Just as Ning Fengzhi and the two others finished their conversation, Heaven Dou City, Commercial Street!
The originally bustling street had few pedestrians due to the scorching sun in the afternoon.
Xiao Lan, holding several bouquets of roses, darted between shops like a lively little elf.
In contrast, Ning Rongrong, who had been shopping with her for most of the day, was already struggling.
"Xiao Lan! Don't walk so fast, Sister Rongrong can't keep up with you."
Ning Rongrong somewhat regretted bringing her out to play. How could she eat so much and still walk so fast? She wouldn't burst, but surely she'd get tired!
They had already visited three of the four streets—East, South, West, and North. This was more tiring than her usual training; she was practically exhausted.
"But Sister Rongrong, there are still so many delicious things Xiao Lan hasn't tried yet!" Xiao Lan, walking ahead, turned around and bounced back to her, full of energy.
"You still want to eat?! How much can your stomach hold?! I... I can't walk anymore, huff..."
Ning Rongrong was bent over, hands on her knees, sweat dripping from her forehead. Brown strands of hair stuck to her face, and she was panting.
"Then Sister Rongrong, please give Xiao Lan some gold coins." She held out her small hand, palm open. "Xiao Lan will go shopping by herself for a bit and bring some delicious things back for Sister Rongrong later!"
"Alright, but don't go too far," Ning Rongrong gave her a handful of gold coins.
"Mwah! Thank you, Sister Rongrong! Haha, Sister Rongrong's face is red!"
"I... I'm just tired!"
"Sister Rongrong, please hold these flowers for me. Xiao Lan wants to give them to Brother when we get back."
Watching Xiao Lan's retreating figure, Ning Rongrong sat on the steps in front of a nearby shop, touched her lips, and thought of Ye Qiu, that scoundrel who stole her first kiss. Xiao Lan was much better than him!
On the main street, Xiao Lan had just left.
Not far from Ning Rongrong, a dishevelled, dirty man with messy hair and grimy clothes stumbled down the street.
He kept muttering something, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Ning Rongrong frowned. She smelled a foul odor from a distance and disgustedly covered her nose.
She only lowered her hand when he had walked a bit further away.
And the direction he was heading was precisely the direction Xiao Lan had just left.
...
"La la la~" Xiao Lan held several glistening candied hawthorn skewers in her small hands. This was her favorite food, sweet and sour.
Humming a pleasant tune, she bounced closer to Ning Rongrong.
"Ah Yin!"
Suddenly, a surprised, hoarse voice rang out.
The messy man who had been passing by suddenly rushed directly in front of Xiao Lan.
"Sis—!" A figure appeared before her. Xiao Lan initially thought it was Ning Rongrong, but upon seeing clearly, she let out a startled cry, her face filled with terror.
"Ah Yin... my Ah Yin!" The messy man stared intently at her, his voice trembling, his heart overflowing with excitement.
He recognized her; she was his Ah Yin!
This person was Tang Hao. Ever since Ah Yin disappeared from the cave, he had been searching for clues everywhere.
He tried to find the culprit, or to find Ah Yin!
He had even paid very little attention to Little San.
Heaven helps those who help themselves; he had finally found her!
What he found hard to believe was that Ah Yin was no longer a plant but a person, a living person, without a trace of Spirit Beast aura!
His cloudy eyes scanned her up and down, his body trembling with excitement.
Blue hair, blue eyes, a face identical to Ah Yin's.
That natural, elegant aura about her made him feel familiar and close!
Despite how unbelievable it was, Tang Hao firmly believed that this girl in front of him was his Ah Yin, his wife, the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin!
In his state of mental exhilaration, he even began to wonder if Ah Yin had grown legs and run away herself.
"Ah Yin! My Ah Yin, I've finally found you!" Saying this, he stretched out his hands, wanting to grab Xiao Lan's shoulders.
"Ah! Get away from me, you stink! I don't know you!" Xiao Lan shrieked and took several steps back.
"You don't know me?!" Tang Hao was instantly bewildered.
"How can you not know me! Look closely, look at me!" He pushed his messy hair back and kept leaning towards Xiao Lan's face.
"Get lost! I don't know you!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Ah Yin! I'm Tang Hao, look closely..." Tang Hao kept tugging at his hair, vigorously rubbing his dirt-covered face.
'He's Tang Hao!?' Xiao Lan's heart fluttered. A Titled Douluo!
She finally recognized this guy. So this was the dog-like person who had planted her in that dark cave and abused plants.
The Tang Hao whom Brother said was courting death!
"Move aside quickly, you've mistaken me for someone else!" She fiercely threw the candied hawthorn skewers in one hand at his face.
Tang Hao's heart trembled. He stumbled back a few steps, crying out mournfully.
"Ah Yin, do you really not remember me?"
"Don't you remember our meeting! Don't you remember our marriage! Don't you remember our child!"
Xiao Lan shook her head firmly. Those were Ah Yin's experiences; she had no interest in experiences unrelated to her brother.
Ah Yin was dead; she was a brand new individual, a sister who could never leave her brother, a small plant that belonged only to her brother...
"Hmph! Get out of my way!" Saying this, Xiao Lan was about to leave. She needed to quickly tell Brother that Tang Hao had come to Heaven Dou City!
"No! You can't leave..."
"Ah! Let go of me!"
Tang Hao instantly broke free from the Blue Silver Grass's restraint and grabbed Xiao Lan's shoulder with one hand.
Suddenly, as if seeing something, Xiao Lan pointed directly behind Tang Hao and shouted.
"Ah! Don't come over! Don't come over! Absolutely don't come over!"
It turned out that Ning Rongrong had waited a long time and hadn't seen Xiao Lan return, so she had come looking for her.
"Xiao... Xiao Lan?" In the distance, Ning Rongrong's movements froze, looking at her in confusion.
She paused her steps but still walked towards her.
"Ah! Don't come over!" Xiao Lan shrieked, knowing she couldn't delay any longer.
If this disgusting thing found out that she had a relationship with Sister Rongrong, Brother would definitely be exposed!
Tang Hao misunderstood, thinking Xiao Lan was pointing at him, and looked at her with deep affection.
"Ah Yin! Come with me, let's find Little San... I will restore your memories!"
..."Ah woo~"
She picked up the candied hawthorn skewers in her hand and ate them all in one bite.
"Get away quickly!" She finally shouted at Ning Rongrong.
"I would rather die than let you succeed!"
Then, gritting her teeth, she took the bamboo skewer in her hand and aimed it at her neck.
Pfft! She stabbed it through, Xiao Lan's head tilted, and she looked at Tang Hao with hatred.
Bang! She exploded into a ball of green light.
Clatter!
In Ning Rongrong's hands, the roses Xiao Lan had asked her to hold scattered on the ground.
Her green eyes trembled, looking at the scene before her in disbelief.
"Xiao... Xiao Lan is gone!?"
Then her whole body suddenly trembled, as if she had thought of something terrifying. Xiao Lan... died!
Tang Hao also froze in place, looking at his hands, feeling the lingering warmth in them. His eyes widened suddenly, turning crimson and bloodshot!
