Chapter 255: Jiangdong's No. Monkey Liquor
More than ten years ago, a pair of twin girls were born to the famous Qiao family in Jiangdong. The younger girl, whose name was ruthlessly erased from the family tree, was the breeze of love, Xiao Qiao, who was later promoted to a hero in the Jixia Academy.

Xiao Qiao was not a popular girl in the family, even though she was straightforward and lively by nature, and a beautiful girl who looked very lovable. However, in a family that focused on magic and adhered to tradition, her innate advantages still could not make her receive good treatment. The elders always ignored and alienated her, and even the boys and girls of the same age, under the guidance of her family, often made things difficult for her.

And there are reasons why she is unpopular.

On the one hand, Xiao Qiao's birth was an unpleasant surprise, because twins were an unlucky number for the family. On the other hand, and most importantly, her birth seemed to fulfill the prophecy in the family tree that the Qiao family would eventually fall!

Regardless of how credible this prophecy is and what basis it has, isn't this how things are all the time? In the face of the secular tide, people who are too self-centered and stubborn can make the false become true.

So in fact, Xiao Qiao, who was shunned by others, was sent away from the family when she was still a baby, and her childhood was spent in Jixia Academy. Although she was taken back to the family many years later due to her noble heroic status, she still could not be recognized by the tribe members.

People are always on guard and panicking.
Today, although the family is large, Xiao Qiao has no relatives. The only exception is her elder sister, Da Qiao, a strong-willed woman who dotes on her and is almost perfect.

"So, sister came to the bottom lane alone?" Xiao Qiao asked Da Qiao who was sitting next to her, while holding a rice ball in her two little hands and eating it with relish, tilting her little head.

Da Qiao turned around and looked at her beloved sister beside her. Her usually cold face revealed a hint of helpless and elegant smile: "Xiao Qiao, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand? Don't talk while eating. It's very rude."

"Ah, yes, yes, I get it!"

Even so, Xiao Qiao still went her own way, biting her rice ball with a "ah-ah-ah~" sound, while muttering, "Sister, you are good in everything, except that you are just like those old antiques in the family, too obsessed with red tape. When I was in the academy before, why didn't I see so many requirements from the teacher and Mr. Zhuang? Look, sister, our academy is the undisputed holy place for students in the mainland, and there is no need to be so formal there, why do you have to be so formal at home?"

"You, my sister, can't win an argument with a little adult like you, okay?" Da Qiao looked at her willful sister lovingly, with a look of helplessness on her face, but she no longer had the intention to correct her.

Come to think of it, isn't it that she envied her sister's straightforward nature of doing whatever she wants, but couldn't do it?
It was just like when they first met. Although they had been ruthlessly separated from each other by their tribesmen since childhood, when Da Qiao saw this innocent and lively sister who was completely different from the lifeless tribesmen, she liked her from the bottom of her heart and unhesitatingly protected this willful sister.

Because for her, who has received all kinds of harsh education since childhood, she actually envies her sister's lifestyle. She doesn't have to abide by complicated etiquette, nor does she have to deliberately hide her true inner self. She can live freely for herself.

So for Da Qiao, her younger sister Xiao Qiao is actually the new life she longs for. For this reason, she is willing to sacrifice everything to protect her younger sister's innocence and straightforwardness.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? You haven't even answered my question yet! Is it really okay for you to leave brother Sun Ce alone on the road?"

Da Qiao came back to her senses, turned to look at Xiao Qiao, and gently wiped the rice grains from the corners of her mouth: "There is no other way, sister really can't cooperate with him, and he is too weak. Even with my assistance, we can't maximize the efficiency of the duo."

After a pause, Da Qiao added, "Compared to him, I am more worried about your safety, but what about you? Why do you always talk about that man all day long? If you continue like this, I will be angry."

"Don't be angry, I know my sister treats me the best~" Xiao Qiao acted coquettishly in a sweet voice and rubbed against Da Qiao's soft arms.

However, she forgot what Da Qiao had just said and mentioned the man again: "However, strength shouldn't be a problem, right? As long as he gathers enough energy crystals, Brother Sun Ce can become very powerful. On the contrary, I always feel that I have been distancing myself from him intentionally or unintentionally. What do you dislike about him? Brother Sun Ce is obviously handsome and sunny, and he gets along well with me."

Looking at this really disobedient sister in front of her, Da Qiao could only smile helplessly and said, "Does my sister have to like a handsome guy?"

"It's better than those ugly ones, right? Besides, Brother Sun Ce has inherited the name of the Sea of ​​Light. I can see that he really loves my sister. For my sister, he even changed his name."

