Taking Qing'er along too?
Lei Zunzhe's face, which had just regained its composure, showed a hint of surprise again.
"That's right, I'm taking Qing'er along."
Huang Xuan smiled slightly, his face still carrying an unfathomable smile.
However, seeing Huang Xuan's appearance, Lei Zunzhe's already shocked gaze stirred again.
Has the Xiao Clan become so powerful that even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan wants to lick its boots?
Thinking of this, Lei Zunzhe composed himself and slowly nodded, saying, "Since you have given such an order, I will naturally comply."
Hearing Lei Zunzhe's reply, Huang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
"I've long heard that the Xiao Clan's imperial prince is a lecherous man. Although Qing'er's talent isn't the best in our clan, it's still excellent.
Most importantly, her appearance is the most stunning among the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."
Countless thoughts rose in Huang Xuan's mind.
Xiao Yan can even fancy the legitimate daughter of a small family, and he's rumored to have quite a few romantic escapades. He'll probably be completely captivated by Qing'er.
Thinking this, a smile appeared on Huang Xuan's lips.
While the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is strong, there are many clans on the continent stronger than them, not to mention their long-time nemesis, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Even within the Pill Tower, there's an old monster that all the experts of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan fear.
As for the Seven Ancient Clans, even the weakest of them could easily suppress them.
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is now in decline, so forging a superior marriage alliance with the Xiao Clan would be a good choice.
Although Huang Xuan has a close relationship with Feng Qing'er, when faced with such a crucial matter concerning the clan, he naturally prioritizes clan relations.
He doesn't know Xiao Yan's exact position within the Xiao Clan, but he imagines it's not low.
In the future, Xiao Yan will likely hold a place in the core leadership of the Xiao Clan.
Huang Xuan was quite confident in Feng Qing'er's beauty.
In Tianbei City, at
the Hong family residence, the patriarch, Hong Li, sat listlessly in the main hall, looking at his elders and deacons. He said weakly, "Have all the children with potential been sent away?"
Hearing this, the other elders and deacons exchanged glances, and the leader slowly replied, "Reporting to the patriarch, all children under five years old in the clan have been dispersed to various parts of Zhongzhou."
"A small number of exceptionally talented children have some of their belongings with them."
Hearing this report, Hong Li slowly breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of exhaustion on his face.
"That's good."
Although the Hong family was about to face a great calamity, having a glimmer of hope was always something to hold onto.
Thinking of this, Hong Li suddenly felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't been so aggressive back then, the Hong family might not have fallen to this state.
However, after a moment of melancholy, his eyes turned cold again.
In this world, the survival of the fittest is the essence of everything. Whether it's the Han family or the Hong family, if they had always been humble and tolerant gentlemen, they wouldn't have achieved their current success.
Which major power in Tianbei City doesn't have countless lives on their hands?
"It's just a matter of the victor taking all!"
The silvery moonlight illuminated Tianbei City, and in a small courtyard of the Han family, Xiao Yan gently wrapped Han Yue's exposed skin in a moon-white robe.
"You're really...so bad."
Han Yue's face still flushed.
"So what if I'm a little bad? Don't you like it?"
Xiao Yan smiled, looking at her red face.
Remembering the other side of the ice queen, he couldn't help but feel a little excited again.
"You're so annoying."
Han Yue glared at him lightly, but the coldness in her eyes now carried a hint of allure.
Then, she gently rested her head on Xiao Yan's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
Xiao Yan smiled, reaching out to hold her silver hair in his hand.
This head of long hair wasn't white; instead, it had a silvery sheen, which shimmered beautifully under the moonlight.
"If it weren't for you, how could I have escaped Hong Chen's clutches so quickly? If it weren't for you, how could the Han family have so quickly dominated Tianbei City?"
Since Xiao Yan arrived in Tianbei City, the entire city had changed in just a few days.
The once most powerful and domineering Hong family was now silent, quietly packing up their belongings, even voluntarily ceding much territory to the Han family.
