Chapter 425: Chapter 427: Going to See the Wild Boar?

"Brother Xiao, these people are too bad, we can’t just let these big villains off!"

Just as Xiao Yi hesitated, Xiaoxiao had already spoken. Clenching her fists angrily, her eyes ablaze with a murderous look, she raised her little fist.

"What do you plan to do?"

Seeing Xiaoxiao’s demeanor, Xiao Yi was taken aback. This little girl wasn’t thinking of killing them to silence them, was she? That seemed far too violent. These guys, although quite annoying, looked like nothing more than a bunch of cheaters from their behavior at the start, apparently motivated by greed rather than sheer malice, and certainly not deserving of death. He had already punished them, each with a kick; especially the leader, whom he taught a harsh lesson—it was possible he was crippled for life.

It seemed there was no need to go to such extremes.

Moreover, deep down in his heart, he did not wish Xiaoxiao to be a bloodthirsty, cruel girl. It was fine if she liked to fight occasionally or enjoyed bustling scenes, but if it came to taking lives, that would be...

"I want to call the police, let my sister arrest them all and make them rot in jail!"

Xiaoxiao, gritting her teeth, furiously waved her little fists and pointed at the man who had been threatening her, saying, "Especially that horrible guy! He dared call me a fool—he really infuriated me!"

So that was it...

Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Xiao Yi suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing Xiaoxiao looking so vexed, he really feared she might say something like, ’I want to kill them.’

However, despite her seeming deep hatred for them and thinking of a severe punishment, it turned out she just intended to call the police...

When he heard her last sentence, his face involuntarily showed a speechless expression. This little girl held quite a grudge, getting so angry just because someone called her foolish.

Xiaoxiao, not noticing the expression on Xiao Yi’s face, took out her phone after speaking indignantly and said, "I’ll call my sister to bring people over and arrest them all."

"Hold on a second."

Xiao Yi was startled by Xiaoxiao’s words. He had used some True Energy earlier when he intervened, and if Zeng Xiaomei found out it was him who took action, it would not be good news—it would mean revealing his strength. He quickly stopped Xiaoxiao.

"Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?"

Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, not understanding why he was stopping her. A worried expression appeared on her face.

"Little girl, you can’t tell your sister about this, not just your sister, but any police officer either."

Xiao Yi’s forehead was beaded with a faint sweat as he organized his thoughts before speaking earnestly to a bewildered Xiaoxiao, "Girl, although we are the victims here and those guys are no good, the way I handled it was perhaps a bit too harsh. If the police find out it was me, they might hold me accountable. You wouldn’t want to see me go to jail, right?"

"This... makes sense, so what should we do?"

Xiaoxiao’s eyes glanced at the swindlers lying all over the ground, and suddenly her movements stopped. Xiao Yi had fought them to help her. If the police blamed Xiao Yi, that wouldn’t be acceptable, but she wasn’t willing to let those guys off so easily either.

"I’ll make the call. We can make an anonymous call and just inform them about the people to be arrested," Xiao Yi reassured her as he gently patted her shoulder and then took out his phone and started dialing.

Soon, the call connected, he informed them of their location, and after hanging up, he said to Xiaoxiao, "Alright, someone will take care of them soon. Let’s go."

"Brother Xiao’s method is always the best, hehe,"

Xiaoxiao chuckled.

Xiao Yi laughed softly, said nothing more, and turned back to the car. He then addressed Xiaoxiao, who had also returned to the car, "Are we still going on the road trip?"

"Yes, of course! We rarely get out; how could we just give up now!"

Xiaoxiao said, undeterred before starting the car again.

Seeing the resolute look on Xiaoxiao’s face, Xiao Yi didn’t say anything further. However, this time, he fastened his seatbelt. After the previous incident, he felt it was better to wear it.

The car quickly started up again, heading steadfastly forward.

As it turned out, Xiao Yi’s decision to wear a seatbelt was exceptionally wise. Xiaoxiao’s driving skills were not particularly good, often resorting to abrupt stops. If it weren’t for the seatbelt, even someone with Xiao Yi’s capabilities would have been in trouble.

