Who the Hell Closed the Window?!

He knew the way by heart.

Xiao Lang arrived outside Xiao Xun'er's window.

"Hm?"

Xiao Lang tried to open the window, only to find that no matter how he pulled, it would not budge.

Fuck!

Who the hell had closed the window?!

This was not how the script was supposed to go!

Xiao Yan had not closed his window for three years, yet Xiao Xun'er had closed hers after just one day?

Could it be that Xiao Xun'er had known he was here yesterday?

And she did not want him to touch... uh, help temper her body anymore?

Xiao Lang shut down. After all, if he forced his way in, even Xiao Xun'er would not believe he was just pretending to sleep.

Forget it. He would come back tomorrow to see whether the window was still closed.

"Hmph, Xiao Lang, why aren't you sharing drinks with that woman? What are you doing at my room?"

Just as Xiao Lang was about to leave, Xiao Xun'er's voice suddenly came from inside the room.

The moment he heard that, Xiao Lang understood what had happened.

It seemed Xiao Xun'er had overheard him teasing Yun Yun today.

She was jealous!

This little girl already knows how to be jealous at such a young age. What a little vinegar jar.

Xiao Lang chuckled inwardly.

Still, it was fortunate that she had not shut the window because she disliked him. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.

After all, if a woman was not interested in you, no amount of groveling would get you anywhere.

But if she was interested in you, all it took was one word from you for her to obediently do as you said.

Before that, though, you had to coax her properly.

Women were emotional. Only when she was happy could you happily proceed to the next step.

Some people might be too proud to lower themselves. Hearing a few insincere words from a woman, they would get angry too, refusing to bow their heads for the sake of their pride.

But which was more important, pride or meat?

That depended on the individual.

As far as Xiao Lang was concerned, if he could eat meat, why would he care about pride? Besides, how much was pride even worth?

It was not even worth as much as the money you spent on toilet paper.

He never denied that he was lustful, nor did he claim to be a gentleman.

"Ah, I never expected that, just so I could stay by Xun Er's side, I would say some things that offended the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, only for it to backfire and make Xun Er misunderstand me."

Using the God-Tier Disguise Technique, Xiao Lang controlled his expression, emotions, and even his voice with a skill surpassing that of any best actor. "But it doesn't matter. As long as I can stay in the Xiao Clan and watch Xun Er grow up healthy and happy, I will be content."

"All right, Xun Er, I'm leaving. Tomorrow, I'll have Xiao Yan nourish your body. Girls are relatively weak when they're young, and now that summer is turning into autumn, the temperatures are changing drastically. Be careful not to catch a cold."

With that, Xiao Lang turned to leave.

As he walked, he silently counted in his heart, Three, two, one.

Click!

The door opened.

Xiao Xun'er's eyes were red as she looked at Xiao Lang with guilt written all over her face.

"Xiao Lang, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Come in quickly, or it won't be good if someone sees us."

"It's all right. I'm the one who made Xun Er suffer." Xiao Lang turned around with an apologetic smile. Under the moonlight, the young man in white looked calm and otherworldly, yet the seemingly smiling expression on his face was actually full of disappointment and self-reproach, making people's hearts ache for him.

If he were in the present day, countless understanding older sisters would surely help him avoid decades of detours.

Likewise, no one knew how many young girls would fall into this boy's hands once he grew up.

"Xiao Lang..."

Seeing Xiao Lang like this, Xiao Xun'er's heart was instantly stirred. Though she was still young, she was far more sensible than others her age.

The guilt on her face deepened.

"It's fine, Xun Er. As long as Xun Er continues misunderstanding me, I'll be very happy." Xiao Lang walked over, rubbed Xiao Xun'er's little head, and spoke gently.

"Xiao Lang, hurry and come in."

A blush immediately surfaced on Xiao Xun'er's fair little face. Lowering her head shyly, she spoke in a soft voice.

"Mm. It's getting late, so I'll nourish Xun Er's body now, and then you can get some sleep early."

Seeing Xiao Xun'er like this, Xiao Lang knew he had her completely wrapped around his finger. After all, his real age was much older than hers.

Very quickly, Xiao Lang nourished Xiao Xun'er's body once. However, he discovered that he did not feel dizzy or drained at all.

That's not right. When I was at the third stage of Dou Qi before, I felt completely drained after one session. Xiao Lang frowned as he returned the way he had come, unable to figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.

Xiao Xun'er also furrowed her brows. Looking at Xiao Lang's departing back, she murmured, "Xiao Lang's Dou Qi seems much denser than an ordinary person's. Could it be that he cultivates some high-level Dou Qi cultivation method?"

The next day.

"Good morning, Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master."

Early in the morning, after Xiao Lang had seen Xiao Ding and Xiao Li off, he dragged Xiao Yan, who had cultivated all night, around the Xiao Clan. Yet not a single system choice was triggered.

Ever since Xiao Lang had become a Dou Zhe overnight yesterday, no one dared show off in front of him anymore.

Every one of them was incomparably respectful.

Even those from the Great Elder's faction who had once mocked Xiao Lang kept far away whenever they saw him, giving him no chance to pick a fight.

"Mm."

Xiao Lang nodded listlessly, unable to feel happy at all.

Is heaven trying to destroy me, the great Lang?

Xiao Lang was filled with melancholy, thinking to himself as he wandered around like a walking corpse.

"Brother, we've been walking around all day. What exactly are you trying to do? Are you looking for something?"

Xiao Yan truly could not take it anymore. If his Third Brother had not always treated him well, he would have quit long ago.

He had not cultivated for an entire day, and his whole body felt awful!

"It's nothing. I delayed your cultivation today, so take this bottle of Foundation Building Spirit Liquid back with you. It can speed up your Dou Qi cultivation."

Xiao Lang looked utterly dejected. If choices were this difficult to trigger, he would still have to rely on Xiao Yan in the future.

"Foundation Building Spirit Liquid? It can speed up Dou Qi cultivation?" Xiao Yan stared at his Third Brother in surprise, because he had never even heard of it.

"Mm. If it's not enough, I have more. Just come to me for it." Xiao Lang spoke generously, then told Xiao Yan how to use the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid.

"Third Brother, you should keep this for yourself. My cultivation speed is already very fast." Xiao Yan declined. "I don't need this."

That was what he said, but who did not want their cultivation speed to become even faster?

Yet some things could not be measured by such things.

"Of course I have some. I just worry that you'll become too dependent on it and waste your talent, which is why I'm only giving you one bottle a day." Xiao Lang naturally knew what Xiao Yan was thinking and spoke with a gratified expression.

"In that case, I'll accept it. Thank you, Third Brother!" Xiao Yan no longer refused and spoke excitedly. "This way, I can catch up to you faster."

That night.

After Xiao Yan used the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, he immediately felt his cultivation speed rapidly increase. Only then did he understand why his Third Brother had improved so quickly.

After all, if he had this every day, he too could break through to Dou Zhe at the age of eight!

Achoo!

Xiao Lang suddenly sneezed and lay on his bed with a miserable expression.

Having gained nothing all day, he felt awful beyond words.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe I won't trigger a system choice for an entire year!" Xiao Lang abruptly sat up and encouraged himself.

And so, another eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

It was time for the Clan Test once again.
