Chapter 1: The Awkward Crossing

  Lin Xiao Feng glanced at her sideways, "A few hundred gold coins!"

  Several hundred gold coins?

  Liao Huanxiang's clear and bright eyes suddenly sparkled, giving Lin Xiaofeng a sudden feeling of inviting a wolf into his home.

  As expected, as soon as Liao Huanxiang heard that Lin Xiaofeng had several hundred gold coins, she directly took these few hundred gold coins as her own and began to allocate them with a glib tongue. "The houses in Lie Feng City are also divided into many types, the western houses are the most expensive, one month is 100 to 1,000 gold coins. We just started, and you're a beast warrior, can't be too shabby. Let's go to the south of the city to take a look, the houses there are still pretty good. Maybe we can rent an independent courtyard, estimated to be around 30-50 gold coins per month, plus buying furniture and so on... Hey, Lin brother, don't walk so fast..."

  The two arrived in the southern part of the city, and Liao Huanxiang finally calmed down and began to look for a suitable house.

  After half a day, Lin Xiaofeng finally witnessed the clever words of Liao Huanxiang, that was simply tongue splitting lotus flower, clever tongue like a sharp knife!

  A common small yard with three rooms, priced at thirty gold coins a month, was cut down to twenty gold coins a month by him!

  One rent is for a year. What's even more bizarre is that the landlord happily took away over 200 gold coins, leaving Lin Xiaofeng in admiration!

  Liao Huanxiang pushed open the courtyard door, looked around in a circle, and muttered to herself, "A house like this costs twenty gold coins a month! If I had the capital, I'd buy thirty suites in one breath, become a leisurely landlord, and spend my days taking a big dog for a stroll. By nightfall, I'd go collect rent... at least several dozen gold coins would be mine every day! What a wonderful life that would be!"

  Listening to Liao Huanxiang's great dream, Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled.

  Lin Xiaofeng was quite satisfied with this small courtyard, three rooms, and an additional small side room, as well as a small yard, the environment was also quite quiet.

  "Whoosh!"

  Lin Xiaofeng casually took out a hundred gold coins and threw them at Liao Huanxiang, "I'll go pick up my sister, you arrange for some furniture and daily necessities, by the way, do you know how to wash clothes and cook?"

  Liao Huanxiang was overjoyed to receive the gold coins, but as soon as she heard Lin Xiaofeng's last sentence, she suddenly stared blankly and blinked her eyes, "Washing clothes and cooking?"

  Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng said: "Let's hire a servant, for washing clothes and cooking, I think neither of us is good at it!"

  "This is easy, I'll definitely get it done perfectly!"

  Liao Huanxiang was overjoyed and hastily patted her chest, causing a wave of ripples to surge forward, saying in a crisp voice.

  Lin Xiaofeng knew what kind of person Liao Huanxiang was, so he didn't say much. After giving a brief instruction, he turned around and left.

  One hundred gold coins, Liao Huanxiang was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling with delight. Her cunning eyes darted back and forth as she thought about how to make Lin Xiaofeng's task a success while also secretly keeping some of the profits for herself.

  ……

  Lin Xiaofeng waited for a moment at the school gate and it was time for dismissal.

  The school was filled with children under twelve years old, who walked out of the school one after another.

  "Brother!"

  Lin Xiaohua's little face was rosy and plump, with a backpack on her back, she jumped and hopped to Lin Xiaofeng's front.

  Lin Xiaofeng rubbed her temples and smiled, asking: "How's your study going?"

  "The teacher taught me everything, like history, arithmetic, writing... I learned it all very quickly, and the teacher even praised me..."

  Lin Xiaohuo swung her small braids with satisfaction, and her dark eyes looked exceptionally beautiful.

  "Hmm, good job, just like my sister..."

  Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but praise her, his sister was so outstanding that it made him feel extremely delighted.

  The brother and sister walked while talking.

  Four more figures emerged from the classroom, three of whom were around the same age as Lin Xiaohua, all eleven or twelve years old. They were boys with bright clothes and light movements, clearly not ordinary children.

  In front of the three boys was a robust young man with a warrior's belt around his waist, and to their surprise, it was Pan Xueyin!

  Pan Xueyin walked out of the classroom with three people, he also passed the assessment of Beast Ability Martial Hall today and obtained the Beast Ability Warrior Belt.

  Without warning, Pan Xueyin suddenly saw Lin Xiaofeng's back, and his smile froze instantly.

  "Second Uncle, what's wrong?"

  A tall boy on Pan Xueyin's left side raised his head and asked

  Pan Xueyin's eyes were filled with resentment and apprehension as she stared at Lin Xiaofeng and his sister, her brow furrowed in inquiry: "Ming Gang, who are they..."

  Following Pan Xueyin's line of sight, the boy called Pan Minggang scrunched up his nose and pouted: "That's Lin Xiaohua, who just entered school two months ago. The one picking him up seems to be his older brother!"

  "Big brother?"

  Pan Xue's eyes flashed with hatred, and she looked down at Pan Minggang again, suddenly revealing a sinister tone: "Minggang, from now on in school, find an opportunity for me to teach that little girl a lesson..."

  "What's wrong with Lin Xiaohuo?" Pan Minggang laughed and said carelessly, "We've been looking down on her for a long time. This Lin Xiaohuo just came to the school, but she learns well and often secretly talks about us behind our backs. Since Snow Silver Second Uncle says so, we'll find an opportunity to beat her up."

  "She's a girl, won't it be somewhat bad if we hit her?" One of the boys hesitated and said: "My dad says men can't hit women!"

  A slightly chubby boy snorted: "Your dad is just an ordinary warrior, but Snow Silver's uncle is a beast warrior."

  "Cough"

  Pan Xueyin's face turned slightly red, "Just take her away and it'll be fine, no need to beat her up!"

  "Second Uncle, don't bother about it anymore, leave it to me!" Pan Minggang was the leader of the three boys and readily agreed.

  "Alright, today I'll take you guys out for a bear meat meal!"

  Pan Xueyin burst out laughing, gazing at the back of Lin Xiaofeng and his companion, her eyes gleaming with excitement and complacency. "Lin Xiaofeng, I'm not your match," she thought to herself, "but making your sister cry and howl in despair, heh heh, that's also a way for me to vent my anger."

  "Thank you, Second Uncle!" Pan Ming and his two companions were overjoyed, and they escorted Pan Xueyin out of the school.

  "Ah Chu~"

  Walking with his sister on the street, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly let out a sneeze and rubbed his nose, muttering: "I'm in great shape, unless someone is thinking of me?"

  "Wow, what a beautiful Phoenix!"

  Lin Xiaohuo suddenly let go of Lin Xiaofeng's hand, stopped in front of a stall selling ornaments, and picked up an exquisite jade pendant carved into a circular shape with the pattern of a mythical creature.

  This stall sells all kinds of ornaments and trinkets, all made from animal materials, this jade pendant is made from the teeth of a strange beast.

  Lin Xiaofeng turned his head and saw that his sister was staring blankly at the Xuanhuo Tianfeng Jade Sign, her eyes shining brightly, lost in thought.

  "The young lady has a wide range of knowledge, this Blazing Heavenly Phoenix Beast is one of the most powerful monsters on the mainland, and many ladies like to wear a Blazing Heavenly Phoenix ornament!" The stall owner said with a smile.
