~10 min read 1,988 words

"Want a dough figurine? Five wen each."

Looking at the smiling young man in front of her, Bai Xiaoxiao was shocked in her heart.

She had just been busy talking to that person, and hadn't even discovered when the other party had walked in front of her.

You must know that after dying and coming back to life, her body had been strengthened to a great extent, and logically speaking, this situation shouldn't have occurred.

It's just that when Bai Xiaoxiao recalled the information that person had told her, she felt that everything seemed very reasonable.

The other party was a Great Supernatural Seeker in his prime, and even if his strength only remained at two or three percent now, he was much stronger than that three-eyed Dharma Corpse in Black Mountain Village.

Of course, Bai Xiaoxiao had no concept of titles like "Great Supernatural"; anyway, according to what that person said, the other party belonged to one of the top Seekers in the world when he was alive.

As for now...

'He actually is a Dharma Corpse like the three-eyed one.'

Looking at the young man in front of her who was no different from an ordinary person, Bai Xiaoxiao felt a bit nervous for a time.

Just when the girl was at a loss, the young man touched the back of his head and said somewhat regretfully: "It seems you don't want it; I thought you were always looking at me, little friend, because you wanted to buy a dough figurine."

After speaking, he turned and walked toward his stall.

Seeing this situation, Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to speak but stopped.

Just when she was at a loss, Li Ang's voice sounded in her heart again.

[Just state your purpose directly; even if any accident happens, I'm here.]

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate anymore, immediately knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I have admired you for a long time, sir; I hope you can accept me as an apprentice!"

Admired for a long time... to tell the truth, she didn't even understand the supernatural world before, let alone [Forget River Art Academy].

Facing this sudden apprenticeship, the young man stopped his footsteps immediately.

But before he could make any reaction, a burst of laughter came from all around.

"Zhao Yan, I didn't see that you had this trick up your sleeve."

"Indeed, indeed, if I had known, I would have learned to make dough figurines; maybe I could have met such a little beauty to apprentice."

The street vendors looked at the young man whose expression was slightly stiff, and couldn't help but make some ridicule.

They were all uncultured city people, so naturally they couldn't expect them to say anything good.

Facing these ridicules, the young man named "Zhao Yan" touched the back of his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Everyone, stop teasing me; do you believe me if I say I don't know this little girl?"

This naturally drew another burst of laughter.

Unless that little girl was a fool, otherwise why would she apprentice to this dough figurine maker for no reason.

Look at that skin; who knows which big family's young lady ran away.

It's just that they were also seeing a story like this that only existed in storybooks for the first time.

Seeing that the explanation was useless, Zhao Yan sighed, then turned and walked back in front of Bai Xiaoxiao.

He looked at the girl who was still kneeling on the ground and said helplessly: "Miss, please stop teasing me; this dough figurine making can only barely make ends meet."

Saying this, as if to prove his embarrassment, he dug into his pocket, but in the end, he only took out a few copper coins.

However, although Zhao Yan appeared very helpless, if one looked carefully, one could find that there was no emotion in his eyes.

Hearing his words, Bai Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her head and wanted to explain: "It's not like that..."

But halfway through, she suddenly got stuck.

Because the girl realized that she seemed unable to state her purpose directly; she couldn't tell the person in front of her that she was here to inherit [Forget River Art Academy].

Although that person said he could provide a bottom line, if possible, she felt it was better not to trouble the other party.

Just when Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do, a noisy sound suddenly came from the side.

"All be sensible, hurry up and pay the protection fee."

The girl looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of hooligans collecting protection fees from the street vendors one by one, and one of the hooligans was walking straight toward her side.

Just when Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned by this, Zhao Yan said with a flattering smile: "Brother Wang, I remember the protection fee was paid a few days ago, right? Why again..."

"A few days ago is a few days ago, today is today." The hooligan curled his lips and said somewhat impatiently, "Hurry up and pay the money."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's smile stiffened immediately, and he somewhat helplessly handed over the copper coins in his hand: "Business hasn't been good these days, so there's only this much; I hope Brother Wang can give me some leeway..."

"It seems I have to let you suffer some bitterness before you pay the money in full."

Looking at the pitifully few copper coins in the young man's hand, a ferocious smile couldn't help but appear on the hooligan's face.

Just when he pressed his ten fingers until they creaked and wanted to take action, he suddenly noticed Bai Xiaoxiao kneeling on the side.

After a brief silence, the hooligan put down his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly to ask: "Is this your wife? I can exempt you from the protection fee this time, but... hehe."

Saying this, he let out a few lewd laughs, and the meaning in his words was self-evident.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't expect that this hooligan would actually have designs on her, but she wasn't the wild girl from the mountain anymore.

