Do Not Bully the Poor Young Man!

"You... should understand that we aren't people from the same world. There... can never be any result between us!"

Although Nalan Yanran had been startled by Xiao Yan's expression, she quickly calmed herself and spoke with a serious look.

"Damn it! Do you think I stepped forward to cling to you desperately? You think you're worthy?!"

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yan's eyes reddened with anger. As he looked at the lofty young girl, his fists clenched until they creaked.

What utter humiliation!

He, Xiao Yan, a dignified transmigrator, was actually being looked down upon and rejected by a little girl, who even wanted to pity him and throw him scraps. How could he endure this?

He really wanted to go up there and kill this bitch!

He had thought that once his strength returned, he would never suffer humiliation again. But right now, the other side was stronger, so he could only endure it. In the end, on this Dou Qi Continent, strength was the only hard truth!

"Hehe, you simply don't understand the true gap between us!"

Nalan Yanran took two steps forward with a cold smile and said rationally, "Don't look at the fact that there are only a few stars between us now. But bluntly speaking, you are in the Xiao Household, while I am in the Misty Cloud Sect. The difference in our standing is destined to make the gap between us grow wider and wider in the future!"

"What I have my eye on is a golden dragon soaring into the skies, while you are, at best, just a loach! So what if you are given ten or twenty years? At most, you'll become a Da Dou Shi, and reaching Dou Ling would already be your limit. As for me, by then I will at least be a Dou Wang, perhaps even a Dou Emperor. What could you possibly use to be worthy of me?"

She had always been proud and arrogant, looking down on everyone. Provoked like this, she showed no mercy as she mocked him, stating what she believed to be the facts!

Logically speaking, Xiao Yan's fate should indeed have been exactly that, but transmigrators were meant to be different from everyone else!

"Haha, hahahaha..."

Nalan Yanran was answered by a burst of wild, unrestrained laughter.

Xiao Yan covered his face, revealing a pair of pitch-black eyes. A dangerous curve slowly formed at the corner of his lips.

"Ten years? Twenty years? The Dou Wang and Dou Emperor you take pride in? What are they worth!"

"You wretched woman, today, in front of my father, you broke off the engagement, trampled the dignity of my Xiao Household beneath your feet, mocked me as an ant, and said I was reaching above myself by wanting you. Very good, truly very good!"

"Three years! Give me three years! I will go to the Misty Cloud Sect and challenge you. By then, who is a dragon or phoenix and who is a worm will be decided! Do you dare accept?!"

The young man's face was utterly serious. With this act, he had wagered all his pride and dignity!

"Three years? Are you sure?"

The proud girl blinked, then slowly shook her head. Her expression was full of disdain and a trace of pity.

"Three years!" Xiao Yan's gaze burned like torches!

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran finally nodded and smiled faintly. "Fine, I'll give you this chance! It is nothing more than an illusory dream of youth. When the time comes, I'll shatter it completely!"

"Three years. I'll wait for you! But remember this: I, Nalan Yanran, will not lose!"

What a joke. With her talent, she cultivated far faster than ordinary people. Coupled with the careful guidance of her Dou Emperor Sect Master, after some experience, she was confident that in three years she could reach the level of Da Dou Shi. Yet with her pride, she dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Dou Ling!

As for Xiao Yan, whether he could even reach Dou Master was still uncertain.

Wouldn't that mean he could be crushed with a single finger, with no chance of ever turning things around!

"Ahhh!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan could not help but lose his mind. His eyes nearly spat fire as he said, "You laugh at my naivety, mock my ignorance, and think I'm unworthy of you, a favored daughter of heaven. But when have I ever taken a liking to you?!"

"The Misty Cloud Sect may be powerful, but it merely dominates one corner, throwing its weight around within the Jia Ma Empire. Do you know that beyond mountains are greater mountains, and beyond skies are greater skies? I, Xiao Yan, am destined to roam a far broader world!"

"I will remember your words, but I will also offer you one piece of advice: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not bully the poor young man!"

At that moment, the young man was incomparably confident. He stood tall with his head held high, his words ringing like steel, his proud bones unyielding.

