Time passed quickly.
One day, Xiao Lang was making beggar's chicken in the courtyard.
He then heard his father complaining beside him.
"Damn Jia Lie Bi, he really has good luck. After losing so much money, he actually came back from the brink of death."
Xiao Zhan said while eating the beggar's chicken, cursing. His eating manners weren't the best, with oil all over his mouth and face.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Xiao Yan was clearly also present. After all, unless he was at a critical breakthrough moment, he would always come to Xiao Lang's courtyard for lunch.
He asked while blowing on his food.
After the beggar's chicken cooled down, he immediately tore off a chicken leg and began to devour it.
"I heard Jia Lie Bi invited a first-grade Alchemist from somewhere..."
Xiao Xun'er was more ladylike. She pouted her rosy lips, gently exhaled, and blew on the beggar's chicken while explaining what had been happening recently.
"Sigh, Xun'er sister, by the time you blow it cool, the day will be long gone."
Seeing Xiao Xun'er like this, Xiao Lang shook his head helplessly. He tore off a chicken leg, brought it to his lips, and blew on it. After checking the temperature with his tongue to ensure it was cool enough, he handed it to Xiao Xun'er and said, "Here, it's not hot anymore."
"Thank you, Xiao Lang Gege."
Xiao Xun'er blushed upon seeing this. But then she thought, since they had already kissed, what was a little saliva? She then generously began to eat.
"Sigh, Yan'er, if you were as proactive as your third brother, I wouldn't have to worry about you being single your whole life," Xiao Zhan sighed upon seeing this.
"..."
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. He said with a resentful expression, "I already have a fiancée, you know! It's just that I divorced her!"
Although Xiao Yan pretended to be relaxed and brought up the annulment, all three of them knew that this was an unforgettable humiliation for Xiao Yan.
Unless he won that promised duel two years later and cleared his name, he would never truly let it go.
After all...
Being dumped by a woman at her home was the greatest humiliation in any man's life!
"Besides, all the pretty girls in Wutan City have their hearts set on third brother. I wouldn't dare..."
Xiao Yan remembered how every time he went out with his third brother, those girls would act like they'd taken aphrodisiacs and throw themselves at him.
He envied him from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention last night, when he accidentally saw Ya Fei and third brother's intimate moments under the table, Xiao Yan became even more envious.
One should know that Ya Fei's figure and looks were so captivating that even people in the back rows of the auction house would do lewd things while looking at her.
This was enough to show Ya Fei's charm.
He never expected that Ya Fei, a rose with thorns, would eventually fall into third brother's hands.
And then there was Xiao Yu's confession yesterday morning. Not to mention the mysterious girl Xiao Xun'er, anyone with eyes could see that she liked his third brother.
These three were the cream of the crop. As for Xiao Mei, who was born with a seductive bone, she seemed to have already fallen for his third brother, and was gathering information about him through me.
Thinking of this gave him a headache. If he traveled the continent with his third brother in the future, wouldn't all the women they met be snatched away by his third brother?
"Yeah, Xiao Lang Gege is very charming, and he's always flirting around..."
Xiao Xun'er also said, while eating her chicken leg, and looked at Xiao Lang with a hint of resentment.
"You can't blame me for that. After all, I can't stop them from pursuing the right to love. Them liking me is their business, whether I like them or not is my own business," Xiao Lang immediately spouted some scummy guy logic.
"Then do you like me?" Xiao Xun'er relentlessly pressed on.
"If I can only like one person in this lifetime, then only Xun'er sister can have my heart and body."
Xiao Lang said it without hesitation.
Why else would a woman ask so many questions if not to hear what she wanted to hear?
Whether it was true or not, she herself didn't care, so why should you?
Never say those vague, meaningless words.
Like "I don't know," "I'm not sure," or "I love you now."
Thinking you're being sincere and responsible, but in reality, it will only backfire.
This is important, so those who want to date, take out your notebooks and jot this down.
Women are emotional creatures. They just want you to say nice things about them. It doesn't cost money to say them. If you can't even do that, then you deserve to be single.
"Tch, silver-tongued!" Xiao Xun'er rolled her eyes and couldn't help but playfully scold, "Who wants your body, you shameless pervert!"
Although she said that, the smile in her eyes showed that she was very happy.
It couldn't be helped. When a girl likes you, whether your words are true or false doesn't matter as much.
Unless it's a selective question, or a question she suspects.
If you encounter a drama queen, it's best to find someone else and not waste your time.
"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan couldn't help but give Xiao Lang a thumbs-up in their hearts.
At the same time, Xiao Zhan was troubled, how much betrothal gift would he have to prepare in the future?
Would it bankrupt the Xiao family?
"Alright, you guys eat. I need to find the Great Elder and the others to discuss countermeasures. Otherwise, if this continues, I won't even be able to afford the betrothal gifts for you four brothers to get married."
Thinking of the betrothal gifts, Xiao Zhan remembered the first-grade Alchemist Jia Lie Bi had hired.
He couldn't help but sigh, "If only I could meet an Alchemist too."
"Ding! Facing the crisis the Xiao family is about to encounter, you choose..."
Just then, a system voice sounded in Xiao Lang's mind.
Immediately, the system's choices appeared before his eyes.
[Choice 1: Directly slaughter all the forces of the Jia Lie Family! Mission completion reward: Level +1! Ten Level 1 Enhancement Stones! Wind Attribute Fighting Skill power and effect increased by 10%!]
[Choice 2: Kill the Alchemist Liu Xi! Mission completion reward: Level +1, twenty Level 1 Enhancement Stones! Wind and Lightning Attribute Fighting Skill power and effect increased by 10%!]
[Choice 3: Slaughter the Jia Lie Family to eliminate future troubles and kill Liu Xi. Mission completion reward: Level +2! Ten Level 2 Enhancement Stones! Water, Wind, and Lightning Attribute Fighting Skill power and effect increased by 10%!]
[Choice 4: Turn a blind eye and continue to lie low. Mission completion reward: Level +2!]
Looking at the four options, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in Xiao Lang's eyes.
Since that was the case, then let the Jia Lie Family and Liu Xi die.
Xiao Lang was not a saint. He had kept the Jia Lie Family around before, thinking that a choice might be triggered later.
But now that a choice had been triggered, there was no need to keep them.
As for Liu Xi's master, a third-grade Alchemist and a six-star Dou Grandmaster, he alone was enough!
Perhaps it could even allow him to break through another small level.
Similarly, it would also prevent the Misty Cloud Sect elders from destroying the Xiao family later and secretly instigating the Jia Lie Family to annihilate the Xiao family.
After all, he wouldn't have the time to bother with the affairs of the small Wutan City then.
Once the "Dragon King Plan" was activated, his target would be the behemoth-like forces on the Dou Qi Continent.
With this thought, he stood up directly and said, "Dad, leave this to me."
"Dad, leave this to me." After discussing with Old Yao, Xiao Yan also stood up and said.
