Chapter 168: The Gentle and Refined Senior Brother Xu

Xu Xiaoshou shifted his gaze back to the Shi Ye.

Soon, a circular shape appeared above.

With unwavering eyes, he swept with his "Ganzhi" and roughly determined the circumference of Mo Mo's wrist.

A somewhat bulky and swollen bracelet outline emerged, and Xu Xiaoshou frowned, unable to believe this was his handiwork.

"Too much..."

With that thought, he drew out some of the white liquid, and the bracelet immediately became much slimmer. Only then did Xu Xiaoshou nod in satisfaction.

The flames dispersed, he hooked his hand, and the small bracelet flew over.

Freshly out of the oven, warm and hot...

Hmm, that was his feeling—if someone else held it, their hand would probably blister from the heat.

Xu Xiaoshou inhaled, absorbing all the heat from it, and then looked at Mo Mo.

"Hand."

Mo Mo was stunned, and a blush spread across her cheeks. Was he going to put it on for her?

"I can do it myself..."

"I'll do it!"

This sudden shout made Xu Xiaoshou turn his head sharply—it was Mu Zixi again...

"What business is it of yours?"

Mu Zixi puffed out her chest and said confidently: "Men and women shouldn't have physical contact—don't you understand?"

"Uh, that's true..." Xu Xiaoshou then realized, holding the bracelet and glancing around, unsure who to give it to.

"I'll do it myself." Mo Mo smiled and took the bracelet, putting it on herself, and said softly: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Xu Xiaoshou squinted and smiled: "How does it feel?"

"Very good, the Feng Jin Zhi Shu was very successful—it even suppressed my cultivation." Mo Mo praised.

"Um, I mean the size..."

Mo Mo's smile paused. She silently turned the bracelet on her hand once, then said: "It's a perfect fit. Thank you."

"We're all friends!"

Xu Xiaoshou was relieved to see her satisfied. Moreover, he had specially used Ling Yuan to form a sword and engraved some patterns on it.

The milky-white bracelet with carvings was quite beautiful!

"I left some Shi Ye—you don't mind, right?"

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the remaining Shi Ye above the small bathtub and explained: "If I hadn't drawn some out, the bracelet would be too thick and wouldn't look good."

"No problem."

Mo Mo didn't care at all. Initially, she had thought of just giving the substance away, and now getting a bracelet back was already great.

Moreover, this bracelet was...

Mu Zixi pouted as she watched Mo Mo play with the bracelet on her hand, feeling a sourness in her heart.

"Xu Xiaoshou, I want a bracelet too!"

Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes and said: "What do you want a bracelet for? You haven't been possessed by a ghost beast."

He didn't turn back, but planned to shape it again.

There wasn't much Shi Ye left, but making a ring was possible.

Previously, using Ling Yuan to activate it could draw out the sealing energy from the white stone, so perhaps after melting and casting it into a ring, it could still work.

As long as that sealing energy could still be drawn out, whether it was a stone or a ring, it should be effective!

Mu Zixi thought for a while and realized she really had no reason to want one, but no—why give one to Mo Mo and not to his junior sister?

"I want one!"

Her eyes widened, she noticed Xu Xiaoshou still had some white liquid left, and with her small mouth slightly open, she said: "Right, you haven't given me a meeting gift yet!"

Xu Xiaoshou was unmoved, focusing intently. The ring above the small bathtub was taking shape.

He carefully carved and polished it until he thought it was perfect.

"No bracelet, but I have an extra ring. Want it?" Xu Xiaoshou teased, tossing the ring up and down. It was light and suitable for wearing.

Mu Zixi's ears heated up. A ring? This...

Wasn't this a level higher than a bracelet?

"I want it!"

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

Good one—you really dare to want it?

You think beautifully!

"Then, do you want senior brother to help you put it on?" Xu Xiaoshou suppressed his twitching eyebrows and said in a gentle voice.

Help me put it on?

At this moment, Mu Zixi only felt her heart racing, looking at the current Xu Xiaoshou and finding him incredibly gentle.

Don't say it—the young man in front of her, as long as he wasn't acting up, just looking at his face, he was quite attractive.