"What a line—do not bully the poor young man! As expected of my son, he truly has ambition!"

From the seat of honor, Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up. His face was full of relief, and his voice was hearty and bold.

Watching the father and son put on this act together, Nalan Yanran could not help gritting her teeth. In the Misty Cloud Sect, she stood below only one person. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? It was only a small family—what did they have to fight her with?

"What narrow-minded fools! In half a year, you will come of age. By then, breaking off the engagement will not damage your Xiao Household's reputation. I'll wait and see how you turn things around then!"

The girl's voice carried coldness and arrogance. The entire hall first fell silent, and then a leisurely voice rang out.

"Don't worry. With me here, he can't lose."

The voice was gentle and casual, yet it sounded like an inevitable judgment.

As soon as those words were spoken, the hall fell completely silent. Everyone turned their eyes toward the handsome, extraordinary young man in the corner.

"You are... the mysterious man, Xiao Dongchen."

Seeing the young man stand up, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes narrowed. Her pretty face was full of surprise and uncertainty, and she no longer had her earlier arrogance.

Before coming to break off the engagement, her master had solemnly warned her that this person could not be provoked!

"Oh, not at all. You humiliated my good brother like this, so naturally I had to come reason with you."

In just a few steps, Xiao Dongchen arrived before them, smiling as warmly as the spring breeze.

"Hehe, with just you, I can knock you down with one hand!"

Seeing that it was merely a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy stepping forward, the handsome young man who had remained silent all this time could no longer sit still. He bared his teeth in a cold sneer.

What was wrong with people these days? Every stray cat and dog could step out and boast a few words. How could the tiny Xiao Household produce two such hidden dragons and young prodigies? What a joke.

"Fight me? Are you sure?"

Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Dongchen's face deepened. Throwing your weight around and bullying the young with your age—was this the Misty Cloud Sect's way?

Unfortunately, you had kicked an iron plate. No matter how weak a young dragon was, it was not something a mongrel could provoke!

As soon as those words were spoken, the Xiao Household members wore strange expressions. Even Xiao Yan below could not stop the corner of his mouth from twitching.

Brother, you're really bold. You even dare provoke this monster? You really don't know how the word "death" is written!

If becoming a Dou Zhe at eleven already counted as peerless talent, then what did it mean to become a Dou Master at eleven?

Unparalleled in the world—the bearing of a Dou Di!

"Ahem, it does seem like I'm bullying someone younger than me, so I said I'd let you use one hand."

The young man's face became a little uneasy, but he still puffed out his chest and spoke, completely failing to notice the increasingly strange expressions on the Xiao Household members' faces.

"Fine! You've got courage. One hand, right? Then I'll let you use one hand!"

Xiao Dongchen's eyes flickered before abruptly opening wide. His pupils instantly turned brilliant gold, and within their centers, wisps of golden flame rose.

Overbearing and sinister, a surging aura suddenly swept out. The sight was like a golden dragon descending into the world!

"This...!"

Seeing this miraculous scene, the young man was instantly stunned. But since he had already made such a bold claim, he had no choice but to attack!

As purple Dou Qi surged, he clenched his fist, and a phantom wolf's head appeared above it.

Low-grade Xuan-tier Dou Technique—Purple Light Wolf Fist!

His Dou Qi circulated at full force as he threw his fist forward. This strike contained all his strength!

"Just an ant."

Facing the fierce punch, Xiao Dongchen remained utterly unmoved, his face full of amusement. Then he casually threw out a straightforward punch as well.

"This... an ordinary punch? Isn't that a little too arrogant?"

Ge Ye, standing nearby, was greatly astonished.

Bang! Crack!

The two fists collided in an instant, and everyone heard two dull sounds.

Then came the young man's heart-wrenching scream!

"Ah...!"

The golden fist shadow was unstoppable and overwhelmingly domineering. The purple wolf's head collapsed at a single blow and dispersed into nothingness. The young man's face abruptly turned pale, and streaks of blood spilled from his mouth.

"Pfft!"

The young man spat out a mouthful of blood before looking toward his arm. It now hung limply at his side, unable to move.

"My arm... it's crippled!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked!
