Gathering Three Thousand Weak Waters!

"No way, no way, your esteemed Misty Cloud Sect treasures a mere Qi Gathering Powder?"

Just then, Xiao Lang walked out, looking at the Misty Cloud Sect members with disbelief.

His eyes lit up when he saw the choice trigger, confirming his guess.

Such a famous scene was bound to trigger a choice.

It's just...

What the heck are Choice One and Choice Two!

Joining them if you can't beat them is one thing, but getting the title "The Wise Man Knows When to Yield" and a hundred percent success rate for begging for mercy on your knees?

Who the hell would beg for mercy on their knees!

Your whole family would beg for mercy on their knees!

Then there's Choice Two. At first glance, it grants ten levels and extraordinary rewards, instantly bringing him to the realm of a Three-Star Dou Grandmaster.

But the risk is too great.

After all, the system itself said he would become a "Ghost Hero" after death.

Wait...

It seems like becoming a Ghost Hero down there isn't a bad option either.

Maybe he could even pick up some ghost girls.

If he ever gets tired of living, and this kind of choice comes up again, he'll pick this one.

After all, the loli he painstakingly raised has grown up, and he can't let her be taken by someone else to become a concubine!

"..."

The system was speechless at Xiao Lang's scumbag tendencies.

Even in death, he's thinking about picking up ghost girls. This is truly one of a kind.

As for Choice Three, this was naturally Xiao Lang's most favored option.

Not only could he utter that famous line, but he could also "divorce his wife on behalf of his brother," a treatment only a protagonist could enjoy.

As expected, in fanfiction, the original protagonist is so humble.

Not only are his women snatched away, but even his lines are stolen.

Plus, he could also gather the complete Three Thousand Weak Waters!

One must know that every Heavenly Flame has its corresponding special effect.

For example, the Three Thousand Burning Flame could grant Xiao Yan a "Three Thousand Star Body," allowing him to recover as long as he wasn't instantly killed.

The Nihility Devouring Flame also possesses the special ability to devour all things.

And this special ability isn't exclusive to Heavenly Flames; Heavenly Waters have it too!

It's just that Xiao Lang had only absorbed one-third of the Three Thousand Weak Waters before, so its effects weren't obvious, as Old Yao had told him.

The reason his strength and meridians far surpassed his current realm was that the Three Thousand Weak Waters were constantly strengthening his meridians and muscle strength.

This gave him strength and meridian toughness far exceeding that of his peers.

Of course, the more significant reason over the past decade was that he had been bathing in Foundation Building Spirit Liquid.

These two combined factors gave him the ability to fight opponents of higher levels.

Now, if he could gather the complete Three Thousand Weak Waters, it wouldn't matter much even if the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid had minimal effect on him.

Not to mention that he could obtain another Dou Emperor Pill!

That's another trump card for survival.

"Heh, a mere Qi Gathering Powder?"

Upon hearing this, the man who had been slapped couldn't help but sneer, "Do you know who refined this Qi Gathering Powder? And its value?"

"Isn't it refined by Gu He? Normally, a Qi Gathering Powder is only a hundred thousand gold coins, I'll say two hundred thousand gold coins, is that enough?"

Xiao Lang smiled. You want to show off and slap my face in front of me? I must say, you're still too naive.

"..."

The man was instantly choked, and the smug smile on his face froze.

But he quickly recovered, looking at Xiao Lang disdainfully and saying, "Two hundred thousand gold coins, you say that so lightly. Can your Xiao family casually produce two hundred thousand gold coins to give away?"

"No."

Xiao Lang shook his head, saying with a look of disgust, "I can't do something as shabby as giving away two hundred thousand gold coins. It's too embarrassing."

"..."

This time, not only was the man choked, but everyone present except Xiao Yan was stunned by Xiao Lang's sudden reversal.

Especially Xiao Zhan, who wished he could cover Xiao Lang's mouth and make him shut up.

After a brief moment of shock, the man instead burst into arrogant laughter, but the bright red slap mark on his face made him wince in pain.

