Wutan City, Xiao Clan.
Today was the Xiao Clan's annual Coming of Age Ceremony, and many distinguished guests had come to offer their congratulations.
Ever since Xiao Chuan had left, the various families of Wutan City had been much better off.
They had been small families to begin with. With a Dou Wang suddenly appearing in such a small place, how were they supposed to compete?
As long as Xiao Chuan remained in Wutan City, they would be crushed to the point of barely being able to breathe. Fortunately, Xiao Chuan had already left.
At this moment, the Xiao Clan's Martial Arts Arena was packed with people. Aside from the Xiao Clan's younger generation, many had come simply to watch the excitement.
Among the crowd, one beautiful figure drew the most attention. It was Xun Er, with Xiao Yan standing beside her.
"Xiao Yan, did Third Brother really say he would return for your Coming of Age Ceremony?" Xun Er asked again for confirmation.
Xiao Yan nodded helplessly. "Xun Er, you've asked so many times already. My Third Brother really did say that."
"Then why hasn't he returned yet?"
"How would I know?" Xiao Yan shrugged, thinking that Xun Er had been utterly captivated by his Third Brother.
Wasn't Third Brother just a little more handsome, a little more talented, and a little older than him...
Xiao Yan recalled that when they were children, while everyone else was still growing up, his Third Brother had already become an adult!!
Damn it!
He was so jealous!!
Now that he had grown into an adult himself, wouldn't his Third Brother be even more terrifying?
Who could take that?!
"I hereby announce..." Xiao Zhan stood on the platform, about to begin the testing, when the sky above the Xiao Clan was suddenly blocked by a colossal creature.
Everyone raised their heads and looked up. Feeling the Aura descending from above, every heart trembled violently.
What kind of magical beast was this?
It was this powerful!!
Under everyone's gaze, the Amethyst Winged Lion King slowly came to a stop in midair, looking down upon the people below.
"Father, Younger Brother, Xun Er, long time no see!" Xiao Chuan walked out from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back and stood atop its head, looking down at everyone.
"It's Xiao Chuan, the Dou Wang!"
"He's back!!"
"Oh my god, what kind of magical beast is that? He actually subdued it? That's terrifying!"
Everyone talked at once. Xiao Chuan had already descended to the ground and walked toward Xun Er and Xiao Yan.
Hai Bo Dong followed closely behind, while the Amethyst Winged Lion King found a spot and quietly watched from there.
"Third Brother!!"
Xun Er and Xiao Yan spoke in unison.
Xiao Chuan walked over, pushed Xiao Yan aside, and embraced Xun Er. "Xun Er has grown up again."
Xun Er felt that not much time had passed, and she had not even grown much taller. How had she grown up?
"Third Brother, you're playing favorites!"
Xiao Yan said, pretending to be angry.
Xiao Chuan asked in return, "I'm playing favorites? How am I playing favorites? Didn't I have someone bring you that Dou Technique?"
"I was joking..." Xiao Yan immediately put on a smile. "Then did Third Brother bring me any more good treasures?"
"Do you want one?"
"Yes!!"
This was exactly what Xiao Chuan had been waiting for. "I'll give it to you after this is over."
"Alright!"
Xiao Yan felt that Xiao Chuan had definitely brought him something good, just like that Flight Dou Technique last time.
Yao Chen had told him that Flight Dou Techniques were extremely rare, and even he had seldom seen them in his lifetime.
It was clear just how good his Third Brother was to him!!
Xiao Yan remembered it all in his heart.
After Xiao Chuan went over to greet Xiao Zhan and the others, he returned to Xun Er's side.
"Third Brother, your strength seems to have increased quite a bit again." Xun Er had noticed it the instant she saw Xiao Chuan. "Third Brother must be a Dou Emperor by now, right?"
As the Young Miss of the Gu Clan, what powerful experts had she not seen? Besides, Xiao Chuan had not concealed his Aura at all.
"Just luckily became a Dou Emperor."
