Xiao Yan, Are You Worthy?

Buzz!

Xiao Yan watched this scene with his eyes nearly splitting apart, his fists clenched tight, veins bulging. His eyes were bloodshot, his entire body trembling violently. His fingertips dug into his palms, drawing bright red blood!

Xiao Yan's face turned livid.

This was his woman!

His childhood sweetheart!

Yet...

The girl he liked was being held and forcibly kissed by Xiao Huo right before his eyes!

This was supposed to be a privilege Xiao Yan got to enjoy!

He had waited painstakingly for Xun'er for over a decade, waiting for her to grow up so he could win her over, take all sorts of liberties with her, and find a chance to take her first time. Then she would forever be his woman!

Xiao Yan had plotted for over a decade.

And finally...

Xun'er had finally grown up.

Her gradually developing little cherries, as well as her untouched first kiss, had all been claimed first by that bastard Xiao Huo!

Ahhh...

She was the woman Xiao Yan had chosen!

How could this...

"No!"

Xiao Yan's hoarse voice rang out, filled with boundless fury!

"Xiao... Huo!"

"You're... courting... death!"

Xiao Yan roared furiously.

His fists clenched as he unleashed powerful force and stepped forward, as though he were about to destroy everything!

Boom!

Xiao Yan's punch landed squarely on Xiao Huo's chest.

Xiao Huo chuckled inwardly. He had anticipated this moment long ago and immediately stepped in front of Xun'er, afraid that this idiot Xiao Yan might fail to hit him. This was a self-inflicted injury scheme—otherwise, how could he play the role of her protector? How could he make Xun'er worry for him?

Of course... most importantly, Xiao Huo wanted Xun'er to strike at Xiao Yan!

How would Xiao Yan feel if the Xun'er he liked slapped him in the face?

When it came to acting, he was at the level of an award-winning actor!

"Ah!"

Xiao Huo let out a "miserable cry," his face turning deathly pale. Without hesitation, his body shot backward in an incredibly convincing display, flying five or six meters before crashing heavily into the wall.

Crack!

The wall collapsed instantly!

Xiao Huo lay on the ground in an extremely "miserable" state, buried beneath bricks and stones, looking as though he were in agonizing pain.

"Brother Xiao Huo!"

Xiao Xun'er looked panicked, a trace of fear appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Tears shimmered in the girl's clear, autumn-water-like eyes.

She hurried to Xiao Huo's side, supporting the boy before her with her delicate hands. Looking at the "injured" Xiao Huo, her beautiful eyes were filled with heartache. "Brother Xiao Huo, why did you block that punch for Xun'er?"

"Silly girl, it's enough that you're all right."

"I told you, with me here, no one in this life will ever be able to hurt you!"

"Anyone who wants to hurt you must first step over my dead body, Xiao Huo's!"

Xiao Huo coughed repeatedly as he wrapped an arm around Xun'er's slender waist, putting on a pained expression while taking in the girl's faint fragrance. The way Xun'er worried for him was delicate and touching, making her impossible not to adore.

"Brother Xiao Huo... Xun'er has always liked you."

Tears fell from Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes. She allowed Brother Xiao Huo to hold her slender waist, deeply moved. Brother Xiao Huo treated her so well, taking the initiative to shield her from everything and always standing in front of her.

She only felt warmth fill her heart.

Brother Xiao Huo, Xun'er will only marry you in this life...

"Silly girl."

"The weather's getting cold, so wear more clothes. My Xun'er has become even prettier—prettier than a fairy." Xiao Huo brushed his face against Xun'er's lovely cheek. The girl immediately lowered her head with a blush, bashful and charming, her heart pounding wildly.

"Here, put on my clothes. Even if I'm cold, I can't let my Xun'er be cold." Xiao Huo smiled and kissed Xun'er on the forehead again.

"Brother Xiao Huo, you should wear them. Xun'er isn't cold."

Xiao Xun'er hurriedly shook her head, looking at Xiao Huo with concern, though her heart was filled with joy. Brother Xiao Huo had actually become so considerate.

Not far away, Xiao Yan stared at the scene, dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Xiao Yan knew perfectly well that he had not used much force. With his Dou Qi level three strength, he did not have much brute strength to begin with, yet Xiao Huo had been sent flying five or six meters? Damn it! Xiao Huo had actually been putting on an act! Despicable!

