Farewell to My Three Wives!

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing dual cultivation with Xun Er. Reward: Earth-tier Advanced Dou Technique: Three Thousand Lightning Illusions!

Seeing this, Xiao Ze felt delighted.

With Three Thousand Lightning Movement combined with Three Thousand Lightning Illusions, he could hold his own even against a high-star Dou Zong; after all, these were the signature treasures of the Wind Lightning Pavilion.

Of course, before his strength reached the Dou Zun realm, it was best not to let anyone from the Wind Lightning Pavilion discover these two techniques.

He certainly didn't want to be hunted across the skies by Fei Tian.

With the Jia Lie Family no longer causing trouble, the Xiao Clan was in its prime, having implicitly become the number one family in Wutan City.

A great deal of this was due to the immense support from the Mite'er Auction House; without their constant supply of medicinal herbs, the Xiao Clan could never have risen at such a speed.

"Many thanks, Sister Ya Fei."

Upon arriving at the Mite'er Auction House, Xiao Ze sought out Ya Fei immediately.

"Little Brother Xiao Ze, for your sake, this sister has nearly emptied the entire treasury of the Mite'er Auction House. Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Ya Fei's allure remained undiminished. Her red qipao clung tightly to her delicate frame, and her ample bosom traced a proud arc in the air, a sight so intoxicating it was impossible to look away.

Xiao Ze was utterly captivated. With a grin, he scooped Ya Fei up and carried her to the bed. "Sister Ya Fei, as compensation, this little brother can only reluctantly accompany you through a night of passion."

"You gluttonous little thing..."

Ya Fei smiled demurely, tapping his lips with her finger in a playful, coy gesture.

Xiao Ze pulled her closer, their bodies pressed tightly together, each able to hear the other's breathing.

In that moment, even the air turned sweet.

As one of his women, Xiao Ze never showed favoritism.

Thus, the night at the Mite'er Auction House was exceptionally wonderful, filled with the endless, lingering sounds of intimacy.

A sleepless night.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Ze was the first to wake. To help Ya Fei return to the Mite'er Family, his purpose in coming here was certainly not just for their little games.

He had to boost her performance records and, incidentally, raise his own cultivation. If he succeeded, the future title of Patriarch of the Mite'er Family might well have to change hands.

And so, for the next period, Xiao Ze began his life as an alchemist.

As a Tier 3 Alchemist, ordinary pills posed no difficulty for him.

Consequently, his alchemy speed was incredibly fast.

This display left Ya Fei thoroughly shocked, as this was the first time he had revealed his talent for alchemy.

"Little brother, you really have given this sister a huge surprise."

Ya Fei watched from the side, clicking her tongue in wonder.

A Dou Emperor cultivation base combined with the status of a Tier 3 Alchemist was enough to make anyone envious.

It wasn't until the third day that Xiao Ze finished refining the pills, and with the support of these, the past losses in medicinal herbs were more than compensated.

Ya Fei brought over tea, smiling as she personally fed it to Xiao Ze. "You've worked hard, little brother. Tonight, this sister will reward you well."

"That's a promise. Don't go begging for mercy tonight." Xiao Ze pulled Ya Fei into his arms.

Late at night.

Xiao Ze and Ya Fei were completely open with one another.

For this, he had specially prepared a JK uniform.

"Little brother, this outfit... it's too embarrassing..." Ya Fei looked at Xiao Ze with a delicate, bashful expression.

Xiao Ze's eyes went wide.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? You'll forget all about it soon enough." Xiao Ze chuckled as he carried Ya Fei toward the bed.

A sleepless night.

At the head of the bed, the two agreed to meet next in the Imperial Capital.

When Xiao Ze returned to the Xiao Clan, he happened to hear his clansmen discussing the Jia Nan Academy.

"You've heard, right? The Jia Nan Academy is coming to our Wutan City tomorrow to recruit students!"

"Indeed. They say the requirements are incredibly high. It's a pity my strength isn't up to par, otherwise I'd really like to give it a try."

As one of the most famous higher learning institutions on the Dou Qi Continent, the Jia Nan Academy was a holy land in the hearts of almost all youths. Once one could graduate from the academy, their future path would be smooth sailing. Not only could they return home in glory, but they would also become highly sought-after talents by various factions.

Therefore, every recruitment drive was a grand ceremony that attracted the gaze of countless youths, and the Xiao Clan was naturally no exception.

However, for Xiao Ze, this seemed entirely optional.

Already at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, did he really need schooling? He was more qualified to be an instructor.

Although he didn't need it, there were many among the clan's disciples who certainly did.

After understanding the details, Xiao Ze made his way to the room where Xun Er was staying.

"Xun Er, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to Jia Nan Academy." Xiao Ze tried his best to make his words sound less hurtful.

Yet, upon hearing this, Xun Er could not help but feel heartbroken. "Brother Xiao Ze, are you really not planning to come along?"

"I am sorry, but I have a mission to attend to; I truly cannot go with you."

"However, I can promise that as soon as I complete my mission, I will come to find you."

"Is it because of the Misty Cloud Sect?" A strange chill flickered in her watery eyes as Xun Er bit her red lips and whispered.

"You could say that. After all, our Xiao Clan has a blood feud with the Misty Cloud Sect. I won't be at ease until the Misty Cloud Sect is destroyed," Xiao Ze said after a moment of silence.

"Xun Er understands, but..."

Xun Er wanted to argue further, but the next second, her red lips were sealed by Xiao Ze's kiss.

"There are no 'whys'—just wait for me." Xiao Ze ruffled her hair, and the two of them tumbled together.

As their breathing grew heavy, Xun Er's eyes gradually became hazy.

Xiao Ze naturally held nothing back; he would treat this final night as a memento.

When she woke up the next day, the bed was empty. Xun Er knew he had left early because he didn't want her to feel sad.

After leaving the comfort of Xun Er's embrace, Xiao Ze did not depart immediately but instead went to the room where Xiao Yi Xian was staying.

After all, she was his first wife, and he had to offer some words of comfort before parting.

"Xiao Yi Xian, once I am gone, the Xiao Clan will rely on you." Pulling Xiao Yi Xian into his arms, Xiao Ze felt a deep reluctance to leave.

But to reach the pinnacle of the continent as soon as possible, he had to move forward.

"It's fine. With me here, you can rest assured. No ordinary cultivator will be able to step even half a foot near the Xiao Clan."

Compared to Xun Er's reluctance to let go, Xiao Yi Xian was much more open-minded about it.

To make it up to her, Xiao Ze decided to spend the night properly with her.

Meanwhile, the younger generation of the Xiao Clan had already headed to the plaza to participate in the Jia Nan Academy examinations, and the vast Xiao Clan estate suddenly became quiet.

Two days later, having arranged everything, Xiao Ze prepared to head to the Tagor Desert to subdue Queen Medusa.

However, before that, he had to make a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range; there was an opportunity waiting for him there.

With Xiao Yi Xian in the Xiao Clan, they had nothing to fear from an average Dou Emperor.

As for Ya Fei, they had agreed to meet in the Imperial Capital, and as for Xun Er, he would see her at Jia Nan Academy.

"Misty Cloud Sect, the strong one has arrived!"
