Chapter 255: Seeing an Old Friend Again
After several experiments, it was finally confirmed that this method was feasible. This result made Su Yan pleasantly surprised.
To be able to do happy things with his senior sister and also help her improve her strength… it was a win-win situation. Why not?
It was just that this happy experience did not last long. Su Yan fell into a state of extreme emptiness, because the spiritual jewelry and treasures were gone. If he continued to do that with his senior sister, he would have to pay with his own life.
“Even if you agree, I won’t.”
Although becoming stronger was important, and that kind of thing was also very comfortable, Xiao Wu couldn’t bear to let him get hurt.
“I have my limits. Of course, I know the priorities.”
Su Yan said irritably. Was he that horny of a person? Without the enhancement of soul-type treasures, of course, he wouldn’t dare to do that!
“The nearby area has already been collected. Either that or it already has an owner and won’t be sold for any amount of spirit stones. Why don’t we go out and look?”
Su Yan had just broken through not long ago. Now was the time to consolidate his strength. Since he was idle, he wanted to go and collect this kind of treasure.
Xiao Wu had no objections. Having cultivated to her level, it was impossible to make any more progress just by sitting in meditation. Rather than staying in the sect, it was better to go out with her junior brother.
It had been a long time since she had gone on a long trip with her junior brother. This time, even if there was no gain, it was worth it to go out and relax together.
Xiao Wu told her Master her plan, and Bai Shuixin agreed directly. Now, Xiao Wu was no longer the little girl she used to be. She had enough powerful strength, and she was completely at ease with her.
After some simple preparations, Xiao Wu took Su Yan and left the sect. Their first stop was Tianheng. This was the largest city nearby, with countless cultivators gathered. The chances of finding treasure were the greatest.
Because her cultivation had improved again, Xiao Wu’s light speed had increased several times. It only took half a day to bring Su Yan here.
“It’s so lively here.”
Looking at the city below, Su Yan’s beautiful eyes showed a look of amazement.
“Let’s go down.”
Xiao Wu took Su Yan and landed on the ground. Cultivators came and went here, and the people around were already used to it. They just glanced at them and then no longer paid them any attention.
Su Yan had hidden his appearance at this time and could run around as he pleased, without having to worry about attracting a crowd.
“Should we go and find clues about the treasure first, or should we just wander around?”
Xiao Wu turned her head and asked.
“Let’s just wander around. Let’s see if there’s anything fun or delicious.”
Su Yan said with a smile.
Finding treasure was a long and arduous task. As cultivators, they had enough time and didn’t need to be in such a hurry.
“Mm-hmm.”
Of course, Xiao Wu doted on Su Yan. As long as it didn’t violate her principles, she would gladly agree.
Tianheng City was very large and prosperous. Su Yan pulled Xiao Wu and wandered around, finding many delicious things.
“This is not bad. That one looks delicious too. Eh, what’s that smell over there? It’s so fragrant! Let’s go and have a look.”
Su Yan bought a lot of things, a whole bunch of snacks and delicacies, and stuffed them all into Xiao Wu’s arms, taking up half of her storage bag.
“You really have a lot of energy!”
Xiao Wu followed Su Yan and sighed helplessly. She found that her junior brother seemed to like shopping, especially for food.
Logically, there was nothing wrong with this hobby, because she had enough money to let her junior brother squander. But to make her carry all the things he bought… this was really a headache.
“Anyway, it’s your storage bag. What does it matter?”
“You also have a storage ring. Why don’t you keep it yourself?”
“Ah, this…”
Su Yan fell silent and giggled, hugging Xiao Wu’s waist.
“Don’t think this trick will work. You’re just afraid that the smell of food will stain your things.”
The space in a storage item was not static. If you mixed food with other objects, the result could almost be imagined.
“You can just eat them all.”
“You think I can eat it all?”
Su Yan scratched his head and rubbed his cheek against hers.
Xiao Wu was helpless. So you’re going to use your hands when you can’t win with words, right? But there was no other way. Who was to blame for him being her junior brother?
The two of them stayed in Tianheng City for a long time, bought a lot of local products, and also spent some time looking for treasure. But it was a great pity that they still hadn’t found any soul-type treasures.
“Let’s go to the next place.”
Xiao Wu suggested.
Su Yan nodded. He was tired of playing here. It was time to change places.
Next, Su Yan and Xiao Wu went to many places, from a border city full of wind and sand to a frighteningly cold iceberg and snow country.
There were still no clues about the treasure that could nourish the soul, but to be able to see different scenery, Su Yan had already decided that this trip was not in vain.
“If I just stayed in the sect, how could I see the vastness of the world?”
Su Yan sighed with emotion on the top of the snow mountain. Xiao Wu nodded in deep agreement.
The journey continued. Su Yan and Xiao Wu had no destination and came to a strange region. When Su Yan saw the lightning on the horizon, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
“Is this a divine beast?”
Su Yan suddenly remembered. Many years ago, he had once adopted a fox. Its home was here.
Xiao Wu took out a map, looked at it carefully, and then nodded.
