Chapter 23: Soul Cang’s Shock! The Skill Is Finally Acquired

The next day, early morning.

Sunlight spilled onto Soul Cang’s face, and he woke up. He reached out, but his hand met empty air.

“Huh, when did Xiao Mei leave?” Soul Cang sat up, still able to smell the lingering fragrance of her body.

It took him a little while to get dressed.

Stepping out, he prepared to find Xiao Yan. Now that he had a relationship with Xiao Mei and was closer to the Xiao Family, he could give the Burning Tips to him, right?

Just then, Xiao Yan walked over.

“Second Brother,” Soul Cang said with a smile when he saw him.

Xiao Yan also smiled and said, “Big Brother, do you want a wife? Just say the word, and I’ll send her to you.”

“What?” Soul Cang was stunned.

Xiao Yan, without explanation, pulled him to the main hall.

In the main hall, Xiao Zhan and three Elders were already waiting.

“Greetings, Lord Cang King.”

Seeing Soul Cang appear, they cupped their fists and bowed respectfully.

Sitting in the main seat, Soul Cang looked at Xiao Yan in a daze and asked, “Second Brother, what is this?”

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan’s lips. He said, “Big Brother, didn’t I say yesterday that I would give you a gift?”

Soul Cang nodded slightly, but what did this have to do with the ‘wife’ he just mentioned?

Then, Xiao Yan explained the discussion he had with his father and the Elders.

After listening to their explanation, Soul Cang stared blankly at Xiao Yan, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

What the heck?

To thank me, but because you don’t have anything valuable enough… you decided to choose a girl from the family to be my personal maid?

Is this something a human brain could come up with?

Xiao Yan was still winking at Soul Cang, as if urging him to agree quickly.

“Wait a minute, all of you.”

Dropping that sentence, Soul Cang grabbed Xiao Yan’s shoulder and led him to a deserted spot.

He said in a deep voice, “Second Brother, what are you playing at? It’s one thing if you don’t want the skill I gave you, but how could you even do something like offering a girl? Does this fit your personality? You weren’t possessed by someone, were you?”

Xiao Yan said seriously, “Big Brother, we are Fellow Countrymans. How could I harm you? Let’s not talk about the previous life. In this life, you are not young anymore; it’s time to consider settling down and starting a family.”

Hearing this, Soul Cang couldn’t help but laugh.

“Second Brother, don’t joke. I’m good to you because we’re Fellow Countrymans. If you become stronger, you can help me in the future. They don’t understand, but don’t you?”

Soul Cang was truly speechless. Why go through all this elaborate nonsense?

Moreover, what did he just hear?

The person they chose was Xiao Yu, but he had already slept with Xiao Mei last night.

If things went on like this, wouldn’t everything be a mess?

Xiao Yan said earnestly, “Big Brother, if I don’t do this, my father won’t agree. I can’t tell him those secrets.”

Alas… If I had known it would be so troublesome, I should have just given the Burning Tips to Xiao Yan directly, Soul Cang thought.

“Big Brother, don’t be so reserved. We’re in another world now. Open your mind, broaden your horizons.” Seeing him silent, Xiao Yan pressed on, quickly trying to persuade him.

“No, besides, I, I…” Thinking of his actions last night, Soul Cang felt numb.

The Xiao Family didn’t seem to be like this either. How come everything seemed to be in chaos since his arrival?

In fact, Soul Cang completely underestimated the influence of a Dou Emperor on Wutan City.

Especially the goodwill he showed towards Xiao Yan, which easily created a misunderstanding.

That is, Soul Cang was a very emotional person.

Xiao Yan had only recognized him as a Big Brother, yet Soul Cang took care of him in various ways.

If she became Soul Cang’s wife or a close person, what kind of situation would there be then?

But how could they know that every time Soul Cang was good to Xiao Yan, there would be even more generous rewards.

