Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

After Yan Wuxuan finished speaking, Liejiu continued, "Because of that person, I haven't returned to Liehuo City since then."

His parents and younger brother died tragically, and he didn't even have the ability to take revenge. In order to be able to take revenge one day, he had to live. In order to live, he couldn't even come back to pay respects to his parents all these years.

If it weren't for the princess and the third prince coming with enough people, he probably wouldn't have dared to come back.

After hearing what Liejiu said, Ling Yi's gaze fell on Yan Wuxuan's face.

Since that person stopped Liejiu outside the capital, he intended to kill him. Why would he give up because of Yan Wuxuan?

Yan Wuxuan himself said that their cultivation level was no match for that person. That person could have killed Liejiu right in front of Yan Wuxuan, so why would he leave without doing anything?

Unless... he knows that Yan Wuxuan is not someone to be trifled with, or rather, that he shouldn't be trifled with?

Ling Yi withdrew his gaze and casually asked, "Is this why you didn't go directly to Blazing Fire City?"

Yan Wuxin nodded: "It wouldn't be appropriate for Liejiu to go directly with us, so we chose Zhuoguang City, which is closest to Liehuo City, to meet up with you and wait for the people who went to scout to contact us."

"Have the people they sent contacted you?" Ling Yi asked.

Yan Wuxin shook his head: "Not yet."

How long does it take to get to Blazing City from here?

“It will take two days with our flying beasts, but with yours…” Yan Wuxin’s gaze fell on the little golden tiger, and his smile became even brighter: “A spirit-level beast should only take half a day, right?”

Ling Yi looked at Yan Wuxin: "Want to sit?"

"Of course I want to!" Yan Wuxin nodded vigorously. "This is a spirit-level beast!"

This was the first time she had ever seen a spirit-level beast in her life!

Ling Yi curled her lips into a smile: "No, you can't sit down."

Yan Wuxin: "..."

"Although I was rejected, I'm still very happy." Yan Wuxin looked at Ling Yi and sighed, "It's because I liked you the first time I saw you."

"Really?" Ling Yi asked with a half-smile, "Don't you like Mu Shengyuan?"

Yan Wuxin smiled and said, "My heart is big enough to hold both you and Xiaoyuan at the same time."

"Heh." Ling Yi chuckled lightly, "Does Mu Shengyuan know about this?"

Yan Wuxin: "Of course I know!"

"After what happened in Chun Kingdom, Xiao Yuan liked you even more than I did."

Ling Yi chuckled softly but didn't reply.

The carriage soon arrived at the inn they had booked. Yan Wuxin told Ling Yi to take a bath and rest for a while. As for Lin Xinze and Xiao Jinhu... Yan Wuxin left them with Yan Wuxuan, asking him to help them take a bath and put them to sleep.

Yan Wuxuan lowered his head, looking expressionlessly at Lin Xinze in his arms.

Lin Xinze met Yan Wuxuan's gaze and smiled.

The little golden tiger, held in Lin Xinze's arms, followed suit and grinned, revealing its white, gleaming teeth.

Yan Wuxuan: "..."

Lin Xinze stretched out his small hand and silently covered the little golden tiger's grinning mouth.

Yan Wuxuan smiled slightly when he saw this action, and carried the person towards his room.

After Yan Wuxuan bathed Lin Xinze and the little golden tiger, he used his spiritual power to dry them both off before placing them on the bed and then went to deal with the bathwater himself.

When they returned after cleaning up the bathwater, they saw Lin Xinze asleep with Little Golden Tiger lying next to him. Little Golden Tiger opened its eyes when it heard the noise, glanced at the tiger, and closed them again after confirming that there was no danger.

Seeing this, Yan Wuxuan put two pieces of ice into the ice basin to prevent the room from getting too hot, and then left.

...

The next day.

Yan Wuxin knocked on Ling Yi's door. After Ling Yi opened it, she said, "I asked the inn to prepare some food. Have you finished washing up?"

"Okay." Ling Yi responded and walked downstairs with Yan Wuxin. Halfway down the stairs, Ling Yi stopped.

When Yan Wuxin saw Ling Yi stop, he followed Ling Yi's gaze and saw a table in the lower part of the hall filled with steamers. The little golden tiger sat on a chair, grabbed a steamer with its paws, and then opened its mouth wide.

As it moved, all the steamed buns in the steamer fell into its mouth.

Yan Wuxin: "..."

Is this how you eat breakfast?

There were only a few buns in each basket. After Xiao Jinhu finished emptying the basket, he immediately picked up another basket and repeated the action. In the blink of an eye, three baskets of buns were gone.

The innkeeper's waiter stood to the side, clearing away the empty steamers while urging the kitchen to speed up the food preparation, his smile wide and uncontrollable.

The waiter was all smiles, and the shopkeeper was calculating away; they were clearly very happy, but…

Ling Yi looked at Yan Wuxin and smiled slightly: "You said you liked me before, so you should be happy to see me, right?"

Yan Wuxin: "..."

"If you're happy, you wouldn't mind if my beast ate a little, right?" Ling Yi held Yan Wuxin's hand. "You're willing to treat me, right?"

Yan Wuxin's lips twitched. He tried to pull his hand out, but couldn't. He looked up again and met Ling Yi's deep gaze. He smiled and nodded, "I'm very willing."

"Don't worry, your efforts will be rewarded," Ling Yi said with a smile. "I can make it carry you."

"Really?" Yan Wuxin rushed downstairs and ran to the little golden tiger's side: "Is this enough?"

"There's more if you're still hungry, eat more." Yan Wuxin waved his hand: "Order whatever you want, I'll pay."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wuxuan, Liejiu, and the eight guards accompanying him all looked at Yan Wuxin.

Still want to eat?

When the steamed buns were served to the Third Prince, he didn't even touch them!

Yan Wuxuan took a deep breath and looked at the waiter: "Give me a bowl of noodles."

The waiter nodded immediately, then looked at Yan Wuxin: "Miss, would you like something to eat?"

Just as Yan Wuxin was about to speak, the waiter quickly added, "We're out of breakfast items."

"Why?" Yan Wuxin looked at the waiter with surprise: "Even the steamed buns are gone?"

"We do have steamed buns, but not many. We already gave them to the table next to us," the waiter said. "We'll take all the other breakfast items here."

Yan Wuxin's lips twitched. Ling Yi walked over and sat down next to Lin Xinze: "Two bowls of noodles, one large and one small."

After ordering, Ling Yi looked at Yan Wuxin and asked, "Would you like a bowl?"

Yan Wuxin looked at the little golden tiger. It had eaten so many buns, yet not a single drop of oil had gotten on its mouth. How annoying!

"Come on in." Yan Wuxin sat down next to Yan Wuheng and emphasized, "Make sure you add meat, and add plenty!"

"Alright." The waiter responded and immediately ordered someone to do it. When he returned, he brought back five steamers of buns. The buns were placed on the table and were all gone in a few breaths.

Yan Wuxin looked at Ling Yi: "Don't you usually feed it?"

Ling Yi: "It usually hunts its own prey."

Yan Wuxin: "..." No wonder, these snacks are nothing compared to the prey it catches to fill its belly.

Except for Little Golden Tiger, who enjoyed his breakfast, everyone else was just full. However, the shopkeeper was quite happy when it came time to pay the bill.

After breakfast, Yan Wuxin looked at Ling Yi: "There's still no news from Blazing Fire City, we'll have to wait. Since this is your first time in Xiyan, shall I show you around the city?"
