Chapter 421: The Bustling Is Temporary
“Victor, what do you think will welcome me when I return to the Xiao Family?”
“I’m not sure. Shackles? Guillotines?”
“Probably. After all, the current Xiao Chenggan is only a pair of eyes away from their perfect image of a crown prince.
“But why should I give it to him? I’d rather give my eyes to you than let that b*stard Xiao Chenggan have them!
“I’m his biological sister, but ever since he was born, I’ve been tolerating him. But, he hasn’t even looked me in the eye.”
As she said that, Lian Hua pursed her lips in a grievance.
She turned to look at Victor, who seemed to be in a daze. Neither did he say anything nor respond.
“Hey! I’m talking to you. At least give me a response!”
“I’m thinking about something.”
“What are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about how to take revenge on the Xiao family.”
“There’s no need for that. Although I hate them, it’s already in the past. Now, I don’t have any relationship with them, nor do I have any enmity against the Xiao family because of this.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t be stupid.”
Victor nodded and slowly stood up. He held Lian Hua’s hand and continued, “Alright, let’s go out for a walk. Don’t you find it boring to always stay in the Small World? Today is the New Year festival. It’s very lively outside. Moreover, senior sister is also outside. Don’t let her wait.”
New Year’s day was a relatively grand festival in this world. For ordinary people or low-level cultivators, they would pay tribute to their ancestors on this day. At the same time, there would also be a lantern festival, which was very lively.
As for why it was just ordinary people or low-level cultivators, after all, cultivators at Victor’s level rarely paid attention to things in the mortal world, let alone a dispensable festival.
“I… I don’t really want to meet the Xiao family.”
“Don’t worry, they haven’t arrived yet. Moreover, we’re planning to leave tomorrow. We won’t be meeting them.”
Hearing this, Lian Hua finally felt relieved and left the Small World with Victor.
In the room, Nalan Lengling curled her lips and looked at the two people holding hands. She said sourly, “Why did it take so long for you two to come out?”
“It’s rare for us to not be disturbed by someone. Victor and I naturally have to be intimate with each other.”
Lian Hua’s breathing provoked Nalan Lengling. She stuck out her tongue, acting mischievously.
“Victor!” Nalan Lengling did not want to waste her breath on Lian Hua. She looked at Victor with a questioning tone.
“She’s joking. Let’s go.”
“Hmph! You only know how to bully me!”
Nalan Lengling turned around and left in a huff. On the other hand, Lian Hua was grinning from ear to ear, extremely pleased with herself.
Looking at the two girls who could not tolerate each other, Victor pinched his brows and sighed softly.
He had no choice. It was all his fault…
Victor walked in the middle, with Lian Hua on the left and Nalan Lengling on the right. Along the way, Victor could clearly feel that the others were stealing envious gazes at him.
Victor pretended not to see this.
Anyone could look. Rather than obsessing over these things, it was better to relax.
As they walked on the street, they heard the sounds of people selling their wares. At this moment, Nalan Lengling suddenly realized that it had been many years since she felt as relaxed as she was now.
When she was in the Fire Sect, Nalan Lengling would not waste any of her free time. She would spend all of it on cultivation. Although this allowed Nalan Lengling’s cultivation to steadily increase, in truth, it was an extremely boring process.
Unlike below the spiritual pedestal realm, where a large number of pills and resources could make up for the lack of talent, after reaching the core formation realm, everything could only rely on talent.
Nalan Lengling thought of her talent as ordinary, so she had to work harder. She had to work twice or even three times harder than ordinary people so that she would not fall behind.
Reality proved that she had done it.
Looking at the small vendors on both sides of the road, Nalan Lengling smiled for no reason. She gently held Victor’s hand, and her face became even redder.
“Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing! Let go of him quickly!”
Lian Hua was determined to go against Nalan Lengling. She was holding his hand, but she ordered Nalan Lengling to let go. She was very domineering.
“It’s none of your business!”
“Of course it’s my business! You’re just Victor’s senior sister. Pay attention to your behavior!”
“You! Victor! Look at her!”
“Alright, alright. The two of you, stop fooling around. Stop for a while. Just for a while, okay?”
“Tsk, all you know is how to make peace. How boring.”
Lian Hua stuck out her tongue and stopped being naughty.
The three of them walked quietly on the street. Looking at the traffic and the people coming and going, Victor felt a little absent-minded for no reason.
There was a time when he once took a girl shopping like this. Of course, the girls at that time were not comparable to Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling.
The difference was that at that time, he was so ignorant and did not understand the affairs of the world. He thought that as long as he wholeheartedly treated a person well, that person would be able to understand his intentions.
That was until Victor personally saw that girl board a luxurious car. That fawning expression was something he had never seen before. From then on, Victor had grown a lot.
Money was the most important thing!
Later, Victor came here. In this place, money would not work either. Hence, he trained with all his might so that he would not repeat the same mistake.
“Victor, look over there.”
Victor’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted. His gaze followed Nalan Lengling’s fingertips. It was a boy who looked like he was only seven or eight years old. He was kneeling on the ground, surrounded by a group of people who were punching and kicking him.
The noise naturally attracted the attention of many people, but no one chose to help him.
“Don’t meddle in other people’s business.” Victor shook his head, trying to stop Nalan Lengling from helping. Unfortunately, he was a step too late.
In a breath’s time, Nalan Lengling arrived in the crowd. She used the scabbard to beat up the perpetrators one by one.
Seeing this scene, Victor frowned.
It was not that Victor had a vicious heart and did not care about the matter. It was just that before he understood the reason for the matter, he was more inclined to stand by and watch. Although it was somewhat unkind, it would usually reduce a lot of trouble.
However, since Nalan Lengling had already made her move, he had no choice but to step in.
After all, women were emotional creatures. At certain times, their actions depended entirely on their emotions.
“Why are you hitting him?” Victor looked around and looked at the group of violent men lying on the ground who were groaning in pain.
“Kid! Don’t meddle in other people’s business! Do you know who we are?”
“I don’t care who you are! I just want to know why you’re hitting him.”
“This little b*stard stole something worth a hundred spirit stones. Shouldn’t he be beaten up?!”
“What did he steal?”
