XIAO SHUXIANG'S

293 - Meeting

"The big market in Big Big Dipper City is the best! I'll never get tired of coming here,"

"You're right, Big Brother Lu the Beautiful.." Yi Wen looked happy that he could wash his eyes again after every day he continued to watch the bloody fight his friends had made in the Sky Pagoda Sect.

"..But unfortunately, there was one that bothered me.." the look on Yi Wen's previously happy face immediately put on an irritated expression.

He and Xiao Lu were currently walking around in the large market of Big Dipper Star City. Not only them, but Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and Siu Yixin were also there. Especially when observed well, Xiao Lu seemed to be holding the hand of a little boy who was about five years old.

".. Why do we have to go for a walk with them, it sucks..!" Yi Wen pointed at Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and Siu Yixin using her gaze. Every time they went to the market, the three men would always come along.

".. I don't like. Take a look at that, Brother Jing is already like a big gorilla, while Hou Yong never changes, he is always short.." Yi Wen began to curse, his gaze then led to Siu Yixin.

".. And another one, the man was handsome but his clothes and makeup were too conspicuous. I feel like I'm being escorted by people from another earth,"

Yi Wen was seen puffing his cheeks, it had been the past week that he had tried hard to tease the young man in the Sky Pagoda Sect, but it had never come to fruition.

Yi Wen was actually a beautiful girl, the blackish brown hair that was only along that neck made her look sweet. Moreover, his body shape is clearly able to shake the faith.

He was wearing a covered dress, black mixed with dark blue. The clothes were made by Tianqi Mao, there would obviously be a skirt that looked fluffy, but as an interior.. Yi Wen wears tight trousers.

As the identity of the butterfly sect, he wore the robes made by his friends who had received teachings directly from Xiao Shuxiang.

The robe is patterned butterfly wings, appear dark red with the bottom end black with white spots.

Under ordinary circumstances, Yi Wen looked beautiful and no one could resist her charm. The young men who were new to him, would definitely try to get close to Yi Wen.

However, all of that could change drastically when they saw Yi Wen fighting with his sword.

The beautiful girl never left the opponent in a state of intact body, and she did not hesitate to pull out every opponent's bones while hearing their screams of pain.

In addition to all that, Yi Wen had a hobby of collecting the tongue of his opponent. He was clearly a Neutral Flow cultivator whose ruthlessness equaled that of a Black Flow cultivator. Even Xiao Lu himself often could not control Yi Wen.

".. Of the many men, why should they accompany us..? Not in the Eastern Continent, not in the Central Continent.. Always them. I need a new friend, too.." Yi Wen let out a slow breath and tried to restrain himself from condemning any more.

Xiao Lu himself inwardly said that no one would befriend a monstrous girl like Yi Wen, ".. And you're lucky that Brother Jing, Hou Yong, and Siu Yixin still want to be friends with you. When you were a kid you were a good kid, but I don't know who turned you into a horrible monster.huh.." He shook his head while slowly.

"Sister Lu Yang Beautiful, let's leave them while the three people are busy." Yi Wen pulled Xiao Lu's hand and took the long-haired and tied up girl to go somewhere else.

"No, we don't leave them. If you go berserk, I can't stop you alone. Lately you often can not control your emotions, you should start tomorrow routine do Cleansing the Heart Devil. Let's go,"

Yi Wen was seen singing her lips, this was the umpteenth time she had been given advice by Xiao Lu. It was annoying, even though he knew that Xiao Lu also had something in common with him.

The black-clothed little boy that Xiao Lu had been holding since just now continued to be silent. He always put on a calm expression as his gaze continued to pay attention to Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and Siu Yixin who seemed to be debating the name of the fruit on one of the merchants.

".. I'm not sure why his name should be like that..?"

"Brother Hou, do we have to debate this all night? Names are not the most important, but it feels like my brother. I want this one,"

Jing Mi pointed at the red-colored fruit with a thick skin, The 40-year-old merchant mistress was delighted and immediately put the selected fruit of Jing Mi into the bamboo basket.

"♪♬ I agree with Hou Yong, yo! The fruit does not look like a dragon, so why should its name be like that yo! ♩♪"

"Master, you try to watch her skin. Look at it carefully.."

The merchant lady tried to explain the name of one of her merchandise to Siu Yixin. The young man he saw was indeed handsome, only his appearance was too excessive.

Siu Yixin's clothes are yellow gold with red heron pattern, there are a lot of jewelry on both her hands and neck, she even wears bright red eyelashes. Siu Yixin was likely the only swordsman who had a strange appearance.

"What else are you arguing about..? Every day was endless," Xiao Lu asked Hou Yong and Siu Yixin not to bother about unimportant matters, they better take a walk somewhere else.

The little boy held by Xiao Lu seemed a little jolted, he was still calm-faced but his eyes immediately turned to a place, it was fixed on the large crowd.

!!

The little boy immediately let go of Xiao Lu's handrails violently and then ran away. His actions made Xiao Lu and Yi Wen surprised.

"Where are you going?! Wait, Son!"

"What's wrong with that kid?!"

Xiao Lu and Yi Wen immediately chased after the longhaired boy. They also called for Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and Siu Yixin to come along.

