22: The bloody proposal, Xiao Mei is unwilling to accept it

Chapter 22: A Cliche Proposal, Unwilling Xiao Mei

Xiao Family, main hall.

“You rejected a Heaven-tier cultivation technique that was within your grasp?”

The First Elder’s eyes widened, his mouth agape, his face filled with disbelief and incomprehension.

One must know that even an Earth-tier cultivation technique was enough to plunge Wutan City into a bloodbath.

And what did he just hear?

Xiao Yan actually rejected a Heaven-tier cultivation technique that was within his grasp??

Is this normal?

Everyone present, except for Xiao Zhan, was unable to understand.

“Cough, cough…” Facing everyone’s gaze, Xiao Zhan slowly spoke, “This is what I asked Yan'er to do.”

“Why, Patriarch?” The Second Elder pressed, “Xiao Yan is young and doesn’t know any better, that’s understandable. But you, as the Patriarch, why aren’t you considering the family?”

Xiao Zhan said seriously, “I only recently found out that Cang King not only gave Yan'er cultivation resources but also found him an Alchemist teacher. There are other benefits, which I won’t go into detail about.”

An Alchemist teacher?

This was undoubtedly another heavy blow, striking hard at everyone’s hearts, a strong sour taste almost overflowing from their mouths.

He recognized a Big Brother, not only did his strength recover, but even his future plans were arranged.

This wasn’t just a Big Brother; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was a biological father!

Xiao Zhan continued, “My thought is that since Yan'er has received so many benefits from his Big Brother, he should learn to be content. He has already received benefits without merit. If he were to take a Heaven-tier cultivation technique again, it would leave Cang King with an image of being insatiable, which is not good.”

The words fell.

The hall fell silent.

They somewhat agreed with Xiao Zhan’s view.

After all, the Xiao Family truly had nothing valuable enough for a Dou Emperor to covet.

The First Elder was a little unwilling, “Heaven-tier, a Heaven-tier! Are we just going to watch it go and not take it?”

Xiao Yan then said, “Actually, I have an idea.”

Everyone looked at him with curiosity.

“Quick, tell us,” the Second Elder said impatiently.

“My Big Brother, he’s actually not as terrifying as one might think. He’s very easy to talk to, but it’s also a fact that I’ve received so many benefits from him for free. Since our Xiao Family doesn’t have anything presentable, why don’t we send a wife to my Big Brother? He’s not young anymore, and this is indeed suitable.”

Xiao Yan slowly said.

As fellow transmigrators, he felt he understood Soul Cang quite well. Which man hasn't dreamed of having multiple wives and concubines?

He didn't have the opportunity before, but now Big Brother has strength and background, so he will definitely marry wives in the future. If I can arrange one in advance, I won't have to worry about the future sister-in-law not getting along with me and causing trouble.

Yes.

Xiao Yan considered the long term. To firmly cling to this powerful backer, he also began to plan for Soul Cang.

Xiao Zhan and the three Elders were all stunned.

But upon closer thought, it seemed to make sense. Although it might be a bit embarrassing to say it out loud, from another perspective, which girl in the Xiao Family could guarantee a Dou Emperor-level husband in the future?

Moreover, Soul Cang was still so young, his future prospects were limitless, and he had great room for development.

Immediately, a discussion began, asking Xiao Yan if Soul Cang would agree.

Xiao Yan said confidently that as long as someone in the family was willing, he would naturally find a way to persuade his Big Brother.

So, the Elders called over several suitable young women from the family and their parents.

After a brief explanation.

Xiao Mei was the first to step forward, “Patriarch, Elders, I am willing.”

She wanted to become strong too much. She had once managed to surpass Xiao Yan, but before she could be happy for long, within a year, Xiao Yan had surpassed her again.

And all of this, in the end, was because Xiao Yan recognized Soul Cang as his Big Brother.

“You’re still too young, forget it,” Xiao Yan said, looking at her. Xiao Mei, by careful calculation, wasn’t even sixteen yet.

A middle-aged man immediately stood up, “She’s not small! Children from ordinary families, at Mei'er’s age, are already nursing babies.”

This person was Xiao Mei’s father.

Others also expressed their stance one after another. To be able to establish a relationship with a Dou Emperor was like a common hen turning into a phoenix; who wouldn't go crazy?

Even if Xiao Zhan repeatedly stated that with the Xiao Family's qualifications, she might only end up as a maid, they were still willing.

After a heated discussion, Xiao Zhan and the three Elders finally decided on Xiao Yu.

Because Xiao Yu’s age was close to Soul Cang’s, and she had studied at Canaan Academy, her status was considered a bit more respectable than others in the Xiao Family.

Finally, Xiao Mei glared at Xiao Yan in anger and ran out.

“Xiao Lin, hurry and go persuade her,” the Third Elder said to Xiao Mei’s father upon seeing this.

…

On the other side.

Soul Cang lay down for a while in the back mountain, then returned to his guest room.

Looking at the spotless environment, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~~

He had thought the discussion would be simple, but Soul Cang waited until nightfall, and Xiao Yan still hadn’t come over.

This made him want to rush over and tell Xiao Yan that there was really no need, just quickly accept the Burning Tips, and he would leave once he received the system reward.

During this time, Yao Chen, having nothing to do, came over for a stroll.

He chatted with Soul Cang about some interesting anecdotes of Xiao Yan over the past year.

Yao Chen even casually asked why Soul Cang was so good to Xiao Yan, sending cultivation resources, arranging himself to be Xiao Yan’s teacher, and giving him cultivation techniques.

It was almost as if he was explicitly asking, why was Soul Cang such a simp?

Soul Cang rolled his eyes at him, not answering.

His inner thought was, what does an old geezer like you know?

There were only two relatively clear paths to becoming an Emperor on the Dou Qi Continent: emperor pill and abnormal fire.

His system’s overall function, while not entirely useless, was only a little bit useful.

So, knowing that abnormal fire could help one become an Emperor, and the key to it lay in the Burning Tips.

Soul Cang naturally wanted to obtain the complete Burning Tips, or an even better Burning Tips, through the system. A flawed Burning Tips carried risks in cultivation.

This did not fit his transmigrator style!

In his slumber, Soul Cang suddenly heard a faint movement, followed by the door being opened.

Who? What do they want to do?

His Dou Emperor strength kept him completely calm.

The person stood by the bed, silent for a moment, then a rustling sound was heard.

Soul Cang hadn’t quite figured out what was happening when a warm, smooth, delicate body, carrying a refreshing fragrance, slipped into his embrace.

“Xiao Mei?” Soul Cang recognized her face and was stunned.

Xiao Mei’s cheeks were flushed, and a hint of nervousness showed in her eyes as she slowly said, “Cang King, I heard that you offered a cultivation technique to Brother Xiao Yan, but he refused it.”

Soul Cang was surprised, “Yes, but what does that have to do with you coming to my room?”

Xiao Mei said, “I heard them say that they don’t have a very close relationship with you, and felt embarrassed to take it again. If you accept me, then there will be another layer of relationship between you and the Xiao Family, and they won’t have any more reservations.”

Hmm?

Soul Cang was stunned. What kind of logic was this?

But coming from Xiao Mei’s mouth, he wasn’t surprised.

However, if he were to actually do this, he should do it openly, not secretly.

After all, he was a Dou Emperor.

While he was pondering, Soul Cang realized his handle had been grasped!

Instantly, being in the prime of his youth, he no longer cared.

Anyway, he was a Dou Emperor!
