A Woman Three Years Older, a Brick of Gold; Ten Years Older, Worth Every Bit?

[You were brought back to the Jia Ma Empire Royal Family by the guards!]

[Jia Xing Tian learned that his son and daughter-in-law had been taken by the Snake People Tribe. Furious, he gathered the Jia Ma Empire's experts and launched a war under the pretext that the Snake People Tribe was about to invade the Jia Ma Empire!]

[The experts of the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake People Tribe fought in the desert outside Desert City for nearly a year!]

[In the end, a temporary truce was reached after Hai Bodong had his Dou Qi sealed by Medusa.]

[Jia Xing Tian returned to the royal palace and discovered that your talent was extraordinarily heaven-defying. He began preparing to focus on cultivating you!]

[He devised a special cultivation plan for you.]

[He hoped that one day, you could accomplish the great feat he had failed to achieve!]

[In the blink of an eye, three years passed!]

[You were three years old.]

[Jia Xing Tian began teaching you how to cultivate according to the plan.]

[You succeeded in drawing Dou Qi into your body on your very first attempt!]

[Jia Xing Tian wept tears of joy.]

[He told you to cultivate diligently, and once you were strong enough, go to the Snake People Tribe to find out where your parents were!]

[You were still young and could not fully understand, but you nodded firmly nonetheless.]

[Because you noticed that, aside from yourself, all your other cousins in the palace had their parents with them.]

[Although you had Grandfather by your side, you still felt very lonely inside.]

[Thus, you threw yourself wholeheartedly into cultivation.]

[You progressed at an astonishing rate.]

[Your younger cousins Yao Yue and Yao Ye were stunned.]

[Yao Yue and Yao Ye wanted to play with you, but you, with your heart set solely on cultivation, refused them.]

[Jia Xing Tian also issued an order that no one was to disturb your cultivation, or they would be expelled from the royal family!]

[Another three years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[At the age of six, you successfully entered the Dou Zhe realm!]

[Jia Xing Tian personally tested your Dou Qi affinity and discovered that you had a lightning attribute.]

[After tremendous effort, he found you a Mysterious Grade High Rank lightning-attribute cultivation method.]

[With a suitable cultivation method, your cultivation speed became even faster.]

[You felt as though an accelerator had been installed inside your body, madly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.]

[You were very satisfied with this state.]

[You cultivated day and night!]

[Jia Xing Tian asked Fama to refine all kinds of medicinal pills for you.]

[By the age of eight, you had become a Dou Master.]

[You began cultivating lightning-attribute Dou Techniques!]

[Jia Xing Tian arranged several guards to serve as your sparring partners. In one-on-one fights, you defeated them with ease.]

[You told Jia Xing Tian that you wanted to fight ten at once.]

[Then, you fought ten guards and narrowly won.]

[You continued cultivating. Over the following years, you advanced by one major realm each year and soon reached the peak of the Dou Ling realm!]

[Yun Shan learned that your talent was so terrifying that he feared you would become an obstacle to the Misty Cloud Sect's path toward greater heights.]

[However, he had not yet reached the Dou Zong realm and could not threaten Jia Xing Tian.]

[After much deliberation, he finally made a decision!]

[That day, you had just finished cultivating.]

[Jia Xing Tian sent someone to summon you to the palace reception hall.]

[You arrived at the reception hall.]

[You met two strangers.]

[Jia Xing Tian introduced them to you: "Hao Er, this is Yun Shan, the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect. This is his disciple, Yun Yun. She is only around ten years older than you."]

[Yun Shan smiled and took over, saying, "A woman three years older is a brick of gold; a woman ten years older is worth every bit!"]

[Yun Yun's cheeks instantly flushed scarlet.]

[You stepped forward and politely said, "Greetings, Sect Master Yun Shan. Sister Yun Yun..."]

[When you first saw Yun Yun, her graceful and noble bearing made your eyes light up!]

[Compared to Yao Ye and Yao Yue, Yun Yun, who was ten years older than you, made your still-innocent heart race for no reason, whether it was her appearance or her voluptuous figure.]

[You understood what Jia Xing Tian and Yun Shan meant. They intended to arrange an engagement between you and Yun Yun.]

[However, you believed that women would only affect your cultivation speed!]

[Jia Xing Tian believed that the royal family's foundation combined with the Misty Cloud Sect's strength would make for a powerful alliance, so he agreed to your marriage with Yun Yun.]

[Seizing the moment, Yun Shan decided that your engagement ceremony would be held three years later, and that you would formally marry six years later.]

[Once everything was settled, Yun Shan left Yun Yun behind and departed alone.]

[You and Yun Yun looked into each other's eyes, and for a moment, you did not know what to do.]

[Likewise, Yun Yun's pretty face was crimson as her hands constantly twisted the hem of her dress.]

[You thought that, as a man, you should be the first to break the awkward silence.]

[You said, "I heard that Sister Yun Yun is a Dou Emperor. Could you teach me how to cultivate and spar with me in Dou Techniques?"]

[Yun Yun shyly agreed.]

[From then on, you cultivated together.]

[From sunrise to sunset, you were always together.]

[Another three years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[You reached the Dou Wang Peak, and the gap between you and Yun Yun grew smaller and smaller.]

[Not only was Yun Yun not displeased in the slightest, she often wore the smile of a young woman.]

[In your spare time, you even helped Yun Yun guide the cultivation of her newly accepted disciple, Nalan Yanran.]

[Soon, the day of your engagement arrived. The ceremony was held in the royal palace of the Jia Ma Empire Royal Family.]

[The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful ornaments, creating an especially festive atmosphere.]

[Influential figures and major factions throughout the Jia Ma Empire were invited to attend.]

[Within the crowd stood a voluptuous figure whose gaze remained fixed on you. Her eyes held an unconcealable, extraordinary glimmer.]

[You did not notice her presence.]

[As you looked over the mountain of congratulatory gifts, you discovered a letter of challenge signed by Gu He!]

[He said that you had stolen his beloved. He believed you were unworthy of Yun Yun and wanted to defeat you personally, so Yun Yun would know that he suited her better!]

[You did not take it seriously and tossed the challenge letter aside.]

[After the engagement ceremony, you discussed things with Yun Yun and decided to venture across the Northwest Continent!]

[At that moment, Nalan Yanran came running over and requested to go to the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City to break off her engagement. Yun Yun agreed.]

[You were worried that Nalan Yanran would lack restraint, so you selected some fine medicinal herbs from the palace treasury and asked Fama to refine several high-grade medicinal pills.]

[Then, you personally accompanied them to the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City and arranged to meet Xiao Zhan.]

[Xiao Zhan learned that you were a prince and the youngest Dou Wang expert. He immediately felt great respect for you.]

[Xiao Yan regarded you as his idol.]
