Tassanya fell silent.
She knew she had asked a stupid question; Luo Xiu was clearly doing this to get revenge on her.
"what on earth do you want?"
Once again, an arrow grazed her shoulder, and Tassanya utterly surrendered. She spoke in a defiant tone:
“Hill has completely gone mad. If you don’t leave, we’ll both die here in the end, and that’s not what you want to see either.”
"Of course I didn't mean to die with you."
Luo Xiu smiled and said:
"Actually, I was just waiting for someone. I'll leave as soon as she arrives."
wait?
Tassanya remembered the orc girl who had been held in the hands of the man in front of her last time.
A surge of anger welled up inside him.
His life, a descendant of dragon blood, was actually in the hands of a half-orc?!
A strong sense of humiliation spread throughout my body.
For a fleeting moment, she had the thought of risking everything to perish together with Luo Xiu.
But when her gaze fell on Luo Xiu's right hand, which was tightly tucked into his pocket, she ultimately dismissed the idea.
It's not that they're afraid Luo Xiu will expose Thorn Guardian.
Rather, she was unsure whether, with her current strength, she could withstand the rain of arrows and thorns to protect and kill Luo Xiu.
In the end, she could only channel all her frustration and anger into motivation, roaring as she sped up the speed at which she shot down the arrows.
About another minute passed.
Just as Tassanya was covered in wounds, with most of her skin stained red with blood.
Luo Xiu noticed a small figure wearing a hat sneaking closer from a distance, looking over with concern.
Luo Xiu smiled.
The timing was perfect. If Leila hadn't arrived soon, she would have had to leave too. She couldn't very well die alongside this mother dragon.
Luo Xiu made a gesture to the small figure to hide obediently, then smiled and said to Tassanya:
"You're lucky, the person I've been waiting for has arrived."
"Then get out of here!!!"
Tassanya's frustration had reached its peak. Ever since she met this man, she hadn't had a single moment of peace.
Since birth, she has always arbitrarily controlled the life and death of others.
The feeling of having her life in someone else's hands made her so frustrated she wanted to go crazy, especially since the person who held her life in their hands was just a chicken she could crush at will yesterday.
She simply couldn't accept this kind of change!
"Tasanya, I look forward to our next meeting."
Luo Xiu took a step closer to Tassanya, who was looking at him with a questioning gaze, as if he had something to say in private.
He smiled and said in a low voice:
"Today is just an appetizer. Next time we meet, I'll beat you so badly you'll be begging for mercy."
Before Tassanya could erupt in anger, she felt something slap her buttocks and then pinch her hard.
Her brain seemed to freeze for a moment, and her face went blank.
"It feels good, much better than Lina's."
Luo Xiu laughed, then ran towards the direction where Leila was in the distance.
Until Luo Xiu left, Tassanya's expression remained blank, with only her hand still unconsciously maintaining the motion of shattering the arrow.
In the sky, a scruffy parrot that had been circling overhead shouted loudly:
"If you touch it, you have to buy it!! If you touch it, you have to buy it!! If you touch it~~~, you have to buy it!!"
Chapter 24 Preparing to Kill
The clashing sounds of arrows and fists outside continued.
But old White, who had been peering through the door, had already looked away.
"This kid really did it..."
He murmured incredulously.
What had just happened outside the door was utterly unbelievable to him.
He had never heard that Luo Xiu and Tassanya were friends.
Besides, how could that red dragon possibly have friends?
But Luo Xiu did indeed seem to be chatting and laughing with the red dragon, and most importantly, he actually managed to touch it!
Old White slowly walked back behind the counter, picked up the slightly cooled tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
He sat down in the chair, closed his eyes, placed his right hand on the table, and pressed his index finger and thumb against the bridge of his nose.
He does this whenever he encounters something he can't understand, and it has become a habit over the years.
Every word Luo Xiu said flashed through his mind, and the scene outside the door just now replayed itself.
A few minutes passed,
He reopened his eyes, but the confusion in them did not disappear; instead, it deepened.
It's not that he didn't understand.
On the contrary, he guessed one possibility.
But this possibility was even more shocking than Luo Xiu patting Tassanya's butt, so much so that he voluntarily stopped thinking about it any further.
Beside it, the scruffy parrot had flown back from outside at some point and was now perched on the table, preening its feathers.
Old White looked at the parrot, a hint of helplessness in his smile:
“Rad, that kid might be much crazier than I thought.”
The parrot listened to old White's words, tilting its head as if it didn't quite understand.
It twisted its neck a few times, then suddenly flapped its wings and cried out:
"We lost! We lost!! We lost!!!"
Old White said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Yes, yes, I lost the bet to that kid this time..."
After a pause, a smug look appeared on old White's face, and he said with a smile:
"But I didn't suffer any losses either."
Yes, he has lived for so many years, and he has lost to many people.
But he has never suffered a loss.
The same applies this time. Although Luo Xiu won the bet, the actual profit or loss is still unknown.
Thinking of this, old White chuckled:
"Rad, go to the innermost corner of the warehouse and get another skill book for my bedroom. Yes, put it under my bedside table, that table is missing a leg and it always wobbles."
Seeing the parrot fly into the door on the right, old White felt even more smug.
Although Luo Xiu is quite crazy, he is still too young and inexperienced.
It's just a general skill book. What difference would it make if we gave him ten more? It's the kind of stuff that's everywhere outside of Wheel Town.
I've enjoyed a good show and even uncovered some secrets, so I'm not at a loss.
He thought that if Rad saved that kid's life today, he might get into some trouble, but now that he's solved the problem himself, he's actually made a small profit.
"Little Luo Xiu, oh Little Luo Xiu..."
Old White became increasingly convinced that he was the real winner, and began humming a little tune, nodding his head.
Suddenly, the scruffy parrot hurriedly flew out of the door on the right, flapping its wings wildly and shouting:
"Slaves! Slaves!! Slaves!!!"
"So what if they're slaves?!"
Old White looked at the parrot in front of him, who was in a state of panic and its feathers were standing on end, completely bewildered.
But the parrot's next words made him faint:
"Touched it all! Touched it all! Touched it all!!!"
Old White jumped up from his chair and rushed into the warehouse on the right.
Immediately afterwards, heart-wrenching screams came from the warehouse.
The parrot stood on the table outside the door, crying out mournfully:
"If you touch it, you should buy it!! If you touch it, you should buy it!!! If you touch it~~~, you should buy it!!!"
……
the other side,
Feeling elated at his successful attempt, Luo Xiu ran towards Leila with a smile.
"Master, Leila is here!"
Seeing that her master was alright, Leila happily waved to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu approached, habitually patted Leila's head, and smiled:
Did you encounter any trouble on the way?
"No, the journey was very smooth."
