Chapter 984: 981
Seeing Xu Ran holding Xun Er in his arms, Xiao Yan's eyes darkened, and he nearly fainted.
Why?
In the past three years, his "Cultivation Level" had not only failed to rise but had regressed, and everyone in the family who had once been close to him had left him and even added insult to injury! He had managed to endure all these years because Xun Er had been by his side. And now, like Xiao Mei, Xun Er was leaving him too!
"Why?"
"Why do you also want to leave, Xun Er? Are you also one of those women who seek power and wealth?"
"Even if you want to leave me, why do you have to humiliate me in front of so many people? Are you doing this on purpose? You knew I was here, yet you still treat me this way."
Xiao Yan's heart was bleeding.
The Xiao Yan of today had not yet regained the confidence that would come with his future talents; he had lost his gifts and was constantly ridiculed and insulted by those around him, his heart was very sensitive.
And now, Xun Er had taken the initiative to be held in someone else's arms, without even resisting!
If Xun Er had shown even the slightest resistance, maybe he could have felt a bit better, then he wouldn't have thought in that direction. But now? Xun Er hadn't resisted at all; wouldn't that mean she was willing to leave in her heart?
"Xiao Yan, hahaha. Who would have thought, who would have thought. Now Xun Er doesn't like you anymore, let's see who will protect you in the future! Weren't you acting all high and mighty before? Thought you were a genius and flaunted it everywhere! Now it's our turn to beat you." Xiao Ning clenched his fists, and the rest of the Disciples of the Xiao Family also brightened up when they heard Xiao Ning's words.
Before, Xiao Yan was a genius, and he was unrivaled for a time. Back then, they had to greet Xiao Yan like lackeys. But now Xiao Yan was no longer a genius, and they naturally wanted to take back the humiliations of the past.
Thinking this way, it was not entirely unacceptable for Xun Er to be taken away by an outsider!
"You!"
Xiao Yan was so angry his face flushed, but at the moment, he was unable to refute Xiao Ning's words.
With Xun Er being held by someone else, what could he say?
"Poor Xiao Huohuo." Xu Ran looked at Xiao Yan and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Xun Er, such a well-behaved and lovely girl, was the ideal type for all men. Medusa was also attractive, but being wild, she wouldn't completely obey even if she loved you. The same was true for Yun Yun.
Both Medusa and Yun Yun were women with their own careers and naturally could not make love their everything.
But Xun Er was great, always following by Xiao Yan's side.
Such a good woman; Xiao Yan would no longer have the fortune to be with her. From now on, Xun Er would step by step fall into his hands.
"That's enough."
Xun Er's voice seemed a bit colder.
"That's enough." Hearing Xun Er's indifferent voice, Xu Ran didn't mind and smiled slightly.
"I hope you keep your word. If you don't, I will kill you." Xun Er's pleasant voice carried a terrifying threat.
Even a Seventh Rank Alchemist could be killed if they dared to mock her.
"Don't worry. Once I return and refine a batch of pills, it will be fine. You'll just have to come to me to get the pills in about two days," Xu Ran said.
"Okay."
Xiao Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief. She could wait for two days.
If it were just for Xu Ran's embrace to help Xiao Yan regain his abilities, then that was fine too.
Xiao Xun'er consoled herself, thinking of it as if she had just been bitten by a mosquito.
"Hmph. Don't bother me again in the future, I'm leaving now." Xun Er glared fiercely at Xu Ran.
And at this moment, Xiao Yan had just tested his Dou Qi.
"Dou Qi Third Stage, low level," an Elder's voice came through.
"Hahaha. This is too funny. Xiao Yan's such a waste. If he keeps falling like this, he'll soon be no match for my family's old sow."
"Pfft. No wonder Xun Er wants to leave Xiao Yan. Could a Heaven's Proud Daughter like Xun Er be suited for a worthless man like Xiao Yan?"
"Xun Er prefers anyone over preferring Xiao Yan! Does Xiao Yan even deserve it?"
"If Xun Er stops protecting Xiao Yan in the future, we can hammer Xiao Yan every day."
Countless people mocked.
The disciples of the Xiao Family were used to mocking Xiao Yan. But this time, Xun Er had left him too, and that was truly disappointing.
"Am I, Xiao Yan, really such a waste? Why do they treat me like this?"
"I'm such a waste, it's only natural for Xun Er to leave me."
"..."
Disappointed, Xiao Yan walked down and headed into the distance.
"Brother Xiao Yan." Xun Er also sensed Xiao Yan's inner discontent and hurriedly wanted to explain.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go accompany your 'brother'?" Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Xiao Xun'er expressionlessly. His heart ached profoundly.
Xun Er used to like him, after all!
"Brother Xiao Yan, I don't have anything to do with that person. It was all an accident. I'll explain it to you later, okay? Don't you trust me, Brother Xiao Yan?" Xun Er said, a bit aggrieved.
"Fine. Go take your test. I'll wait for you." Xiao Yan's expression softened a bit, but he still walked away slowly.
He couldn't afford to lose this face.
Before, he was just a step away from becoming a Dou Zhe. But now, he was getting further and further away from reaching it.
"Brother Xiao Yan, don't you trust Xun Er?" Xun Er felt somewhat disappointed and pained. She had just wanted to share her good news with him.
"When Brother Xiao Yan can resume normal cultivation, he will understand then."
Xun Er quickly came to terms with it.
"Xiao Xun'er."
"Dou Qi: 9-dan!"
The testing continued.
Xun Er's "Cultivation Level" immediately caused a sensation, as countless people enviously watched the girl in front of the Magic Stone Stele, very excited.
"Hmph. My "Cultivation Level" is even higher than Xiao Xun'er's," Xiao Mei said, a bit aggrieved, standing in front of Xu Ran. She was a little jealous that Xu Ran had held Xiao Xun'er just now.
"Yes. My Mei'er is not bad either, not inferior to anyone else," Xu Ran smiled.
"Hehe. That's right. I'm not inferior to Xiao Xun'er either," Xiao Mei stuck out her tongue playfully, then thrust out her full chest proudly.
"Next, Xiao Mei!"
The voice of the tester rang out, and the girl glanced at Xu Ran before quickly running out.
Just now, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er were both vying for Xu Ran's attention, which suddenly made Xiao Mei a topic of conversation. As soon as she appeared, she attracted many fervent gazes, locking firmly onto the girl's cheeks.
Xiao Mei took a deep breath, touched the black Magic Stone Stele with practiced ease, then slowly closed her eyes.
After the girl closed her eyes, the pitch-black Magic Stone Stele lit up with a glow more dazzling than at any previous time.
"Dou Zhe: Three Stars!"
The tester said incredulously, his voice trembling as if in disbelief.
Even Xiao Xun'er was just at the Dou Qi 9-dan stage. But Xiao Mei's "Cultivation Level" had reached Dou Zhe Three Stars!
Oh my goodness!
Is this really Xiao Mei? How could Xiao Mei's "Cultivation Level" be higher than Xun Er's?
