Sign In Xiao Xun'er!

Xiao Xun'er didn't hesitate when Hun Han extended his hand. She took it and said kindly, "Yes, Brother Hun Han, it's nice to meet you. You'll be my first friend too!"

You'll be my first friend too!

Hun Han was secretly surprised, looking at the little girl before him. After a moment's thought, he understood.

Like him, Xiao Xun'er had a powerful father behind her, and both were born into one of the eight ancient clans. In such a background, the strong would never befriend the weak, and the weak needed to rely on the strong. Their intentions were impure. Furthermore, they had to constantly guard against hidden enemies. Making friends was truly very, very difficult.

Hun Han met the little girl's gaze, a strange sense of resonance stirring in his heart. In some ways, he and the girl before him were so similar.

Hun Han now understood a little of why Gu Yuan had sent Xiao Xun'er to the Xiao Family in Wutan City – to give her a stable and peaceful childhood.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, you've had physical contact with Gu Xun'er (Xiao Xun'er), and successfully signed in. You've obtained the Dou Technique: Overlord Fist!"

Overlord Fist: A close-combat Dou Technique from ancient times, created by a generation of overlords. This Dou Technique has no specific rank. If one can master its profound mysteries, its power is comparable to a Heaven-tier High-grade Dou Technique. Furthermore, it can enhance the explosive power of this Dou Technique as physical strength increases.

Holy crap, I actually got a growth-type Dou Technique from Gu Xun'er! Hun Han marveled inwardly.

It can enhance the explosive power of this Dou Technique as physical strength increases. Wasn't this saying that, like the Fallen Heart Flame, it was a growth-type Dou Technique?

Hun Han looked at Xiao Xun'er again, thinking she truly lived up to her status as an important character in the storyline. The item he obtained from signing in with her was actually a growth-type Dou Technique. Its practicality was even greater than the Teleportation Star Disk he obtained from signing in with Hun Tiandi.

A growth-type Dou Technique could be used for a lifetime!

The duration of a hug between people should be no more than three seconds. Any longer, and it would cause unnecessary thoughts and anxieties.

No more, no less, Hun Han held Xiao Xun'er's hand for three seconds before letting go. As for her, she couldn't understand at all where the surprise in Hun Han's eyes was coming from.

Thinking of how Hun Han had shielded her from the sword just now, Xiao Xun'er was deeply moved.

Xiao Xun'er asked, "Brother Hun Han, what attribute is your spiritual root?"

Hun Han replied, "I have an All-Attribute Spiritual Root!"

Xiao Xun'er was taken aback, "All-Attribute Spiritual Root?"

Hun Han nodded, "Yes, my body possesses all attributes, so I can cultivate any attribute of Dou Qi!"

Xiao Xun'er looked at Hun Han as if he were a monster. An All-Attribute Spiritual Root Fighter was unheard of, even within the entire Ancient Clan. Yet, here was a Fighter with such a rare physique.

Despite her shock, Xiao Xun'er's fingers touched her Storage Ring. With a flick of her slender finger, an ancient scroll, entirely colored like fire jade, appeared in her hand.

"This is a Black-tier High-grade Cultivation Method for the Fire Attribute, the Flame Vanquishing Art!"

Xiao Xun'er handed over the scroll and said softly, "Brother Hun Han, I'll give this to you!"

Hun Han was stunned.

Flame Vanquishing Art?

Isn't this the Cultivation Method that Xiao Xun'er was supposed to give to Xiao Yan in the Xiao Family's Dou Qi Pavilion according to the storyline?

Flame Vanquishing Art!

What a strange name!

Hun Han smiled and didn't take the scroll, shaking his head. "No, thank you."

Xiao Xun'er stroked the scroll and persuaded, "Brother Hun Han, you don't need to feel awkward. You're Xun'er's friend, and you just saved Xun'er's life. A High-grade Cultivation Method is very beneficial for a Fighter's cultivation. Please, accept it!"

Hun Han gave a wry smile. Saving her life? How could that be? His eyes swept over their surroundings. With his "god's-eye view," Hun Han knew that a peak Dou Huang expert was hidden near Xiao Xun'er – Ling Ying.

Surely, even if I hadn't intervened, that hidden guardian would have protected Xiao Xun'er's safety, right?

Though, I don't understand why Ling Ying didn't act in that situation. And it's not just that. In the days to come, someone would sneak into Gu Xun'er's room every night, and Ling Ying still wouldn't react at all. Hun Han found it all very confusing.

Perhaps there's some unspoken command between Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, or between Gu Yuan and Ling Ying.

Thump, thump, thump.

From the forest by the pipeline, came the sounds of several things hitting the ground. It seemed Ling Ying had finally acted, dispatching the bandits who had offended Xiao Xun'er one by one in the forest.

Hun Han said with a smile, "Really, no need. It's not that I'm too embarrassed to accept your gift. The reason I'm not accepting it is because I have an even better Cultivation Method!"

Xiao Xun'er asked softly, "Really?"

Hun Han nodded affirmatively. "Mm."

The Qi Cultivation Method I possess is Heaven-tier, far surpassing the Black-tier High-grade Cultivation Method Xiao Xun'er is giving me. Once Hun Han condensed his Dou Qi vortex, he could cultivate that supreme technique, which was rumored to allow one to become an Emperor without needing Origin Qi.

Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er said helplessly, "I'll believe you for now!"

Hun Han touched his Storage Ring and flicked his finger, retrieving two Foundation Lollipops. He handed one to Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er slightly shook her head and refused, "I don't like things that are too sweet."

Hun Han smiled, "This isn't very sweet. And it's not an ordinary lollipop!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er took the lollipop from Hun Han's hand, extended her small tongue, and took a lick. Instantly, a sweet energy flowed down her throat, nourishing her delicate body.

"This..."

Xiao Xun'er was stunned.

Hun Han explained, "This is called a Foundation Lollipop. It can quickly improve a Fighter's cultivation in the Dou Qi stage. It's a type of Pill, really. Moreover, its medicinal properties are mild and have no side effects."

Xiao Xun'er was astonished. Even the Ancient Clan didn't have such an item. She looked at Hun Han again.

Hun Han wore a water-blue robe, finely crafted, clearly indicating he wasn't from an ordinary family. Xiao Xun'er pondered this, then curiously asked, "Brother Hun Han, were you sent out by your family too?"

Hun Han paused slightly before replying, "You could say that. My father never liked me much. He sent me away when I was still very young."

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er looked at Hun Han with pity, her heart filled with sympathy for him.

"Little sister Xun'er, you said just now that you're going to Wutan City?"

"Yes."

"Little sister Xun'er, you must be careful then. I've heard there's a bad person in Wutan City."

"A bad person?"

"Yes, that bad person, I don't know his name, but he's about your height. Every night, around midnight, he sneaks into people's rooms, especially women's rooms, and particularly those of little girls like you."

"Really?"

"Mm-hmm."

"What does he do?"

"I don't know. But sneaking into someone's room in the dead of night, it can't be anything good! Besides taking advantage or molesting, I can't imagine what else he'd be doing. You really need to be careful!"

As a four-year-old child harboring the mind of an adult, Hun Han, a transmigrator, felt deeply ashamed of certain people's actions.

Since Xiao Xun'er was his first friend, Hun Han took the opportunity along the way to educate her on some things he knew.