This was exactly the image of the senior brother she had imagined when she first became a disciple!

Elegant, gentle... Even if she did something wrong, he would just come over and gently rub her head, saying indulgently, "It's okay, I got you."

Ahhh, I'm dying!

Mu Zixi slowly closed her eyes, her pretty face flushed, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Okay."

Xu Xiaoshou's eyelids twitched wildly—you really dare to think!

He lowered his voice, trying to make himself sound gentle, imitating Mu Zixi's tone: "Give me your little hand."

Ah? Little hand?

Mu Zixi almost fainted, trembling as she extended her hand, but heard the man in front seem hesitant: "Hmm, which finger should I put it on?"

No, not that one yet... She strongly suppressed her impulse, and finally rationality overcame emotion, pressing down her ring finger.

"Any... any is fine..."

Before she finished speaking, a warmth came to her fingertip, and Mu Zixi trembled like she was electrocuted, feeling something slip onto her index finger.

Time passed like years!

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the ring was on, and Mu Zixi couldn't hold back the shyness in her heart, turning around to cover her face.

"Thank you." Her voice was almost inaudible.

So hot!

Why is my face so hot? Cool down quickly!

"You're welcome."

Xu Xiaoshou's voice came from behind, but...

Why does it sound a bit far?

Mu Zixi was stunned, turned back, and saw that her senior brother had actually flown into the sky?

"See if it fits?" Xu Xiaoshou nodded slightly, with a scholarly smile.

Mu Zixi's heart raced again, finally moving her gaze from her senior brother to the ring on her hand.

What a beautiful ring—this carving, this color...

Why is it gold?

Mu Zixi was stunned, her pretty face full of disbelief, and her pupils dilated.

She probed with her spiritual sense and shockingly saw a not-too-big space inside, with a jar of honey in it?

"A space ring?"

The world collapsed at this moment. Mu Zixi's willow brows furrowed, and she was furious.

"Xu! Xiao! Shou!"

A thunderous roar seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, making the entire Senluo Milin buzz and tremble.

"Cursed, passive value, 1, 1, 1, 1..."

Xu Xiaoshou in the sky still maintained a gentle and elegant demeanor. He was sure that at this distance, Mu Zixi couldn't reach him, so he had to keep his composure.

"Do you like the gift? Senior brother specially picked it for you—it's the champion reward from my 'Fengyun Zhengba'!"

Mu Zixi took a deep breath; she felt like she was about to spit blood.

Xu Xiaoshou seemed to remember something and snapped his fingers: "Oh, right, about this ring, there's a story!"

"What story?" Mu Zixi was stunned.

Champion ring... Maybe this has special meaning to Xu Xiaoshou?

She felt a bit better.

Xu Xiaoshou flicked his sleeve, his gaze as if piercing through the sky to some unknown place, and said leisurely:

"In my hometown, there's a kind of domesticated pigeon called Fen Ge..."

Now even Mo Mo was confused. What does this have to do with anything? Jumping to pigeons?

A bad premonition rose in Mu Zixi's heart.

Xu Xiaoshou continued: "Many people like to raise this thing, but with so many people raising them, the pigeons fly around chaotically."

"Sometimes they go to the wrong place, and you feed the wrong one..."

He looked at his little junior sister on the ground and pondered: "To prevent mix-ups, owners usually put numbered rings on their Fen Ge, so they won't mistake the pigeons."

"Do you understand?"

His gaze fixed on the little girl.

Mu Zixi lowered her head, her twin tails hanging in front of her chest, actually silent?

Xu Xiaoshou glanced at his info panel.

Strange, why isn't there a waterfall of curses?

He refocused, and saw that his little junior sister had squatted down, not knowing what she was doing...

The next second, Xu Xiaoshou's pupils shook.

He saw Mu Zixi suddenly look up, her eyes actually blood red.

She reached into the ground with her little hand, and dense seeds broke through the soil, instantly turning into countless towering ancient trees rushing toward him.

Each one was red, swelling, as if they would explode on contact.

Countless of them!

"Damn!"

Xu Xiaoshou's face turned green.

I just told a story, and you went dark? Can we still have fun?

"Just kidding..."

"Don't mess around!"
