Ge Ye froze where he stood...
Then, his expression turned excited, and a hearty smile spread across his face!
"Good... good!"
"Wonderful!"
"Such a heroic young man is actually Yanran's fiancé! Hahaha! It's fortunate that their marriage was arranged from childhood. This is Yanran's blessing, and even more so the fortune of the entire Misty Cloud Sect!" Ge Ye excitedly slapped his thigh.
"Uncle Ge Ye..."
A faint blush appeared on Nalan Yanran's cheeks as she spoke softly, seemingly with a hint of urging. So the young hero who had saved her life was her fiancé—the man she would marry for the rest of her life!
"Good, good, good, I understand."
"We'll set out immediately. Even if I have to throw away this old face of mine, I'll fulfill Yanran's wish." Ge Ye grew even more excited. If Yanran could marry Xiao Huo, then when Xiao Huo eventually reached the pinnacle, the entire Misty Cloud Sect's status would soar to unprecedented heights!
Nalan Yanran felt sweetness in her heart. Thinking of that handsome face, she could not help feeling a little happy.
A Five-star Dou Practitioner youth spoke up at that moment. "Uncle Ge, weren't we going to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement? Why has it changed now? That Xiao Huo, in my opinion, is nothing special. Maybe he staged the whole thing himself..."
Before he could finish, Ge Ye's cold rebuke cut him off.
"Shut up!"
"Xiao Huo is Wutan City's mysterious genius. Three years ago, his name shook the world. Now, his cultivation is far stronger than even mine. He is a true genius among youths. When did I ever say we were breaking off the engagement? Hm?"
The young man still looked somewhat aggrieved. "You were the one who said it just now..."
"Impudent! Shut your mouth!"
"Xiao Huo is a genius. I personally brought Yanran to the Xiao Clan to discuss when they should marry, yet... yet you dare say we came to break off the engagement? If Xiao Huo hears that, you may die here today!"
"The entire Misty Cloud Sect will be implicated because of you!" Ge Ye was furious. This young man had always seemed fairly sensible before—why was he being so stupid today? Xiao Huo might even be hiding nearby right now...
"Impossible!"
"If he really is the Xiao Clan's young master, how could he be called trash? Otherwise, we wouldn't have come all this way to break off the engagement." The young man spoke in a low voice, his voice growing quieter and quieter. No matter how he thought about it, something felt wrong.
"Hmph!"
"Since when did you have the right to comment on my fiancé, Nalan Yanran's fiancé?"
"Brother Xiao Huo must have been deliberately keeping a low profile, testing Yanran's feelings..."
Nalan Yanran was also somewhat angry.
What was this young man trying to do by constantly driving a wedge between her and Brother Xiao Huo?
"You, get lost."
"I hereby declare that you are permanently expelled from the Misty Cloud Sect! You dared to speak so arrogantly and offend Young Hero Xiao Huo. Even if the Sect Master were here, you would not be let off lightly!" Ge Ye coldly ordered, kicking the young man away with a single kick.
He still felt lingering fear. If Xiao Huo had seen this scene...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
"Thank you, Uncle Ge Ye!"
"Let's hurry and see Brother Xiao Huo..."
Nalan Yanran was filled with anticipation...
Her fiancé was very handsome.
"However..."
"Everyone in the Xiao Clan says Young Hero Xiao Huo is trash. They presumably still do not know that his cultivation is already so terrifying, and that he possesses unrivaled talent in alchemy. Since the young hero has no intention of revealing it, we absolutely must not say anything either. Remember to keep it secret."
Ge Ye hurriedly reminded them, afraid that they would upset Xiao Huo when they arrived at the Xiao Clan.
"Mm!"
"I understand."
Nalan Yanran nodded. Her Brother Xiao Huo liked to keep a low profile, so she would accompany him in doing so. She absolutely could not let anyone learn Brother Xiao Huo's secret.
Ding ding—
Congratulations, Host, for successfully showing off. Reward: 5,000 Experience Points, 3 Prestige Points. Friendly reminder: Prestige Points can be used to purchase equipment, pills, mounts, beauties, lolis... Congratulations, Host, you have advanced to Dou Practitioner 1-star. Remaining Experience.
Xiao Huo felt an endless stream of power coursing through him, and a faint smile appeared on his face. That feeling just now had been amazing. Unfortunately, he could not get too intimate with Nalan Yanran yet, or he would definitely make her resent him.
Xiao Huo looked ahead. He believed that, sooner or later, Nalan Yanran would willingly throw herself into his arms. And... that day would come very soon!
With the system in hand, beauties would fall into his grasp!
"System, open the Panel," Xiao Huo said calmly.
"Ding!" the system replied.
Host Name: Xiao Huo Age: 18 Length: Short Level: Dou Practitioner 1-star (Dou Emperor Trial Card: three days, 71 hours remaining.) Cultivation Technique: None Weapon: None Harem: Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran (Love at First Sight) Experience Points: Prestige Points: -2
"System, didn't I just earn 3 Prestige Points? Why am I in the negative?" Xiao Huo asked unhappily.
