"What's going on down there?" Ye Qianqian feigned confusion upon hearing Xiao Laosan's roar.

She naturally knew what was happening. Following the plot, this cheat, Xiao Laosan, had spent three years of diligent top-ups to finally become a Gold VIP player, fully equipped with divine gear. Now, he was here to bully the girls.

Speaking of Xiao Yan, Ye Qianqian had felt a pang of sympathy for him in her past life. His Dou Qi cultivation was gone, he was mocked by others, and even his fiancée looked down on him. He was indeed pitiful and deserved sympathy.

But later, as she grew older, Ye Qianqian became increasingly annoyed with Xiao Laosan.

You're a transmigrator from Earth, can't you even see through a simple issue like freedom of marriage?

Also, Miss Nalan Yan Ran didn't say anything when she went to the Xiao Family. She calmly and gently proposed breaking off the engagement. But you, on the other hand, immediately went on the offensive, angering Miss Yan Ran and causing her to raise her voice.

Besides, you're allowed to be intimate with your little mistress Gu Xun Er, but your fiancée isn't allowed to break off the engagement? You middle-aged uncle (plus your past life's age), why do you only bully girls? Back on Earth in your past life, a scumbag like you, juggling multiple partners, should have been shot.

"Oh, reporting to the Ancestor, that kid is from the Xiao Family in Wutan City. This disciple didn't know he would disturb your elegance, Ancestor. This disciple will drive him away now."

Yun Shan bowed respectfully and roughly explained the situation between Nalan Yan Ran and Xiao Yan, fearing Ye Qianqian's anger.

"No need. Have him come up the mountain. I'm somewhat interested to see these juniors' squabbles."

The group arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect's training grounds. Ye Qianqian was arranged very thoughtfully by Yun Shan, sitting in a comfortable recliner, sipping fragrant tea, and munching on delicious melon seeds, looking quite pleased.

"Little Shanzi, that young girl is the Nalan Yan Ran you just mentioned, right?" Ye Qianqian pointed to a distant maiden.

"Reporting to the Grand Ancestor, this maiden is indeed Nalan Yan Ran," Yun Shan said.

"Go, have her come over. Let this Ancestor see this little girl's aptitude." Ye Qianqian, with the air of an empress dowager, lazily gestured, her imperious tone incredibly irritating.

If her memory served her correctly, she recalled the battle of the three-year agreement. That battle caused Miss Nalan Yan Ran to lose so badly she couldn't even lift her head.

The most classic scene at the time remained vivid in her mind. Xiao Yan, the pay-to-win player, was adorned with Dou Qi effects from head to toe. He had a Buddha Fury Flame Lotus in his left hand, a Flame Splitting Wave Ruler in his right, a pair of Purple Cloud Dou Wind Wings on his back, a level six battle pet Sky Swallowing Python on his head, and an old man who amplified Dou Qi in his ring. He was truly a player with no equal.

How could Miss Yan Ran possibly fight such a dazzling, ostentatious player? She would be blinded just by standing there, clearly destined to be thrashed!

Thus, Ye Qianqian had a small idea. She planned to help Nalan Yan Ran a little. She really didn't like watching girls get bullied.

"Disciple Nalan Yan Ran pays respects to the Grand Ancestor's Grandmother, and to Ancestor Yun Shan."

Before long, a beautiful and exceptionally elegant pink-haired maiden appeared before them with grace and poise, making Ye Qianqian's eyes light up.

Wow, Nalan Yan Ran is indeed beautiful. Her aura, her figure, and her face... In her past life, she would have been a goddess in the entertainment industry!

Ye Qianqian was so mesmerized her vision blurred, her mind racing with fantasies. Unknowingly, blood suddenly streamed from her nostrils.

"Ah, Grand Ancestor, you're bleeding!" Nalan Yan Ran exclaimed, feeling both curious and mystified by this suddenly appearing little ancestor.

Yun Shan was also startled. Could it be that the Grand Ancestor's injuries hadn't healed yet? Bleeding after a thousand years? But why a nosebleed?

"Uh?" Ye Qianqian realized her lapse in composure and quickly wiped her face with her small hands, smearing the blood all over. She said awkwardly:

"It's nothing, it's nothing, no need to make a fuss. This seat was just cultivating the Heavenly Blood Great Law. This technique can cleanse the marrow and wash the meridians, so only a little blood flowed out."

Ye Qianqian spoke nonsense with a straight face, then closed her eyes and made a finishing gesture with her hands, stopping after a while.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3 Shock Points from Yun Shan.

"Ancestor is truly amazing, able to cultivate anytime, anywhere."

"Uh... Hahaha!" Ye Qianqian laughed heartily and patted Yun Shan's shoulder. "Nothing special. When you reach my level, you'll be able to do it too."

Who knows what Yun Shan was thinking. He had lived so long his brain had turned to mush, believing everything she said.

After some idle chatter, they got down to business. Today, she intended to change Miss Yan Ran's fate and couldn't let this pay-to-win Xiao Laosan get too smug.

"Yan Ran, I've heard that you've reached the Two-Star Dou Grandmaster realm at such a young age. However, I don't believe your aptitude is exceptionally high. All of this is the result of your diligent cultivation. Remember, genius is composed of eighty percent effort and twenty percent belief. Therefore, I am very optimistic about you."

"Grand Ancestor's Grandmother has discerning eyes!" Nalan Yan Ran was extremely excited upon hearing this. Successful people generally didn't like to call themselves geniuses and preferred to boast about how much harder they worked than others.

Her words struck a chord with Nalan Yan Ran, making her feel delighted.

"Since you are so diligent, I naturally must reward you. Come here, and I will impart three Dou Techniques to you."

