"What's wrong? Still unhappy even after breaking through to Dou Emperor?"
Long Xiao sat down beside Xiao Huohuo and handed him a flask of wine.
Xiao Huohuo looked at Long Xiao, his expression dim, and shook his head. "Big brother, thank you."
Long Xiao froze. Why was someone thanking him again?
"Thank you for working so hard for the Dou* Continent, big brother."
Long Xiao took a sip of wine and said, "It's only right. Only right."
"Boohoo, there's still so much I haven't done. My Xun'er is still waiting for me. She told me to come find her after I broke through to Dou Zong, but there's no time left..."
"Big brother, I know you have incredible powers. If I die, you have to protect Xun'er and the Xiao Clan. Tell them I was a great hero, that I died to save the world. Please, I'm begging you. Boohoo."
Xiao Huohuo suddenly burst into tears.
Long Xiao sighed inwardly. Though the inheritance made this little brother of his act a bit like a delusional teenager at times, Long Xiao truly couldn't compare to him when it came to matters of right and wrong on this scale.
He would never regret becoming brothers with this guy.
Better to be...
"Stop crying. Who said you're going to die?"
"Did you forget? Senior Evil Keyboard Immortal said he could appear three times. We've only used up one. Who knows? He might come out and save you when the time comes."
Xiao Huohuo suddenly saw the light and wiped away his tears. "Oh, right! No need to panic, then. Come on, big brother, cheers!"
The two clinked their cups again.
After taking a sip, Long Xiao said seriously, "Do you want to see Gu Xun'er? I can take you to the Gu Clan.
