and his expression gradually darkened.

"No, forget it."

Boss Yao quietly rejected his idea, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

If the two of them really meet, it would be fine if they don't like each other, but if they like each other, then he would be harming Xiao Yan.

Xian'er is destined to have no one to accompany her in this life.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Boss Yao, who looked normal just now, suddenly covered his mouth and started coughing violently. His face became extremely ugly, his body was shaking and he could hardly stand. He leaned on the counter and tremblingly took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve. He poured out the pills from the bottle and fed them directly into his mouth. After swallowing it, his complexion gradually improved after a few seconds.

Looking at the glaring red on the palm that had just covered my mouth, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Can't hold on any longer?

Boss Yao leaned against the counter and slowly sat down. The idea that he had just dismissed came up again.

Let them meet.

Even though it would be unfair to Xiao Yan, an upright young man, Boss Yao hoped that there would be someone truly trustworthy to accompany Xiao Yixian.

Even if it is, I can't stay with you for long.

Chapter 77: Instant Shatter

Boom! ! !

In the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Yan waved the Xuan Zhong Ruler and fiercely slapped a first-level monster, the Wood-Swallowing Fox, which flew away. Then he glanced at the group of Wood-Swallowing Foxes that surrounded him and said lightly.

"I don't want to kill anyone in vain. Please leave."

As if they understood Xiao Yan's words, or as if they were afraid of Xiao Yan's power, the group of Wood-Swallowing Foxes scattered and escaped from here in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yan put away the Xuan Zhong Ruler, squatted down in front of the Wood-Swallowing Fox that he had knocked unconscious, picked up its tail and shook it. The unconscious Wood-Swallowing Fox slowly opened its eyes, and after seeing Xiao Yan, it swayed back and forth in panic. Xiao Yan then let go of its tail, and the Wood-Swallowing Fox landed on the ground and immediately disappeared from Xiao Yan's sight.

Xiao Yan's series of actions made Yao Chen in the ring complain.

"You really can show mercy to everything. Not only humans, but also monsters?"

"I just don't want to carry out meaningless killing. If I need to use the materials from the Wood-Swallowing Fox for some purpose one day, I will not show any mercy. Please rest assured, Senior Yao."

Xiao Yan knew the reason why Yao Chen complained about him, so he reassured Yao Chen in advance, which made Yao Chen's dissatisfaction subside.

"Well, if that's the case, then it's up to you."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, took out the map given to him by Boss Yao from his arms, and continued moving forward after identifying the direction.

"But even though I have accepted this deal, I am still a little worried."

Xiao Yan said this as he followed the map, causing Yao Chen to raise his eyebrows in confusion.

"What are you worried about?"

"Because isn't a second-level magic beast equivalent to a fighter?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said as a matter of course: "My disciple is only a three-star fighter now, and the Burning Art has not evolved yet, so there are too many unfavorable factors."

"."

Yao Chen was speechless.

Sometimes she really doubted whether Xiao Yan did it on purpose.

Why didn't you consider the level difference when you faced that girl Ruolin? Now you remember that you are a fighter?

Yao Chen pinched his nose bridge with a headache. In fact, it was not just Xiao Yan, all the younger generations of the Xiao family brought up by Xiao Yan had this problem.

Before starting a fight, you will still consider the level difference between yourself and your opponent.

But when the real fight starts, no matter what your level is, just fight!

From Shu Shen's point of view, it felt like each of the Xiao family's juniors used two brains, one for daily use and one for combat. They just shared memories.

In the end, facing Xiao Yan's worries, Yao Shen could only say helplessly.

"Don't worry, just go ahead and fight. We'll take care of anything that happens for you."

"Thank you, Senior Yao, but unless it is absolutely necessary, please let me solve it myself."

"Yes, yes, yes~ Otherwise, there's no way to grow, right?"

While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion in the distance. Xiao Yan frowned, put away the map and went forward, only to see a group of mercenaries besieging a giant frost-like snake.

Xiao Yan recognized it; it was the second-level magical beast, the Red Ice Snake.

At this time, Xiao Yan saw that when the mercenaries were fighting with the red ice snake in the front, the only woman in white in the entire team was standing behind them and watching, and Xiao Yan also had a rough guess about the identity of the woman.

That should be the Xian'er that Boss Yao mentioned, the popular little medical fairy in Qingshan Town.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but look the Little Medical Fairy up and down. To be honest, although her appearance couldn't compare to Concubine Yun Zhi Yafei, she was also a rare beauty. She exuded an ethereal temperament, as if she was a fairy high above, making people look up to her.

The most eye-catching thing is the slender waist bound by a silk ribbon. Judging from the waist alone, it is definitely the most slender and delicate among all the women Xiao Yan has ever seen, which makes people can't help but have a strong desire to protect her. No wonder she can become the goddess of these men.

