Ye Qiu subconsciously hugged Nangong Xiaoxiao and his hand felt a piece of smoothness. Only then did he realize that Nangong Xiaoxiao was naked at the moment, and he quickly said: “Sister Xiaoxiao, go and put on your clothes quickly.”
　　However, Nangong Xiaoxiao seemed not to have heard Ye Qiu’s words. Instead, she rubbed against him in his arms and acted coquettishly： “I just miss you,Pavilion Master, love me~”
　　As she spoke, she was about to kiss Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was also aroused with a burning heart. If it weren’t for the person beside him, he would definitely have his way with Nan Gong Xiaoxiao right on the spot.
　　“Sister Xiaoxiao…”
Just as Ye Qiu opened his mouth, he felt the body in his arms suddenly stiffen. Immediately after that, Nan Gong Xiaoxiao pulled out of his arms, and her gaze fell on the dirty girl behind him with a look of surprise and confusion on her face.
“This… whose child is this? Why is she so dirty? Nan gong Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
The girl was startled by nan gong xiaoxiao’s reaction and instinctively shrank behind Ye Qiu looking at Nan Gong Xiaoxiao with fear and unease in her eyes.
　　At the same time, two words involuntarily emerged in her mind.
　　So big！
　　So white！
　　“Sister Xiaoxiao, you’d better put on your clothes first. We’ll talk about this later.” Ye Qiu said.
cast a charming glance at Ye Qiu and then went into the room to put on clothes.
　　“Come in！” Ye Qiu pulled the girl into the room.
　　The girl hid behind Ye Qiu and curiously looked around the environment, with vigilance in her eyes.
　　“This is my territory. There’s no need to be so nervous.” Ye Qiu comforted.
Soon, Nan Gong Xiaoxiao came out of the bedroom fully dressed, looking dignified and imposing, and asked again: “Pavilion Master, what’s going on with this girl?”
　　Ye Qiu explained, “This is a child I picked up in Lingyin City. Her name is… uh, she hasn’t told me her name yet.”
　　“What’s your name？” Ye Qiu turned around and asked the girl.
The girl quickly lowered her head, holding the corner of her clothes with both hands, and remained silent.
　　Subsequently, Ye Qiu briefly recounted the events, including their discovery of the four empty cities and the finding of the girl.
　　After listening, Nangong Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “It seems she is also a poor child.”
　　“Girl, don’t be afraid. From now on, this will be your home.”
　　“Sister will protect you.”
　　Only then did the girl look up at Nangong Xiaoxiao.
　　“Sister Xiaoxiao is right. You can regard this as your home. She will protect you, and no one dares to bully you here.” Ye Qiu said to the girl.
　　Nangong Xiaoxiao nodded, and then looked at the girl with a smile and said, “This child is quite pitiful. I’ll take her to take a bath and change into clean clothes first！”
　　“Thank you.” Ye Qiu said gratefully.
　　“Why are you being so polite with me.” After saying that, Nangong Xiaoxiao walked over, took the girl’s arm, and said, “Come with me！”
The girl was still dragging Ye Qiu’s arm, looking at him with her eyes.
　　“Sister Xiaoxiao is the person closest to me. Listen to her arrangements.” Ye Qiu said.
　　Only then did the girl let go of Ye Qiu’s arm and follow Nangong Xiaoxiao to take a bath.
After they left, Ye Qiu walked to the window, looking at the bustling imperial city outside the window, his heart filled with worry.
　　The strange thing about the disappearance of the population in the surrounding cities made him feel a little uneasy.
　　“I don’t know where the common people who originally lived in the four cities have gone now？ Are they alive or dead？”
　　A full half an hour passed.
　　Nangong Xiaoxiao then pulled the girl out of the bedroom.
　　The girl took a bath and changed into a clean set of clothes. The whole person took on a new look. Especially those eyes were like precious stones, extremely smart, as if they could talk.
　　However, she was sallow and emaciated, and her figure was rather thin. She looked like she had been suffering from long-term malnutrition, which made people couldn’t help but feel pity.
　　Nangong Xiaoxiao held the girl’s hand and said to Ye Qiu with a smile： “Pavilion Master, look at this child. How cute she is when she is washed clean. She is just a little thin and needs to be well nourished.”
Ye Qiu nodded, and his eyes were full of tenderness. He said: Sister Xiaoxiao, later you can help get her some delicious food to nourish her body.
　　“Don’t worry. I will arrange someone to do it in a while.” Nangong Xiaoxiao asked the girl softly： “Girl, what’s your name？ Tell sister, and sister will call you by your name from now on, okay？”
　　The girl hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, her voice as thin as a mosquito： “I… My name is Xiaodie.”
“Xiaodie, what a nice name.” Nangong Xiaoxiao touched Xiaodie’s head with a smile and said: From now on, you can call me Sister Xiaoxiao and call him Brother Changsheng. We are a family.”
　　Xiaodie looked at Ye Qiu and then nodded hesitantly.
　　“By the way, Xiaodie, what exactly happened in Lingyin City？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　Immediately, Xiaodie’s face showed horror and she trembled all over, as if remembering something terrible.
　　Seeing this, Nangong Xiaoxiao quickly hugged Xiaodie and said softly： “Don’t be afraid, it’s very safe here, and we will also protect you.”
　　“Pavilion Master, it seems that she is scared out of her wits. Let’s not ask for the time being！”
　　Ye Qiu had to give up.
Nangong Xiaoxiao then said: “Pavilion Master, after you left, I immediately call on people to build this Rongbao Pavilion headquarters. I put all my energy into this so I was a bit slow in gathering information and don’t know about the affairs of the four cities yet.”
　　“It doesn’t matter.” Ye Qiu said： “I have already promised Ning’an that I will investigate this matter tomorrow. Sister Xiaoxiao, I will leave Xiaodie to you.”
　　Having said that, Ye Qiu transmitted a voice and exhorted： “Sister Xiaoxiao, be sure to keep an eye on Xiaodie. I have an intuition that this girl is not simple and seems to be hiding some secrets.”
　　Nangong Xiaoxiao transmitted a voice and asked： “What’s the matter with the bracelet on Xiaodie’s hand？”
　　“What did you see？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　Nangong Xiaoxiao shook her head and said： “That’s not ordinary crystal. I have never seen it before.”
　　Hmm？
　　Ye Qiu was surprised.
　　Nan Gong Xiaoxiao has been in charge of Rongbao Pavilion for many years, and Rongbao Pavilion is the largest auction house in the cultivation world. When it comes to appraising treasures, Nan Gong Xiaoxiao can be said to be an expert among experts. Even she couldn’t tell the material of that bracelet, which is simply incredible.
　　Nan Gong Xiaoxiao said, “When taking a bath, Xiao Die refused to take it off no matter what. It can be seen that that bracelet is very important to her.”
　　”Moreover, based on my experience, the material of that bracelet is extraordinary and of great value.”
　　”Although I don’t know the origin of that bracelet yet, in my opinion, that bracelet can at least buy half of Rongbao Pavilion.”
　　What,　so　valuable？
　　Ye Qiu was a little surprised and took a deep look at Xiao Die. He once again told Nan Gong Xiaoxiao, “Sister Xiaoxiao, no matter what, keep an eye on her.”
　　”Okay.” Nan Gong Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.
　　Then, Ye Qiu instructed Nan Gong Xiaoxiao again and said, “Later, you pass on the order and let our people look for clues about the Emperor Sword.”
　　”In addition, send people to look for the trace of the Dragon Bodhisattva. This bastard is not dead, and I can’t feel at ease.”
