Chapter 98 Carelessness
Chapter 98 Carelessness
"Well, I asked this question unnecessarily. I will now exchange the method by which the evil poison body controls its own physique with you. By the way, do you have anything that can bear the soul imprint? It doesn't have to be very good, just something that can withstand it."
After a few breaths, Yao Lao's expression returned to normal and he said.
"The carrier..." Liu Xi's heart moved, and he remembered the Earth-level fighting skills scroll on his body that had almost lost its charm. He raised his fingers lightly and took it out from the storage ring.
Handing the scroll to Yao Lao, he said:
"Senior, this thing should be enough to carry the soul imprint, right?"
"Hmm? You... Hehe, the material of your scroll is not ordinary."
Yao Lao took the scroll with a slightly surprised look on his face. He gently stroked the scroll with his fingers and slowly spread it out. In fact, his own soul perception ability had already explored the scroll.
Earth-level fighting skills... It seems that Xiao Yanzi's friend has an extraordinary fate...
Although the charm of the scroll was greatly lost, some of the written records and the lingering charm of the scroll made Yao Lao clearly understand the mystery of the fighting skills that were once engraved on it.
Of course, Yao Lao remained calm about this. Who doesn’t have some secrets these days?
"Yes, this thing is more than enough to carry the soul imprint!" In front of Xiao Yan and Liu Xi, he nodded slightly.
After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes under the gaze of the two people.
Liu Xi and the other person on the side looked at him without blinking, however, after a few breaths, they did not discover anything. They only felt a slight movement at the level of soul perception.
Obviously, with their current spiritual power, they are still quite far away from reaching Yao Lao's level.
At the very least, if their physical bodies were attacked by someone and they were forced to abandon their bodies, they might not even be able to condense a weak soul body and would disappear on the spot and say goodbye to this world. Not to mention someone like Yao Lao, who could have the strength to fight against Dou Huang or Dou Zong level strongmen with only a soul body.
……
In just a few breaths of time, Yao Lao completed the soul imprint and handed the scroll back to Liu Xi.
"This soul brand can be read and studied three times. You can take a look at it first to see if there is anything wrong before handing it over to the girl. Generally speaking, everyone can master the content after reading it once. This is the characteristic of the soul brand."
Taking the scroll in his hand, Liu Xi waved his hand and said:
"That's not necessary. I still have faith in your character, senior."
Yao Lao was stunned when he heard this, then he narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and asked tentatively: "Oh? What kind of person am I? What kind of person am I?"
As soon as these words came out.
Liu Xi reacted instantly, and his hand holding the scroll broke out in a cold sweat.
Great!
Logically speaking, he should not have known Yao Lao before, so he should not even know the other party's identity, so how could he know what kind of person he was?
For some reason, Liu Xi felt a barely perceptible chill covering the surface of his skin.
It is early summer now, the weather is hot, and it is already afternoon outside.
How could there be coolness or chill?
Fortunately, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances was very strong. After just a moment, he put on a relatively natural smile, and stretched out his hand to hold the shoulder of Xiao Yan, who was the "middleman" between him and Yao Lao, like a good buddy, and said:
"I believe that Xiao Yan, his teacher, must be a good person!"
As he spoke, he threw the incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to Yao Lao.
Beside him, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he silently took off Liu Xi's hand on his shoulder. Yao Lao, who was floating in the air in front of him, took the incomplete map, looked at Liu Xi deeply, and did not continue the topic. He put his hands behind his back and said to him lightly:
"Okay, the deal you wanted has been reached. Strictly speaking, you've suffered a bit of a loss in this deal. You may not know this yet, but any news about any of the top ten Strange Fires on the Strange Fire List will cause a bloody storm on this continent. The value of this incomplete map is far higher than you think. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes..."
In response, Liu Xi smiled and said nothing.
Who can tell what will happen in the future?
Perhaps, while you are still trying your luck and waiting for another fragment of the map, I may have already obtained the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, although it is not the one that was born in this world...
……
Yao Lao returned to the ring on Xiao Yan's finger, which was his "shelter".
Inside the house, after chatting with Xiao Yan for a while, Liu Xi personally sent him out.
Before leaving, Xiao Yan told him that he might have to trouble him with something in the next few days. The content was basically to use his identity to let him go to the Mitel Auction House on his behalf to auction some "pills".
Most likely he realized that the auction house was a mixed bag and there could be all kinds of people there. He had been there so many times that even though he always covered himself with a wide black robe to conceal his identity, he would be exposed sooner or later, just like not long ago, when Ya Fei, whom he often dealt with, inevitably saw through his identity.
Liu Xi agreed to this request.
It's a good thing to do a favor. Although he doesn't flatter Xiao Yan, as the saying goes, more friends mean more paths.
In one's life, one has to make some friends appropriately. You never know, they might come in handy one day, especially in this treacherous and strange world.
The relationship between the two of them is not necessarily very good. In the short term, they just use each other for their own benefit.
But there is always the bond between us coming from the same world and under the same red flag.
After sending Xiao Yan out, Liu Xi returned to the yard and found that the little maid arranged by the Xiao family to be beside him was still standing stupidly in a corner of the yard. She had no sense of vision at all and did not offer to send Xiao Yan back for him.
After all, he is their young clan leader!
Also, even though I just sent her out of the house, I didn’t even boil any tea or anything in such a long time?
Looking at the little maid, Liu Xi suddenly felt that it was no wonder that she had such "bad luck". She was arranged to serve him. With such low emotional intelligence, her interpersonal relationships must not be very good. It was conceivable that she would be excluded and exploited.
It's not surprising at all that this "job" fell on his head.
Before entering the house, Liu Xi left a message:
"When it gets dark, you can go back. From now on, you only need to come during the day. If your manager asks, just tell him that I arranged it."
After he finished speaking, he entered the house.
In the empty open-air courtyard, only the little maid was left, looking timidly at the door that Liu Xi closed from the inside.
For a moment, she felt redundant.
Redundant everywhere...
