A Gentle Haven from Xun Er!

Xiao Ze was stumped. Right, why couldn't they just get along?

Ever since he brought Xiao Yi Xian home, he had intentionally avoided Xun Er, hoping to prevent any conflict between them on his account. He had planned to make it up to her later.

But if he truly did that, it would break Xun Er's heart.

Over the past two days, Xun Er had become visibly haggard, yet he had been busy playing little two-person games with Xiao Yi Xian, completely disregarding her feelings.

Xiao Ze, you are truly not a man.

"Xiao Yi Xian, thank you." Xiao Ze planted a light kiss on her, then stood up; he was prepared to apologize to Xun Er.

Whether she wanted to hit him or scold him, he would submit to her will.

"What a blockhead," Xiao Yi Xian sighed helplessly.

"Elder Ling, perhaps we should return to the Ancient Clan."

In the backyard of the Xiao Clan, Xun Er sat alone on the hillside, feeling bored and listless.

Ever since Xiao Ze brought Xiao Yi Xian home, he hadn't spoken two words to her, and she felt as if she had become invisible within the Xiao Clan.

Especially now that Xiao Ze possessed the cultivation of a Dou Emperor, the entire household was preoccupied with him; there was no room left for her.

Rather than suffering here, it would be better to return early and sever this attachment.

Hearing this, Ling Ying's old face darkened. "But Miss, we are here on a mission. If we return like this, I fear it will be difficult to answer to the Clan Leader."

"Elder Ling, do you think that with your strength, you could defeat Brother Xiao Ze?" Xun Er couldn't help but ask.

"Er..." Ling Ying felt as if he had been asked about a sore spot. "Miss, I believe it is time we returned."

Being outclassed by a junior—this Xiao Clan was no longer worth staying in.

Just as the two were discussing their plans to return home, a figure flew toward them at high speed.

"Miss, someone is coming. This subordinate will take his leave." Sensing the aura of the newcomer, Ling Ying dared not delay for a second, transforming directly into a blur and vanishing.

Xun Er hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Xun Er." After landing, Xiao Ze felt a deep sense of guilt as he saw Xun Er sitting all alone.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be off playing with your Xiao Yi Xian?" Xun Er was clearly sulking.

"Xun Er, it is my fault. I am here to repent. I have been too focused on taking care of Xiao Yi Xian these past two days and neglected you. I am very sorry." Xiao Ze stepped forward, offering a sincere apology.

"If you feel it isn't enough, you can beat me. I will submit to whatever you decide."

In the end, Xiao Ze made sure to maintain an attitude of accepting guilt and punishment.

He hadn't handled this matter well, and he would accept whatever consequences followed.

Hearing this, Xun Er finally smiled. "You still have a bit of conscience left."

She had feared that her Brother Xiao Ze had forgotten her, but now it seemed that the Brother Xiao Ze she knew hadn't left her behind.

Seeing that Xun Er's anger had dissipated, Xiao Ze excitedly pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the softness in his embrace, Xiao Ze said apologetically, "Xun Er, no matter what happens in the future, I will never abandon you."

Xun Er lay in his arms and nodded gently.

If she could always stay by Brother Xiao Ze's side, why return to the Ancient Clan? The Xiao Clan was actually quite nice.

Ling Ying had been hiding in the shadows, watching the scene unfold, unable to stop himself from sighing.

Miss, oh Miss, didn't we just agree a moment ago that we were going to return to the Ancient Clan? What is the meaning of this?

However, before he could watch for even two more seconds, a terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped him, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

"A Dou Zong expert!"

Ling Ying's expression was one of horror; this level of power had already reached the rank of a Dou Zong!

No, it seemed to be just a hair short...

But even so, it would be impossible for him to break free for at least a day or two.

When he turned his gaze toward his young mistress, his expression suddenly stiffened, for Xiao Ze had already swept her up into his arms.

Then, they quickly vanished from his sight.

"Miss!" Ling Ying's eyes were bloodshot.

If the young mistress were to be forced by the third young master of the Xiao Clan, he, as her guard, would be held fully responsible.

If the Clan Leader found out, he would likely be pulverized into dust with a single slap.

"Damn you, Xiao Ze! If you dare to do anything to my young mistress, I, Ling Ying, will be your sworn enemy!"

"Xun Er, will you marry me?" Upon arriving at Xun Er's boudoir, the two immediately tumbled together, their breathing heavy.

As for Ling Ying, he could just stay on the hillside and catch the breeze to cool off; one could not have a third party watching a two-person game.

"I will."

Looking at the handsome man before her, Xun Er was ten thousand times willing in her heart.

Previously, she had been unwilling to pierce this layer of window paper because she was worried about the issue of her Divine Grade Bloodline.

But now, if she did not agree, Brother Xiao Ze would truly be snatched away, pot and basin included.

Heaven had already given her one chance, and this time, no matter what, she had to seize it.

The moment Xun Er agreed, a system prompt quietly sounded in Xiao Ze's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for taking the SSS-grade Xun Er as a wife. The marriage rewards are being distributed...]

[Ding! Marriage reward distributed: Earth-tier Low-level Dou Technique: Three Thousand Lightning Movement!]

[Ding! Marriage dowry distributed: Divine Grade Bloodline (Purified Version)!]

"Xun Er, rest assured, following me, I will never treat you poorly."

Xiao Ze whispered, then leaned in to kiss her.

A faint blush appeared on Xun Er's face, but she did not refuse.

The affection between the two heated up instantly, and then Xiao Ze's hands began to restlessly and wantonly explore her body.

While Xiao Ze was deep in the land of gentleness, Ling Ying was left to be blown by the cold wind all night long.

It was not until the sun rose the next day that the restraints around his body began to loosen.

This immediately invigorated him; he unleashed his full power as a Dou Emperor, broke through the obstacles in one go, and transformed into a streak of light, charging straight toward the room where the young miss was staying.

However, the sky had already brightened, and the raw rice had already been cooked into porridge.

In the gentle embrace of his hometown, Xiao Ze lay in Xun Er's arms with a look of lingering attachment, enjoying a moment of peace.

It had to be said that Xun Er was the gentlest girl he had ever met; the swaying of the night had left him unable to get enough.

At this moment, Xun Er's pretty face radiated a rosy glow, looking like a ripe cherry—delicate and dripping, making one unable to resist wanting to look at her more.

"Xun Er, although you have lost your virginity, there is no need to worry about the Divine Grade Bloodline issue; practice with peace of mind."

Since she had given her first time to him, Xiao Ze would never treat the women by his side poorly.

The Divine Grade Bloodline was Xun Er's greatest reliance; how could he bear to cruelly strip it away?

Fortunately, true to the system's nature, it had perfectly compensated for this flaw.

"Is that so?" Xun Er was slightly stunned.

Before losing her virginity, she had already decided that she didn't care if she lost the Divine Grade Bloodline, but she hadn't expected that Brother Xiao Ze would actually be able to help her reconstruct it.

"As my woman, how could I bear to let you lose the Divine Grade Bloodline you take such pride in?" Xiao Ze smiled faintly.

"It's getting late, and Ling Ying should be returning soon, so I will take my leave first."

After tidying up briefly, Xiao Ze left Xun Er's room.

No sooner had he left than Ling Ying appeared before Xun Er.

"Young Miss!" Ling Ying could not believe his eyes.

Not only had he failed to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, but he had also ended up losing the person herself—what was this?

He had lost the lady and the soldiers as well!

"Elder Ling, I am perfectly fine. You need not worry about the issue of the Divine Grade Bloodline; it has not been damaged."

"As for my father, I will explain it to him myself."
