Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran before him, her tear-streaked face like pear blossoms in the rain, and sneered inwardly.
Was this the original Nalan Yanran?
What a joke!
If Nalan Yanran had been like this, whether Xiao Yan could even become a Dou Di would have been up for debate.
Although he still wasn't certain whether she was an Otherworlder.
She was definitely not the original Nalan Yanran.
"Enough!"
"Nalan Yanran, you know better than anyone what you're really thinking."
"There's no need to play the pitiful victim in front of me. I've already given you the repudiation letter."
"I will never acknowledge this marriage, no matter what. So leave!"
It wasn't convenient for Xiao Yan to attack here. Besides, without Nalan Yanran, what would become of his Three-Year Agreement?
Without the Three-Year Agreement, some other unforeseen twist might crop up along the way.
Rather than risk that, he might as well let this known "Otherworlder" leave for now. Once she had fulfilled her appointed role, it wouldn't be too late to kill her.
"Xiao Yan, don't push your luck!"
"I, Nalan Yanran, am the eldest young lady of the Nalan Family and the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect! You keep humiliating me. Do you really think I'm someone you can bully?"
As the saying went, even a clay figure had a spark of temper, let alone someone as proud as Nalan Yanran.
Even though she knew the man before her would become a mighty Dou Di in the future.
She still couldn't endure his repeated humiliation.
Besides, Nalan Yanran was living her life over again. With her memories granting her foreknowledge, even if she couldn't become a Dou Di, she was confident she could become a Dou Sheng Expert.
She didn't have to cling to Xiao Yan!
"Anyway, I've already given you the repudiation letter. How you interpret it is your problem."
Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently and spoke in a mild tone.
"Fine, Xiao Yan. Since you've taken things this far."
"Do you dare make a wager with me?"
Nalan Yanran steadied her slightly agitated emotions and asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.
"What do you have in mind?"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, wanting to see exactly what this suspected Otherworlder, Nalan Yanran, was after.
"Didn't you just say you would come to the Misty Cloud Sect yourself in three years to prove you aren't trash?"
"Then let's set a three-year deadline. If you can defeat me in three years, whether you repudiate me or make me your slave or maidservant, I, Nalan Yanran, won't utter a single word of refusal."
"If you lose, I want you to marry me-and marry into my Nalan Family!"
"Do you dare accept this wager?"
After a long silence, Nalan Yanran ultimately remained unwilling to give up on this man who would become a Dou Di.
She made a different Three-Year Agreement with him.
"This... I don't understand!"
"What exactly is this young lady of the Nalan Family after?"
"Xiao Yan is trash. Why is she scheming so hard to marry him?"
"Exactly! How could trash like him compare to me? I'm a mighty cultivator at the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi! Aren't I stronger than someone at the third stage?"
As soon as Nalan Yanran finished speaking, everyone around them erupted into discussion.
They truly couldn't understand why Nalan Yanran insisted on marrying Xiao Yan.
Could Xiao Yan be hiding some secret?
Anyone who wasn't a fool could see through her wager.
She was simply recruiting a husband to marry into her family!
With Xiao Yan's paltry third-stage Dou Qi, he couldn't possibly be a match for Nalan Yanran, even after another three years.
After all, Nalan Yanran was already a Three-Star Dou Zhe.
No one could predict how strong she would be in three years.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, would probably still be stuck at the Third Stage of Dou Qi three years later unless a miracle occurred.
"Fine! I, Xiao Yan, accept your wager!"
"But I still have a few words of advice for you!"
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west-never scorn a youth for being poor!"
"I may not be your equal now, but in three years, I will defeat you!"
"When you receive this repudiation letter again then, there will be far more people watching than this!"
Xiao Yan offered Nalan Yanran that well-intentioned reminder.
"Don't trouble yourself. That will be my concern."
"Keep this repudiation letter safe. When the time comes, I'll make sure you can't deliver it!"
Nalan Yanran handed the repudiation letter back to Xiao Yan and spoke firmly.
She remembered that Xiao Yan had only been a Da Dou Shi when he came to fulfill the Three-Year Agreement.
As long as she reached the Dou Ling realm, she would definitely win the Three-Year Agreement.
This time, with the memories of her previous life, she could surely become a Dou Ling within three years.
Then she would not only become the Flame Emperor's wife, but also make Xiao Yan the first Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent to marry into his wife's family!
"Fine!"
"Three years from now, at Misty Cloud Summit-wait for me, Nalan Yanran!"
Xiao Yan put away the repudiation letter and addressed Nalan Yanran again.
If he had merely been testing her at first.
Then now he fully understood why Nalan Yanran was behaving so unlike herself.
He was eighty percent certain that Nalan Yanran was an Otherworlder.
But she was different from Steward Mo earlier. Steward Mo had wanted to kill him and seize his opportunities and treasures.
That way, Steward Mo could rise to the pinnacle himself and become a mighty Dou Di.
This Nalan Yanran had clearly chosen another path.
She wanted to cling to his coattails. After all, he was the future Flame Emperor.
Knowing he would become the strongest person on the Dou Qi Continent, Nalan Yanran naturally had no desire to break off the engagement.
Yet that was precisely what made Xiao Yan even more determined to end it.
After all, if the person who had transmigrated into Nalan Yanran was a woman, he could still accept that.
But if a man's soul had transmigrated into her body, Xiao Yan absolutely couldn't accept it.
There were plenty of precedents for men transmigrating into women's bodies.
At that thought, Xiao Yan couldn't help shuddering with revulsion.
I, Xiao Yan, am breaking off this engagement, no matter what!
Even Hun Tiandi couldn't save it!
That's my final word!
"Young Sect Master..."
Seeing this, Ge Ye wanted to say something.
But the moment he opened his mouth, Nalan Yanran cut him off.
"There's no need to say anything else. Let's go!"
With that, Nalan Yanran turned and walked out.
"Young lady of the Nalan Family, don't think victory is in your grasp just because you have the Misty Cloud Sect behind you!"
"The Dou Qi Continent is vast, and plenty of people are stronger than Yun Yun. Brother Xiao Yan will definitely defeat you in three years! He will never marry into your Nalan Family!"
Just as Nalan Yanran and the others were about to leave, Xiao Xun'er suddenly spoke from the corner.
A husband marrying into her family!
That was something even she had never considered. As the esteemed young lady of the Gu Clan, she had never said anything like that to Brother Xiao Yan.
What right did a mere young lady of the Nalan Family, even with the title of Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, have to demand that Brother Xiao Yan marry into her family?
