"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"
In the Xiao family hall of Wutan City, Xiao Yan's resounding words caused Nalan Yanran's delicate body to tremble.
The Xiao family members were also shaken!
[Ding! Invincible Lottery System Activating... Activation Complete! Host, would you like to bind?]
On one side of the hall, Xiao Lei, watching this classic scene with a leisurely gaze, suddenly heard a mechanical notification in his mind.
System?
Hearing that voice, Xiao Lei was immediately overjoyed, forgetting all about watching the show.
He was a transmigrator, reborn into the world of Doupo Cangqiong fifteen years ago.
Before transmigrating, Xiao Lei, like the handsome readers in front of the screen, had read countless books and was naturally familiar with systems.
Originally, Xiao Lei was waiting to cling to the future Flame Emperor's coattails, but unexpectedly, he also had a cheat!
"Binding!" Xiao Lei responded without hesitation in his mind.
[Ding! System Binding... Binding Successful!] "
System, what functions do you have?"
Xiao Lei asked in his mind after successfully binding with the system.
[Ding! This system is an invincible lottery system. The host can obtain random rewards simply by touching other living beings!]
[Note: The higher the luck of the living being touched by the host, the higher the chance of obtaining a prize. The quality of the prize is random! Additionally, each living being can obtain a maximum of ten rewards per year!]
A lottery, huh? I like it!
But I'll have to wait a bit.
Having understood the system's functions, Xiao Lei withdrew his attention and continued to observe the progress of events in the hall.
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already written the letter of divorce, cut his palm, pressed a bloody handprint onto the table in front of Nalan Yanran, and slammed it down.
"From this day forward, you, Nalan Yanran, have no further connection with my Xiao family!"
"You…you dare to divorce me?"
Staring at the bloody handprint on the table, Nalan Yanran's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, as if it were unreal.
Looking at Nalan Yanran's appearance, Xiao Lei shook his head slightly. She was just a spoiled and rebellious girl.
"Father, three years later, Yan'er will go to the Yunlan Sect to personally wash away today's humiliation for you!"
Xiao Yan ignored Nalan Yanran, suddenly turned around, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily to Xiao Zhan. Then he stood up straight and left the hall without hesitation.
Nalan Yanran's act of announcing the engagement was not only a disgrace to Xiao Yan, but also to Xiao Zhan, his father, who would be ridiculed as well.
That's why Xiao Yan said what he did.
After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Zhan coldly dismissed Nalan Yanran and the other two, returning the Qi Gathering Powder to them.
"Disperse, all of you!"
Xiao Zhan said indifferently, his face extremely ugly, and left the hall first.
Xiao Lei silently watched all this without saying anything.
He was just a junior who had just broken through to the Dou Zhe level, and only had the right to listen in.
In this world where the strong are respected, only those with strength have a voice!
Of course, if one's background is so powerful that no one dares to provoke them, that's fine too.
However, Xiao Lei did not have such conditions.
His parents died early, leaving him an orphan. Fortunately, he possessed considerable talent, and his clan provided him with some care.
Xiao Lei followed the crowd, leaving the Xiao family hall, intending to try his luck with Xiao Yan's lottery.
When it came to fortune, who could compare to Xiao Yan?
"Brother Xiao Lei, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a light and melodious voice rang in Xiao Lei's ears.
Xiao Lei snapped out of his thoughts and looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw a girl of about fourteen years old walking towards him with a smile.
The girl wore a purple dress, her temperament elegant and serene, like a purple lotus blooming in the mundane world, pure and beautiful, untouched by worldly dust.
This girl was none other than Gu Xun'er, from an ancient clan, temporarily residing in the Xiao family.
Of course, she was now called Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Lei smiled slightly and casually said, "Thinking about a pretty girl."
Xiao Xun'er said sourly, "Who is it?"
"Hmm, I think her name is Xiao Xun'er," Xiao Lei said, feigning thought.
