Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 480 - Pet Hatching

Seeing Nie Yan ignoring Mo Tao and Mo An, Mo Yan nudged up to Nie Yan's side. "Nirvana Flame..."

"What?" Nie Yan rolled his eyes, the annoyance in his voice as clear as day.

"N-nothing..." Mo Yan awkwardly stepped away. Apart from her being a bit short, she was a fairly pretty girl. But in front of Nie Yan, all her confidence seemed to vanish. Nirvana Flame... this was someone who could have countless beautiful women at his beck and call with the snap of a finger. It would be strange if he did take a fancy to her. She glanced over her shoulder, and saw Mo Tao and Mo An signalling her with their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Nie Yan immediately knew the scheme the Mo trio was playing. His heart was filled with even more disdain for them. Even if Mo Yan stripped naked and presented herself in front of him, he still wouldn't show the slightest bit of interest.

The beauty standing next to Zhai Hao approached Nie Yan. She had a slim build, fair unblemished skin, and a beautiful face. Everything about her was perfect. Her presence seemed to make Mo Yan look like a background character.

Mo Yan gazed at her enviously.

Nie Yan felt this beauty was somewhat familiar. Seeing her name, he realized she was Jiang Yingyu. He didn't expect her to be with Zhai Hao's group.

"Nirvana Flame... I didn't think it would be you." Jiang Yingyu was just informed that Nie Yan was Nirvana Flame. She was shocked, yet at the same time, she didn't find this strange at all. He was a person who was destined to stand at the peak overlooking others.

"The world is full of surprising coincidences," Nie Yan smiled.

Even though Jiang Yingyu couldn't read Nie Yan's expression, she felt a sense of distance from his tone, an insurmountable wall that prevented others from getting too close. Her keen intuition immediately made her think of Xie Yao. A feeling of sadness washed over her. She didn't feel like she was lacking in any way compared to Xie Yao. Only that some things were decreed by fate. She simply didn't have Xie Yao's luck.

"Hey, Nie Yan. Didn't you say you were going to visit the auction house? We're really sorry for sucking up so much of your time," Zhai Hao hurriedly interjected after noticing the mood turning awkward. He gave Nie Yan a meaningful look.

"Ah, you're right. I still have a lot of things to do. I'll be taking my leave first. Let Sesame Cake and the rest carry you guys through Dark Marsh. Zhai Hao, Li Rui, let me know when you call over Xuchen too. We should all meet up some time. If you guys really see me as a brother, don't be so formal with me next time, or else I'll get mad!" Nie Yan laughed.

"Sure! I'll be sure to tell him to come next time!" Li Rui exclaimed. He was surprised Nie Yan remembered Liu Xuchen despite only meeting a couple of times.

He was deeply moved. Nie Yan became a lifelong brother in his heart!

"Brother!" Zhai Hao heartily patted Nie Yan's shoulders.

In truth, Nie Yan was feeling the most emotional right now. Having known Zhai Hao and Li Rui for so many years, he really didn't want for them to drift apart.

Seeing Nie Yan acting so chummy with Zhai Hao and Li Rui, Mo Tao and Mo An were green with envy.

"God dammit. Those two twits really are lucky," Mo An muttered under his breath.

Sesame Cake and the other four from Asskickers United were also envious. They resolved in their hearts to handle this task even more earnestly. If Zhai Hao and Li Rui needed something, they wouldn't dare to dally.

"Well, I'm off." Nie Yan put his cloak back on and departed.

Seeing Nie Yan's back receding in the distance. Sesame Cake turned to Zhai Hao. "We were told by the boss to keep helping you guys out in the future. If you need something, just give us a shout." He then turned to the other four Mages. "Blackie, go ask Bird in the Starry Night Potion Shop for some Antidotes. We'll set off when you get back."
