Su Yun didn't know what had happened to the Xiao Family, he had already returned home by now.
The cooperation with the Xiao Family was a move that would only show significant results after some time.
True strength lies in the mind, he was patient.
Today, he chose not to directly contact Xiao Yan, it would be better to have a suitable reason, to avoid seeming too abrupt.
"Big brother!"
Seeing Su Yun returning, Little Fairy's face lit up with a smile.
Su Yun watched as Little Fairy ran towards him, a smile flickering in his heart.
Although he had initially taken her in because of her potential, after spending this time together, they had become like family, like siblings relying on each other to survive in this cruel world.
Little Fairy embraced Su Yun, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Until the matter of the Calamity Poison was resolved, he couldn't let go of his concerns.
Reviving his beloved in this world was not an easy task.
Moreover, with Little Fairy's soul power, he didn't even know if her soul would dissipate upon death.
In one's life, one must protect something, otherwise, what's the point? Even if one becomes powerful, the loneliness and desolation would drive them insane.
The words Medicine Old said to Xiao Yan in the original work surfaced in his mind. He understood the meaning of those words.
He didn't understand the grand truths of life, he only knew that Little Fairy was his family, and that was enough.
"Big brother, can you take Xian'er out for a stroll? Xian'er hasn't been out for a long time."
Little Fairy, in his embrace, softly pleaded.
Upon hearing this, Su Yun smiled.
During the time she spent with him, Little Fairy had mostly stayed indoors, whether it was before moving or now.
It was normal for her to want to go out and play.
"Let's go! Big brother will take you out for a good time today."
"Yay!"
Little Fairy cheered with excitement. This period of time had been boring for her!
It was still early in the day, Su Yun took Little Fairy to the market within the city of Wutan.
Because of his need to collect materials for Foundation Building Elixir, he had explored all the markets in Wutan City.
He was naturally familiar with the market, knowing where to find good food and entertainment.
The two spent the whole day in Wutan City.
To Su Yun, Wutan City didn't offer much entertainment, but it was different for Little Fairy.
Wutan City was the largest city she had ever visited. Before this, she had only accompanied her parents to Qing Shan Town a few times, so everything seemed novel to her.
Whenever Little Fairy took a liking to something, Su Yun would buy it for her. With his current wealth, buying some trinkets was insignificant.
As they strolled, night fell, and they walked back home with bags of various sizes in their hands.
Due to the crowded and watchful eyes in the city, they didn't feel comfortable storing their belongings in their spatial rings.
At a junction, Su Yun suddenly grabbed Little Fairy's hand and turned into a corner.
Huh?
Little Fairy looked at Su Yun with confusion.
They were almost home if they had continued straight, why did they have to take a detour?
"Xian'er, look straight ahead, don't turn back, don't make a sound, someone is following us."
Su Yun whispered in Little Fairy's ear.
Huh?!
Little Fairy's body stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal.
She was still young, but very clever.
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
This world was like this; even if you minded your own business and didn't cause trouble, trouble would still find its way to you.
Weakness was the original sin.
They hadn't exposed their spatial rings earlier, but the coins they used for shopping might have aroused the interest of unscrupulous individuals.
The person following them was skilled at concealment, obviously an old hand.
However, having spent a year in the Savage Beast Mountain Range and gained experience from Medicine Old, Su Yun's vision was sharp and he had long noticed the anomaly.
Name: Xiao Heizi
Gender: Male
Cultivation: Five-Star Fighter
Constitution: None
Attribute: Wood
Technique: Advanced Yellow Grade "Mountain Chicken Sutra"
Combat Skill: Advanced Yellow Grade "Chicken Ball"
Su Yun had seen this person's profile when he was in the market.
This place was good.
Xiao Heizi surveyed the surroundings carefully. Seeing no one around, he revealed his intention.
"Hey, you two brats ahead, hand over all the coins you have on you!"
Xiao Heizi smirked, showing his figure. They were just two kids of about ten years old; with his strength, it would be easy to capture them.
Su Yun and Little Fairy pretended to be afraid. Su Yun took out some coins from his pocket and placed everything he had on the ground.
"Take the money, please spare us."
Su Yun and Little Fairy hugged each other, looking nervous. A trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in their eyes; Xiao Heizi was doomed!
Although this person was four stars above him, the techniques and skills he practiced were of low grade. With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult to defeat him.
But with Little Fairy here, he had to make sure to kill in one blow!
Xiao Heizi looked triumphant. He had noticed these two little brats in the market before, splurging and buying extravagantly.
He had observed carefully; there were no guards around them, they probably weren't young masters or misses from any prominent family.
Most likely, they had come across some windfall and were now at his mercy.
Xiao Heizi was completely unguarded.
In his eyes, these kids of this age with five levels of Fighter Qi were already gifted talents.
Approaching Su Yun and Little Fairy step by step, as he drew closer, Su Yun's confidence in landing a fatal blow increased.
Sixty percent...
Seventy percent...
Eighty percent...
As "Eight Extreme Burst", a close combat skill, had reached its peak, and this person hadn't cultivated any defense technique at the profound level, nor practiced any defensive attribute technique, only offense.
As long as he landed a blow, it would be fatal!
His confidence kept rising, but Su Yun didn't strike immediately. This person had been blinded by money, and the moment he picked up the coins would be the moment of his demise.
Xiao Heizi approached the two, planning to pick up the coins directly. Su Yun's confidence in a one-hit kill continued to rise.
Sixty percent...
Seventy percent...
Eighty percent...
At the moment when Xiao Heizi's hand touched the coins, Su Yun suddenly made his move.
Eight Extreme Burst!
Su Yun's elbow struck directly at Xiao Heizi's forehead.
What?!
Xiao Heizi roared in his mind, trying to get up, but his body was already flying backward uncontrollably.
"Explode!"
Without hesitation, Su Yun directly triggered the eight layers of Dark Qi he had infused into him.
Xiao Heizi's head exploded with a bang, and red and white matter scattered on the ground.
"Ugh..."
Seeing such images, Little Medical Fairy showed discomfort and covered her mouth with her small hand as she crouched on the ground.
Su Yun hurriedly squatted down and patted Little Medical Fairy's back.
With such a bloody picture, it was normal for Little Medical Fairy to be uncomfortable.
He had experienced such a situation once in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
The enemies in the Magical Beast Mountain Range can be more than just magical beasts ...
Killing people and crossing goods was a common occurrence.
Su Yun put away the things placed on the ground and the gold coins into his Nascent Sphere and flew home with Little Medical Fairy in his arms.
Back home, Su Yun comforted Little Medical Fairy for a good while, and at night, Little Medical Fairy once again lay on Su Yun's bed and fell asleep.