"That wasn't luck. It only proves that Third Brother's talent is exceptional." The more Xun Er looked at Xiao Chuan, the more satisfied she became. If so, her clan would definitely approve of her relationship with Xiao Chuan.
After all, the Xiao Chuan before her had become highly sought-after, even the perfect son-in-law.
Xun Er felt that before long, Xiao Chuan's name would resound through the Central Plains. She greatly anticipated that day.
Xiao Chuan asked, "This time, I plan to move the Xiao Clan to Jia Ma Holy City. Will Xun Er come with us?"
Xun Er hesitated. She had originally been preparing to leave, but after hearing that Xiao Chuan would return, she had deliberately stayed at the Xiao Clan for some time.
Now that Xiao Chuan had returned, she also planned to go back.
Xun Er felt that since Xiao Chuan had become so strong, she ought to return and improve her own cultivation as well. Otherwise, how could she catch up to him?
As for the task her father had arranged for her, Xun Er had long tossed it to the back of her mind. Her heart held only Xiao Chuan.
"Third Brother, I may not be able to go with you."
"You're leaving?"
Xun Er nodded gently. "I want to catch up to Third Brother too. One day, we will meet again!"
"Then Xun Er needs to grow up quickly. I'm looking forward to the day Xun Er fully grows up." Xiao Chuan's words carried another meaning.
Xun Er frowned slightly. "Third Brother, why do you insist on Xun Er growing up? Actually, Xun Er isn't that young anymore."
Throughout the Dou Qi Continent, sixteen was already considered adulthood, so Xun Er truly was not young.
Who didn't like girls at their most tender age?
Of course, Xiao Chuan also liked the tender Xun Er of the present, but he simply could not withstand the power of the censors.
"If Xun Er doesn't grow up, when will I ever be able to marry a wife?" Xiao Chuan leaned close to Xun Er's ear and teased her.
Whoosh!
A blush visibly spread across Xun Er's cheeks. "Third Brother, you're too bad!!"
"Xun Er doesn't want to marry me?" Xiao Chuan shook his head in disappointment. "It seems Third Brother still hasn't won Xun Er's heart."
"That's not true!!"
Xun Er pouted as she refuted him. She could not bring herself to say that she wanted to marry Xiao Chuan; such words were far too embarrassing.
"Third Brother, stop saying that. If you keep talking like this, I won't play with you anymore."
"Alright, alright, alright..."
Xiao Chuan knew that Xun Er was clever and had long seen through his teasing.
Afterward, Xiao Yan displayed his might, dazzling everyone with his strength as a One Star Dou Practitioner.
All of this was within Xiao Chuan's expectations. Judging from Xiao Yan's condition, he was not far from becoming a Two-star Dou Practitioner.
"Younger Brother, tonight I'll give you another push!" Xiao Chuan had prepared quite a few grand gifts for this return, enough to greatly raise Xiao Yan's strength.
After the Coming of Age Ceremony ended, the guests departed, and the Xiao Clan became as lively as if it were New Year.
In an open area, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was chatting with its cub when it was suddenly locked onto by an Aura.
"What a powerful Aura!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was about to become wary when Ling Ying had already appeared before it.
The cub immediately hid behind the Amethyst Winged Lion King, looking as though anyone who wanted to kill it would have to kill its father first!!
"Who are you, sir? I am the first mount of my Young Master, Xiao Chuan!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King's injuries had not yet healed, so it could only invoke Xiao Chuan's name.
Ling Ying frowned slightly. He already knew Xiao Chuan and Hai Bo Dong's strengths: one was a One Star Dou Emperor, while the other was a Two-star Dou Emperor. How had they subdued the Amethyst Winged Lion King?
"Our Young Miss said that if you dare harbor any ill intentions toward Xiao Chuan, she will grind your bones to dust!" Ling Ying then looked toward the cub behind the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "The same goes for your child!"
"???"
The cub was dumbfounded. Who had it offended? It was just a child!!
