Chapter -5.
Wutan City, Xiao Family.
Xiao Huo moved at an incredible speed, as quick as thunder and lightning.
"My cultivation has already reached Dou Emperor."
"Even though I only have two days, I want to go to Wutan City to show off and quickly acquire a Yun Yun experience card. After all, I want to know what it's like to be with a beauty like Yun Yun."
Xiao Huo wore a smile,
It was merely 1000 show-off points; with his skills, it would be a breeze!
He felt a surge of anticipation.
Soon, he would meet Xun'er; he was curious about what this beautiful girl looked like.
"Sister Xun'er, I will take good care of you. I'm not like that foolish dog Xiao Yan, who only sneaks around at night and pretends to be aloof."
As for Xiao Yan,
A thirty-year-old old man, sneaking around, crossing over to Dou Po while acting innocent,
What a repulsive dog thief!
Xiao Huo's eyes glinted coldly, "Dog thief... if I come across you, hm hm hm..."
Suddenly, a chilling voice interrupted,
"Who?!"
"Why have you come to the Xiao family?" Ling Ying's voice emerged. He was concealed in the shadows, confident in his disguise; even if the opponent was also a master, they would never find him!
Ling Ying, hidden in the dark, felt a jolt of fear! His scalp tingled, and he broke into a cold sweat; an unseen pressure surrounded him, and the young man in front of him could actually call out his name?
Moreover,
Wasn't this voice that of the young master of the Xiao family?
How could Xiao Huo, labeled as useless, possess such terrifying strength?
"Can I not move around my own house?" Xiao Huo's voice came again.
"Young Master Xiao!"
Ling Ying stepped out, trembling all over; for some reason, he didn't dare to look up in front of Xiao Huo, the overwhelming aura radiating from the young man filled him with immense respect and fear!
"It's you, hiding in the dark to protect Xun'er, right?" Xiao Huo said casually.
"Yes."
Ling Ying lowered his head, feeling an immense pressure from the young master in front of him that made him want to kneel; he was too powerful! When he had seen Xiao Huo before, why hadn't he sensed this terrifying aura?
"Ling Ying."
"You've been lurking in the shadows, thinking this young master wouldn't notice you?" Xiao Huo said coldly.
Ling Ying's body shook!
Everything he did was actually observed by the young master of the Xiao family!
And he couldn't sense Xiao Huo's presence, which indicated that the young man in front of him was far more formidable than he had imagined!
"Please forgive me, Young Master Xiao, I couldn't reveal myself earlier because..." Ling Ying was about to explain.
"Shut up!"
"This young master is returning home from training; when did it become your place to stop me?" Xiao Huo said, a hint of coldness in his eyes, a wave of killing intent rising and enveloping Ling Ying.
Ling Ying quickly knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with terror.
"Forgive my insolence..."
"If it weren't for you protecting Xun'er daily, just now, you would have already become a corpse! In this Jia Ma Empire, no one dares to obstruct this young master!" Xiao Huo stood with his hands behind his back, cold eyes fixed on Ling Ying, but inside he was sneering.
The thrill of showing off is exhilarating.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"I understand."
Ling Ying nodded vigorously, filled with fear in his heart.
He knew very well that the young master Xiao in front of him was definitely someone he could not provoke!
At such a young age, possessing such terrifying cultivation and strength, and with a resolute character, pretending to be a waste while actually being such a formidable expert—how could he dare to provoke him?
Moreover, he didn't dare to mention anything about the person Xun'er liked.
"Young Master, why..." Ling Ying was about to speak.
"You want to ask why I'm so powerful, right?"
"Some things that shouldn't be asked, don't ask! Knowing too much about certain matters can bring disaster upon yourself, do you understand?" Xiao Huo's eyes emitted a hint of coldness, making it hard for others to meet his gaze.
"I understand!"
Ling Ying was filled with disbelief, his eyes dazed!
"Xun'er is my woman."
"As long as I'm here, no one in this world can harm her," Xiao Huo continued, his eyes filled with determination. A girl like Xun'er deserves his lifelong protection; as for that scoundrel Xiao Yan, he was simply unworthy!
A thirty-year-old man, shamelessly sneaking around a young girl?
Stupid dog Xiao Yan, I'll deal with you later!
Ha, who told you to just be a bystander?
Ling Ying nodded solemnly, fully aware that Xiao Huo's words were not a joke.
Ling Ying was extremely ecstatic!
He knew that Xiao Huo had never expressed his feelings for Miss Xun'er before, and with this one statement from Young Master Xiao, he felt relieved!
Such a prodigy, strong in power, and at such a young age, could possess the cultivation of a Dou Emperor! Looking across the entire Jia Ma Empire, and even on the Douqi Continent, it was impossible to find such a young Dou Emperor!
The future was immeasurable!
A Dou Emperor in their teens, who has ever heard of that?
If Xiao Huo were given more time to grow, who knows, he might reach Dou Venerate, Half saint! Even Dou God!
In this way, the Gu family's status would soar!
Who would dare to disrespect the Gu family on the entire Douqi Continent?
Ling Ying was pondering, feeling fortunate that Xun'er could have such a close relationship with Xiao Huo!
So, he would secretly protect Xun'er and naturally promote the relationship between Miss Xun'er and Young Master Xiao!
Ling Ying felt delighted in his heart.
Being close to such a talented young man would surely elevate his status in the Gu family!
"I hope that in the future, when this young master is with Xun'er, you understand," Xiao Huo said coldly, but inside he was somewhat excited. With less of Ling Ying's secret observation, it would be more convenient for him to act.
Hehe.
"I understand, I understand!"
"Young Master Xiao, you can do whatever you want! Miss Xun'er will be under your protection!" Ling Ying also smiled, revealing a look that men understand. It was indeed good for such a talented young man to further his relationship with Xun'er.
Bang!
In an instant,
Ling Ying knelt on one knee, looking at Xiao Huo with awe.
"Young Master Xiao!"
"I have never seen a talent like you in my life! If you have any orders, feel free to call me; I will certainly do my utmost!" Ling Ying decisively knelt on the ground, following Xiao Huo!
"Mm."
"This young master hopes that today's matters are known only to you."
"If Xun'er knows I'm too strong, it might not be beneficial for her training," Xiao Huo said, feeling helpless inside. If it weren't for his Dou Emperor experience card only lasting three days, he wouldn't have to be so miserable.
"I understand!"
Ling Ying was somewhat moved, realizing how much effort Young Master Xiao was putting in for Miss Xun'er.
