Chapter 40: We Have Already Made a Secret Vow for Life

Whenever Yan Xiao chatted with Qingxue, he would feel inexplicably happy; all his troubles would be easily resolved once they reached the little girl.

"Brother, I want to rest."

Qingxue yawned, leaned against Yan Xiao's shoulder, and fell asleep just like that.

"The wind is a bit chilly; let me take you back to your room."

Yan Xiao ruffled her beautiful hair and said dotingly.

"No, I want to sleep while holding you. Once I grow up, you won't let me sleep with you anymore."

The little girl acted like a spoiled child.

Yan Xiao gave a bitter smile, feeling quite helpless; the little girl was now graceful and beautiful, and he dared not share a bed with her as they had when they were young.

On the roof of the backyard.

Luosang was leaning against a roof beam while hugging a jar of wine, emitting snoring sounds from time to time; it was unclear if he was truly asleep.

On the roof opposite him, the Cat Demon lay lazily, eyes occasionally scanning the surroundings, then looking at Yan Xiao and Qingxue.

Luo Ying looked at the people on the roof and asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, why do they all like being on the roof? Isn't it cold?"

"Perhaps they are afraid of thieves coming to steal things."

Qian Youdao answered softly, and after speaking, he went back to his own room to sleep.

"Would there be thieves?"

Luo Ying shook her head; surely no one would dare to steal Yan Xiao's things.

Qingxue was already asleep.

Yan Xiao draped his clothes over her, then opened the System Mall.

The mall was still on the page that had been refreshed previously.

Yan Xiao decisively clicked refresh, and the page began to scroll.

In the first grid, a 【Rusty Sword】 appeared first.

Second grid: 【Primary Invisibility Talisman】, price 200 Fear Value.

Note: Only useful against cultivators below the Cave Profound Realm.

Third grid: 【Yanjing Roast Duck】, price 10 Fear Value.

Note: Decorative item, cannot be eaten!

Yan Xiao was speechless; ever since 【Clear Men's Shampoo】 had appeared last time, he knew this system was not simple.

Filled with complex emotions, he looked toward the fourth grid, and it did not disappoint him: 【Peak Grade Weapon—Nine-Toothed Rake】, price 2000 Fear Value.

Isn't this the weapon used by Brother Tianpeng? How did it end up here...

"System, you aren't actually going to invite the Second Senior Brother over, are you?" Yan Xiao asked in surprise.

If he could really see the Second Senior Brother, he would feel quite a sense of kinship, wouldn't he?

"Random item, the system cannot know."

Fine, asking was a waste of time anyway.

Spending another 100 Fear Value, Yan Xiao opened the fifth grid.

Summon Card 【Young Bajie】

A cartoon version of the Second Senior Brother had actually appeared on it, and he was still underage!

"I... I'm impressed!"

Yan Xiao had a bit of a headache.

"Owner, Tianpeng Yuanshuai is a deity-level figure. Don't let his young age fool you; his combat power is still very terrifying."

The system reminded him.

Yan Xiao looked at the card carefully; it read: Young Bajie, cultivation at Spirit Void Realm, 5th Layer.

Skill: Flying Sky Rake, can effectively kill cultivators below Spirit Void Realm 5th Layer 【requires equipping the Nine-Toothed Rake weapon】.

Summon count: 1. 【Can choose to possess or summon directly】.

Yan Xiao took a deep breath; being able to kill cultivators below Spirit Void Realm 5th Layer—the Second Senior Brother is awesome!

"I'm rich... I'm rich!"

"From now on, let's see who dares to bully me... whoever I don't like, I'll call the Second Senior Brother to beat them up!"

He almost laughed out loud.

"Owner, there are two ways to use Young Bajie. One is possession, which can instantly raise your cultivation to Spirit Void Realm 5th Layer and allow you to use Bajie's skills; the possession duration is 5 minutes."

"The second way is to summon the cartoon character of Bajie to follow your orders; the effective duration is 10 minutes."

"You can play it like this too?"

Yan Xiao said in surprise.

"Yes, Owner. You can utilize the Eight Precepts Card well according to different environments," the system replied.

"Alright, I understand."

Yan Xiao purchased the Nine-Toothed Rake and placed it in the System Space for emergencies.

The next day.

At the crack of dawn, Yan Xiao was startled awake by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Turning his head to look, it turned out that the guy Luosang had fallen off the roof.