“Big Brother, what’s wrong?” Xiao Yan asked with concern.

“Nothing.” Soul Cang waved his hand, compromising, just wanting to get the skill settled quickly. “Just do as you say, but let’s be clear beforehand, she’s just a maid. Don’t spread rumors.”

Xiao Yan smiled: “Don’t worry, Big Brother.”

Soon, Xiao Zhan and the three Elders learned that Soul Cang had indeed agreed, and they were immediately excited.

Compared to a nominal Big Brother, if Xiao Yu could win over Soul Cang, the connection between the Xiao Family and Soul Cang would be even closer.

If she could even bear Soul Cang’s child, the Xiao Family would truly have a backer.

In the following time, a figure appeared by Soul Cang’s side, and that was Xiao Yu.

This woman, known for her fiery temper, showed a gentle side that was completely unfamiliar to the Xiao Family members.

One day, as Xiao Yan was about to break through, Soul Cang handed him the Burning Tips.

“Devouring Heavenly Flames to level up? Is there such a skill, Big Brother? It’s too miraculous, isn’t it?” Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise after hearing the introduction.

Soul Cang nodded: “Yes, you can cultivate with confidence. For matters concerning Heavenly Flames, Big Brother is here.”

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

Xiao Yan nodded excitedly: “Don’t worry, Big Brother, I will definitely not let you down.”

Subsequently, he entered a state of cultivation.

Not long after, Soul Cang saw Dou Qi gathering around Xiao Yan.

He’s starting to break through… Soul Cang whispered softly.

“Ding…”

Just as Xiao Yan’s aura suddenly surged, the system’s voice rang in his mind.

Immediately following, a surge of information flooded into Soul Cang’s mind, giving him a swollen, distended feeling, and his brows furrowed slightly.

After a while, Soul Cang slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them.

“I was right, the system really perfected the Burning Tips!” Soul Cang’s lips curled into a satisfied smile as he digested the information in his mind.

Things were indeed as he expected; simply providing the skill to Xiao Yan was useless. He had to cultivate it to meet the requirements.

And at this moment, a skill called “Suppression Incineration Skill” appeared in Soul Cang’s mind. Compared to the Burning Tips’s simple function of devouring Heavenly Flames,

The Suppression Incineration Skill could not only devour Heavenly Flames but also perceive the locations of other Heavenly Flames through them. Furthermore, it had six seals that could suppress Heavenly Flames while also launching extremely powerful attacks.

The more he understood, the happier Soul Cang became. He knew the locations of most Heavenly Flames.

Coupled with his own identity, collecting them would not be difficult.

“Perhaps by the time Xiao Yan’s three-year agreement ends, I might have already advanced to Dou Saint,” Soul Cang couldn’t help but think.

“Big Brother.” At this moment, Xiao Yan’s voice interrupted his thoughts of the future. Soul Cang turned to look at him. “I’ve broken through! I’ve become a Dou Practitioner again!”

Soul Cang’s lips curved into a smile: “Good. Now you can start refining medicine and give the Jia Lie Family a taste of their own medicine.”

“I will, Big Brother!” Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with confidence.

After staying in the Xiao Family for another three months, Soul Cang watched as the Xiao Family’s market business flourished with the support of the medicines refined by Xiao Yan. He took some time to give Xiao Mei some things.

The girl was very obedient, as if that incident had never happened, bowing every time she saw Soul Cang.

If it weren’t for her occasionally sneaking into Soul Cang’s bed late at night, even Soul Cang would have thought it was all a dream.

One day, Soul Cang gave Xiao Yan two jade slips.

“Keep these two jade slips well. One can transmit sound, and the other can pinpoint locations. If you encounter anything you can’t solve, tell me, and I will cross over to help you immediately, understand?”

Xiao Yan was a little reluctant: “Big Brother, aren’t you coming to the Demon Beast Mountain Range with me?”

“Get lost! With me around, how can you train properly?”
