  Chapter 362 Long Kui wakes up

  "How about compared to Xun'er?" Gu Yuan continued to ask.

  "The young lady and Young Master Xiao Se did not have much contact with each other. Young Master Xiao Se really started to show his feelings after the young lady left. Most of the time, it was more like the young lady had a one-sided love for him." Ling Ying told the truth.

  "Unrequited love." Gu Yuan felt a headache. Why did it sound like his own daughter had become someone's bootlicker?

  He immediately patted his forehead with a headache, waved at Ling Ying and said, "You have been staying by Xun'er's side all these years, it's been hard. She is used to your care, you should continue to stay by her side in the future!"

  "I understand. I'll take my leave." Ling Ying bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan and then left.

  "Alas! Girls grow up and cannot be kept, let nature take its course." Gu Yuan sighed helplessly. As a father, he didn't know what to do about Xun'er's emotional affairs. However, if Xiao Se was really as good as Ling Ying said, and treated Xun'er sincerely, he would be a good son-in-law. As for Xiao Se's philandering, in this world where the strong are respected, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and Xun'er, as a little princess of the ancient clan, could not be reduced to a concubine no matter what.

  Thinking of this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but look in the direction of the Heavenly Tomb and sighed, "Xiao Xuan, your Xiao family has a successor!"

  On the other side, after hearing that the Xiao family was wiped out, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei's pupils suddenly shrank and they stood there in a daze, with disbelief flashing in their eyes.

  "Xiao Se, I know that the Xiao family has wronged you in the past, but you don't have to joke with us like this." Xiao Ning said with a pale face and a trembling voice.

  "Do you think I need to joke with you about this kind of thing?" Xiao Se frowned.

  "Where is my grandfather? How is he?" Xiao Yu held Xiao Se's hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

  "What about my grandfather and parents?" Xiao Mei asked with tears in her voice.

  "They are dead, all dead. The whole family was wiped out the night before Xiao Yan's three-year appointment. Except for Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Xiao Yan, you three, and me, no one else stayed in the Xiao family. The only one left in the entire Xiao family is Xiao Mei's sister Xiao Qing. The only one who might be alive is Xiao Yan's father, but he was also captured." Xiao Se felt a little bit reluctant.

  Hearing this, Xiao Yu and the other two were struck by lightning. For a moment, their brains went blank.

  "Who is the murderer?" Xiao Ning clenched his five fingers, his face showing a fierce look.

  "I lured the murderer out and killed him the next day, but the mastermind is still there. Even if you look at the entire continent, there are few people who can match him. If you want revenge, then work hard to become stronger." Xiao Se patted Xiao Ning's shoulder, and then took out a green scroll and a low-level storage ring. "Now that you have broken through to the Fighter level, this low-level earth-level technique matches your fighting spirit. Use it to practice and become stronger as soon as possible. The elixir inside is enough to support your practice to the Fighting King level."

  "Thank you, Xiao Se." Xiao Ning took the scroll and the ring, bowed respectfully and expressed gratitude.

  "You are Xiao Yu's younger brother. You know the relationship between your sister and I. We are all family. There is nothing to thank me for." Xiao Se smiled and shook his head.

  "Yes, yes." Xiao Ning nodded repeatedly and said with a heartless smile: "Xiao Se...Oh no, brother-in-law."

  "Xiao Ning, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull your ears off." Upon hearing Xiao Ning's words, Xiao Yu's pretty face, which had been crying before, instantly turned red, and she raised her jade hand and clamped Xiao Yu's ears.

  "Oh, it hurts, it hurts, brother-in-law, look at her, look at her. Why don't you take care of this tigress of your wife? It hurts, it hurts." Xiao Ning asked Xiao Se for help.

  "Who do you say is the tigress?" As he spoke, Xiao Yu increased the strength in his hands.

  "Haha." Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this funny brother and sister.

  After this farce, the shadow of the Xiao family's annihilation suddenly dissipated a lot.

  "Brother-in-law, you see, even I have earth-level skills and elixirs, so my sister will be your wife..." Xiao Ning rubbed his palms.

  "Your sister already has one." Xiao Se smiled and said, "Yu'er, show him your current cultivation level."

  "Watch this, little brat." Xiao Yu patted Xiao Ning's head, and a pair of light blue fighting spirit wings condensed from behind him.

  "Battle Qi turns into wings, sister, you are actually a Dou Wang strongman." Xiao Ning looked incredulous, as if Xiao Yu had just entered the Grand Dou Master class three years ago!

  "How is it, amazing, isn't it." Xiao Yu showed a proud smile and turned her eyes to Xiao Se, as if to say, look, my man gave it to me.

  Standing aside, Xiao Mei watched Xiao Yu break through to Dou Wang and Xiao Ning obtain the earth-level skills and elixirs. Her heart ached. She mustered up her courage and tremblingly prayed, "Cousin Xiao Se, I..."

