Chapter 50: I Thought of You as a Brother, but You Want to Marry Me?
Xiao Yun was tied up. It was clear that Ji Changle treated Xiao Yun and Su Lingxi very differently.
Xiao Yun’s hands were tied to a pillar. His mouth was not gagged, but he didn’t dare to speak recklessly.
The reason was that he was afraid of the bald man’s vicious biochemical weapon.
Su Lingxi had never had a chance to talk to Xiao Yun. Finally, one day, Ji Changle and the others went out to work again.
This time, Su Lingxi found an excuse to get rid of the guard. She secretly came to Xiao Yun’s place but did not get close immediately.
Because there was also a person watching over Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun was so carefree that he could fall asleep even when tied up like this. His snores, combined with the unique echo of the cave, were like a symphony.
The guard was originally a little sleepy, but he was so annoyed by the noise that he finally couldn’t take it anymore. A shoe sole flew over. “Stop making noise. I can’t even sleep.”
Xiao Yun was hit in the face. He woke up with a start and saw the guard. He chuckled. “Hey, that’s how I sleep. What, you’re going to hit me?”
“Yo ho, you think this is your home?”
The guard picked up the shoe sole and was about to teach this ignorant old boy a lesson. Seeing that he was serious, Xiao Yun quickly said with a fawning smile, “Bro… you’re my bro. I was just joking. I won’t sleep. If you’re tired, you can rest.”
“I definitely won’t make a sound. And I can’t run away, can I?”
As Xiao Yun spoke, he also showed off the tightly tied hemp rope. He also had a spiritual artifact that restricted his spiritual energy.
“Heh, no one who has entered this cave has ever escaped.”
The guard was too lazy to check his things. Besides, this was their line of work.
If they really let him run away, they would have to drink the northwest wind.
The guard stopped talking and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. “I wonder how Sister Yuebai is doing here…”
Su Lingxi had been holding back her laughter in the back for a long time. Finally.
Finally, one day, Xiao Yun would be told off for his snoring. Actually, there was nothing wrong with snoring.
But because of this terrain… that echo… it was really harsh.
Seeing that the guard was really asleep, Su Lingxi poked her little head out from behind a rock. “Hey… Big Brother Xiao…”
Xiao Yun’s ears were also very sharp, and the surrounding environment was originally very quiet. He quickly discovered Su Lingxi’s presence.
His eyes were full of surprise as he whispered, “Sister Yuebai…”
Su Lingxi tiptoed to Xiao Yun’s side. “Big Brother Xiao, how did you get caught?”
Xiao Yun fell into reminiscence. “Sigh, don’t mention it. I was buying goods for the sect that day and happened to encounter an avalanche.”
“You know, we outer court disciples who do odd jobs don’t have high cultivation. When we encounter an avalanche, we can only consider ourselves unlucky.”
“And that’s not all. I happened to run into this group of robbers. They took all our things, and a few new junior brothers were buried in the snow, their fate unknown.”
As Xiao Yun spoke, he was a little sad. It was clear that he thought he had to take responsibility for the situation.
“As soon as these people came out, I suspected that they had caused the avalanche. I cursed them a few times.”
“And most of these people are at the Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment realms. That bald man and the balding man are a little better, at the Golden Core realm.”
“But… that woman… she actually cultivates a lightning-type spiritual technique, and her strength is also above mine. I suspect she is from the Purple Cloud Nation.”
Xiao Yun’s eyes flickered. The strange purple lightning in that woman’s palm had made his body go numb and he had collapsed to the ground the moment it touched him.
Su Lingxi also knew of the Purple Cloud Nation. It was a country located in the eastern part of the Mortal Realm continent, and the lightning element was active in its territory. Therefore, it was named the Purple Cloud Nation, and most of its cultivators also cultivated the lightning element.
“As for the origin of these people, I’ve actually guessed most of it,” Xiao Yun said thoughtfully.
“Oh? What do you mean, Big Brother Xiao?” Su Lingxi asked curiously. She had been here for a while and knew nothing except for what she had overheard from the conversation between the bald man and the balding man.
Ji Changle had never told her these things.
“Besides that woman, the bald man and the balding man use an earth-type spiritual technique. The earth-type spiritual technique is unique to the Rock Nation. Their defense is like a turtle’s.”
“Although I’m just an outer court disciple of the Snowfall Sect, I also know a little about the outside world.”
“The Rock Nation and the Purple Cloud Nation have been at war for some years. I suspect that these people are refugees who have come to our Canglan Nation.”
Xiao Yun said faintly, but he was also a victim.
This world… sigh… I really don’t know what to say…
“What about you, Sister Yuebai? How did you get caught?”
“That brat Su Lingxi said you wouldn’t be back for a long time. I didn’t expect you to be caught. Tha damned brat actually left you alone without a care..”
“You’ve wasted your love on him.”
When Xiao Yun thought of Luo Chuxue also being taken by Su Lingxi, his liver hurt.
Su Lingxi: “…”
“I was also caught by accident.”
“Then did they do anything to you?” Xiao Yun sized up Su Lingxi. He had to admit that Su Lingxi looked very good in this animal hide.
“No, no, I was just a maid for two days.” Su Lingxi was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun let out a long sigh. “Sister Yuebai, I’m afraid we won’t have a good end being trapped here. There are some things I want to tell you early.”
“What?” Seeing Xiao Yun suddenly become sentimental, Su Lingxi didn’t know what to say.
Xiao Yun’s eyes darted around, and then he gritted his teeth. “Sister Yuebai, that brat Su Lingxi already had another dao companion when you were away.”
“And now that you’re caught here, he doesn’t care about you at all. Although we’re unlucky, it’s also a kind of fate to meet here.”
“Why don’t we…” At this, Xiao Yun hesitated and looked at Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi was a little helpless. “Big Brother Xiao, just say what you have to say.”
“Why don’t we… take the heavens as our witness and the earth as our proof. I’ll marry you, and you’ll marry me.”
“This way, we’ll have a companion on the road to the underworld.”
“Anyway, you and that kid haven’t made a marriage contract. I’ll take a little loss…”
Xiao Yun said a lot to Su Lingxi with deep affection, and he was almost moved to tears himself.
The corner of Su Lingxi’s mouth twitched. The thought of her marrying Xiao Yun made her feel nauseous.
And, you brat, you’re actually saying you’re taking a loss…
Su Lingxi rolled her eyes at him. And to think she had wanted to escape with him.
“Sister Yuebai, what do you think?” Xiao Yun asked with a uneasy heart.
“I don’t think much of it. You can just stay here!”
Su Lingxi dropped a sentence and left. I thought of you as a brother, but you actually want to marry me.
Xiao Yun felt that Su Lingxi was a little angry and was a little puzzled. “Could it be… my beard has grown again?”
