LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 92: Let's help her!
Xiao Yixian, who was eating a roasted rabbit, suddenly heard a roar. She looked into the distance without thinking much, then lowered her head to continue eating the rabbit.
She murmured to herself, "I didn't expect that rabbits are not only so cute but also taste so delicious."
The rabbit: "..."
After Yun Xui tested the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, he nodded with satisfaction and immediately put it into his storage ring.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he turned around and went back.
---
"Well..."
When Yun Xui returned, Xiao Yixian had just finished eating the cute, fragrant rabbit and burped loudly.
This rabbit was very much to Xiao Yixian's liking.
"Sir," Xiao Yixian quickly stood up upon seeing Yun Xui come back.
"Mm."
"You finally figured it out," Yun Xui smiled slightly at her words.
He thought it would take more time for this young girl to gather her thoughts, but he didn't expect her to do so after eating a rabbit.
"Is it okay if we leave tomorrow?"
"There's nothing else left," Xiao Yixian shook her head like a rattle.
"That's good."
Yun Xui nodded slightly. Without any movement, a storage ring floated in front of Xiao Yixian.
There was a red rope attached to the ring, meant to be worn around the neck. Considering Xiao Yixian was still young, it was unrealistic for her to wear the ring on her finger, so Yun Xui had prepared the red rope.
Yun Xui was truly considerate; there was nothing he couldn't think of for her.
"Put on this ring. It will belong to you from now on. There are some clothes inside for you to change and wash," Yun Xui said.
"Thank you, sir," Xiao Yixian said as she took the ring and put it around her neck, smiling happily. It was evident her smile came from the bottom of her heart.
"Mm."
Yun Xui nodded slightly and left, leaving Xiao Yixian standing there in a daze.

The Next Day
In front of her mother's grave, Xiao Yixian kowtowed three times, her voice trembling as she said, "Mother, Xiao Yixian is leaving. I will come to see you when I have time."
As her words fell, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and rolled down her cheeks. She kowtowed twice more before standing up, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looking determined.
She turned to Yun Xui and said, "Sir, we can go now."
"Mm." Yun Xui nodded slightly and walked ahead, with Xiao Yixian hurrying to follow him.
"Do you want to practice?" Yun Xui asked calmly as Xiao Yixian caught up.
"I do," Xiao Yixian replied without hesitation.
Having wandered with her mother since childhood, she was well aware of the dangers of the continent and the corruption of human nature.
Strength.
Power.
Only by becoming strong could she gain a foothold on this continent and live for herself.
"Good," Yun Xui said. "From now on, you will practice with me. When you reach the level of Dou Zhe, I will give you something."
"Thank you, sir," Xiao Yixian said gratefully.
"Sir, where are we going?" Xiao Yixian asked curiously.
"The Great Tagor Desert."
"What are we going there for?"
"To find someone."
As the sun rose, a white horse flew through the clouds toward the rising sun.

A Few Days Later.
The Tagor Desert, the largest desert in the Jia Ma Empire, and was located in the eastern province.
The largest force in the Tagor Desert was the snake people. Of course, there were also human towns scattered throughout the desert.
Stone Desert City was one such town. Compared to the cities deeper within the empire, this desert city appeared more simple and solemn. Perhaps because it was near the Tagor Desert, its defenses were much stricter than those in the inner empire. Fully armed soldiers could be seen patrolling everywhere in the city.
Yun Xui brought Xiao Yixian to Stone Desert City. Passersby looked at them curiously, whispering among themselves.
In addition to the fact that they were outsiders, the greater reason for their attention was Yun Xui's mask.
Although many were curious, no one dared to approach and cause trouble. It was obvious that Yun Xui and Xiao Yixian were not ordinary people. Yun Xui, in particular, radiated an aura that conveyed transcendence, even though his mask concealed his face.
Anyone with a bit of insight could tell they were not to be trifled with.
At this moment, Xiao Yixian's face was rosy like a red apple, her fair skin tinged with red, making her appear delicate and lovely.
Because Stone Desert City was built in the Tagor Desert, the temperature was naturally much hotter than in other towns within the Jia Ma Empire. This explained Xiao Yixian's flushed appearance.
Fanning her face, Xiao Yixian asked, "Sir, where is the person we are looking for?"
Yun Xui extended his powerful soul sense, covering the entire city. Nothing in Stone Desert City could escape his perception.
After a brief moment, Yun Xui found the person he sought.
"This way," Yun Xui said, walking forward. Xiao Yixian followed closely behind. Eventually, they stopped in a dark alley.
---
In an empty, shadowy corner of the alley, a petite figure was curled up, hugging her legs and trembling.
Her clothes were in tatters, her hair a mess, and her exposed arms covered in green scales.
Noticing Yun Xui and Xiao Yixian's gaze, the girl instinctively shrank back. However, the wall behind her left her with no room to retreat. She tried to use her clothes to cover her arms, but they were too torn to conceal the scales.
Xiao Yixian looked at the girl in the corner, her eyes growing moist. She saw a reflection of herself in the girl's helpless and vulnerable expression.
She had once been like this—alone and powerless, with despair in her eyes.
"Sir, she is so pitiful. Let's help her!" Xiao Yixian pleaded with Yun Xui, tears welling up in her eyes.
The girl in the corner looked at Yun Xui as well, her eyes filled with helplessness and fear.
