Cough Cough, Pure Passerby, I'll Speak a Fair Word

"Option 1: Go up and touch Xiao Yu's thigh to comfort her! Mission complete reward: Level +1! Note: There's a chance you'll get slapped, gain Xiao Yu's favor, but lose Xiao Xun'er's favor."

"Option 2: Immediately turn around and leave, as if nothing happened. Mission complete reward: Level +1! Lose Xiao Yu's favor simultaneously."

"Mission 3: Beat Xiao Ning until he cries, making him cry with Xiao Yu. Mission complete: Level +1, reward Dou Practitioner Pill!"

"..."

Looking at these three options, Xiao Lang almost chose the first one.

Touching thighs wasn't important; what was important was that he liked to comfort people.

He could even accept getting slapped.

Because his life motto was:

"To die under a peony is to be a romantic ghost." "A youth who isn't romantic lives in vain." "I love my country, but I love beauties even more." "Better a pervert than a saint like Liu Xiahui."

Fortunately, upon seeing that he would lose Xiao Xun'er's favor, he regained his senses.

Choosing between Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu was like choosing between a beauty and beautiful legs.

Although Xiao Lang admitted he had a leg fetish, Xiao Xun'er wasn't bad either.

It was like choosing between an A+ and another person who was all A+. Of course, he'd choose the all A+.

Besides, Xiao Xun'er had no blood relation to him.

As a good youth of the 21st century, how could he do something against ethics!

Therefore, he chose option three!

It wasn't because Xiao Ning had insulted him that he would randomly beat people.

Slap.

Xiao Lang directly slapped Xiao Ning across the face and said fiercely, "Your sister is crying, why aren't you crying? Hurry up and cry with your sister!"

"..."

Xiao Ning clutched his right cheek, completely bewildered, and blurted out, "What does my sister crying have to do with me! Why should I cry with her?"

Slap!

Another slap landed on Xiao Ning's left cheek. Xiao Yu said angrily, "Is this how you treat your sister? I'm crying, and you're not even here to comfort me?"

"Sister, I... I... I meant to say, what does your crying have to do with you hitting me, but I said it too quickly. You're my real sister, whoever dares to make you cry, I'll kill them!"

Xiao Ning covered both sides of his face, looking wronged.

Who could have imagined he would inexplicably receive two slaps?

Do you know what kind of shadow these two slaps cast on my childhood!

"It's him, you kill him for me!"

Seeing that Xiao Lang wasn't even coming to comfort her, Xiao Yu became even angrier!

It seemed all her feelings were one-sided!

She didn't even consider that she hadn't said anything to Xiao Lang; it was all in her own imagination.

But some people are like this; they move themselves and resent others, never reflecting.

"..."

Xiao Ning looked at Xiao Lang, who was watching him with a playful smirk, and swallowed. "Sister, you're my real sister. You want me, a seventh-stage Dou Disciple, to fight an eighth-stage Dou Disciple."

"Trash, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Yu said, looking at Xiao Lang. "He only broke through to eighth-stage Dou Disciple yesterday, and you've been stuck at seventh-stage Dou Disciple for over a year."

"..."

Xiao Ning looked fearfully at his sister. Although his sister was very protective of him, her words, "Only I can hit my brother," were literally true.

I don't know what that scoundrel said, but "you have to hit your brother early." Normally, he'd get hit maybe once a month, but now it was once every ten days or half a month.

"Then choose between fighting Xiao Lang or taking a beating from me." Xiao Yu still didn't want to fight Xiao Lang herself.

Although she had lost favor with Xiao Lang, at least he hadn't completely ignored her.

"..."

Xiao Ning's mouth twitched. Between Xiao Lang and his older sister, he felt that the fists of a ninth-stage Dou Disciple would hurt more.

So he looked at Xiao Lang and said, "Xiao Lang, I challenge you!"

"..."

Xiao Lang didn't speak. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ning with contempt, three parts mockery, three parts coldness, and four parts nonchalance.

"What do you mean? What are you looking at me for? I'm not into men."

Xiao Ning felt a bit creeped out by Xiao Lang's expression, because everyone in the Xiao family knew Xiao Lang was a bit crazy and a freak.

Could it be that he's taken a liking to my magnificent looks?

Xiao Ning stroked his chin, thinking narcissistically, When it comes to looks, I'm definitely in the top three in the Xiao family!

"He didn't choose, does that mean I have to provoke Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Lang had waited for so long, but the system's options hadn't popped up. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.

To test his theory, he looked at Xiao Ning and said, "You're not from the same generation as me. I'm afraid people will say I'm bullying the younger ones. Why don't you go challenge my brother, Xiao Yan?"

"..."

Xiao Ning's mouth twitched. He looked at Xiao Lang with a strange expression, a hint of pity in his eyes.

Xiao Lang really is a bit crazy.

Xiao Yan is already a Three-star Dou Practitioner. Me, a person with eight Duan Dou Disciple, challenging him? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Or is it like my sister said, Xiao Lang, despite reaching eight Duan Dou Disciple, lacks the strength and doesn't dare to fight me?

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Ning's gaze pricked Xiao Lang, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Lang, if you don't dare to accept my challenge, then apologize to my sister. Xiao Yan is already a Three-star Dou Practitioner, so him fighting me would be bullying me."

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Ning suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Xiao Lang wasn't stupid; he knew how formidable I am.

With this thought, Xiao Ning straightened his back, looked at Xiao Lang, his eyes full of confidence, and declared loudly, "Today, I, Xiao Ning, will challenge someone above my level! I'll show everyone what a genius looks like!"

Bang!

Without another word, Xiao Lang unleashed Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing, sending Xiao Ning flying. He then clapped his hands and said, "Damn it, wasting my time. It's taking so long for the choice to appear."

"Pfft!"

Xiao Ning hadn't even reacted when a sharp pain shot through his chest, and a sweet taste flooded his throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You sneak attacked! You're shameless!"

A torrent of emotions surged through Xiao Ning as he angrily shouted.

"Sneak attack? I'm teaching you a lesson, making you stay vigilant at all times. Otherwise, when you're older and go out for training, will people still talk about martial ethics with you?"

Xiao Lang put on a look of disappointment, as if Xiao Ning had failed to live up to his expectations. "Little Ning, how can a brother's good intentions be called shameless by you! My heart aches!"

As he spoke, he clutched his chest, looking heartbroken.

"Cough, cough, just a passerby, let me say something fair."

Just then, Xiao Zhan coughed and stepped forward, looking harmless.

"..."

Seeing this, the Great Elder's face turned green.

What the hell is a 'passerby'? You said the same thing eight years ago!

And what happened in the end?

You said your son was right!

Isn't that ridiculous!

"Forget it. The Dou Qi in this kid's body doesn't seem like eight Duan Dou Disciple at all. Even in a proper fight, you wouldn't be his opponent."

Finally, the Great Elder stepped forward, ending the farce.

Although I pity my grandson, there's nothing I can do. Xiao Yan's talent is destined to make him a Dou Emperor or even reach higher realms.

As for Xiao Lang, even though he's only at eight Duan Dou Disciple, I can't predict his achievements with his strange 'epiphanies'.

If the title of the Xiao family's twin stars resounds throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, then I, as an elder of the Xiao family, will also rise in status.

"No! I said only I can fight my brother! Xiao Lang, if you have the guts, fight me!" Xiao Yu said, her eyes fixed on Xiao Lang with fierce determination as she tenderly supported Xiao Ning.

She decided to cut ties with Xiao Lang from this day forward and go their separate ways!
