"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Do not despise a poor youth!"

In the Xiao Family hall of Wu Tan City, Xiao Yan's steely words made Nalan Yanran's delicate body tremble.

The Xiao Family members were equally shaken!

Ding! The Invincible Lottery System was activating... Activation complete! Would the host like to bind it?

At one side of the hall, Xiao Lei watched this most classic scene with a distant gaze when a mechanical notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

A system?

Hearing that voice, Xiao Lei was instantly overjoyed and no longer had the mind to watch the show.

He was a transmigrator. Fifteen years ago, he had been reborn into the world of Battle Through the Heavens.

Before transmigrating, Xiao Lei had read countless books, just like the handsome readers before the screen, so he was naturally no stranger to systems.

Originally, Xiao Lei had planned to cling to the future Flame Emperor's thigh, but he had never expected to receive a cheat of his own!

"Bind!" Xiao Lei responded in his heart without hesitation.

Ding! Binding system... Binding successful!

"System, what functions do you have?"

After the system was successfully bound, Xiao Lei asked in his heart.

Ding! This system is the Invincible Lottery System. As long as the host touches another living being, random rewards can be obtained!

Note: The greater the luck of the living being touched by the host, the higher the chance of obtaining a reward. The quality of the reward is random! In addition, each living being can yield rewards at most ten times per year!

A lottery system? I like it!

But I had to wait a little longer.

After figuring out the system's functions, Xiao Lei refocused his attention on the events unfolding in the hall.

By then, Xiao Yan had already written a letter of divorce, cut open his palm, and pressed a bloody handprint onto it before slamming it onto the table in front of Nalan Yanran.

"From this day onward, you, Nalan Yanran, have nothing whatsoever to do with my Xiao Family!"

"Y-You dare divorce me?"

Staring at the blood-marked contract on the table, Nalan Yanran's eyes widened in disbelief, as though it all felt unreal.

Xiao Lei shook his head slightly as he watched Nalan Yanran's expression. She was nothing more than a spoiled, rebellious girl.

"Father, three years from now, Yan'er will go to the Misty Cloud Sect and personally wash away today's humiliation for you!"

Ignoring Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan suddenly turned, dropped to his knees, and heavily kowtowed to Xiao Zhan. Then he rose directly to his feet and strode out of the hall without hesitation.

Nalan Yanran's breaking of the engagement was not only a humiliation for Xiao Yan. As his father, Xiao Zhan would also be ridiculed by others.

That was why Xiao Yan had said those words.

After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Zhan dismissed Nalan Yanran and her two companions with a cold face, returning the Qi Gathering Powder to them as well.

"Everyone, disperse!"

Xiao Zhan's expression was terribly grim. He spoke faintly, then was the first to leave the hall.

Xiao Lei silently watched everything without saying a word.

He was merely a junior who had just broken through to the Dou Zhe realm. He only had the right to listen in.

In this world where the strong were respected, only strength gave one the right to speak!

Of course, having a background so powerful that no one dared provoke you would work as well.

However, Xiao Lei did not have such conditions.

His parents had died early, leaving him an orphan. Fortunately, his talent was not bad, and the clan gave him some care.

Xiao Lei followed the crowd out of the Xiao Family hall, intending to find Xiao Yan and test his luck with a draw.

When it came to luck, who could compare with Xiao Yan?

"Brother Xiao Lei, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a light and pleasant voice sounded beside Xiao Lei's ear.

Xiao Lei returned to his senses and looked in the direction of the voice.

A girl of around fourteen was walking toward him with a smile.

She wore a purple dress, and her temperament was elegant and serene, like a purple lotus blooming amid the mortal world—pure, beautiful, and untouched by dust.

This girl was Gu Xun'er of the Ancient Clan, who was temporarily residing with the Xiao Family.

Of course, she was currently called Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Lei smiled slightly and casually said, "I was thinking about a beautiful girl."

Xiao Xun'er said sourly, "Who is she?"

"Hmm, I think her name is Xiao Xun'er," Xiao Lei said, putting on a thoughtful expression.

