Chapter -6.
"Ding ding—"
"Congratulations to the host for welcoming little brother Ling Ying! You've successfully shown off and have earned 6000 experience points, along with 7 show-off value points. You currently have 5 points remaining."
"Congratulations to the host for reaching the second stage of Dou Disciple!"
"Experience left: 600 out of 7000."
Ah!
So, leveling up to the two-stage is this easy!
Xiao Huo couldn't help but chuckle to himself; with the system in place, my cultivation truly progresses as effortlessly as drinking water.
"You can leave now."
"Don't let me see you without my orders," Xiao Huo said casually, standing tall and poised, radiating elegance.
Ling Ying quickly nodded and left respectfully, feeling a little joy in his heart. Miss Xun'er would no longer have to worry about her happiness because with Young Master Xiao, such a talented young man, what incredible achievements could he have in the future?
It was beyond imagination!
Xiao Huo's gaze shifted toward the not-so-distant Wutan City, the Xiao family!
It was time to head back!
"Xiao Yan, you scoundrel! Now you're just a passerby, how dare you bully Yanran and even pretend to be me? Just wait until I'm back; I'll make sure to deal with you properly in front of Xun'er!"
Xiao Huo flashed a carefree grin.
Xun'er's brother is coming!
In this life, no one will be able to bully you.
In this life, I'll protect you!
In this life, you are mine!
And Xiao Yan? Just a foolish dog!
Xiao Huo soared through the sky, heading toward the Xiao family,
The mission of kissing Xun'er was on his mind—how delightful!
With their childhood sweetheart bond, surely Xun'er would allow him to kiss her.
He also wondered about the feeling of kissing Xun'er, especially in front of that scoundrel Xiao Yan; just picturing that scene brought Xiao Huo immense satisfaction, especially seeing Xiao Yan suffer. What could be better than that for old Xiao?
Wutan City, Xiao Family.
At the entrance,
A girl in a purple dress stood gracefully at the door. Her cold and serene aura resembled a blooming white lotus. Even at a young age, she radiated extraordinary charm, making it hard to imagine how stunning she would be as she grew older.
Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise.
"Who are you?" she asked softly, her tall and slender figure resembling a blooming purple lotus, with her delicate,
long legs hinting at graceful curves, exuding a sense of indifference.
"Me?"
"I'm your brother Xiao Yan! Don't you recognize me?" Xiao Yan stood at the door, his expression mixed with surprise. He didn't understand why he was now at the third stage of Dou Disciple.
Since that test, it seemed like no one recognized him anymore.
Xiao Mei no longer looked down on him. Xiao Ning no longer provoked him. The family members treated him like a stranger; Xiao Yan felt like a mere passerby in the Xiao family.
What's happening?
At that moment, when Xiao Yan found Xiao Xun'er, he was met with her cold response. The familiar girl seemed indifferent, as if she didn't care who he was at all.
Xiao Yan's anger bubbled inside him.
What's going on?
He's the protagonist!
The previous Xun'er had never treated him this way!
Why the sudden change?
"I don't know you," Xiao Xun'er replied, taking a few steps back. Her beautiful eyes remained somewhat indifferent.
Many had pursued her, but she had never responded, always maintaining this demeanor.
Only her brother Xiao Huo could truly touch her heart.
"Xun'er."
Xiao Yan's fingers trembled as he tried to hold Xun'er's delicate hand. His hand shook; the girl who had once supported him so unconditionally, accompanied him, and encouraged him was now treating him like this?
She doesn't recognize him?
How could that be possible!
What has changed?
Desperately, Xiao Yan reached for Xun'er's hand, unable to believe the girl he held dear since childhood would regard
him like this!
This is unbelievable!
At that moment, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly narrowed.
A boy stepped in front of him, taking Xun'er's hand and shielding her behind him—Xiao Huo, with a cold smile on his face.
"Brother."
"What do you want with my Xun'er?"
Xiao Huo sneered, holding Xun'er's hand, his heart raced as the cool sensation of her jade-like touch and her faint fragrance enveloped him.
Is this the feeling of holding Xun'er?
So refreshing!
"Brother Xiao Huo," Xiao Xun'er blushed, her lovely, watery eyes curving into charming crescent moons. She looked incredibly beautiful and was slightly surprised and happy that Brother Xiao Huo had taken the initiative to hold her hand and speak such sweet words.
"Silly girl."
"With me to protect you, no one can come close," Xiao Huo said gently, tightening his grip on her small hand.
"Mm!"
Xiao Xun'er nodded obediently. In the past, she'd always coldly avoided others who pursued her, rarely making Brother Xiao Huo worry. Now that he was protecting her, she was pleasantly surprised.
Buzz!
Xiao Yan's expression shifted dramatically!
What's happening?
The girl he loved, his childhood sweetheart Xiao Xun'er, was being held by a stranger today? Their fingers intertwined; how could this be? This is his Xun'er!
"Damn it!" Xiao Yan growled, veins bulging in his neck, his eyes blazing with rage. Xun'er is his woman; when did it become someone else's turn to hold her hand?
"Let go of my Xun'er! Who gave you permission to hold her hand? Are you looking for trouble?" Xiao Yan was seething with anger! He clenched his fists, wishing he could tear Xiao Huo apart. "Xun'er, don't be swayed by this fool's sweet talk!"
"Impudent!"
"Xun'er is mine; when did you gain the right to give orders?" Xiao Huo stepped forward, "Someone! Give Xiao Yan thirty slaps!"
Although Xiao Huo was labeled a "waste," he was still a young master of the Xiao family.
The servants had to obey him.
"Who are you? How dare you speak to our young master like that?"
"Go on and give this brat thirty slaps!" one servant coldly sneered, approaching Xiao Yan with a twisted grin.
Xiao Yan: "???"
"I'm the young master of the Xiao family, remember?"
"I'm Xiao Yan; don't you recognize me?" Xiao Huo exclaimed in shock, surprised that even the servants didn't know who he was.
"Where did this stray dog come from, trying to impersonate our young master? Who is Xiao Yan?" several servants mocked as they brandished hefty boards, ready to strike Xiao Yan!
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah! Please don't hit me!"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened in horror as he cried out!
Smack!
With one hard slap, Xiao Yan howled in pain!
He clenched his fists tightly, filled with disbelief!
Why?!
Why is this happening?!
He's the young master of the Xiao family!
Usually, the servants would be cautious around him and listen to his every word,
But today...
They dared to hit him!
How could this be?
Pfft!
Xiao Yan coughed up a bit of blood, feeling a searing pain in his backside that knocked the breath from him, leaving him feeling utterly defeated. The intense agony forced him to scream repeatedly.
