Hun Huan'er's New Book, Please Bookmark

From childhood, they had been the center of attention, watched by thousands. But... at such an important ceremony as bloodline activation—

They could still have been the focus of countless eyes, the outstanding talents of the younger generation. But Hun Xiu's appearance had completely turned them into stepping stones.

Stepping stones to raise Hun Xiu's reputation. This left Hun Feng, Soul Jade, and the others quite dissatisfied.

Though they were all seven- or eight-year-old children and lacked the precocious maturity of a transmigrator like Hun Xiu—

They were still relatively mature for their age. After all, this was the Dou Qi Continent, a world where the strong reigned supreme.

Especially within an Ancient Clan like the Hun Clan, maturity at a young age was perfectly normal.

At this moment, Soul Jade looked toward the corner where Hun Xiu stood and gritted his teeth. "Hun Feng, what should we do? I really can't stand looking at Hun Xiu!"

Hun Feng nodded. "I can't stand him either."

Thinking of something, Hun Feng suggested to Soul Jade, "Why don't you go beat him up and let him see how powerful you are?"

"Mm."

Soul Jade's eyes lit up when he heard Hun Feng's words. "Good idea!"

Then Soul Jade prepared to go trouble Hun Xiu.

Watching Soul Jade's retreating back, Hun Feng muttered inwardly, Idiot. Hun Xiu is a Dou Ling. You want to teach him a lesson? More like he'll teach you one.

After taking only a few steps, Soul Jade remembered something and immediately realized something was wrong. He turned around and returned to Hun Feng's side.

Seeing Soul Jade come back, Hun Feng asked curiously, "Soul Jade, weren't you going to teach Hun Xiu a lesson? Why aren't you going?"

Soul Jade gave a bitter smile. "I just remembered that Hun Xiu became a Dou Ling when he activated his bloodline yesterday."

"I'm only a Dou Master. Going to teach Hun Xiu a lesson? Wouldn't that be delivering myself to him to get beaten up? So I'm not going."

Hearing Soul Jade's words, Hun Feng sneered inwardly. This idiot isn't completely stupid, it seems.

"Look! Hun Huan'er is heading toward Hun Xiu!"

A cry of surprise rang out.

Hun Xiu's arrival had already drawn everyone's attention in the square toward him.

Now that Hun Huan'er was actually walking toward Hun Xiu, it immediately caused an uproar.

Hun Huan'er was one of the younger generation's favored geniuses, having activated a Ninth-grade Bloodline.

Though it was not as dazzling as an Eleventh-grade Bloodline or a Rank 10 Bloodline—

There was no denying that a Ninth-grade Bloodline was still exceptionally outstanding.

After all, most of those present possessed only Seventh- or Eighth-grade Bloodlines.

Some did not even have Seventh- or Eighth-grade Bloodlines, possessing only Fifth- or Sixth-grade Dou Emperor Bloodlines.

Watching Hun Huan'er walk toward Hun Xiu, Soul Jade muttered, "Why is she going to Hun Xiu?"

Under everyone's gaze and amid the commotion, Hun Huan'er arrived before Hun Xiu.

Hun Huan'er sized up Hun Xiu, while Hun Xiu also examined the little girl in pink before him.

The little girl wore a pink dress, and her small face was rosy and tender, like a porcelain doll. Her cheeks were chubby and adorable.

"Who are you?"

Hun Xiu looked curiously at the pink-clad little girl, who appeared to be about his age.

In his memories, he did not know this little cutie.

After all, ever since he was three years old, he had become "lonely," spending every day cultivating.

Even if he had seen this little cutie somewhere before, he had not remembered her.

Hun Huan'er extended her chubby little hand. "Hello. I know you. You're Hun Xiu, one of Clan Head's sons."

"My name is Hun Huan'er."

"Hun Huan'er?"

"Is there something you need?"

Hun Xiu spoke rather coldly.

Over the years, he had grown accustomed to solitude. Deep down, he did not enjoy dealing with people.

Wouldn't it be better to spend the time used to deal with people cultivating diligently?

He only needed to become strong enough.

After all, this was a world where the strong reigned supreme. If he did not work hard to grow stronger, then during the Hun Clan's future great calamity, he could only become cannon fodder.

Or be thrown into the blood pool by Soul Emperor and become nourishment for Soul Emperor's ascension to emperorhood.

Hun Huan'er's outstretched hand froze awkwardly in midair.

Though embarrassed, she still withdrew her little hand.

Hun Huan'er shook her head awkwardly. "It's nothing."

"Oh."

Hun Xiu merely replied indifferently before ignoring Hun Huan'er altogether.

He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and rested as he waited for the Skill Pavilion to open.

"Uh..."

Hun Xiu's reaction completely stunned Hun Huan'er. She had already taken such initiative.

So why?

Why was this guy not buying it?

He looked so arrogant.

"Damn..."

When the surrounding crowd saw Hun Xiu treat Hun Huan'er this way, they could not help thinking of a certain plant.

A green plant.

Who was Hun Huan'er? She was one of the few girls among the younger generation, a "goddess" in their eyes.

Now, their "goddess" had been cast aside by Hun Xiu, leaving them deeply unbalanced.

They usually felt too embarrassed even to say a single word to Hun Huan'er, yet Hun Xiu had somehow made her take the initiative to speak to him.

Taking the initiative was one thing, but that bastard Hun Xiu had actually ignored Hun Huan'er completely. This made them even less able to accept it.

Discussions broke out all around them, and they were all dissatisfied with Hun Xiu's actions. Yet not a single one stepped forward to teach this "arrogant" fellow a lesson.

Because they understood that they were no match for Hun Xiu.

Going up there would not mean teaching Hun Xiu a lesson—it would mean getting taught a lesson by Hun Xiu. They would not go looking to be beaten and humiliate themselves.

Just as everyone was angry but dared not speak—

"Hmph..."

Soul Jade and Hun Feng slowly walked toward Hun Xiu. Both of them looked rather displeased as they stared at the resting Hun Xiu.

Hun Feng spoke first. "Brother Xiu, isn't what you're doing a little inappropriate?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice, Hun Xiu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Hun Feng and Soul Jade before him.

"Hun Feng, if I remember correctly, you were born a day later than I was, weren't you?"

"Isn't calling me Brother Xiu wrong? You should call me Brother Xiu, understand?"

Hun Feng: "..."

At this moment, Hun Feng remembered. Hun Xiu had indeed been born one day earlier than him, while he himself had been born one day after Hun Xiu.

He really should call Hun Xiu "Brother Xiu" rather than "younger brother Xiu."

The reason he had called Hun Xiu "younger brother Xiu" just now was because he instinctively regarded himself as the "big brother."

Now that Hun Xiu had exposed it, Hun Feng immediately felt somewhat awkward.

But so many people were watching right now. Who was Hun Feng? How could he possibly lose face here?

Hun Feng said, "Hun Xiu, you were only born one day earlier than me. You want to be my older brother? Isn't that a little too soon?"

"What? Isn't one day enough?"

"Go ask Father whether being born one day earlier is enough to be your older brother."
