Chapter 3 Xiao Ding
Utan City is worthy of being one of the large cities of the Gama Empire, and its popularity is extremely hot, although it is now a scorching sun, but on the streets, the flow of people is still turbulent, and even some strange races can be seen occasionally.
"Why does Xiao Yueyue suddenly want to come with her mother?" Walking on the crowded street, Zhao Yi suddenly lowered his head and asked Xiao Yue, who was holding his hand, with a look of curiosity on her pretty face.
"It's very boring in the family, and no one plays with me!Also, I want to see where my mother works!" said him, with a cheering look on his little face, pretending to look around!
"Oh...!" Nodding, Zhao Qi was suddenly a little silent, the palm holding Xiao Yue's small hand tightened slightly, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
She also knew that because she often went out to work and work, she naturally ignored Xiao Yue, and she would feel a little lonely to leave him alone in the family!
Feeling the strangeness of the other party, Xiao Yue felt a little strange, and thought that she had revealed a flaw somewhere, but if you think about it carefully, there should be no abnormality in her appearance today!
He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious......
For more than a month since he was reborn, because of his sense of urgency for the future at the beginning, he has been immersed in penance in the family, and he has not yet taken a step out of the family!
Today, on an inexplicable whim, he felt that he wanted to experience the customs of this world, after all, in his previous life, he couldn't live like a normal person because of illness, which made him feel envious and regretful!
In this life, he felt that in addition to cultivation, he should also experience the hustle and bustle of this world, even if he couldn't escape the fate of his body in the end, it would not be in vain to come to this world for a trip!
So, taking advantage of the opportunity to suspend classes today, he endured his nausea, and came out with Zhao Yi, who was coquettish and cute, and came out with Zhao Yi, but although Zhao Yi was a little surprised by this, he didn't refuse!
The mother and son turned around a few times in the wide street, and finally walked into the Fang Market, which was controlled by the Xiao family. The Xiao family not only manages the territory here, but also many shops are run by the family themselves, and Xiao Yue's mother manages a medicinal herb shop in it.
Although Zhao Yi is only twenty-three or four years old, he is already a respected nine-star fighter, this kind of strength may not be called a strong person in Utan City, but it is no problem to stand alone!
Some ordinary martial artists generally don't provoke her, let alone make trouble in the pharmacy she manages, after all, Zhao Yi already has this kind of extraordinary strength at such a young age, and such a talent can be regarded as extremely excellent in the entire empire! Others may not be afraid of her who is only a nine-star fighter now, but what about in the future? With her talent, she will definitely become stronger in the future, if she still holds a grudge at that time, it will be a tragedy to run back to take revenge!
What made Xiao Yue full of sadness was that his biological mother obviously had such an excellent talent, but she didn't pass it on to him at all! And as far as he knew, although his dead father was only in his twenties when he died, he was also a genuine fighter and his cultivation talent was obviously more outstanding, but he also didn't pass on this talent to him! So since he was reborn, Xiao Yue wondered more than once if his body was their own?
"Hey...... Little leaves!"
Just as Xiao Yue tilted her little head and looked curiously at this novel world, a loud hearty cry suddenly sounded behind her.
Xiao Yue was stunned and turned her head to look behind her. saw that it was Xiao Li's guy, and there were five or six small ghosts big and small beside him. In addition to the two little children who were also studying in the academy, the other three were obviously much older, and one of them, a teenager about ten years old, particularly caught Xiao Yue's attention.
With a slight chuckle, the little face gives people a sense of warmth and intimacy! Although he is young, he inexplicably has a calmness and demeanor that his peers do not have, and this teenager is the eldest brother of the protagonist... Xiao Ding!
"Ah, is it?" Zhao Qi also noticed a few teenagers behind him, tilted his head, and chuckled.
"Huh?" Xiao Yue nodded.
"Aunt Yi!"
Xiao Li led a few people to Xiao Wen's mother and son, took the lead in greeting Zhao Yi, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Yue and teased: "Yo! Xiao Yezi! Don't you like to stay at home and not go out? The sun is coming out in the west today, why don't you stay at home!"
"Well, where are you going?" Xiao Yue didn't bother to answer his words, answered casually, and then changed the subject.
