Chapter 11 Acquaintances? Friends?
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Blue-silver entanglement!"
Inside the room, Xiao Yan let out a low shout and slammed his palm on the ground. A blue silver grass vine the size of his body instantly shot out and firmly bound the table leg in front of him.
With a mere thought, he could easily snap the table leg by tightening the vines.
"It seems that a martial soul without spirit rings isn't entirely useless after all," Xiao Yan smiled. During this time, he discovered that as long as he injected Dou Qi, he could materialize and control the Blue Silver Grass. The precision and strength of this control even reached a level that ordinary Dou Shi stage practitioners might not be able to achieve.
With this trick, he finally had some means of self-defense.
Even if it's used to catch those two rabbits again, there's absolutely no problem.
Uh... no, we can't say there are no problems now.
Xiao Yan withdrew his fighting spirit, and the Blue Silver Grass immediately dissipated.
Recalling the two rabbits that Xiao Xun'er had been raising some time ago, they were twice the size of the ones she had left him, and their fur was glossy and smooth.
I don't know what Xiao Xun'er fed me, but the feel of my hands is better, and my strength seems to have increased a lot.
He even had a delusion.
If those two rabbits fought desperately, I, who had little practical combat experience, probably wouldn't be a match for them.
"The power of the elixir is terrifying. This little rich woman truly lives up to her name," he thought to himself.
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the door.
He knew who it was almost without thinking.
Upon opening the door, I saw Xiao Xun'er standing quietly in front of the door, holding the pink and white rabbit with some difficulty in one arm.
Unlike before, her face showed a mixture of guilt and inner conflict, emotions that shouldn't often appear on her face.
Over the past two months, the two have communicated quite frequently. They are not close friends, but they are acquaintances.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"I'm sorry," Xiao Xun'er said softly, "I heard from others that because of me, you seem to be...isolated."
"Isolate them?" A question mark appeared above Xiao Yan's head, and he blurted out instinctively, "Isn't this me isolating them? Or are they isolating me?"
He had no time to play around with a group of children; all he did was cultivate and study martial spirits and techniques.
That's a statement made with absolute certainty.
But when Xiao Xun'er heard this, she was stunned.
Is one person "isolated" from a group of people?
It seems... that this guy really can do it.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but smile.
The idea of being isolated doesn't seem to apply to me.
With her looks, just by standing there, people would be unable to resist coming up to talk to her, and she didn't mind.
Without exception, the day after their conversation with her, those people seemed to have received some kind of warning, becoming cautious and timid, no longer as relaxed and happy as before.
But the person in front of me is different.
He has no parents, and even after being warned by his elders, he continues as before. Indeed, as he said, he has "isolated" everyone except himself... seemingly, except for me as well.
The thought flashed through Xiao Xun'er's mind, and she felt the little white rabbit in her arms trembling. Helplessly, she reached out and gently stroked and comforted it.
Besides, she couldn't help but feel confused. How exactly had Xiao Yan treated Xiao Bai before? No matter how many times she came, Xiao Bai always reacted with fear when she saw Xiao Yan.
Even after consuming so many pills, and despite already being quite strong...
At the same time.
Xiao Yan's gaze followed Xiao Xun'er to the little white rabbit in her arms, and a genuine look of envy flashed in his eyes.
"I really don't know what I eat to grow so big... If only I could eat more... that would be great."
His words carried a subtle, veiled implication.
He's starting to think about living off a woman.
"No, you can't!"
Xiao Xun'er immediately replied, her bright eyes glancing at Xiao Yan before instantly looking away. This... Beast Taming Pill is for magical beasts, not for humans.
Humans, it seems, can't be tamed either...
An inexplicable thought arose in my mind.
She quickly suppressed it herself.
But are humans truly untamable?
Xiao Xun'er was momentarily lost in thought, and Xiao Yan's gaze followed her to her serene face.
Unlike two months ago, Xiao Xun'er's face now had a sickly pale complexion.
I guess he's already started cultivating battle qi.
As the possessor of the ancient clan's imperial bloodline, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within his body, in the initial stage of cultivation, every strand of battle qi generated carries the domineering burning characteristics of a strange fire, inevitably causing him to suffer the pain of being burned.
This situation is theoretically worrying.
In reality, even Xiao Xun'er's father, a top expert on this continent, and her bodyguard Ling Ying, did not intervene or stop it.
This must be a necessary process. It may strengthen the resilience of the meridians and lay an excellent foundation, so that subsequent cultivation can be achieved with ease and there will be no real danger.
However... it will hurt a lot.
He doesn't mind helping.
However, even using the methods he knew, he couldn't offer much help.
"Drink more hot water."
Xiao Yan quietly uttered a word of concern.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er snapped out of her reverie and nodded slightly. She had been feeling unwell lately and couldn't go out much, so…
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Xiao Yan sighed as he watched Xiao Xun'er's departing figure.
He knew that method, of course, because of the books he brought back from Douluo Continent; he had already read all the ones he needed to.
The best development path for the Blue Silver Grass martial soul is undoubtedly the support type, especially the healing type.
If they could obtain a healing-type soul skill, it would definitely alleviate most of Xiao Xun'er's pain and even heal some injuries.
However, with his current physique, he might be able to absorb a hundred-year-old soul ring, but he definitely can't do it with a thousand-year-old soul ring unless he advances to the level of a Dou Zhe.
But by then, Xiao Xun'er herself would probably have gotten used to the burning pain.
Then, his breathing became slightly heavier.
Fourth level of Battle Qi!
Improving by one level every two months, that's fast...
Sure enough, some of his fighting spirit was secretly absorbed by "Amen," otherwise, with his talent, he shouldn't have only made that kind of progress.
Although frequently traveling to Douluo Continent for cultivation is one of the reasons.
"Forget it, let's continue cultivating. Instead of lamenting, let's take another step forward."
As night deepened, Xiao Xun'er returned to her small courtyard and lay flat on her bed. Faint golden spots of light peeked through her skin, flowing endlessly along her delicate veins.
Her face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat kept sliding down her forehead, wetting the hair at her temples.
The burning pain was like thousands of fine needles, repeatedly piercing and scalding with every movement of the fighting spirit.
However, Xiao Xun'er just bit her lip tightly, letting her teeth sink deep into her lower lip, and never let out a single groan of pain.
Beside her, two rabbits, each half the height of a small person, lay quietly, their four round eyes fixed on their little owner. Since escaping from that "devil," they had never had such a peaceful day, and had long regarded this place as their home. They did not want this peaceful life to end, nor did they want anything to happen to their owner, so that she would return to that "devil's" side.
"Thump—!"
Suddenly a sound came from outside the door, as if someone was climbing over the wall.
