Nalan Yanran's Plan, Fourth Simulation: Not Human?

Xiao Yan, who was some distance away, saw Ye Hao appear.

He stood face-to-face with Xun Er.

They said something, but they were too far away for him to hear!

Still, he clearly saw Xun Er's expression darken at once, as if she might burst into tears at any moment!

Xiao Yan's heart ached terribly. Rolling up his sleeves, he charged over furiously.

He grabbed Ye Hao by the collar.

"Kid!! You actually bullied a girl? Are you even a man?!"

Ye Hao had been wondering when he should tell her his identity.

But!

At that moment.

A self-righteous Xiao "Boiling Goat" Yan suddenly rushed over!!

And immediately got physical with him!

Then asked whether he was a man?

He wanted to know, did he?

Without holding back, Ye Hao countered with an over-the-shoulder throw, cleanly and decisively slamming Xiao Yan to the ground.

Then he followed up with a kick to Xiao Yan's stomach.

Sending him skidding more than ten meters along the ground before he crashed into the wall opposite and finally stopped!

During that brief physical contact, Ye Hao discovered that the Dou Qi inside Xiao Yan was somewhat stronger than the third stage of Dou Power he had possessed when they last met.

Old Yao in the ring must have awakened.

With Old Yao's help, even though Ye Hao had already reached Eight-star Da Dou Shi within this month, he was not certain he could defeat him!

Otherwise, that kick just now would not merely have injured him.

It would have killed him on the spot!

Xiao Yan struggled to his feet, feeling that Ye Hao had made him lose face before Xun Er.

He immediately shouted in his heart, "Teacher, help me kill this bastard! I want him dead without a burial place!!"

"Xiao Yan, no!" Old Yao hurriedly stopped him.

Xiao Yan was baffled. "Why??!"

Old Yao said gravely, "This boy is about your age, yet he is already an Eight-star Da Dou Shi. He is certainly no ordinary person. There may even be powerful experts hiding nearby! If we strike now, not only might we fail to kill him, but we could also expose my existence! You and I might even both die here!"

What?

He... he was actually an Eight-star Da Dou Shi?

How was that possible!

Xiao Yan trembled all over with jealousy.

Old Yao continued, "You must remember: as long as there are green hills, there will be firewood to burn!!"

"Besides, with me here, his temporary lead does not mean he will always remain ahead!"

Old Yao had no confidence in other matters, but he was extremely confident in his own alchemy skills.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth.

Three years ago, before Old Yao began absorbing his Dou Qi, he had promised that one day, he would at least make Xiao Yan one of the top experts in the Jia Ma Empire!

He believed Old Yao would not deceive him.

Xiao Yan glared viciously at Ye Hao.

"Kid, just you wait. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not bully the poor young man! Today's humiliation, one day I will repay a hundredfold!"

After delivering his threat, Xiao Yan looked reluctantly at Xun Er before finally leaving unwillingly.

"Sorry for causing you trouble."

After saying that, Xun Er gave the Blacksmith Shop one last deep look, took a few steps—

Then suddenly turned back to look at Ye Hao, whose face was unfamiliar to her!

Over the next few months.

Ye Hao did not simply wait for the system to refresh his simulation attempts while doing nothing!

During the day, he honed his alchemy skills.

The medicinal ingredients required for alchemy, as well as the Gold Coins used to buy them, were all provided by the Gale Family.

Not long ago, Galeo Bi's severe injuries had refused to heal. After enduring endless torment, he finally died.

As for Galeo, he was treated as a criminal. Jia Lie Nu broke his legs, locked him in a room, and left him to starve to death.

After draining the Gale Family's wealth, Ye Hao fed them to the magical beasts outside the city.

Along the way, he also returned to the Miter Auction House to purchase medicinal ingredients he needed.

And gathered information in Wu Tan City.

At night, Ye Hao continued cultivating Dou Qi on the second floor opposite Ye's Blacksmith Shop.

After several months of diligent cultivation, his strength had reached Two-star Dou Ling.

However, on several nights, Ye Hao sensed an Eight-star Dou Emperor coming near him. They never stayed long before leaving.

