Brave Hu Jia, Unafraid of Difficulties

"Smack!"

Upon hearing Xiao Huiying's words, Xiao Tian was immediately speechless and slapped Xiao Huiying's most sensitive and protruding spot.

"You've gone against the Heavenly Order! How dare you start monitoring your Family Head!"

Xiao Huiying instantly turned bright red, and she looked like a boiled shrimp.

Although her Family Head often bumped into and slapped her there, this was the first time she had been treated like this in front of so many people.

She immediately panicked and hid in Xiao Tian's arms, muttering incoherently, "It's not like I haven't rebelled before. I even rode on your face before."

"."

The girls were slightly taken aback, then covered their mouths and chuckled; they had all done that before.

Hu Jia, however, looked around in bewilderment, feeling a sense of emptiness, as if she had drawn her sword and looked around in confusion.

No, is there something I don't know?

???

I've pinched Xiao Tian's cheeks quite often, but his expression was really funny back then.

Is this the world of women? As a girl myself, I really don't understand. No wonder they say that becoming a woman is like a complete transformation. But I'll be able to join that group soon.

After discussing their experiences at the Ancient Ruins, the Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Tian and asked, "Xiao Tian, after the ruins, the Pill Gathering begin in about two months. Would you like to participate?"

"We'll see. After all, I might not have any opponents if I participate." Xiao Tian spread his hands, looking utterly lonely with an air of invincibility.

"Your information has been leaked. I heard that the Soul Clan will be sending someone here. According to the information, it might be Hun Xu Zi's disciple..." Xuan Yi's face showed a slight embarrassment and a hint of anger.

This anger was directed at Hun Xuzi, because Hun Xuzi was once the disciple of the tower master of the Little Pill Tower, but his identity was eventually exposed, and he joined forces with experts from the Soul Clan to ambush and kill the tower master.

They even took away many of the Lesser Little Pill Tower's secret techniques that were not passed down to them.

"Interesting." Xiao Tian was also surprised that the Soul Clan would interfere in the Pill Gathering. He wondered whether it was arranged by the Soul Clan or the participant's own idea.

"However, I need to see what kind of strength the other party has first, and whether they are worth my time, since alchemy is very tiring." Xiao Tian did not immediately agree to participate in the Pill Gathering.

If it benefits him, he'll act; if not, he'll just watch. Anyway, his little brother will definitely participate. No matter how fierce Hun Xu Zi's disciples are, they can't be too far ahead. As the Son of Destiny one, Xiao Yan can definitely handle it if he grits his teeth, unleashes his full potential, and gets it done.

Xuan Yi rolled her eyes at Xiao Tian helplessly. The two had had so many in-depth exchanges that they had already achieved a spiritual resonance, and she could see through Xiao Tian's thoughts at a glance.

Want me to participate? Sure, but you'll have to pay extra!

Xuan Yi had no objection to this, secretly plotting how to get Xuan Kongzi and the Little Pill Tower to increase the prize money for the Pill Gathering champion. It was time to make those old guys bleed a little.

"Should we add a little more? Xiao Tian's strength is so much higher now." Hu Jia held a Jade Bottle in her hand, looking at the materials in front of her.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, poured half a bottle of powder from the Jade Bottle in his hand into the container, and then began the preparations.

After spending half an hour, Hu Jia finally finished preparing the things and carried them out the door.

"Hehe~ I'm here!"

At night, Xiao Tian sat in a chair, waiting for Xiao Bai —oops, it was Hu Niu who came to the door.

"Creak!"

The door to Xiao Tian's bedroom was suddenly opened, and Hu Jia, looking guilty, peeked in cautiously.

"Come in if you're here. There's no one else here." Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh and scold Hu Jia as he looked at her.

Hu Jia strode into the palace and placed what she was carrying in front of Xiao Tian: "How is it? Does it look good?"

"Is this a pastry?" Xiao Tian asked, looking at the little tiger-shaped pastry in front of him.

After waiting for so long, this is what you show me? Is this some kind of test for officials?

"Yes, I made this with great effort. This is just an appetizer; you can have the better part after you finish this."

Hu Jia pushed the things further towards Xiao Tian, her eyes filled with seven parts anticipation and three parts nervousness, while she silently prayed in her heart.

Xiao Tian kneaded the pastry; it was bouncy and chewy, and quite a unique little trinket.

Under Hu Jia's expectant gaze, he picked up the pastry and took a big bite.

Hu Jia saw Xiao Tian eat and swallow, and a subtle smile flashed in her eyes.

"It tastes good," Xiao Tian praised as he finished the last bite.

After Xiao Tian finished eating, he inexplicably felt a warm sensation in his stomach, and his whole body began to feel hot.

"Of course, I made this with lots of medicinal herbs; they're all very nourishing."

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Hu Jia couldn't help but tilt her head back slightly, a smug look on her face, before turning to look at Xiao Tian.

She suddenly heard heavy breathing and looked up to meet Xiao Tian's slightly reddened gaze.

Hu Jia was slightly frightened by Xiao Tian's murderous gaze, but remembering that this was part of her plan and that she couldn't miss this opportunity, she had to wash his hair tonight.

"Appetizers should be served before the main course."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Tian appeared in front of her.

The instant their eyes met, Hu Jia felt an immense sense of oppression as she looked at Xiao Tian, who had lost all self-control.

"Gulp!"

She couldn't help but tremble with fear, nervously swallowed, and tried to bolster her courage.

Brave Hu Jia, unafraid of difficulties.

Suddenly, Hu Jia felt herself being grabbed by a pair of strong hands. Her body tensed instantly. Before she could speak, Xiao Tian silenced her with a kiss, which then moved to her cheeks, ears, and neck.

Unbeknownst to Hu Jia, a clear light appeared in Xiao Tian's eyes, which had previously lost all self-awareness.

Xiao Tian unleashed his Dou Qi, and Hu Jia's clothes were instantly blasted into pieces, flying everywhere.

As the sun rose high in the sky, Xiao Tian glanced at Hu Jia, whose eyes were streaked with dried tears, and carefully brushed the stray hairs from her forehead.

The chisel was too heavy.

He kissed her on the forehead, took out a gold and red ring and put it on her ring finger, then merged a Physique Card into her body.

After doing all this, Xiao Tian put on his clothes and left.

Several hours later, Hu Jia slowly opened her heavy eyes. Although she had slept for a long time, she was still very tired, but she did not regret it.

She recalled her memories from last night. During the second half of the game, Xiao Tian had fused a Physique Card into her, otherwise she would have been completely ruined.

After all, I practiced Sonic Dou Skill all night, and my voice was almost hoarse from shouting.

With a quick glance, she spotted the floating Jade Bottle and reached out to grab Jade Bottle.

Suddenly, she noticed the Golden Red Ring on her hand.

She froze, staring blankly at the ring, forgetting even to breathe.

Coming to her senses, she gently stroked the ring with her fingertips. The touch was warm and smooth like jade, yet it also carried a coolness unique to metal.

"Xiao Tian..." she murmured unconsciously, her voice hoarse and unlike her own, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes.

She put away the pills in the Jade Bottle but didn't take them; she had things to do later. She touched the ring and chuckled foolishly on the bed.
