A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 73: Fleece One Sheep Till It’s Bald

“Mm, not bad, not bad! You’ve graduated.”

Inside the Xiaohan Secret Realm.

After witnessing Feng Liuli’s actions, Li Xuanxiao, as the teacher, couldn’t help but nod in approval, full of a sense of accomplishment.

All his teachings over the past year weren’t in vain—she hadn’t been swayed by temptation.

Now he could finally focus on his own affairs in peace.

At this moment, Old Sixth Li was hiding five hundred meters underground. His spiritual sense picked up that someone nearby was fighting.

━((′д｀)爻(′д｀))━!!!!

The battle was fierce.

There were people dueling in the southwest, in the northeast...

And in the northwest direction...

Anyone who didn’t know better would think this was a beast-fighting arena.

Li Xuanxiao calmed his spirit and mind.

The real Li Xuanxiao was hidden a thousand meters underground, controlling his external bodies. Only after the battle ended did he emerge from the earth.

At this moment, five or six corpses lay sprawled across the ground.

Li Xuanxiao quickly looted the corpses—there were still some valuables on them.

Looting done, he bolted without a second of hesitation.

With a sweep of divine sense—

Two external bodies to his front left and right front.

Two more to his rear left and rear right.

Like migrating geese, the strong guarded the sides.

The weak, pitiful, helpless Li Xuanxiao was protected in the center.

Only, this goose was a little big.

Li Xuanxiao headed north, deliberately avoiding crowded areas.

The haul so far wasn’t huge—mainly because he was too cautious, avoiding fights with anyone.

Whenever he saw someone, he stayed far away, and because of that missed out on many treasure-hunting chances.

Still, Li Xuanxiao wasn’t in a rush.

Sure, if he hurried, he might find some treasures that could help with cultivation.

But he might also die, body and soul destroyed.

The gains and risks just didn’t balance out.

A few more days passed.

Li Xuanxiao crouched beside a stream, eyeing the herbs growing nearby.

It was fishmint, an important ingredient in refining Soul Pills.

Li Xuanxiao carefully dug it up, pulling out the entire root system.

He glanced at his storage ring.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

It was already filled with plenty of precious materials.

As expected, secret realms were something else—Li Xuanxiao was quite satisfied.

He continued hurrying along, searching for valuable resources.

As a competent alchemist, how could he not recognize raw materials?

Under Li Xuanxiao’s spiritual eyes, no treasure could hide.

He casually plucked a spiritual fruit, made sure it wasn’t poisonous, then took a big bite.

The feeling of collecting materials like this was amazing—pure safety.

It was just like playing an online game in his past life.

Li Xuanxiao never liked fighting others.

He preferred quietly lurking in some desolate corner, killing weak monsters with no danger, and collecting all sorts of loot.

Seeing them neatly lined up in his warehouse—that was a comfort beyond words.

After another fifty-plus li—

Li Xuanxiao sensed someone’s presence from a distance.

He immediately hid.

...........

“Help... help!!! Someone save me!”

A massive spiderweb stretched out, and on that web lay a curvy woman.

Her body trembled slightly, her once-fair skin now pale from fear and cold.

Her limbs were tightly bound by strong spider silk, unable to move at all.

The strands seemed almost alive, tightening and shrinking continuously.

A giant brown spider was slowly crawling toward her.

Its hideous face was chilling, and its sharp fangs glinted coldly.

As it drew closer, the woman’s breathing grew rapid, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.

The huge spider reached her side, beginning to wrap her in more layers of silk, binding her tightly like a carefully made cocoon.

“Help!! Save me! Someone, please save me!”

As the woman cried out again and again,

Her voice gradually grew weak.

“Someone... save me... please, I don’t want to die!”

“I just picked up a Bone-Washing Flower... I can’t die like this.”

Even now, her hand still clutched the Bone-Washing Flower.

Bone-Washing Flower.

A key ingredient for refining Marrow Cleansing Pills.

Judging from its color, this one was top-grade—even in the Xiaohan Secret Realm, it was among the best herbs.

At that moment, a figure who’d been hiding in the shadows for years finally made his move.

Li Xuanxiao stepped out without hesitation.

He was fast.

A blur of movement—and even the female cultivator didn’t catch his face.

The woman’s lips curved into a faint smile.

Come save this damsel in distress...

And then, the Bone-Washing Flower in her hand vanished.

Woman: .........

“Motherf*****!! You motherf****”

Li Xuanxiao, clutching the Bone-Washing Flower, instantly used Earth Escape Technique and vanished.

The female cultivator’s mouth twitched, her eyes blazing with fury.

In a flash, she broke free of her bindings. The spider that had been about to attack her froze.

The woman flipped onto the spider’s back, “Chase him! Don’t let him get away.”

The spider was her spirit beast. She had been planning to use the Bone-Washing Flower as bait,

Stage a damsel-in-distress act to lure in a hero.

Then she’d catch him off guard and steal his loot.

But she hadn’t expected the other guy to be even worse than her.

Not only did he not help—he struck while she was down.

She swept her divine sense, but the thief’s aura had completely vanished.

He ran fast!

She trembled in rage, patted her chest, and muttered:

“Don’t be mad! Don’t be mad. Sometimes things just go wrong. Stay calm! I already lost the Bone-Washing Flower—I can’t afford to lose more over this.”

Once she got her emotions in check,

She had her spider re-spin the web and wrap her up again. Then she pulled out another treasure from her storage ring.

“Aiya.”

“Help!”

“Someone save me!”

“I just obtained a Longevity Fruit. It can be used to refine Longevity Spirit Pills, which extend lifespan... I can’t die now..”

The female cultivator’s pitiful voice rang out.

The next second, a black shadow flashed by.

She blinked—and the Longevity Fruit in her hand was gone.

Now she was truly furious.

You’re not done yet, huh!!!

Fleece one sheep till it’s bald.

This time, she reacted instantly and gave chase.

She summoned a magical artifact and locked onto the black figure ahead.

“Die!!”

A silver hairpin turned into a streak of light and pierced the shadow.

She felt like she had finally avenged herself, adding a poison palm strike to his back, knocking him to the ground.

“Took my poison palm? Don’t even think about walking away alive!”

The person collapsed, convulsing, face turning a deep purple.

Huh?

Where’s my Longevity Fruit? Why doesn’t he have a storage ring?

With a poof, the person turned into an octopus tentacle.

Such a brilliant technique!!

The woman knew things had gone wrong. She turned her head and saw—

In the distance, a figure struck down her spirit beast spider with a single blow, hoisted its corpse, and ran.

Woman: .........

“B*****d! Stop right there!!”