Another Dou Zong family and several other Dou Huang families, upon learning of the Hong family's situation with the Han family, also wisely relinquished some non-core territories.
Since receiving Xiao Yan and having a heart-to-heart talk with Han Yue that day, Han Chi had been constantly busy for the next few days.
Although this busyness was tiring, Han Chi always wore a smile, his large teeth almost showing.
How could they not be happy? The Han family's territory had suddenly tripled in size; looking around, almost half of Tianbei City's businesses belonged to the Han family.
Even the Dou Zong patriarch, who had been in seclusion for years, emerged from his retreat to offer Xiao Yan a cup of tea after learning that the Han family patriarch was the father-in-law of the young master of the Starfall Pavilion.
Furthermore, the patriarch declared Han Chi to be the most outstanding patriarch in the family's five hundred years, entrusting him with all power.
At this moment, Han Chi finally understood just how important a good son-in-law was.
Just as the two were whispering to each other, a knock suddenly sounded at Han Yue's door, and a young woman in a blue dress pushed open the door and walked in.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Han Xue's face was beaming. As one of the most prominent young ladies in Tianbei City, she had a group of sisters.
She had just returned from a gathering with her sisters and was overjoyed, as the envious looks from her friends made her very happy.
But as soon as she stepped inside, her smiling face suddenly flushed red.
Han Yue was wearing a moon-white robe, with her snow-white legs exposed.
Although Han Xue was a young girl, she knew what had just happened.
What was even more outrageous was that Han Xue was currently sitting on Xiao Yan's lap, while Xiao Yan was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique.
Those exquisitely sculpted muscles made Han Xue's heart race slightly.
"Xue'er!"
Seeing Han Xue enter, Han Yue's blush, which had just subsided, instantly intensified.
"Why didn't you knock before coming in?"
Han Yue glared at her with her beautiful eyes and scolded.
"Get out, you go out first, I'm cultivating my Dou Qi!"
"I!" Han Xue opened her mouth. The two sisters had always been very close, and she often came in without knocking.
But seeing her sister and brother-in-law like this, she hurriedly nodded, then swayed her hips and ran out the door.
Only after Han Xue left did Han Yue slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
"That was close, I almost got caught by that brat."
"Yeah, that was close. Luckily you were quick-witted and knew to tell her we were cultivating Dou Qi."
Xiao Yan smiled mischievously, prompting Han Yue to glare at him.
"You have the nerve to say that? It's so embarrassing."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
"What are you doing? Xue'er just left. What if she finds out?" Han Yue said coquettishly.
"My soul power covers the entire Han family. That girl left a long time ago."
Xiao Yan said, but his eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally at a corner of the courtyard.
A girl who had been peeking from outside the courtyard blushed instantly.
But when she saw the last thing, Han Xue's pretty face showed a look of shock.
"Sister's cultivation seems to have really improved."
"Could it be that this is also a kind of cultivation?"
The girl's face showed emotion.
The next day, a spatial rift quietly appeared in Tianbei City, and then a dignified middle-aged man walked out of it.
This person was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Venerable Lei.
Behind Venerable Lei stood a woman whose beauty could astound the entire Tianbei City.
Her temperament and beauty were both exceptional; her face was slightly slender, a perfect oval shape, and she possessed a pair of beautiful, pure, purplish-brown gem-like eyes.
Dressed in a seven-colored short skirt, she exuded an undeniable air of nobility.
This woman was none other than Feng Qing'er, a young lady from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Venerable Lei's personal disciple.
Looking at his beloved disciple's stunning beauty, even Venerable Lei couldn't help but sigh slightly. No wonder Huang Xuan was so confident in having him bring this girl to see Xiao Yan.
With Feng Qing'er's looks, if she couldn't win over that boy, then his standards of beauty were a bit too high.
Thinking this, Venerable Lei couldn't help but sigh again.
Huang Xuan only thought of Xiao Yan as a lecherous man, but he hadn't considered what kind of temperament his disciple possessed.
Even Xiao Yan himself probably wouldn't allow Feng Qing'er to lower herself.
