Xiao Luo Xuan's eyes were filled with a glow of anger.
He had always been reluctant to believe in the evil of human nature.
However, he never expected that human nature could be so malevolent!
Abandoning their own daughter once was not enough.
Incredibly, they wanted to abandon her a second time!
The reason, just because she cried at night and disturbed their sleep!
Just because she was seen as a liability by the family!
Xiao Luo Xuan hadn't slept for two days and nights.
Yet at this moment, he felt an unprecedented clarity in his anger!
The conversation in the room continued.
After the man spoke, the woman's voice came through.
"Throwing her away again would be possible, but even if that kid doesn't meddle, what if someone else does and brings her back?"
"Well, sweetheart, then what else can we do?"
"How about we... sell her?"
"Sell her?"
The man seemed somewhat tempted.
Only to hear the woman say.
"Yes, sell her.
Sell her to a family in another village as a child bride, there should always be someone who wants her.
Especially those families with a foolish son, they're very welcoming.
Although there's one extra mouth to feed, when she grows older she can help with the work, and when she's of age, she can marry and become their daughter-in-law; surely someone will buy her."
Now, the man was greatly tempted.
"Alright, alright, that's what we'll do!
How did I not think of this before, hahaha, now this liability can become an asset!"
Bam!!!
As the man was happily celebrating, waving his arms.
Their door was kicked open by Xiao Luo Xuan!
Seeing it was Xiao Luo Xuan, the man and woman's expressions changed instantly.
"Young brother, you..."
Xiao Luo Xuan was now beyond furious.
"You —— dare call yourselves parents?!"
Under the dim light.
The man and woman were somewhat intimidated by Xiao Luo Xuan's gaze.
Especially that eye with the double pupils!
However, mentally, the man felt Xiao Luo Xuan was just a child, and his confidence grew.
Moreover, being the father of this liability, he felt even more assured.
"Little guy, since you've found out, we won't hide it from you.
We intend to sell her, you're just a kid, what can you do about it~"
The man wore a smug expression.
At this moment, Xiao Luo Xuan had already gripped an arrow in one hand and a hatchet in the other!
This left the unarmed man and woman somewhat flustered.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Do you want to kill us? The government office won't let you get away with it!"
"Let me tell you, we are her biological parents, even if this matter goes to the government office, it's up to us to decide what happens to her!"
Xiao Luo Xuan stared fixedly at them, simply repeating.
"People like you —— dare call yourselves parents?!"
The man at this moment acted as if he held power over Xiao Luo Xuan.
"Haha, are you not convinced?
If you're not, why don't you become Emperor and change all the laws?
For now, how we deal with her is up to me!"
Xiao Luo Xuan clenched his fist tightly.
"If I become Emperor someday, I will change all unjust laws in the world, so that all people can live in peace!"
The man and woman opposite.
Were even struck with a sense of fear from Xiao Luo Xuan's words at this moment!
The people in the Celestial Emperor Palace watching this scene.
"Could it be that the Celestial Emperor's initial desire to become Emperor originated from this little girl?"
"If I become Emperor someday, I will change all unjust laws in the world, so that all people can live in peace! The first part, the Celestial Emperor did accomplish."
"Indeed, after the Celestial Emperor took power, many laws were changed, such as the one forbidding cultivators from wantonly slaughtering mortals; without this decree, countless commoners might have suffered."
"It's a pity that the Celestial Emperor ultimately failed to fulfill the second part, to ensure peace for all people, and lost his initial determination!"
The cultivators in the Righteous Alliance watched this scene.
Among them were staunch anti-Celestial Emperor alliance members.
Some had switched sides to the Celestial Emperor's forces not long ago.
There were even the Celestial Emperor's Grand General and sworn brothers.
All looked silently at this scene.
The Ten Great Empresses at this moment, also focused their gaze on this scene.
Fell silent.
Luo Lixing at this moment, looked completely stunned.
Wang Teng witnessing all this, could not help but feel a bit panicked.
Something was wrong, very wrong!
These allies of his came to rebel against the Celestial Emperor.
Why did it seem like they were being swayed by the Celestial Emperor's vow?
