Chapter 11: Li'er, This Girl

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Xiao Yixian tilted her head and smiled; her cute little appearance made Xiao Li's heart almost melt.

Xiao Yixian is now under 1.5 meters tall, a standard cute loli.

After tidying up the wooden hut they had built over the past year with Xiao Yixian, Xiao Li left the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range together with her; in that year, he had nearly wiped out all first- and second-rank magic beasts nearby.

The two walked out of the Magic Beast Mountain Range together; now, aside from a few magic beasts in the middle section, there are hardly any that can threaten Xiao Li, while the stronger magic beasts mostly dwell in the range's core.

On the main road, Xiao Li wasn't in a hurry; compared to seeking revenge, it would be better to first buy a new set of clothes, lest he wear rags and be mocked by his enemies.

At the clothing store in Green Mountain Town, the clerk looked disdainfully at Xiao Li and Xiao Yixian picking out clothes inside, unable to stop muttering in his heart.

"Where did this poor brat come from? Can he even afford our clothes?"

Xiao Li looked at the growing Xiao Yixian and said, "Boss, this outfit, including all its larger sizes, give us two sets."

Having spoken, he threw a money bag onto the counter; its solid sound almost made the clerk's eyes flash gold.

The originally impatient clerk instantly changed his expression.

"All right, all right, young master, please wait a moment!"

"All right, all right, young master, please wait a moment!"

Having changed into their new outfits, Xiao Li and Xiao Yixian walked out of the clothing store, truly living up to the description "handsome man, beautiful woman."

Xiao Li has sword-like brows and starry eyes; the fifteen-year-old boy has grown up, and after a year of slaughter in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, he has shed the last trace of childishness, for he will take part in the coming-of-age ceremony next year.

Xiao Li had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes; the fifteen-year-old youth had already grown up, a year of slaughter in the Magic Beast Mountains had stripped away the last trace of his childishness, after all, he was a young man who would undergo the coming-of-age ceremony next year.

Thinking of the coming-of-age ceremony, Xiao Li smacked his lips twice; it seemed he would have to return to the Xiao Clan for a visit, and it would be a good opportunity to look for a profound-rank technique.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiao Li?"

A sweet, gentle voice sounded from beside him; Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a flash of astonishment when he looked into Xiao Yixian's eyes.

After another year, the little girl had grown a bit more; when she smiled, her curved eyebrows conveyed friendliness, and although her body was still flat, she was beginning to develop, and in three or four years she would become the goddess of all Green Mountain Town.

"It's nothing; I just need to go home for a while—next year is my coming-of-age ceremony."

Xiao Li's plain words stirred Xiao Yixian's thoughts; the girl's heart was always sentimental.

Oh right, Brother Xiao Li still has a family; given his talent, his household must be powerful, and I'm just an orphan girl—his family would surely not approve of us……

Xiao Yixian jerked her head up, "No, no, what was I just thinking? How could I possibly be with Brother Xiao Li?"

Though she said that, seeing Xiao Li's sharp, handsome face still stirred a hint of sorrow in her heart.

Seeing Xiao Yixian's pouting brow, Xiao Li assumed she was remembering the relatives he had killed; over the past year she had opened her heart to him and spoken of these things.

"If you don't mind, you can also come home with me."

Xiao Yixian's eyes widened as she looked up at the boy beside her; the gentle sunlight made Xiao Li's outline a little blurry, but…… he's really handsome!

Not knowing what she had thought of, Xiao Yixian's face flushed red, and she lowered her head, silently walking forward.

Xiao Li scratched his head in puzzlement, caught up with Xiao Yixian, and touched her forehead.

"Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"

"Huh? Idiot! Egg!"

Xiao Yixian stamped her foot, angry, and walked back without looking back, her speed so fast that Xiao Li could barely keep up.

Xiao Yixian stomped their foot, angry, they turned and walked back the way they came, their speed so fast that Xiao Li could barely keep up.

