Chapter 76: The Heartbroken Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er Sits Beside Me
What's going on?
It seems that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er don't have a good relationship at all! Not only are they distant, but they don't even seem like friends. Xiao Xun'er's scolding of Xiao Yan was absolutely spectacular!
Wait, no… she shouldn't be called Xiao Xun'er anymore she should be Gu Xun'er. After all, if she and Xiao Yan aren't close, then her presence in the Xiao Clan must be purely for benefits, right? All for that Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade!
Despite the harsh scolding, Xiao Yan still smiled as he looked up at Gu Xun'er and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood your intentions, Xun'er…"
"Don't call me Xun'er. Disgusting!" Gu Xun'er snapped, her delicate eyebrows furrowing in anger.
Xiao Yan stared at her furious expression, his eyes dimming with sadness. He murmured softly, "Xun'er…"
However, Gu Xun'er didn't bother responding. She simply turned away and walked off into the distance, leaving Xiao Yan watching her back, lost in sorrow.
He couldn't help but recall the "happy and carefree" days when he was hailed as the Xiao Clan's greatest genius in a century.
After being reborn into the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan had once thought he had reached the pinnacle of life. But reality was cruel turning from a supreme genius into a useless cripple took only a matter of time.
Back in the Xiao Clan, he had been the ultimate young master, living life as he pleased. If he wanted something, he got it. He could spend money however he wanted, go wherever he pleased, and flirt with girls freely. The Xiao Clan was truly his playground, allowing him to come and go as he wished.
For example, sneaking into the girls' baths, breaking into their rooms these were things he had done more than once. It could be said that most of the young girls in the Xiao Clan had fallen victim to his mischief.
Xiao Yan still remembered that at the age of five, he had already reached the third stage of Dou Qi. That night marked the beginning of his "dream" and the moment his inner desires could no longer be contained. In the darkness, he secretly sneaked into a little girl's room…
That girl was the most beautiful among the Xiao Clan's children none other than Xiao Xun'er. He had planned to use his special massage techniques to "nurture" her bones and meridians, envisioning a scenario where they would both be drenched in sweat.
However, just as he reached out his hands to touch her delicate body, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness. When he woke up, his head was stuck inside a latrine.
That incident became his nightmare, and he had to recover for days before daring to step out again. Since then, he never tried sneaking into Xiao Xun'er's room at night again. During the day, he pretended as if nothing had happened, but Xiao Xun'er's attitude toward him had completely changed she started avoiding him, refusing to even speak a word to him.
So, he redirected his mischievous thoughts elsewhere. Xiao Yu, with her mature figure, became his next target. Sneaking into her bath? That would be wonderful!
But fate had other plans. That night, instead of finding Xiao Yu in the bath, he stumbled upon her father taking a bath. The scene was so horrifying that he nearly vomited.
Shifting his attention again, he set his sights on Xiao Mei, the sweet girl who always followed him around, calling him "Brother Xiao Yan." He thought she would be the easiest target.
But he never expected that she would be the hardest one of all.
Xiao Mei was warm and affectionate toward him, yet she never let him touch her not even a simple hand holding. Even at a young age, she was extremely guarded. Left with no other options, Xiao Yan turned his attention to the more ordinary girls of the Xiao Clan.
They were far easier to approach, and soon, he indulged in a period of "happiness."
But there's a saying: The things you can't have always seem more attractive, while the things you have quickly lose their charm.
In just a few days, he was already bored. His gaze once again landed on the clan's few true beauties.
Xiao Yu had already left the Xiao Clan. Xiao Mei was still sticking around him, and as soon as the time was right, he was sure he could win her over. But the one who truly stirred his heart was Xiao Xun'er.
Her beauty made his heart itch with desire. He wanted her wanted to make her his own.
At that moment, he convinced himself that this feeling was love. So, he launched an intense pursuit, using every flirtation trick he had learned in his past life, bombarding her with sweet words and romantic gestures.
But none of it worked. Not even a little.
Which was completely understandable. If not for that one night when he had tried to touch her and ended up getting knocked out by her bodyguard, she might have been fooled by his tricks. But after that incident, she felt nothing but disgust toward him.
Yet, Xiao Yan didn't give up. Instead, he found the challenge even more exciting. The harder it is to obtain, the more thrilling it becomes!
He firmly believed that with enough time, his passion would eventually melt Xiao Xun'er's heart. But time was something he didn't have.
Three years ago, his Dou Qi completely disappeared. Even worse, not only did he fail to win Xiao Xun'er's love, but all the girls he had flirted with along with their families, admirers, and even their admirers' families began mocking, ridiculing, and humiliating him.
His once glorious life spiraled downward. Everyone abandoned him, except for his father, who still treated him as a son. To everyone else, he was nothing more than a worthless joke.
Thinking about it now, Xiao Yan was overcome with sorrow. Why is my fate so miserable?
Deep in his heart, he roared in frustration:
"Damn it! Did I really get reincarnated just to be a loser? In my past life, no girls liked me, and now it's the same in this life?! Not only did I fail to get what I wanted, but I was humiliated by all these beautiful girls. Damn it! One day, I'll make each and every one of them mine!"
"Xiao Xun'er, just wait! One day, I'll rise again and make you mine. When that time comes, I'll make you "
Before he could finish his vengeful thoughts, Gu Xun'er turned and walked away in anger. She didn't care at all about Xiao Yan's heartache or the shocked gazes around them.
Then, to Wu Tian's astonishment, she walked straight toward him!
Gu Xun'er smiled gently, her delicate face showing two charming dimples. She pointed at the empty seat beside Wu Tian and asked sweetly, "Excuse me, may I sit here?"
…
Wu Tian inhaled the faint fragrance drifting from her and smiled. "Of course~!"
In his mind, he chuckled: As expected of the young lady from the Ancient Eight Clans! She has excellent judgment she's clearly recognized my unmatched charm. But this is a bit close, isn't it? Even her sleeve is touching me! Ah, the struggle of being surrounded by beauties…
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was seething with rage.
"What the ?! The girl I like is sitting beside another man?!"
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Gu Xun'er sat gracefully, flipping open her ancient book again. Even at such a young age, she had an elegant, intellectual aura. She calmly read, as if everything around her was irrelevant.
Nalan Yanran, watching from afar, frowned. Just how high is this Xiao Xun'er's status in the Xiao Clan?
