And So I Was Granted Wretchedness

Xiao Tian took Xiao Ze for a stroll around. Although the little guy didn't understand what scenery was, his face was always beaming with a smile.

He knew that the person in front of him was his father. Having his father by his side was the happiest thing for him, and he eventually fell asleep happily in Xiao Tian's arms.

Xiao Tian carried the sleeping Xiao Ze into the Free and Unfettered Hall, where they encountered a patrol team.

The leader was a woman with long purple hair, a voluptuous figure, and an alluring and seductive aura.

She was Yue Mei, one of the former leaders of the Eight Great Tribes of the Serpent Clan, and now the Commander of the Sky Palace Guards.

When Yue Mei saw Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, she bowed slightly to him, and as she did so, a large expanse of snow-white appeared in Xiao Tian's eyes.

"Your Highness, I Yue Mei, greet you and Your Little Highness Princess Consort."

Upon hearing Yue Mei's words, Xiao Tian staggered, completely losing his balance, and looked at the group in front of him with a face full of black lines.

"This is the title prescribed by Her Majesty the Queen, and we dare not disobey Queen Majesty's orders." Yue Mei raised her eyes and chuckled softly.

Xiao Tian patted his head helplessly, cursing Medusa inwardly.

He exchanged a glance with Shenyuan, then slowly looked away. With a flick of his fingers, a Dou Qi qi straightened Yue Mei's body. "Yue Mei, how about you call me Hall Master next time?"

"Her Queen said that everything else is up to you, but this form of address is unacceptable," Yue Mei said with a helpless expression.

However, he was secretly pleased. No one else had the chance to see the Hall Master Master's depressed expression; only they and their group could witness it.

"Ugh, this is tough."

Hearing Xiao Tian's sigh, Yue Mei and the other Sky Palace Guards behind her suppressed their smiles.

They held this Hall Master in high esteem, and were even willing to risk their lives to protect him.

He's never been Hall Master or aloof when you see him; in fact, he sometimes gives guidance on cultivation and bestows various kinds of elixirs upon you.

"Alright, alright, you can go back to your work. You can divide these pills among yourselves." Xiao Tian casually took out a bottle of Sixth Rank pills that could increase cultivation speed, tossed it to Yue Mei, and then disappeared from the spot.

Yue Mei distributed the pills one by one, then held the Jade Bottle in her hand, feeling the slight warmth it still carried. Yue Mei placed it into her personal Dimensional Pocket, looked towards the place where Xiao Tian had left, and then led her team to continue patrolling the safety of the Sky Palace.

Upon returning to the Sky Palace, he saw his two daughters diligently cultivating under the Heavenly Enlightenment Peach Tree.

Xiao Tian knew at a glance that they must have found out about their neglect of cultivation recently; they must have gotten carried away and given themselves away.

After all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened to them.

Xiao Tianyi Instantaneous Movement appeared inside the pavilion. The women were still talking. It has to be said that women are really good at chatting; they can easily talk for half a day.

He placed Xiao Ze in his small bed, then patted Xuan Yi's head. He could sense Xuan Yi's feelings; he had now integrated into the Sky Palace group.

As soon as Xiao Tian sat down, Xiao Tian Qing Lin, his personal maid, knelt down behind him and massaged his shoulders.

With her entire body draped over Xiao Tian's back, Qing Lin Xiao Tian to great lengths to ensure her young master felt comfortable and soft, fearing he might develop cervical spine problems.

"Xiao Tian, your younger brother, are you leaving to cultivate soon?"

Ya Fei flashed and appeared on Xiao Tian's lap, facing him directly. She put her hands through the gap between Qing Lin and Xiao Tian's back and hugged Xiao Tian.

"Hmm, that place is perfect for me. Absorbing from there should significantly enhance my strength." Xiao Tian thought for a moment, realizing that Xuan Yi must have told them this. He placed his hand on Ya Fei's pert buttocks.

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, everyone present smiled with relief. Their lazybones had finally taken the initiative to cultivate.

None of them were saddened by Xiao Tian's departure of a year and a half. Their lifespans were quite long, and a mere year would pass in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, if they want to meet, they can appear by Xiao Tian's side at any time through the Free and Unfettered World; this is the advantage of having Small World.

Even though he doesn't cultivate much normally, he's already ashamed enough to make others want to commit suicide. If he were to cultivate actively, his realm would surely rise to an incredible level.

Only one person stood out, their face a mixture of joy and sorrow—it was Medusa.

The joy is the same as everyone else's, but the sorrow is that he himself had just ascended to a higher level thanks to his own strength and talent, but since he wasn't cultivating, he was diligently cultivating himself.

If things continue like this, sooner or later I will be able to rise up and sing my own praises, defeat him decisively, and make him walk away leaning against the wall, or I will step on his face and ask him if he submits.

Xiao Tian glanced at Medusa with a mocking expression, which immediately enraged Medusa, who wished she could take off her high heels right now and stomp on his face.

Let you be arrogant, let you laugh, I'll crush you.

"Little Yan Yan, are you trying to eat me up?" Xiao Tian looked at Medusa with a grin.

"How dare you call me Your Queen! I really want to stomp you to death, you Little Tianzi!" Medusa raised her chin slightly, exuding the nobility and arrogance of a Queen.

Xiao Tian was completely unfazed by her threat; the smile in his eyes deepened, carrying a hint of cynical provocation.

"Then, Your Queen, which foot do you intend to step on me with? Your left or your right?" Xiao Tian's gaze suddenly slid down, fixing on her ankle, which was slightly tense inside her high heels.

"Or... both feet together? But you can't wear shoes."

Medusa's breath hitched, and a faint blush appeared on both cheeks, perhaps from anger, or perhaps for some other reason.

"Since you're smiling so slyly, I have to wear shoes, or rather, high heels, to step on you."

"You're absolutely right, this is a gift from heaven." Xiao Tian's smile grew even brighter.

"?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, all the women had a huge question mark above their heads. "Heaven bestows such a lowly reward?"

Is there something wrong with you, or is there something wrong with God?

"I once made a wish to God, wanting to receive a lot of money, but God said He could only give me half."

"And so I became cheap."

Xiao Yi Xian and the others were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

Yun Yun was holding a teacup and drinking tea when she heard this. She almost spat out the tea in her mouth, but luckily she controlled herself and it didn't happen. Otherwise, Han Yue across from her would have been in trouble.

"Pfft—hahahaha!" Hu Jia laughed so hard she almost fell off her chair. "Xiao Tian, you're hopeless!"

Meanwhile, Qing Lin, who was behind Xiao Tian, and Ya Fei, who was in his arms, were laughing so hard they were leaning against Xiao Tian's back and in his arms.

The others also turned their faces away, trying their best not to look at Xiao Tian, afraid they wouldn't be able to hold back their laughter, but their slightly trembling shoulders betrayed their feelings at that moment.