"Hehe..."
"Idiot, did you think buying on credit meant you didn't have to pay? The Pipi Pill costs 5 Prestige Points," the system said.
"???" Xiao Huo was speechless.
"System, I'll give you one more chance to reconsider your wording," Xiao Huo said.
"Hostile intent confirmed. This System is initiating its self-destruction sequence. Self-destruction in progress. The host will soon be destroyed..." the system's voice came through.
"Don't!!"
"System, you're the best!"
Xiao Huo hurriedly said. The system was getting serious again.
Where was there such a miserable protagonist?
Hmph!
Once I become a Dou Emperor one day, System, you know what's coming!
"Open the Shop," Xiao Huo said helplessly.
The Shop... left Xiao Huo utterly dazzled.
Cultivation techniques, pills, weapons—it had everything!
"Damn it!"
"System, are you messing with me?"
"Pipi Wound Medicine: restores all injuries below the Dou Emperor realm. 1 Prestige Point."
"Pipi Level-Up Pill: allows any expert below the Dou Practitioner realm to level up once. 5 Prestige Points."
"Pipi Aphrodisiac: can make a woman take the initiative... 20 Prestige Points."
"Pipi Virility Pill: increases length. 20 Prestige Points."
Xiao Huo was helpless. What kind of trash system was this?
Did I need to increase my length or stamina? System, what the hell do you know!
"Yellow Tier Late Stage, Fire God Palm: 15 Prestige Points."
"Black Tier Early Stage, Thunder Moves Nine Heavens: 25 Prestige Points."
"Azure Dragon Crescent Blade: 50 Prestige Points."
"Eighteen-Foot Serpent Spear: 50 Prestige Points."
Xiao Huo felt wronged. Every single thing was so expensive. Was it easy for him to painstakingly show off for a few Prestige Points?
"Hm? Good stuff!"
"Dou Emperor Yun Yun Trial Card: 1,000 Prestige Points!" Xiao Huo's eyes lit up. Thinking of Yun Yun, she was a beauty capable of bringing disaster to kingdoms. He was not Xiao Yan—anyone who refused to take a beauty like that was an idiot.
But...
How exactly was the Yun Yun Trial Card meant to be "experienced"?
Could it be...
Xiao Huo smiled.
If he could really experience Yun Yun, hehe...
Unfortunately, it cost 1,000 Prestige Points. That was far too expensive!
"System, I want to draw a lottery!" Xiao Huo said. This system was pretty trashy—its equipment was mediocre too, and he could not even curse at it. Otherwise, the system would start crying, throwing a fit, and threatening suicide again. You're a system, not some girl. I don't want to comfort you...
"Ding!"
"Lottery successful. Thanks for participating!" the system said.
"Damn it..."
Xiao Huo looked helpless.
"Ding! The host successfully showed off and may receive an additional ten lottery draws!" the system said.
"Now that's more like a proper system."
Xiao Huo continued drawing.
"Thanks for participating..."
"Thanks for participating..."
"Thanks for participating..."
"..."
"System, are you even capable?" Xiao Huo was on the verge of losing it.
"More capable than you," the system replied.
"..." Xiao Huo looked utterly helpless. This system... Sigh, Nalan Yanran was still better.
"Congratulations, host, you have drawn a top-tier cultivation technique!"
"Technique name: Dong Dong Bo!" the system's cheerful voice rang out.
Xiao Huo was utterly speechless. Other people's systems gave their techniques insanely cool, badass names.
But his system gave him Dong Dong Bo?
Never mind. At least he had a technique now...
"Ding!"
"Mission One: Go to the Xiao Clan in Wutan City and forcibly kiss Xiao Xun'er. Mission reward: 3,500 experience points and one Pipi Experience Pill."
"Mission Two: Go to the Xiao Clan in Wutan City and drive Xiao Yan out of the Xiao Clan. Mission reward: 5,000 experience points and one Pipi Level-Up Pill. Note: Xiao Yan must not be killed. You may only beat him in a 'gentle' manner."
"Special Rule: The host must obtain 20 Prestige Points within one week. Otherwise, the system will destroy the host and select a new one."
A string of mission notifications entered Xiao Huo's mind.
Excitement flickered in Xiao Huo's eyes!
These missions...
The system really was looking out for him!
It was time for him to make a dazzling entrance again!
Show off!
"System, let me teach you how to show off. When it comes to showing off, even Xiao Yan is just a little brother before me." Xiao Huo revealed a lecherous grin... He had Dou Emperor cultivation, even if he could only use it for three days.
For three days, wouldn't he be able to swagger through Wutan City?
Xiao Yan...
You stupid mutt.
I wonder what expression you'll have when I forcibly kiss Xun'er...
