Green-Hatted Freak

Buzz!

Everyone in the Xiao Clan sucked in a breath of cold air.

Th-this... what was going on?

The Three Elders looked extremely grim, especially the First Elder. His face had turned pale with rage, and his hands were trembling, yet he did not dare say another word. The girl before them was the Misty Cloud Sect's favored daughter of heaven!

It was not just the Three Elders. Everyone else stared blankly at Nalan Yanran, their eyes dull as their hearts remained unable to calm down for a long while!

Hadn't Nalan Yanran come to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement?

She was a peerless talent and Yun Yun's disciple, with limitless prospects ahead of her. Such a breathtakingly beautiful girl had personally come to the Xiao Clan. Many had guessed that she was here to annul the engagement and had already prepared to mock Xiao Huo, only to be slapped hard in the face instead.

Ge Ye had even taken out the Qi Gathering Powder just to make Xiao Zhan agree to this marriage!

Shouldn't the man be the one to take the initiative in marriage, bringing gifts and proposing? Yet what the hell was this? Ge Ye was respectful and fawning toward Xiao Zhan, while a beauty like Nalan Yanran was actually worried whether Xiao Huo would be willing to marry her.

How could this be?

Xiao Mei was completely dumbfounded. She stared at Nalan Yanran with vacant eyes filled with shock, utterly unable to believe what was happening before her. "How is that possible? Nalan Yanran actually wants to marry Cousin Xiao Huo of her own accord."

"What is so good about Cousin Xiao Huo? He's just trash. If I were her, I definitely wouldn't marry Xiao Huo!" Xiao Mei said softly, her expression full of disbelief. No matter how hard she thought, she could not understand why Nalan Yanran wanted to marry Xiao Huo.

After all, who would be willing to marry trash?

"Xiao Huo is really damned lucky to land such a beautiful fiancée." Xiao Ning clenched his fists, his eyes carrying a trace of jealousy. Why did Xiao Huo have such good luck with women? Xiao Xun'er was so close to him, and even Nalan Yanran wanted to marry him of her own accord.

How could the gap between people be so vast?

Many people whispered among themselves, all of them utterly shocked.

In their eyes, Xiao Huo was merely trash at Dou Qi level three. Yet now he had won the favor of a goddess. No one could feel comfortable about that. How could the Misty Cloud Sect's favored daughter of heaven possibly take a liking to Xiao Huo?

"Uncle Xiao." Nalan Yanran's eyes reddened as she lowered her head slightly. She had gathered her courage to express her feelings. Though she was the Misty Cloud Sect's genius girl, her heart was entirely focused on Xiao Huo. "Where is Brother Xiao Huo?"

"Could it be that Brother Xiao Huo doesn't like me, which is why he isn't coming to see me..." Nalan Yanran said aggrievedly. Tears glimmered in her beautiful eyes as Xiao Huo's image filled her mind. Did Brother Xiao Huo not like her?

Xiao Zhan was overjoyed.

He looked Nalan Yanran up and down, growing more satisfied the more he looked. Such a beautiful girl—considerate, well-behaved, and wholeheartedly devoted to Xiao Huo. Her background alone was terrifyingly impressive. If Xiao Huo could cultivate at the Misty Cloud Sect, perhaps he might even rise again!

"Uncle Xiao..."

Disappointment still lingered in Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes, and she missed Xiao Huo even more. Her jade-like hands were clasped together as she stood there like a graceful fairy, waiting for Xiao Zhan's answer with unease in her heart.

Brother Xiao Huo, where are you?

Could it be... that you truly don't like Yanran?

But Yanran likes you so much. In this life and the next, I will marry no one but you!

"How could Huo'er not like you? With such a beautiful fiancée, he'd be happy beyond words!" Xiao Zhan hurriedly said. Yet he was somewhat anxious inside. What was Xiao Huo doing? He had already sent someone to inform him, so why had he not come yet?

Could Xiao Huo and Xiao Xun'er be doing something embarrassing in their room?