“This is indeed the Narukami Continent.”
Getting an affirmative answer, Su Yan said excitedly, “Since we’re here, why don’t we go and see it?”
“It? You have an acquaintance here?”
Xiao Wu’s face was bewildered. Her junior brother was an orphan, and his interpersonal relationships were very simple. How did she not know that he still had friends?
“Honestly, you’ve forgotten…”
Su Yan shot her an annoyed glare and recounted what had happened back then.
The more Xiao Wu listened, the more familiar it sounded. She suddenly remembered that such a thing had indeed happened back then. Her junior brother had been abducted by someone, and she had been the one to save him.
“You want to go and see her?”
Thinking of that vixen, Xiao Wu’s expression was a little unpleasant.
“She’s my friend. I’m just going to see her. I don’t have that kind of feeling for him. We’ve been together for so long. Don’t you know me yet?”
Hearing Su Yan say this, Xiao Wu’s expression improved a lot. But she was still not at ease.
“You don’t have feelings for others, but that doesn’t mean others don’t have feelings for you!”
Xiao Wu thought of what the little fox had once done, and her heart was a little worried. But she was no longer her former self. It would be fine if that fellow was just a junior brother. But if he dared to have improper thoughts, even her mother couldn’t protect her.
Unclear of Xiao Wu’s thoughts, Su Yan pulled her and flew towards the fox clan’s territory.
The Narukami Continent had lightning all year round, and the sky was not very safe. But for the current Xiao Wu, it was no problem to even take a bath in the lightning. So they did not have any scruples and flew quickly, soon arriving at their destination.
“Who are you?”
The guard of the fox clan’s territory questioned.
“I am Su Yan of the Transcendent Immortal Sect, a friend of your young master. Can you inform her?”
“The young master’s friend?”
Hearing this, the fox clan guard did not dare to be negligent and quickly went to report the news. Before long, someone came back and respectfully invited them in.
“This way, esteemed guests.”
The fox clan guard was in front, and Xiao Wu and Su Yan followed. They passed through a long corridor and came to a spacious main hall.
“Esteemed guests, please wait for the young master here. The young master will be here shortly.”
The guard withdrew.
Su Yan poured a cup of tea and waited while admiring the surrounding scenery.
About an incense stick’s time passed when the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. A very lively and cute fox-eared girl ran in. When she saw Su Yan, her eyes lit up, and she flew towards him.
They hadn’t seen each other for many years, so it was reasonable to be excited. Su Yan did not dodge, but Xiao Wu was different.
“Get lost.”
She flashed in front of the young girl, pressed a hand on her forehead, and stopped her in her tracks.
“Sob, sob, sob! Let me go!”
Hu Xiaoyu wanted to hug Su Yan but was stopped by Xiao Wu, which made her so wronged that she almost cried.
“That’s enough. You should know that he’s mine. We’re already married.”
Xiao Wu said coldly.
Hu Xiaoyu’s eyes turned red. She had been paying attention to the news of Su Yan. How could she not know about this?
“I know he’s your person. But we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Can’t I just give him a hug to express my excitement?”
“No!”
Xiao Wu said with determination. Are you kidding me? You want to hug him just because you say so? You’re not taking me seriously.
“How mean.”
Hu Xiaoyu said angrily, her hands on her hips as she glared at her.
“Alright, alright. You two stop arguing.”
Su Yan came up to smooth things over. He looked at Hu Xiaoyu and said, “We haven’t seen each other for so many years. You’re still so small.”
“Ooh.”
Hearing Su Yan’s words, Hu Xiaoyu nodded with disappointment. Their demon race’s development time was long. There was nothing she could do about it.
“Did you come here specifically to find me this time? Is it because you missed me?”
The sadness only lasted for a moment. Hu Xiaoyu looked up and asked.
Su Yan was embarrassed. He had just come here by coincidence. In fact, if it weren’t for seeing the tears, he might have forgotten about this person.
But of course, he couldn’t say the truth. Looking at the little one’s expectant eyes, Su Yan nodded.
“Uh, yes. I came here specifically to see you.”
“I knew it.”
Hu Xiaoyu smiled with satisfaction.
Xiao Wu shot him a fierce glare.
“Hug, hug. Just let her be happy.”
Su Yan sent a voice transmission secretly.
“I’ll deal with you when we get back.”
Xiao Wu snorted coldly and did not say any more.
Su Yan and Hu Xiaoyu began to talk, talking about what had happened to each of them over the years.
Hu Xiaoyu didn’t have much to say. She had been cultivating in the clan all this time, occasionally going out to gain experience. Now she was already at the early Nascent Soul stage and felt very good about herself.
“That’s amazing.”
Su Yan smiled and did not reveal his own realm. If the little one knew, it would be bad if she was hit psychologically.
“That’s how I’ve been these past few years. What about you?”
The little fox asked curiously.
Su Yan talked about his own affairs.
Of course, he would definitely not tell her everything but would be selective, only talking about his travels and the trivial matters of his daily life. The little one listened with great interest.
