Chapter 124: Sympathy

124. Chapter 124: Sympathy

Looking at the table piled high with bowls, Luo Yao widened her eyes, examining the girl before her with surprise and curiosity.

She had just learned the girl's name was You Wan.

It seemed she had fled because her family had suffered some misfortune.

She had spoken up only because she had accidentally discovered Luo Yao's transaction and did not want to be cheated.

Just this point made Luo Yao feel fond of her; moreover, after a brief contact, You Wan seemed innocent and simple, and Luo Yao worried that if left alone, she might be sold and still help the buyer count the money.

"Wuwuwu, Sister Xiao Luo, why aren't you eating? This is the first time I've eaten this kind of food; it's so delicious."

Luo Yao was somewhat speechless; the cooking skills were even worse than hers, at least in her opinion it was mediocre, yet You Wan thought it was a delicacy.

Luo Yao had just opened her mouth when a group of Fierce Ghosts appeared before them; these Fierce Ghosts wore armor, held large blades, and emanated thick Yin Qi and killing intent.

They looked utterly unremarkable, resembling long loaves of bread, yet they contained Yin Qi and Spirit Power.

Besides, she could not possibly hand over Xiao Wan.

On the street ahead, a thunder net four or five meters wide shot skyward, followed immediately by a terrifying sea of fire spreading rapidly in all directions.

"Sister Xiao Luo, this is what I ate before; it's not tasty, but since Xiao Wan cannot eat anything else, I can only eat this every day."

With her mouth stuffed full of food, You Wan put down her bowl and chopsticks, took something from a pendant on her chest, and handed it to Luo Yao.

However, the moment this thought arose in their minds, the next second they widened their eyes and stared fixedly ahead.

Fortunately, her tongue was becoming more refined, which made her Spirit Platform clear.

"Kill!"

Luo Yao took the object and froze; she did not know what it was, or rather, it should be a special type of food.

The two left the restaurant and planned to find an inn to stay in.

With so many Fierce Ghosts attacking together, these two were doomed.

"Xiao Wan, is this your first time eating outside? What did you eat before?"

This was the territory of the Black Wind Sect; this group attacking openly on the street clearly violated the Black Wind Sect's rules.

The Fierce Ghosts and cultivators on the street, upon seeing this group of Fierce Ghosts move, were frightened and quickly moved away.

Judging by the appearance of these Fierce Ghosts, they would not let them go; even if she handed over Xiao Wan, these Fierce Ghosts would likely kill to silence them.

She tried breaking off a tiny piece, tasted it, and the flavor was strange; it could be said it was not tasty at all.

Besides, this was the Ancient Battlefield, a place thick with Yin Qi, which served as a natural battlefield for Fierce Ghosts.

Luo Yao felt helpless; in this situation, even if Xiao Wan ran out, this group would not let her go.

Of course, this was just her own thought.

That group of Fierce Ghosts disregarded the city's regulations and boldly attacked them right on the street.

Tomorrow she would see whether Xiao Wan intended to go with her to the Immortal Cultivation World or stay here.

Luo Yao could only step onto a stool, then look over the bowls at You Wan; upon hearing this, You Wan silently shook her head.

"Over there!"

"Do you have any relatives you can turn to?"

This group of Fierce Ghosts did not hesitate a word and directly unleashed their killing moves, clearly intending to put Xiao Wan to death.

The onlooking Fierce Ghosts, feeling the threat of the thunder and that scorching heat, were frightened and quickly moved away, while simultaneously feeling immense shock in their hearts.

They saw a group of Fierce Ghosts besieging two little girls and attacking without mercy, yet they did not step forward to help; instead, they shook their heads, feeling a trace of sympathy for Luo Yao and the other.

This was equivalent to seven or eight people at the Foundation Establishment Stage besieging her, a single Qi Condensation cultivator.

As long as she led them to the Black Wind Sect, regardless of the reason, the Black Wind Sect would not allow these Fierce Ghosts to kill the two of them.

"Have you always eaten this thing?" Luo Yao looked at Xiao Wan in shock, feeling some heartache for her; how cruel must her family be to make someone eat this.

"Oh my god, run!"

Logically, someone capable of cultivating a talented person like You Wan should be from a great family, and such great families should value geniuses, shouldn't they?

Could it be because You Wan had a poor background?

Luo Yao immediately thought of domestic strife plots and felt even more sympathy for You Wan.

"What are your plans from now on..." Luo Yao did not continue the previous topic but asked with a furrowed brow.

"Kill!"

She did not ask Xiao Wan about the identities of those people; she only knew she must find a way to shake them off, otherwise they were doomed.

And Luo Yao was merely collateral.

Is this something humans eat?

Was her own palate too refined?

Or was it because it was her first time eating it?

Boom!

However, the plan was good, yet it ignored the strength of this group of Fierce Ghosts.

Luo Yao was somewhat curious about You Wan's identity, after all, she was one year younger than herself, yet her strength was even greater.

Xiao Wan suddenly rushed out, spreading her arms to block in front of Luo Yao, "If you want to capture me, come at me; do not hurt Sister Xiao Luo."

Just like someone who eats delicacies every day, suddenly eating outside, would feel it is even more delicious than what they eat at home.

Boom!

She waved her hand to produce over a hundred Thunder Talismans, activated them rapidly; instantly, a net formed by thunder wrapped around her, and then she hurled it at those Fierce Ghosts.

At least she could not do it: see through an Array set up at the Foundation Establishment Stage and transmit a message to herself without alerting the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Therefore, Luo Yao was blocked by this group of Fierce Ghosts before she had gone very far.

Luo Yao's face instantly changed, as if the whole person faced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, nearly collapsing.

However, Luo Yao felt that going to the Immortal Cultivation World was better; this place was too oppressive, with no sun visible all year round, and the spiritual energy was so thin that cultivation progress was difficult.

How Xiao Wan chooses specifically depends on herself; no matter what she chooses, Luo Yao will respect her decision.

You Wan was now patting her bulging belly, seemingly completely full, while a pile of bowls had already accumulated before her, taller than her entire body.

Luo Yao grabbed Xiao Wan and pulled her back; seeing eight or nine yin souls and fierce ghosts charging at her, she felt no fear.

For yin souls and Ghost Cultivators, this was a blessed land, but for cultivators, it was a perilous place.

Thus, she ran toward the city center.

"It's fine, hold onto me!"

Yet, as soon as the two walked onto the main street, Xiao Wan suddenly shrank back behind her in fear, hiding her entire body.

"Sister Xiao Luo, don't worry about me."

"Then let's do this: we'll find a place to rest tonight and make plans tomorrow!"

But Luo Yao did not stop there; instead, she took out the Wuji Skyfire Fan again, disregarding the consumption of Spirit Power within her body, and drove it with all her might, unleashing the Wuji Skyfire Fan's power to its maximum.

Suddenly, the leader of the yin souls discovered Xiao Wan hiding behind Luo Yao; instantly, the killing intent on his body turned into something substantial and rushed toward the two of them.

"This girl!"

Luo Yao's face immediately turned ugly; she grabbed Xiao Wan and fled rapidly, "Go!"

That little girl was actually so powerful.

She could even launch such a terrifying attack; if that struck them, it would absolutely turn them to ash.

It was just unknown how the battle situation was; although that girl could unleash such a terrifying attack, she was ultimately only one person, perhaps...
