"Uncle Xiao, the Foundation Elixir is no longer of any use to me. Once Second Elder brings that bottle of Foundation Elixir back, have him give it to Xiao Yan." With the matter of the broken engagement settled, Xiao Ni smiled at Xiao Zhan, then left the Council Hall.
Xiao Xun'er picked up the book that had fallen to the floor and quickly followed after him.
"Kid, how can you go to the Misty Cloud Sect with Xiao Ni? You should be coming with me to train in the Magic Beast Mountain Range." Once the two had gone far enough away, Yao Lao's voice entered Xiao Yan's mind.
"Brother Ni has already promised to help refine a body for you within three years. Just follow in his footsteps with me." Xiao Yan comforted Yao Lao in his heart before asking, "By the way, have you decided what fourth-tier medicinal pill to refine?"
"I have. The materials will cost around three million gold coins. Later, just auction off two sets of Dou Techniques, and you won't have to worry about money anymore."
"What grade of Dou Techniques? Can I learn them first before auctioning them off?" Xiao Yan asked expectantly.
"Uh... you'll find out tomorrow morning when we go to the auction house." Yao Lao sounded somewhat awkward. The Dou Techniques he wanted Xiao Yan to auction were precisely the Flame-Splitting Wave-Shattering Ruler and Eight Extremes Collapse. However, Xiao Ni had already given Xiao Yan both techniques, and the versions he had given were a full tier higher than the ones Yao Lao possessed. He was honestly too embarrassed to say it aloud.
He had plenty of Dou Techniques and cultivation methods on him, but most of them were too shabby. Even if he wanted to auction something, he could not lower his own standards. After thinking it over, since Xiao Ni's improved versions of those two Dou Techniques already existed, the lower-tier versions were useless to him. He might as well auction them off and get Xiao Yan some spending money.
"So mysterious. Fine, even if the Dou Techniques you bring out aren't as good as the ones Brother Ni gave me, they probably won't be too bad. Still, it would be such a pity to auction off such good Dou Techniques." Seeing that Yao Lao refused to reveal any details, Xiao Yan stopped pressing the matter. He nodded at Xiao Zhan and went back to training.
Although Yao Lao said he still could not use the hidden force of Eight Extremes Collapse, he still wanted to consolidate his mastery of it. He was going to take Xiao Ni as his master, after all. If his control over Dou Techniques was not flexible enough, that would be far too embarrassing for Xiao Ni.
"Even though I've used up the Foundation Elixir, that doesn't stop me from taking a bath." After returning to his room, Xiao Ni shut the doors and windows, added some hot water to the wooden tub, removed his clothes, and stepped inside.
A bath could ease the fatigue in his body and put him in a better mood. After casually chatting with Xiao Xun'er for a while earlier, he had parted ways with her.
"Bath's over. Time to head to the Mittel Auction House." Xiao Ni had just finished bathing and was about to get dressed when someone kicked his door open. The door panel slammed onto the floor, sending dust flying everywhere.
At that moment, a tall woman with fair, slender legs stood arrogantly outside. Her eyes were fixed directly on Xiao Ni, filled with fury and utterly devoid of shyness.
Seeing this woman with the aura of an older beauty, Xiao Ni felt a headache coming on. Xiao Yu, the owner of the finest legs in Battle Through the Heavens, had returned.
"Damn it, why do both you siblings love kicking down other people's doors and watching them bathe?" Xiao Ni rolled his eyes irritably. If he had even a little less shame, he would have immediately pounced on Xiao Yu and pinned her to the ground for a thorough lesson.
"Xiao Ni, you bastard! Not only did you beat my brother, you even swindled so much money from my father. Today, I'll seek justice for them!"
"Is this your idea of justice? Acting like a hooligan in front of me? Come on, touch wherever you want, as long as you can afford it." Xiao Ni stood up directly from the wooden tub, and Xiao Yu immediately turned around with an angry blush.
"Xiao Ni, you bastard!" Xiao Yu gritted her silver teeth. Her pair of beautiful long legs appeared and disappeared beneath the qipao, making Xiao Ni unable to resist taking a few more looks.
