When this question arose, both of them hesitated for a moment before Ning Yanlan finally said, "Now that everyone has left, let's go back and take a look. If it is indeed the warlord who discovered Xiao Xin's talent, then we will take my sister-in-law and Xiao Xin with us!"
"OK!"
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement. It was impossible to ignore them. Whether it was Li Xiang, Xiao Xin, or Paige and George, they were all people they could not abandon.
Returning to the familiar house, Jiang Yuan felt a special connection to it, even though he had only lived there for a few days.
This is where he and Ning Yanlan confirmed their relationship, and they spent a relatively peaceful and happy time together here. It would be a lie to say there were no feelings involved.
“My sister-in-law and Xiao Xin are both at home!” Ning Yanlan pointed to the room with the lights on inside the house.
During this time period, only the wealthy and powerful can afford to keep their lights on, as all resources become extremely precious after a disaster, and electricity is especially so.
"Walk!"
The room they had stayed in remained unchanged, with even the windows still open, exactly as it was when they left a few days earlier.
"Give them a surprise!"
Jiang Yuan put his arm around Ning Yanlan's waist, and with a leap of his legs, he jumped four meters high. The two of them smoothly passed through the window and entered the room.
"Skilled at cheating!" Ning Yanlan said coquettishly. Back then, Jiang Yuan always managed to get downstairs faster than her by cheating and jumping out of the window.
Jiang Yuan's lips curled up as he grabbed Ning Yanlan's wrist and said softly, "I didn't expect that little girl to have improved so much in just a few days!"
"You mean!" Ning Yanlan pointed to the door and said as if she had just realized something.
Jiang Yuan nodded, "Let's test this little girl's skills!"
The two fell silent in unison, then tiptoed to the door.
"Go ahead and drive!"
"Be careful not to hurt her!"
"rest assured!"
Jiang Yuan reached out and grasped the doorknob, then gently turned it open. However, as soon as the door opened a crack, a sharp soul energy attack shot out.
"Thief, how dare you break into my sister Yanlan and Uncle Jiangyuan's room! I'll beat you up!"
The childish scolding sounded particularly amusing in this atmosphere. Jiang Yuan was prepared, and his last bit of divine power protected his and Ning Yanlan's heads. Then he roughly pulled open the door, and just as he was about to 'teach' the little brat outside the door a lesson, something unexpected happened.
"Little Bu, beat this thief to tears!"
The door wasn't pulled open; it was more like it was smashed open. The moment it was smashed open, a figure the size of an adult lunged at Jiang Yuan.
"Holy crap, it's the substitute doll!" Jiang Yuan was stunned. It was the substitute doll that had barged in, not Xiao Xin.
It was because of Jiang Yuan's momentary lapse in concentration that Zhan Wawa punched him in the stomach with a burst of fifty or sixty points of force. In the past, he might not have been able to move at all, but now his injuries were not light. This unexpected punch caused his blood to churn and he staggered back several steps.
"Small……"
"It's alright, let me see if this little girl has improved!" Jiang Yuan stopped Ning Yanlan. He was just worried about not having practiced the Tai Chi manual, and now this substitute doll was the perfect sparring partner.
"Two Elements!"
Jiang Yuan shook his arms and quickly got into the zone. The Two Forms is the simplest fighting method in the Tai Chi chapter, and it is also a state that only considers the strength of the left and right hands.
"open!"
Without divine power, only pure physical strength, his punch landed squarely on the substitute doll's abdomen, giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Jiang Yuan took two steps back, while the substitute doll took three steps back and was once again kicked out of the door.
"You bad thief! You're so strong, yet you still steal things!" Xiao Xin's voice was mature beyond her years, her displeasure mixed with a strong sense of innocence.
Jiang Yuan wanted to laugh, but considering that this little girl had called him "uncle" before, he was determined to teach her a lesson today.
"Limitless Power!" Jiang Yuan swept his sword left and right, catching the substitute doll off guard and hitting it again.
At this moment, Xiao Xin's lack of combat experience was exposed. In front of Jiang Yuan, the substitute doll was like a wooden stake standing there being hit. After a few punches, the substitute doll was forced to retreat.
"Little girl, how dare you call me uncle!" Jiang Yuan chuckled to himself.
"Little Bu, don't back down, keep going!"
Xiao Xin's head finally peeked out from the stairwell, but in her panic, she didn't think much. If there were bad guys, she had no choice but to fight back. She gritted her teeth and controlled the substitute doll.
The substitute doll shook its head and stepped forward again, swinging its fists haphazardly at Jiang Yuan.
"Jiang Yuan, don't hurt her!" Ning Yanlan whispered a reminder from the side.
"Don't worry, I'm just testing her ability to adapt to combat!" Jiang Yuan reassured Ning Yanlan, then used the Tai Chi retreating stance to grab the substitute doll's arm. He then leaned forward and used his elbow to deliver a throat strike, throwing the substitute doll away again.
This time, the substitute doll wasn't so lucky; it lost its connection with Xiao Xin with just one hit.
The connection between a Soul Energy system and a battle pet depends not only on the Soul Energy itself, but also on the user's willpower. A powerful user can make their battle pet as responsive as an arm or finger, while a weak user might lose the connection with just a fall.
Xiao Xin is clearly the latter.
When the substitute doll was defeated and returned to its original form, Xiao Xin panicked. Without even looking to see who was in the room, she grabbed the substitute doll and yelled, "Mommy, run! A bad guy has come in!"
That's right, Xiao Xin has changed the previous thief into a bad guy because in her eyes, thieves only steal things and don't hit people. But now the 'vicious' person in the room not only hits people but is also very fierce. This is obviously a bad guy who is inherently bad!
"Xiao Xin, why did you run upstairs!" Li Xiang's perception was far less than Xiao Xin's, so she still didn't understand what had happened after the incident was over.
