Xiao Yan doubled over with laughter. He had known Brother Jin's mouth had to be dipped in poison.
Xiao Li was still a Dou Ling, but he was a Nine-Star Dou Ling, only one step away from a Dou King.
In truth, the Dou Crystal inside his body had already become extremely smooth and rounded. All he lacked was one crucial opportunity, and he would be able to pierce through that thin layer of paper.
But a Dou Ling was still a Dou Ling. Forget the fact that Xiao Li was already standing at the doorway—even if only his heel remained outside, he still was not a genuine Dou King.
So faced with Xiao Jin's question, he really had nothing to say in rebuttal.
Xiao Jin was furious at his failure to live up to expectations. "Second brother, I gave you a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, and I even gave you a scroll of an Earth-Tier Technique. This is how you repay me? Look at Eldest Brother, then look at yourself. The two of you are blood brothers!"
Xiao Li: "..."
Stop killing me, stop killing me. I know you and we aren't blood brothers, but there's no need to keep chasing after second brother with the blade, right?
Xiao Jin had no intention of letting him off and continued twisting the knife. "Third brother is also a Dou Ling now. Don't tell me you can't even beat third brother?"
Xiao Li wanted to cry but had no tears. "Fourth Young Master, second brother was wrong. Second brother will go into seclusion tonight. I won't come out until I break through to Dou King, all right?"
Xiao Ding merely smiled as he watched his second brother get roasted beyond recognition. He had no intention of helping at all.
It was good
