The "Xun'er" in his memories had clearly been a boy, yet the one before him was a standard little girl.
"Yes, has Big Brother finally remembered Xun'er?" Seeing Hun Xiu call her name, Gu Xun'er nodded her little head and spoke with a serious expression.
"Hm?"
Seeing "Xun'er" acknowledge her identity, Hun Xiu's pupils shrank slightly as he cried out, "You really are Xun'er? Why are you wearing women's clothes and dressed like this? Are you some kind of cross-dressing master?"
Even with Hun Xiu's composure from having lived two lives, he could not help getting rather excited.
What was a cross-dressing master? It was someone capable of passing for the real thing.
Take the beauty ahead of you—her back was enchanting and alluring, but the moment she turned around, you would surely cough up three liters of blood and vomit endlessly. That was only one kind.
The other kind was the most terrifying. Her back was enchanting, her front was alluring; she was practically a perfect goddess, enough to make every woman pale in comparison.
Which kind did the "Xun'er" before him belong to?
The latter. This adorable boy had actually dressed up as a girl.
He was so cute, so much like one.
For a moment, Hun Xiu could not even tell the difference.
Gu Xun'er: "..."
Hearing what her "Brother Xiu'er" said, she froze slightly. She was wearing women's clothes? Pretending to be a girl?
Coming back to her senses, she said in a crisp voice, "Brother Xiu'er, you're so mean. I was already a girl."
"What?"
"You're a girl?"
Hun Xiu did not believe it. He walked up to Gu Xun'er, picked her up, and prepared to inspect her himself.
He did not believe that his "Xun'er" was actually a girl. He refused to believe it.
"Cough..." ×2 Seeing that Hun Xiu was about to pull down her pants, how could Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan continue watching? If they did...
Soul Emperor would utterly lose face today. What sort of son had he raised? A lecherous beast? Gu Yuan could not sit still either. If this little brat truly succeeded, he, Gu Yuan, would cough up blood.
The two coughed in unison, then exchanged a rather tacit glance. How many years had it been?
Such tacit understanding—having confirmed it with their eyes, they knew they had found the right person.
Hearing the coughing, Hun Xiu snapped out of his excitement and finally realized that they were in the Hun Clan's main hall.
Besides the two little ones, there were also two peak experts of the continent in the hall.
For him to act so recklessly like this was simply showing no regard for either of them. There was no one in the entire continent who dared disregard them.
Yet today, Hun Xiu had actually managed it. Of course, despite accomplishing such a feat, he was not happy in the slightest.
Right now, he was panicking like hell.
Gulp!
After swallowing, he slowly set "Gu Xun" down, then lowered his head.
He slowly walked back to the center of the hall. He did not dare raise his head, because he could imagine that his father and future father-in-law were certainly staring at him with ugly expressions.
He could feel an invisible pressure bearing down on him. Whose pressure was it?
His father's?
His future father-in-law's?
Or both? He did not dare think about it, nor did he dare look up. His palms were drenched in sweat, and sweat covered his back and forehead as well.
At that moment, he felt death approaching. It was as though his life had slipped out of his control.
If not for his pride, he would have already fallen to his knees.
Gu Xun'er sat on her little stool, her big eyes full of confusion as she curiously watched Hun Xiu, who had lowered his head.
What's wrong with Brother Xiu'er?
After all, this was his territory. If his own son had done something wrong and he, as the father, remained unmoved...
If word got out that his son was a "lecherous beast," Soul Emperor's lifelong reputation would be utterly ruined.
Soul Emperor rebuked him in a deep voice, "Hun Xiu, do you know your mistake?"
"Reporting to Father, your child knows his mistake." Hun Xiu lowered his head, while the sweat on his back, palms, and forehead grew even heavier.
He could already sense the terrifying pressure coming from his father. Of course, Soul Emperor had restrained it greatly. Otherwise, with Hun Xiu's mere Dou Emperor strength, as insignificant as an ant, if his father unleashed his Dou Saint pressure, it would be enough to make him bleed from all seven orifices and turn into a cold corpse.
The fact that he was still alive showed just how much of his pressure his father had restrained.
Moreover, his father had called him by his full name. That alone was enough to show that what he had done just now had made his father especially angry.
Thinking about it, it made sense. It was one thing to disregard the two strongest experts on the continent, but he had even prepared to commit a crime without regard for the setting—especially when the girl's father was right there.
How arrogantly lawless did one have to be? Seeing that Hun Xiu still stood perfectly straight despite his rebuke and had not knelt, Soul Emperor was immensely satisfied.
With a son like this, the Hun Clan would surely prosper.
Soul Emperor's expression remained grim as he said in a deep voice, "It is good that you know your mistake."
"Hun Xiu, do you know who that little girl is?"
"Your child does not."
Hun Xiu lowered his head and answered weakly.
Of course he knew who that little brat was. Wasn't she Gu Yuan's son, Gu Xun? A cross-dressing master.
Naturally, he would not say that.
Because he understood that his father was giving him a way out. He only needed to cooperate.
Bang!
"You don't know?"
Hearing Hun Xiu's words, Soul Emperor angrily slapped the armrest of his chair and rose to his feet, speaking in a deep voice.
A terrifying pressure bore down on Hun Xiu, while the chair Soul Emperor had struck turned to powder.
Bang! Under that pressure, Hun Xiu had no strength to resist at all. In an instant, he was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
In the end, he slammed heavily onto the ground.
Pfft...
Hun Xiu only felt sweetness rise in his throat, as though something was about to come out. In the end, he could no longer endure it and spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.
It instantly stained the floor red, and his face turned pale. He lay sprawled on the ground.
Under Soul Emperor's pressure, he struggled to get up, but he could not rise at all.
He raised his head and glanced at the "furious" Soul Emperor. A trace of unwillingness flashed through his eyes before he lowered his head again.
Gu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly. For some reason, seeing Hun Xiu in such a miserable state made his heart soften.
He felt that Soul Emperor had gone a little too far. Although Soul Emperor might have acted this way for his sake...
He was not moved in the slightest. He only felt that it was excessive.
Seeing her "Brother Ma," no... Brother Xiu'er, vomit blood, the previously bewildered Gu Xun'er's little face immediately turned pale.
