"Chen... Bro." Xiao Li chanically turned her head and looked at the clean-cut youth.
The youth was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a Copper Coin Sword casually slung at his waist.
At a glance, he seed to transcend mundane life, but his eyes were filled with indulgence when facing the girl.
The marketplace was bustling with people, all within a small enclosed space.
In his eyes, there was only the pretty girl before him, "Since it's sothing bought for us, it's only right that I pay for it."
Xiao Li dumbly nodded her head, completely spellbound.
Beichen transferred the money in several transactions to the Snake Expeller.
The Snake Tar took the money without showing any pleasure and, feeling like he made a big loss, said, "You're lucky, getting the Gu Queen so cheaply."
"Woman, I have wronged you. It turns out... you were buying the Ice Silkworm Gu for soone else," Xiao Honghong chid in from sowhere near my ear, speaking in a huffed tone.
With one hand holding a flower umbrella and the other petting the jealous Xiao Honghong, I said, "I have you, this one little bug is enough for . Rest assured, I won't ss with other bugs."
"Don't you lie to ." Xiao Honghong rubbed her head against my ear pleadingly.
It had always been a little haughty, with actions belying its words.
But it had never admitted its wrongs before, or shown such a clingy side.
It seed my recent attempt to purchase the Ice Silkworm Gu genuinely threatened Xiao Honghong.
After purchasing the Ice Silkworm Gu, Xiao Li held it lovingly in her hands as if she could never let it go.
With ecstasy written all over the girl's face, the smiling Beichen holding the umbrella couldn't help but chuckle. Yet soon, a trace of worry flitted across his brow.
"The herbal dicine pouches that protect against poison, Granny Long made three of them for ." Beichen gave one herbal pouch each to
and Xiao Li, which he had brought from the Corpse-Driving Inn.
I took it in hand and instinctively sniffed it, "It slls wonderful."
"Wait, don't just sniff it willy-nilly."
Xiao Li, normally careless, released a rare vigilance and seriously asked Beichen, "Wanwan is pregnant, there's no musk in it, is there?"
"No, I made sure to tell Granny Long to leave out many ingredients that are unsuitable for pregnant won," Beichen said, glancing at
and then resting his gaze on Xiao Li's childish yet solemn face, gently ruffling Xiao Li's hair.
All of a sudden, his eyes narrowed and he hissed, "Who's there?"
"What's...." gone.
Before I could finish speaking, several black crows burst out of the rain and attacked us.
These crows were quite unusual, with their feathers tipped in gold.
Upon closer inspection, each actually had three legs.
As they swooped down, they brought a terrifying Demon Qi with them. I had no usable weapon on
to fight back, so I imdiately condensed heavenly fire.
The heavenly fire blossod into a Begonia, knocking one of the crows far away.
Upon contact with the heavenly fire, the crow instantly turned to char.
Hitting the damp cobblestone floor added a chilling effect to the sight.
Beichen drew his Copper Coin Sword and struck down a crow.
"Ow, my forehead..." Xiao Li's forehead was pecked by the sharp beak of a crow, drawing blood.
Beichen's eyes narrowed with sternness, rushing over to protect Xiao Li.
But the crows kept coming in greater numbers, forming a group of over twenty and quickly surrounding Xiao Li.
These dull-feathered beasts were full of grey Demon Qi; united, they could knock a person far away, leaving us able only to kill one at a ti.
"Xiao Li!! Damn it, you annoying birds."
Out of anger, I released all the heavenly fire within
irresponsibly, and for a mont, the heavenly fire transford into a phoenix with the call of 'Phoenix Cries to the Nine Heavens.'
The phoenix, with its clear cry, charged towards the dense flock of crows.
The crows, intimidated by the phoenix's cry, scattered in panic.
But they all failed to escape completely; a spark landing on their feathers imdiately spread and engulfed them, leaving none spared.
Xiao Li lay on the ground, her back covered with peck marks.
Her thick cotton coat had actually been pierced through by beaks as sharp as tal.
My heart clenched, and I rushed over to check on her.
Beichen had already picked up Xiao Li, "How are you?"