When they were young, he and Xiao Yan had once been playing hide-and-seek when he accidentally wandered into the pool and saw Xiao Yu bathing. Afterwards, he could not resist touching her long legs a few times, and Xiao Yu chased him around and beat him for seven whole days. Even now, she had never shown him a pleasant expression.
"I'm dressed now. It's time to talk about compensating me for my door. Xiao Ning only replaced it for me two days ago." Xiao Ni quickly walked behind Xiao Yu, his gaze lingering on her beautiful legs.
Honestly, he had not expected Xiao Ning to go complain to Xiao Yu over such a minor matter, nor had he expected Xiao Yu to return so quickly. Fortunately, he was much stronger than Xiao Yu now. Otherwise, he would have suffered badly.
"Where are you looking?" Xiao Yu turned around and discovered Xiao Ni staring at her thighs with a strange look. The veins on her forehead immediately bulged.
"If you won't let me look, are you trying to make me touch them instead?" Xiao Ni flexed his hands, a wicked gleam flashing in his eyes, instantly stoking Xiao Yu's anger even further.
Whoosh!
Unable to endure any longer, Xiao Yu suddenly raised her right leg and kicked at Xiao Ni's cheek with a sharp gust of wind.
"Not bad. They feel even better than before." Xiao Ni grabbed Xiao Yu's beautiful leg with one hand and fiercely groped it with the other.
"Bastard! I'll kill you!" Xiao Yu gritted her teeth, her face flushing red with embarrassment. Just as she was about to reach for Xiao Ni's neck, he pressed her shoulders down with his arms and shoved her against the wall.
"Y-You... what are you doing?" Xiao Yu discovered that an overbearing force was pinning her down so completely that she could not raise her arms. She immediately panicked.
She knew that Xiao Ni had already become a Two-Star Dou Practitioner, but she had never expected him to possess such tremendous strength.
"I don't have time to play house with you right now. If you keep making trouble for no reason, I guarantee that every time I see you, I'll touch you ten times. You don't need to pay for the door. Next time you come looking for me, remember to knock." Xiao Ni gave Xiao Yu a vicious warning before turning and leaving.
Watching Xiao Ni's departing figure, Xiao Yu took a long time to recover her senses.
She felt that Xiao Ni seemed to have become much stronger. Even though she was already a Three-Star Dou Practitioner, she was definitely no match for him.
"What exactly did this guy go through? His presence was never this imposing before." Xiao Yu muttered to herself. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Xiao Ning hurrying over.
"Sis, why didn't you tell me you were back? If someone hadn't said they saw you return, I wouldn't even have known. Xiao Ni didn't do anything to you, did he?" Xiao Ning's face was full of worry, afraid that Xiao Yu had been bullied by Xiao Ni.
"Wasn't I in a hurry to vent your and Father's anger?" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes irritably before warning him in a deep voice, "Xiao Ni is far from simple now. Don't provoke him again unless you have to. And Xiao Yan has always been close to him, so don't provoke him either."
"Don't worry, Sis. Even if you gave me eight hundred times the courage, I still wouldn't dare provoke those two anymore." Xiao Ning said with a bitter smile.
Although he had not seen the people from the Misty Cloud Sect today, what had happened had already spread throughout the Xiao Household. There were even scattered rumors in Wutan City. How could he still dare to provoke Xiao Ni and Xiao Yan?
"What happened?" Xiao Yu frowned slightly, feeling as though she had missed something important.
"Today, Nalan Yanran brought people from the Misty Cloud Sect to break off her engagement with Xiao Yan. In the end, Xiao Ni beat up everyone from the Misty Cloud Sect and even made a Three-Year Pact. I wasn't there, but I heard that Mister Ge Ye was a Seven-Star Great Dou Master, even stronger than the clan leader. Yet Xiao Ni forcibly used a secret technique to raise his strength to the Dou Wang level and severely injured Mister Ge Ye. Xiao Ni also said that he would take Xiao Yan to stay at the Misty Cloud Sect for a while later."
"What?!" Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically. She really had missed an enormous event.
