“Sure enough, one must be cautious when out and about.” Feng Qing’er secretly cautioned herself.
Sometimes one can be appropriately low-key; perhaps it can save one’s life.
[And this was the beginning of the fate between me and Xun’er.] [After Xun’er was born, Uncle Gu planted the inheritance flame of the Gu Clan into her—the sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking—to temper her Dou Di bloodline.
During this period, her cultivation would be relatively difficult.
To avoid the oppressive life within the clan and to give her a childhood as an ordinary person, she was sent to the Xiao family.] The women: !
As expected of the continent’s top rich second generation.
They had only ever heard of a few types of Heavenly Flames.
Others use the fourth-ranked flame to improve their physique from birth.
[Xun’er and I were childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates.
Growing up together, it was inevitable that feelings would arise.] The women: !
I see, you’ve started living off a woman.
And it’s the most fragrant bowl on the Dou Qi Continent!
“Tsk~” Queen Medusa clenched her hands.
Based on her current self, she was far too inferior.
She wanted to evolve.
If becoming a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was not enough, she would become Eight-Colored; if Eight-Colored wasn’t enough, then Nine-Colored.
If Nine-Colored still wasn’t enough, then she would become the Super Divine Beast Chu Xiao mentioned earlier.
She, Cai Lin—pah, Medusa—would not be inferior to anyone in her life!
[In my previous life, I was young and didn’t understand.
I thought my feelings for Xun’er were the kind a brother has for a sister.] “Based on my years of experience reading storybooks, something melodramatic is going to happen next.” Inside the territory of the Alchemist Tower in the Central Plains, within Cao City of the Alchemist Region.
A girl of about twelve was munching on a fruit, flipping through the journal with great interest.
She was the genius daughter of the Cao family, Cao Ying.
At birth, she displayed shocking spiritual power that almost shocked her mother to death on the spot.
She started learning alchemy at age seven and had been at it for five years now, possessing the strength of a Tier 3 Alchemist.
Breaking through to Tier 4 within the next three years would be no problem.
At that time, she would definitely be taken as a disciple by the higher-ups and go to the Alchemist Tower for secluded study.
When she emerged, she would be a Tier 7 Alchemist with a bright future.
But she had an unknown hobby, which was reading various storybooks, especially romance novels.
The appearance of this journal, in her view, was a gift from fate.
[It wasn’t until I accompanied Xiao Yan to the Yun Lan Sect to fulfill the Three-Year Agreement and reunited with her when I returned to Canaan Academy after the break that I suddenly realized.
Looking at her at seventeen, growing more and more graceful, I realized that I liked this girl.] “Liked!” Xun’er gripped her bedsheet, her little face completely flushed.
When she knew she was the Empress, she had already confirmed Chu Xiao’s feelings for her, let alone Brother Chu Xiao’s bold actions tonight that he had never done before.
But now hearing him say it “with his own mouth,” it still felt like being immersed in a jar of honey.
“Yun Lan Sect!
Three-Year Agreement!?” Unlike Xun’er’s secret happiness, Yun Yun’s face turned bitter, and her hand holding the water cup trembled slightly.
Sure enough, the bad premonition had come true.
Nalan Yanran’s trip to the Xiao family to annul the marriage had definitely caused trouble.
She had to know the specific situation as soon as possible; perhaps she could salvage it.
“Shua!” the water cup was shattered.
Yun Yun directly manifested her Dou Qi wings and soared into the sky.
After identifying the direction, she flew toward Wu Tan City.
At the same time, she did not forget to continue following the updated information in the journal.
[But at that time, I didn’t dare confess to Xun’er.
After all, Xiao Yi Xian and I had cohabited for three months in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and made a soulmate pact.
I accidentally had an ambiguous relationship with Yun Yun, and an indescribable incident happened with Cai Lin due to the accident brought by the Heavenly Flame.
