Follow Me, and You'll Have Meat to Eat

Buzz!

Jia Lie Bi felt his mind go blank. His lips turned purple, and his whole body trembled as endless fear flooded him! The Xiao Huo before him was Nalan Yanran of the Misty Cloud Sect's fiancé!

What would happen if he offended Xiao Huo?

With a single word from Xiao Huo, the Jia Lie Family could be plunged into irreversible ruin!

"Master Xiao!"

"We, the Jia Lie Family, guarantee that we will complete the task you gave us! How could the Jia Lie Family possibly care about such a small sum of money?" The shrewd Jia Lie Bi hurriedly put on a fawning smile and repeatedly cupped his hands before Xiao Huo.

"Mm." Xiao Huo nodded slightly. He casually took out a jade vial and placed it in Jia Lie Bi's hand. "There is a Qi Gathering Powder inside. Remember, carry out my orders as soon as possible. Do not delay."

"Qi Gathering Powder?"

Jia Lie Bi's eyes widened abruptly as he sucked in a cold breath. His blazing gaze locked onto the jade vial in his hand. This was a Qi Gathering Powder—a genuine medicinal pill! It was worth a fortune!

"Refined by Lord Gu He?" Jia Lie Bi's breathing grew heavy. Qi Gathering Powder... could not be measured in gold coins. Such a priceless treasure, scarce even on the market, was the work of a sixth-grade Alchemist!

Its value... was truly immeasurable!

"Mm."

"I will not have your family work for nothing either. Remember, follow me from now on, and you'll have meat to eat... If you defy me, you understand the consequences." Xiao Huo spoke indifferently as he rose to his feet.

"Understood! Master Xiao is destined for boundless prospects! The Jia Lie Family will go through fire and water for Master Xiao without hesitation!" Jia Lie Bi revealed a faint smile. If his family could attach themselves to Xiao Huo, then at the very least, they would still be able to maintain a foothold in Wutan City!

Therefore, Jia Lie Bi had to win over Xiao Huo at all costs! Besides... Xiao Huo had now given him a Qi Gathering Powder, which delighted him beyond measure! A young man like Xiao Huo possessed a truly terrifying temperament!

Jia Lie Bi still felt somewhat horrified inside.

Xiao Huo... was truly an incomparably terrifying figure!

Though he was cunning and had spent decades navigating the world, he felt like a child before Xiao Huo. Every trick was useless. He could only follow Xiao Huo's lead, not daring to say another word, while feeling both uneasy and afraid.

How could a youth at Dou Qi level three give him such overwhelming pressure? Jia Lie Bi shook his head, unable to understand it at all. Nor did he know what Xiao Huo wanted to stockpile wood-element magical cores for.

He did not understand the world of big shots.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully showing off. You have been rewarded with 30 Prestige Points. Please keep up the good work! Task reminder: the Host must obtain Ya Fei's favor today, or Miss System will be very angry." The system spoke.

"My three days of Dou Emperor strength have run out too. It's time to level up properly." Xiao Huo sighed, feeling as though he had returned to square one overnight. It seemed necessary to draw the lottery again. Maybe he could even get a beginner Gift Pack!

"System, I want to draw the lottery!"

"Ding—"

"The Host has successfully drawn the lottery! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Gold Stealing Card. It can silently steal gold coins from other people." The system's voice rang out, while Xiao Huo wore an utterly lifeless expression...

"System, come here. I promise I won't beat you to death!"

"What the hell is a Gold Stealing Card even good for?!" Xiao Huo was furious. He had originally planned to draw some God-tier Cultivation Method, the kind that was incredibly cool and badass, so that he could show off even better.

"Wuwuwu, the Host is too short, so you can't draw anything good." The system's aggrieved voice came through.

Xiao Huo was helpless...

This system was even acting cute.

Still... the Gold Stealing Card could be useful.

Xiao Huo's eyes lit up.

Xiao Yan had sold so much Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid these past few days. He must have plenty of gold coins on him. When he went to the auction hall to bid on something, Xiao Huo could steal all of Xiao Yan's gold coins...

Then...

Wouldn't Xiao Yan have no gold coins to pay with?

If he dared to deceive the Temir Auction Hall, Ya Fei's impression of Xiao Yan would definitely plummet!

If Xiao Huo meddled behind the scenes, Xiao Yan might even get beaten up...

Serves you right for dining and dashing!

Xiao Huo felt rather like a villain, constantly thinking of ways to torment Xiao Yan. Who told Xiao Yan to have such a punchable face?

Whenever Xiao Huo thought of Xiao Yan, he felt nothing but anger.

That bastard...

He had actually dared to leave behind threats, saying that he wanted to bully Nalan Yanran again three years later?

This time, with Xiao Huo standing in front of Nalan Yanran, no one would be able to bully her!

Three years later, Xiao Huo would crush Xiao Yan viciously before the entire world!

He would make sure Xiao Yan could never rise again for the rest of his life!

Buying out the wood-element magic cores was only the first step!

There were plenty of ways to mess with Xiao Yan!

Xiao Huo walked down the streets of Wutan City. For a time, many people took the initiative to avoid him, their eyes filled with a hint of awe. Along the way, quite a few young women looked at Xiao Huo with fluttering hearts and slightly flushed cheeks.

"Is that Xiao Huo, the young master of the Xiao Clan?"

"He's pretty handsome..."

"Young Master Xiao may be weak, but he's rich."

"..."

Many young women whispered among themselves, their beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Huo, somewhat excited. If they could follow Xiao Huo, wouldn't they never have to worry about food or clothes again? Besides, Xiao Huo surely possessed treasures bestowed by the Misty Cloud Sect.

If they could get a little closer...

The young women all had their own thoughts. They flaunted their figures, trying to seduce Xiao Huo.

Xiao Huo ignored them outright.

Heh.

Even though he was this handsome and so many beauties liked him, he wasn't that casual a guy...

More importantly, To Xiao Huo, these girls simply weren't in the same league as Nalan Yanran, nor could they compare to Xun'er at all. The gap was far too great. They were completely flat, and Xiao Huo had no interest whatsoever.

At least he felt something when touching Xun'er and Nalan Yanran... These girls were probably not even as big as him. He really couldn't summon the slightest interest. It was still more comfortable to go home and sleep while holding Xun'er.

Xiao Huo wandered around the streets for a while and unexpectedly bought a black iron shard.

Xiao Huo smiled.

It seemed he really had altered the worldline!

That bastard Xiao Yan... Without Xun'er shopping with him, he couldn't find the black iron shard?

Still... he would gladly take this black iron shard.

"Ding ding—"

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Dou Technique, Sucking Palm: Mysterious Tier Low Grade! You have successfully altered the worldline. Reward: 50 Prestige Points, System experience points +3. With another hundred experience points, the system will level up. Keep it up, host."

"Sucking Palm: when cultivated to mastery, it can pull in a thousand-jin boulder. When facing an enemy, its savage suction force can forcibly tear the blood from a human body!" the system said.

"System, help me learn Sucking Palm! Better yet, cultivate it directly to mastery. I need to find a chance to suck Xiao Yan's dick right off!"

Xiao Huo said calmly. Having the system really was comfortable—learning Dou Techniques was this easy.

That bastard Xiao Yan was probably still learning Eight Extremes Collapse, wasn't he?

Xiao Huo didn't understand...

Why had Old Yao given Xiao Yan a Dou Technique called Eight Extremes Collapse?

If you read it backward, wouldn't it be Collapse, Extremes, Eight?
