Ye Qiu subconsciously hugged Nangong Xiaoxiao, and his hands felt smooth. Only then did he realize that Nangong Xiaoxiao was completely naked at the moment. He quickly said: "Sister Xiaoxiao, go get dressed quickly."
Nangong Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear Ye Qiu's words. Instead, she nuzzled into his arms and said coquettishly: "I just miss you, Pavilion Master, you love me~"
With that said, he was going to kiss Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was also aroused, and if there wasn't someone around him, he would definitely execute Nangong Xiaoxiao on the spot.
"Sister Xiaoxiao..."
Ye Qiu just spoke, but felt that the body in his arms suddenly stiffened. Then, Nangong Xiaoxiao withdrew from his arms, and his eyes fell on the dirty girl behind him, with surprise and confusion on his face.
"This...whose child is this? Why is he so dirty?" Nangong Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
The girl was startled by Nangong Xiaoxiao's reaction. She instinctively shrank behind Ye Qiu and looked at Nangong Xiaoxiao, her eyes full of fear and uneasiness.
At the same time, two words emerged in her mind involuntarily.
So big!
So white!
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you'd better get dressed first. We'll talk about this later," Ye Qiu said.
Nangong Xiaoxiao glanced at Ye Qiu charmingly, then went into the room to get dressed.
"Come in!" Ye Qiu pulled the girl into the house.
The girl hid behind Ye Qiu, looking at the surrounding environment curiously, her eyes full of vigilance.
"This is my territory, don't be so nervous." Ye Qiu reassured.
Soon, Nangong Xiaoxiao got dressed and came out of the bedroom, her whole person became dignified, and asked: "Pavilion Master, what's going on with this girl?"
Ye Qiu explained: "This is the child I picked up in Lingyin City. Her name is...well, she hasn't told me her name yet."
"What's your name?" Ye Qiu turned around and asked the girl.
The girl quickly lowered her head, held the corners of her clothes with both hands, and remained silent.
Later, Ye Qiu briefly told what happened, including their discovery of the four empty cities and the finding of the girl.
After listening, Nangong Xiaoxiao sighed: "It seems that he is also a poor child."
"Girl, don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on."
"Sister, I'll cover you."
The girl then raised her head and looked at Nangong Xiaoxiao.
"Sister Xiaoxiao is right, you just treat this place as your home, she will protect you, no one here dares to bully you." Ye Qiu said to the girl.
Nangong Xiaoxiao nodded, then looked at the girl and said with a smile: "This child is quite pitiful. I will take her to take a bath first and change into clean clothes!"
"Sorry to trouble you." Ye Qiu said gratefully.
"Why are you being polite to me?" After Nangong Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he came over and took the girl's arm and said, "Come with me!"
The girl was still holding Ye Qiu and looking at him.
"Sister Xiaoxiao is the closest person to me. I listen to her arrangements." Ye Qiu said.
The girl then let go of Ye Qiu's arm and followed Nangong Xiaoxiao to take a shower.
After they left, Ye Qiu walked to the window and looked at the bustling imperial city outside the window, his heart filled with worry.
The strange disappearance of people in the surrounding cities made him feel a little uneasy.
"I don't know where the people who originally lived in the four cities are now? Are they alive or dead?"
A full half hour passed.
Nangong Xiaoxiao pulled the girl out of the bedroom.
The girl took a bath and changed into clean clothes. Her whole person looked completely new, especially her eyes that were like gems, especially smart, as if they could speak.
However, she has a sallow complexion and a rather thin figure. She looks like she has been malnourished for a long time, which makes people feel pity for her.
Nangong Xiaoxiao took the girl's hand and said to Ye Qiu with a smile: "Pavilion Master, look at how cute this child is after being cleaned. He is just a little thin and needs to be replenished."
Ye Qiu nodded, his eyes full of softness, and said: "Sister Xiaoxiao, help her get some delicious food later to nourish her body."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to do it soon." Nangong Xiaoxiao asked the girl softly: "Girl, what's your name? Tell your sister, and she will call you by your name from now on, okay?"
The girl hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, her voice as thin as a gnat: "My...my name is Xiaodie."
"Xiaodie, what a nice name." Nangong Xiaoxiao smiled and touched Xiaodie's head and said, "From now on, you can call me Sister Xiaoxiao and call him Brother Changsheng. We are a family."
Xiaodie looked at Ye Qiu, and then nodded hesitantly.
"By the way, Xiaodie, what happened in Lingyin City?" Ye Qiu asked.
Suddenly, Xiaodie looked frightened and her whole body was trembling, as if she remembered something terrible.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Xiaoxiao quickly hugged Xiaodie and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's safe here, and we will protect you."
"Pavilion Master, it seems that she is frightened, so please don't ask questions for now!"
Ye Qiu had no choice but to give up.
Nangong Xiaoxiao then said: "Pavilion Master, after you left, I immediately gathered people to build this Rongbao Pavilion headquarters. I focused all my energy on it, so I was slow to collect information, and I didn't know about the four cities.
.”
"It doesn't matter." Ye Qiu said: "I have promised Ning An that I will investigate the matter tomorrow. Sister Xiaoxiao, I will leave Xiaodie to you."
Speaking of this, Ye Qiu sent a message and warned: "Sister Xiaoxiao, be sure to keep an eye on Xiaodie. I have an intuition that this girl is not simple. She seems to have some secret hidden in her."
Nangong Xiaoxiao sent a message and asked: "What's going on with that bracelet on Xiaodie's hand?"
"What did you see?" Ye Qiu asked.
Nangong Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: "That is not an ordinary crystal, I have never seen it before."
Um?
Ye Qiu was surprised.
Nangong Xiaoxiao has been in charge of Rongbao Pavilion for many years, and Rongbao Pavilion is the largest auction house in the world of cultivation. When it comes to treasure appraisal, Nangong Xiaoxiao can be said to be an expert among experts. It is incredible that she did not even see the material of the bracelet.
Nangong Xiaoxiao said: "When taking a bath, Xiaodie refused to take it off. It can be seen that that bracelet is very important to her."
"And, based on my experience, that bracelet is made of extraordinary material and is worth a lot of money."
"Although I still don't know the origin of that bracelet, from my perspective, that bracelet can buy at least half of Rongbao Pavilion."
What, so valuable?
Ye Qiu was a little surprised. He took a deep look at Xiaodie and told Nangong Xiaoxiao again: "Sister Xiaoxiao, no matter what, keep an eye on her."
"Yeah." Nangong Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.
Then, Ye Qiu ordered Nangong Xiaoxiao, "When you turn around, you can send the order and let our people look for clues to the Human Emperor Sword."
"Also, send people to look for traces of Dragon Bodhisattva. If this bitch is not dead, I will feel uneasy."
