Super-Rich Loli!

Xiao Ze chatted with Xiao Yan for a while before finally speaking.

"I have plans with Xun'er, Third Brother. Forgive me for not keeping you company."

Xiao Yan nodded knowingly, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

His fourth brother was practically a winner in life, making him deeply envious.

Not only was his talent astonishing, but he also had a lovely girl by his side.

"Go on. Get ready properly. I hope you two have a pleasant date."

Xiao Yan offered his heartfelt blessing. After all, this was his own younger brother.

Since Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er had trained together this time, their relationship had progressed quickly.

Even though Xiao Yan had wanted to test the effects of Dou Qi, he had not set his sights on Xiao Xun'er.

After all, he was not nearly as close to Xiao Xun'er as Xiao Ze was. If he rashly barged into her room, he might very well get beaten out!

Later on.

Since he truly could not find anyone to experiment on, Xiao Yan's idea of testing Dou Qi came to nothing.

He threw himself wholeheartedly into cultivation until his Dou Qi disappeared.

"Oh, right, Third Brother!"

After walking a few steps, Xiao Ze suddenly turned around and called out to Xiao Yan.

"What is it? Is there something else you need Third Brother's help with?"

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Ze's face as he spoke with sincere eyes.

"I have always believed that Third Brother is a dragon among men. You will definitely overcome this small setback before you, transform into a True Dragon, and soar across the Dou Qi Continent!"

Xiao Yan froze when he heard those words.

No one had ever believed in him the way Xiao Ze did!

Believed in his potential, believed in his future!

Not even Xiao Zhan had placed such astonishing faith in him.

"Third Brother! Don't give up. A temporary slump does not mean your future will remain dark forever!"

After saying that, Xiao Ze did not say anything more. He simply waved to him and quickly departed.

Xiao Yan stood where he was, pursing his lips as though sand had gotten into his eyes.

Before he knew it, they had become moist.

Every day and every night over the past year, he had cultivated bitterly alone in his room!

Yet his Dou Qi had continued vanishing beyond his control.

It was not until the Assessment Assembly that it had been completely exposed before everyone.

And what greeted Xiao Yan was nothing but mockery, sarcasm, and cold stares.

Those who had once closely followed behind him had silently begun to distance themselves from him.

His father still treated him as he always had and continued trying to find a way to cure him.

But Xiao Yan could sense that Xiao Zhan no longer held much hope for him.

It was as though Xiao Zhan was clutching desperately to the last straw that could save him.

Hoping to discover the reason behind Xiao Yan's disappearing Dou Qi.

Yet his fourth brother—the family's most celebrated genius, currently at the height of his glory—had shown him unparalleled trust!

How could Xiao Yan not be moved?

"That's right. The predicament before me is merely a small wave on the road of my life. How can I stop moving forward here?"

Xiao Yan silently wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, took a deep breath, and hurried back to his room!

Cultivate!

I have to cultivate!

Xiao Ze quickly returned to his room and bathed before changing his clothes.

He put on his handsomest outfit and combed his hair into the style of an adult.

Looking at the handsome youth in the bronze mirror, a broad smile spread across Xiao Ze's face.

Xiao Ze found a black card by his bedside. It was an ordinary Gold Storage Card, capable of holding at most five thousand Gold Coins.

Cards above that tier required not only wealth, but even strength!

"Though I said that girl would treat me, I can't really make her pay."

This black card had been given to Xiao Ze by the elder in charge when he went to collect his stipend.

His monthly stipend had surged to one hundred Gold Coins!

At the same time, he could submit requests to the Xiao Family for any cultivation resources he needed.

And this black card currently held two thousand Gold Coins!

According to the elder in charge, this was compensation for the stipends Xiao Ze had failed to collect before.

"I'm more or less ready. Time to wait for Xun'er at the main gate!"

Xiao Ze went out and checked the time. It had only taken about half an hour, so there was still time!

