The Aggrieved Party Came Calling

After checking the results of his recent hard work, Li Ang happily closed his system, intending to relax and enjoy himself.

So he clapped his hands and said, "All right, you may come in now."

As Li Ang's voice fell, the maids waiting outside quickly pushed open the door and entered the room.

The moment the maids saw the tall and handsome Li Ang inside, they all froze, their faces filled with disbelief.

To the maids, Li Ang's transformation was simply too drastic. The person in the room had clearly been a decrepit old man before, so how had he turned into a young handsome man in such a short time?

If Li Ang's face and voice had not remained unchanged aside from becoming younger, the maids would probably have suspected that he had been replaced.

Even so, the maids still could not quite process it.

In the end, the leading girl could not help asking, "My lord, is... is that really you?"

"Of course it is." Li Ang nodded. Seeing the maids looking as though they had seen a ghost, he could only add, "This old one has merely made progress in cultivation recently and become a little younger. There is no need to make such a fuss!"

The maids: (´・ω・`)

Li Ang made it sound casual, but the maids could not calm themselves so quickly. Though they served the Xiao Clan, they were ordinary people with no cultivation talent. They had truly never heard that Soul Master cultivation could have such miraculous effects.

Seeing that the girls remained unable to settle down, the gallant Li Ang could only take their hands and comfort them one by one.

Somehow, as he comforted them, they ended up on the bed.

Very soon, the door slammed shut.

Then Li Ang and the girls began playing poker.

Li Ang had never been a particularly picky person. His standards for the opposite sex were simple: as long as they looked good, that was enough.

Lolis, mature beauties, older women, married women... as long as they were pretty, he could accept any type. He never discriminated between fat and thin.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that his two kidneys had been so severely overdrawn. Even possessing the cultivation of a Titled Douluo had been useless.

Now that he had finally regained his youth and vigor through the Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill, Li Ang naturally intended to enjoy himself properly.

The Xiao Clan had also put considerable thought into currying favor with Li Ang, a Titled Douluo.

For example, the maids responsible for Li Ang's daily needs were all ordinary humans without cultivation talent, but their looks were generally quite good, with most scoring above eight out of ten.

Moreover, Li Ang himself was not particular about such things. Now that his two kidneys had recovered, he did not hold back, pulling the girls along to play poker.

Unfortunately, this game of poker was not particularly satisfying.

Before Li Ang could enjoy himself fully, an uninvited guest arrived.

Had it been someone else, Li Ang might not have bothered with them. But the visitor was no ordinary person; he was the owner of this mansion, the City Lord of Notting City, Xiao Yan.

He was eating their food, using their things, and even playing with their girls. Li Ang felt somewhat embarrassed about shutting him out.

Thus, upon hearing that Xiao Yan had come seeking an audience, Li Ang could only pause his entertainment and go meet the city lord.

"Senior Li, this junior's unannounced visit truly is..." Xiao Yan had worn an anxious expression, but when he clearly saw Li Ang's current appearance, he abruptly froze. Staring wide-eyed, he stammered, "You... who are you?"

"City Lord Xiao must be confused. How can you not even recognize this old one?" Li Ang was not surprised by Xiao Yan's reaction. After all, the changes to his appearance had indeed been considerable.

"Y-you are Senior Li?" Xiao Yan still looked utterly incredulous. He remembered what Li Ang had originally looked like, and he had even heard of Li Ang's title as the Black Beast Douluo. He knew that this was a very senior Titled Douluo, rumored to be over a hundred years old.

But what was this supposed to be? Why had that old man suddenly become so much younger?

Even a Titled Douluo could not be this absurd, could he?

"That is correct. It is this old one." Li Ang had no intention of explaining anything. He merely nodded and said, "May I ask what business City Lord Xiao has with this old one?"

Although Xiao Yan was extremely curious about the changes in Li Ang, seeing that Li Ang had no intention of offering further explanation, he did not dare ask more.

In Douluo Dalu, whether in strength or status, Li Ang could crush him.

Therefore, Xiao Yan suppressed his curiosity and said, "Senior Li, this junior had no choice but to come unannounced this time."

"This junior's grandson has suffered grave injuries, and his life is hanging by a thread. I beg you, Senior, to save him!"

Xiao Yan had truly had no other option in coming to Li Ang. It could even be said that desperation had driven him to seek help blindly.

After his grandson, Xiao Chenyu, used the Demonic Dismemberment Technique and severely injured Tang San, he himself had nearly died on the spot.

However, Xiao Chenyu was the city lord's grandson and a direct descendant of the Xiao Clan.

Therefore, after the teachers of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy discovered that Xiao Chenyu was gravely injured and near death, they immediately administered emergency treatment. The academy's headmaster and several powerful teachers joined forces, barely managing to preserve Xiao Chenyu's life for the time being.

Later, Xiao Yan, the City Lord of Notting City, personally stepped in and invited a Five Ring Soul King-level Healing Soul Master from the city to treat him.

However, the side effects of the Demonic Dismemberment Technique were simply too severe. Even with that Healing Soul King personally treating him, Xiao Chenyu could not be fully cured.

According to that Healing Soul King, the best possible outcome was preserving Xiao Chenyu's life. But even if he survived, he would be crippled, and for the rest of his life, he would practically be inseparable from a wheelchair.

The problem was that Xiao Yan had only this one grandson. He had been counting on Xiao Chenyu to inherit the Xiao Clan in the future. How could he possibly accept his grandson becoming crippled?

So he could only find another way.

With no other options left, Xiao Yan sought out Li Ang, hoping that this Titled Douluo would be willing to help.

In truth, Xiao Yan was not expecting Li Ang to cure Xiao Chenyu. Li Ang was indeed a Titled Douluo, but he was neither a Healing Soul Master nor a Support Soul Master. He had no healing abilities whatsoever.

Xiao Yan's intention was to use Li Ang's connections as a Titled Douluo to contact some powerful Support Soul Masters and have them treat his grandson Xiao Chenyu's injuries.
