Chapter 21: Asura's Gate Disciple
Pulled out of the courtyard by Li Lu, Huang Xiaolong's brows furrowed, and said: "Little girl, don't drag and pull me like this, others might misunderstand."
Li Lu was surprised for a moment and then flashed a sweet smile, revealing two cute dimples, "So what if others misunderstand? I'm your wife. What is wrong with a wife holding her husband's hand? I'm not afraid of any misunderstanding and also don't call me a little girl. I'm a very big girl!"
The little girl ended her speech by puffing up her small chest.
Black lines ran down Huang Xiaolong's forehead.
Wife?
Very big?
Huang Xiaolong swept a glance across Li Lu's slightly protruded but yet to develop small chest, and smiled wryly to himself. That area's still a flat land, right?
Noticing Huang Xiaolong staring at her small chest, her face blushed bright red, in barely a whisper she said, "You, why are you looking at people like that; I'm shy when there're so many other people here."
He was so speechless that he decisively clamped his mouth shut, not speaking a word more.
Pulling away his hand, he went out of the Li Residence, walking to the main street. This really was his first time in Canglan County's County City, so he wanted to look around.
"Xiaolong, wait for me!" Li Lu pouted her mouth at Huang Xiaolong for pulling away his hand; she quickly ran after him with quick steps, however, this time instead of holding Huang Xiaolong's hand, Li Lu wrapped her hand around his arms, just like a submissive little wife. A girl's soft fragrance wafted into his nose.
Huang Xiaolong was trying to avoid body contact with her, "You can go back, I can walk by myself."
Li Lu pouted again, her eyes turned red-rimmed as tears welled within, "I'll go back and tell Grandfather that you bullied me!"
Huang Xiaolong quickly used his hand to stop her from leaving, feeling an onslaught of a headache: "Fine then, let's go together but you must promise me that you won't pull or drag me."
Li Lu burst out laughing, the look in her eyes changed instantly, nodded: "Okay."
Huang Xiaolong sighed in relief when Li Lu nodded in agreement. They turned and began walking along the street with Li Lu following beside Huang Xiaolong on the right, being extremely obedient. As they walked, her big round eyes occasionally stole furtive glances at him.
Huang Xiaolong didn't care and continued to look around; not paying her any attention.
Neither of them spoke much along the way, and after going around once, just as they were about to return to the Li Residence, they noticed at a corner of the street was crowded with a lot of people pointing fingers and whispering about something.
Huang Xiaolong's curiosity was stoked, so he and Li Lu walked in that particular direction, squeezing through the crowd have to a look. A middle-aged man was lying on the ground, encircled by onlookers ㅡhis hair was messy and unkempt, a dirty-stained face and worn-out rags for clothes. Evidently, the middle-aged man was unconscious. On the ground, next to the middle-aged man were several small drops of blood, apparently spat out by the injured man.
After observing the middle-aged man for a moment, Huang Xiaolong hesitated briefly before walking up to him and lifted him up; since he had become a Fourth Order warrior, his arm strength was not so weak that carrying an adult would pose a problem.
Li Lu was astonished when Huang Xiaolong lifted the middle-aged man up.
"Let's go." Huang Xiaolong said to Li Lu as he walked past her carrying the middle-aged man; he noticed Li Lu was still standing on the same spot in a daze. Li Lu quickly ran after Huang Xiaolong after recovering her senses, and couldn't stop herself from asking, "Xiaolong, why are you carrying this man back with you?"
