The Freak in Yao Lao's Eyes (Extra Chapter!)

The Pervert in the Eyes of the Yao Lao (Bonus Chapter!)

Perhaps no one would have imagined that he, once the most renowned Alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, would fall into such a wretched state.

A field that's neither ghostly nor demonic.

"I'll talk about becoming a disciple later. I just want to know what the test the senior mentioned was, and why my Dou Qi disappeared into thin air these past few years."

Xiao Yan asked the same question again, his youthful face full of confusion.

"Ahem, it's not easy to find someone with a soul strength that meets the requirements, so naturally this old man can't bear to see your brilliance go to waste."

"Your foundation was weak before. I absorbed all the Dou Qi you had accumulated over the past three years. This old man did this to help you build a solid foundation and temper your character."

The Yao Lao coughed once, speaking in a grand and imposing manner.

"Absorbed by you?"

Xiao Yan blinked in confusion, and after a moment, his expression suddenly darkened, and he spat out the chilling words with difficulty.

"The Dou Qi that mysteriously disappeared from my body, was all your doing, you old bastard?"

"Hehe, the old man is only doing this for your own good. You'll understand later, little one."

"You old bastard, fuck your mother!"

Xiao Yan jumped up like a madman, his face contorted with rage, and actually threw a punch at Yao Lao.

But then, Xiao Yan discovered that the punch had pierced right through Yao Lao's body, and Yao Lao's expression remained the same as before, all smiles.

"A ghost, you're a ghost!?"

Xiao Yan suppressed his fear and said coldly.

"What an ignorant little brat. But do you have to be so furious? All that old man did was absorb three years' Dou Qi."

The Yao Lao smiled and stared at the dumbfounded Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's lips twitched, and he cursed angrily, "Old man, have you no shame? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been humiliated by Nalan Yanran today."

"Do you know how much ridicule you've brought me because you absorbed my Dou Qi?!"

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled.

"But it was precisely during these three years of ridicule that you grew, wasn't it?"

Three years ago, you were arrogant and disdainful of everyone, looking down on all others. Now you possess such forbearance and composure.

"Huh? In this respect, you're nowhere near as good as that little pervert."

The Yao Lao smiled noncommittally, his words merciless as he made a comparison with Nalan Chenfeng.

Ten years ago, his first choice wasn't actually Xiao Yan, but that little freak.

The two are worlds apart in talent, and their soul strength is also different, with Nalan Chenfeng significantly higher.

However, based on his intuition, Nalan Chenfeng did not possess the talent of Alchemist. Furthermore, Nalan Chenfeng left Wu Tan City soon after, and since he had just awakened and his power was limited, the matter was left unresolved.

As it turned out, he hadn't misjudged him.

At only sixteen years old, the opponent had already entered the Dou Wang level, and was even Six-Star Dou King. His foundation was extremely solid, and his soul power was comparable to that of Peak Dou Emperor.

This achievement is beyond description; compared to the other two, Xiao Yan pales in comparison.

However, he was confident that he could raise the little guy in front of him.

"Is this what they call a test?--"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, but his mood gradually calmed down.

No wonder his talent returned today; it turns out this old guy wasn't absorbing his Dou Qi. But if it was this old guy who was behind it, why did Brother Chenfeng say that Nalan Yanran was his benefactor?

That's true. He might not be able to find this old guy, but Brother Chenfeng, with his Dou Wang strength, would definitely have some knowledge of it. If Nalan Yanran hadn't come today, then Brother Chenfeng wouldn't have come to the Xiao Clan either.

In that case, who knows how long this old guy will have to hide, delaying his cultivation.

How awful!

In just a moment, Xiao Yan began to fill in the blanks in his mind, perfectly connecting the events.

"Brother Chenfeng isn't coming today, are you going to stay away, old man?"

Xiao Yan stared intently at Yao Lao, waiting for an answer.

"The old man wanted you to experience more stimulation before reappearing; it doesn't really have much to do with him."

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan without hiding anything.

"Then there still is--"

With his answer now clear, Xiao Yan felt even more grateful to Nalan Chenfeng.

Faced with this old thing that was draining his Dou Qi, he only had Brother Chenfeng to rely on in the entire Xiao Clan.

His father and the Xiao Clan family couldn't help him.

Only a Dou Wang expert could make this old guy show himself; otherwise, who knows how long he could hide.

Even if this is a so-called test, his foundation is unstable and his temperament is not good. He can be reduced to the Third Stage of Dou Qi. Why should he absorb his Dou Qi for three whole years? These three years are such a precious time!

"Although I don't know who you are or why you're among my mother's belongings, I don't like having someone who absorbs my Dou Qi around me."

"I can't afford to support you, and I don't want to put you through this kind of ordeal again. You can find another host."

Xiao Yan's expression was resolute as he issued the order to leave.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can at least avoid them.

He had made up his mind that no matter how much sweet talk the old man gave him, he would never let him stay by his side again.

It's foolish to keep someone around who can absorb your Dou Qi at any time.

"Hehe, no one else has your kind of powerful soul perception."

The Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled, "Since this old man has chosen to show himself today, I certainly will not absorb your Dou Qi again without your permission."

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, gave a cold laugh, and remained silent.

"Little guy, don't you want to become stronger? Don't you want to be respected like that little freak?"

