"Soaring to success?"
Listening to Liu Panlong's laughter, Obama Pa and many high-ranking members of the Obama Family showed a bitter smile on their faces.
Although both Ya Fei and Liu Panlong directly stated that becoming a subordinate of the Xiao Family was not a shameful thing, but rather a brilliant future.
However, becoming someone else's servant, with even life and death controlled by others, was ultimately a somewhat bitter matter.
The two great families that once stood as overlords alongside the Xiao Family in Utan City, one was driven away like a stray dog, while the other voluntarily came to submit.
It truly made many members of the Xiao Family feel very proud. The Xiao Family had resolved the two great families without shedding a drop of blood, thus becoming the largest Family in Utan City, without rival.
Of course, while proud, they would not forget who brought about this sudden advantage and this pride.
However, the young man at the core of this matter was completely indifferent to it.
Although he always regarded this small Utan City as his hometown, Xiao Yan's heart could encompass the vast Universe.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to these small squabbles in Utan City.
Two months later, behind the Xiao Family's mountain.
"Hiss!"
With a burst of Dou Qi on her jade-like hand, the young girl's smooth, fair, and jade-like calf kicked hard, her figure like an agile swallow swiftly attacking the young man standing opposite her.
Seeing the young girl's serious expression, the young man's lips curled slightly. With an odd step to the side, he dodged the burst of Dou Qi, then his smile suddenly turned mischievous. He stretched out both hands, suddenly wrapping them around her slender waist.
Xiao Yan chuckled, using a gentle force in his palms to dissipate the young girl's inertia, then pulled the young girl with a blushing face into his embrace.
"Not bad, not bad. You've made rapid progress recently. You've already reached Dou Qi eight-stage so quickly."
Looking at the young girl in his arms, whose chest was slightly heaving from exhaustion, Xiao Yan reached out and wiped the sweat from her smooth forehead, then, under her shy gaze, he gently set her down.
"Brother Xiao Yan is so naughty. Every time we spar, he's a little dishonest."
After being set down by Xiao Yan, Xun Er's small face was flushed. Whether from exhaustion or shyness, she looked like a red apple, truly adorable.
"Hehe."
Xiao Yan chuckled noncommittally at Xun Er's complaint, not refuting. He just rubbed her head and softly laughed, "Have you used up all the spiritual liquid I prepared for you before?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Xun Er nodded gently. Her initially feigned fierce little face instantly softened, and a sweet, elegant smile graced her lips.
"Almost used up. With Brother Xiao Yan's spiritual liquid, my Cultivation speed has indeed become much faster."
"That's good. You must strive to Breakthrough to a One-Star Dou Master before Canaan Academy comes here. Then, we can enter Canaan Academy together."
Xiao Yan said with a light laugh.
In his previous life, he first went to the Tagor Desert to search for the Green Lotus Core Flame, but that was because he was indeed very weak and needed to rely on Yao Lao's guidance to undergo trials step by step.
But in this life, with incredibly rich experience, he no longer needed to accumulate as he did in his previous life. All he had to do was continuously collect different flames and accelerate his Cultivation speed.
Therefore, compared to the dry and boring Tagor Desert, the chaotic and rich Black-Corner Region might be more suitable for Xiao Yan's rapid increase in strength.
Besides these, Xiao Yan also had a slightly improper thought hidden in his heart.
That was, this time, he wanted to rely on his own strength to conquer the Queen of the Snake-People Race, who was still high above, rather than taking advantage of her while she was vulnerable using the Fallen Heart Flame.
In addition, he also wanted to see what kind of story would unfold when Yun Yun met him.
Recalling that he seemed to have received a lot of help from these two women before he became a Dou King in his previous life, Xiao Yan's smile, at some unknown point, gained a hint of subtle wickedness.
"In this life, I don't want to rely on others anymore. I will truly, with my own strength, capture both of you, body and heart."
Looking at the faint evil smile on Xiao Yan's lips, Xun Er gently furrowed her delicate brows, and finally, her small hand gently pinched Xiao Yan.
"Brother Xiao Yan, are you thinking about something naughty again? Your smile is almost reaching your ears."
With Xun Er's pinch, Xiao Yan finally emerged from his fantasy. His dark eyes looked at Xun Er, who had a wrinkled little face, and a rare feeling of being caught in the act flashed in his eyes.
"Xun Er, if in the future, due to some unavoidable reasons, I have some special interactions with other women, will you hate me?"
Staring at those clear, bright eyes, Xiao Yan suddenly asked out of the blue.
"With other women?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun Er was startled for a moment, and then her pretty little face turned somewhat pale.
"Other women! You mean that vixen Ya Fei, right!
Sister Xiao Yu was indeed right, all you men are big scoundrels, and Brother Xiao Yan is too!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun Er was uncharacteristically agitated, two tears even flowing out. Her jade-like cheeks were like pearls hanging on either side. Although she hadn't yet developed into a great beauty, she was already pitiable.
"Xun Er, Xun Er, don't be angry, I was just joking with you."
Seeing the little girl like this, even Xiao Yan's weathered heart couldn't help but tremble. He quickly pulled her into his arms to comfort her.
"I'm not just talking about Ya Fei, that vixen…"
Sighing bitterly in his heart, Xiao Yan realized that truly wanting to include all these women in a harem was far more difficult than fighting Soul Heaven Emperor, or even Heavenly Evil God.
After all, what he wanted was not just their bodies, but their hearts. To love a woman is not just to love her body, but also to uphold her dignity.
If the person changes, then what remains is merely a beautiful shell. Although men generally have the common flaw of being lustful, how could a person like Xiao Yan ever lack beautiful women around him?
The reason he liked them so much was precisely because they shared beautiful memories and both sides appreciated each other's character and temperament.
Strength can obtain many things, but fate transcends it.
After much persuasion and effort, he coaxed Xun Er back to her room, only to have the little girl directly close the door on him.
"Hmph! I'm not talking to you!"
Listening to the girl's voice, which still carried a hint of a sob amidst her grievance, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh softly. After standing at the door for a long time, he left with a slight sense of guilt.
"Counting the time, today should be the day to deliver goods to Ya Fei, right?"
After leaving Xun Er's courtyard, Xiao Yan gently shook his head. Remembering Ya Fei's enchanting and alluring appearance, he finally let go of some of the gloom in his heart.
However, even he didn't notice that shortly after he left, the door opened again, revealing a delicate little face filled with sorrow.
"Although this is harder than killing Soul Heaven Emperor, in this life, I must achieve it."
Shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xiao Yan walked towards Liu Panlong's courtyard.
However, as soon as he entered, he heard Yao Lao's roar.
"Are you a pig? You can't even understand such a simple principle!"