"I say, girl, where exactly are you planning to go?"

Initially, Xiao Yi was quite composed and didn’t bother asking Xiaoxiao where she was heading. But as time went by and the road conditions in front became increasingly remote and difficult, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but ask.

They had already left G City and entered the jurisdiction of a neighboring city.

A road trip, was it? They had surely strayed far from that plan.

"We’re almost there."

Xiaoxiao’s forehead also showed a hint of fatigue as she stared ahead at the uneven road that had lost its concrete surface. In her eyes, there was no fear, but instead, they sparkled brighter, and her face showed excitement as she clutched the steering wheel and continued driving forward.

"Stop for a moment."

Xiao Yi, seeing the excited look on Xiaoxiao’s face, called out to her, unable to help himself.

"Let me drive, and you give the directions."

Looking at the puzzled Xiaoxiao, Xiao Yi said helplessly. Xiaoxiao had been driving for several hours, and he really couldn’t bear to let her continue, especially since the road ahead was difficult to navigate.

"You know how to drive?"

Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi with some surprise on her face.

"A little."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Why have you never mentioned that you can drive?"

"You never asked..."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiaoxiao, who was staring wide-eyed, unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and stepped out.

"Brother Xiao, can you really drive?"

Moving to the passenger seat and watching as Xiao Yi took the driver’s seat, Xiaoxiao’s face still held a hint of doubt.

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t drive us into a river, but you’d better fasten your seatbelt quickly."

Xiao Yi began adjusting the seat and said casually as he started checking the rearview mirrors and such.

"Click!"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Xiaoxiao, like a reflex, fastened her seatbelt tightly, a nervous look appearing on her face as she watched Xiao Yi apprehensively, "Brother Xiao, are you really..."

"...!"

Watching Xiaoxiao’s cautious manner, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes in silence, too lazy to say anything more. He simply started the car, deciding to let his actions and skills speak for themselves rather than words.

To be honest, Xiao Yi didn’t really like the Beetle. He wasn’t fond of this type of car, but he wasn’t very picky about cars in general. After driving the car a bit and quickly familiarizing himself with its performance, Xiao Yi was almost certain that not only had Xiaoxiao’s brake system been modified, but the power system and other components were also upgraded, giving the typical Beetle much stronger capabilities than usual.

This girl had modified the car like this, was she planning to race?

After getting used to the car, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but look at Xiaoxiao, who was still visibly nervous, with a speechless expression.

"Brother Xiao, you really can drive!"

After sitting for a while and feeling the stable movement of the car, as well as Xiao Yi’s familiar and calm demeanor, Xiaoxiao finally confirmed that Xiao Yi actually could drive. As Xiao Yi looked her way, her face inevitably showed an embarrassed expression.

"Now tell me, which way are we supposed to go, left or right?"

What do you mean, ’So you really can drive’? He could drive all along; if not, he wouldn’t have dared offer to drive. Xiao Yi looked at her speechlessly, a bit annoyed, as they approached a fork in the road.

"It should be left, wait, no, it should be right..."

Xiaoxiao looked at the fork ahead, a thoughtful expression on her face, as her finger pointed left, then right.

"..."

After several back and forth between left and right, almost leading to a collision with a truck nearby, Xiao Yi couldn’t take it anymore. Completely speechless, he stopped the car and stared at Xiaoxiao, "Little girl, don’t tell me you don’t even know where we are supposed to be going?"

"I... Of course, I do know. The place we are heading to... I clearly remember the way, but how come there’s no road sign here?"

Xiaoxiao’s face flushed red; she could remember the destination and a bunch of routes, like which direction to take, where to turn left or right. Up until now, everything had been going smoothly, with every intersection having a road sign, but this intersection had nothing, leaving her at a loss.

However, seeing the doubtful look on Xiao Yi’s face, her lips couldn’t help but pout as she stubbornly said,

"Just tell me, where is our destination?"

Looking at the expression on Xiaoxiao’s face, Xiao Yi sighed softly. He had finally understood the logic behind this girl’s sense of direction; this girl perhaps overestimated her memory, depending solely on remembered routes to navigate?(To be continued.
