Changing One's Life

Having taken the eighth-grade Primordial Origin Pill, reality differed from the simulation.

Xiao Yan's appetite had grown considerably. The Xiao Clan had found three young wet nurses, who had to take turns just to keep up with his needs.

Each young woman was beautiful, dressed in exquisitely made qipaos that clung tightly to their shapely bodies. The two graceful curves resembled twin proud peaks, while beneath their qipaos stretched two slender, snow-white jade legs. Their every inch exuded the charm of mature married women.

Throughout Xiao Yan's growth, the Primordial Origin Pill continued to work its effects.

As time passed, Xiao Yan was shocked to discover that he seemed to have underestimated the effects of an eighth-grade pill.

In just one year, he had gained strength no less than that of an adult man.

Super version: Innate Divine Strength!

That phrase automatically surfaced in Xiao Yan's mind.

Not only that, Xiao Yan discovered that his soul perception was astonishingly powerful as well.

Even the ants in the grass around the room—if he wanted to look, he could count them clearly.

According to the cultivation knowledge of the Jia Ma Empire, there were no cultivation techniques for soul power.

Other than growing with age, increasing one's realm and strength, or obtaining certain special heavenly treasures, soul power had no possibility of improvement.

The eighth-grade Primordial Origin Pill clearly possessed medicinal effects that Xiao Yan could not understand, strengthening him in every aspect, including his soul power.

Xiao Yan vaguely felt that the reason he had cultivated so quickly in his first simulation was because he had lived two lives and possessed a powerful soul.

Now, at just one year old, he possessed the soul level of someone over ten. Once he began cultivating in the future, his speed would surely be unbelievably fast.

"There isn't any more."

In the antique and fragrant room, Lin Shuiyao, dressed in a pink gown, removed the little hand from her arms, pinched the infant's tender cheek, and slowly placed him in the cradle before her.

After straightening up, Lin Shuiyao slowly tied the crabapple-petal bellyband. The motion of raising her arms made the proud fullness before her appear even more surging.

After tidying her somewhat disheveled dress, Lin Shuiyao's gentle and dignified temperament was fully displayed. Her skin was fair and tender, and every inch of her radiated the alluring aura of a woman in full bloom.

Her lovely hair was tied behind her head, with a lock hanging down from each temple like dark waterfalls. Below her slender willow waist, narrow enough to be held in one hand, were a pair of long legs that made her taller than most women.

Even in her usual state, her full, ample curves rose high before her, stretching her dress into startlingly swollen contours. Every movement she made carried the charm of a mature, beautiful woman.

Turning back to look at her son, who was preparing to sleep, Lin Shuiyao smiled gently. Of the three sons she had borne, Xiao Yan was the most worry-free.

After standing there for a moment, Lin Shuiyao slowly walked out the door.

After finding a comfortable position to lie in and confirming through his perception that no one was around, Xiao Yan, who had originally been drowsy, suddenly became alert, his dark eyes brightening.

The simulation cooldown had ended. This time, he would change his miserable life!

Not only did his grandfather have to survive, but his mother could not die young either. And he himself had to maintain his genius cultivation speed!

With such expectations, Xiao Yan said solemnly in his heart, "Second simulation, begin!"

[First Year: Due to the eighth-grade Primordial Origin Pill, your physical condition is far superior to before. You gradually reveal traits unlike those of ordinary children.]

[Second Year: After more than a year of groundwork, having earned the title of prodigy, you begin attempting cultivation when you are nearly three years old.]

[You choose...]

[A: Display even greater cultivation talent, immediately succeed in cultivation, and embark on an invincible path.]

[B: Temporarily endure and proceed step by step, giving everyone in the Xiao Clan time to adjust.]

After reading the two options, Xiao Yan immediately chose B.

In the previous simulation, Lin Shuiyao had died when he was four years old.

No matter how talented he was, he could not possibly have the ability to treat an illness that even the Xiao Clan had been helpless against.

His only chance still lay with his grandfather, whose strength was greater.

Therefore, if he wanted to make up for both regrets, he first had to find a way to save his grandfather.

[You do not successfully cultivate, but you put on a very convincing performance.]

[Although you fail, everyone encourages you.]

[With the intelligence you have displayed, you are truly extraordinary. If possible, you may successfully cultivate through continued attempts at around three or four years old.]

[Successfully cultivating at that age would absolutely make you a genius among geniuses.]

[Calculating that Xiao Lin would soon be leaving, you begin to exert yourself.]

[Once you become serious, you break through to First Stage Dou Qi the moment you enter a cultivation state.]

[Everyone in the Xiao Clan is greatly shocked and stares at you in disbelief for a long while.]

[Because of this, Xiao Lin decides to remain in the Xiao Clan for the time being and personally oversee your cultivation.]

[Being able to begin cultivation at this age, as long as you grow smoothly, you will certainly break through to become a Dou Huang in the future and lead the Xiao Clan to greater heights.]

"The medicinal power of an eighth-grade Primordial Origin Pill isn't that simple."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly. His life had begun to change!

Not only was his talent stronger, but his family had survived as well.

[Third Year: The enhancement of your aptitude makes your cultivation speed much faster than before. By the end of the year, you break through to Fourth Stage Dou Qi, once again causing an uproar throughout the Xiao Clan.]

[Faced with the praise of countless people, knowing their true faces long ago, your heart remains as still as water. This is only the beginning.]

[Fourth Year: The day before you successfully cultivate in your first simulation, you break through to Fifth Stage Dou Qi.]

[You choose...]

[A: Focus on cultivation and become a young man diligently grinding levels.]

[B: Begin nourishing Xiao Xun'er's meridians. With the strength of Fifth Stage Dou Qi, it should be easier.]

[C: Recall Nalan Yanran's appearance in white thigh-high stockings and remind yourself that you are someone with a marriage contract.]

Looking at the third option, Xiao Yan was full of question marks. "What the hell is Nalan Yanran?"

He knew he would be rejected in marriage, so how could he possibly think of that fiancée who would come to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement?

Over the course of that year, as Xiao Yan occasionally recalled Nalan Yanran's annulment of the engagement in the simulation, his anger gradually turned into something almost amusing.

Nalan Yanran had proposed, "For the Three-Year Pact, the loser will become a servant, while the winner will dissolve the engagement."

Xiao Yan did not know whether to say that Nalan Yanran was overly confident or adorably foolish.

Because Nalan Yanran held absolute initiative in breaking off the engagement, she could even have completed the annulment on the spot.

But if she lost the Three-Year Pact she had proposed, her outcome would be even more miserable than Xiao Yan's after having his engagement dissolved.

Fifteen-year-old Nalan Yanran was ultimately too young. For no reason, she had planted a bomb for herself.

Regarding the entire annulment incident, Xiao Yan believed that Nalan Yanran was not wrong for wanting to dissolve the engagement, but her method was wrong.