Although he had already decided to avoid Yao Lao in his heart, Xiao Yan's heart still couldn't help but pound upon hearing these words.

"I now know why my Dou Qi disappeared. My talent has returned. Do I still need you to become stronger?"

"As for being like Brother Chenfeng, I don't believe I have that ability. I've never been able to beat him since we were kids."

Taking a slow breath, Xiao Yan refused again.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Accepting a favor from a stranger for no reason is not a wise decision.

Moreover, this stranger had ill intentions to begin with; who knows if he also wanted to absorb his Dou Qi?

He didn't believe in such a pie-in-the-sky promise as catching up with Brother Chenfeng, who was already Dou Wang expert.

"Little guy, you have quite a bit of talent, but you need to know that you're already fifteen years old, and your Dou Qi is only at the third level."

"You'll be undergoing your family's coming-of-age ceremony next year, right? Do you really think you can reach the Seventh Stage Dou Qi in just one year through diligent cultivation alone?"

"And that girl who came to break off the engagement today is that little pervert's sister. You made a bet with her three years ago, and you want to catch up with her and surpass her? That won't be easy."

"Some things you only know after you've tried them. Are you some kind of little guy who's born liking to kneel before women? You can't be that shameless."

"Is it backbone?"

Yao Lao's wrinkled, aged face now resembled a blooming chrysanthemum, his smile accompanied by words that constantly provoked Xiao Yan.

"Old man, if you hadn't absorbed my Dou Qi, would I be so far behind her?"

"She might not even call off the engagement, it's all because of you, you old geezer!"

Touched on a sore spot by Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's face darkened again, and he angrily cursed through gritted teeth, immediately unleashing a barrage of words at Yao Lao.

After unleashing a torrent of curses, Xiao Yan calmed down again.

Now that things have come to this, cursing the old man won't help.

In the cultivation of Dou Qi, the foundation is especially important. I started practicing qi at the age of four and it took me six whole years to reach the ninth level of Dou Qi.

Even if his talent has recovered, it's practically impossible for him to cultivate his Seventh Stage Dou Qi within a year.

With a frustrated sigh, Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Lao, who was feigning profundity, and a thought struck him.

"So, you've just said there's a way?"

"Good."

Yao Lao nodded in agreement, seemingly unconcerned about Xiao Yan's scolding, as if he knew he was in the wrong.

"Old man, you helped me reach the Seventh Stage Dou Qi in a year, so the matter of you absorbing my Dou Qi for three years will be wiped clean. How about it?"

Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Yan tentatively asked.

"Hehe, that sounds like a good suggestion, but you'll have to become an apprentice first."

The Yao Lao pretended to ponder for a moment, then patiently guided her.

"Then let me reach the Seven-Stage Dou Qi first, and then I'll call you teacher."

Xiao Yan responded very tactfully.

"You're quite clever."

Looking at the smooth-talking Xiao Yan, Yao Lao was stunned for a moment.

If you want me to keep you by my side, you'd better show some sincerity, right?

Xiao Yan shrugged and began to state his terms.

"Sharp-tongued, that little freak didn't beat you enough when you were a kid, did he?"

The Yao Lao apothecary landed on the ground, saying with a hint of regret.

"You old man, you actually take children's play seriously?"

Xiao Yan retorted.

It's shameful to be hit, but it depends on who it is, especially when you're a child.

However, he was quite grateful to Brother Chenfeng. Of all the people present, he only kicked him once, but the slap he gave Nalan Yanran was beyond his expectations.

Brother Chenfeng is a reasonable person. He respects his father enough, and there's nothing wrong with him.

Without the deterrent presence of a Dou Wang expert, this old guy would be a huge problem.

"Alright, alright, what can I do? I need your help, little one."

Yao Lao nodded helplessly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan several times before a wicked smile of triumph appeared on his face.

"Little one, do you want to become Alchemist?"

On the other side.

In the guest courtyard.

Not long after seeing Ya Fei off, Nalan Chenfeng welcomed another distinguished guest.

Gu Xun'er, the eldest daughter of the Gu Clan.

"Greetings, Brother Chenfeng."

Gu Xun'er stood at the courtyard gate, her light blue dress fluttering in the breeze, her long black hair tied back with a plain ribbon, revealing her delicate and flawless snow-white face.

As she grew older, Gu Xun'er blossomed into an even more beautiful and refined woman. The calm and serene temperament in her eyes, which was beyond her years, made her seem like a lotus quietly blooming in a secluded valley, untouched by worldly dust.

Compared to her sickly appearance when she was young, Gu Xun'er's complexion is now much better, and the paleness that once lingered between her brows has completely disappeared.

"Xun'er."

Nalan Chenfeng sat on the stone bench and gestured with his hand.

Please have a seat.

Gu Xun'er was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Nalan Chenfeng to invite her to sit down so readily.

She thought that given the other party's usual aloof attitude, they would dismiss her with a few words.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Seeing that Gu Xun'er was standing still, Nalan Chenfeng smiled.

"Brother Chenfeng is joking."

Gu Xun'er stepped into the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench opposite Nalan Chenfeng. Her movements were light and natural, and her slender figure outlined a soft arc.

"Xun'er sister Xun'er, is there something you need?"
