Grief and Fury! Humiliated Nalan Yanran!

Grief and Fury! Humiliated Nalan Yanran!

"Ni... Nine Star Dou Zhe!" Ge Ye's face paled in horror! Even Yun Potian, the founder of their Misty Cloud Sect, had only been a Four Star Dou Zhe at Xiao Yan's age! What kind of monster was Xiao Yan? "Nine Star Dou Zhe?"

Xiao Zhan and the Elders stood dumbfounded, while Xiao Mei and the other juniors were all scared witless.

A Nine Star Dou Zhe! Heavens!

"Yan'er, you... you..." Having come back to his senses, Xiao Zhan felt incredibly dizzy.

Just yesterday, Xiao Yan had only broken through to become a One Star Dou Zhe, yet today he was already at nine stars?

If he were not Xiao Yan's father and did not know Xiao Yan's nature, he would have suspected that some old monster had taken over Xiao Yan's body!

Xiao Yan withdrew his Dou Qi and smiled. "Father, it was all done by that cheap master of mine. After three years of accumulation, along with the aid of pills, I soared straight to the top!"

"So that's how it is!" Xiao Zhan slapped his thigh.

No wonder Xiao Yan had inexplicably gone from a genius to a worthless cripple unable to absorb Dou Qi three years ago.

It had to have been the work of Xiao Yan's mysterious master!

"I only absorbed his Dou Qi for a few years. What happened afterward had nothing to do with me!" Yao Lao grumbled unhappily.

"Nine Star Dou Zhe, Nine Star Dou Zhe..."

Nalan Yanran gave a miserable laugh. Suddenly overwhelmed by grief, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The clown had been herself all along! Once word of this spread, Nalan Su, who had lost such a monstrous son-in-law, would surely become the laughingstock of the Jia Ma Empire.

And there was her as well! "Nalan Yanran, I understand why you wanted to break off the engagement. From now on, we are both free."

As Xiao Yan's gentle words fell, Nalan Yanran's pretty face gradually twisted.

"Xiao Yan, you must have been plotting all this for a long time! You didn't come to the Misty Cloud Sect to break off the engagement because you wanted to wait for me to come here myself, so I would become the laughingstock of the Jia Ma Empire!"

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth, raised her short sword, and sliced open her palm. She pressed a bloody handprint onto the white paper. "Xiao Yan! I admit that breaking off the engagement was rash of me, but don't think that being a Nine Star Dou Zhe means you can toy with me!

Three years ago, when you became a Dou Zhe, I only had Eight Stage Dou Qi, yet I was still full of confidence!

I, Nalan Yanran, offer you a few words of advice: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never belittle a young girl because she is poor! If you have the guts, come to my Misty Cloud Sect in three years and see just how far you can cultivate!

If you can defeat me then, I, Nalan Yanran, will be your servant for the rest of my life. You can decide everything!"

Nalan Yanran's declaration of war flew bloodily into Xiao Yan's hands, the bloody handprint upon it shocking to behold.

Holding this letter written in blood, Xiao Yan stood there blankly, feeling that something was not quite right.

It seemed Nalan Yanran had stolen some of his lines? "Three years is too long..."

The moment Xiao Yan's helpless words left his mouth, Nalan Yanran roared in grief and fury, "Xiao Yan, are you so afraid of being surpassed by me? In three years, I will wait for you at the Misty Cloud Sect and wash away today's humiliation!"

Xiao Zhan: ...

The Elders: ...

Seeing Nalan Yanran's hysterical appearance, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt a little sorry for her. "Niece Yanran..."

"Uncle Xiao, Yanran apologizes to you for what happened today. If you have time in the future, please visit the Nalan Family!"

Nalan Yanran bowed to Xiao Zhan. She no longer wished to remain in this place of humiliation and turned to leave.

"Miss of the Nalan Family, I hope you will not regret your rash actions today. And do not think that having the Misty Cloud Sect backing you means you can act without restraint. Dou Qi Continent is vast—there are quite a few people stronger than Yun Yun..." Xun Er's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"You're the girl who has always followed beside Xiao Yan like a little tail, aren't you?"

Nalan Yanran looked at Xun Er unwillingly. "I admit that you have good taste. He is powerful, and his Pill Refinement Technique is exceptional. He truly is attractive, but I simply don't like him!"

Xun Er sighed and shook her head. "You know nothing of Brother Xiao Yan's charm. Even if Brother Xiao Yan remained a cripple for the rest of his life, I would still stay by his side."

"I don't believe it!" Tears welled in Nalan Yanran's eyes as she proudly raised her chin.

"Sigh!"

Xun Er shook her head again. "On Dou Qi Continent, strength is revered, but not everything is decided by strength. If you had gotten to know Brother Xiao Yan earlier, perhaps things might have turned out differently."

"You broke off the engagement too late."

Too late?

Nalan Yanran was destined never to understand those words. After all, the one who had always stayed by Xiao Yan's side was Xun Er, not her.

"Please."

Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the doors and windows, wrapping Xun Er within it. From afar, she looked like a purple lotus blooming in the mortal world—pure and beautiful, untouched by dust...

"Did I really do something wrong..."

Looking at Xun Er, whose beauty was beyond compare, Nalan Yanran's mind wavered. But she quickly steadied herself.

She was the little princess of the Nalan Family, one of the Three Great Families of the Jia Ma Empire! She was the personal disciple of Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect! She could not be wrong! It was impossible for her to be wrong! Impossible!

As she decisively walked out of the Xiao Family, Nalan Yanran said word by word, "When we return, I will enter the Life and Death Gate!"

"What?" The Moon Robe Youth was shocked.

Nalan Yanran turned back to look at the Xiao Family's plaque. "Xiao Yan has a mysterious master, but I have the foundation of the Misty Cloud Sect. After we return, I will beg Grandmaster Gu He to refine a batch of pills tailored specifically for me."

"My past self was indeed too lax, which is why I suffered such humiliation."

"Three years from now."

"I'll wait for him to come to the Misty Cloud Sect!"

"Achoo!"

Sensing that someone was thinking about him, Xiao Yan sneezed involuntarily, his expression strange.

Three years was far too long. Once he became a Dou Huang, he would find time to visit the Misty Cloud Sect and settle this matter once and for all.

"Yan'er, release your Dou Qi again and let me see!" Xiao Zhan stared at Xiao Yan with bright eyes.

Xiao Yan helplessly did as told.

Boom!

Xiao Mei and the others felt their minds grow dizzy. The powerful Dou Qi nearly made them pass out.

"Haha!"

Xiao Zhan once again revealed an ecstatic expression, and the Elders all beamed with delight.

This member of the Xiao Family was no genius.

He was a monster! "Cousin Xiao Yan, could you... prepare some pills for me?" Xiao Mei asked timidly.

Xiao Ning and the others also wore complicated expressions. They wanted pills, yet found it difficult to speak.

After all.

Over the past three years, they had given Xiao Yan no shortage of cold looks.

"With the Xiao Family's wealth, preparing so many pills would indeed be somewhat troublesome..."

Xiao Mei, Xiao Ning, and the others lowered their heads, their eyes dim and disappointed. At that moment, they regretted everything beyond measure.

Even a saint would find it hard to let go after enduring three years of their cold words and mockery.

Yet unexpectedly.

The next moment.

Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head. "The Xiao Family's stores may not be enough, but there's still the Mittel Auction House! Their business spans the entire Jia Ma Empire!"

"Wait for me to return. I'll make sure you can eat pills like beans!"
