On the small hill in the back, Xiao Yan was lying on the grass out of boredom, crossing his legs and soaking in the sun.
This was his secret base.
He often came here alone to practice or relax.
If he was lucky, he could sometimes see the clan girls bathing.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan glanced to the side and saw a figure not far away heading toward the pool on the back hill.
Standing up and looking closely, “Isn’t that Xiao Ning’s sister, Xiao Yu?
She’s even carrying a towel.
Is she going to bathe?”
Xiao Yan perked up.
It seemed Xiao Yu was indeed going to bathe.
He usually didn’t like her brother, so today he’d see what kind of beauty the sister was.
It seemed he had come to the right place today.
Getting up and crouching down, Xiao Yan tiptoed toward the poolside.
Finding a large rock ahead that could hide him, he performed a flip and hid behind it, only peeking with one eye at Xiao Yu in the pool.
Not far away, Xiao Ling also arrived.
His soul perception spread out, quickly clarifying the current situation.
“It seems the scene where Xiao Yan peeks at Xiao Yu in the original story is today.” Xiao Ling rubbed his chin and looked toward Xiao Yu.
By the pool, Xiao Yu was about to unbutton her clothes, seemingly planning to enter the water.
Xiao Yan, behind the large rock, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva at the sight, staring straight at Xiao Yu, unwilling to look away.
Seeing this, how could Xiao Ling continue to watch from the sidelines?
He, Xiao Ling, was a man of integrity and would never allow such a thing to happen before his eyes.
With a flick of his finger, a ball of bright red Battle Qi shot toward Xiao Yan’s ‘waist’.
Although he had just become a Battle Practitioner, Xiao Ling was very skilled at controlling Battle Qi due to his excellent soul perception.
The Qi broke through the air and hit Xiao Yan directly in the waist.
Xiao Yan, who was focused on Xiao Yu, had no attention left for anything else.
He only heard a “swish,” and felt a sudden burning sensation in his kidney area, followed by pain.
He couldn’t help but clutch his kidney and scream.
“Ah~!
It hurts so much!”
Xiao Yu had just unbuttoned one button when she heard a noise behind her.
She quickly stopped, turned around in a panic, and saw Xiao Yan peeking out from behind the rock with half a head, grimacing in pain. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Seeing this, how could Xiao Yu not know what was happening?
Her face turned red with anger.
She lunged toward Xiao Yan and delivered a big slap.
“You little thief!
Not learning good things at such a young age, and instead learning to be a peeping tom!
You actually learned to watch people bathe!”
Still not satisfied, Xiao Yu punched Xiao Yan twice more, hitting him on both kidneys.
Xiao Yan, clutching both sides in pain, scrambled down the hill.
Xiao Ling, hiding not far away, saw this and couldn’t help but swallow.
“A woman can be really ruthless when she’s angry.
I must never provoke a hot-tempered woman in the future.”
Shaking his head and not thinking more, Xiao Ling saw that both had left the back hill, so he circulated his Battle Qi and headed toward his small courtyard.
“Xiao Yu, I will definitely step on you!
And Xiao Ning, just wait!”
Xiao Yan, having run back to his courtyard, was wrapping bandages around himself.
He sat on the bed with a dark expression, setting a goal for himself, and then began his cultivation for the day.
He would definitely not tell his Clan Leader father about this.
Otherwise, if Xiao Zhan knew his son was peeping at Xiao Yu, he would definitely punish him severely for the sake of the First Elder.
He could only choose to practice in silence and then take revenge after becoming strong.
Although cultivation was a boring and tedious task, Xiao Yan, who had been in the Battle Qi Continent for so long, had gradually adapted.
“Almost breaking through!”
Feeling the surging Battle Qi in his body, a bit of excitement appeared on Xiao Yan’s face.
He concentrated his mind, preparing to break through to the 6th Stage of Battle Qi in one go.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ling, who was practicing in his room, formed the ending seal and stood up.
He sensed the Battle Qi in his body, shook his head, and sighed, “Yellow-level Low-grade techniques are really poor.
The cultivation speed is slow, and the quality is mediocre.
I need to use beast flames to slightly improve the technique level.
If it can’t reach Mysterious-level, I’ll have to ask Xun’er for help.
Anyway, she’s my future wife; eating my future wife’s soft rice is not embarrassing.
I’ve also learned Vacuum Palm—as expected of a Mysterious-level battle skill, it’s very useful.” Clearing his thoughts, he walked out of the room and headed toward the Mittel Auction House.
As he neared the auction house, he put on a black robe and gloves as usual. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Entering the hall, the same cool feeling as before hit him.
Looking around, there were no familiar faces.
Xiao Ling found a maid and took out the token Gu Ni had given him last time.
“I’m looking for Master Gu Ni of your auction house.
Please lead the way.”
The maid took the token, looked at it, and gave a professional smile, gesturing with her hand.
“Sir, please follow me to the VIP lounge to wait.
I’ll go find Master Gu Ni immediately.”
The two walked to a lounge.
The maid brewed a cup of tea and left.
Xiao Ling sat down and took a sip.
He felt his Battle Qi become a bit more active.
“Truly worthy of the Mittel Auction House.
They’re so rich that even the tea for guests can slightly increase cultivation efficiency.”
After a while, Gu Ni walked in.
Seeing it was the black-robed person from last time, a smile appeared on his face.
“Sir, the beast flames you needed are ready.
They are: Earth Flame from the Tier 4 Earth Rock Turtle, Peach Blossom Flame from the Tier 4 Kui Wood Beast, and Dry Blue Water Flame from the Tier 4 Deep Sea Flood Dragon Beast.
The first two are one hundred thousand gold coins, and the latter is two hundred thousand.
The guardian beast of the Jia Ma Imperial Family is a Tier 6 Deep Sea Flood Dragon Beast.” Gu Ni waved his hand, and three porcelain bottles appeared on the table, with three beast flames inside.
Xiao Ling slightly used Vacuum Palm, and the three bottles flew to his hands.
With a wave of his sleeve, he tucked them one by one into his belt, leaving Gu Ni stunned.
He secretly felt good; truly a face-slapping god-tier skill.
He spoke with a smile, “I trust the credit of the Mittel family.
I’ll come back to you when I have another transaction.”
After saying that, he turned and left the lounge, walking out of the Mittel Auction House and toward the Xiao family.
Back in his room, he couldn’t wait to take out the three bottles and examine the three beast flames.
The Earth Flame was yellowish, a heavy fire with earth attributes.
The Peach Blossom Flame was pinkish, emitting a faint fragrance, giving off a friendly feeling.
The Dry Blue Water Flame was deep blue, the one with the most energy and best quality of the three.
Xiao Ling cleared his thoughts, adjusted his breathing, and planned to start absorbing the beast flames.
