It was dawn at Boundless Depth Valley, Xueyu was finishing up her last batch of Soul Energy Pills while Zhou Yun sat cross legs on the stone chair outside the shack. He was chewing away the Soul Energy Regeneration Pills they had created earlier…

Just as Xueyu about to drew the pills from the Cooling Dew and into the porcelain bottle, she heard foreign voices rang out.

"Greetings the Imperial Guardian,"

A gentle-looking old man appeared in front of Zhou Yun. His long beard was white as snow, he was wearing a slightly brown, simple robe. With one look, Zhou Yun can easily tell, the old man grooms his beard more often than his hair… He didn't have much hair…

Zhou Yun glanced to the left of the man. Beside him was a black-hair youth, and even though his head was bowed, Zhou Yun can tell from his aura that he is pretty extraordinary. His bowed body frame, however, reminded Zhou Yun of Xueyu's-- who was, by all means, was the definition of frail.

Zhou Yun slightly frowned, now matter how he feeds Xueyu, she just won't gain weight or put any fat into her body. This little guy seems to be lacking in weight as well…

Seeing the Zhou Yun forlong stare toward the youth with an equally-prolonged frown, the older man began to sweat a little.

"Imperial Guardian, we had brought the things you had requested."

The man took out a heavily decorated ring, and with both hands, presented the ring to Zhou Yun. His eyes never once made contact with Zhou Yun's!

It was an absolutely submissive gesture!

Zhou Yun felt a little weird inside… If Xueyu ever saw this…

Zhou Yun frown immediate deepen. His brows slightly scrunched up.

The silence fell on the two pitiful figures. The man's back was full of sweat but he didn't dare to look up and ask for a response.

This was the Imperial Guardian! The most powerful in all ZuanYu! Who would da—

As if to spared the poor man, the door to the shack creaked open, it was enough room to see Xueyu's small figure leaning by the door— eavesdropping.

There was a quiet pause.

Xueyu felt heat upon her cheeks.

… She slowly closed the door, and buried her face in her tiny hand as soon as the door closed.

She was caught in action!

The two strangers didn't dare to look up, but Zhou Yun saw everything….

His XueXue is too adorable!
