Xiao Mei Submits, Xun'er Arrives!

Half an hour later.

"Brother Xiao Cang, is it enough?"

With a seductive flush on her pretty face, Xiao Mei asked in a gentle voice.

The fear in her eyes had not only vanished, but had even been replaced by a captivating allure.

Though Xiao Mei's performance had been barely satisfactory, Xiao Cang could tell that she had already done her best.

Xiao Mei gazed at Xiao Cang with languid, affectionate eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she lightly bit her thin lip and said, "If Brother Xiao Cang likes it, Mei'er can follow you. Then Mei'er can serve you every day."

The reason she had worked so hard just now was because she still harbored the hope that, if she satisfied Xiao Cang, she might have a chance to follow him.

"There's no need."

Xiao Cang decisively shook his head in refusal.

Xiao Mei's gaze dimmed, but she had not given up. "Then can Brother Xiao Cang give Mei'er a Qi Gathering Powder? Sister Xun'er and the Three Elders all have one, but Mei'er doesn't..."

"Qi Gathering Powder? I do indeed have quite a few."

Xiao Cang spread open his palm. With a thought, several round, deep-green medicinal pills fell from his Storage Ring into his hand.

A rich Pill Fragrance immediately spread through the room.

Qi Gathering Powder!

Xiao Mei's eyes immediately burned with desire.

She was currently at the seventh stage of Dou Qi. In roughly another half year, she would reach the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi, at which point she would need to attempt a breakthrough into the Fighter realm.

But she was not completely confident that she could successfully condense a Qi Vortex.

With a Qi Gathering Powder, however, things would be entirely different.

Not only could it help her advance smoothly into a Fighter, it could also allow her to stabilize her realm at One-star Fighter more quickly.

"But this is a Fourth-grade Pill. If you want one, you must pay the corresponding price." Xiao Cang closed his hand and put the pills away.

"What price?"

"It's simple. Before I leave the Xiao Family, come to me every day and perform flute-playing for me. On the day I leave, I'll give you a Qi Gathering Powder."

A faint curve tugged at Xiao Cang's lips. He reached out and rubbed Xiao Mei's soft hair, as though petting an obedient kitten.

A complicated look flashed through Xiao Mei's eyes for an instant.

But when she thought that serving Xiao Cang every day would not only earn her a Qi Gathering Powder, but also give her more chances to persuade him to take her away from the Xiao Family to the Misty Cloud Sect, her eyes grew fervent. She nodded heavily.

"Alright. Mei'er will come serve Brother Xiao Cang every day."

Not long after Xiao Mei left, there came a knock at the door.

"Brother Xiao Cang."

A voice as gentle as a blue lotus in a tranquil pool rang out, and Xiao Cang's eyes lit up.

"Xun'er is here."

He rose happily and opened the door for Xun'er.

The lovely and beautiful Xun'er stood at the doorway. The moment she saw Xiao Cang, a smile blossomed across her face, and her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, making her look utterly enchanting.

"Brother Xiao Cang."

Xun'er called out joyfully and threw her soft, delicate body into Xiao Cang's embrace.

A fragrant breeze immediately washed over him.

Xun'er's jade-like arms tightly wrapped around Xiao Cang from behind. Her pretty face pressed against his chest as she rubbed against him.

After not seeing him for a day, she had missed him dearly.

Xiao Cang naturally wrapped his arms around Xun'er's slender body as well, his hand brushing over her fragrant back and lightly stroking her silky hair.

"Xun'er, why are you here?" Xiao Cang asked softly.

"Hmph. Brother Xiao Cang didn't come see me all day, so of course I had to come find you."

Xun'er puffed out her cheeks. Her pure, adorable appearance was so moving that Xiao Cang felt his heart melt at the sight.

"Silly girl, I was afraid Ling Ying would notice something."

Xiao Cang smiled gently and lightly tucked aside a strand of hair before Xun'er's forehead, admiring her flawless face.

From this angle, Xun'er's curled lashes fluttered gently, her bright eyes were full of life, her delicate nose was high and straight, and her skin was snow-white. He could also see her exquisite pale collarbones and a glimpse of deep, mesmerizing softness, stirring all manner of thoughts.

"Brother Xiao Cang, I already know about how you went to break off Xiao Yan's engagement on Nalan Yanran's behalf today."

Xun'er raised her head and fixed her beautiful eyes on Xiao Cang. Her pretty face had unexpectedly turned somewhat serious.

At her words, the smile on Xiao Cang's face faded, and anger rose in his heart.

He had already instructed everyone in the Xiao Family today that no one was to discuss the broken engagement again. There was even less chance that Xun'er should learn that he intended to marry Nalan Yanran.

Someone actually dared to disobey him? Were they courting death?!

"Xun'er, listen to me..."

Xiao Cang had just wanted to explain when Xun'er cut him off.

"Brother Xiao Cang, I think you did the right thing."

"A girl's happiness should be in her own hands. How could she sacrifice her lifelong happiness because of her elders' wishes?"

Xun'er looked at Xiao Cang with wholehearted approval, her beautiful eyes shining with admiration.

???

Xiao Cang froze for a moment, then quickly understood.

From the look of it, Xun'er only knew that he had helped Nalan Yanran break off the engagement. She did not know that he was about to become Nalan Yanran's new fiancé.

That was good. Very good.

Xiao Cang let out a sigh of relief.

He had not yet figured out how to explain things if Xun'er found out.

Otherwise, if Xun'er became sad and cried, his heart would ache for her.

"It's wonderful that you think that way, Xun'er. Let's go inside and talk."

Xiao Cang took Xun'er's hand and led her into the room.

Inside the room.

The two sat beside the table. Xiao Cang poured a cup of water, then took out a pill from his Storage Ring and soaked it in the water.

The clear water immediately turned the color of green leaves, and a faint, refreshing fragrance drifted from it.

"Xun'er, try this Tea Pill I refined. Not only does it nourish the body and greatly benefit cultivation, but it also tastes excellent. It's a rare and fine tea pill," Xiao Cang said.

Xun'er lifted the cup and took a light sniff near the tip of her nose. Then she took a small sip, surprise appearing on her face.

"It's really delicious. It has such a refreshing fragrance. The pills Brother Xiao Cang refines are always amazing." Xun'er praised him endlessly, her eyes sparkling brightly.

"As long as you like it," Xiao Cang said with a smile.

After finishing the tea, Xun'er quietly shifted closer to Xiao Cang. Her hands rested on her jade-like thighs, her eyes soft and wavering as she said shyly, "Brother Xiao Cang, Xun'er doesn't want to sleep alone..."

Xun'er's voice was shy and sweet, sending a tingling numbness through Xiao Cang's heart.

Seeing the dependence in Xun'er's eyes, Xiao Cang could not bear to leave her alone in an empty room either.

However, Ling Ying was still nearby the Xiao Family, protecting Xun'er. If he noticed this, things would become difficult.

"Brother Xiao Cang, do you have any way to send Uncle Ying away again?"

Xun'er pressed her pretty face against Xiao Cang's shoulder, naturally wrapping both hands around his arm as she spoke softly.

"Send Ling Ying away?"

A thought flashed through Xiao Cang's mind, and he actually came up with a solution.

"I have an idea!"

"What is it?"

Joy immediately welled up in Xun'er's eyes.

"Xun'er, look at this."

With a thought, Xiao Cang took something out of his Storage Ring.
