Chapter 27 Xiao Ning's Invitation
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
The warm sunlight shone through the vents onto Xiao Se and Long Kui's cheeks.
Xiao Se slowly opened his eyes, gently pulled his slightly sore arm out from under Long Kui's snow-white neck, then carefully put on his clothes, sat cross-legged on the stone slab beside him, took out the nourishing spiritual liquid, took a sip, activated the "Burning Art" and the "Returning Soul Art", and entered the state of cultivation.
The early morning is full of vigor and vitality, and it is the best time to practice fighting spirit.
An hour later, the faint aroma of food filled Xiao Se's nose.
Xiao Se made a hand seal to end his practice and woke up from his practice.
Looking sideways, Long Kui had already prepared breakfast in the corner of the stone room.
"Brother, you're awake. Come and eat. Breakfast is just ready." Seeing Xiao Se stop practicing, Long Kui showed a gentle smile on her beautiful face and said with a smile.
Xiao Se nodded slightly, stood up and stretched his slightly numb legs, walked to Long Kui's side, and exclaimed: "Long Kui, what did you cook today? It smells so good."
"Hehe..." Xiao Se's admiration made Long Kui's beautiful eyes curve into a shallow crescent shape. She smiled and said, "It's lean meat porridge, made with my brother's favorite beef."
As she spoke, Long Kui stretched out her jade hand, took out a small bowl from the side, filled it with soup, and handed it to him carefully.
Reaching out to take it, Xiao Se sniffed the fragrant beef porridge, and couldn't help but secrete a lot of saliva from his mouth. He blew it lightly and drank it in one gulp without caring whether it was hot or not.
Looking at Xiao Se who drank the beef porridge in one gulp, a smile appeared on Long Kui's beautiful face. She enjoyed the time she spent with Xiao Se.
Sitting on the stone slab, Xiao Se drank most of the big pot of beef porridge. Long Kui was a soul body, and although she didn't need to eat, she enjoyed life with Xiao Se and drank a bowl of porridge as well.
After finishing the last bowl of beef porridge, Xiao Se touched his still flat belly with satisfaction, gave Long Kui a thumbs up, and joked: "Long Kui, you are such a great cook. Whoever marries you in the future will have a great meal."
"Long Kui doesn't want to get married. Long Kui wants to be with her brother forever." When Long Kui heard Xiao Se say that she was going to get married, she immediately became anxious. The jade bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a snap, and she flew into Xiao Se's arms.
"Uh..." Xiao Se was slightly startled and felt guilty. It seemed that he had gone too far in his joke. He then gently stroked Long Kui's head and comforted her, "Long Kui, I was just joking with you just now. I didn't want you to get married. Even if there is someone else who wants to marry you, I will kill him."
"Really?" Long Kui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head, and asked with red eyes.
"Of course it's true!" Xiao Se vowed.
There was no falsehood in what he said. If someone wanted to marry Long Kui after she was resurrected, he would be the first one to refuse.
"Is it true?" Long Kui continued to ask.
"It's true!" Xiao Se nodded firmly.
"Then let's make a pinky promise." Long Kui stretched out her little finger.
"Pink pinky finger." The two linked their little fingers.
"We'll never change our promise forever."
After they made their pinky promises, the two looked at each other's faces and smiled at the same time.
"Brother, did you get up and cook for dinner last night?" Long Kui suddenly asked, nestling in Xiao Se's arms.
"No, what's wrong?" Xiao Se asked puzzledly.
"The remaining egg from last night is gone. I had been planning to save it for my brother to make egg drop porridge." Long Kui pouted and explained.
When he heard the word "eggs", Xiao Se suddenly realized something and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Then he remembered that he seemed to have exchanged it with Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's eggs are still warm in Xiao's system warehouse!
He touched the back of his head and laughed dryly, "Oh, I remember, I was suddenly a little hungry last night, so I roasted them with beast fire and ate them."
Hearing this, Long Kui nodded slightly without any doubt and stood up to clean up the dishes.
After leaving the cave, Xiao Se practiced fighting skills in front of the waterfall for another hour before slowly going down the mountain and walking towards the Mittel Auction House. Today was the day of the Peiyuan Spirit Liquid auction, and it was also his last few days in Wutan City.
He will leave in three days, and no one knows how long it will take for him to come back.
Perhaps, he would only come back on the day when Canaan College enrolled students. After all, he was determined to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame, which was ranked fourteenth on the Strange Fire List.
Passing through the only way to the Mitel Auction House, the Xiao Family Bluestone Square, Xiao Se once again met someone he didn't want to meet, Xiao Ning.
"Hehe, Xiao Se, you've come at a good time. Let me tell you, the Mitre Auction House sent an invitation letter to our Xiao family yesterday. In addition to the patriarch and three elders, ten extra places were given. These ten places are all the backbones of the family. Even the loser Xiao Yan, the son of the patriarch, is not eligible to participate. I especially asked my grandfather for an extra place. Come on, I'll take you to see the world." Xiao Ning put his hand on Xiao Se's shoulder, looking like a good brother.
Xiao Se glanced at Xiao Ning with some disdain, and said calmly: "Really? Thank you then."
"No need to thank me. Just based on your relationship with my sister, we are such close friends!" Xiao Ning patted his chest confidently.
There was one more thing he didn't say, which was that this place was originally prepared for Xun'er, but the other party refused.
"Xiao Ning, come here quickly, or you'll be left behind." One of the Xiao family's backbones who belonged to the Great Elder's faction urged from the front.
"Oh, here we come." Xiao Ning responded, then patted Xiao Se's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's follow them..."
"Yeah." Xiao Se nodded slightly and followed Xiao Ning to the Mitel Auction House.
It must be said that the publicity efforts of Miter Auction House were still very strong. Xiao Se had just handed over the Essence Replenishing Liquid to Miter Auction House yesterday, and today all the big and small forces in Wutan City had already gathered at the auction house.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Xiao Se followed the waiter of the Mitre Auction House, led by Xiao Zhan and four others, into the VIP channel.
After entering the auction room, Xiao Se, who originally wanted to sit in a remote corner, was pulled by Xiao Ning to sit in a position closer to the front.
"Hey, Xiao Se, do you know what treasures will be auctioned at the Miter Auction House today?" On the right, Xiao Ning asked with a mysterious smile on his face.
"I don't know." Xiao Se shook his head pretending to be ignorant.
"I'm going to give you some popular science about this. The Peiyuan Spirit Liquid is a second-grade elixir that can speed up a fighter's cultivation. Did you know that Zhang San, the owner of the Yuelai Inn west of Wutan City, was an eight-star fighter a month ago, and was stuck at this level for several years and couldn't break through. After spending a huge sum of money to buy the Peiyuan Spirit Liquid, he broke through to the ninth-star fighter in just a few days. It is said that he is now working hard to break through to the master fighter." Xiao Ning put on the demeanor of a wise man and explained with confidence.