Xiao Zhan was a little angry as well. This was such an important matter; they could not leave Yanran standing here waiting.

"Where is he?!" Xiao Zhan bellowed, his voice booming. With such an excellent daughter-in-law as Nalan Yanran, Xiao Huo still had not come over. Even he was getting anxious.

"Here!"

"I'm here!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly called out. Wearing a glowing green hat, he charged straight into the main hall and looked Nalan Yanran up and down. When Xiao Zhan called for him, he had reflexively rushed in. He had completely forgotten that he was merely an insignificant bystander.

"Yanran, you've grown so beautiful. How has your cultivation been these past years at the Misty Cloud Sect?" Xiao Yan said with a smile. He subconsciously regarded himself as Xiao Zhan's son, so naturally Nalan Yanran was the one engaged to him.

Now that Nalan Yanran wanted to marry him, Xiao Yan had been so excited at the sight of such a beauty that he lost all reason. Without hesitation, he rushed in and ran to Nalan Yanran's side. Mm! She truly was a top-tier beauty!

I never thought I, Xiao Yan, would have such a beautiful fiancée. I'll be blessed from now on! Xiao Yan secretly laughed, delighted. He was exceptionally enthusiastic toward Nalan Yanran, studying the girl before him. The longer he looked, the more pleasing she became to his eyes.

"Uncle Xiao, who is this green-hatted freak?" Nalan Yanran examined Xiao Yan with her beautiful eyes and quietly took two steps back. For some reason, she found the man before her extremely unpleasant. In the middle of summer, he was actually wearing a green hat?

Anger flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes. This thief was becoming more and more audacious, actually daring to barge straight into the Xiao Clan's main hall. If not for the sake of preserving the Xiao Clan's image, he would have beaten Xiao Yan into a flattened shrimp on the spot!

"Yanran, I'm Xiao Yan. I'm your fiancé." Xiao Yan said with a faint smile, seemingly still unaware of his awkward situation.

"I don't know you."

"Uncle Xiao, even if you don't want me to see Brother Xiao Huo, you can't just find someone at random to deceive me! I can still recognize my own fiancé." Nalan Yanran lightly bit her lip. "I don't even know this green-hatted freak."

Xiao Yan froze in place, feeling a chill run down his back.

Everyone's gazes fell upon him, making Xiao Yan feel like an idiot. Especially after Nalan Yanran called him a green-hatted freak, he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground! His glorious reputation had been reduced to that of a green-hatted freak!

"Hahaha... That bastard Xiao Yan really thinks he's the protagonist? That idiot dog—your brother here is the protagonist of this Battle Through the Heavens world." Xiao Huo laughed from the shadows, not expecting Xiao Yan to jump out on his own initiative.

Xiao Huo's eyes lit up.

At last, it was time for him to make his entrance and show off!

Heh heh...

You bastard, Xiao Yan. You came knocking on my door yourself.

Today, I was going to give you a proper beating...

"Ding ding—"

"Mission triggered: Enter the Xiao Clan's main hall, embarrass Xiao Yan, and slap Xiao Yan's face. Reward: experience points, 100 Prestige Points!" The system's voice rang out.

"System, you're awesome! 100 Prestige Points! That means I'm not far from the Yun Yun Trial Card!" Xiao Huo laughed. Then he adjusted his hair. He had kept Nalan Yanran waiting for so long; she was probably getting anxious.

At last, it was time for my grand entrance!

Xiao Yan, get ready to tremble in the wind!

Xiao Huo decided that although he could not kill Xiao Yan, he could break that bastard's dick. You dared bully Nalan Yanran? Not only was he going to cuck him, but he would also make sure he had no dick left and turned him into a little eunuch!

Xiao Huo smirked inwardly. By leaving Nalan Yanran hanging for a while, he had taken a step back to advance further, making the girl yearn for him even more. With Xiao Yan causing such a scene, his chance had arrived. Tonight would be the moment he completely won Nalan Yanran's heart!
