Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 237: Legend of the Blood Clan (21)

Lan Xiao was waiting outside, but before Ling Li arrived, a bunch of mosquitoes came first.

As soon as Ling Li walked out of the door, he saw the girl jumping up and down on the ground with her arms and legs bared.

"Lan Xiao, what are you...doing?" A magnetic and refreshing voice sounded, especially pleasant in the quiet night.

Lan Xiao's body stiffened and she quickly stood up. She turned around and was about to speak, but was shocked when she saw the man's face.

Just now they went in in a hurry to discuss, and as an outsider, it was naturally inconvenient for her to listen, so she didn't see Ling Li's appearance clearly.

At this time, the cold white light shone on the man, his handsome and delicate face, the collar of his white shirt slightly open, revealing his charming throat, his temperament was mature and steady, and there was a misty look in his eyes.

Fireflies were flying around him like stars, surrounding him, as if they were worshipping the moon god who had walked out of the painting.

For a moment, Lan Xiao was stunned.

"Lan Xiao?" Seeing the girl staring at him blankly, Ling Li stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, reminding her.

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted. Ahem, are you guys done with your discussion?" Lan Xiao shook his head, came back to his senses and asked awkwardly.

"Well, it's getting late. Where do you live? I'll take you back." Ling Li moved closer, but maintained an appropriate distance between men and women.

When asked this question suddenly, Lan Xiao's mouth stiffened slightly and he didn't know how to start for a moment.

"Um...I...uh"

Seeing the girl hesitate to speak, Ling Li explained: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else. It's not safe for a girl like you to go back. If you encounter a vampire, it will be very troublesome."

Maybe it was because of the subconscious closeness? Ling Li would think about taking better care of Lan Xiao.

"I...well, actually, I have been staying at your place these days, emm...taking care of Xiaoyu." Lan Xiao raised his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Can I... stay here for the last night? Don't worry, I'll find a hotel tomorrow."

Sure enough, Ling Li froze.

"It's okay to come later. I can go back and get the things. Can I leave after I finish decocting Xiaoyu's medicine?" The girl asked softly, neither timidly nor pretentiously.

Just when Lan Xiao thought she was going to be harshly rejected, the system prompt sounded and the man's voice came together.

"Ding~ Ling Li's current favorability is 20%, host, please continue to work hard."

"Then stay overnight and leave tomorrow. It's really late today. Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu." Ling Li said, and bowed to Lan Xiao.

Originally, Lan Xiao was still immersed in the joy of his favorability rising, but when he suddenly heard Xiaoyu's name, he instantly understood.

Lan Xiao thought to herself: Wow, I thought he was conquered by my beautiful appearance and kind heart, I never thought it was because of my brother.

It seems that she can't find another place to live, otherwise she will lose contact and she doesn't know when she will see Ling Li again!

But she just said she wanted to leave. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she offered to stay?

Lan Xiao took a deep breath and prayed in her heart that when she left, Xiaoyu would consciously rush over to her and try to keep her with tears in her eyes.

"No need. It's just a piece of cake. Let's go back first. Xiaoyu must be getting anxious waiting alone." Lan Xiao waved her hand, motioning Ling Li to get up.

The two finally set out on their journey home, and soon they finally arrived home.

Ling Li's heart was slightly moved when he saw the wooden house had obviously improved.

The house was lit up with lights, as if waiting for someone to come back, and it was warm. There were flowers and herbs blooming all around, and there was a well-made swing next to it, swinging gently in the wind, making it look like a cozy country cottage.

"This... was all done by you?" Perhaps because he was really moved, Ling Li felt his voice trembling as he spoke.

"Yeah, it should be not bad, right? The living environment for children should of course be comfortable and warmer. When I first came here, the house was leaking wind and rain, and the drizzle at night made my hands and feet cold. I don't know how you guys survive here." Lan Xiao replied.

"I... really thank you, in the future..." Ling Li was about to say thank you when he was interrupted by Lan Xiao.

"There's no need to say thank you, and there's no need to paint me a rosy picture. Just go in and see Xiaoyu." Lan Xiao said with a smile.

"Pancake? I'll go buy it right now..." Although Ling Li was confused, he thought the girl wanted to eat it, so he turned around and went to buy it.

"No, no, no, just...oh, haha, you don't understand. Anyway, don't be polite. Go inside to see Xiaoyu." Lan Xiao looked at the man's dazed look and felt indescribably relieved. She smiled to ease the embarrassment.

"it is good."

As soon as the voice fell, the two were about to enter the house, but unexpectedly the door was opened from the inside.

"Ah, brother, wuwuwu, Xiaoyu heard your voice, you are finally back wuwuwu!" A small figure jumped into Ling Li's arms, rubbing against Ling Li's body with snot and tears.