"Ahem, everyone, don't be fooled by the current Celestial Emperor.
Who couldn't chant slogans? Anyone could say them.
To take a step back, even if the current Celestial Emperor still has the intention to benefit the people, he will eventually change in the future.
Don't forget the various evil acts committed by the Celestial Emperor!"
Wang Teng's words jolted many awake.
Indeed.
The Celestial Emperor changed the laws; it contributed to the world.
But the evil acts committed by the Celestial Emperor have even overshadowed his contributions.
Their actions to resist the Celestial Emperor were undoubtedly the right thing to do.
...
In the scene, the man seemed a bit dazed by Xiao Luo Xuan.
However, he still didn't take it to heart.
"Well then, wait until you become the Emperor old man~"
Xiao Luo Xuan remained silent.
Emperor old man?
What he just mentioned about becoming an emperor wasn't the Emperor!
He had read in books before that in the Cultivation Realm, there is also a supreme Celestial Emperor.
If you are to be, be that highest Celestial Emperor!
But these words were only thoughts in Xiao Luo Xuan's heart, he did not say them out loud, there was no need to waste words with these people.
Xiao Luo Xuan reached out his hand.
"Give her to me."
The man frowned.
"What are you trying to do now?"
Xiao Luo Xuan took a deep breath.
"Weren't you intending to sell her? I'll buy."
The man and woman were both startled upon hearing this.
"You? Do you have money?"
Xiao Luo Xuan turned and left.
"Wait!"
Xiao Luo Xuan ran wildly up the mountain, fearing that a delay might lead to changes.
However, since the man and woman intended to sell the girl baby, it seemed she wasn't in immediate danger.
Xiao Luo Xuan found the Hanging Eye White Tiger he had slain before.
Although this Hanging Eye White Tiger had been skinned and had its limbs chopped off, its body remained intact.
It wouldn't be exaggerating to call it a treasure!
Indeed, just as Xiao Luo Xuan thought.
This Hanging Eye White Tiger was in the process of transforming from a fierce beast to a demon beast.
No ordinary beast dared to gnaw at it, and over these days, the flesh hadn't decayed.
For the people of that small village, it wouldn't be exaggerating to call it a treasure!
Xiao Luo Xuan dragged the corpse of the Hanging Eye White Tiger back to the outside of that family's house.
"This Hanging Eye White Tiger is yours, is it enough?"
The man and woman were both a bit shocked at the sight.
It was their first time seeing such a large Hanging Eye White Tiger carcass.
Even without the skin and limbs, the tiger head remained.
It was genuinely invaluable!
"Enough, enough, enough!"
The woman was delighted.
The man, however, appeared even greedier.
"It's still not enough, you need to add the tiger skin clothes from your body."
"Wait."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Luo Xuan went beside to change clothes.
The clothes drenched in blood already had been cleaned by him.
He put on this set of clothes, took off the tiger skin clothes and handed them to the man, finally appeasing him.
"Hahaha, this time we've hit the jackpot!
Come on, come on, this worthless thing is yours now, she will be your child bride, you can order her around as you wish."
Xiao Luo Xuan carefully took the baby girl.
The baby girl looked at Xiao Luo Xuan, suddenly stopped crying.
She smiled adorably, full of cuteness.
Xiao Luo Xuan also returned her smile in kind.
He held her and walked into the night, leaving only a silhouette to the man and woman.
"Whatever relationship I have with her is none of your concern."
Xiao Luo Xuan and this little girl disappeared into the night.
Looking at the baby girl in his arms.
"I have no home, you have no home either.
From now on, we'll rely on each other, never to be apart.
You are my——"
Xiao Luo Xuan recalled that he once told his father he wanted a sister.
He thought of himself long having browsed the books, giving her the name Lixing.
He thought of the child who didn't survive in his mother's womb, perishing even before birth.
Xiao Luo Xuan looked at the baby girl in his arms, his expression full of tenderness.
"From now on, you are my sister.
As long as your brother has a bite to eat, you will never go hungry.
Your brother will shelter you from the wind and rain, as long as your brother is around, never will anyone bully you.
From now on, you will be called— Luo Lixing!"