Far away elsewhere, it was seen Xiao Shuxiang stuffing the horse he was riding into the Universal Bracelet along with the baby he was carrying. He and his friends agreed to continue the journey on foot.

The night was getting late making the Big Dipper City more crowded. The sheer number of people did not make Xiao Shuxiang, Hu Li, Xiao Qing Yan, and O Zhan the center of attention. They seem to be able to blend in with the existing conditions.

Every now and then Xiao Shuxiang and his companions cross paths with warriors as well as cultivators, this could be seen from the weapons that the warriors were carrying.

The swordsmen who passed by Xiao Shuxiang and his companions only glanced at them at a glance. It seemed that the faces of the warriors were ordinary and instead considered that Xiao Shuxiang and his friends were a family who were spending time walking around in the city.

Xiao Qing Yan had actually never cultivated, his knowledge was minimal about the world of cultivators. The only thing he knows is.. He must seal the Devil and revive his birthplace.

Xiao Qing Yan did not seem to know that he had such a rare talent. Subconsciously, the dantian inside his body that was only as big as a fish eye continued to grow every time he fought, and only stopped after his size reached a diameter of 5 cm.

This incident made Xiao Qing Yan one of the cultivators without him noticing. Unfortunately, a place with dense Qi in the Central Continent was fairly rare. Hence Xiao Qing Yan's dantian only stored a little bit of Qi.

"Wait,"

Hu Li and Xiao Qing Yan instantly stopped stepping when they heard this sudden voice of Xiao Shuxiang.

Their friend is seen directing his gaze to some vegetable carriage that is on the side of the road.

"It's too crowded, are you sure you'll put it there?" Xiao Qing Yan warned that they could be caught if they were desperate to leave the baby in such a crowded place.

"It's precisely because the place is crowded, so we can put it there. Come,"

Xiao Shuxiang took his friend to the place where some merchants were raising his things into the carriage.

The merchants seemed to be going to travel far, they were clearly merchants who were always moving places.

Xiao Shuxiang, Hu Li, and Xiao Qing Yan took a look at the carriage that was likely suitable for the place of the Infant. Long enough they searched until O Zhan who was above Hu Li's head started to make a sound.

Pii~

Hu Li saw that one of the cars was fully loaded, and the owner of the car was talking to another merchant. Immediately he patted his Young Master's arm gently and told him what he saw.

"The train seems to be leaving, sir. I'm afraid no one will notice if you leave him there,"

Xiao Shuxiang watched carefully the carriage that Hu Li said was along with the person he believed was the owner of the carriage.

There was a man who looked to have aged, his body was thin and his face had wrinkled. The old man was still able to walk straight without the help of a cane, he seemed to be talking to two traders.

"You wait here, I'll go.."

"Be careful, Sir.."

Hu Li and Xiao Qing Yan watched Xiao Shuxiang from a distance, they occasionally circulated their gazes around, worried that anyone would be aware of what their comrade was going to do.

Xiao Shuxiang walked as usual, he still remained calm and occasionally smiled kindly as he passed by the merchant who seemed to put his things into the carriage.

As he got closer to his target, Xiao Shuxiang faintly heard the old man's talk which language he did not understand.

[".. You shouldn't trade alone. You're not young anymore, Barma. What if on the road you die and no one knows it"]

One of the men, who appeared to be 42, warned his friend to trade at home. Exploring the empire was not only exhausting, but also dangerous.

["You know how else. I don't have a son who can replace me trading. My village is also too far from the city, and most of the citizens work as farmers, they obviously don't need my vegetables.."]

The man named Barma sighed softly. Since he married until he was no longer young.. He and his wife are still without children.

[".. My wife always urged me to get married again, but even in my dreams I never thought I'd want to say no to her"]

When Barma was still talking to his friend.. Xiao Shuxiang began to slowly shake his hand until the nameless baby inside his Universal Bracelet came out.

The baby was in one of the vegetable baskets, he was seen sleeping soundly without being disturbed by the aroma of vegetables and spices are quite stinging.

What Xiao Shuxiang did lasted only a few seconds, hence he was not at all suspected. He walked back and went to where his friends were.

Xiao Shuxiang, Hu Li, and Xiao Qing Yan had just resumed their journey when they saw the Barma-owned merchant carriage start to walk.

"Young Master Xiao.. You really did it. Wouldn't you feel sad parting with that sweet baby..?"

Hu Li was actually heavy to release the little baby, even though the time they spent was not much.. But his concerns were obvious even though he suggested that his Young Master put the baby on a train that was now getting away.

"Hu Li, my heart is not that easy to melt just because of an adorable baby. And you should know that baby can't be safe with me. Anyways.." Xiao Shuxiang slightly brought himself closer to Hu Li, he then lowered his voice while looking at the descendant of Elder Da Lin who was walking in front of them.

".. Black Cats seem to still be afraid of being close to babies. I'm sure he's currently the most relieved among us for being able to part with that nameless fellow,"

The sky above Xiao Shuxiang and his companions looked star-studded, anyone who looked at him would feel a sense of peace. Merely, the market crowd seemed to attract Xiao Shuxiang more than the star-filled sky above him.

After about thirty minutes of walking-Xiao Shuxiang instantly gasped when he felt someone hit him.

"Hm?"
