Chapter 59: The Duan Family
Little Bell said, "I killed three trash!"
"What three trash?" Xiao Yun was a bit confused. Could Little Bell really kill someone?
Little Bell explained that it had originally flown back due to sudden changes in the weather. However, while passing through a neighborhood, it saw three big men pulling an old woman by her hair and pushing her out the door. The old woman was crying and pleading, while several neighbors nearby shook their heads but did not dare to step forward to intervene.
Seeing the old woman in such a pitiful state, Little Bell perched on the top of a tree to see what was happening. It quickly learned the truth from the discussions of the neighbors.
It turned out that these three men were the old woman's sons. After her husband passed away years ago, she had worked hard to raise these three sons. However, after they started their own families, they found their mother a burden due to her frail health and often beat or scolded her, wanting to kick her out.
Since these three sons had a wolfish nature, no one dared to provoke them. Although others felt indignant, no one spoke up for justice.
Now, with the heavens changing and a storm about to break, these three sons were still trying to push their own mother out the door.
Upon learning this truth, Little Bell was filled with rage. These beasts were living off the food of others without any reason to exist; how could they remain unpunished?
In a fit of anger, Little Bell killed all three of them on the spot.
Xiao Yun was also very angry but remained skeptical about Little Bell's ability to kill. He asked, "How did you kill them?"
"Isn't that simple?" Little Bell replied proudly. "I threw three fireballs and wiped them out!"
"Three fireballs?"
"Yes! Those are our Spirit Bird's natural self-defense weapons!"
Xiao Yun couldn't understand how a Spirit Bird could throw fireballs.
"Oh dear, I can't talk to you anymore," Little Bell yawned, "I'm so tired, this beauty needs to sleep!"
...
Early the next morning, the streets and alleys of the Galactic District were buzzing with a strange tale. It was said that last night, in the Weimin Community on Aofeng Road, three unfilial sons were burned to ashes by three fireballs that suddenly descended from the sky for abusing their elderly mother.
Listeners applauded in delight, but the incident was too bizarre. Many people, including some media representatives, rushed to the Weimin Community to investigate. Some neighbors who witnessed the events claimed it was indeed true, proudly thumping their chests. They even pointed out purple scorch marks on the ground.
Xiao Yun was having breakfast with Duan Qingxue at a flower shop when several customers discussed the strange event while selecting flowers. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun felt a jolt in his heart; it seemed that Little Bell was indeed telling the truth. However, others had no idea that it wasn't fireballs from the sky but rather that those three men were killed by a bird.
After the flower buyers left, Duan Qingxue sighed, "Incredible! I can't believe such things happen. As the old saying goes, 'Above one's head are spirits.' It seems there's some truth to it; it's better to be kind-hearted!"
Hehe, Xiao Yun thought it was amusing; little did they know that the instigator was currently residing in the ring on his finger.
"So, do you believe in my powers now?" Little Bell seized the opportunity to show off.
Xiao Yun shook his head internally: "Little Bell, I am truly impressed by your powers!"
"Impressed? Is it that simple? Come on, I'm naturally beautiful and blessed by heaven and earth; I am the universe's super invincible first beauty! At least you should kneel before my Pomegranate Skirt to show some respect!" Little Bell's tone became somewhat domineering as she basked in her pride.
Xiao Yun could only smile wryly in his heart: "Uh, fine. When you show me your beautiful form, I'll grant your wish!"
"Hmph!" Little Bell ignored him after that.
Xiao Yun enjoyed the peace and turned to Duan Qingxue: "Qingxue, I want to buy a villa in Rose Garden Community; the environment there is nice. But I'm not very familiar with real estate prices and would like your help..."
"The prices there are quite high," Duan Qingxue interrupted before Xiao Yun could finish. "From what I know, you won't get a villa for less than three or four million!"
Xiao Yun smiled: "Money isn't an issue. It would be even better if there's a ready-to-move-in house with decorations. I have thirty million here; you can hold onto it for now!"
As he spoke, he casually took out the thirty million dollar check from his storage ring.
Duan Qingxue looked at the check in shock and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"
"Don't worry, it's not stolen!" Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This is the ransom paid by the Feng Family for their daughter’s life. Thirty million for a life is really not too much!"
Duan Qingxue was certainly aware of Xiao Yun's efforts to save Feng Wushuang, but she never expected the Feng Family to come up with such a large sum.
Moreover, she couldn't understand why Xiao Yun would buy a villa in Rose Garden Community. The villas there were all three stories tall, several hundred square meters, and even had small swimming pools on the third floor. Why would he need such a large place for himself?
However, she felt it was inappropriate to ask these questions. Duan Qingxue accepted his check and said, "Alright, I'll take care of this!" Coincidentally, she had a classmate working at the sales office in Rose Garden Community, so handling this matter wouldn't be difficult.
After breakfast, Xiao Yun planned to take Little Bell for a stroll at Mirror Lake Park, but just as he was about to head out, An Yiran arrived.
As soon as An Yiran entered, she stopped right in front of Xiao Yun and smiled sweetly, "Excuse me, you must be Mr. Xiao Yun!"
Xiao Yun had met her once at Fragrant Flower Shop and knew that this woman was quite capable. Despite her beautiful and gentle appearance, there was an aura of coldness and lethal intent surrounding her. At that time, he thought she was just a good friend of Duan Qingxue's and never imagined she would be someone close to Duan Haoran.
"I am Xiao Yun." Being polite due to Duan Qingxue's presence, Xiao Yun nodded at An Yiran.
What puzzled Xiao Yun was that this time Duan Qingxue seemed far less courteous towards An Yiran than before; her expression appeared indifferent. Duan Qingxue simply greeted her blandly: "Sister An, what brings you here today?" It seemed as if she wasn't welcoming her visit.
An Yiran awkwardly smiled at Duan Qingxue and said, "This time I’m here on the old man’s orders to invite Mr. Xiao. Qingxue, he mentioned that it would be best if you could come along too!"
Xiao Yun curiously asked, "Who is your old man?"
The woman replied with a smile, "He is just Qingxue's grandfather!"
Duan Haoran? What does he want me for?
Xiao Yun then realized that Duan Qingxue suddenly looked pale, as if she were ill, leaning weakly against a wall and breathing lightly.
"What happened to Duan Qingxue?"
After thinking for a moment, he seemed to understand something and coldly said to the woman, "I will listen to Qingxue. If she goes, I will go; if she does not go, I will not go!"
"It seems our Sister Qingxue really has great charm," An Yiran glanced at Xiao Yun and smiled charmingly, "Qingxue, it looks like we can only listen to you!"
Duan Qingxue closed her eyes and shook her head, saying, "I will not enter the Duan Family. Xiao Yun," she called out his name, "you should go with Sister An to the Duan Family."
"Qingxue..." Xiao Yun was about to say something when Duan Qingxue interrupted him:
"Xiao Yun, if you truly care about my words, then follow me and go to the Duan Family!"
"Why should I go?" Xiao Yun asked in confusion as he looked at Duan Qingxue.
Duan Qingxue replied, "You should have heard of who Duan Haoran is in the Galactic District. If he wants to invite you, it must be for something important. Trust me on this!"
Xiao Yun indeed did not want to go to the Duan Family; he was afraid of encountering Duan Qingyu and causing unnecessary trouble.
To put it simply, he did not want to bring any complications to Duan Qingxue because of what happened with Duan Qingyu.
However, after listening to her words, he ultimately nodded.