Relying on [Borrowing Yuan True Eye], she could easily solve this group of hooligans.

However, Bai Xiaoxiao didn't choose to take action.

One reason was that there were many people and eyes at the scene, which wasn't very suitable for exposing her identity, and the other was that she wanted to see what this supreme being of Forget River Art Academy in front of her would do.

At this time, after hearing the hooligan's words, Zhao Yan gradually restrained the smile on his face.

He sighed slightly in his heart, secretly thinking:

'What a trouble... I just wanted to quietly wait for Senior Sister to resurrect.'

The young man had also tried to make this world a better place, but all ended in failure.

Slowly, he gradually gave up these "unrealistic" ideals and chose to stay with Senior Sister forever.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last long; due to the recurrence of old injuries, Senior Sister reached the end of her life one step ahead of him.

But I don't know if it was God's pity, Senior Sister actually turned into a Dharma Corpse.

Facing this enemy he had killed countless times, Zhao Yan produced hesitation for the first time.

In the end, he chose to cover up, and even moved the entire [Forget River Art Academy] to this remote coastal area.

However, paper couldn't wrap fire in the end, and his old friend, the Immortal Lord of All Laws of the Eternal World, finally sensed something unusual.

The ending of the matter was also very simple; he and Senior Sister tried their best but were no match for the other party, and could only watch helplessly as [Forget River Art Academy] was exterminated by the other party.

Of course, the disciples were just abolished of their cultivation and had their memories wiped; the only ones who truly died were him and Senior Sister.

The good news was that he also turned into a Dharma Corpse, and because of the sect's supernatural power, Senior Sister could also live a second life.

Therefore, as long as he kept waiting like this, he would one day be able to wait for his Senior Sister to return again.

As the past events flashed through his mind, the expression on Zhao Yan's face changed constantly.

At the same time, the hooligan was getting impatient from waiting.

Just when he wanted to urge, he saw the young man in front of him grab the girl's arm and rush into a small alley on the side.

Seeing this, the hooligan was stunned for a moment, then furiously gathered his lackeys to chase after them.

On the other side.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the young man who was tightly gripping her forearm and felt a bit blank in her heart.

The so-called "Great Supernatural Seeker," facing a few hooligans, actually chose to run away?

Was the information really not wrong? Did they find the wrong person?

Just when Bai Xiaoxiao was letting her imagination run wild, Zhao Yan had already brought her to a dead end.

After confirming that he had shaken off those hooligans, he sat on a broken basket by the road and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After simply calming his breathing for a while, Zhao Yan looked at the girl in front of him who seemed like nothing had happened and said: "Miss, hurry home; stop pestering me."

"If you really want to learn how to make dough figurines, I can give you a secret manual, and you can learn it yourself."

He knew in his heart that this little girl who suddenly came to his door probably wasn't simple; after all, no ordinary person could be expressionless and calm after running for so long.

But in order to avoid extra trouble, he still wanted to struggle one last time.

If the other party left obediently, then naturally everyone would be happy.

But if the other party still refused to give up, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao's feet seemed to have taken root, standing in place without moving.

Leaving was impossible; she still had to complete that person's mission.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan first sighed, then slowly faded the expression on his face.

He looked at the girl with a hesitant expression in front of him and said in a voice without any emotion: "Although I don't know how you saw it, I have already given you many opportunities."

While speaking, a sturdy human figure gathered from blood slowly appeared behind him.

[Return to Heaven Blood Body], the sect supernatural power of [Forget River Art Academy], one of the strongest Seeker sects back then.

"Since you are unwilling to listen obediently, then stay here."

As the voice fell, the blood-red figure suddenly reached out its hands toward Bai Xiaoxiao.

Feeling the fishy wind coming toward her face, the girl couldn't help but open her eyes wide and subconsciously urged [Borrowing Yuan True Eye].

As that scarlet pupil emerged between her eyebrows, Zhao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly: "Life-Bound Supernatural Power? No... this is a talent supernatural power? You are also a Dharma Corpse?"

Although his strength now only remained at two or three percent of his peak period, his vision hadn't declined in the slightest, and he wasn't so incompetent that he couldn't tell the difference between a Life-Bound Supernatural Power and a talent supernatural power.

But he clearly hadn't felt any Dharma Corpse aura on this little girl; you must know that those who could perform like him, appearing no different from ordinary people, wouldn't be weak in strength.

And this little girl...

Vulnerable.

Ignoring the blood-red light that was trying to control her limbs, Zhao Yan's expression didn't change at all; just this level couldn't do anything to him.