"What?" Nalan Yan Ran was overjoyed. She hadn't expected the Grand Ancestor's Grandmother to value her so highly, not only praising her in front of so many people but also offering to teach her three Dou Techniques. The Grand Ancestor's Grandmother was truly amazing.

Yun Shan, standing nearby, looked dejected. The Ancestor was imparting three Dou Techniques right from the start, why didn't she teach him anything?

Seeing Nalan Yan Ran walk over, Ye Qianqian pondered what kind of cool skill to give her.

After thinking for a long time, she finally had an answer. She extended her two mischievous little hands and embraced Miss Yan Ran, her hands also restlessly fumbling around her body.

"Ah, Grand Ancestor, what are you doing... what are you doing!" Nalan Yan Ran's fair face instantly flushed red when she was touched. If the Grand Ancestor hadn't been female, she would have screamed long ago.

"Don't make a sound. I am imparting energy to you. This is a massage and bone-setting technique for imparting energy, created by my good friend from a thousand years ago, Comedic Emperor Zi Ling, and Pillow Princess Emperor Han Han. It is even more complete than the technique of pouring nectar into the head." Saying this, she reached out again, towards Yan Ran's body. "Don't move. Close your eyes and clear your mind."

"Oh."

Poor Nalan Yan Ran actually believed her. She nodded solemnly and closed her eyes, allowing the two mischievous little hands to grope her body. Sometimes, when the massage felt good, she couldn't help but let out a soft moan, which was incredibly pleasant.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for successfully exchanging three skills, consuming 3000 Shock Points.

After a period of commotion, Ye Qianqian returned to her seat, satisfied. Nalan Yan Ran, on the other hand, was drenched in sweat. The experience just now was too stimulating. The Grand Ancestor's Grandmother was actually giving her a massage and acupressure treatment, which was simply unbelievable.

However, three powerful Dou Techniques actually appeared in her mind. It was as if these three Dou Techniques were destined for her, making her feel as though she could use them at any moment.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 Shock Points from Na Lan Yan Ran.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for imparting your teachings." Na Lan Yan Ran was both shocked and grateful, even having to say thank you after being taken advantage of.

"Alright, go do what you need to do!" Ye Qianqian said matter-of-factly, gesturing for her to leave.

The story splits into two.

Speaking of which, after three years of grinding, Xiao Laosan had now arrived at the summit of Misty Cloud Mountain.

Accompanying him was the famous Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

This Hai Bodong was no ordinary expert. Although his cultivation was that of a Dou Emperor, he was able to cut the map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, which even five Heavenly Flames couldn't burn, into two pieces with a single snip. It was rumored that he had once frozen an entire city. It seemed the Valley Master of the Ice River Valley could only conjure a light snowfall in comparison. Hai Bodong was incredibly powerful.

"Elder Hai, what was that celestial phenomenon just now?" Xiao Yan asked.

The special effects created by Ye Qianqian had enveloped the entire Misty Cloud Mountain in a strange spectacle, which Xiao Yan, from his vantage point far below, had clearly witnessed.

Especially the magnificent Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin, which was truly eye-catching.

Hai Bodong's expression was solemn. He had a feeling that something earth-shattering was about to happen today. He looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Young man, if you trust this old man, I advise you to leave the Misty Cloud Sect immediately."

"Why?" Xiao Yan felt displeased. He had painstakingly cultivated for three years, and his purpose for coming here was to defeat Na Lan Yan Ran. How could he just leave on a whim?

"Elder Hai, if you are afraid, I, Xiao Yan, will not force you. But today, I, Xiao Yan, must accomplish what I came here to do."

"Young man, don't try to provoke me. I've always kept my promises." Hai Bodong, finding no reason to continue, snorted and didn't say anything more, sitting down on a nearby chair.

Just then, Yun Leng of the Misty Cloud Sect stepped forward, looking down at Xiao Yan with imposing authority, as if regarding an ant that dared to challenge the might of the Misty Cloud Sect. The Ancestral Grandmother was seated above, and he intended to showcase the sect's power.

"Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family, you truly have guts to dare challenge the Misty Cloud Sect. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Hmph," Xiao Yan snorted coldly and declared loudly, "Since I, Xiao Yan, dared to come, I have never been afraid. My Xiao Family only has ghosts who died fighting, never people who feared death."

This boastful statement immediately earned the silent admiration of all the Misty Cloud Sect elders. Even the clan leaders of various families who hadn't left yet were full of praise. This young man was truly promising!

After several rounds of verbal sparring, Yun Leng was slightly flustered, rendered speechless by the boastful Xiao Yan. He could only continue to preside over the battle as the referee.

"This kid from the Xiao Clan is just like his ancestor," Ye Qianqian muttered with her eyes closed, rambling.

"Ancestor, do you know Xiao Yan's forefather?" Yun Shan asked curiously.

Ever since Vulture Protector from the Hall of Souls had arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect, he had been tasked with dealing with the Xiao Family. However, in Yun Shan's opinion, the Xiao Family had nothing extraordinary about them. Why would the Hall of Souls place so much importance on them?

The other elders of the Misty Cloud Sect were also curious, their gazes turning towards Ye Qianqian, listening intently.

"Heh heh, this seat naturally knows. This kid's family was once a top existence on the Dou Qi Continent, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, the Xiao Clan. Back then, this seat even knew their first-generation ancestor. If I remember correctly, his name was Xiao Gongben.

That Xiao Gongben's strength reached the peak of the Dou God realm. He constantly spouted nonsense about being invincible and unparalleled in the world, incredibly arrogant.

However, after the battle in the Valley of the Dead, he was easily defeated by the Heavenly Mold Emperor. His strength was weakened thereafter, and his later years were miserable!"

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1000 Shock Points from all the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect.