  "Don't worry, I won't forget you." Xiao Se gave a reassuring smile and took out a dark green jade box from his ring. "Xiao Mei, your cultivation is still at the ninth level of Dou Qi, so I won't give you any skills for now. Here is a Qi Gathering Pill. When you break through to Dou Zhe, I will give you the right skills and elixirs."

  "Thank you, cousin Xiao Se. Thank you, cousin Xiao Se." Upon hearing that she would also have skills and elixirs, Xiao Mei's charming little face immediately broke into a joyful smile. She took the Qi Gathering Powder and said gratefully.

  Xiao Se nodded and continued, "Xiao Yu, you can guide Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei in their training these few days. I will come back in a few days."

  "Are you leaving again?" Xiao Yu showed a resentful look. Aside from her disappointing brother Xiao Ning, she only had Xiao Se as her relative.

  Xiao Se stepped forward and hugged Xiao Yu, saying softly, "There are some things in the Sea King Pavilion that I need to take care of. I'm sorry, I will make it up to you when I get back."

  "Then you must not lie to me, or I will never talk to you again." Xiao Yu blushed and snuggled in Xiao Se's arms, thinking to herself, compensation? Could it be that?

  Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt both expectant and shy.

  "When have I ever lied to you?" Xiao Se asked unhappily.

  "When have you never lied to me?" Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and asked back.

  "Uh." Xiao Se twitched his lips, let go of Xiao Yu, and changed the subject: "Xiao Mei, Xiao Ning, you should practice well during this period of time, and you are not allowed to be lazy."

  "It's my brother-in-law."

  "Got it, cousin Xiao Se."

  Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei responded.

  Xiao Se nodded in satisfaction, and turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing, Die, and Zi Yan: "Zhu Qing, Die, Zi Yan, let's go."

  "Yeah." Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, Die, and Zi Yan consciously hugged Xiao Se, and disappeared on the spot in the astonished gazes of Xiao Yu and the other two.

  When he appeared again, he had been teleported to Xiao Yixiang's side, which is the headquarters of Neptune Pavilion - Fengcheng.

  "Xiao Se?!" The little medical fairy sitting on the throne saw Xiao Se and the other three appear, and walked up to them with a look of surprise.

  Xiao Se gently stroked Xiao Yixian's head and said with a smile, "Xian'er, how did you handle the situation?"

  "The Demon Flame Valley has completely disappeared, and the medicinal herbs that were stimulated by the Heavenly Bottle in the past two years have been collected." The Little Medical Fairy smiled and handed over a storage ring and the Heavenly Bottle. "The medicinal herbs are all in the storage ring. As for the Heavenly Bottle, I have also collected enough green liquid, which is enough for a long time. Now I return it to its original owner."

  Xiao Se nodded, took the storage ring and the Heavenly Palm Bottle and put them into the system warehouse. Then he took out two 100,000-year-old leg bones of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, "Xian'er, take these two soul bones and absorb them. After the auction is over in a month, I will take you and Zhu Qing to Douluo Continent to replenish your soul rings and soul bones."

  "Yes." The little medical fairy took it with a smile. With these two soul bones, his poisonous body could be further controlled, and his cultivation would naturally improve.

  A month later, in a valley deep inside the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

  Xiao Se sat cross-legged in front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron.

  Next to him was an old man who looked like the old demon, with dull eyes and like a puppet. It was the demon puppet that Xiao Se had refined using the body of the old demon, the soul of the Iron Guardian, and the seventh-level fire-attributed magic core.

  The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Thunder would fall from time to time, but without exception, it was caught by the Earth Demon Puppet.

  As the last thunder fell, a blood-colored pill the size of a longan flew out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron and fell into Xiao Se's palm.

  "This is the third Yin-Yang Soul Pill, and it's pretty good." Xiao Se looked at the blood-colored pill in his hand, smiled faintly, tilted his head to look at the Earth Demon Puppet beside him, and couldn't help but frowned: "It has absorbed seven waves of thunder tribulations from seventh-grade pills, but still failed to be promoted to Heavenly Demon Puppet. It seems that it must have the colored pill thunder of eighth-grade pills. But with my current foundation, refining eighth-grade pills is still a bit of a stretch."

  "Well, let it be. It's time to go to Black Seal City. Xian'er is still waiting for my elixir." Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Se stood up and put away the Earth Demon Puppet and the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron. Just as he was about to leave, a long-lost blue light floated out from the magic sword pattern in his right hand, fell to the ground, and turned into Long Kui's beautiful figure.

  "Brother, Long Kui misses you so much." Long Kui threw herself into Xiao Se's arms.

  "Has it broken through?" Xiao Se stroked Long Kui's jade back and said softly. As early as three months ago, when Xiao Se helped Yun Shan to remove the secret method of the Soul Palace, he found that Long Kui had entered a state of emptiness, and the power of her soul was increasing at a speed several times faster than before, as if she was breaking through. Xiao Se did not disturb Long Kui and let her do it.

