Xun Er's slender eyebrows knit slightly as she looked at the handsome young man whose face was filled with joy. She ignored his shouts and turned around to leave.
"Miss Xun Er!"
The handsome young man's pale face immediately became anxious when he saw Xun Er turn around. His footsteps quickened a little and finally blocked Xun Er.
Xun Er could only stop her footsteps after being stopped by the young man. Her long and narrow autumn water eyes were slightly narrowed with a little laziness as she indifferently looked at him. However, she did not say a word.
" Miss Xun Er…" Being stared at by the young lady's pair of autumn water eyes, the breathing of the young man, who had been wandering among beauties all year round, actually became a little hurried. His usual eloquence seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
"Young master Jia Lie Ao, if there's nothing else, please move aside.”
Xun Er finally opened her mouth as she looked at the young man, whose face had turned a little red. The young lady's tender and soft voice caused a somewhat sickly red flush to immediately surge onto the pale face of the young man opposite her.
"Hehe, Miss Xun Er, what do you want to buy in the market? I happen to be free. Why don't we take a walk together?”Taking a deep breath in his heart, the smile on Jia Lie Ao's face was bright and warm. This kind of smile, coupled with his identity and appearance, had allowed him to successfully bring back a beauty several times.
"Young master Jia Lie Ao, I've already said that I have something to do! Can you please move aside?" Xun Er's small mouth slightly pursed, her voice so calm that there was not the slightest fluctuation.
After being rejected by Xun Er, Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched. However, the smile on his face remained. He reached out his hand and rummaged through his clothes. Finally, he took out a bracelet. The bracelet was light blue and gold in color. The chain was made of gold and blue iron. At the joint of the bracelet, there was a green monster core that had been ground into the shape of a round bead. A faint green light shone from it, rendering the chain extremely beautiful. It seemed that this small bracelet was definitely not cheap.
"Hehehe, Miss Xun Er has something to do, Jia Lie Ao is forcing him to stop.”Jia Lie Ao carefully held the bracelet and smiled politely: "This is the Wood Spirit Bracelet that I just bought in the market. Although it is not a precious item, there is a level 1 wood attribute magic crystal on it. It has a very good effect on the recovery of Dou Qi. Miss Xun Er has not yet become a Dou Zhe. This is the most suitable accessory for you. Miss Xun Er, please do not reject this small gift. Otherwise, Jia Lie Ao will be embarrassed in front of his subordinates…" Jia Lie Ao even deliberately made a little joke, and his subordinates around him also cooperated and laughed a few times.
"Young master Jia Lie Ao, I've already said that I have something to do! Can you please move aside?" Xun Er's small mouth slightly pursed, her voice so calm that there was not the slightest fluctuation.
Looking at Jia Lie Ao's actions, Xun Er's brows furrowed once again. She felt somewhat helpless towards this sticky candy.
"No need, young master Jia Lie Ao. As for the bracelet, I've already given you one. You don't need it, right?"
Jia Lie Ao looked at Lucifer. Although he knew that Lucifer looked very demonic, he still couldn't help but be shocked. Then, he looked at Xun Er's hand.
The bracelet on Xun Er's hand, from the material, was obviously a street stall item that didn't cost more than five gold coins. His Wood Spirit Bracelet, on the other hand, was an authentic magical crystal jewelry. When he bought it, he spent more than a thousand gold coins. The two bracelets, regardless of style, price, or practicality, were completely different. Therefore, when Jia Lie Ao saw Lucifer giving such a shabby jewelry to a beautiful girl like Xun Er, he couldn't help but say mockingly,"Young Master Xiao Bing, although I knew that your status in your family isn't high, but…but you don't have to humiliate Miss Xun Er like this, right?”
Hearing Jia Lie Ao's ridicule, Lucifer looked at the bracelet on Aroma's hand,"It's a little lacking."
So...
Lucifer took out a bracelet that was even more exquisite than Jia Lie Ao's. The bracelet was dark gold in color, and the chain was made of dark gold iron. At the joint of the bracelet, there was a green magic core that had been ground into the shape of a round bead. A faint green light seeped out from it, rendering the chain beautiful. The entire bracelet was carved with ancient golden patterns, and it was very beautiful.
" This should be enough," Lucifer said to Aroma and passed the bracelet to her.
"How is this possible? This... "This is a level four magic crystal," Jia Lie Ao said in surprise.
However, Lucifer ignored Jia Lie Ao's surprise and said to Aroma,"Do you like this? If you don't, then throw it away. A level four mana crystal is a bit low."
The surrounding people were all stunned. Level 4?？？？？？？？What kind of concept was that?
" I like it, of course I like it. As long as it's given to me by Brother Xiao Bing, I will like it." The girl who was in a daze was awakened by Lucifer's actions. Her hands were controlled subconsciously as she quickly snatched the bracelet. After the bracelet was in her hands, Xun Er regained her senses. She seemed to be a little too anxious…
Lucifer glanced at Jia Lie Ao in front of him, and his gaze swept across the golden star on his chest. He couldn't help but think,"Tsk, you're only a one star Dou Zhe, trash."
Seeing that this guy had no intention of leaving, Lucifer said,""Young master Jia Lie Ao, what's wrong? Still not leaving? Then we'll leave first."
"Stay away from him. He's not a good person..." Without waiting for Jia Lie Ao to say anything, he turned to Xun Er and gently said,
"Oh."