Facing her, I always felt guilty.] “Oh ho!” Cao Ying excitedly kicked her small jade-like feet and took out a pile of fruits and nuts from her storage ring to munch on.
Now things were becoming interesting.
Childhood sweethearts separated for a long time, while the elder brother was out having unclear relations with three women.
It should be quite a sight to see them all gathered and fighting.
“Soulmate pact!” Xiao Yi Xian, who was bathing in a wooden tub, paused her small hands, her thoughts becoming chaotic.
She knew her own situation; she was not a person who easily accepted others or let people into her heart.
Becoming a soulmate with a boy…
was no different from being willing to entrust her life to him.
“Ambiguous relationship!” Yun Yun was so shocked that her Dou Qi almost became unstable, nearly falling from the sky.
In fact, from the very beginning when Chu Xiao called her “Yun’er” and wrote that he promised to return to the Magical Beast Mountain Range with her to stay for a while, she already had a bad premonition.
She was a long-famed Dou Huang expert of the Jia Ma Empire and the Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect.
To think she would be with an eighteen-year-old youth…
“No, he has now reincarnated from a hundred years in the future; by age, he is much older than me.” Yun Yun flexibly shifted her thinking.
But after realizing what she was thinking, her cheeks grew hot.
“I’ve really been hexed by this ancient tome.
What am I thinking?
He has nothing to do with me!” On the other side, in the Snake-People Tribe.
“Heavenly Flame!” Queen Medusa thought of the Blue Lotus Geocentric Flame she had just discovered.
Could it be that something happened between her and Chu Xiao when she was obtaining the Heavenly Flame?
It could also be that something happened after she used the Heavenly Flame to evolve her bloodline and fell into a weakened state after a near-death experience.
Specifically, she had to see what the journal said.
[I wanted to speak several times, but I didn’t know how to say it.
And she was so dazzling that I wasn’t sure of her feelings for me.] [For the first time, I was cowardly.
I wanted to delay dealing with this matter, secretly hiding my feelings and just being good to her.] [At Canaan Academy, I spent over a year full of memories with her.
I hoped in my heart that it could continue forever.] [But…] “But!” Qing Lin was full of a sense of immersion, a nervous expression appearing on her face.
Did Young Master Chu Xiao encounter something?
[The Gu Clan sent the Black Submerged Army from within the clan carrying the Ancient Jade Order to Canaan Academy, forcing Xun’er, who had already refused to return several times, to go back to the clan.] [Uncle Gu also believed it was time for Xun’er to start devoting herself fully to cultivation and did not stop it.] [The Black Submerged Army is the strength of the Gu Clan’s younger generation.
The commanders ranked lower already possess the strength of a peak Dou Huang even before activating their Imperial bloodline to receive the clan tattoo.
It made me realize the gap between me and Xun’er in status, position, and talent.] [At that time, I almost gave up, feeling that I was just a toad hoping to eat swan meat, lacking self-awareness.] [But Xun’er found me before she left, proactively confessed to me, and made a pact with me that she would wait for my arrival at the Gu Clan in the Central Plains.] Xun’er’s pretty face flushed red once more: !!!
It was actually me who confessed first?
I actually had such courage?
Mm, if the situation developed as Brother Chu Xiao said, I probably would…
“Whoa!” The women marveled in their hearts.
The continent’s top-tier beautiful and wealthy girl falling in love with me—and it was a proactive confession.
Coupled with their childhood sweetheart relationship, this was simply a finishing blow for a man.
No wonder this Xun’er eventually became the Empress.
Chu Xiao probably started striving from this moment on.
[From this moment on, I decided to become a peerless powerhouse.] [If a Dou Zong isn’t enough, then a Dou Zun; if a Dou Zun isn’t enough, then a Dou Sheng, until the day my strength is sufficient.] [In the end, I successfully did it!] [This journey…
must have been very hard.] The women: ?
Why the “must have been”?
Don’t you know yourself whether it was hard or not?
