The Moon Doesn't Sleep, Nor Do I; The Moon Doesn't Rise, Nor Do I

"..."

Hearing Xiao Lang's nonsensical words, everyone's mouths twitched.

They thought Xiao Lang's strength had improved and his illness was cured, but unexpectedly, it had gotten worse.

Who would spend a hundred gold coins to learn this? Isn't that just pure madness?

"Can I learn the move you just used for a hundred gold coins?"

There were still some intelligent people who saw the extraordinary nature of Xiao Lang's previous move.

"Of course, you can learn it!"

Xiao Lang nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Then I'll learn!"

This person quickly paid a hundred gold coins and looked at Xiao Lang excitedly, asking, "Third Young Master, can you teach me now?"

"Of course." Xiao Lang put the gold coins into his own pocket and then whispered in the man's ear, "First, do this, then do that, understand?"

"..."

The man's mouth twitched, and he said, "Third Young Master, this is my hard-earned money. It's not right to trick me like this, is it?"

"You only said 'this and that.' What exactly is 'this and that'? Tell me!"

"This is your lack of comprehension, it has nothing to do with me. Refunding the money is impossible." Xiao Lang said and prepared to slip away.

Really, a hundred gold coins to buy my Profound Tier Mid-grade Dou Skill? Are you an idiot, or do you think I'm an idiot?

He hadn't forgotten that this kid's name was on his little notebook. Daring to call him a good-for-nothing was the consequence.

"However, seeing as you're pitiful, if you give me another ten gold coins, I'll buy you something as compensation." Xiao Lang turned back with a look of unbearable pity.

"Really?"

Xiao Feng was somewhat doubtful.

"I swear on my honor, if I don't buy you something, may lightning strike me!" Xiao Lang said righteously, raising three fingers.

"Fine, here."

Seeing Xiao Lang swear, Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and took out another ten gold coins, handing them to Xiao Lang.

After pocketing the ten gold coins, Xiao Lang rummaged in his pocket and then looked at Xiao Feng, saying, "Here, I'll give you the item. I guarantee it will be of great use on your future life path!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Could it be a method to become a Dou Practitioner overnight?"

"No, it's a lesson."

Xiao Lang showed a sunny smile and said, "Ten gold coins to buy you a lesson, to tell you that you shouldn't be too greedy in life, or you'll lose everything."

"Xiao Lang, you're going too far! This is simply bullying!" Xiao Feng immediately knew he had been tricked and said angrily.

"Xiao Zhan, is this the good son you raised? Cheating even your own family's money?" Seeing this, the Second Elder stepped forward and said sarcastically.

Xiao Feng was from his own faction.

"Cough, cough, since that's the case, as a pure passerby, I'll say a fair word."

Xiao Zhan stepped forward and looked at Xiao Feng, saying:

"I think this is a very valuable lesson in your life. These gold coins were well spent!"

"It's fortunate this happened within your own family. If it were outside, your greedy nature might have cost you your life. So, you should thank Xiao Lang for saving your life!"

"..."

Listening to Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Feng's eyes became unfocused.

Is it really like this?

"..."

Everyone's mouths twitched again.

This was blatant favoritism.

However, no one dared to say anything more. One was the Xiao family patriarch, and the other was an eight-year-old Dou Practitioner. They couldn't afford to offend either of them.

"Son, tell us how you broke through."

To change the subject, Xiao Zhan had no choice but to ask Xiao Lang how he cultivated so quickly.

However, he more strongly believed that his son was hiding his true strength.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone to break through from Three Stages of Dou Power to Dou Practitioner overnight.

Hearing this, the Second Elder, who had originally wanted to say a few more words, also shut his mouth and looked at Xiao Lang.

But after waiting for several minutes, Xiao Lang remained motionless. Just as Xiao Zhan was about to speak, Xiao Lang finally opened his mouth.

"Ask in the evening, arrive in the morning."

Xiao Lang scanned the crowd and said, "There are some geniuses who don't rely on diligent cultivation but on comprehending the Dao."

"I assume you are also very curious why the Dou Skills I use are not from the Xiao family?"

"That's because I had an epiphany last night. Not only did my strength surge, but I also learned several Dou Skills."

After speaking, Xiao Lang ignored whether the others believed him and returned to his room, cursing under his breath.

I've been waiting so long and still no system choices, useless system!

Boom!

Boom!

Just as Xiao Lang left, the system reward of +2 levels caused Mo Lang to break through consecutively, directly reaching Three-star Dou Practitioner!

"Strange, why do I feel that kid's aura has become stronger again?"

Watching Xiao Lang's retreating back, the Second Elder frowned and said.

"I have that feeling too."

The First Elder and Third Elder also frowned.

However, they didn't pay it much mind. After all, who would break through again just by walking?

Back in his room.

Xiao Lang eagerly opened the system to check his rewards.

Kyōka Suigetsu: Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill. It can absorb and reflect an opponent's attack three times, with the highest damage it can withstand being one major level higher than the host's!

"It can reflect damage from a major level higher!"

Upon seeing the introduction for [Kyōka Suigetsu], Xiao Lang's eyes widened, and excitement flickered within them.

Now that he was a Three-star Dou Practitioner, it meant he could reflect attacks from a Three-star Dou Master three times. This gave him a certain degree of self-preservation in Wutan City!

However, it was still not enough. It seemed he needed to go out more and see if he could trigger system choices.

Evening.

Xiao Lang secretly went to Xiao Xun'er's room again to help her nourish her body. After all, a loli isn't raised in a day. He'd take it slow; he was still young now.

But after Xiao Lang left, Xiao Xun'er opened her eyes. Her fair, slightly chubby baby face was flushed, but as if recalling something, her small lips parted, and her eyes were filled with surprise.

Because she remembered that when Xiao Lang was helping her nourish her body last night, he indeed only had Three Stages of Dou Power. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unsteady when she stood up.

So, that meant Xiao Lang's words during the day – 'Asking the Way in the Evening, Achieving it in the Morning'...

Was true!

But could someone on the Dou Qi Continent really break through by epiphany without cultivating?

Filled with doubt, Xiao Xun'er slowly fell asleep. After all, no matter how smart Xiao Xun'er was, she was only a four or five-year-old child.

The next day.

"Third Young Master, wake up! Someone from the Misty Cloud Sect is here!"

Just as Xiao Lang was lying in bed, controlling his urine to fly to the outhouse, a joyful voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Lang was so startled he almost peed himself. Fortunately, his technique was skilled enough, and he only ended up wetting the bed.

"Who is it! Don't they know the moon doesn't sleep when I don't sleep, and the moon doesn't rise when I don't rise? Calling someone at eleven in the morning, this is simply insane!"

Xiao Lang, pulling up his pants, opened the door, saying with an impatient expression.

His title as the "King of Slacking" had long spread throughout the Xiao family. And someone was calling him to wake up so early?

"It is rumored that the Xiao family's Third Young Master had an epiphany overnight and broke through to become a Dou Practitioner at the age of eight. We apologize for the intrusion and hope the Third Young Master will not take offense."

Just then, a pleasant voice sounded, and a group of people walked over.

Xiao Lang heard this and looked closely.

Misty Cloud Sect?

Yun Yun?