"Xiaoyu, are you okay? Brother is back." Ling Li gently touched the baby's head, his eyes full of pity.

Lan Xiao suddenly felt that she was a little redundant. She stood aside, not knowing whether to sit or leave.

"Brother, it was Sister Lan Xiao who took care of me when you were not around. Look, Xiaoyu has gained weight." The little baby jumped down and pinched the flesh on her belly to show Ling Li, but she couldn't hold the two taels of flesh, and her little face turned red.

"Haha, don't hold it in." Ling Li took Xiaoyu's hand and walked into the house.

The scene was so beautiful and harmonious, so... they didn't even look back at Lan Xiao until they entered the house and closed the door.

After about three minutes, the door was opened again.

Ling Li poked his head out, his handsome face showing an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I left you behind in my excitement."

Lan Xiao: Brothers...we’ve broken through the defense.

However, even more damaging things are yet to come.

Lan Xiao had just finished boiling the medicine and was looking at the two brothers who were being affectionate with each other, hoping that Xiaoyu would let her stay.

After all, she was usually so nice to him and he was very attached to her, so he would definitely not let her leave.

As a result, the little bastard jumped off the bed and said happily: "Sister Lan Xiao, my brother is back. I'll finish taking today's medicine, and you can leave now?"

Lan Xiao: "Ah? Yes, sister will leave after you finish drinking the medicine."

Why does it feel like a weird question?

The next second, Lan Xiao's premonition was proved.

"Sister, sister, I've finished drinking it. Xiaoyu doesn't have to drink this bitter medicine anymore, and sister doesn't have to stay here. Go home quickly to see mom and dad." The little baby said happily, putting down the medicine bowl.

"Boom!"

It's not that the sky is falling, it's that her heart is broken.

Lan Xiao felt unhappy as she looked at the little bastard's round face.

What a stinky bastard!

"Xiaoyu, stop messing around and come here." Ling Li seemed to see Lan Xiao's embarrassment and called out to Xiaoyu.

"Brother, I can't stay. There is only one bed in the house, and you will have no place to sleep when you come back." The little baby stretched out his hand and tried to pry it open, with an innocent look on his face.

"I'll spread a straw mat on the ground. Lan Xiao, if you don't mind, you can stay here for another night." Ling Li said, and stood up to look for something to spread on the ground.

"Okay, thank you!" Lan Xiao looked at the man's busy figure and said gratefully.

He is worthy of being her target, he is handsome and kind-hearted. I am really feeling amorous towards him!

In the small room, the straw mat was laid on the floor in a short while. Although it was not as comfortable as a bed, Lan Xiao was extremely grateful.

Just as he was about to lie down, the angel began to speak.

"The ground is cold, you and Xiaoyu sleep on the bed. I'll take you to find a place to stay tomorrow." After Ling Li said this, he didn't give the girl any room for choice and lay straight on the straw mat.

He rested his head on his arms, looking quite comfortable.

"Sister, then you sleep on the bed. I want to stay with my brother." The little baby jumped over and went to Ling Li's side, feeling very uncomfortable.

Lan Xiao looked at the little bastard and was speechless for a moment, but she didn't know what to say. She turned off the lights and the room was dark.

A good night's sleep.

……

"Ku ...

A few black crows crowed and landed on a dead branch not far away. Some dark clouds floated by, and the air was refreshing.

It was a rare moment of leisure, so Shi Qi stood on the balcony, enjoying the breeze and relieving his physical fatigue. He had been dealing with government affairs for the past few days and had discovered quite a few problems.

There has been a severe drought in the west district of the city recently; incidents of fallen vampires injuring people have become more and more frequent in the east district of the city; there has been severe waterlogging in the south district of the city, and almost all the farmed chickens and ducks have died, resulting in a loss of more than half of the blood supply to the vampires; only the north district of the city is left, and there are no problems for the time being.

These problems are not trivial matters. If we always send people to deal with them, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the situation.

Shi Qi thought about it and decided to solve the problems one by one in two days.

Just as I was thinking about it, Dill's voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Your Highness, the elder is here and said he wants to discuss something important with you."

"Okay, follow me."

Shi Qi was about to move when he suddenly felt a chill on his shoulder, as if something heavy had fallen on him.

Looking up, Shi Qi saw the crow circling above his head, even with a look of "you can't do it". The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Your Highness, I will kill this stupid bird right now!" Seeing this, Dill was about to rush forward with a knife, but was stopped by Shi Qi.

"No need." Shi Qi was calm and cast a spell to remove the foreign object on his shoulder.

Tutu: The casting action is so familiar that it's heartbreaking.