"Brother Xiao Lei is teasing me again," Xiao Xun'er said coquettishly, though a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
As a transmigrator, Xiao Lei naturally wouldn't overlook Xun'er, this little rich girl; they had been inseparable since childhood.
As for Xiao Yan, his relationship with Xun'er was only so-so, and the matter of him nurturing Xun'er's meridians had certainly not happened.
Xiao Lei reached out and ruffled Xiao Xun'er's hair, chuckling softly, "In my heart, Xun'er is the most beautiful."
[Ding! You touched Gu Xun'er and obtained the Earth-Rank High-Level Cultivation Technique "Thunder Technique"!]
The next instant, the system's mechanical notification sounded in Xiao Lei's mind.
Hearing that sound, Xiao Lei was immediately overjoyed.
He had broken through to the first-star Dou Zhe yesterday and had intended to choose a cultivation technique today, but he had been delayed by Nalan Yanran's annulment of their engagement.
Now, this cultivation technique had come at just the right time.
"Brother Xiao Lei, is your mouth coated with honey? You only know how to say sweet things," Xiao Xun'er said, her heart filled with sweetness.
After all, what girl doesn't like being complimented on her beauty?
Especially when it's from her sweetheart.
"I'm just stating the facts," Xiao Lei said softly, gently stroking Xun'er's delicate nose with his finger.
To Xiao Lei's surprise, the system reward notification rang in his mind again.
[Ding! You touched Gu Xun'er and received a Thunder Fruit! Note: Only usable by lightning attribute cultivators. It can improve cultivation level, temper the body, and consolidate the realm!]
Xiao Lei was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He chatted with Xun'er for a while, occasionally touching her, but no more rewards appeared.
After chatting for a while and agreeing to go shopping together the next day, they parted ways.
Xiao Lei thought for a moment and then turned to head towards the back mountain of the Xiao family, intending to try his luck with Xiao Yan's lottery.
Just as he stepped onto the mountain path, he saw Xiao Yan already coming down the mountain.
"Cousin Xiao Lei, I was just looking for you," Xiao Yan said, his eyes lighting up as he saw Xiao Lei.
Xiao Lei and Xiao Yan were both fifteen years old, but Xiao Lei was three months older than Xiao Yan, so he was addressed as cousin.
Xiao Lei smiled and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Xiao Yan said somewhat awkwardly, "I...I want to borrow some money from you."
Borrow money?
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Lei's heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that Yao Chen had awakened, and Xiao Yan was about to rise to prominence.
In the original story, Xiao Yan borrowed money from Xiao Xun'er.
However, now that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's relationship was only so-so, he didn't feel comfortable asking.
As for Xiao Lei, because he wanted to curry favor with Xiao Yan, regardless of whether Xiao Yan's genius aura existed, Xiao Lei's attitude towards him was always very good.
Therefore, in the entire Xiao family, apart from Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan's two older brothers, Xiao Yan and Xiao Lei had the best relationship.
Thinking to himself, Xiao Lei smiled and said, "No problem, how much do you plan to borrow?"
Xiao Yan rubbed his hands and said, "A thousand gold coins, do you have that?"
"Yes, come with me to get it," Xiao Lei nodded slightly and said.
Xiao Lei's savings over the years amounted to only a little over a thousand gold coins, but he wasn't reluctant to lend it to Xiao Yan.
Now, with his cheat-like abilities, a mere thousand gold coins was nothing.
"Okay," Xiao Yan agreed, and together they headed to Xiao Lei's residence.
Back at their residence, Xiao Lei opened the door, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"There are over a thousand gold coins here. Take them and use them first."
"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Lei. I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible," Xiao Yan thanked Xiao Lei and accepted the bag
of money. Xiao Lei patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said, "No need to rush. I rarely need money."
"Also, don't be discouraged about your cultivation. I believe in you. One day you will rise again and give those who looked down on you a good thrashing ! "
At the same time, the system's mechanical voice sounded again. (End of Chapter)
