Fighting: Dragon and Phoenix Alchemist

Chapter 98 Thief?Who is?
Xia Mo found what she wanted, and didn't leave right away. After all, since she came in once, she should take a look.

He walked in another corridor and found a ginseng that was white and clear with many fine roots.

This object was half a foot long, as thick as a wax torch, and looked like a sleeping baby. It exuded a refreshing and strong medicinal fragrance. Just one sniff made Xia Mo's body lively and her soul relaxed.

This is Snow Infant Ginseng!A kind of medicinal material that can make even the powerful Dou Huang jealous. It is a medicinal material that can directly help cultivators refine their cultivation and improve their realm. It has immeasurable magical effects and is priceless.

"Sure enough, the inner courtyard has a rich collection of even such rare medicinal materials." Xia Mo couldn't conceal the joy on her face. She rubbed her hands excitedly, about to reach out and take out the "Snow Infant Ginseng".

"Hey kid, what are you doing here?"

However, just as he stretched out his palm, an extremely slender hand seemed to appear out of thin air, and under Xia Mo's shocked eyes, he took out the Snow Infant Ginseng on the jade plate.

Xia Mo, who was immersed in the scent of Xueying ginseng just now, was startled by the sudden sound. For a while, she didn't notice anything special about the sound.

The target was snatched, but Xia Mo didn't even realize it. He stared blankly at the empty jade plate, and after a moment, he turned his head like an electric shock.

The corner of Xia Mo's mouth twitched slightly when he caught sight of the owner of the little hand beside him with that horrified gaze.

"It's careless, if it wasn't for being immersed in the aroma of "food", people would still come to me with my soul power perception!"

Xia Mo's soul perception has never been weak. It is impossible for ordinary people to walk to him silently, unless they are far stronger than him, otherwise... this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

Appearing next to Xia Mo was a little girl in white clothes who was slightly taller than him. The little girl seemed to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. Her long lavender hair was vertical to her waist. Her cheeks were extremely white and tender, carved with jade. The pair of black and watery eyes blinked at Xia Mo, as if possessing a magical power, which made the shock in Xia Mo's heart dissipate immediately.

It grows like this in the inner courtyard, and it can be within three meters of him without being noticed by him.

Who else besides Zi Yan?
His eyes slowly moved down, but he discovered that Zi Yan was holding a golden medicinal plant like metal in her left hand, and her right hand was tightly holding his target, Snow Infant Ginseng.

"Kid, what are you doing here? Do you also want to steal something?" Seeing that Xia Mo did not answer her words, but stared at her, Zi Yan asked again.

Zi Yan opened her big innocent eyes, looked at Xia Mo with some joy, then picked up the metal-like medicinal herb in her hand, put it into her small mouth, and it seemed that she bit it down with one bite.

This thing, a rare medicinal material called "Vajra Bodhisattva", can be used to refine medicine, but its body is as strong as gold and iron, let alone biting it with teeth, even ordinary flames can't help it.

Zi Yan glanced at Xia Mo, and bit down her neat, white teeth. Immediately, the clear and crisp sound of rock breaking echoed in the spacious room.

Xia Mo looked at a small gap on the "Vajra Bodhisattva", where a few tooth marks could be vaguely seen, drops of golden yellow liquid dripped out from the gap, and fell on the snow-white white jade board On, extremely glaring.

"creak, creak"

The little girl Zi Yan's mouth was wrapped with the bitten "Rudraksha", her teeth kept biting, a trace of golden liquid overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and finally scratched her chin. The "Rudraksha" that was as solid as gold and iron, in this In the little girl's mouth, it was like an ordinary snack. It was easily bitten to pieces and finally swallowed into her stomach.

Using the back of her pink hand to casually wipe away the golden liquid from the corner of her mouth, the little girl in white glanced at Xia Mo.

However, being able to meet her here was not beyond Xia Mo's expectations, after all, the medicinal materials here are the easiest to get.

"Kid, do you also want to steal something?"

Hearing Zi Yan's title and question, Xia Mo finally came to his senses, the corner of his mouth twitched, his face became weird, and he repeated it softly.