"Forehead"

After evaluating Little Medical Fairy in his heart, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned, and then he slapped his forehead hard, his heart full of regret.

(It’s fucked. How come he has become like this since leaving Wutan City? He comments on every beautiful woman he sees. Is it because Mei’er and Xun’er aren’t around?)

Is this just my nature?

Xiao Yan frowned tightly and couldn't help but doubt his own extremely confident integrity.

But Yao Chen just laughed.

(Lust is human instinct, there is no need to feel guilty. Look at me, I was so strong when I was alive, wasn’t I also lustful?)

(.)

Somehow, Xiao Yan always felt uncomfortable when Yao Chen compared himself with him in this aspect.

If I continue like this, will I be as bad as Senior Yao?

Xiao Yan shook his head violently, determined to avoid this kind of future!

Senior Yao is so beautiful that even if she makes an ugly face, she can still charm a lot of people. Even a slightly vulgar expression can still be pleasing to the eye.

If it were his own mediocre looks that were neither good-looking nor ugly, and he really showed a vulgar expression one day, Xiao Yan himself would not be able to tolerate it.

For the sake of your future image, work hard to correct it.

Xiao Yan made this decision secretly in his heart, and suddenly raised his eyebrows. When he saw the mercenaries fighting the red ice snake in front of him, a frost snake head slowly emerged from the jungle behind Xiao Yixian.

It’s the second red ice snake!!!

"Watch your back!!!"

Xiao Yan shouted immediately, and Xiao Yixian also heard the reminder. She turned around abruptly and saw the red ice snake pouncing towards her with its mouth wide open. Its sharp fangs were less than half a foot away from Xiao Yixian's pretty face!

"Get out of the way!!!"

The mercenaries who saw this scene were all panicked and wanted to support Xiao Yixiang, but it was too late.

Just when everyone, including Xiao Yixian herself, thought that the Red Ice Snake was about to die, a black shadow suddenly flew over and smashed the Red Ice Snake's head into pieces in an instant with a whistling sound!

"Eh?"

This scene stunned everyone, and Xiao Yan, who had just thrown out the Xuan Zhong Ruler, flashed and instantly arrived above the red ice snake that the mercenaries were focusing their fire on. He clenched his fists and smashed down on the red ice snake's head.

"Baji collapse!!!"

boom! ! !

If the red ice snake that attacked by surprise only had its head broken, then this red ice snake looked quite miserable. Its entire body from head to tail was shattered into ice foam, and it was deader than dead.

"What?!!"

Xiao Yan's attack stunned everyone in the mercenary group. They opened their mouths in horror and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of them.

This...is not a dream?

That was a second-level magic beast! The same level as a fighting master! But this young man blasted it into pieces with just one blow? !

In contrast to the shocked crowd, Xiao Yan was also looking at the ice chips under his feet in astonishment, his mind full of question marks.

A second-level monster, that’s it???

Chapter 78 I'm so tired of complaining

Xiao Yan looked at the ice chips under his feet and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

You said you were on the same level as the Fighter Master? How come you're gone after I just hit you with one punch?

Xiao Yan couldn’t understand it. He had been planning to throw a few more punches, but who knew that this red ice snake was so weak that it died in an instant.

(Well, this red ice snake probably hasn’t grown up yet. It should be at the level of a first-level magic beast.)

Xiao Yan thought this way, and found a reason that he could accept.

However, Yao Chen in the ring was covering his face, unable to complain.

There is no doubt that both the red ice snake that attacked Xiao Yixiang and the red ice snake that was besieged by this mercenary group are second-level magical beasts that have already reached adulthood!

You really think you are a pig, don't you? There are so many fighters and even a fighter master besieging the red ice snake that can't be taken down for a while, and you actually think it is a first-level magic beast?

It's ok that you think of yourself as a pig, but you have eaten so many tigers and still have no self-awareness. Your train of thought is really crazy.

Others are pretending to be pigs to eat tigers, but you are the real dragon eating tigers and yet you think you are a pig!

Never mind. It's up to you.

Yao Chen was too lazy to correct it. It wouldn't do any harm to Xiao Yan anyway, because he felt that he was very weak, so he would always be alert to the enemy.

It is this overly modest attitude that really makes people uncomfortable.

Yao Chen didn't want to correct Xiao Yan's misunderstanding. Xiao Yan himself had found a reason to explain himself, so he didn't continue to dwell on it. He stretched his arms, turned around, walked past the mercenaries who were standing there in a daze, walked past the Little Medical Fairy who was staring at him with her beautiful eyes, came to the Xuan Zhong ruler that was inserted diagonally into the ground, stretched out his hand and easily pulled it out, looking at the headless body of the Red Ice Snake, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

(What are you two doing here, wandering around before you're even adults?)
