How could Ryoei understand a girl's thoughts? He had spent his entire life on cultivation and had never taken a wife.
Although he had always been by Miss's side, he really did not understand what she was thinking.
In desperation, he could only look at Ling Xiao, as if to say, "You'll solve the problem yourself, or I'll deal with you."
Under the threat of Ryoei's old eyes, Ling Xiao had no choice but to fly over.
Ryoei waved at the others, and they all retreated, leaving only the young man and woman in the world.
Ling Xiao rubbed his hands and revealed an awkward expression, "Uh … Um, can you stop crying?"
Lie Ruyu turned around and ignored Ling Xiao, continuing to cry. Her eyes were red, and she looked very pitiful.
"Missy, I beg you, can you stop crying? Otherwise, people will think that I'm bullying you," Ling Xiao begged.
Now that he thought about it, did he go too far just now? In any case, he was also a man, why did he have to make things difficult for a rich missy like her?
Great, now he had to spend his breath to comfort her.
Although he was kind, handsome, and pure … But he did not know how to comfort this kind of unruly missy!
Usually, it was the women who comforted him!
The more Ling Xiao persuaded, the louder Lie Ruyu cried, as if she wanted to cry until the sky fell and the earth cracked.
Ling Xiao could not take it anymore. This was definitely a woman's greatest killing power, and he had no way to resist it!
"Missy, I beg you, can you stop crying? Just now, my mouth was cheap, I shouldn't have scolded you, I shouldn't have hit you, why don't you hit me to vent your anger?"
"Don't be like this, you don't want to hit me?
Then tell me your condition, as long as I can do it, you can do whatever you want, I'm still a virgin! "
"Hey, hey, I said that's enough, if you do this again … I won't care about you anymore."
… …
Lie Ruyu's heart was filled with complicated feelings!
She didn't know why, but she just wanted to see Ling Xiao's anxious look, as if all her grievances were disintegrating and dissipating bit by bit.
She recalled how cool Ling Xiao looked when he snatched the branch and how he had been pretending to be a rich young master recently. She recalled the moment when he scolded her just now. She realized that other than being a little lecherous, a little annoying, and a little weak, this man still had some good points. At least when he comforted people, he was a little cute!
If Ling Xiao had heard her words, he would have strongly objected, "Girl, you're getting it backwards!"
Ling Xiao comforted her for an hour until his saliva was dry, but Lie Ruyu kept crying.
This time, he was extremely annoyed!
"Enough! If you cry again, I'll spank you again!" Ling Xiao roared angrily.
This time, it really worked. Lie Ruyu immediately stopped crying and covered her buttocks with both hands, afraid that Ling Xiao would hit her again.
"You … Why don't you have any tender feelings for the fairer sex!" Lie Ruyu glared at Ling Xiao angrily.
Seeing that Lie Ruyu had stopped crying, Ling Xiao immediately said, "Please, you're a man now!"
After a pause, he said, "Alright, I admit that I was wrong to hit you just now. You can tell me how you want to punish me, but if you want to kill me, I won't let you off easily!"
Ling Xiao didn't want to go crazy with Lie Ruyu, so he immediately declared.
Lie Ruyu clenched her fists and glared at Ling Xiao. In the end, her beautiful eyes turned misty again, and she looked like she was about to cry again.
Ling Xiao immediately surrendered and said, "Alright, alright, if you want to kill me or cut me up, it's up to you!"
After saying that, Ling Xiao closed his eyes, looking like he was ready to be ravaged.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao smelled a fragrant scent, and his heart suddenly turned cold. He wailed, "Today you've tainted my innocence. How am I going to face people in the future!"
Ah!
Just as Ling Xiao thought of this possibility, he felt a pain on his arm.
It turned out that Lie Ruyu didn't want to force herself on him, but she used her pearly white teeth to bite Ling Xiao's arm.
In order to discourage Lie Ruyu, Ling Xiao didn't use his Qi, so he let her bite him. Golden blood flowed out of his arm.
After a long time, Lie Ruyu slightly blushed and let go of Ling Xiao's arm. She really didn't expect that she would do such a childish thing instead of killing him in one move.
"Are you a dog or a wolf? You bit me so hard!" Ling Xiao said as he touched his wound.
Lie Ruyu said angrily, "I'm a tiger, I'll bite you to death, you perverted thief!"
Ling Xiao shook his head and sighed, "That was a misunderstanding. It was a mission that the Vice Dojo Master gave me. Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain it to you. Let's go meet up with Elder Yong and the others."
"Hey, you … wait!" Lie Ruyu called out to Ling Xiao.
"Eldest Miss, you can call me Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao's Ling, Ling Xiao's Smile. Thank you!" Ling Xiao emphasized.
"Pfft, pfft." Lie Ruyu couldn't help but laugh when she heard Ling Xiao's explanation. That handsome man's face was filled with charm.
Lie Ruyu knew that she had lost her composure and quickly retracted her smile. She then said, "You … Can you stay with me and talk to me? I … Did I do something wrong?"
