Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Ning Rongrong's New Hobby
After Xiao Yixian appeared, the mercenaries on the street became even more excited.
"The Wanyao Trading Firm's herb-gathering team is back! Look, it's Xiao Yixian."
"Xiao Yixian is as beautiful as ever. My old injuries have flared up again; maybe I can go see her later."
"Are you really looking for Xiao Yixian for treatment? I can't even be bothered to expose you."
"Oh no, my injuries have flared up too!"
...
Xiao Wu's mouth slightly opened in surprise as she listened to the noisy sounds around them.
"This Xiao Yixian is really popular!"
Qi Lin also turned his gaze. Xiao Yixian was dressed in white. In terms of appearance alone, she was slightly inferior to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who had taken the Creation Heaven Mending Pill.
But she had an elegant and ethereal aura about her, making her look like a gentle fairy.
And she had another distinctive feature: her waist was exceptionally slender and delicate, so much so that it seemed one could barely grasp it.
Ning Rongrong glanced at Qi Lin and said, "Brother Qi Lin, is this Xiao Yixian really that good-looking?"
Qi Lin nodded honestly.
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong smiled slyly, leaned close to Qi Lin's ear, and whispered, "How about I go buy a dress just like Xiao Yixian's later?"
Qi Lin lightly coughed and looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise.
Rongrong has this hobby?
It must be satisfied!
Xiao Wu's ears twitched, and her eyes sparkled.
"Me too, me too!"
These two had been openly competing non-stop since Shrek Academy. It wasn't that their relationship was bad; perhaps they simply enjoyed the feeling of competing.
As Qi Lin looked at Xiao Wu's excited expression, an image of her wearing a white dress, imitating Xiao Yixian, flashed through his mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Rongrong was fine; although she had an arrogant nobility about her, if she reined it in a bit, she might genuinely be able to capture three-tenths of Xiao Yixian's aura.
But Xiao Wu...
Forget it. Don't try to imitate others only to end up with a poor imitation!
Qi Lin felt that with Xiao Wu's personality, she might get along well with Zi Yan.
Just as Qi Lin and the two girls were whispering, Xiao Yixian, walking from afar, also noticed the three who stood out from the crowd, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Which major power did these young masters and ladies come from, to run to Qingshan Town without even bringing guards?
One should know that Qingshan Town is close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and it is never short of mercenaries who live by the sword.
Among these mercenaries, there are also many with ill intentions.
Therefore, things like murder and robbery are actually commonplace in Qingshan Town.
It was no wonder Xiao Yixian had such thoughts. Although people on the Douluo Continent mature quickly, from the slightly tender faces of Qi Lin and the two girls, it was still evident that their ages would definitely not exceed twenty.
And in the Gama Empire, being able to break through to the Dou Practitioner before the age of twenty was already considered good talent.
So, no matter how talented the three were, how strong could their cultivation be?
If they were targeted by some audacious mercenaries, the three might be in danger.
It could be said that Qi Lin and the two girls were definitely big fat sheep in the eyes of many ill-intentioned individuals in Qingshan Town.
Beside Xiao Yixian, a young man dressed in tight-fitting clothes and wearing a Wolf Head Mercenary Group badge was diligently trying to curry favor with Xiao Yixian.
Just then, a scrawny young man with a servile and lewd appearance next to him suddenly poked the well-dressed young man's arm.
A look of displeasure flashed across the well-dressed young man's face. Just as he glared fiercely at the servile man beside him, he saw the man winking at him, his eyes also glancing in a certain direction.
The well-dressed young man immediately understood and looked in the direction the lewd young man was indicating.
Upon seeing the appearances of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, his eyes immediately widened, revealing a hint of greed and lust.
"When did Qingshan Town get two such exquisite beauties? They're no worse than Xiao Yixian," Muli thought to himself.
However, when he saw Qi Lin next to the two girls, his brows subtly furrowed, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
He could tell at a glance that the identities of the one man and two women standing in front of Wanyao Trading Firm were not simple; they were probably children from some influential family.
However, seeing that they didn't even have a single guard with them, it was highly likely that they were young masters and ladies who, thinking they had some talent, feared nothing and secretly snuck out of their homes to explore.
These people were the easiest to trick; they might even help count the money if they were sold!
It was a pity Xiao Yixian was right there, otherwise he might have gone over to strike up a conversation.
Of course, this didn't mean Muli was going to let the three of them go.
He gave a meaningful look to the lewd man beside him, who immediately understood. His footsteps silently slowed down, eventually separating him from the mercenary group.
He was going to find someone to keep an eye on Qi Lin and the two girls, ensuring they wouldn't lose track of them.
As long as the three dared to step out of Qingshan Town, they would dare to make a move and capture them.
At that time, they would get both wealth and beauty without anyone knowing!
And Muli had clearly done such things many times before.
On the surface, Muli regained his composure and continued to diligently try to please Xiao Yixian.
It was only because Xiao Yixian was backed by Wanyao Trading Firm, and because she was very popular among the mercenaries in Qingshan Town—even many members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had received her favor—that Muli had some reservations.
Otherwise, he would have long since used forceful means to take Xiao Yixian for himself.
Facing Muli's deliberate attempts to curry favor, Xiao Yixian always maintained a serene smile, while her body subtly and constantly kept a certain distance from Muli, which secretly annoyed Muli, who always wanted to make a move.
To think that he, Muli, as the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, could get any woman he wanted, yet a mere Xiao Yixian repeatedly made him suffer setbacks and get nothing in return.
How could Muli not be angry?
A ruthless look flashed in Muli's eyes. He thought coldly to himself, "You bitch, just wait until I completely have you, then I'll make you pay."
Xiao Yixian's gaze also grew slightly cold. She knew exactly what Muli was plotting.
Although Muli had always shown her kindness, even asking about her well-being, acting like a perfect gentleman.
However, Xiao Yixian, who knew Muli's private conduct, had no good feelings for him whatsoever. In Xiao Yixian's eyes, he was like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
He thought she was just a delicate flower protected by Wanyao Trading Firm, but he didn't know that having wandered alone since childhood, she was hardly a delicate flower.
Xiao Yixian had seen Muli's signal to the lewd man beside him clearly, and she even knew exactly what they were going to do next.
Looking at Qi Lin and the two girls, although Xiao Yixian was not one to meddle in others' affairs, she could still offer discreet reminders if she was able to.
Mainly, seeing Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, Xiao Yixian, as a fellow woman, could almost foresee what fate the two girls would meet if they fell into the hands of others.
