Douluo Dalu: Legend Of Xiao Yan

Author's Note: Not my best chapter and I am not proud of it. I wrote this in a bad day, which is today, within an hour and a half and I just can't think clearly of what to write correctly so I apologize if you don't like it. I'll edit this when I have the time and brain cells to think of what to edit.

============================================================================================================================================

Xiao Yan stared blankly at Zhu Zhuqing who also stared back at him with cold and indifferent eyes.

'Why is she here? I mean, yeah, Zhu Zhuqing's going to enroll at shrek academy, which meeting her would be inevitable, but that event should have been tomorrow! What's going on?'

"... Zhu Zhuqing?" Unconsciously, Xiao Yan had muttered the girl's name into a whisper. Fortunately, no one seem to pick up his words, except, unfortunately two did.

Xun Er's face froze and Zhu Zhuqing's body went incredibly still. Xun Er had picked up the words due to her former spirit beast form bloodline coursing through her veins. It had enhanced her entire body's capabilities and that included her senses. Which means she has enhanced hearing.

As for Zhu Zhuqing? She's a beast spirit master with a feline spirit. Every beast spirit master would have certain benefits they would get from their spirit that they can even used when being in their base form. And with a feline spirit? She has enhanced sight, hearing and speed. So it's obvious why she could hear what Xiao Yan had said.

Xun Er turned to the other side of Xiao Yan to finally realized that there was another girl by his side. Without thinking, she sent the black haired girl a glare, which the said black haired girl ignored.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes went wide for a moment before they turned more cold than ever, though different than before that only had indifference in them, this time, they were filled with hostility.

"...Who are you?" The nails of both her hands slowly grew longer and sharper. Spirit power slowly leaked out of her body.

Xun Er noticed the act, humphed, and released her own spirit power to counteract Zhu Zhuqing's. The cat girl quickly noticed this and pushed on releasing her spirit power at the two.

This was it.

The battle of the century.

A battle so legendary, that it would forever go down in history, would begin.

"Here you go, freshly cooked chicken drumstick. Enjoy!" But before the cat fight could begin, the voice of the vendor woke Xiao Yan up and had also stopped the fight of the century. Xiao Yan subconsciously took the cooked chicken drumstick by hand, paid for it and turned to a blank looking Xun Er.

Xiao Yan froze, despite his body physiology that always keeps his body warm to the point only ultimate ice or snow could affect him, the blank shadowed face of Xun Er and unamused expression of hers caused him to stood still frozen.

Xiao Yan's mind went into overdrive into thinking on what stupidity of his had caused him to land into this kind of situation.

After all, this wasn't the first time he was introduced to the scary and ice cold fury face of Xun Er, he was introduced to it when they became officially friends and he did something massively stupid. Being a kid again could do that to you, despite having a teen mind, his mindset and intelligence had caused him to sometimes act his age.

"X-Xun Er, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked in a stutter.

Xun Er and, unknown to Xiao Yan, Zhu Zhuqing as well, rolled their eyes as they glance at each other's eyes and used what every women innately have to communicate with each other without using any words, eye telepathy.

'Did he seriously not notice?' Zhu Zhuqing asked.

'Yeah, sorry, Xiao Yan has a habit of staring at someone for some amount of time until someone f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y 'wake' him up.' Xun Er replied.

'Eh? Then how come he didn't get affected by two powerful different spirit powers, clashing at each other, with him being the middle of it?' Zhu Zhuqing asked in surprise, a single eyebrow raised to show it. Was this boy in front of her the same level of cultivation as her? Or, perhaps even more?

Xun Er merely shook her head and set a mysterious smile on her mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head in understanding.

Women, or girls in this case, are truly strange creatures. One moment they were hostile at each other and then next they were chatting with each other like sisters.

Xiao Yan scratched the back of his head as he looked between the two girls staring blankly at each other's eyes. No emotions could be seen in their eyes except pure indifference.

'Are they being hostile to each other? Or did they suddenly become friends? Man, even in a another life and a another world I still can't understand women/girls.' Xiao Yan thought in bemus.e.m.e.nt. Biting into the freshly cooked chicken drumstick, he continued watching the two girls by the side, who was now ignoring him.

Several moments later, Zhu Zhuqing's order came and which 'woke' both of the young ladies up from their communication.

Zhu Zhuqing took the fish, paid for it, giving a small wary nod towards Xun Er and glance at Xiao Yan, she swiftly turned to walked away.

Although she seemed as if she was walking, but actually, it was like watching a cat walking away in fear.(A/N: Get it?)

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to talk to boy who knew her name, but her instincts, her cat side, practically screamed at her to quickly get away from the boy. It was like he was a powerful wolf in sheep's clothing, that if provoked, he would unleash a bloodbath upon the land.

'Or a very thirsty beast protecting it's prey...' She had thought in amus.e.m.e.nt, though she felt a small shiver down her spine, as she remembered those two dangerous eyes that held many untold secrets, she continued nibbling happily on her sauce covered barbequed fish.

But then her mood turned a bit down. The fish she was eating had made her remembered a certain blonde haired boy she had shared a lot of memories with.

'Why did he come here? Is he alright? Wait! No no no no no no no.... Get it together girl! He left you and ran to another empire, leaving a letter of excuses, without telling you himself. While he run away and having the time of his life, you had the worst time of your life!' Memories of her time back at the clan came crashing back in her mind. She clomped on her fish, and in one bite, had finished it all.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened as she looked down at the stick, that once had a crispy barbequed fish, was gone and immediately she felt dejected and sad.

Letting out a long tired sigh, she continued her walk, but more slowly than before, to the way of the hotel she had reserved a room at. All the while not noticing a certain pair, consisted of one boy and one girl, walking leisurely by each of her side.

Arriving at Great Night Hotel(A/N: I suck at naming things) Zhu Zhuqing halted as her ears picked up something... or to be specific, someone chewing on something just besides her.

Xiao Yan casually bit on his chicken drumstick as he stared in mild amus.e.m.e.nt at Zhu Zhuqing. Before Zhu Zhuqing could ask the question in her mind, Xiao Yan, swallowing the meat of the chicken, opened his mouth and said.

"Huh. Well looks like we stay at the same hotel."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhuqing spoke in shock confusion. Sharply turning to her right, she sees Xun Er standing by her side, still nibbling on her chicken, with a resigned and happy expression.

"A-Are you...?"

Swallowing a piece of the chicken meat on her hand, Zhu Zhuqing swore she saw the grease of the chicken somehow disappeared from Xun Er's hand and around her lips.

"Yup. We reserved a room here in the hotel a couple of days ago with the help of some friends." Xun Er replied.

Zhu Zhuqing blinked her eyes and just let out a sigh. Turning to Xiao Yan, who now finished his chicken, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't admit it but she was slightly amused and shocked at someone eating an entire bone of chicken leg, she opened her mouth to asked about the main question in her mind.

"Hey, how do you–"

"Xiao Yan."

"Eh?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in confusion at being cut off.

"My name's Xiao Yan."

"And I'm Xun Er." Xun Er followed after she finished her chicken.

Zhu Zhuqing just stared.

Xiao Yan shook his head and asked.

"So, you gonna introduce yourself or not?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you already know that?"

"Know about what?" Xiao Yan played being dumb. Staring at her in confusion. He was filled in on what happened and he cursed himself for being an idiot.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrow twitched before releasing a slow and long breath.

'He's clearly playing dumb. Sigh, I don't know what they're doing or what their goals are, they might even be agents from the clan, and I don't have the confidence to fight them as my instincts keep screaming at me to abandoned such ideas. I might as well go along with it.'

"Zhu Zhuqing."
