Medusa: The Domineering Young Lady's Forced Love

"Descendant of a Dou Di, inheritor of a perfect bloodline, a Dou Sheng before thirty, the only daughter of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng..."

A cold sweat surfaced on Yun Yun's back, and even her soul trembled.

Although she did not know why Gu Xun'er, with such a background, had settled in the Xiao Clan ten years ago.

If the Xiao Clan had such connections, then as long as they could make Xun'er reveal even a trace of displeasure, the Misty Cloud Sect could be destroyed.

She had actually just considered going to the Xiao Clan to silence Xiao Ting. Even without the Notebook Copy, that would have been courting death.

The same thought appeared in Queen Medusa's heart.

Almost instantly, she changed her attitude toward Xiao Ting.

"With someone like Gu Xun'er behind him, Xiao Ting can only be befriended, never offended."

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were greatly shocked, but it was only shock.

In terms of birth alone, they were as far beneath Gu Xun'er as clouds from mud.

[Someone with Xun'er's background came to the Xiao Clan. The apparent reason was that the Gu Clan wanted the Tou She Ancient God Jade in the Xiao Clan's possession.]

"Phew." Xun'er let out a sharp breath of relief.

The words "apparent reason" showed that Xiao Ting had not misunderstood her.

[My assessment of this reason is "wise," and it further proves that Tuo Dou is merely someone who writes books and does not understand Battle Through the Heavens at all.]

[On the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigns supreme. Although most places are not as utterly strength-driven as the Black-Corner Region, where the law of the jungle is taken to its extreme, and rules and institutions maintain an appearance of relative peace, the core principle never changes.]

[The Xiao Clan was also a Di Clan a thousand years ago. Back then, they were called the Eight Ancient Clans. With their ancestor Xiao Xuan, a Quasi-Emperor, the Xiao Tribe was recognized as the strongest among the Dou God Clans. Unfortunately, they could not escape the fate of their Dou Di bloodline gradually drying up, which triggered a series of later events.]

[Now, the Xiao Clan has scattered across the Dou Qi Continent. Their already mediocre bloodline has become even thinner. As one of the main branches holding the Tou She Ancient God Jade, the strongest person in the Wutan City Xiao Clan is only a Da Dou Shi.]

[If the Gu Clan wanted something from the Xiao Clan, they had tens of thousands of ways to obtain it without acting personally. There was absolutely no need to send the clan leader's precious daughter to steal it in such an undignified manner.]

[The secret of the Tou She Ancient God Jade requires all eight pieces to be gathered before it can be opened. Having one piece or two makes no difference.]

[If the Gu Clan took the Xiao Clan's ancient jade, they would only become a target for all, allowing the Hun Clan to attack them.]

[Moreover, the Gu Clan and Xiao Tribe are on good terms. Such an act would also damage the Gu Clan's reputation.]

[There are only benefits and no drawbacks.]

[Unless the Gu Clan had been controlled by the Hun Clan, they would never do such a thing!]

Xun'er: Brother Xiao Ting said it well.

I came to the Xiao Clan with absolutely no ill intent!

What does that Tuo Dou know about the firmament?

[The book never stated it directly, but according to my speculation, Xun'er came to the Xiao Clan merely because Uncle Gu Yuan wanted to protect her.]

[Di Clans place enormous importance on bloodlines, and internal competition within the Gu Clan is intense. Outstanding members of the younger generation must break through to Dou Zun before turning thirty.]

[When Xun'er was three, she was implanted with a young flame cultivated from a sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. It could burn away impurities in her bloodline and build the foundation for a perfect bloodline.]

[But for the next ten years, she could not cultivate properly and was even more ordinary than an ordinary person.]

[An environment like the Gu Clan was not suitable for Xun'er's growth.]

[Uncle Gu Yuan arranged for her to grow up in the Xiao Clan only so she could have a carefree childhood.]

"Completely correct. Brother Xiao Ting really is smart."

Xun'er cupped her cheeks in both hands, her smile sweet and captivating, her large eyes seeming to speak.

Since Xiao Ting could understand all this, he surely would not misunderstand her arrival at the Xiao Clan as harboring ulterior motives and let it affect their relationship.

