Xiao Yan's Special Fetish, Yan'er's Second Target!

Wu Tan City, Xiao Clan.

Everyone had waited dryly from early morning until after noon.

Only because Qi Yan'er wanted lunch did they finally arrive at the Xiao Family Hall.

The hall was quite spacious, and many people were already inside.

They were naturally the men, women, young, and old of the Xiao Clan whom Xiao Zhan had summoned in advance.

After the guests and hosts took their seats.

Qi Yan'er sat beside Nalan Yanran on her own, eating delicious food.

Nalan Yanran was deeply puzzled by this.

They had eaten quite a lot while shopping earlier.

Yet this child's stomach seemed like a bottomless pit. No matter how much she ate, she never got full...

Xiao Zhan sat in the seat of honor, his gaze sweeping across the hall.

When he noticed that his son Xiao Yan had yet to arrive, his expression darkened somewhat.

For no other reason.

This matter would surely be blown out of proportion by those three old fools below!

Sure enough, the Three Elders of the Xiao Family wore smiles on their aged faces. After exchanging glances, they understood one another without words.

At the same time.

Led by the old steward, Xiao Zhan had already arrived outside the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

After respectfully knocking a few times, Xiao Yan gently pushed the door open and entered.

The first people he saw were the ones most familiar to him.

His father and the three expressionless Elders sat above. To their left sat the clan's influential elders and outstanding younger generation.

On the other side sat three strangers.

"Distinguished guests!"

Xiao Yan's deep gaze swept over the three of them.

The elderly man among them smiled warmly at the other two, giving off the impression that he was easy to get along with.

Yet the badge on his chest made Xiao Yan's heart sink.

Seven Star Great Dou Shi!

This kind and amiable old man was actually a Seven Star Great Dou Shi, two stars above even his father. One truly could not judge a person by appearance!

Beside the old man sat a beautiful young woman and a pretty little girl!

A little girl!!

Everyone knew that Xiao Yan had transmigrated here.

Though he was only in his teens now, his true age was at least close to forty!

He had a very special... fixation on little girls.

After examining her carefully, Xiao Yan discovered that this little girl really was adorable!

Her hair was tied into two ponytails, and traces of food still remained around her delicate little mouth...

While eating, Qi Yan'er sensed someone looking at her. When she lifted her eyes, she saw Xiao Yan staring at her intently.

Qi Yan'er was instantly disgusted. Pouting her little lips, she said:

"Creep...!!!"

"Uh..."

Xiao Yan did not understand, and hurriedly shifted his gaze away guiltily.

He turned his attention to the beautiful young woman.

This young woman was about the same age as him.

To his surprise, she was far more beautiful than many of the girls in the Xiao Clan.

Even Xiao Mei could not compare.

The only one who could rival her was Xun Er, who always called him "Brother Xiao Yan."

Green jade pendants hung from the young woman's delicate earlobes. They swayed gently, making crisp sounds and lending her an air of sudden nobility.

Yet her face and eyes held an extreme tenderness.

That doting gaze was naturally fixed on the little girl beside her.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan's heart twisted like it was being cut by a blade.

She was so young...

And she already had such a grown daughter?

Wouldn't that make the little girl's father a beast too?

Pah!

Xiao Yan hurriedly rejected that thought. How could he call himself a beast?

I merely wanted to make a move on a four-year-old girl when I was "five," that's all!

Hmph~

Xiao Yan snorted coldly in his heart:

Nalan Yanran, if you humiliate me today, don't blame me for making a move on your daughter!

"Father, Three Elders!"

Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the four people seated above.

"Hehe, Yan'er is here. Hurry and take a seat."

Seeing Xiao Yan arrive, Xiao Zhan nodded and gave him a look.

The father and son understood each other perfectly.

Xiao Yan knew this meant he should sit down quickly, lest someone seize upon the matter.

Smiling, Xiao Yan nodded. He acted as though he had not seen the contemptuous and impatient looks from the three Elders.

But when he looked toward the seats on the other side of the hall, he found that there was no seat for him at all!

Xiao Yan's heart trembled.

What was coming had still come!

Xiao Zhan, who had been chatting amiably with Ge Ye, also noticed something was wrong.

When he saw Xiao Yan still standing there in a daze, anger flashed across his face. Frowning at the Second Elder, who was responsible for this matter, he said:

"Second Elder, you..."

"Ahem, my sincerest apologies. I actually forgot the Third Young Master. Clan Head, you know that there has never been a seat for him."

The Second Elder deliberately slapped his forehead in "self-reproach."

"I'll have someone prepare one immediately!"

"Brother Xiao Yan, sit here!"

Just then, a young woman's faint laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.

The three Elders were slightly stunned. When they saw it was this young woman, they seemed to want to speak but stopped themselves, not daring to say anything further!

The young woman's voice drew everyone's attention, including Qi Yan'er, who was still eating.

Qi Yan'er looked over curiously.

When she saw an elegant young woman in a green dress holding a book, she could not help feeling a little surprised.

"Big Sister Yanran, it seems Xiao Yan isn't as simple as we thought!"

"Oh?"

Nalan Yanran did not quite understand.

Seeing how innocent she looked, Qi Yan'er licked the corner of her lips and chuckled.

"Have you considered that if he were truly a useless good-for-nothing, why would that girl, whom even the three old men fear, step in to help him out?"

"Mm."

Nalan Yanran nodded, finding it rather reasonable.

Yet she still said softly and firmly:

"So what? Whether he is trash or a genius, I, Nalan Yanran, will decide my own fate!"

"Okay~"

Qi Yan'er took another bite of her apple, her little mouth moving adorably.

But her large watery eyes were already fixed on the young woman in the corner.

Daddy~

Yan'er's second target... has appeared!

Luo Fan Village.

"Achoo~"

Qi Fan, who was taking an afternoon nap, suddenly sneezed.

"It must be Yan'er thinking about me!"

"I wonder how she's doing now. She hasn't needed me for an entire day!"

A corner of the Xiao Family Hall.

Xiao Xun'er smiled, her temperament elegant and composed, and cutely blinked at Xiao Yan.

Looking at Xun Er's smiling little face, Xiao Yan rubbed the tip of his nose, then walked over amid the jealous gazes of many youths.

"You helped me out again."

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

Xiao Xun'er smiled faintly, her slender fingers once again opening the ancient book in her hands.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know who they are?"

"You know?"

Xiao Yan asked despite knowing the answer, looking somewhat surprised.

Xun Er raised her eyes toward the three people seated over there.

"There are cloud-and-silver-sword patterns on the cuffs of their robes. That is enough to reveal their identities."

"Misty Cloud Sect!"

Xiao Yan's expression darkened.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Xun'er said calmly:

"It seems that even without me telling you, Brother Xiao Yan already knows why they have come."

"Xun Er~"

Xiao Yan nodded. After hesitating for a long while, he finally asked:

"Do you think... that little girl could be her child?"

"..."

Xiao Xun'er was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Why would her Brother Xiao Yan have such an abnormal and perverted thought?

That adorable little girl was young, but she was already six or seven years old.

If she were Nalan Yanran's child, wouldn't that mean Nalan Yanran had been under ten...

At this thought, Xiao Xun'er's pretty face suddenly changed!

Her once elegant gaze abruptly turned cold.

Could the person sitting beside her have entertained such thoughts too?
