Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 39 Hobbies

After seeing Xiao Yan and Yao Lao off, Xiao Bai noticed that Xun'er was looking at him with a hint of resentment.

At first, I was a little confused, but then it was as if I remembered something, and I slapped my forehead.

I just promised the little girl that I would spend the next few days with her, and now I've also promised Elder Yao that I would refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir within the next few days.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Bai took her hand and smiled gently:

"Alright, I'll be refining medicine in the courtyard for the next few days. If you're not afraid of getting bored, you can come with me, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's resentment disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face. She thought that Xiao Bai would run to the back mountain again in the next few days, and if that was the case, she would probably have a hard time seeing him before he left.

"Won't Xun'er disturb Brother Xiao Bai?"

Although the young girl was overjoyed, she couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Bai knew what she meant; she was asking if there was anything he didn't want her to know.

Looking at the sensible girl before him, Xiao Bai's eyes softened, and he said softly:

"In this world, Xun'er will always be the person Xiao Bai trusts most, and that has been true in the past, is true now, and will be true in the future!"

He's no longer worried about Ling Ying. Now, he can sense Ling Ying whenever he appears within a hundred meters of him.

However, after the last story, Xun'er seemed to have stopped bringing that guy with her every time she came to his place, and he didn't know why.

Upon hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xun'er looked at him with wide, watery eyes, deeply moved.

The next few days.

Xiao Xun'er would arrive at Xiao Bai's place very early every day, either reading a book or watching Xiao Bai refine medicine with great interest while resting her chin on her hand.

She's been very happy these past few days because she can spend time with Xiao Bai every day, which reminds her of her childhood and makes her feel like she's back in that time.

Xiao Bai kept trying to refine Foundation Building Elixir in the small courtyard.

The other medicinal herbs were fine, but the magic core had exploded several times, leaving Xiao Bai in a very sorry state.

When Xiao Xun'er first saw the medicine-refining furnace explode, and Xiao Bai's face and clothes were covered in black ash, she was filled with worry.

However, after seeing that Xiao Bai was perfectly fine, she would giggle every time she saw him explode in the oven.

Every time Xiao Bai saw this, he would gently tap her head and say with a smile, "You little ingrate!"

Xiao Xun'er didn't refute him, but just looked at him with her eyes crinkling.

However, Xiao Xun'er seemed thoughtful when she saw the clothes Xiao Bai changed every time he exploded in the oven.

Although Brother Xiao Bai always dressed neatly, his clothes always seemed quite old.

Days passed by, and finally the day agreed upon with the old medicine master arrived; we were to set off tomorrow.

At this moment, Xiao Bai looked at the jade bottles in front of him, containing a total of twelve medicinal herbs. He successfully refined seven of them, but the main problem was that the consumption of the magic core was too high, and the bottles exploded five times.

However, by this time he had also learned about using magic cores in medicine. Now, if he had twelve more medicinal materials, he couldn't guarantee success, but he could definitely refine it ten times.

From now on, he can also call himself a second-grade alchemist, since the Foundation Establishment Elixir formula given by the old alchemist was originally a peak second-grade pill.

After this transaction with the old alchemist, his alchemy skills will likely improve rapidly. After all, he now possesses all the essential qualifications required of an alchemist, lacking only knowledge and experience.

Looking around the room, Xiao Bai didn't see that beautiful figure. A little puzzled, he muttered to himself:

"Where did Xun'er go?"

He was watching intently as he refined the last batch of medicinal herbs, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He shook his head, ignoring her, and got up to deliver the Foundation Establishment Elixir to Elder Yao.

The old man probably wanted to test the effects first, so he could tell Xiao Yan how to use it while he was away.

Before Xiao Bai could even leave the house, Xun'er rushed in.

Seeing that Xiao Bai had finished refining the medicine, a smile appeared on her pretty face. She took a few graceful steps and came to stand in front of Xiao Bai, saying mysteriously:

"Brother Xiao Bai, are you still busy right now?"

Seeing her expression, Xiao Bai knew something was wrong, and said with a gentle smile:

"Everything's alright now. What's wrong? Is something wrong with Xun'er?"

Xiao Xun'er remained silent, took out several cloth bags from her storage ring, handed them to Xiao Bai, and said sweetly:

"I noticed that Brother Xiao Bai's clothes were all worn out, so I went and bought you a few outfits. Go and change into them so Xun'er can see!"

As she spoke, she stuffed the clothes into Xiao Bai's hands and pushed him toward the screen.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Xiao Bai looked at the clothes in his hand, speechless. He hadn't expected this girl to be so thoughtful.

After pushing him behind the screen, Xiao Xun'er withdrew.

Xiao Bai opened the cloth bag, looked at the clothes inside, and was a little speechless. Why were they all black?

With a sigh, I decided, "Black it is then! This is also a token of the little girl's affection."

Xiao Xun'er stood outside, full of anticipation. She originally wanted to buy white hair, but then she suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai's hair was gray-white, which matched the black clothes better, so she changed to a different color.

A moment later, Xiao Bai came out after changing his clothes, and Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Xiao Bai was dressed in a black robe with a gold pattern around the edge, looking mysterious and noble. He had a heroic air about him, with long gray hair, two strands of which hung down in front of his chest, exuding an air of authority without anger.

Compared to his gentle demeanor when wearing a white robe, he now appears more aloof and stern, his posture upright like a pine tree, and his cool and detached aura makes people hesitant to approach him.

Xiao Xun'er felt her heart racing. She had never seen Xiao Bai like this before, and she felt that his aura was too powerful.

Xiao Bai saw the girl's appearance and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

He then slowly walked towards her, his steps steady, his face cold and stern, his eyes like cold stars, exuding an air of dominance over the world.

He gently lifted her delicate chin, leaned down, and whispered in his ear in a slightly domineering tone:

"Little girl, you must remember, you belong to me. Even your breathing is related to me, understand?"

Xiao Xun'er's eyes were filled with a dazed look. From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Bai had always spoken to her in a gentle and soft voice, never with this domineering attitude. She couldn't help but think:

"No, this Xiao Bai brother in all black is too overwhelming! Xun'er can't take it!"

Suddenly, Xiao Xun'er hugged Xiao Bai tightly, burying her head in his chest and whispering softly:

"Xiao Bai...Brother!"

Xiao Bai chuckled when he saw Xun'er's expression. This girl was usually aloof and reserved, but he didn't expect her to like this domineering CEO style.

He stroked her dark hair and smiled:

"Little girl, I never knew you had this kind of hobby!"

Xiao Xun'er squirmed in his arms, her face flushed, and let out a soft moan, saying somewhat reluctantly:

"You stinky Xiao Bai brother, all you do is bully Xun'er!"

Xiao Bai held her close and whispered in her ear:

"Xiao Bai loves Xun'er so much, how could he bear to bully her!"