"Didn't you have no class today? My brother took us out for a walk! He said he was an eye-opener!" Xiao Li replied with a smile, not at all.
In his opinion, the two of them are of the same race after all, although Xiao Yue always seems withdrawn and unsociable, and the two rarely have any contact, but since they have met, it is still necessary to say hello.
Zhao Yi's bright and moving eyes looked at Xiao Yue thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Xiao Yueyue also goes to play with everyone!
"Ahh
As if he hadn't noticed Xiao Yue's reaction, Zhao Yi continued to Xiao Ding: "Can I trouble you?"
"No problem!Please don't be so polite!" Xiao Ding hurriedly said humbly, seeing that the other party actually bowed down to one of his juniors and begged, how dare Xiao Ding refuse, besides, this is just a trivial matter for him.
"Thank you so much!" Zhao Yi chuckled.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? You didn't ask my opinion, just casually promised me! What's so fun with this group of little kids, it's really!" Seeing that the two of them ignored it directly, Xiao Yue scolded helplessly.
But since Zhao Yi took the initiative to propose it, and Xiao Ding also agreed, then he was embarrassed to save their face!
So, Xiao Yue walked towards Xiao Ding and the others, waving her hand at Zhao Yi.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile, and suddenly, it was as bright as a spring blossom and as bright as an autumn moon, which made Xiao Ding's faces blush slightly when they saw this scene.
"Hello Xiao Ding clan brothers! Hello clan brothers!" Xiao Yue looked timid and greeted everyone.
Xiao Ding came back to his senses, nodded, and smiled at him! Several other older teenagers couldn't help but touch Xiao Yue's cute little head, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of this kid who looked very well-behaved and polite.
The reason why Xiao Yue called them clan brothers instead of cousins was because his mother was not a member of the Xiao family at all, but a foreigner who married into the Xiao family! The dead cheap father had no brothers and sisters in the family, but there were many distant relatives such as the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt!
It's also strange to say that the Xiao family always has cousins and cousins in the same generation, and there are a lot of cousins and cousins, all of whom are uncles, aunts, and aunts, and the relationship is messy.
The upper echelons of the family seem to encourage intermarriage, but it is not forced. Although the clansmen were very puzzled by this, in Xiao Yue's mind, it was probably a measure implemented by the middle and upper echelons of the clan in order to keep the family's bloodline pure!
Maybe they still have the naΓ―ve fantasy that they still have the blood of the Dou Emperor in their bodies! It's a pity that in the eyes of Xiao Yue, who has long known all the reasons, it is purely a joke!
However, Xiao Yue can understand it somewhat, after all, I'm afraid that even the Dou Sheng's bloodline can't help but crave it!
Along the way, Xiao Yue just quietly followed behind these little ghosts, watching them make noise and noise, and did not interject, looking a little shy! At first, Xiao Li would turn his head and say a few words to him, but he responded casually, which made Xiao Li feel bored, and slowly he didn't bother to pay attention to him, but Xiao Yue was also happy, at least his ears were much quieter.
Out of the Xiao family's Fang City, into a prosperous avenue located in the center of the city, as the main road of Utan City, but also the most prosperous commercial area of Utan City, this piece of land is no longer the three major families can interfere, but completely directly controlled by the imperial official, its prosperity is better than the Fang City in charge of the three families, which is also the reason why Xiao Ding did not take them to stay in the Xiao family's Fang City, but came here directly, and in fact, the prosperity here does make Xiao Yue and them flawless.
Here, there are the most high-end restaurants, workshops, various shops in the city, and even the largest auction venue in Utan City, the Temir Auction House is also located here!
However, for these, Xiao Ding and they didn't pay attention to it after a glance, after all, with their current net worth, even if they have the heart to go in, I'm afraid they can only sigh.
So the bear children turned their eyes to the large and small beaches on the side of the road, for some warriors or merchants who do not have the strength to rent shops, they only need to pay some commissions to the city lord's mansion to conduct safe transactions in the open, this is undoubtedly the cheapest and most practical way, this kind of beach compared to the serious shops, not only does it look low-grade, but even the quality of the goods traded is generally difficult to guarantee, and the shoddy ones are countless, but the price required for the transaction is also much lower than that of the serious shops.
