How Could It Be Xiao Xun'er?

In Wutan City, at the Xiao Family's Disciple Square.

The Sky Screen had just finished revealing its contents, and the golden light slowly faded away. Yet the people standing in the square remained unable to recover their senses for a long while.

Xiao Yan stood amid the crowd, his expression a mixture of complicated emotions and shock. He had just seen what the Sky Screen revealed—Queen Medusa was actually the future wife of that mysterious expert, Lu Chuan.

"The Snake-People Tribe's Queen... is actually going to marry Lu Chuan?" Xiao Yan muttered, unable to hide his astonishment.

Xiao Zhan, beside him, had also seen what was displayed on the Sky Screen. "Queen Medusa is the leader of the Snake-People Tribe in the Jia Ma Empire, a Dou Emperor-level expert. Even within the Jia Ma Empire, she can be considered a dominant figure."

"But on second thought, compared to a Nine-Star Dou Saint, a Dou Emperor truly falls far short. It does not seem all that surprising that she would marry such an expert."

At that moment, several Xiao Family disciples began discussing it among themselves.

"I have heard of Queen Medusa before. She is an incredibly proud woman. She is actually getting married?"

"What woman would not want to marry a Nine-Star Dou Saint? No matter how proud Queen Medusa is, before an expert of that level, she is nothing more than an ordinary person."

"That is true. Marrying a Nine-Star Dou Saint is a blessing earned over countless lifetimes."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Xiao Yan did not know what he was feeling. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a new light suddenly lit up on the Sky Screen.

Everyone froze for a moment and looked up. The image on the Sky Screen abruptly changed, presenting an entirely new scene before them.

In the image, a pregnant woman was standing beside Queen Medusa. The two appeared to be extremely close.

When they clearly saw the woman's face, cries of shock instantly erupted throughout the Xiao Family's Disciple Square. That person was none other than Xiao Xun'er!

The moment they saw this, Xiao Ning, Xiao Yan, and the others were all stunned. Every one of them widened their eyes and stood rooted to the spot.

Especially Xiao Ning, who had liked Xiao Xun'er for a long time. Pointing at the Sky Screen, he cried out in shock, "Th-that is Xun'er?! Why is Xun'er on the Sky Screen?!"

Hearing Xiao Ning's words, Xiao Yan also saw Xiao Xun'er in the image. He froze completely, standing motionless as the confusion on his face turned into utter shock. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed the scene revealed above.

He had always thought Xiao Xun'er would marry him in the future. They had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, and Xiao Xun'er had always been exceptionally close to him. Long ago, Xiao Yan had already regarded Xiao Xun'er as his future wife.

Yet the Sky Screen now clearly showed Xiao Xun'er standing beside Lu Chuan with a swollen belly, appearing alongside Queen Medusa.

What did that mean?

It meant that Xiao Xun'er would not only marry Lu Chuan in the future, but would also become his wife alongside Queen Medusa. Could this Lu Chuan be planning to enjoy the company of two wives?

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression became indescribably ugly. His mouth opened several times as if he wanted to say something, but not a single word came out.

Xiao Xun'er, standing not far away, had also seen the contents of the Sky Screen. Her face instantly turned red.

Her expression also went blank as she stared at her own figure on the Sky Screen, her mind utterly empty.

She had never imagined that she would marry that mysterious expert in the future. Was it real? Would she even become his wife alongside Queen Medusa?

As she thought of this, Xiao Xun'er's face grew redder and redder, while her heartbeat accelerated.

She truly had not expected the Sky Screen to reveal something like this, much less that she would share a husband with Queen Medusa in the future.

At that thought, Xiao Xun'er immediately bit her lip. Her face was filled with both shock and shyness, and even she did not know how to face what was happening before her.

Several female Xiao Family disciples beside her saw her expression and could not help whispering among themselves.

"My heavens, Miss Xun'er is actually going to marry that expert Lu Chuan, and together with Queen Medusa too. Both of them will be his wives..."

"I never expected Miss Xun'er to have such a fortune in the future. Marrying a Nine-Star Dou Saint-level expert is truly a single step to the heavens."

"I always thought Miss Xun'er would end up with Xiao Yan, but who would have thought..."

That female disciple did not finish her words, but everyone around her understood what she meant. After all, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er had always been seen as a pair within the Xiao Family. They were childhood sweethearts, and everyone had thought they would marry in the future.

Yet the Sky Screen showed that Xiao Xun'er had married someone else—and even married him alongside another woman.

After hearing the people around him discussing it, Xiao Yan's expression naturally became even worse, and his fists unconsciously clenched.

At the same time, complicated emotions welled up within him. Beyond the shock, there was an even greater sense of powerlessness.

If the person Xiao Xun'er was going to marry in the future had been an ordinary man, then he could still have fought for her.

But that person was Lu Chuan, a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, one of the most powerful existences on the entire Dou Qi Continent. What could he possibly use to compete with him?

At that thought, a wave of bitterness surged through his heart.

Xiao Xun'er, however, did not notice the change in Xiao Yan's expression. At that moment, all her attention was focused on the image on the Sky Screen.

In the image, she was heavily pregnant, with a happy smile on her face. She looked utterly content and at ease. As Xiao Xun'er watched herself in the image, her heart beat faster and faster.

She had never thought about what kind of man she would marry in the future, much less imagined that she would share a husband with another woman.

But the Sky Screen displayed events from the future. In other words, she really would become one of Lu Chuan's wives.

At that thought, Xiao Xun'er's mind became a mess. She did not know whether she should feel shy, shocked, or expectant.

The image on the Sky Screen lingered for quite some time before slowly dissipating, but the people in the square remained where they were, unable to regain their senses for a long while.

Xiao Zhan, especially, as the clan leader, looked at Xiao Yan and then at Xiao Xun'er. He sighed inwardly, not knowing what to say.

He then stepped forward and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder. "Come on. Go back and get some rest first."

Xiao Yan nodded silently and followed Xiao Zhan as they turned toward the rooms. Even as he left, he could not help looking back once in Xiao Xun'er's direction.

Xiao Xun'er was still standing there, staring blankly toward where the Sky Screen had vanished, a faint flush on her face.