In Xiao Xun'er's room, a large pile of clothes had been laid out across the bed.

Wearing a nightgown, Xiao Xun'er kept picking up clothes from the bed and holding them against herself.

"Elder Ling, what do you think of this one? What about this one?"

Ling Ying, hidden in the shadows, looked at how carefully his young lady was dressing up and felt deeply conflicted.

"Young Lady, you were born beautiful. You look good in anything!"

"But I want to choose the prettiest one!"

Xiao Xun'er set down the two outfits in her hands, picked up another, and said earnestly.

"Today is the first time Brother Xiao Ze and I are going out on a date. Though we're having a meal in the name of celebrating..."

"I still have to show him my best side!"

Ling Ying looked helplessly at his young lady's indecision when he suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Young Lady, you and Young Master Xiao Ze are inseparable and see each other nearly every day. He must already be used to all your clothes."

Xiao Xun'er froze. That did seem to be the case!

Ling Ying struck while the iron was hot. "Why not wear something you've never worn before, Young Lady? Perhaps it will make Young Master Xiao Ze's eyes light up!"

"That makes sense! Thank you, Elder Ling!"

Xiao Ze stood at the entrance and waited. While he did, he examined the results of his recent cultivation.

A few days ago, he had just become a Nine Star Dou Practitioner. Now, his cultivation had stabilized, and he had taken a considerable step forward.

The original story had mentioned that at the initial ten stages of Dou Qi, advancing a single stage in a year was already considered very fast.

Unlike the turtle-slow cultivation speed during the Dou Qi stage.

Once one truly became a Dou Zhe, cultivation speed increased dramatically. It was possible to surge through several stars in a single year!

On top of that, the Dou Zhi Qi Cyclone the system had created for Xiao Ze was completely unlike those of others, making his cultivation progress even faster.

Before long, he would reach the peak of the Nine Star Dou Practitioner stage...

I'll use the Tenfold Return from Xun'er reaching One Star Dou Practitioner to help me break through to Dou Master!

Xiao Ze was thinking to himself when a voice suddenly sounded.

"Brother Xiao Ze! What are you thinking about so intently?"

Xiao Xun'er's voice came from beside him. Xiao Ze turned around as he spoke.

"Of course, I was wondering whether my little Xun'er would really make me wait a full hour before meeting up with me."

When he saw Xiao Xun'er, a trace of amazement appeared in Xiao Ze's eyes.

Her long hair cascaded down to her hips, adorned with a golden hairpin from which several strands of red thread hung.

She wore a pale green inner garment beneath a white dress, with red patterns embellishing the cuffs and collar.

She looked as though she had stepped out of a painting.

Combined with Xiao Xun'er's temperament, like a green lotus untouched by the world, she seemed all the more like a celestial maiden descended to earth.

Xiao Xun'er clearly caught the admiration and surprise that flashed through Xiao Ze's eyes, and her heart became as sweet as honey.

"Brother Xiao Ze, do I look good?"

As she spoke, Xiao Xun'er spread her arms and spun around on the spot, letting Xiao Ze take a proper look.

"Beautiful. This outfit is beautiful! But little Xun'er herself is even more beautiful!"

Xiao Ze could not help nodding in praise.

A delighted smile also blossomed on Xiao Xun'er's face. All that time spent choosing an outfit and carefully dressing up had not been in vain.

"Then let's go, Brother Xiao Ze. Eat as much as you want!"

"You silly girl, aren't you afraid I'll eat you broke?"

"Hehe~ Brother Xiao Ze, just give it a try and see whether you can eat Xun'er broke~"

A proud expression appeared on Xiao Xun'er's face as she raised her little chin, like an adorable kitten.

Of course, Xiao Ze knew exactly how unimaginably wealthy Xiao Xun'er was!

Even if a thousand versions of himself ate until they burst, it would probably be no more than a drop in the bucket to Xun'er!
