Chapter Twelve: Keep Him at Arms Length

  Looking at the handsome young man with a joyful face, Xun Ers slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she ignored his shouts, turning around and walking away.

  "Miss Xuner!"

  As Xuner turned around, the handsome young mans pale face suddenly became anxious, and he quickened his pace, finally blocking Xuners path.

  Blocked by the young man, Xun Er had to stop in her tracks. A pair of narrow and long autumn water eyes, with a hint of laziness, slightly narrowed, gazing at him lightly, yet remaining silent.

  "Miss Xun..." The young man, who had always been surrounded by beauties, was stared at by the girls autumnal eyes, and his breathing became somewhat urgent. His usual eloquence seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.

  "Mr. Galileo, if you have nothing else to say, would you mind stepping aside? I still have business to attend to."

  Looking at the young man with a slightly flushed face, Xuner finally spoke up. The soft and delicate voice of the girl made the pale face of the young man opposite her suddenly surge with a somewhat unhealthy flush.

  "Heh heh, Miss Xuner, what brings you to the market today? I just so happen to be free, why dont we take a stroll together?" With a deep breath, Galileos smile lit up his face, warm and radiant. This smile, combined with his identity and appearance, had helped him successfully win over many beauties in the past.

  "Mr. Galileo, Ive already said that I have something to attend to! Could you please step aside?" Yuners small mouth was slightly pursed, her tone flat and without the slightest fluctuation.

  He was rejected by Xianger in one sentence, and Jie Ous mouth twitched slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. He reached into his pocket and fished out a chain, which was a pale blue-gold color. The chain was made of gold-blue iron, and at the connection point, a green magic crystal that had been polished into a round bead shape hung from it. A faint green glow emanated from it, making the chain look beautiful and elegant. It seemed that this small and delicate chain was certainly not cheap.

  "Hehe, Miss Xuner has something on her mind, and its a bit too much for Galiuo to stop her again." Galiuo carefully held the wooden charm chain and smiled obsequiously: "This is a wooden spirit chain that I just bought in the market, although its not worth much, but it also comes with a first-class wood attribute magic crystal, which has a great amplifying effect on the recovery of Dou Qi. Miss Xuner hasnt become a Dou practitioner yet, so this accessory is simply the most suitable for you. Its just a small token of my intentions, please dont refuse, Miss Xuner... or else Galiuo will really lose face in front of his subordinates..." By the end of his words, Galiuo even intentionally added a bit of humor, and his subordinates around him also cooperated with a few laughs.

  Looking at Garios actions, Xuner furrowed her eyebrows again, feeling somewhat helpless towards this stubborn man.

  Just as she was about to refuse, her gaze suddenly stopped at the green magic crystal on the connecting part of the hand chain. She remembered Xiao Yans hard work in finding the wood system magic crystal earlier. The long eyelashes of Xun Er blinked lightly, and her cold small face seemed to have softened a bit...

  Looking at Xuner, who seemed to be making a move, Galileos heart was delighted, and he hastily handed over the wooden spirit chain, saying: "Miss Xuner doesnt have to be polite, the Galileo family and the Xiao family are among the three major families of Wutan City, sending each other small things, no one will say anything."

  "Get the bracelet, take the magic crystal to Xiao Yans brother, and that bracelet... Take advantage of his carelessness, throw it away." A slightly playful thought flashed through her mind, and Xuner didnt hesitate anymore. Just as she was about to reach out, a palm quickly grasped her small hand.

  Her hand was caught, Xuner was stunned, the fighting spirit in her body flowed rapidly, and just as she was about to struggle free, the boys soft hum made her obediently stop struggling.

  Her gaze shifted slightly, and Xun Er saw Xiao Yan suddenly appear behind her. Her line of sight moved up a bit, but she caught a glimpse of a somewhat unsightly tender little face.

  "What kind of person is this, dont you know yet?" He glared at Xun Er fiercely, and in his heart, Xiao Yan secretly scolded himself. Then he raised his head and smiled: "Galeot Young Master, your good intentions, Xun Er has understood, sorry, the thing, take it back."