"Qing'er, what kind of person do you think Xiao Yan is?"
After a moment's hesitation, Venerable Lei slowly asked.
"He has heaven-defying talent and an amazing background, but he's lecherous and shameless. Such a person won't achieve much, but he might not reach the pinnacle of this world."
Feng Qing'er spoke slowly, her tone devoid of any admiration, instead carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"As expected."
Venerable Lei's lips curled into a faint, bitter smile.
"Huang Xuan, Huang Xuan, you only know about this girl's beauty, but don't you know how arrogant she is?"
Even if Feng Qing'er's future achievements wouldn't surpass Xiao Yan's, that didn't stop her from looking down on him.
"Never mind, I'm just a pimp."
Venerable Lei comforted himself, then flew towards the Han family with Feng Qing'er.
With the arrival of this Dou Zun powerhouse, the Han family members, who had been busy all along, finally put down everything and returned to the Han family to welcome this big shot.
Xiao Yan might disrespect or even humiliate a Dou Zun powerhouse, but that didn't mean the Han family could act so casually. Even with the support of the Starfall Pavilion, they couldn't treat a Dou Zun powerhouse so carelessly.
The arrival of Venerable Lei finally allowed Xiao Yan to make a rare public appearance.
Soon, Venerable Lei, who was drinking tea in the Han family's main hall, saw a handsome young man in a black brocade robe approach.
After exchanging a glance, Venerable Lei's initial feeling of frustration suddenly changed, his eyes filled with shock.
"How is this possible? He's so young, how could this be?"
Venerable Lei stared at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
With Xiao Yan's current level, ordinary people couldn't fathom his strength; most assumed he was only a peak Dou Huang or at most a Dou Zong.
Only someone at Venerable Lei's level could truly sense the extent of Xiao Yan's power.
"A Dou Zun!"
Indeed, this young man, or even a teenager, was a Dou Zun powerhouse.
He was only sixteen years old two years ago, I think.
Countless thoughts raced through Lei Zun's mind.
In other words, the boy before him was at most eighteen years old. An eighteen-year-old Dou Zun—even as a Dou Zun powerhouse, he had never heard of such a thing.
He knew the ancient clans were powerful and full of geniuses, but such a heaven-defying individual was extremely rare even among the ancient clans.
At least, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had never heard of such a prodigy.
"No wonder the Xiao Clan sent two Half-Saints to be his protectors. With such talent, he'll definitely become a Saint in the future, or even a high-level Dou Saint without much difficulty."
In an instant, Lei Zun suddenly felt that his decision to apologize was incredibly wise. He even resolved to seize the opportunity to flatter him.
"You are Lei Zun."
At this moment, Xiao Yan finally spoke slowly.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, I am the current Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. If you don't mind, please call me Old Lei."
"Eh, you're quite sensible." A hint of surprise appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes.
In the original story, this guy was incredibly stubborn, offending the original owner of the body time and again, only to be easily reduced to ashes.
Unexpectedly, in real life, this guy turned out to be a total sycophant.
"Hehe, it's just a small matter. I didn't expect to anger the young master. It's really my fault for managing people."
Lei Zun's few polite words were enough to show everyone in the Han family Xiao Yan's strength. This was Lei Zun, a powerful Dou Zun, yet he was apologizing so humbly.
This scene was simply too dreamlike.
Lei Zun wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Yan ignored him, his gaze already fixed on Feng Qing'er behind him.
"Lei Zun is too kind. You came all this way, why did you bring a beauty?"
"I wonder what this beauty's name is?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's demeanor, the master and disciple both had the same thought.
"This Xiao Yan is indeed a lecherous scoundrel!"
Han Yue, standing not far from Xiao Yan, narrowed her eyes, a hint of jealousy rising within them.
"My name is Feng Qing'er." Without waiting for Lei Zunzhe's introduction, Feng Qing'er spoke first.
She maintained her noble and beautiful demeanor, like a proud swan, seemingly disdainful of Xiao Yan's genius.
However, Xiao Yan's eyes brightened even more.
"You're Feng Qing'er?"