Each time, he promptly used his powerful Soul Power to conceal his true strength and prevent the other party from seeing through him.

Afterward, he guessed that Ling Ying had possibly come under orders to find someone.

Ye Hao wore a mask, so he was not recognized.

Likewise, throughout these months, Nalan Yanran had never given up searching for him!

She requisitioned the Aoba Family's people and conducted a carpet search throughout Wu Tan City.

Yet she still could not find him.

Ge Ye was at his wit's end. He could not persuade her to stop, nor did he dare forcibly take her back to the Misty Cloud Sect!

Even when they received news that Ye Hao had already left Wu Tan City, Nalan Yanran refused to believe it. She stubbornly remained in Wu Tan City for several months.

When they still could not find him, she instead complained bitterly to Ge Ye. If Ge Ye had not stopped her, Nalan Yanran would have stormed into the Aoba Family's home and berated them!

They were utterly unreliable at handling matters.

Things had reached this point, so she had no choice but to leave Wu Tan City.

However!

She had already made up her mind.

Once she returned to the Misty Cloud Sect, not only would she ask her teacher to send people to help search, she would also mobilize the Nalan Family's resources!

She refused to believe it!

With the influence of the Misty Cloud Sect and the Nalan Family in the Jia Ma Empire, could they really fail to find her Hao Gege!

But there was still one matter she had to finish before returning to the Misty Cloud Sect.

On Wu Tan City's walls.

With his arms folded, Ye Hao watched Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye ride away.

"She's finally gone. Nalan Yanran really acts without considering the consequences. What a headache."

Ye Hao glanced at the countdown for simulation attempts on the system interface.

It would refresh at midnight tonight!

He could barely wait to see what this Fourth Simulation would be like.

Soon, night blanketed the land.

Wu Tan City gradually quieted amid its bustling activity.

On the second floor opposite Ye's Blacksmith Shop.

Ye Hao stared intently at the system countdown!

As the number displayed there became a string of zeros.

The available simulation attempts changed to 1.

"System, use one simulation attempt."

[Ding, simulation attempt successfully used.]

[Initiating simulation attempt...]

[Explosive Good Luck shall always accompany you.]

With good luck in hand, the world was mine!

They said things never happened more than three times!

The first three simulations had all failed to reach Dou Saint. This time, there should be a breakthrough, right!

[You were born in the Monster Mountain Range.]

[This time, your luck is exceptionally good.]

[You are not human.]

"??"

"System, send a kiss to your mother! Who are you calling names?!"

"Is that any way to talk?"

[You became a Purple Crystal Winged Lion King cub.]

[You were originally the crown prince of the Monster Mountain Range.]

Ye Hao: "..."

So he was a magical beast!

Say that clearly!

Wait!

Could this Purple Crystal Winged Lion King be that one!!

Or was it his ancestor?

[Not long after your birth, your parents failed while advancing to Seventh-order magical beasts and both perished!]

[You became an orphan, but blessed with good luck, you obtained the vast cultivation resources your parents left behind.]

"This system must be sick!"

"And seriously sick at that!"

Ye Hao was too weak to even complain.

However, it also made him understand that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the simulator was not the same one as the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in reality.

[You feared that news of your parents' deaths would spread and threaten your life.]

[You began going out less. You cultivated diligently during the day, then went out to hunt for food at night while the other magical beasts rested.]

[You grew up in constant fear.]

[One day, a powerful magical beast came to the Monster Mountain Range.]

[When you prepared to return home, you discovered that your Cave Mansion had already been occupied by the other party.]

[Because the gap in strength between you was too great, you chose to avoid the enemy's edge and went to the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.]

[You found a small valley rich in medicinal ingredients and settled there.]

[Before long, other magical beasts discovered you.]

[They often came to bully you. Unable to defeat them, you could only live a life of hiding everywhere, without a fixed home.]

[You secretly swore that one day, you would return!]

[You would make the magical beasts that bullied you bow their heads in submission and make the magical beast that occupied your Cave Mansion kneel and beg for mercy.]
