Chapter 51: Xiao Xuner is Pregnant
"Father, I..."
Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Yan was stunned, struggling to speak.
"We've done our best."
Watching the battered Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan sighed.
"Father, I suspect that that beast, Jia Lie'ao, kidnapped Xuner..."
Xiao Yan spoke with discontent.
"Enough, Yan'er!"
Xiao Zhan's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Have you not caused enough trouble? These days, for Xuner's sake, the Xiao Family has already offended many powers."
"If this continues, how will the Xiao Family survive in Wutan City?"
Seeing Xiao Yan persisting in his unreasonable behavior, Xiao Zhan felt somewhat displeased.
The Jia Lie family was one of the three major families in Wutan City alongside the Xiao Family and surpassed the Xiao Family in strength.
Without solid evidence, what ability did the Xiao Family have to investigate the Jia Lie family?
Unless the two major families went to war! The cost of such a conflict was something the Xiao Family couldn't afford.
"Father, so are we just giving up on finding Xuner?"
Xiao Yan was anxious.
Thinking about Xuner possibly suffering at this moment, he was restless, unable to sleep day or night.
"Yan'er, Xuner should be fine."
"If my guess is correct, she should have returned."
Xiao Zhan's expression seemed distant, reminiscing about the day Xuner was brought to the Xiao Family.
The strength of those people was something the Xiao Family couldn't provoke.
He had long known that Xuner's background was not simple, hence he had indulged her for so many years, even somewhat fearing her.
Now, with Xuner suddenly leaving without any news, Xiao Zhan speculated that she must have been taken away by the forces behind her.
"Returned?"
"Returned where?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was puzzled, looking at Xiao Zhan.
"Yan'er, you should know, Xuner is not really part of the Xiao Family, right?"
"She has a massive force behind her that the Xiao Family cannot provoke."
"I speculate that her sudden disappearance means she has returned to her family."
Xiao Zhan sighed, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
This girl had been in the Xiao Family for so many years, but she didn't even bid farewell when leaving.
"Is that so? But why didn't she..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan paused, somewhat believing Xiao Zhan's words but feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
Why did Xuner leave without telling me?
Did she not have anything to say to me?
Xiao Yan felt lost.
He wondered if he was being presumptuous.
Perhaps, in Xuner's heart, he, Xiao Yan, was dispensable.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a bitterness in his heart.
"Alright, Yan'er, let's not concern ourselves with Xuner anymore."
Seeing Xiao Yan's dejected appearance, Xiao Zhan felt sorry for his son.
"How have you been feeling lately? Has the elixir been effective?"
Changing the subject, Xiao Zhan mentioned the elixir he got from Chen Feng last time.
"No, apart from feeling a bit feverish the night I took it, there hasn't been any reaction."
Finally bringing up the elixir, Xiao Yan regained some spirit, saying helplessly.
"Father, do you think Young Master Chen Feng might be deceiving us?"
After so many days with no results, Xiao Yan was doubtful.
"He shouldn't be. He's a true disciple of the Yunlan Sect and a direct descendant of the Mithril family. Why would he bother disgracing our Xiao Family?"
Xiao Zhan frowned.
If this elixir had no effect, they would have been played by someone directly.
Although Xiao Zhan didn't care about the marriage contract with Nalan Yanran, being played like this was hard to swallow.
"Chen Feng Young Master said the elixir's effects would take about three months to work, right?"
"Maybe after some time, its power will activate, and my talent will return?"
Xiao Yan still held some hope.
He could only think positively.
If his talent couldn't be restored, he would fall into endless despair.
"Let's hope so."
Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, sighing softly.
His son really had a difficult fate.
"The wind on the mountain is strong. If there's nothing, go back."
Looking at Xiao Yan standing at the edge of the cliff, Xiao Zhan advised.
He was genuinely afraid that this kid might suddenly lose hope and jump off.
In the small world:
A figure moved swiftly, leaving a trail of shadows behind, moving like a ghost.
After a while, the figure stopped, revealing Chen Feng's face.
"Indeed, it's a ground-level body technique, with remarkable power."
Chen Feng exhaled lightly, a hint of a smile appearing.
During this period, besides practicing the Dragon and Phoenix Art with Xuner and Yafei, he didn't forget his own cultivation.
Moreover, he had acquired a ground-level body technique from Xuner's small treasury.
The name of this ground-level technique was "Shadow Pursuit," the very technique Chen Feng had been practicing just now.
"Shadow Pursuit" could differentiate into countless illusions, like a chaotic dance of demons, making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake.
Chen Feng had good talent. In just a few days, he had successfully practiced the first level of "Shadow Pursuit."
With this ground-level body technique, Chen Feng was confident that, with his strength as an eight-star Fighter, he could confront a Grand Fighter head-on.
Whether it was techniques, methods, or cultivation resources, Xuner's small treasury had it all.
However, Chen Feng wasn't greedy and only chose a few techniques suitable for himself.
Also, his fighting aura attribute was thunder, so he couldn't practice techniques of other attributes.
"Master, please take a rest."
Seeing Chen Feng stop practicing, Xuner walked over and handed him a cup of water.
Under Chen Feng's continuous guidance, Xuner had gradually acquired the demeanor of a servant.
When tired from practice, she obediently handed over a cup of water and wiped the sweat off Chen Feng.
During baths, she gently helped Chen Feng wash his back.
When practicing the Dragon and Phoenix Art, she would actively cooperate.
It could be said that as time passed, Xuner had gradually become like Chen Feng.
Seeing Xuner's transformation, Chen Feng was naturally very satisfied.
His demands weren't high. He just wanted Xuner to stop seeking death.
He had always been generous to compliant women.
If Xuner could bear him a son and a daughter, he might consider letting her go when he became strong enough.
Of course, it also depended on whether Xuner wanted to leave or not.
Taking the water cup, Chen Feng directly sat down at the nearby stone table.
To make Xuner comfortable, Chen Feng had brought in quite a few things from outside.
Apart from being relatively desolate here, the other living facilities were all complete.
"Ding, detected that Xuner is already pregnant, rewarding the host a big gift package."
"Ding, does the host want to open the big gift package?"
At that moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Chen Feng's mind.
