You Can't Handle Her, Little Brother-Let Your Third Brother Do It!

After returning to the Xiao Clan, Xiao Zhan immediately came over to ask what had happened. Xiao Chuan told him everything in full detail.

"Dead is dead!" Anger radiated from Xiao Zhan. "That is how this world works—the strong prey on the weak. If you had not been stronger than them, you might have been the one who died."

"Don't worry, Father. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to the Xiao Clan." Xiao Chuan had been raised by Xiao Zhan, and he had always kept that kindness in his heart.

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Chuan. "Is there something you want to say?"

"Father, I may be leaving the Xiao Clan for a while."

Xiao Chuan felt that the timeline was too long. Besides, he was now a Dou King Expert, so traveling back and forth would not take much time.

He would go ahead and take Xiao Yan's opportunities first, which would also help Xiao Yan raise his cultivation even further.

Although Xiao Zhan did not know why Xiao Chuan suddenly wanted to leave, he had always trusted his son.

"Be careful." Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Chuan on the shoulder. Even though Xiao Chuan was now a Dou King Expert, he was still a child in Xiao Zhan's eyes.

Xiao Chuan nodded.

At that moment, Xiao Yan returned from outside and overheard that Xiao Chuan was leaving. "Third brother, aren't you going to wait until my Coming of Age Ceremony before leaving?"

There was still over half a month until Xiao Yan's Coming of Age Ceremony. Xiao Chuan would have more than enough time to return by then.

"Don't worry, Younger Brother. I'll definitely return before your Coming of Age Ceremony." Xiao Chuan guessed that Xiao Yan would surely reach the Dou Zhe realm before then, while he himself would be a Dou Emperor by that time!!

Xiao Yan said, "Alright, third brother. Be careful on the road. I'll catch up to you!"

"Younger Brother, don't let me down. Among all these people, you're the one I think most highly of." Xiao Chuan patted Xiao Yan's shoulder as though entrusting him with a great responsibility. Little Brother, whether your brother can soar to greatness depends on you!

Under the sparse stars and bright moon, the three of them drank a few cups together before going their separate ways.

Xiao Chuan sat atop the roof. Before long, a graceful figure appeared—it was Xun Er, approaching with a gentle sway.

"Third brother, why didn't you tell me you were leaving? I only heard about it from Little Brother." Xun Er pouted unhappily.

Xiao Chuan took the opportunity to pull Xun Er, who had walked up beside him, into his arms and had her sit on his lap.

"Third brother, what are you doing..." Xun Er spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. At the same time, she caught the scent of alcohol on Xiao Chuan's body. He had clearly been drinking.

Xiao Chuan's tone turned heavy. "I'll be leaving for some time this trip. It's time for us to part again."

The blush on Xun Er's face faded slightly. They had only just reunited, yet they were about to part ways again.

She dearly wanted to tell Xiao Chuan not to worry about the Misty Cloud Sect, but she still could not reveal her identity.

"Go and become stronger without worry, third brother. I'll help you protect the Xiao Clan." Xun Er tried to sound relaxed.

Xiao Chuan gently scraped Xun Er's delicate nose, then deliberately leaned close to her ear and teased her with a soft breath. "Xun Er, are you some great clan's Young Miss? Did you come to our Xiao Clan just to find a live-in son-in-law?"

"Third brother, what nonsense are you saying!" Xun Er blushed again and lightly pushed against Xiao Chuan's chest.

Xiao Chuan continued teasing her. "If Xun Er wants to recruit a son-in-law, you should definitely choose me first. My talent isn't bad at all, and I absolutely meet the requirements."

"Third brother, stop talking nonsense!" Xun Er covered Xiao Chuan's mouth, refusing to let him continue. She felt that Xiao Chuan must have been speaking nonsense because he was drunk.

Xiao Chuan looked at Xun Er's fair, tender hand covering his mouth. Wasn't this rewarding him?

"Brother Xiao Chuan, what are you doing? It tickles..." In the end, Xun Er still could not keep Xiao Chuan's mouth shut.

After bidding them farewell, Xiao Chuan arrived at the Mittal Auction House the next day. Ya Fei happened to be leaving that day as well.

"Shall we go together?"

Xiao Chuan asked meaningfully.

Ya Fei nodded bashfully. She had not expected Xiao Chuan to be leaving that day too. It really was quite a coincidence.

She had not brought any luggage when she came, so naturally there was nothing to bring back. Aside from a carriage, she only had several guards assigned to protect her.

Xiao Chuan boarded the carriage first. The cabin was spacious enough to accommodate several people without any problem.

Ya Fei followed him in, instructed the maid driving the carriage to set off, and then slipped into the cabin.

Xiao Chuan sat on the sofa, leaning against the carriage wall as he looked at Ya Fei. Her low-cut neckline left nothing to the imagination.

Before long, Ya Fei sat down beside Xiao Chuan, her gaze occasionally drifting toward him.

"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and do what you should be doing." Xiao Chuan gestured with a smile at the corner of his lips.

"You're so bad..." Ya Fei shot Xiao Chuan a resentful glance. This guy only cared about satisfying himself and did not care about her at all.

She slowly lowered her head...

Xiao Chuan did not travel with the carriage for long. Once Ya Fei had finished servicing him, they went their separate ways.

After flying for some time with his Dou Qi Wings, Xiao Chuan finally arrived at the Magical Beast Mountain Range. There were quite a few opportunities here that belonged to Xiao Yan.

"First, I need to find Qingshan Town."

Before coming here, Xiao Chuan had asked Ya Fei for a rough map of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Following the map's directions, he flew above the forest and soon spotted a small town in the distance.

After determining Qingshan Town's location, Xiao Chuan entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range once more. After two days, he finally found that Senior's cave dwelling.

"Hard work pays off." After entering the cave dwelling, Xiao Chuan felt incredibly sneaky. The feeling of intercepting someone else's opportunity was simply too satisfying.

The traps in the cave could not stop a Dou King Expert at all. Xiao Chuan easily destroyed them.

After entering the cave, Xiao Chuan saw many extremely precious medicinal herbs growing within, especially the Ice Spirit Flame Grass among them.

The Ice Spirit Flame Grass was the stalk of grass with alternating white and red leaves.

Xiao Chuan knew it was an essential ingredient for refining the fifth-tier Blood Lotus Pill. Once Xiao Yan devoured Heavenly Flames to improve his cultivation, his own cultivation would also rise by a great deal.

"Good stuff. I'm taking it all!" Xiao Chuan felt as though he had gotten into the nurturing game.

Aside from the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, there were many other precious medicinal herbs, and he stored each of them away.

Three locked stone boxes sat atop a stone table. Beside the table lay a skeleton, with three keys hanging from its bones.

Xiao Chuan remembered that the skeleton seemed to contain a fragmentary map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, the sort of fragmentary map that could summon a divine dragon once all the pieces were assembled.

However, what this fragmentary map summoned was not a divine dragon, but the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

He put the fragmentary map away. It should come in handy eventually, so he might as well keep it in his hands for now.

Before long, Xiao Chuan opened all three stone boxes and obtained the three treasures inside.

They were the poison cultivation manual, the Seven-Colored Poison Manual; the high-grade Xuan-class Flight Dou Technique, Eagle Wings; and the mid-grade Xuan-class Dou Technique, Mad Lion Roar.

Everything was as expected. Xiao Chuan was not surprised; instead, everything had gone exceptionally smoothly.

Looking at the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, Xiao Chuan immediately thought of Xiao Yi Xian and her Woeful Poison Body. "Such a fine Xiao Yi Xian. You can't handle her, Little Brother—let your third brother do it!"
