This Water Is So White!

"Can't I come see you if there's nothing wrong? You little rascal, you've been hiding from me for two months." Xiao Zhan affectionately ruffled Xiao Yan's head with his huge palm and scolded him with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Zhan's warm, mellow smile, Xiao Yan felt somewhat moved. He sniffed, his nose a little sore, but did not know what to say.

"Still blaming yourself over that? Heh heh, if she looks down on my son, that's her loss. What's there to be sad about? You're a grown man, why put on such a girlish display? I know my son, Xiao Zhan's son, is definitely not trash." Xiao Zhan spoke boldly.

"Heh heh, Father, three years from now, Yan'er will personally go to the Misty Cloud Sect." Xiao Yan smiled and said softly.

Xiao Zhan's smile faded slightly. He stared closely at Xiao Yan and said hesitantly, "I don't mind, but are you really planning to go? It's not that I'm saying you're inferior to Nalan Yanran, but the strength of the Misty Cloud Sect..."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and nodded, his thin lips pressing into a somewhat stubborn line. "Father, some things cannot be avoided. If you're a man, you have to bear them."

"Heh heh, that temperament really is a lot like mine. If your two brothers knew you could think this way, they'd probably be very happy too." Xiao Zhan smiled approvingly at Xiao Yan's persistence, sighed softly, then nodded heavily. "Good. I'll wait for the day my son brings honor to me. I want that old bastard Nalan Su to one day bring betrothal gifts and beg me to take back that divorce agreement."

Xiao Yan nodded and chuckled.

"Here, take it. Consider it your father's support." Xiao Zhan took a White Jade Bottle that Xiao Yan was extremely familiar with from his robes and handed it over.

Looking at the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid that had gone around in circles before returning to his hands, Xiao Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Still, he kept a puzzled expression on his face. "Father, this is...?"

"Foundation Building Spirit Liquid. It can speed up the cultivation of Dou Qi. I bought it at auction today." Xiao Zhan grinned.

"It must have cost quite a bit, right?" Xiao Yan accepted the White Jade Bottle, warmth flowing through his heart.

"Forty thousand gold coins. But as long as it's useful to you, it was money well spent." Xiao Zhan smiled indifferently.

The moment those words came out—

Xiao Yan was greatly shocked.

"Father, y-you bought it?"

Xiao Yan's heart ached.

Not only had his own Foundation Building Spirit Liquid failed to sell, his father had even spent forty thousand gold coins to buy it.

This... was a loss all the way to his grandmother's house!

"What's wrong? Can't I buy some Foundation Building Spirit Liquid for my own son?" Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"You spent forty thousand gold coins to buy this Foundation Building Spirit Liquid for me. The Grand Elder and the others will probably use this as an excuse to stir up trouble again." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

"Hmph, I'm the clan leader. At most, they can wag their tongues." Xiao Zhan snorted coldly.

"Father, thank you. At the coming-of-age ceremony a year from now, I'll make all their chattering mouths shut." Xiao Yan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Good. I'll wait for the moment my son transforms once again." Although he did not know where Xiao Yan's confidence came from, Xiao Zhan was delighted by his son's confident appearance and immediately laughed loudly.

"Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer. If anything comes up, come find your father. We're family, so what's there to be embarrassed about?" Xiao Zhan waved his hand, turned, and strode toward the front courtyard.

"Damn it, I still have to deal with those old geezers. It's only forty thousand gold coins, yet every one of them is acting like I spent their life savings." Xiao Zhan's faint muttering curses drifted through the darkness.

Watching Xiao Zhan disappear into the darkness, Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and smiled softly. "Don't worry, Father. I'll use reality to make those people shut up. Three years ago, I could make them look up to me. Three years from now, I still can."

Ning Luo found a place to stay in Wutan City.

He had obtained several Sign-in Opportunities.

He planned to use them all.

"Sign in."

Ding. Congratulations, Host, on successfully signing in. You have obtained the Heavenly Grade Cultivation Method: Soul Seizing Technique!

"Soul Seizing Technique?"

Ning Luo was somewhat surprised.

"What does this Soul Seizing Technique do?" Ning Luo asked directly.

Ding. The Soul Seizing Technique possesses absolute suppressive power against those in a soul state. No matter how powerful the expert, as long as they are in a soul state, they cannot escape the Host's Soul Seizing Technique.

The Soul Seizing Technique can also be used on ordinary people to extract their souls. However, it can only be used on those whose soul power is weaker than the Host's.

Ning Luo was utterly shocked.

This was a perfect technique.

Ning Luo knew who the final big boss of the Dou Qi Continent was.

Soul Hall?

That was right, Soul Hall. What Soul Hall loved using most was soul power.

Now that he had obtained the Soul Seizing Technique, wouldn't that make him Soul Hall's natural enemy? And Xiao Yan—although Xiao Yan had Yao Lao's help, now that he had the Soul Seizing Technique, wouldn't Yao Lao be suppressed by him as well?

This time, even if Xiao Yan let Yao Lao possess him, he could not possibly be Ning Luo's opponent.

Ning Luo was extremely happy. He stretched and walked outside.

Ning Luo arrived in a mountain forest.

He planned to cultivate there for a while.

Ning Luo practiced his Dou Techniques, going through every one of them once.

Although he already had the Sign-in System, he still needed to cultivate if he wanted to grow stronger.

After practicing through them once, Ning Luo was drenched in sweat. At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.

He found a hot spring.

When Ning Luo saw the hot spring, he looked around and saw no one nearby. He took off his clothes and jumped in.

Once he entered the hot spring, the water only reached his waist. It was warm, smooth, and clear, making one forget worldly affairs, leaving nothing in the heart and no self within the heart.

On the right side of the pool were six white enamel beds, with bubbles rolling over them like white jade beds. Lying atop them, one could enjoy a truly tender bubble massage.

Ning Luo completely relaxed.

At that moment, he suddenly heard someone approaching.

Ning Luo was startled and hurriedly hid behind a rock.

Then, Ning Luo saw a graceful figure slowly approaching. She wore a fiery red brocade robe embroidered with coiling dragons, resplendent and flamboyant in rich, vivid colors.

Her fiery red robes fluttered like butterfly wings about to take flight, embroidered all over with brilliant golden patterns. As they drifted among flowers scattered with pale snow, they dazzled everyone's eyes.

On her immortal, jade-like face, the shadows cast by her thick lashes resembled faint ink bleeding across rice paper. Her spiritual eyes were ethereal and brilliant, glistening like water and shining like morning stars.

Her hair flowed down like dark springs, the fluttering strands stirring layers of inky radiance. From her crown adorned with clusters of gold, a curtain of seven-colored glazed beads cascaded down like floating auspicious clouds.

Ning Luo looked at the woman. She was exceptionally beautiful, but the most beautiful part of her was her pair of long legs. Those elegant, full, slender jade legs, her smooth and shapely calves, paired with delicate, supple skin and tender, jade-like flesh, made her truly graceful and slender.

Ding. Goddess Xiao Yu detected. Interact with Xiao Yu to obtain a Sign-in Opportunity.

At that moment, Ning Luo watched Xiao Yu slowly remove her clothes, revealing her graceful figure before his eyes.

Her chest surged and swayed. Especially those long legs—they were enough to make one dizzy.

Ning Luo's mind was now completely filled with legs.

"That rock is so big. This water... is so white!"