His posture was quite particular: limbs splayed and face down; it looked painful just watching.

"What's wrong?"

Qingxue rubbed her head and asked in a daze.

"Luosang smashed our floor!"

Watching Luosang standing up and brushing off his clothes as if nothing had happened, Yan Xiao gritted his teeth.

"Pfft."

Qingxue laughed, "Brother, you're so funny."

"It's true, he imprinted his face onto the stone slab."

Yan Xiao said with a straight face.

"Make him pay!"

Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then immediately said.

Luosang had been walking unsteadily at first, but upon hearing the little girl tell him to pay, he immediately ran far away.

As it turned out, he ran in the wrong direction and charged into the small courtyard where the young ladies of Chunfeng Pavilion lived, and suddenly a burst of cursing could be heard...

"Hahaha!"

Yan Xiao laughed heartily.

At this moment,

Ma Cuihua brought a group of women before him, each of them swaying their slender waists, making Yan Xiao's eyes dazzle.

"Still not greeting them?" Ma Cuihua said with a straight face.

"Greetings, Master; greetings, Miss Qingxue." The women said in unison.

"Please give us your instructions, Master."

Ma Cuihua bowed and said to Yan Xiao, who was on the roof.

Yan Xiao looked at this group of women, his head aching a little; he coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"Uh... good morning everyone. From now on, you are all maids of my Yan Mansion. You must pay attention to etiquette and manners, cherish public hygiene, and do not... litter anywhere.

Also, everyone just call me Young Master; don't call me Master, it sounds awkward."

"We will strictly follow Young Master's instructions." The women replied.

"Qian Youdao, from now on these people are under your management and at your disposal. As for Ma Cuihua, you can let her help manage some business; handle it as you see fit." Yan Xiao waved his hand and said.

"I will strictly follow the Sect Master's decree." Qian Youdao said respectfully.

"What about me? What do I do?"

Luo Ying raised her hand with an excited look on her face.

"You... cultivate well." Yan Xiao rolled his eyes at her and said indifferently.

Luo Ying pouted, looking unhappy.

"Junior Sister, you are responsible for Sect Master's daily life, and try to get closer to Miss Qingxue."

Qian Youdao whispered a reminder in Luo Ying's ear, and Luo Ying immediately became happy.

Under the arrangement of Qian Youdao and Ma Cuihua, the Yan Mansion finally got on the right track.

Today, the marketplace belonging to Yan Xiao could also reopen, which counted as a good omen.

Ever since hearing Qian Youdao's words, Luo Ying followed behind Yan Xiao every day, serving tea and water, looking exactly like his personal maid.

Regarding this, Qingxue did not deliberately make things difficult for her; instead, their relationship grew better and better, and they became good sisters.

Qingxue had indeed been lonely for too long; although Qingyao could take on a human form, she was ultimately a Phantom Demon and could not romp and play like Luo Ying.

With Luo Ying's company, Qingxue was clearly much happier.

In the afternoon.

Luo Ying had dressed him up meticulously; he wore white clothes and a white robe, a jade belt at his waist, his long hair tied up high, and his hair ribbon fluttering.

His already handsome face, added to by the dressing up, gained points instantly.

"Is Young Master satisfied?"

Luo Ying handed the mirror to Yan Xiao and asked with a smile.

"Why am I even more handsome? It's truly worrying."

Yan Xiao looked at his own face, feeling very narcissistic.

"Sect Master, the time has come."

Qian Youdao reminded him loudly outside the door.

"Good, let's go!"

Yan Xiao stood up, flicked his white robe with both hands, turned his head to toss his black long hair, and strode forward.

He looked up at the sky, walking at the very front, displaying the demeanor of a Sect Master.

"Young Master... be careful..."

Seeing the banana peel on the ground, Luo Ying hurriedly called out a warning, but it was clearly too late.

Yan Xiao was looking at the sky and didn't see the banana peel on the ground at all; his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground in a face-plant.

Luo Ying covered her face with both hands, not daring to look directly at the Sect Master's miserable state, while Qian Youdao looked left and right, pretending not to see.

"Who the hell threw this banana peel!"

Seeing his new clothes stained, Yan Xiao was furious.

He was dressed so handsomely today to go to the Feng Family to show off, but he didn't expect to trip as soon as he left the house; it was an unlucky start.