  "Yes. Brother, according to the soul level classification of the Douqi Continent, Long Kui's soul realm has now broken through to the middle stage of the heavenly realm!" Xiao Se's intimacy made Long Kui's beautiful eyes bend into two shallow crescents, and she smiled sweetly.

  "Congratulations. When I become an eighth-rank alchemist and refine the Born Bone Blood-Melting Pill, I will find a suitable female Dou Zun for you soon. Oh no, Dou Sheng skeleton." Xiao Se smiled slightly, without showing any surprise. The soul power of Long Kui is already strong, and he has practiced the Guiyuan Soul Art for five or six years. It would be strange if his soul realm did not break through.

  "Long Kui has always believed in my brother." Long Kui stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Se's lips. Xiao Se responded immediately, and the two of them were intimate for a long time before Xiao Se reluctantly went to Black Seal City.

  In the Black Seal City.

  "Teacher, it's so lively here." Looking at the crowds of people around him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.

  "Well, it looks like a major auction is about to be held, otherwise it would not be possible for so many people to gather here." In Xiao Yan's mind, Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded beside his ears.

  "Auction?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, he felt that his chance to pick up a bargain had come.

  At this moment, the crowd in the distance suddenly cried out in surprise:

  "Everyone, look, it's the Sea King Pavilion's Pavilion Master Tian Du Nu, Deputy Pavilion Master Die, as well as the Barbarian Emperor Zi Yan and the Netherworld Emperor Zhu Zhu Qing."

  "Two Dou Zong masters, two Dou Huang masters, the lineup of the Sea King Pavilion is too powerful."

  "That's nothing. It is said that the Sea King of the Sea King Pavilion is also a mysterious seventh-grade alchemist. It was him who killed the Demon Flame Valley's master, the old demon, some time ago. This auction is to sell the elixirs he made. It is said that there is also a sect-breaking pill among the auction items."

  Listening to the discussion in the crowd, Xiao Yan looked in the direction the crowd pointed, and saw Xiao Yixian and the other three flashing out from the depths of Black Seal City and flying rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the crowd.

  "It's them." Xiao Yan recognized Xiao Yixian and Die at a glance. She had seen Xiao Yixian at the place where the old demon had fallen a month ago, and had beaten her severely at that time. She had seen Die at the wedding of Medusa and Xiao Se in the depths of the Tagor Desert.

  "Xiao Yan, be careful, don't let that girl find out, her cultivation has already broken through to the Eight-Star Dou Zong." Yao Lao's reminder sounded again in Xiao Yan's heart. Yao Lao was particularly wary of this Sky Poison girl who coveted his strange fire. This was a woman who didn't play by the rules. If Xiao Se hadn't appeared in time last time, I'm afraid he would have really lost the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

  "Eight-star Dou Zong." Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva. While holding his breath, his sight followed Xiao Yixian and the other three to the top of the gate of Black Seal City. In the sky outside the gate, a figure gradually enlarged. As it got closer, Xiao Yan finally saw the person clearly. It was Xiao Se.

  Seeing Xiao Se coming, Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief. With him around, Little Medical Immortal would not dare to act recklessly. He immediately smiled and said, "It seems that the seventh-grade alchemist they are talking about must be him. It's just that his purpose in holding this auction is a little confusing to me."

  "Why don't we just go and have a look?" Xiao Yan said with some displeasure after hearing the joy in Yao Lao's words. He thought, why is he everywhere? Now even the teacher is beginning to favor him.

  Xiao Se rushed to Black Seal City and first glanced at the crowd. After spotting Xiao Yan, he sneered in his heart and looked at Xiao Yixian and the other three with a gentle gaze: "Am I not late?"

  "It's not too late, the time is just right." Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.

  "If you arrive one hour later, the auction will begin." Xiao Yixiang continued with a smile.

  "Sorry, it delayed us for a while because Long Kui just woke up." Xiao Se chuckled.

  "Long Kui?" The girls' eyes lit up, especially Die and Zi Yan. They were the only two among Xiao Se's many wives...ah, among his many recognized female friends, who knew of Long Kui's existence but had never seen her.

  "Zhu Qing and Xian'er have already met Long Kui. I will introduce her to you later." Looking at the curious expressions of Die and Zi Yan, Xiao Se smiled slightly and said.

  "Then we have to meet her. My sister said that Long Kui is a very good person." Die said with a smile.

  "I want to meet her too. I want to make friends with Long Kui." Zi Yan said excitedly. She had been alone since she was a child, so she longed for friendship.

  "Don't worry, I won't let you down. Let's go in and finish the auction first. Xian'er's Bodhi Body Saliva depends on today." As he spoke, Xiao Se's figure flashed and rushed into the depths of Black Seal City. Xiao Yixian and the other four followed closely behind.
