What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)
Chapter 88: Completion of the Transaction

“Xiao Lan, thank you~”

Near Qingshan Town, Xiao Yixian gently stroked Xiao Lan’s head, smiling softly.

Since Xiao Lan was a Magical Beast and couldn’t enter Qingshan Town, Xiao Yixian had let it carry her and Xiao Yan to a nearby location.

“Go on~ See you next time~”

Xiao Yixian waved her hand and bid farewell in a soft voice. Xiao Lan let out a loud cry and soared high into the sky, heading towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Watching the departing blue eagle, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.

It was truly remarkable how beings of different races, such as humans and Magical Beasts, could coexist harmoniously. In contrast, humans were often engaged in schemes and deception, and their words to one another were often meaningless.

Truly, it was lamentable.

“Let’s go too.”

Xiao Yixian softly called out, entering Qingshan Town ahead. Xiao Yan followed behind at a leisurely pace.

“That guy, Mu Li, should have already returned.”

Walking on the green bricks of the town, Xiao Yixian spoke calmly. Xiao Yan’s gaze sharpened, and a cold intent surfaced in his eyes.

Having anticipated Xiao Yan’s thoughts, Xiao Yixian turned her head and gently reminded him.

“Calm down. Apart from the fact that the Wolf Head Mercenary Company is the largest mercenary group in Qingshan Town, Mu Li’s father, Mu She, is also a Two-Star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). Don’t act impulsively.”

Although Xiao Yan could instantly kill second-tier Magical Beasts, Xiao Yixian still didn’t quite believe that he could handle the entire Wolf Head Mercenary Company, including Mu She. Xiao Yixian didn’t want Xiao Yan to go to his death.

“…Ah, I understand.”

Xiao Yan responded calmly, but the killing intent in his eyes didn’t dissipate in the slightest.

For someone like Mu Li, he had to kill him—it was only a matter of time.

“Boss Yao, I’m back!”

Arriving at the entrance of Wan Yao Pavillion, Xiao Yixian shouted loudly. Since it was already night and she didn’t want to disturb the nearby residents, she didn’t raise her voice too much. Xiao Yan stood silently beside her.

Just as Xiao Yixian finished shouting, the door of Myriad Medicines Hall was abruptly pushed open.

“Xian’er! You’re finally back… Huh?”

Boss Yao’s expression froze for a moment, his face still carrying the lingering worry and recent joy. He looked down and saw Xiao Yixian squatting on the ground, covering her nose with closed eyes. Xiao Yan was in the same position beside her.

Clearly, when Boss Yao opened the door, he accidentally bumped into their noses.

Rubbing her reddened nose, Xiao Yixian slowly stood up and complained discontentedly.

“Boss Yao… how many times have I told you to be careful when opening the door…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Boss Yao suddenly rushed forward and tightly embraced her, leaving Xiao Yixian momentarily stunned.

Feeling the warmth of the embrace and its vastness, which was currently trembling, silently expressed Boss Yao’s excited heart.

“Xian’er… Welcome home…”

Listening to the trembling whisper near her ear, Xiao Yixian’s expression gradually softened, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

“Ah~ I’m back, Boss Yao…”

After a brief moment of sentimentality, Boss Yao’s excited heart gradually calmed down. He released Xiao Yixian and turned to look at Xiao Yan, whose nose was still a little red.

“You’re back too, Xiao Yan.”

“Well…” Xiao Yan scratched his face lightly and replied calmly, “To be precise, it’s not just a coincidence.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing Xiao Yan’s words, Boss Yao furrowed his brow slightly, then led the two inside Myriad Medicines Hall. After they were seated, Xiao Yixian began recounting the events of the day.

Bang!

After hearing the complete story, Boss Yao suddenly slammed his fist on the table. His usual easygoing demeanor disappeared, replaced by a dark anger that covered his face.

“This Mu Li! He truly is despicable!”

Boss Yao exclaimed in anger. Then he turned to Xiao Yan, lowered his head, and spoke solemnly.

“Xiao Yan! I’m truly grateful this time! For the great favor of saving Xiao Yixian twice, I, Yao Sheng, am indebted to you!”

“No need to be so formal, Boss Yao. I just did what I could.”

Seeing Boss Yao bowing to express his gratitude, Xiao Yan quickly stood up and waved his hand. He then took out the medicinal herbs Boss Yao needed from his storage ring.

“Boss Yao, these are the medicinal herbs I obtained from the marked locations on the map. Please take a look and see if they are what you need.”

Boss Yao glanced at the medicinal herbs Xiao Yan took out, then nodded.

“Yes, these are the herbs.”

Boss Yao took the herbs back to his inner room and placed them down. When he came out again, he held a Blood Lotus Seed in his hand, placing it in front of Xiao Yan.

“Xiao Yan, this is the Blood Lotus Seed. You can confirm it.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Yan replied and reached out to pick up the Blood Lotus Seed. However, before he could do so, Xiao Yixian suddenly exclaimed in shock.

“Blood Lotus Seed?!”

Xiao Yixian quickly grabbed the Blood Lotus Seed from the table before Xiao Yan, carefully examining it with her beautiful eyes. After a moment, her expression became extremely astonished.

Indeed, it was the Blood Lotus Seed, not the Yellow Lotus Seed.

As a physician, Xiao Yixian was well aware that despite the only one-word difference, the prices of these two items differed by at least a thousand times!

“Boss Yao! This…”

Xiao Yixian abruptly stood up, instinctively wanting to reprimand Boss Yao for using such a valuable item for a trade.

However, the words stopped at her lips, and she held them back.

What am I thinking…

Regardless of how valuable the Blood Lotus Seed was, it was a trade between Boss Yao and Xiao Yan. As a third party, she had no right to interfere.

Moreover, Xiao Yan had saved her twice today and even hesitated to give her almost all the treasures in the secret room. What right did she have to speak?

Compared to her life and the treasures in the secret room, a mere Blood Lotus Seed was really too cheap.

Xiao Yixian, oh Xiao Yixian, you’ve become materialistic…

Xiao Yixian scolded herself in annoyance in her heart and deeply reflected on her actions.

Then, Xiao Yixian handed the Blood Lotus Seed in her hand to Xiao Yan.

“I’m sorry, it was my mistake. Here, take it.”

“Oh… Okay.”

Xiao Yan took the Blood Lotus Seed somewhat dazedly, looking at the fluctuating emotions of Xiao Yixian. He couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with her mentally.

“Oh, right!”

Suddenly, Xiao Yixian remembered something and took out the two Dou Techniques and the scroll from her storage ring. She placed them in front of Xiao Yan, causing him to pause for a moment.

“What are these…”

“I don’t need these three. Take them!” Xiao Yixian said, and seeing that Xiao Yan was about to say something, she sternly added, “If you don’t want them, I’ll burn them right here!”

“Uh…”

Xiao Yan froze for a moment, then slowly said after a while, “Xiao Yixian, thanks a lot.”
