After struggling for a long time, when Xiao Yan finally stepped out of the cave and saw Qi Yan'er already waiting, reaching out for the item, he instantly flew into a rage.
At this moment, he had no restraint left and glared furiously at Ling Ying:
"What do you intend to do? With your strength as a Dou Emperor, are you seriously going to take what belongs to my Dou Qi by force?"
"So what if I take it?"
Ling Ying said in a low, cold tone.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, yet he showed no fear outwardly:"No matter whether I obtained anything inside, it was my fate—what does it have to do with you?"
He thought he was clever, ready to strike back with a counterattack!
But the result…
…was that he got struck!
Humiliation. Utter humiliation!
Hearing Xiao Yan's anguished yelling, Qi Yan'er furrowed her delicate brows, feeling completely exasperated.
Does he… have some major illness?
She spread her two small hands helplessly:"I say, Xiao Huang, do you even have any sense?"
"What you obtain in other caves may indeed be your fate, but how could it be your fate to take things from a cave my father prepared for me?"
"If that's your reasoning, then by that logic, if I went to your Xiao family and took all your things, that would also be my fate?"
"This…"
Xiao Yan was left speechless.
He ground his teeth, making a loud "grind, grind" sound.
As his eyes rolled, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of a retort:"Miss Yan'er, you keep saying this cave was prepared by your father for you. But do you have any proof?"
"Proof?"
Qi Yan'er blinked, looking at Xiao Yan as if he were foolish:"Isn't the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture proof enough?"
"And what does that prove?"
Xiao Yan sneered coldly:"You just said yourself that the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture suits Xiao Yixian. The other two items could suit anyone. That only shows it's a coincidence!"
"Xiao Yan, don't try to twist the facts!"
Xiao Xun'er, already enraged, pointed at Xiao Yan with her jade hand and spoke sharply:"This cave was prepared by Sister Yan'er's father. Don't say I didn't warn you—if you still want to claim that item as your own, bear the consequences!"
"Heh heh heh~"
Xiao Xun'er's words only made Xiao Yan even angrier.
A girl who used to call him "Brother Xiao Yan" now treated him with such hostility—what man could tolerate that?
"Consequences? Hahaha!"
"Consequences at most mean death. What do I, Xiao Yan, fear?"
"If you can't produce proof, killing me now only proves you're trying to steal treasures through murder!"
"..."
Xiao Yan's words left the others utterly speechless.
He, a mere Dou Qi novice, actually dared to talk back?
"Miss, can I throw him down?"
Ling Ying pointed at Xiao Yan and asked Xiao Xun'er for permission.
"No need to throw him just yet!"
Xiao Xun'er waved her hand and fixed her gaze on Xiao Yan:"You want proof? Fine!"
"Xiao Yan, now take out what you just obtained from the cave. I believe it's enough to prove everything!"
"Heh~ Xiao Xun'er, your tactics are too naive."
Seeing through everything, Xiao Yan scoffed disdainfully:"You want to trick me into taking it out? Even if I had it, I would…"
"Boom!"
Before he could finish, Ling Ying released his Dou Emperor aura, instantly suppressing his words.
Xiao Yan, still not even a true Dou Warrior, could not withstand the might of a Dou Emperor.
His legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground.
"You… what do you want to do?"
Xiao Yan stared fearfully at Ling Ying, who crouched and extended his "sinister hand" toward him, screaming:"Don't come near me!"
"Shiiish~"
With a tearing sound, Ling Ying forcefully ripped open Xiao Yan's robe!
A small object fell to the ground.
"Dilatory useless fool."
"If you weren't a Xiao family member, I would have killed you a thousand times for slandering Miss Yan'er like this."
After scolding, Ling Ying's hands extended the object to Qi Yan'er:"Miss Yan'er, look~"
Xiao Yan: o(╥﹏╥)oHis double-standard face flips unbelievably fast!
At this moment, Qi Yan'er and the others focused on Ling Ying's hands.
On his black gloves rested an extremely ancient-looking scroll.
Curious, Qi Yan'er took it and examined it, then unrolled the scroll.
When her eyes landed on the contents, she froze slightly:"This is…"
"This material looks so familiar!"
Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yixian spoke simultaneously.
Before the women lay a sheet of parchment of unknown material.
On the slightly yellowed parchment were patterns that seemed to have no rules!
Xiao Yixian, startled, suddenly realized:"Th-this is the same as the map you had, Sister Yan'er!"
"Just as I thought!"
Xiao Xun'er's lips curved slightly:"Sister Yan'er, quickly take out your map and compare it!"
Hearing this, Qi Yan'er immediately recalled the incomplete map obtained from that old man.
As her small hand reached for the little wooden box,
A similarly ancient-looking map, matching the material in her left hand, appeared in her right palm!
"Exactly the same!"
Qi Yan'er beamed with delight:"It looks like it can actually fit together!"
"Buzz!"
Qi Yan'er's words struck Xiao Yan, slumped on the ground, like thunder in his brain.
"How is this possible?"
Xiao Yan shouted in disbelief:"Impossible! This incomplete map… how could it fit with the map in your hands?"
"Nothing is impossible."
By this time, Qi Yan'er had already aligned the incomplete map with the other, and Xiao Xun'er shouted sharply:"Xiao Yan, what do you have to say now?"
"This incomplete map was prepared for Sister Yan'er! It's a treasure-hunting game her father set up for her!"
"Pfft~"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan could no longer hold back; a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
They were playing a treasure-hunting game!
And he…
…was being played!
At this moment, Xiao Yan seemed drained of all strength, his eyes empty.
He… had broken down!
Xiao Yixian glanced at Xiao Yan with annoyance:"Uncle Ling Ying, why not give him one more kick?"
"All right~"
Ling Ying responded. The instant he lifted his right foot, he kicked Xiao Yan heavily.
"Whoosh!"
Following a perfect parabolic trajectory, Xiao Yan flew from the cave entrance!
The mercenaries waiting above watched as a black shadow shot through the air, finally streaking like a meteor toward the depths of the Beast Mountain Range!
"What's that thing?"
"Looks like a little magical beast. Don't worry about it."
Below, Qi Yan'er, excitedly pointing at the treasure map with her small finger, pouted:"Father really is something. He made a treasure map but didn't explain anything. Looks like this map hasn't been fully collected yet, but… it's really fun!"
"Wait a moment!"
At that time, Xiao Xun'er suddenly noticed the pattern at the lower right corner of the incomplete map:
"Sister Yan'er, the shape of this flower looks like… the Pure Lotus Demon Fire!!!"