He looked at Xiao Lang and said, "You said two hundred thousand gold coins is shabby and embarrassing. You really are bragging without consequence. If you can actually produce two hundred thousand gold coins, I'll call you Grandpa!"

Snap.

Ten cloth bags filled with gold coins were taken out of the Storage Ring by Xiao Lang and thrown before everyone.

"..."

Staring at the ten bags piled high like mountains of gold coins, everyone was dumbfounded.

If it had been a card worth two million gold coins, the impact wouldn't have been this great, but these were ten bags of gold!

It was like having two million in cash placed right in front of you; that kind of impact was not something an ordinary person could endure.

At this moment, everyone looked at the young man with strange expressions.

If he called someone Grandpa for two hundred thousand gold coins, would he have to call them Grandpa ten times for two million?

"Stunned, aren't you? Don't think you can show off in front of me just because you have a little money."

Xiao Lang sneered, but he didn't dwell on it further. Humiliating a minor character like this was uninteresting.

"Here are two million gold coins. Take them and get lost. Go tell Yun Yun of the Misty Cloud Sect that fortunes change; today's disgrace will be repaid tomorrow. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't bully a young man for being poor. In three years, I will bring my brother to the Misty Cloud Sect to seek justice!"

After speaking, Xiao Lang's gaze fell upon the shocked Nalan Yanran. He ordered someone to bring writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then wrote a letter of divorce, saying:

"And you, Nalan Yanran, today I, Xiao Lang, will divorce you on behalf of my brother!"

"How dare you come to my Xiao family to break off the engagement and humiliate my brother with this annulment! I, Xiao Lang, will absolutely not agree!"

With that, he threw the letter of divorce on the ground and coldly swept his gaze over the Misty Cloud Sect group.

Seeing their panicked and bewildered eyes and expressions, Xiao Lang had only one word in his heart at this moment.

That was...

Satisfaction!

Indeed, besides chasing girls, nothing felt better in life than showing off and slapping faces.

"You... you..."

Looking at the letter of divorce, Nalan Yanran's face was filled with shock, and at the same time, a surge of indignant humiliation washed over her. Gritting her teeth, she stared at Xiao Lang, so angry she couldn't speak clearly.

"Who do you think you are? This is between your brother and me. Can you make the decision?"

Nalan Yanran forced herself to calm down and spoke, looking at Xiao Yan. Before she could ask, Xiao Yan stepped forward with a cold expression, looking angrily at Nalan Yanran and the Misty Cloud Sect members, saying:

"What my third brother said is exactly what I, Xiao Yan, think. Today, I will not only divorce you, but in three years, I will definitely set foot in the Misty Cloud Sect to seek justice!"

The humiliation of the broken engagement was irreconcilable!

At this moment, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his fingers almost piercing his flesh.

What man could endure the humiliation of his fiancée bringing people to his home to break off their engagement?

If it weren't for his fear of the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Yan would have wanted to kill Nalan Yanran right now!

"Calm down, little brother."

Xiao Lang looked at Xiao Yan's state and felt a pang of heartache. He placed a hand on his shoulder and gently patted it to comfort him, saying:

"In three years, your third brother will definitely take you to the Misty Cloud Sect and let the world see that my Xiao Lang's brother is no ordinary person!"

"Thank you, third brother." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Lang's resolute eyes, and his heart warmed, seemingly washing away much of the humiliation. He wasn't as angry as before.

Then, he looked at Nalan Yanran and said, "In three years, I will come find you!"

"Three years? Even if your talent was once unmatched, you are now a cripple!"

Nalan Yanran said with shame and anger, "I, Nalan Yanran, will wait for the day you surpass me again. I won't bring up the annulment of the engagement today, but in three years, I will wait for you at the Misty Cloud Sect. If you have the ability, show me how far you can rise! If you can defeat me then, I, Nalan Yanran, will be your servant and maid for life, whatever you say!"

"Since the Three-Year Pact is set, take these things and pick up this letter of divorce and get lost."

Xiao Lang didn't want to waste any more words, as the system's reward had already been issued, and he was eager to absorb the remaining two portions of Three Thousand Weak Waters.