  Looking at the tense atmosphere, a hint of anger flashed in Galileos eyes, but in front of the beauty, he had to maintain his composure and said with a forced smile: "Young Master Xiao Yan, I just saw that Miss Xuner wasnt wearing any accessories, so I thought Id show some kindness. Dont you want some small ornaments to add to Miss Xuners beauty?"

  With a sigh of resignation, Xiao Yan glanced at the wooden spirit chain in Galis hand and also pulled out a pale green wristband from his pocket. He said irritably: "You like wristbands so much? Here, take it, dont go around picking up other peoples things for no reason. Ive told you before, no good deed goes unpunished, and with that silly look on your face, who knows if someone will cheat you and you wont even know why."

  As Galiaro heard Xiao Yans sarcastic words, a chill rose on his face, but when his eyes fell on the chain in Xiao Yans hand, he was taken aback and lost his smile.

  Xiao Yans wristband, in terms of material, was clearly just a street vendors goods that wouldnt exceed five gold coins. His Wooden Spirit Chain, on the other hand, was an authentic Magic Crystal accessory that had cost over a thousand gold coins when he bought it. The two wristbands were worlds apart in terms of style, price, and practicality, with no room for comparison. Gareleo couldnt help but mock Xiao Yan, saying: "Young Master Xiao Yan, although I knew you didnt have a high status in your own family...you dont have to be so stingy with Miss Xun, do you?"

  Ignoring Gao Les sneer, Xiao Yan turned to the girl who was staring at the chain and waved his hand impatiently, saying: "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, just throw it away. It only costs two or three gold coins anyway."

  "Hmph..." Listening to Xiao Yans words, not only did Jia Lie laugh, but even the group of subordinates beside him burst into mocking laughter.

  However, the sarcastic laughter did not last long and was suddenly cut off like a beheading, stuck in the throat, and the stunned expression of the crowd with their mouths open was extremely comical.

  The girl who was originally a bit dazed was shocked awake by Xiao Yans actions, and her hands almost unconsciously quickly snatched the chain, after the chain was in hand, Xun Er only then came back to herself, feeling that she had perhaps been a bit too hasty...

  A faint blush appeared on her delicate small face, but Xun Er was also a very natural person. After being slightly shy, she straightforwardly put the chain on her slender white wrist and lifted her head to reveal a clear and lovely smile: "Thank you, Brother Shao Yan."

  Galeios face turned slightly green with envy as he stared at Xun Er, who was displaying a normal girl-like demeanor in front of Xiao Yan. He dryly laughed and said: "Heh heh, I didnt expect Miss Xun Er to have such unique hobbies, it seems Ive underestimated her."

  Xiao Yan glanced at Galiuo in front of him, his eyes sweeping over the golden star on his chest, and he couldnt help but feel a little surprised: "When I saw this guy last year, he should have been a nine-stage Dou Zhe Qi. Unexpectedly, he successfully condensed the Dou Zhe Qi Xuan this year. At just 21 years old, he became a one-star Dou Zhe, this talent... can only be considered above average..."

  Seeing that the guy had no intention of leaving, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and spoke lazily, not showing any courtesy due to the others strength. The Xiao family and the Gali family didnt have a good relationship anyway, so he didnt need to show humility. Rubbing his nose, Xiao Yan said indifferently: "Young Master Gali, your philandering habits are known throughout Wutang City, but Xuner is still young and doesnt have time to play early love games with you. So, please trouble yourself to go harass other families daughters in the future."

  "Stay away from him from now on."

  After saying this, Xiao Yan also ignored Galiuos ugly face and, relying on his age advantage, turned his head to lecture Xun Er again in a condescending manner.

  "Oh."

  Her bright and lively eyes blinked lightly, and she nodded indifferently. Galen was just a stranger she had met a few times, but Xiao Yan was irreplaceable to her. Since he said to stay away, then so be it.

  This multiple-choice question is not difficult for Xiang Er.

  Many friends said that the new books level setting has not been brought out, so Ill explain it here: The levels of a Douluo Continent fighter are as follows: Fighter, Master Fighter, Great Master Fighter, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, Dou Sheng, Dou Di, and God Dou Emperor. Each level is divided into nine stars.
