Chapter 132: Xiao Yi Xian, Seize This Opportunity
"What… what is 'Odd or even, stay unchanged?'" Mu Li stammered, his face pale with fear as he looked at Xiao Yan.
"You're not someone who crossed over from Earth?" Xiao Yan frowned, disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"What's Earth?" Mu Li asked, his confusion deepening.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's gaze turned cold, his fleeting hope extinguished. He no longer had any interest in Mu Li's life.
"These strange weapons where did you get them?" Xiao Yan's eyes shifted toward the pistols in Mu Li's hands.
Based on his understanding of this world, where Dou Qi was at its zenith, such firearms shouldn't exist. Even if certain nations had developed rudimentary firearms, they wouldn't compare to these finely crafted pistols, eerily similar to the ones Xiao Yan had seen in his past life.
"My… my father obtained them. I don't know the details," Mu Li stammered, sensing Xiao Yan's intense interest in the weapons.
"Take me to your father," Xiao Yan commanded, his gaze cold and piercing.
"Yes, yes! As long as Lord Xiao Yan spares my life, I'll do whatever you ask!" Mu Li nodded like a chicken pecking grain.
Xiao Yan gave a faint nod and turned to Xiao Yi Xian. "Let me take you back first."
Discovering a firearm in this world had thoroughly distracted Xiao Yan. Even with the most charming woman at his side, he couldn't ignore this mystery.
"Okay," Xiao Yi Xian replied softly, allowing herself to be pulled closer by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan grabbed Mu Li like a sack of potatoes with one hand while holding Xiao Yi Xian's delicate hand with the other, heading toward the cave entrance.
Sensing Xiao Yan's urgency, Xiao Yi Xian simply followed along without protest. As for Mu Li, he didn't dare utter a single complaint. Even his father's power couldn't compare to the terrifying strength Xiao Yan had just displayed.
When they reached the cave entrance, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi wings unfurled behind him, wide and radiant.
"D Dou Wang?!"
Mu Li and the other mercenaries were petrified, their jaws slack with disbelief. Even Xiao Yi Xian, who was normally calm and collected, froze in shock.
"How is this possible? How can someone so young be a Dou Wang?" Their minds reeled, unable to process the sheer impossibility of what they were witnessing.
Without sparing a glance at their stunned expressions, Xiao Yan wrapped an arm around Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist and took off into the air, holding Mu Li like a ragdoll.
As the wind rushed past, brushing against Xiao Yi Xian's face and hair, her thoughts swirled.
How could someone his age possibly become a Dou Wang?
Back at the mercenary camp, the resting group noticed a figure descending from the sky, carried by glowing Dou Qi wings.
"Look! Over there!"
"Is that… a Dou Wang?! No way!"
The mercenaries stared in awe as the figure approached, their initial excitement soon giving way to shock.
"That's… Xiao Yan?!"
Gasps rippled through the group as Xiao Yan gracefully landed, the sheer force of his Dou Qi blowing away leaves and dust.
"Everyone, take care of Xiao Yi Xian for me. I will reward you generously when I return!" Xiao Yan announced, his tone calm but commanding.
Then, after setting Xiao Yi Xian gently on the ground, he looked into her eyes. "Wait for me."
Before she could respond, Xiao Yan took off into the air once more, dragging a trembling Mu Li along.
"Take me to the Wolfhead Mercenary Group," Xiao Yan ordered coldly, his tone sending shivers down Mu Li's spine.
As Xiao Yan disappeared into the distance, one of the mercenaries broke the stunned silence.
"Xiao Yi Xian, was that really Xiao Yan?!"
"I… think so," she replied, still processing what she'd just witnessed.
"Unbelievable! Xiao Yan is actually a Dou Wang!" someone exclaimed, disbelief written all over their face.
"So young, yet he's already a Dou Wang… He must have an incredible future ahead of him!"
Another older mercenary sighed deeply. "Xiao Yi Xian, that boy clearly cares about you. You must seize this opportunity."
"Exactly! Such chances don't come twice in a lifetime!"
The words from the group brought a flurry of emotions to Xiao Yi Xian's heart. She remained silent, her expression conflicted as memories of her time with Xiao Yan flashed through her mind.
There was no denying it Xiao Yan was extraordinary, a man destined to surpass imagination.
But then, her gaze dropped to the Seven Colored Poison Codex she still held tightly. Her lips curled into a faintly bitter smile.
What kind of man would dare love a woman like me, burdened by this secret?
Meanwhile, high above the ground, Mu Li's face turned pale as the rushing wind battered him.
"It's… it's over there! That's the place!" he stammered, pointing to a crude mountain fortress in the distance.
The fortress reeked of alcohol and unkempt living conditions. When the sentries spotted a figure descending from the sky, they froze in terror.
"A Dou Wang…!"
Before they could sound the alarm, Xiao Yan landed, the force of his presence silencing the entire camp.
"Mu She! Show yourself!" Xiao Yan's voice, amplified by his Dou Qi, reverberated through the fortress like thunder.