Ling Xiao didn't expect that Lie Ruyu would actually admit her mistake. This wasn't the eldest miss's character!
"This … Actually, you didn't do anything wrong. There were too many!" Ling Xiao couldn't be bothered to say anything more about this big-breasted brainless girl.
"That's still wrong!"
Lie Ruyu said with a wronged expression. She then said, "I know what you said is right. It was my stubbornness that caused them to lose their lives. I … I'm sorry!"
Ling Xiao sighed, "Say that to your dead brother." He paused for a moment before continuing, "I hope that in the future, no matter what you do, you will not only think for yourself, but also for the people around you. Not only will you be able to get more people to work for the Merchant Union, but you will also be able to preserve your strength."
After saying that, Ling Xiao couldn't be bothered to talk to her anymore and flew forward.
Lie Ruyu carefully pondered over the meaning of Ling Xiao's words. She then looked at his flying figure and couldn't help but be a bit dazed.
When he arrived at the front, Ryoei and the others were already waiting.
"Elder Yong, I hit the eldest miss. This is my fault. I'll accept any punishment you want." Ling Xiao immediately said to Ryoei.
There was no use running away now, so he might as well take responsibility for it.
"You do deserve to be punished, but … Didn't the young miss already punish you?" Ryoei revealed a rare faint smile.
He knew the situation of Ling Xiao and Lie Ruyu like the back of his hand. Naturally, he knew that this matter was over. He also had to thank Ling Xiao for helping Lie Ruyu understand more principles.
"Although this brat took advantage of the young miss, he also helped the young miss understand more principles. He taught her a lesson, so we're even. But … this brat has actually condensed a flesh and soul, and he's so young. He's a perfect match for the young miss. What a pity …" Ryoei thought to himself.
At this time, Lie Ruyu had already followed them over.
Her face didn't look like she had cried at all. Instead, there was a faint sadness.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Yong. I harmed the others!" Lie Ruyu apologized sincerely to Ryoei.
Lie Yong revealed an expression of admiration and said, "This isn't entirely your fault. We didn't expect that Ji Qing was actually a member of the Ox Village Gang, so we were ambushed. However, they don't have the right to target us." He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, it's not like we didn't gain anything from this trip. At least we learned a few things about the black market!"
Ling Xiao asked in surprise, "Elder Yong, what did you discover?"
The Ox Village Gang's people were either dead or had escaped. They didn't leave any clues!
Ryoei revealed a fierce look and said, "Of course I found them using the Soul Searching Technique. The black market does have a limit on the number of people who can enter, but it's not too complicated. It's fine as long as you have this token!"
With that, a strange token appeared in Ryoei's hand. It was obvious that he had taken it from the Divine Kings he had killed.
"The Soul Searching Technique?" Ling Xiao was a little surprised.
Just from the name, one could tell that it was a rather strange technique.
"Then Elder Yong must have a plan?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Yes, let's do as you said before. We'll sneak into the black market first, then we'll think of a way to find the Bloodthirsty Roving Bandits," Ryoei replied.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, I've thought of a better way. Maybe we can really lure the Bloodthirsty Roving Bandits out."
"Oh, what is it?
Tell me about it! "Lie Yong said in surprise.
The others also looked at Ling Xiao with inquisitive expressions, waiting for his good suggestion.
Then Ling Xiao said, "I don't know what the Merchant Union has lost, but I'm sure it's a top-notch divine item. In the black market, everyone wants to buy what they need. However, the black market's price is definitely lower than the auctions outside. Otherwise, it won't be easy to trade, right?"
Ryoei and the others nodded, obviously agreeing with Ling Xiao's words.
Ryoei said, "So what?" "That's the key.
As long as we buy a batch of the Merchant Union's lost goods at a high price, I think the Bloodthirsty Bandits will be tempted, and they won't go through the auction process. At that time, we can directly arrange a meeting with them, and I think they won't refuse. At that time, we'll just have to see how Elder Yong plays with them. At that time, we'll just have to find their lair. But then again, the Roving Bandits are the most untrustworthy. Maybe they'll buy the goods for us and then come back to rob us, "Ling Xiao explained.
Ryoei, Lie Xi, and the others looked at each other. They hadn't expected Ling Xiao to come up with such an idea.
Before they could speak, Lie Ruyu exclaimed, "Lewd … Ling Xiao is right. This is a good suggestion. As long as they show up, we can leave a mark on them. Then, we can inform Father to lead the army here and kill them all."
Ryoei also nodded and agreed, "Yeah, that's a good idea. But if we buy them so openly, won't they be suspicious?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I have my own plan. I can definitely make them count the money for us after they've been sold."
Not only was Ling Xiao's Tenbin cultivation amazing, but his intelligence wasn't any worse than Xuan Yao's. It was just that he was too lazy to use his brain.
"Alright, if we can really recover the lost goods and destroy the Bloodthirsty Roving Bandits, you'll be the first to do it!" Ryoei replied.
