Chapter 138 Brotherly Price: Five Million Gold Coins!
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li both looked at Xiao Ran and Xiao Yan in astonishment.

"Brother Ran, Xiao Yanzi, what kind of powerful enemy did you encounter? How could the Lion King be beaten like this?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had tears in his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran aggrievedly after hearing this.

Xiao Yan scratched his head and looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Then he opened his mouth and said,

"It's nothing serious, big brother and second brother. We haven't eaten yet. How about we talk while we eat?"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were very smart people. They knew there was something hidden behind it as soon as they heard it.

He smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then follow me."

Having said that, he nodded to Xiao Ran again.

"Brother Ran, go do your thing first."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.

"Big brother, second brother, take care!"

After the three brothers of the Xiao family left.

Xiao Ran turned to look at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and said,
"It's okay. Just find a place to lie down. Xiaoqing, let's go back to the room and rest."

"Oh, okay sir."

Xiao Qing nodded, looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King with some sympathy, and followed Xiao Ran.

The purple-gold winged lion king roared towards the sky.

Xiao Ran turned around suddenly.

"If you keep shouting and talking nonsense, I will eat lion's head tonight!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately shrank his neck.

After Xiao Ran left, he curled his lips and muttered disdainfully.

"People who hit the lion king don't know the good heart! If it weren't for me, where would you have gone to have fun last night? Humph!"

"I am a great lion and I will not bother with an ignorant human like you! Don't really think that I am afraid of you."

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

After venting his anger with words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King limped to the place where he had rested before.

……

That evening.

Xiao Qing sat at the table with her head tilted. She watched Xiao Ran sitting cross-legged and regulating his breathing, while from time to time she fiddled with the small fire on the table which had shrunk to a few inches long.

Xiao Ran began to calculate the gains from this trip.

Previously, he and Xiao Yan found the Green Lotus Seat deep in the magma where the Green Lotus Earth Fire was born, and it returned to Xiao Ran.

All the lotus seeds born in the lotus seat belonged to Xiao Ran.

However, seeing Xiao Yan's pitiful appearance, Xiao Ran finally gave two lotus seeds to Xiao Yan to use.

The rest were stored and not taken or refined to improve his strength.

The lotus seeds of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire are non-renewable, at least until the birthplace of the next Green Lotus Earth Core Fire is found.

So these are all natural treasures for refining elixirs.

As for upgrading, he can do so at any time by completing system tasks.

Of course, Xiao Ran also absorbed some of the fire power there.

However, as soon as he started to use the Taiyin True Fire to absorb, the temperature there suddenly began to drop.

Yao Lao even cursed Xiao Ran for wasting resources.

Only then did Xiao Ran realize that the strange flame was not comparable to ordinary fire.

So that after thousands of years, another blue lotus fire can be born there.

Xiao Ran did not continue to absorb the fire from the ground, but just took the lotus seeds back.

While closing your eyes and regulating your breathing,

Suddenly, the system's voice came from my mind.

[Ding! Now issuing a system task: Host, please go to the Snake Tribe's *** location within three days and stay there for thirty days. You will receive a generous reward if you complete the task! "

Oh? A new mission has arrived! Xiao Ran was delighted.

I was just thinking about going to the capital of the Empire to look for Yun Yun first and help her solve the hidden dangers in Yunshan.
He should first go to the Tagor Desert to find the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and refine it for Xiao Yan. Of course, his main purpose was definitely not for the beautiful and vicious Queen Medusa!
However, I didn't expect that the system would send the task directly to me.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran calmed down.

Then he began to think about the preparations for the next trip to the Snake Tribe.

at this time,

There was a knock on the door.

Xiaoqing got up immediately when she heard the sound and went to open the door.

Then he saw Xiao Yan standing at the door, pacing back and forth and rubbing his hands, looking uneasy and worried.

"Stop hanging around the door and come in."

Hearing Xiao Ran's voice, Xiao Yan nodded happily to Xiao Qing, and then hurried into the room.

Seeing Xiao Ran sitting there, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Brother Ran."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Yan chuckled.

"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, thinking about Brother Ran..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran spoke directly,
"Stop, if you have something to say, just say it. If not, I'm going to sleep."

"Don't! Don't! Something's wrong. I'm busy."

Xiao Yan waved his hands repeatedly.

Then he honestly put forward his ideas.

"It's like this, Brother Ran, I'm sure you've heard the teacher talk about my skills, so now I urgently need the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to improve my strength."

"Didn't we infer from the scales we found underground that it was taken away by Queen Medusa of the Serpent Clan? So..."

At this point, Xiao Yan pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran knew how thick-skinned Xiao Yan was. The more familiar he was with someone, the thicker he became.

Without saying a word, he rubbed his fingers towards Xiao Yan.

After growing up with Xiao Ran for many years, he naturally understood the meaning of this gesture.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth.

"Brother Ran, let me give you a brotherly price! One million gold coins, how about you help me get back the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire?"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.
"Ah! I'll give you two million gold coins, and you go get me a Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire?"

"That……"

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Xiao Ran said,

"This is your last chance to make an offer. If you don't meet the criteria, just go back!"

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"I, well, isn't it because I don't have that ability? Don't be angry, brother Ran."

Xiao Ran smiled and said,

"I'm not angry. I'm listening to your offer."

As he said this, he closed his eyes.

He was secretly laughing in his heart, as he was also preparing to go to the Snake Tribe to complete the system task.

It would be best if Xiao Yan took the initiative to come forward and start the fight with him.

Seeing Xiao Ran closing his eyes and saying nothing, Xiao Yan thought for a moment, stretched out a palm, gritted his teeth and said,
"Five million gold coins, absolutely no more. If there is more, I will..."

Xiao Ran immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. My price is five million gold coins!"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. Why didn’t he say it was a brotherly price when he offered one million earlier?
Then I heard Xiao Ran say,

"But we brothers should be clear about the accounts. The interest must not be reduced. We are just nephews, so we should just stick to it as usual!"

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and after counting with his fingers, he felt overwhelmed.

How is the interest calculated?
At that time, five out of twenty came back, five million gold coins, my God!

That means that at the end of the year, he will have to pay back Brother Ran 20 million gold coins including principal and interest!
