Chapter 125 Xiao Qiu'er
The next morning, unlike his usual early morning wake-up, Xiao Yan deliberately slept in, having not felt the warmth of being woken up by the sun in a long time.
He patted the head of the rolling ball beast on the headboard and gently rolled off the bed.
As soon as he pushed open the dormitory door, Tang San and Xiao Wu were waiting for him at the door, as if they had been prepared for a long time. Even Dugu Bo was standing beside him.
"Old monster, you've arrived?" Xiao Yan looked at the other party and smiled happily, while Dugu Bo turned his head to the side.
"What if you had been killed by that Soul Saint if I hadn't come?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "With your words, I am relieved. After all, Shrek Academy doesn't have any Title Douluos. With your help, how could my life be in danger?"
"Big brother, Xiao San and I were here first." Xiao Wu couldn't help but mutter.
"Xiao Wu, you're up so early, you must want me to treat you to dinner again. Tell me, where in Tian Dou City should we eat today?"
"Okay, okay, let me tell you. The other day, Rongrong, Zhuqing, and I ate at a really delicious restaurant. I'll take you there. But, big brother, Xiao San said you're going on another long trip. Last time you went to the far north and it took you three years. This time you're not going to spend two years going to some far south, are you?"
"There aren't that many strange places. Don't worry, we're going to Tiandou territory this time. It'll be quick. At the latest, we'll be back before the National Tournament starts." Xiao Yan roughly estimated that if they took a carriage, it would take about a month to reach Soto City.
A round trip would take at least two months.
"Old monster, are you sure you don't have anything else to do? This trip is really going to be my babysitter." Xiao Yan joked.
"It's alright. I've already repaid the favor by helping the Heavenly Dou Royal Family last time. You little monster aren't going to join the Royal Family anyway, so I'm happy to be free and have no one to boss me around."
"That's for the best." Seeing that Dugu Bo had distanced himself from the royal family's trivial matters, Xiao Yan was happy for him. As he spoke, he took out a piece of whale glue from his storage device and handed it to Dugu Bo.
"This?" Dugu Bo glanced at the object in front of him. He naturally recognized it as whale glue. He figured the little monster probably didn't have anything good left, so he just gave him some whale glue as a token of appreciation. He readily accepted it.
"Hey, grandpa, don't you know what you're missing? My older brother gave you some ancient whale glue, why aren't you reacting at all?"
Upon hearing "ten thousand years," Dugu Bo's eyes widened.
"How could that be? Ever since Master Yanxiao proposed the theory of strengthening the body with whale glue, not to mention Tiandou, even the entire Xingluo region has almost no ten-thousand-year-old whale glue left. Do you really think I'm easy to fool?" Dugu Bo said stubbornly, glancing down at the object in his hand.
"That old monster, guess who has monopolized the supply of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue?" Xiao Yan said.
Dugu Bo, seemingly realizing what was happening, appeared to understand. It's no wonder he didn't believe it. Even thousand-year-old whale glue is extremely expensive these days. No wonder Xiao Yan could casually pull out ten-thousand-year-old glue; after all, it was his master who spread the news and inflated the price.
"This stuff is good. I'm going to give it to Yanyan. I'll eat now, so I won't go with you guys." Dugu Bo said, hugging the whale glue tightly in his arms, and disappeared from the three of them.
"I've been waiting for you to say that. Who wants to eat with an old geezer?" Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue as she looked at the empty space left by him.
"I can hear you."
Dugu Bo's voice drifted to the ears of the three of them, and Xiao Wu immediately felt as if she had been exposed, her face turning red.
Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh that academy life was still the best.
……
Perhaps because the Royal Team has been confirmed, the most densely populated places for students in the entire Tiandou Academy are now either the academy's small garden or the tree-lined paths filled with flowers.
On the way back from Tiandou City, Xiao Wu, who had eaten her fill, continued to chatter incessantly. Tang San, who was used to her nonsense, listened with great interest.
One second she was telling her lover which restaurant was delicious and looked good, and the next second she changed the subject.
"Big brother, do you have a distant sister?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked, looking at the crowd of people coming and going.
"Xiao Wu, if we're talking about distant relatives, we can only call her cousin. There's no such thing as a biological sister being a distant relative," Tang San corrected.
"No, I'm an only child."
"But it really does look so similar."
"What do you mean, 'seems like'?"
"Look!" Xiao Wu said, extending her right hand and pointing to a girl in the crowd.
The other person had the same jet-black hair as Xiao Yan, and the pupils of their eyes were also a beautiful dark gold. However, in terms of facial features and appearance, they were truly a frail version of Xiao Yan.
After all, Xiao Yan had trained his body since childhood. Although he was wearing clothes, once he took them off, the marks left by muscle strains would be visible all over his body.
But the other person's skin was unusually fair, even delicate.
Seemingly sensing the gazes of Xiao Yan and the others, she looked at Xiao Yan and approached with a smile.
"Hello, senior, could you tell me which way is the Education Commission office? This is my first day reporting to the college."
"Hmm... Go straight down this road, then turn right. After you see a sculpture, just follow that road in." Xiao Yan naturally pointed out the way to the other person, but more than anything, he was surprised that the other person really did look a lot like him.
"Thanks, my name is Xiao Qiu'er, and what's yours, senior?"
"Xiao Yan".
"What a coincidence! What a fitting name. Is that your pet spirit beast on your head?"
Xiao Qiu'er ignored Tang San and Xiao Wu beside her, and reached out to touch the rolling beast on Xiao Yan's head. After it had eaten its fill, this guy used his head as a bed.
"Uh, this is my martial soul, but due to mutation, it has now left my body," Xiao Yan explained.
"Alright, Xiao Yan, see you in a few days then." Xiao Qiu'er greeted Xiao Yan familiarly, and then walked quickly in the direction he pointed.
Throughout the entire process, he continued to ignore Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were trying to speak.
"That third sister is so rude. She's obviously not the eldest brother's sister. She actually ignored Sister Xiaowu." Xiaowu muttered.
"Alright, she doesn't even know Big Brother, so of course she's not his sister. Xiao Wu, you really should stop making things up. Big Brother, don't you think so?"
However, Xiao Yan did not respond to their conversation. Instead, he smiled and looked at the two of them, saying, "Little San, the Royal Fighting Team might get even more interesting from now on."
"What do you mean, brother?"
"That girl possesses soul power fluctuations no less than mine." Xiao Yan sensed this the instant he brushed past her. He was quite certain that her soul power cultivation was even above his own.
"Brother, if you put it that way, I really feel like she's your younger sister. Otherwise, why would I feel so familiar with her when I see her?"
In the distance, Xiao Qiu'er, hiding behind a large tree, was secretly eavesdropping on the conversation of the three. A golden light was appearing and disappearing between her brows.
She wasn't displeased by Xiao Wu's words. She felt that this place wasn't as dangerous as Aunt Bi had described; on the contrary, it was quite interesting.