But the next moment, her smile froze. Panic appeared in her eyes, and her jade-like hands clenched unconsciously.

[In the novel, Tuo Dou also arranged a scene where my cousin sneaked into Xun'er's room as a child and used Dou Qi to nourish her meridians, making Xun'er admire him and help him greatly on his rise to power.]

[In reality, this could never have happened. Xun'er came to the Xiao Clan to enjoy a wonderful childhood, not to be exiled here to suffer.]

[Uncle Gu Yuan must have left life-saving measures inside her body, while Dou Emperors, Dou Zongs, and perhaps even Dou Zuns guarded her in secret.]

[Although my cousin was only a few years old then, he could never have entered Xun'er's room and approached her.]

[And that was indeed the truth. When my cousin and I entered Xun'er's room at the age of five, we were immediately knocked unconscious by a mysterious expert and thrown outside.]

[Reality could never be as dramatic and illogical as it was written in the novel.]

"Phew!" Xun'er let out another sharp breath of relief.

It was right for Brother Xiao Ting to think that way.

He must not get any ideas because of the nonsense Tuo Dou wrote.

[In the novel, my cousin entered Xun'er's room to test whether Dou Qi existed and because he believed Xun'er suffered terribly from "cold energy."]

[But my cousin possessed an adult's mind at the time. He could not possibly have failed to realize that Xun'er had an extraordinary identity, so he must have been testing the waters to some extent.]

[I was the one who suffered, though. As his little tagalong, I had been at odds with Xun'er since childhood and often clashed with her and the Xiao Clan's younger generation because of her.]

[But in the end, it benefited me. Uncle Gu Yuan would never have expected an anomaly like me to appear in the Xiao Clan, becoming Xun'er's bickering rival, childhood sweetheart, and childhood companion.]

[Uncle Gu Yuan would have expected even less that Xun'er was an exceptionally pure-minded and stubborn person. Once she set her mind on something, not even a Dou Di could make her change.]

[Since Xun'er has chosen me, whether I want to or not, I have to live off her.]

"Pfft!"

Xun'er could not hold back her laughter. Her sweet smile was lovely enough to shame the moon and flowers.

"Brother Xiao Ting is right. No matter what, you have to live off Xun'er."

"If you are capable, then everything will proceed naturally, and Xun'er only needs to wait for you."

"If you are not capable, then Xun'er can only become the strongest person in the Gu Clan."

"When that time comes, no one can stop me from having the person I want!"

There were not many people in this world capable of stirring emotions in Xun'er's heart.

Therefore, anyone who could stir her emotions had to be hers!

At the same time, Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and Qing Lin all came to a realization.

If viewed from the perspective of a storybook, Xun'er was most likely the female lead—and likely the only female lead.

That Tuo Dou was surely a young man who had never had a woman, enjoyed daydreaming, and had not experienced many major events in life.

Otherwise, he would never have conceived of a setting like "the continent's number one fair, rich, and beautiful girl falls for me, a useless man from a fallen clan," something that violated human nature and natural laws.

But Xun'er and Xiao Ting developing from bickering childhood sweethearts into mutual affection, followed by Xun'er staging a "domineering young lady's forced love" due to her personality, was extremely likely.

[I'm not as hard-mouthed as Queen Medusa. Even physicians recommend that I eat softer rice.]

[If someone wants to let me live off her, I definitely cannot refuse.]

[Next, I'll go cook for Xun'er.]

At this point, Xiao Ting stopped writing.

Only after repeatedly checking the content and confirming there were no issues did he choose to upload and record it.

Every sentence above, whether analysis or evaluation, understanding or judgment, was a subjective yet objective thought from the bottom of his heart.

If this had been his previous life, posting this piece online would definitely have resonated with countless people.

The real Battle Through the Heavens was far from as simple as the novel described.

From now on, he would observe with his eyes and heart, then record everything faithfully.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ting found a piece of information in his mind, followed by countless flashes of images.

"Plane Blessing?"

After figuring out the situation, Xiao Ting's mouth twitched.

"The blessing given by the Great Dao Notes is this slapdash!?"
