LRAB Chapter 12 I profited, so he lost.
Chapter 12 I profited, so he lost.
"I'll see what makes you so arrogant!"
Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, could no longer bear the disparity in treatment he had received over the past two months. He lost his temper and climbed over the wall into the courtyard that his father had specifically instructed him not to disturb.
However, just as Xiao Yan tiptoed closer, a few steps away from the door, a faint, suppressed inhalation reached his ears.
The voice was extremely soft, yet it carried an indescribable pain that made him involuntarily stop in his tracks.
Xiao Yan was startled, and stood on tiptoe to look through the crack in the window.
He saw the little girl who was suffering alone because of her cultivation, but because it was night and the light was poor, he couldn't see anything clearly.
Is this...is there a problem with my cultivation? Has I gone into a state of demonic possession?
No, it can't be because of me, right?
No, no, I just came in!
How could such a commotion have caused all this?
Just as Xiao Yan was filled with doubt and uncertainty, he took a half step back, somewhat regretting his decision tonight, and wanted to leave this place of trouble.
But when he took one last look at that pale, pretty face revealed in the dim light, he inexplicably pulled back the half step he had taken.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and reached out to push the door open.
"Third Young Master, it's best not to."
Xiao Yan's figure had quietly entered the courtyard at some point. Although his voice was soft, it made Xiao Yan's hand, which was about to push open the door, freeze in mid-air.
"Who?!" Xiao Yan was startled and turned around abruptly. Seeing who it was, he suppressed his shock and said stiffly, "What are you doing here?!"
But as soon as he said that, he quickly realized that he was even less qualified to question the other person, who at least could be considered a friend of Xiao Xun'er's, while he...
A mix of embarrassment and awkwardness welled up inside me.
Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Xiao Yan's hand, which he had not yet fully withdrawn. He had been cultivating in his room when a pebble suddenly broke his window. Although he did not know which Dou Huang powerhouse who did it and did not want to reveal his identity, the only one who had interacted with him and could have done such a thing was probably that person.
Therefore, he rushed over without stopping and happened to witness this scene.
But at that moment, Xiao Yan could faintly hear Xiao Xun'er's suppressed groans of pain from inside the room.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, but that was not a reason for him to sit idly by and watch someone take advantage of the situation.
In contrast, Xiao Yan, after failing to get an answer to his question, could only force himself to change the subject:
"I was just passing by outside when I heard a noise. I thought I'd come in and check it out, but I didn't intend to do anything."
I was caught red-handed while passing by inside the courtyard wall late at night.
He didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"And this sound, it's very obvious—"
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Yan interrupted him, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Third Young Master. Xun'er has a special constitution," he paused, "This is a necessary process, but she will recover soon."
As soon as he finished saying that sentence...
The suppressed groans inside the room had clearly subsided considerably.
Seeing that the other party had accepted his excuse, Xiao Yan immediately replied, "Well, that's good. Since there's nothing else, I'll be going."
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.
They seemed somewhat anxious to escape.
Xiao Yan watched this scene until Xiao Yan's figure completely disappeared into the night before letting out a quiet sigh. He didn't know if this turn of events was good or bad, but oh well.
He snapped out of his reverie and glanced at the room again.
Xiao Xun'er seemed to have recovered from the intense pain she had felt earlier, but the damp sweat on her pale face didn't lie.
Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
The two white rabbits, one lying on Xiao Xun'er's pillow and the other nestled beside her, subtly surrounded her, as if a faint golden light flickered on them.
"Huh?" He blinked, but the light vanished without a trace, as if it were just an illusion.
Before he could figure it out, Xiao Xun'er's eyelashes trembled noticeably on the bed, as if she was about to wake up.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan glanced again in the direction Xiao Yan had left, thought for a moment, and then turned to leave. He figured that unknown Dou Huang expert was probably still watching from the shadows, and it wasn't wise for him to linger.
Giving the two a place to communicate is more effective than having someone say it to you.
Soon, the courtyard returned to silence.
Xiao Xun'er slowly opened her eyes as she regulated her breathing.
She vaguely thought she had just heard conversations outside.
Who is it?
She forced herself to sit up, and the two white rabbits that had just woken up immediately came forward and nuzzled her arm affectionately.
Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er revealed a beautiful smile on her pale face. She took out a jade bottle from her storage device and poured out two pills, each worth hundreds or thousands of gold coins in the outside world.
She fed the pills to the rabbits, watching them sniff them gently before obediently swallowing them.
Her gaze then turned to the figure that had been standing quietly in the shadows of the room.
"Miss." Ling Ying, a powerful Dou Huang who served as the guardian, knelt down to pay her respects, her voice hoarse yet clear.
"What just happened?"
Xiao Xun'er's voice still sounded somewhat weak.
Ling Ying recounted how Xiao Yan had spied on them in the courtyard and how Xiao Yan had appeared to help them out.
Xiao Xun'er listened quietly, her eyes lowered as if deep in thought.
Then, she turned her gaze back to the two white rabbits nestled beside her, and a faint smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Has anything been found out?"
She asked softly, her fingertips gently tracing the rabbit's supple back, "What bloodline do the big rabbit and the little rabbit belong to?"
She noticed it by chance more than a month ago.
Whenever she suffered the backlash of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame after cultivating, these two rabbits would snuggle up beside her, inexplicably soothing and adapting to the chaotic and turbulent fighting spirit within her body. Although the relief effect was limited, it genuinely made her feel much better.
As a result, they became increasingly close to her.
Ling Ying remained silent for a moment, scrutinizing the two seemingly ordinary white rabbits, before finally shaking her head.
"I have reviewed many records and observed secretly for a long time, but I have never found a match. However, the fact that it does not exist is good proof."
"Perhaps it is the bloodline of some ancient mythical beast."
"Ancient mythical beast?"
Xiao Xun'er murmured, not surprised by the answer, and smiled with her head down, "It seems like I made a profit, I only used less than 500 gold coins."
"I made a profit, so he lost..."
……
Back in the room.
The strange image of the two white rabbits kept flashing through Xiao Yan's mind; he was absolutely certain he hadn't seen it wrong.
Speaking of which, do the soul beasts in Douluo Continent have different bloodlines?
Yes, absolutely!
Some spirit beasts are born powerful, but...
Lifespan is the fundamental factor determining a soul beast's value! This includes bloodline; the longer a soul beast lives, the higher its bloodline level, and soul beasts inherently have long lifespans.
And without the restriction of heavenly tribulation, then!
"It seems I've given away two incredible things."