After their roughhousing, Xiao Li put away his smile, took the Thunder Scale Spear from his storage ring, the clothes were bought, and it was time for the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps to be wiped out.

The closer they got to the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps' base, the fewer people there were; the notoriety of the Wolf Head members made the sparseness understandable.

"Those Wolf Head folks are really pitiful, that day……"

"Yeah, yeah, you can't even see a complete corpse."

Xiao Li's ears twitched; he felt some doubt—had the Wolf Head been targeted for revenge?

Arriving at the base, he saw two mercenaries collapsed at the gate, their uniforms bearing the Wolf Head insignia; they were clearly from the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps. Why were they killed here? Was it a single fatal blow? The attacker must be at least a Fighter.

Xiao Yixian had stayed in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for a year; now, seeing a corpse's pallor elicited no change from her.

Xiao Yixian had stayed in the Magic Beast Mountains for a year; now, seeing a corpse's complexion elicited no change.

Xiao Li gently shook his head and strode straight into the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps' base; the blood here had dried, indicating death at least three days ago, and no one had come to clean up—had the Wolf Head been wiped out? If so, how could he exact his revenge?

Xiao Li lightly shook his head and walked straight into the Wolf Head Mercenaries' camp; the blood here had all dried up, indicating at least three days since death, and no one had come to clean it up—could the Wolf Head have been wiped out? If so, how could he exact his revenge?

Entering the training ground, he saw corpses scattered everywhere; Xiao Yixian's face also turned pale—there were over a hundred bodies, none intact, only limbs and flesh fragments.

Xiao Li sucked in a breath of cold air; all had been smashed by a single strike—the attacker was likely at least a Fighter Peak, possibly even a Grand Fighter; he wondered where the Wolf Head had provoked such a ruthless figure.

Wisps of cyan battle qi drifted from the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps' hall.

Xiao Li drew a deep breath: "I don't know which senior is here; please show yourself for a meeting."

It's not strange that Xiao Li acted rashly; he truly wanted to see who had wiped out the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps—this already involved the original plot, and grasping the situation is the truth.

Inside the hall, Xiao Zhan, with a white cloth bound around his forehead, snapped his head up, his pair of blood-red eyes full of disbelief.

In the hall, Xiao Zhan, whose forehead was bound with a white cloth, suddenly lifted his head; his pair of blood-red eyes were filled with disbelief.

Stumbling out of the hall, Xiao Zhan's excited body trembled; seeing the astonished youth outside the door, his pupils shook in disbelief.

Seeing Xiao Zhan covered in blood, Xiao Li felt a pang in his heart.

Seeing Xiao Zhan covered in blood, Xiao Li felt a pang of sorrow.

"Li'er!"

Xiao Zhan tightly embraced Xiao Li in his arms, his right hand repeatedly pounding Xiao Li's back.

"I thought you were dead."

Over these past days, Xiao Zhan had wavered countless times about whether to enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range; his own death would be of no consequence, but the Xiao Clan had made him hesitate for a long time.

Over the past few days, Xiao Zhan had repeatedly agonized over whether to enter the Magic Beast Mountains; to him, dying was of no consequence, but the Xiao family had made him hesitate for a long time.

"I knew it—my son Xiao Zhan would surely be extraordinary!"

"I just knew, my son Xiao Zhan must be amazing!"

Xiao Zhan loosened his grip on Xiao Li; the blood-red in his eyes could not be distinguished as fatigue or tears of regained loss.

After a long while, Xiao Zhan, whose emotions had slightly calmed, loosened the hand he had been gripping tightly on Xiao Li, and noticed the little doctor fairy beside him.

The pale porcelain doll wore a purple-white long dress, looking just like a little fairy from a painting.

But this age… Xiao Zhan recalled his own son Xiao Yan, who had warmed the meridians of the little loli Xun'er; his vision darkened, and the fatigue of several days almost made him collapse.

"Li'er, this girl…" Xiao Zhan's lips trembled, could it be that two of his three sons…!

Beast!
