Chapter 306 This is My Woman
These people generally carry 2 or 3 Small Blood Pills on them, which is already quite good. Yang Xiao suddenly gave Yang Kai a bottle with dozens of Small Blood Pills, making everyone feel very envious—that's worth hundreds of Crystal Coins.
This is the difference created by the disparity between wealth. To Yang Xiao, spending a million Crystal Coins on a Giant Eagle is nothing, but for these poor people, spending ten Crystal Coins on a Small Blood Pill is a painful decision.
"Alright, I'm leaving."
Yang Xiao turned around and walked out, with Yang Ying and her brother Yang Kai quickly following behind, reluctant to part.
After Brother Hao took the Small Blood Pill, the pain was much less, but due to the fracture, he still needed some time to recuperate. He immediately said to his subordinates:
"Go send off Brother Yang! What are you standing around for?"
He heard Yang Ying calling Yang Xiao by name and also started to call him Brother Yang.
A dozen people followed behind the siblings out of the underground parking garage.
Coming out, they saw the fiery Flame Horse and the fierce Giant Eagle. Although everyone was unaware of Yang Xiao's background, they were extremely amazed internally and knew they shouldn't mistreat the siblings anymore. They might need their help in the future.
"I'm leaving, take care."
Yang Xiao said.
Yang Ying suddenly grabbed Yang Xiao's hand, and tears instantly started flowing as she choked up:
"Brother Yang Xiao..."
Yang Xiao felt her small hand gripping his, sensing her inner panic and helplessness.
In this apocalyptic world, everyone was an orphan without parents. For the siblings, it was even harsher. Both were underage and felt a stronger fear of the apocalypse than others, especially since they usually had to grovel for survival facing people like Brother Hao.
Today, having met Yang Xiao seemed like a drowning person suddenly spotting a ship on the river, igniting a hope for survival and advancement.
But this hope was faint, like a flame in a cold wind, that might be extinguished in a moment.
Yang Xiao was not their relative; he had no obligation to them at all, and they couldn't ask anything of him.
Loneliness, fear, helplessness, and hope—those were the complex emotions felt by Yang Ying and her brother right now.
Yang Xiao sighed, embracing Yang Ying, and she cried even harder.
Beside them, Yang Kai, with tears in his eyes, said to his sister:
"Ying, don't cry, brother has to go."
Understanding, Yang Ying knew she shouldn't trouble Yang Xiao or make him dislike her. She quickly stopped crying, saying:
"Brother Yang Xiao, I'm sorry."
The more sensible Yang Ying was, the more conflicted Yang Xiao felt inside.
He patted her head, and said:
"Get on the horse."
Yang Ying was startled.
Yang Xiao then said to Yang Kai:
"You get on the horse too."
A surge of surprise filled the siblings—they realized that at least, Yang Xiao hadn't abandoned them, giving them a glimpse of hope.
The two siblings swiftly mounted the horse.
The Flame Horse was three meters high and nearly five meters long, easily carrying both siblings.
Yang Xiao also leaped onto the horse, taking the siblings and quickly riding off.
The Giant Eagle spread out its hundred-meter wingspan and soared into the air, stunning the ten people who had come to see them off, leaving them speechless with awe.
Yang Xiao brought the siblings to Financial Square and first took the Giant Eagle and Flame Horse to a nearby enclosure reserved for Monsters.
"Do you two have Beast Souls?"
Yang Xiao asked.
"Yes, I am a White Crane, capable of flying."
"I am a Werewolf."
Yang Xiao nodded and led them to the front of the Genetic Store.
"Wait here for me, stay here."
"Okay."
Yang Ying nodded obediently.
A moment later, Yang Xiao came out of the store, handing Yang Ying rings, earrings, and bracelets, all with +4 Agility, and gave Yang Kai a set, all with +4 Strength.
He also gave the siblings each a +5 Strength Longsword and a pair of +20% movement speed Wind-controlling Boots.
The siblings were overjoyed as they received the items.
This set of equipment was considered junk to Yang Xiao, but to the siblings, it was a treasure. Along with their own basic attributes, their overall attributes immediately surpassed Haoge, and they wouldn't have to endure bullying in the underground parking garage anymore.
In this world now, only strength could bring safety, and Yang Xiao couldn't protect them all the time.
"Thank you, Brother Yang Xiao!"
"Thank you, Brother!"
The siblings were so excited that they nearly cried.
Yang Xiao patted Yang Kai on the shoulder and caressed Yang Ying's head, saying:
"Remember, never cease to strengthen yourself. Only when you are strong can you avoid being bullied by others."
"Yes, we remember, thank you, Brother."
The siblings immediately put on the rings, necklaces, and bracelets, and after the increase in their attribute value, their ability to stay warm also increased, making them feel not so cold anymore.
"Your levels are low now; you still need the protection of Hard Armor against the cold, so I can't get you better Armor."
"Thank you, Big Brother, we are content."
"Good, you guys go back now. I'm temporarily staying in this building, about thirty days here. If you need anything, you can come here to find me."
Yang Kai and his sister expressed surprise:
"Big Brother lives in this Financial Building?"
"How? Are you familiar with this place?"
Yang Ying said:
"My dad used to work here, he was a manager at an investment company."
Yang Kai said with great envy:
"I heard that the people who live in this building are all mysterious characters."
Yang Xiao was taken aback,
"Mysterious characters? Have you seen them?"
Yang Kai glanced around, pulled Yang Xiao away from the Genetic Store to the outside of the square, and whispered:
"I heard people say that once at midnight, a Spaceship landed here, and about a dozen people with black cloaks emerged, their faces unclear, somewhat like the black-robed warriors from Star Wars."
"Who saw it?"
"I don't know, it's all hearsay, not sure if it's true or false. But, since the apocalypse, this building has always been guarded by the Iron Tower Warriors. Outsiders can't approach the building. I heard someone tried to break into the building once and got killed by the Iron Tower Warriors."
Yang Xiao nodded, patted Yang Kai on the shoulder, and said:
"Don't spread these words carelessly in the future. Be careful, and go back now. It's getting late."
Yang Ying held Yang Xiao's hand, looking reluctant.
Yang Xiao gently pinched her cheek, saying:
"From now on, I am your brother. I will come to visit you when I have time, and you can come here to find me. Just ask the pretty sisters at the door to pass the message, just say it's for Yang Xiao."
Yang Ying then smiled and said:
"Brother has to keep his word, you will come to see Xiao Ying, right?"
"Sure, my dear, go back now."
The siblings walked away, turning back every three steps, unable to leave.
Yang Xiao sighed, turned, and walked towards the Financial Building.
Although the news of Gong Yu's death made him somewhat sad today, helping Yang Kai and his sister brought him an unexpected surprise.
Returning to the 68th floor, as he passed by the service bar in the corridor, he saw two youths leaning on the bar flirting, specifically, flirting with woman number 25.
A nameless jealousy arose in Yang Xiao's heart. Without caring who those two were, he walked directly behind the bar, and under the astonished gaze of woman number 25, he put his arm around her shoulder.
"This is my woman!"
