Xun'er Is My Girlfriend

"Huo'er."

"Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid can speed up the cultivation of Dou Qi. I bought it at the auction today. Cultivate well; Father won't disturb you any longer." Xiao Zhan grinned as he took a white jade bottle from his robes and handed it to Xiao Huo.

"Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?"

There was still some surprise in Xiao Huo's eyes. Xiao Yan had moved quite quickly.

It seemed...

Xiao Yan's resentment ran deep.

Xiao Huo smiled faintly. Back then, Nalan Yanran's mere annulment of the engagement had dealt Xiao Yan a devastating blow. Now, Xiao Huo had humiliated Xiao Yan in front of everyone and had even taken his Xun'er.

Xiao Yan must have been feeling wonderfully miserable inside, right? That was why he was so eager to increase his strength. Xiao Huo sneered and tightened his grip around the white jade bottle in his hand.

Xiao Yan, so what if you have Old Yao helping you?

With me around, you'll never rise again in this lifetime!

If I can crush you once, I can crush you ten times, a hundred times!

"Brother Xiao Huo."

"Are you going to marry Nalan Yanran?" Xun'er looked at Xiao Huo with her beautiful eyes, her delicate hands clasped together. She seemed somewhat dejected as she walked behind him and stood gracefully before the young man.

Today, Xun'er wore a fitting pale green outfit. The light color made the girl seem even more pure. Her slim trousers wrapped tightly around her slender, long legs, highlighting their smooth curves.

Long legs, a perky butt, and a modestly developing chest—Xun'er now resembled a young girl from Earth, brimming with vitality and an alluring youthful aura as she stood gracefully before Xiao Huo.

"My Xun'er is so beautiful." Xiao Huo smiled and took the girl's delicate hand. "No one can replace your place in my heart. For the rest of my life, you will be Xiao Huo's woman."

"Oh..."

"Hmph... Brother Xiao Huo can't abandon Xun'er just because he has other women." Xun'er's eyes curved into shallow crescents as she let out a playful, charming laugh. Her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head slightly.

"How could I?" Xiao Huo smiled, holding Xun'er's delicate hand. "It's been three years, and I've never taken you out to have fun. Come with me to the market today."

"Really?"

Xun'er's beautiful eyes sparkled. Her delicate hand wrapped around Xiao Huo's arm of its own accord. This feeling was so reassuring... She had never expected Brother Xiao Huo to change so much, or that he would even think to take her out for fun...

"Mm."

Xiao Huo felt something soft against his side. Xun'er's soft, fragrant body pressed against him as she held his arm, and sensing the envious looks from the people around them, Xiao Huo could not help feeling a little smug.

The protagonist's treatment really was different!

That bastard Xiao Yan... his hands were quite quick. He had actually managed to make Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and put it up for auction at the Auction Hall.

A cold glint flashed through Xiao Huo's eyes. He had to act quickly. He absolutely could not let Xiao Yan win Ya Fei over first!

Heh heh...

On the Dou Qi Continent, I'm the real protagonist. Every beauty will end up in my arms!

As for Xiao Yan... heh heh, just watch how I kill you!

Ding—

"The main quest has begun. Quest One: Humiliate Galeo. Reward: 6,000 experience points and 20 Prestige Points."

"Quest Two: Gain Ya Fei's favor. Reward: experience points and 40 Prestige Points."

"Quest Three: Have Xiao Yan beaten at the Temir Auction House. Reward: 8,000 experience points and 40 Prestige Points." The System's voice rang out. "In addition, This System also recommends treatments for impotence and premature ejaculation..."

"Get lost, get lost, get lost..."

"Stay put and watch how I show off." Xiao Huo said. This System was getting more and more cheeky. Did it think a mere system could possibly estimate his size and endurance?

Wutan City.

Xiao Huo strolled along with a calm expression, while Xun'er held onto his arm at his side. Every now and then, Xiao Huo deliberately pretended to brush against her chest, making Xun'er's face flush as she hurriedly lowered her head.

"Hmph... Brother Xiao Huo is such a lecher." Xun'er stuck out her tongue and followed beside Xiao Huo. The girl's light, melodic laughter brought a touch of coolness to the scorching street under the blazing sun.

"I didn't do it on purpose..." Xiao Huo repeatedly pretended to apologize, looking utterly innocent. He also told jokes from time to time, making the girl in his arms laugh.

Along the way, Xiao Huo discovered that all the Purple Leaf Orchid Grass and Bone Washing Flowers had been sold out. It seemed that bastard Xiao Yan really had moved quickly.

But...

Xiao Huo sneered inwardly. If he monopolized the wood-element magic cores directly, he wanted to see how that idiot Xiao Yan would get Old Yao to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

"Eh, isn't this Miss Xun'er? Hehe, I never expected to run into you here. What a coincidence."

Xun'er's slender brows furrowed slightly as she saw a group of people approaching. At the center of the crowd, surrounded like stars around the moon, was a richly dressed young man.

Watching the handsome young man's delighted expression, Miss Xun'er's slender brows furrowed slightly. Ignoring his call, she turned and walked away.

"Miss Xun'er!"

Seeing Xun'er turn away, the handsome young man's pale face immediately grew anxious. He quickened his pace and finally stepped sideways to block her path.

Blocked by the young man, Xun'er had no choice but to stop. Her long, limpid eyes narrowed lazily as she looked at him indifferently, saying nothing.

"Miss Xun'er..." Stared at by the girl's clear, watery eyes, the young man—who had spent years mingling among beautiful women—actually found his breathing growing hurried. His usual glib tongue seemed to have failed him at this moment.

Xun'er was just about to speak, when, at that moment, Galeo suddenly let out a scream. His body flew backward through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"You were looking for my Xun'er. What is it?" Xiao Huo's calm voice sounded out. He shielded Xun'er behind him. After waiting so long for a chance to show off, he had finally caught Galeo.

"Xiao Huo?!"

Galeo got to his feet, his face burning with pain as he glared furiously at Xiao Huo. A trash Dou Qi level three actually dared to slap him in the face?

Slap!

Galeo had only just stood up

when his body spun one hundred and eighty degrees through the air, and he was slapped back onto the ground again.

"Is my name something you're allowed to call?" Xiao Huo stepped forward, his gaze cold.

"Xiao... Young Master Xiao."

Galeo's face was filled with anger, yet he did not dare act on it, because

Xiao Huo's fiancée was Nalan Yanran!

He did not dare offend the Misty Cloud Sect!

"That's more like it." Xiao Huo said. At the same time, the system's notifications rang out in succession: "Congratulations to the host for successfully showing off. Reward: 2 Prestige Points..."

"Young Master Xiao!"

"I only exchanged a few words with Miss Xun'er. Why did you hit me?" Galeo demanded. He was, after all, a young master from a prominent family. Getting beaten by Xiao Huo again and again—was he supposed to have no pride left?

"Xun'er is my girlfriend."

"Do you understand?"

Xiao Huo spoke calmly, his eyes equally calm.

Since when had Galeo been allowed to flirt with his Xun'er?