This group of bear children walked towards some stalls that seemed to sell strange things, stopping and stopping, looking at this and touching, provoking several beach owners almost to curse, and then turned to the next one without care, and continued to harm others.
Following the little ghosts through several stalls, Xiao Yue's footsteps suddenly stopped, bent down and looked at a bead the size of a dragon's eye and a slightly gray color on the stall, her pure and innocent eyes flashed a hint of different color, and a strange desire suddenly rose in her heart.
Stretched out his fingers to pick up the gray and white bead, his fingers gently rubbed the rough surface of the bead, and asked timidly at the middle-aged man behind the vendor who looked a little obscene, "Uncle, how do you sell this thing?"
Looking at the pink and jade child in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in the obscene man's eyes, and then he introduced earnestly: "Hehe, the little brother's eyesight is good, don't look at this bead is inconspicuous, but it was dug up from the corpse of a third-order demonic beast, how terrifying is a third-order demonic beast!
"If the little brother takes a fancy to it, it only takes a hundred gold coins, hehe, in order to buy this bead, I paid a full ninety gold coins, and even then I got it after pestering the other party for a long time!
The corners of her mouth twitched, Xiao Yue stared straight at the lewd man with pure eyes, and cursed wildly in her heart: "Grandma's bear!
"Ahh
"Hey, I just think it's pretty good, but I don't know it's so expensive!" Xiao Yue blinked and said innocently. While reluctantly putting the beads back in their place.
"Good-looking?"
Listening to Xiao Yue's words, Xiao Li glanced at the bead again, then turned his head to stare at him, half a sound, and said to Xiao Yue with a sympathetic and complicated gaze.
ββ¦β¦ Your taste is so special!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Xiao Yezi, do you really want this thing?" Xiao Ding, who came behind the two of them at some point, suddenly said loudly.
"Yes, Brother Xiao Ding, I like this thing a lot!" her eyes flashed without a trace, and Xiao Yue looked up at Xiao Ding and said regretfully.
Nodding, Xiao Ding looked at the lewd man with an indifferent face and said: "Let's talk about the real price, don't talk about a hundred gold coins, just give you ten gold coins for this broken thing! If you think we are young and easy to deceive! Then you can try, but you have to understand the consequences of daring to deceive the Xiao family!"
Although Xiao Ding's tone was flat, the content was a real threat.
"Uh...!" the lewd man's face suddenly froze, and a pair of triangular eyes kept rolling.
After half a ring, the lewd man sneered at Xiao Ding and said, "That... It turns out that all the little brothers are from the Xiao family! That's really a mistake, if you say it earlier, I wouldn't dare to open my mouth indiscriminately! Then follow what this little brother said about ten gold coins! Hehe...!"
Xiao Ding nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Xiao Yue, as if asking for his opinion!
Touching the pocket in the clothes without a trace, Xiao Yue's cute little face couldn't help but show a touch of embarrassment, it turned out that he forgot to ask Zhao Yi for pocket money when he left, and now the whole body adds up to less than two gold coins, it's just too embarrassing...
"That's... Brother Xiao Ding, can you borrow some money?" Xiao Yue turned red slightly, and asked with some twist, this time he didn't pretend.
ββ¦β¦β
"Haha......!"
The strange expression on Xiao Li's face and the laughter of other little ghosts made Xiao Yue even more embarrassed at this moment!
Xiao Ding also couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and nodded at him in agreement, this money is really not worth mentioning for him, the son of the patriarch!
Reaching out and taking out ten gold coins from his arms, he threw them to the lewd man, then picked up the beads and handed them to Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue hurriedly smiled gratefully at him, and was about to take the beads, when suddenly a male duck's voice with a nasal voice sounded behind several people.
"Wait! I want this thing, put it down!"
Xiao Yue's outstretched hand suddenly stiffened, and then she took the beads handed by Xiao Ding without hesitation, and followed Xiao Ding and they all turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
But I saw a little kid who was about the same age as Xiao Yue, six or seven years old snorting snot, with slugs hanging from the corners of his mouth, looking at Xiao Ding and the two brothers sneering proudly, and also carrying seven or eight teenagers behind him.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Xiao Yue's mouth twitched, and she scolded in her heart: "Banana, you bala! I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, it seems that I am going to be caught in the pond!"
