"I don't know. My mother and I don't live with the Carter family. We live alone. My mother rarely goes home. Most of the time, there’re Xiaoli and I who are at home." Long Lan doesn’t like the Carter family, so how could he bring Bai Xiaoli over?

Cang Yan is relieved. He just wants to play the game securely, and doesn’t want to raise new issues.

"You don't need to go back to get the rune storage; even if you take the whole back, it's not easy to process." Cang Yan refuses politely.

Such a big explosive-fire-rhino requires a great storage space. A large rune storage space can't be seen in the ordinary cities, let alone a small one like Tianjing City. So there’s no need to let Long Lan make a trip specially.

Cang Yan feels that it’s better to discuss with Bai Xiaoli. They can’t just bring the whole explosive-fire-rhino back. It’s too conspicuous.

"Xiaoli ... where’s Xiaoli?" When Cang Yan raises his eyes, he finds that Bai Xiaoli has gone.

"Puff!"

The sound of tearing the flesh and blood comes. All of them turn their heads at the same time and find Bai Xiaoli reaching out one of his arms into the body of the explosive-fire-rhino ferociously, as if digging something.

All are shocked. At the thought of Bai Xiaoli pulling out a bloody arm after, and their stomachs that have just calmed soon begin to stir again. Long Lan is already too scared by this bloody scene to open his eyes.

Cang Yan steps forward. He has seen too much bloody scenes and is accustomed to all this, "What are you doing?"

Bai Xiaoli pulls out his arm, and there’s no blood stain on his arm as imagined by others, and his arm is wrapped with an orange halo, without any blood.

Cang Yan is stunned. He doesn’t know what this operation of Bai Xiaoli is. How can he separate the star power from his body and wrap it on his arm? Cang Yan has never seen it before. Bai Xiaoli has already mastered the star power to this degree?

Under normal circumstances, when someone defenses, he covers directly the star ring on his body, like a golden bell cocoon. Using the star power precisely on the part where he needs? What kind of control power is that?

"Here you are." Bai Xiaoli hands what he has pulled out to Cang Yan.

Cang Yan looks over. It’s exactly the beast core of the explosive-fire-rhino. This beast core is in the size of a Ping-Pong ball. It glows yellow light throughout the body and proves that this explosive-fire-rhino is on Level-IV when it used to be an alien beast. However, this beast core is not an ordinary one. Within the yellow, there are strands of black moving about. Cang Yan knows that it’s the rune power. Just holding it in the hand, he can feel the surging power in the beast core.

"For me?" Cang Yan is a little surprised. Xiaoli doesn’t know the value of the rune beast core, right?

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Well, I don't need it." Bai Xiaoli doesn't care about the value at all. He only knows whether it’s usable or not.

Looking at that beast core, Cang Yan feels a thrill of joy. Not because of the beast core of Level-IV, but that Bai Xiaoli gets something good and thinks of him for the first time, which makes him feel very warm.

"Thank you." Nevertheless, Cang Yan doesn’t take the beast core, "I can’t take this beast core. You should give it to Long Lan. He has taken care of you and given you food and clothes for so long, which is not easy for him. You should thank him well."

Bai Xiaoli wrinkles his little nose and he’s a little unwilling, "I didn’t wear his clothes. The clothes are my own magic robe."

Cang Yan: "..."

Is this the point of the question?

Bai Xiaoli is a little unhappy and mutters, "He supports me, and I teach him ancient martial, help him practice, and let him enter Tianjing College. It’s an exchange at equal values."

Cang Yan smiles, his eyes full of tenderness, "Okay, I know, Xiao Li is a man of principle who knows the exchange at equal values. So from now on, let me support you, OK?"

This is the heartfelt wishes of Cang Yan. After saying this, he’s not confident and doesn’t know if Bai Xiaoli would like to be supported by him.

Of course, he should raise his own little soul beast.

Bai Xiaoli doesn’t even think about it and is going to agree. But the words stop before they burst out of his lips. He’s distressed and says: "I want to eat lots and lots of meat."

Seeing through the thoughts of Bai Xiaoli, Cang Yan can’t help but laugh out, "Okay, you can eat as much as you want, but you should eat it privately. You can’t eat too much in front of the outsiders. They will be scared."

"It’s good." Bai Xiaoli nods without hesitation, "I will let you support me then."

In Bai Xiaoli's view, there is a contractual relationship between them. Cang Yan should have raised him, just as he promised the friars to be the treasure beast of the clan. The clan supported him, and he protected the clan. If Cang Yan supports him then, and he will also protect Cang Yan.

The exchange of equal values.

Holding the beast core, Bai Xiaoli strides towards Long Lan. No longer smelling the strong blood smell, Long Lan’s face gets much better.

"This is for you." Bai Xiaoli hands the beast core to Long Lan.

Long Lan is smashed by happiness at his face for a moment. He can’t believe it. Staring at yellow and glittering beast core in the hands of Bai Xiaoli, Long Lan is moved to cry. When Xiaoli becomes so warm? Sure that he’s not dreaming?

"Really ... really for me?" I must be dreaming.

"Yes, it’s for you. You don’t need to support me anymore, Cang Yan will support me." Bai Xiaoli is honest and talks straight.

"Puff--"

Hearing these words, Joyce, Kain, and Rovel all are stupefied.

Wait, is there something wrong? Do they seem to hear some strange words mixed in?

What the hell is this situation?

Was Bai Xiaoli previously kept by Long Lan? Now Bai Xiaoli finds the next master, so he changes the former master directly? And later it will be Cang Yan who kee-keeps Bai Xiaoli?!

The three look strangely back and forth across Long Lan, Bai Xiaoli, and Cang Yan.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the story is so complicated and the inside information is so tortuous.

Seeing their meaningful eyes, Long Lan immediately explodes, "Don't say so to mislead us! We are pure and innocent. I ask you to teach me ancient martial arts and cultivation. You don’t ask salary and don’t know how to spend money. I just use the money which should have belonged to you to buy meat for you and pay your tuition!"

The other three:"…"

So, this is the inside story?

Are they too dirty or their IQ is not enough? They totally can't understand Bai Xiaoli's words!

Bai Xiaoli replies calmly, "It’s the same meaning."

"What’s the same? Not the same at all!" Long Lan almost has a breakdown. Next chapter -> Bai Xiaoli is a Man-Man