Although he is indeed young and a real child, others will basically ignore his age. Few people have called him that in person, after all, his strength lies there.

Zi Yan's figure doesn't look much older than him, and based on her mental age, he is older than her.

Being called by Zi Yan like this, Xia Mo always has a strange feeling in his heart.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, every time the word "children" is called out, Xia Mo always feels that she sees a look of excitement and joy in her eyes.

"Yes, that's right. Is there anyone else here besides you? Tell me quickly, what are you doing here? Do you want to steal something?" Zi Yan heard Xia Mo's whisper and hummed.

"I didn't do anything!"

Seeing that Zi Yan was so persistent in asking him what he was doing here, Xia Mo blinked and chose to speak the truth with his eyes open.

"You can't lie to me. Did you plan to steal something just now? Hmph, I've seen all your actions."

"You read it wrong! And my name is Xia Mo, don't call me a child, you are not much older than me."

Hearing this, Xia Mo rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"You are only so old, of course you are a child." Although Zi Yan seemed to be very obsessed with this word, she did not continue to say it.

"Looking at you like this, you probably want to take this medicinal material. Do you know that you are not allowed to take things here randomly? Promise me one thing, and I don't have to tell the elders about it."

"What's the matter?" Xia Mo asked curiously even though he knew that telling the elder was probably just to scare him.

"Being my little brother, you will never suffer. I will protect you in the future."

???

Several question marks popped up on Xia Mo's head. Why did he suddenly want to accept him as his younger brother?

It seems that this approach is not good for her, what is her motive?
Seemingly aware of Xia Mo's confusion, Zi Yan continued.

"I think you have such strength at your age, and you have the aura of a monster on your body. You must have been unlucky enough to swallow the Transforming Grass. Moreover, the aura on your body is obviously weaker than mine, so if you follow me, I can I'll protect you in the inner courtyard." Zi Yan waved her arms proudly. In fact, she had felt a familiar aura a long time ago. Until today, the moment Xia Mo came in, Zi Yan Yan could feel a very familiar and friendly atmosphere from the other party...

That is, the breath of the blood of the same clan, but it is not the same, but Xia Mo is so young, making Zi Yan think that Xia Mo is also an abandoned clansman just like her!
"Little guy, you should be able to sense it. We have the same blood and aura. You must be my clansman, and I can guarantee that you are younger than me. I will take care of you, so I will never accept you as my little brother." Wrong..." Zi Yan looked at Xia Mo seriously.

Since Zi Yan was brought into the inner courtyard by the Great Elder Su Qian, she was surrounded by human beings. Because of Zi Yan's behavior, everyone was very afraid of her, and even gave her the title of King of Brute Force, so Zi Yan If you don't like to play with the students in the inner courtyard, you don't have many friends.

The monsters in the forest outside, Zi Yan was often bullied by those guys before she transformed into a form, and she needed a lot of energy to grow up, so she often robbed other monsters to protect the heaven and earth treasures, so the relationship was not much better.

As for the First Elder, an old man who had no experience in raising children, he basically left Zi Yan alone after adoption.

All of this resulted in Zi Yan not having anyone to communicate with, and she was very lonely.

Now, suddenly, she met someone who was suspected to be from her tribe and who was in a similar situation to her. Her interest was immediately piqued, so she proposed to accept Xia Mo as her younger brother.

But Xia Mo would not agree, "No, I'm not afraid of those people in the inner courtyard, they can't beat me, you can call me Xia Mo."

"If you sneak in here and get caught, they will definitely arrest you. Those elders are at least the King of Dou," Zi Yan said in a low voice.

"I didn't sneak in, I came in openly, and I'm a student in the inner courtyard, the elders won't punish me, but you, who stole the medicinal materials here, Elder Hao, will trouble you" Xia Xia Mo said with a smile.

"You are also a student, that old man outside? I'm not afraid, he won't dare to do anything to me if he knows!" Zi Yan rolled her eyes cutely, and Zi Yan snorted.