Da Qiao's expression darkened, and she whispered, "That's different. Even though he has the same name and has inherited the fire of the Sea of ​​Light, he is not the original Sea of ​​Light after all. The feeling in his heart is different. Sister, now, just wants to protect this sky, sea, and the memories of that deceased person by herself."

"Sister, do you really not have any feelings for Brother Sun Ce?" Xiao Qiao couldn't help but ask.

Da Qiao pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I can't say that I don't have any feelings for you at all, after all, they look so alike. It's just that I tried hard, but I just can't find that feeling."

"What does it feel like?"

"Be calm."

Da Qiao turned around and touched her sister's head meaningfully: "In a person's life, you will meet many people who make your heart beat faster. You may mistakenly think that is love. In fact, it is just a liking at a certain moment. After all, being moved is not the answer, but determination is. Little sister, did you have this feeling when you were with the Grand Commander?"

"What is peace of mind? I don't know. I just know that when I'm with Zhou Lang, I feel happy no matter what I do!" Xiao Qiao said with a smile while chewing a rice ball with puffed cheeks, and then - she turned her head intentionally or unintentionally to glance at the lush grass outside the defense tower.

next second.

With a swish, Xiao Qiao suddenly opened the huge peach-colored folding fan in front of Da Qiao, which was bigger than her petite body.

Ding!
Almost at the same time, a crisp sound of metal clashing rang out without warning.

Da Qiao's face changed slightly. Everything happened so fast that she didn't even react to what was happening.

"Tsk, a mere trifle." When Xiao Qiao casually put away her folding fan again, a sharp arrow flashing with a cold light fell weakly in front of the Jiangdong sisters.

"What's going on?!" Da Qiao, who just realized the danger, immediately entered combat status and stood up from the ground with a vigilant look on her face, but she had no idea where the arrow came from.

"Hey, it's okay, sis. I'm here!" After saying this with a grin, Xiao Qiao flipped her little hand and waved the opened folding fan in her hand violently towards the ground. The terrifying invisible magic energy field, along with her movement, suddenly exploded like ignited gunpowder!
Skill 2: Sweet Love

Wow! !
Amid the earth-shaking thunder, almost without warning, a cluster of lush grass in the distance suddenly stirred up a pink hurricane comparable to level 18. This hurricane did not form slowly, but suddenly rose from the ground! The knife-sharp whirlwind ruthlessly chopped the grass, stirred up the water in the surrounding river, and blew up the attacker who had been dormant in the grass for a long time.

Then, almost without any pause, Xiao Qiao turned around and threw the folding fan in her hand towards the 'sneak attacker' who was blown into the air!

Skill 1: Blooming Dance

Bang! !

With a sharp and violent clanging sound, the giant peach-colored fan, which was rotating at a speed of at least 2000 times per second, hit the attacker in mid-air with incredible accuracy, but it was like two pieces of iron and stone colliding with each other at high speed, and a large amount of orange-red sparks burst out!
Of course, no matter how tough the attacker was, he could not withstand the fatal damage after being hit so hard. With a muffled groan, the attacker in mid-air flew in circles like a bird that had been hit, and fell to the ground with a loud bang. In an instant, smoke, dust and stone chips flew everywhere.

With a snap, she raised her flawless white little arm and caught the folding fan that flew back like a boomerang. Xiao Qiao made a beautiful turn on the spot to remove the inertia of the fan. Then she took the unfinished rice ball and bit it, while looking at the miserable black shadow curiously.

"Hey, who are you? How dare you try to attack my sister right in front of me?"

All this happened in just five seconds, from suddenly opening the fan to block the arrow, to the smooth double-fire skill, the series of countermeasures were fast, accurate and ruthless, so beautiful in the extreme, showing that this seemingly innocent girl actually possessed an unparalleled talent for the use of magic and super high combat capabilities!
the other side.

"Fuck."

Wang Yao, who was covered in dust, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and climbed up from the cracked ground. At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the petite peach-pink figure in the distance in surprise.

He had never expected that the sniper attack, which should have been foolproof, would end up like this.

How did Xiao Qiao find out that he was hiding in the bushes?

You know, in order to completely eliminate his aura, he didn't even open his hero form. Could it be that just based on the murderous aura he generated for a moment before shooting the arrow, he was able to accurately lock onto his hiding place? !
Wang Yao's rich combat experience and keen intuition told him that the girl in front of him with two shallow dimples when she smiled was not as cute and harmless as she looked!

"Should I say, it's really the best monkey liquor in Koto?"

Wang Yao smiled very reluctantly.
