Chapter 185 Another Soul Bone!

Xiao Xun'er looked up and knew that her brother Xiao Yan wouldn't just give her some simple things.

It can grow —

Does that mean it can stay with me forever?

Brother Xiao Yan's feelings—

She paid no attention to the bracelet's various abilities. In her view, what mattered most was what she cared about.

Before Xiao Xun'er could finish saying the second "brother," she heard someone's voice in her ear.

Her expression paused noticeably for a moment, then continued.

"What's wrong, Xun'er?"

"Brother Xiao Yan—is there any more of this?"

Xiao Xun'er hesitated for only a second, looking at Xiao Yan with a hint of expectation. Seeing the pause in his expression, she quickly explained, "No, it's not that Xun'er is greedy, it's just—it's just curiosity!"

Of course, this excuse is completely untenable.

Old Ling, of all times, you have to ask this.

Xiao Yan seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes flashing.

Then, he looked distressed and helpless and said, "Making this requires a lot of materials. I searched for a very long time to gather all the materials for you, Xun'er."

At this point, Xiao Xun'er was about to reply, "Never mind." Even Ling Ying, who was hiding in the shadows, felt a sudden sense of unease.

Indeed, how could something so extraordinary be so easily manufactured? Is it due to a lack of materials?

He gritted his teeth. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have tried harder to gather more materials.

But Xiao Yan was one step ahead of them.

"It's no longer available."

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, seeing the helplessness in Xiao Xun'er's heart, he smiled and added, "There aren't any as good as you, Xun'er, but there are some—that are still usable."

He took in the fluctuating aura around Xiao Yan and the expression on Xun'er's face, and then took out another external soul bone.

Although Xun'er played a visible role, the reason he was able to obtain that secret technique was probably because Ling Ying ran around everywhere.

He knew that.

The ancient tribe tried to avoid being exposed and to take action early, so it was most likely planned by only two people.

He kept this in mind, but it didn't stop him from taking advantage of loopholes.

It wasn't really exploitation; it was just bartering.

Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying's gazes suddenly fell on the white bone dagger that Xiao Yan had taken out.

Ling Ying's breathing became slightly heavier.

Xiao Xun'er raised her curious gaze, then, urged by his voice, turned her head. Just then, Xiao Yan sighed, speaking prematurely, and placed the dagger back in her hand, "Anyway, I don't need it. Xun'er, you can dispose of it for me."

Xiao Xun'er composed herself, thought for a moment, and decided that it was better to make her own—she had prepared it specially—and sure enough, Brother Xiao Yan knew!

Xiao Xun'er smiled inwardly. "Old Ling is really something. He always says bad things about Brother Xiao Yan. Now do you see? How could Brother Xiao Yan possibly forget them? How could Brother Xiao Yan possibly be that kind of person?"

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Xun'er's smile was at its brightest at this moment.

Time seemed to stand still for this moment.

"As long as Xun'er is happy."

Xiao Yan watched and responded with a smile.

Looking out over a thousand years, time seemed to slip away and it was noon.

Good time, good place.

"Brother Xiao Yan, let's go."

Xiao Xun'er got up and took Xiao Yan's hand again. Just like before, the two of them went to the Xiao family's dining hall, just like when they were children.

The so-called "opportunity" came after the two figures disappeared into the courtyard, when Ling Ying emerged from the shadows, excitedly picking up a white dagger that seemed to have been deliberately left behind.

Xiao Family Dining Hall.

Xiao Xun'er's arrival instantly drew everyone's attention.

But what's even more striking is the smile that lingered on Xiao Xun'er's lips today, and the person she was holding hands with.

The former makes boys unable to take their eyes off it, and girls envious.

The latter drew all eyes to him simultaneously. A single glance was enough to convey an incredibly gentle demeanor, instantly captivating everyone's hearts and minds.

"Is the person next to Miss Xun'er—the second genius of the Xiao family?"

"What do you mean, 'second genius'? I'm the number one genius now, have you forgotten?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The Xiao family disciples around him were chatting away, and at the same time, a thought arose in his mind: how could he be so good-looking?

They hadn't noticed it before —

Seemingly sensing the covetous look in someone's eyes, Xiao Xun'er's originally bright smile faded slightly.

"snort."

She gave a soft hum.

It's all Old Master Ling's fault. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to come out. Now that she's encountered these things, even though she's certain that Brother Xiao Yan isn't interested in them, she's still a little annoyed.

You shouldn't even think about it!

Brother Xiao Yan belongs to me.

With this feeling, Xiao Xun'er changed from pulling to hugging, wrapping the hand around her in her arms as if protecting her own offspring and asserting her ownership.

Xiao Yan felt as if he could hear the sound of countless hearts breaking in his ears for a moment.

Their impression of Miss Xun'er, who had always been gentle yet elegant and aloof, was shattered, yet the thought of "as long as she is happy" arose in their hearts.

The two were so perfectly matched that the more he looked at them, the more ashamed he felt of himself.

As a group of people lowered their gazes.

Xiao Xun'er raised her head again, and Xiao Yan also withdrew his attention from these extraneous things, giving them a quick glance.

In the dim corner, I saw a figure suddenly snap out of his daze, then lower his head and quickly walk away.

It went unnoticed by anyone.

And that figure was so familiar, including its aura.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Yan, look, your favorite food is still here! Let's order it!"

Xiao Xun'er's melodious voice came to his ears, pulling him back to reality.

Xiao Yan only answered with one word: "Okay".

Behind the Xiao family's mountain, at the giant rock.

"Knock knock knock—"

"6

A young man in black, his eyes filled with resentment, pounded the boulder again and again with his blood-stained hands.

After a long period of hammering, dried bloodstains appeared on the boulder, only to be replaced by new bloodstains.

But the damage a fist does to a stone becomes less and less.

"How could this happen—how could this happen!"

"I've been diligently cultivating! I've been diligently cultivating!"

"Why can't it stop?!"

"Second Stage of Battle Aura—what exactly is going on?!"

"Bang—!" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and punched the boulder with all his might, the sound of bones cracking faintly audible.

The scene he had just witnessed kept replaying in his mind.

The person he once thought he could never catch up with.

But now they have left him far behind.

As for the so-called number one genius, number two genius, number three genius of the Xiao family—now, in the blink of an eye, he looks like a circus clown.

No wonder — No wonder —

Xiao Yan flashed back to the scene where he had taken the initiative to challenge the other party that day, and the other party had not lingered for even a moment.

If the other party doesn't take him seriously, how could his attitude possibly attract attention?

Now—it's too late for regrets.

Xiao Yan's body went limp, and he rolled to his side, falling flat on his back under the large rock, his eyes gazing at the azure sky.

The emptiness was as lifeless as his thoughts.

"What else can I do?!"

'

Xiao Yan clenched his fist, then finally relaxed it.