Xun Er's lively eyes blinked and nodded her head indifferently. To her, Jia Lie Ao was just a stranger whom she had met a few times. To her, Lucifer was irreplaceable. Since he said to stay away, then stay away.
Seeing Xun Er actually nod and agree to Lucifer's words, Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched and his fists creaked as he stared at the calm youth in front of him.
The group of subordinates behind Jia Lie Ao saw their master's ugly expression and very cleverly stepped forward, faintly surrounding the two of them. Their gazes were mixed with ill intentions.
In the depths of the market, there were also quite a number of people. Seeing the incident here, they couldn't help but look over curiously. Lucifer and Jia Lie Ao were also quite famous in Wu Tan City. Lucifer was because he couldn't cultivate Dou Qi, while Jia Lie Ao was known for his promiscuous reputation. Although their reputations weren't very good, they could still be considered as two celebrities.
Looking at the actions of the other party, Lucifer's calm eyes finally moved. A hint of anger appeared on his cold little face. It was not the first time these ants challenged his dignity.
He saw the guards of the market, under the leadership of captain Pei En, charging over aggressively.
Pei En brought a large group of guards and quickly ran over. With a wave of his hand, his guards fiercely surrounded Jia Lie Ao's group. For a moment, both sides were at daggers drawn.
"Third Brother, are you alright?" Xiao Yan came behind Lucifer and swept his gaze across Jia Lie Ao and the others before asking with a smile.
Xiao Yan tilted his head to look at Jia Lie Ao's ugly expression and said casually: "Young master Jia Lie Ao, this market is the Xiao family's territory. You want to attack here?”
Jia Lie Ao's gaze was somewhat fearful as he looked at Pei En. He then turned his head to Xiao Yan and Lucifer and sneered: "Do you only know how to rely on your family's power? If you were a man…"
"You want to tell me that if we were men, we would have a fair competition with you, right?”Xiao Yan suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Jia Lie Ao's words with a smile.
Jia Lie Ao sneered and provoked: "That's right. Do you dare?"
Looking at Jia Lie Ao's provocative face, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and after a moment, he raised his head and shrugged his shoulders. His face was pure and innocent: "Young master Jia Lie Ao, I want to ask, how old are you this year?”
Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched, his face dark and silent.
"Big brother, you're 21 this year. How old are we? I'm fifteen! My third brother is also fifteen years old! You actually want us, two children who haven't even held our Coming of Age Ceremony, to duel with you? Don't you think that your request is a little embarrassing?”Xiao Yan sighed. The helpless expression on his small face caused Xun Er, who was beside him, to involuntarily laugh. She pursed her lips and laughed softly.
"Haha."
Hearing the young man's innocent words, some of the mercenaries and merchants who were setting up stalls in the depths of the market immediately laughed out loud. Indeed, with Xiao Yan's current age, he could at most be considered as a tender young man who was still wet behind the ears. On the other hand, Jia Lie Ao was already an adult. This kind of challenge really made everyone feel some disdain in their hearts.
The mocking gazes from the surroundings were like a basin of cold water, allowing Jia Lie Ao to regain some clarity. The maturity and indifference that Xiao Yan and Lucifer displayed would always make people unconsciously leave out his age. Therefore, after being reminded, Jia Lie Ao finally remembered that the two youths in front of him were only fifteen years old…
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Jia Lie Ao looked at the group of Xiao clan guards who were standing behind Xiao Yan like tigers eyeing their prey. He knew that he had no chance to teach them a lesson today. He could only bitterly shake his head and fiercely say: "In another year, you guys will be holding your Coming of Age Ceremony, right? Hehe, I think you two trash, after the coming of age ceremony, you will probably be arranged to go to those remote villages. In the future, you won't even have the qualifications to enter Wu Tan City. How pitiful.”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders in a noncommittal manner. Lucifer looked on coldly.
Jia Lie Ao's eyelids twitched. He didn't know why, but as long as he saw the calm expression on the youth's face, he would be filled with anger. You trash, why are you pretending to be so profound…
Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, Jia Lie Ao coldly snorted, waved his hand, and led his subordinates to squeeze through the crowd.
"Oh, that's right…" Jia Lie Ao's footsteps suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something."Little Young Master Xiao Yan, I heard that your Xiao clan's engagement was forcefully canceled by Nalan Yanran of the Nalan clan? Hehe, it's actually nothing much. With your cultivation talent, you're indeed not worthy of Miss Nalan, haha…"After saying this, Jia Lie Ao laughed and left.
Xiao Yan's gaze was somewhat sinister as he stared at Jia Lie Ao who was leaving. His fists were tightly clenched.
"Uncle Pei En, sorry to trouble you.”Xiao Yan turned his head and spoke to Pei En's group with a friendly smile. The somewhat dark and dense aura from earlier had instantly transformed into the vitality and frankness of a young man.
Pei En sighed in his heart at Xiao Yan's control over his emotions. There was an additional respect that came from the bottom of his heart in his smile. Ignoring Xiao Yan's training talent, just this intelligence alone would likely not be too low in the future.
"Ke ke, Third Young Master must be joking. This is originally the territory of our Xiao clan, how can we allow the Jia Lie clan to act so impudently?”Pei En smiled and watched Xiao Yan's manner of looking around. After bidding farewell, he very consciously led his people and left.
----------------------------------------------------------------
After that, Lucifer and his group started to wander around the market again.
Just like in the original novel, Xiao Yan bought a Monster Core and a black metal piece.