"Brother Xiao Lei is teasing me again," Xiao Xun'er said with a coquettish pout, though an involuntary smile appeared in her eyes.

As a transmigrator, Xiao Lei naturally would not overlook a little rich girl like Xun Er. He had been close to her since childhood.

As for Xiao Yan, his relationship with Xun Er could only be called ordinary. Naturally, the matter of him nourishing her meridians had never happened.

Xiao Lei reached out and rubbed Xiao Xun'er's hair, saying with a light smile, "Little Sister Xun Er is the most beautiful girl in my heart."

Ding! You touched Gu Xun'er and obtained the High-Level Earth Rank Cultivation Method, "Thunderclap Skill"!

In the next instant, the system's mechanical notification sounded in Xiao Lei's mind.

Hearing that voice, Xiao Lei was instantly delighted.

He had broken through to the One-Star Dou Zhe realm yesterday and had intended to select a cultivation method today, but Nalan Yanran's broken engagement had delayed him.

Now, this cultivation method had arrived at exactly the right time.

"Brother Xiao Lei, did you smear honey on your lips? You only know how to say nice things," Xiao Xun'er said, though her heart was brimming with sweetness.

After all, what girl did not like being praised for her beauty?

Especially when the praise came from someone she liked.

"I'm only telling the truth," Xiao Lei said softly, extending a finger to lightly scrape Xun Er's delicate, upturned nose.

To Xiao Lei's surprise, the system's reward notification sounded in his mind once more.

Ding! You touched Gu Xun'er and obtained one Thunder Essence Fruit! Note: Only Thunder Attribute cultivators may use it. While increasing cultivation, it can also temper the body and consolidate one's realm!

Xiao Lei was delighted, but he revealed nothing on his face. He chatted with Xun Er for a while longer, occasionally making physical contact, but no further rewards appeared.

After talking for a while and agreeing to go shopping together the next day, the two temporarily parted ways.

After thinking it over, Xiao Lei turned and continued toward the Xiao Family Back Mountain, intending to try his luck with Xiao Yan.

He had only just stepped onto the mountain path when he saw Xiao Yan already coming down the mountain.

"Cousin Xiao Lei, I was just looking for you," Xiao Yan said, his eyes lighting up as soon as he saw Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei and Xiao Yan were both fifteen, but Xiao Lei was three months older, so Xiao Yan called him cousin.

Xiao Lei smiled and asked, "What do you need me for?"

Xiao Yan said somewhat awkwardly, "I... I want to borrow some money from you."

Borrow money?

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Lei's heart stirred.

It seemed Yao Chen had already awakened, and Xiao Yan was about to rise.

In the original story, Xiao Yan had borrowed money from Xiao Xun'er.

But now, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er only had an ordinary relationship, so he found it difficult to ask her.

Xiao Lei, on the other hand, had always treated Xiao Yan well because he wanted to cling to his thigh, regardless of whether Xiao Yan's genius halo remained.

Therefore, in the entire Xiao Family, apart from Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan's two brothers, Xiao Yan was closest to Xiao Lei.

With that in mind, Xiao Lei smiled and said, "No problem. How much do you plan to borrow?"

Rubbing his hands together, Xiao Yan said, "One thousand Gold Coins. Do you have that much?"

"I do. Come with me to get it," Xiao Lei said with a slight nod.

Xiao Lei's savings over the years amounted to just over one thousand Gold Coins, but he did not feel reluctant to lend them to Xiao Yan.

Now that he had a cheat, a mere thousand Gold Coins were not worth mentioning.

"Alright," Xiao Yan agreed, then headed toward Xiao Lei's residence with him.

After returning to his residence, Xiao Lei opened the door, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"There are over a thousand Gold Coins here. Take them and use them first."

"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Lei. I'll definitely repay you as soon as possible," Xiao Yan thanked Xiao Lei before accepting the money pouch.

Xiao Lei patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to rush. I rarely have any use for money."

"Also, don't lose heart over cultivation. I believe in you. One day, you'll rise again and slap the faces of everyone who looks down on you!"

At the same time, the system's mechanical voice sounded once again.