Xiao Yan was furious...

That punch of his

had actually brought Xiao Huo and Xiao Xun'er even closer.

How ridiculous.

How hateful!

He could not stand it!

Xiao Yan stepped forward, his cold gaze fixed on Xiao Huo, though he sneered inwardly. With his Dou Qi level three strength, he might not be powerful, but judging from Xiao Yan's performance just now, he could crush Xiao Huo with a single punch!

Even if Xiao Huo had been acting, he still believed himself to be stronger than Xiao Huo!

After all, Xiao Yan had once been a peak genius. In terms of combat experience, he far surpassed Xiao Huo as well!

Xiao Yan was about to spit out a few harsh words, but Xiao Huo cut him off first.

"Shameless..."

"I don't know your name, so I'll call you that for now. Cough, cough... Shameless, I can understand that you like my Xun'er, but Xun'er is already my girlfriend. Someone like you isn't worthy of my Xun'er."

"I have a hat made of green-colored jade here." Xiao Huo coughed repeatedly, putting on a frail appearance. "Shameless... this hat is worth a fortune! If you wear it on your head, then with Brother Shameless's talents, you will surely win the favor of other girls."

"Even if Brother Shameless doesn't like it, you can still sell it for gold..."

"Cough, cough..."

Xiao Huo walked forward and tried to place the glowing green hat onto Xiao Yan's head.

Behind him, Xiao Xun'er watched the scene unfold, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at everything.

She was so touched...

Brother Xiao Huo was truly a good person!

Even after being hit by Xiao Yan, he did not get angry. He even wanted to give the other party a gift, letting him leave and showing him a way out. Xiao Xun'er had never imagined that the Brother Xiao Huo she liked was such a kind person.

Before Xiao Yan could react, Xiao Huo had already placed the green hat on his head.

"Ding ding!"

"Congratulations, Host, for placing the Green Oil Hat on Xiao Yan's head. Reward: 3,000 experience, 5 Prestige Points. Note: once the Green Oil Hat is placed atop someone's head, it can never be removed. Host, you are truly outstanding. The system is delighted and is awarding you an additional 10 Prestige Points."

"Unremovable Green Oil Hat: costs 15 Prestige Points. Host's remaining Prestige Points: 0." The system's voice sounded.

Xiao Huo felt absolutely amazing!

Hahahahaha!

A Green Oil Hat!

One that could not be removed!

It had landed right on Xiao Yan's head. He was such a good person—he had given such an excellent level-one helmet to Xiao Yan, even spending 15 Prestige Points on it. But this deal was totally worth it!

"Brother Shameless, don't you think it looks handsome?"

Xiao Huo smiled.

He casually took out a bronze mirror and placed it in Xiao Yan's hand.

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

The originally refined-looking Xiao Yan now inexplicably had a green hat on his head, standing there in the wind in utter disarray.

Everyone around them looked at Xiao Huo with admiration.

As expected of a young master of the Xiao Clan!

He was far too kind!

After all, this was the Dou Qi Continent. Only people in modern times understood the meaning of a green hat. Everyone merely thought that Young Master Xiao had generously given Xiao Yan a priceless gift, leaving yet another good impression of Young Master Xiao in their hearts.

Smash!

Xiao Yan's eyes widened with fury!

He viciously hurled the bronze mirror to the ground.

He had not only personally watched Xiao Xun'er be forcibly kissed by Xiao Huo in front of everyone!

He had even...

Brother Xiao Huo had actually cuckolded him!

And he still dared mock him for being shameless?

"Xiao Huo, you're courting death!"

A terrifying killing intent erupted from Xiao Yan's icy eyes. He suddenly drew a dagger and thrust it straight at Brother Xiao Huo's throat! Yet Brother Xiao Huo only wore a mocking sneer, making no move to dodge.

This stupid dog...

Just as expected, he had taken the bait!

Xiao Yan's expression twisted with fury as he charged at Brother Xiao Huo!

At that very moment, The girl in the purple dress behind Brother Xiao Huo raised her exquisite little face. A wisp of tiny golden flame suddenly surged from her autumn-water eyes. Her body shot forward as she lunged at Xiao Yan!

"The one courting death is you!" Xiao Xun'er said coldly, a terrifying aura bursting from her eyes!

He dared try to kill Brother Xiao Huo right in front of her?

Was Xiao Yan worthy?
