Chapter 136 The Queen's Excuse is Too Lame

At dinner, Xun Er told me something: she had contacted her Family seven days ago to send someone to pick her up, and she was returning to her Family today for secluded cultivation.

This was different from my previous life. In my previous life, she wanted to spend more time with me. Not only did she not actively return to the ancient clan, but she even strongly refused after receiving the notice to return to the clan.

I was completely unaware of this. After passing the Canaan Academy enrollment assessment, I chose to take a leave of absence and had been accompanying Xiao Yanzi on his training in the Gama Empire.

It wasn't until after fulfilling the three-year agreement that I went to Canaan Academy to reunite with Xun Er and confirm my feelings.

However, the reunion didn't last long before she was forcibly taken away by the Black Annihilation Army at the request of the Clan Elder.

Our next reunion was five years later when I went to Central Plains, when Little Fairy Doctor and Ice River Valley's Ice Venerate were at odds; she came to save the day.

In this life, however, she wanted to return to the ancient clan earlier. This was beyond my expectation, but upon closer thought, it was reasonable. I am now a Seven-Star Dou Ling and possess several methods to suppress a sixth-tier Demonic Beast. I can even retreat unscathed when facing a Dou Zong, so she would inevitably feel pressure.

Coupled with the comparison to Cai Lin, she must be dissatisfied with her current strength and feels that if she continues like this, she won't even be qualified to stand by my side, which is why she wants to return to the ancient clan.

"Brother Chu Xiao, you truly understand me." A barely perceptible smile flickered in Xun Er's eyes.

I didn't care about this. I liked her simply because she was Xun Er, not because she was the Young Miss of the ancient clan, or because she was a powerful Xun Er who could let me live off her.

"I understand, but I want to be able to help you even more." The smile in Xun Er's eyes deepened.

Medusa's eyes moved, and she felt a strange pang of jealousy.

In my previous life, I couldn't, and shouldn't, delay her, but in this life, if she stays by my side, even a 'waste' like Elder Ya Fei would have many ways to quickly become stronger.

Ya Fei, who was seriously working on Ling Xiao Pavilion's business plan: "..."

You look down on me so much, do you believe I'll just quit?

Returning to the ancient clan would only make her stronger slower than staying by my side; there's really no need to go back.

"Yes, so why did you finally agree?" Many women thought.

It's normal for Xun Er to want to return to the ancient clan to develop, but for you, Chu Xiao, to let her go back, that's a bit abnormal.

But then I thought, I can help Xun Er become stronger together with the ancient clan; there's no need to distinguish between us.

I have already left a mark on her. As long as I expend a little effort, even if she is in the ancient clan, I can contact her, or even see her.

Her return to the clan is a good thing for me, for her, and even for the ancient clan. There's no need to stop her; on the contrary, I should do my best to help her achieve it.

"So that's how it is!" The women suddenly understood.

As expected of a Rebirth Heavenly Emperor, he actually possesses a method to see Xun Er at any time, even after her return to the ancient clan.

Then it is indeed appropriate to temporarily let go. As the Clan Chief's Young Miss of the ancient clan, Xun Er's return to the clan will undoubtedly result in the highest level of cultivation from a Dou Di Family.

Why refuse resources that are freely given!?

But I didn't tell Xun Er about this, planning to give her a surprise after she returned to the ancient clan.

"I've already received this surprise in advance, Brother Chu Xiao." Xun Er restrained herself from laughing.

She also understood that staying by Chu Xiao's side would allow her to grow faster than returning to the ancient clan; the ancient clan could not compare to a Rebirth Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign.

However, she felt that the resources Chu Xiao would use on her could be given to Cai Lin, Little Fairy Doctor, and others.

As for herself, she would return and use the resources prepared for her by the ancient clan to quickly become stronger, and then help Chu Xiao.

Otherwise, wouldn't the ancient clan gain everything without contributing anything, just because she followed the Heavenly Emperor to victory?

The only thing that made her reluctant to leave was Chu Xiao himself.

And now, that problem has been solved.

Cai Lin must have been afraid that I couldn't handle the people coming to pick Xun Er up, so she wanted to go out and back me up.

It's just that the excuse she found was really lame. She actually said she wanted to go outside to get some fresh air. The scope of my Small World is much larger than the Gama Empire, and the heaven and earth energy is even richer than in Central Plains. Is there anyone who would go from a large, good place to a small, inferior place just to get some air?

You might as well have said that you hadn't contacted your Family for too long and were worried about the Family's development and safety, which would have been legitimate.

The women: "..."

Looking at it this way, the reason is indeed a bit lame.

Xun Er secretly gave Medusa a teasing look.

Medusa: "..."

This King should have just ignored everything.

"If you want to leave, you must have your own reasons. I don't want to selfishly stop you; I respect your decision."

"If you can't stay in the clan, or if you miss me, return to the Xiao Family, or find me at Canaan Academy. If I go to Central Plains in the future, I will also come to find you."

"This is the gift I promised you."

Chu Xiao took out three sets of personally made clothes from his storage ring.

One set was purple, as his younger sister looked very charming in purple, primarily using the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's accompanying purple crystal source, scales, etc.

One set was black and pink-gold, also related to the Materials used.

"Thank you, Brother Chu Xiao." Xun Er happily took the dresses.

She received three sets, two more than Medusa.

Medusa: "!"

"When Xun Er's strength is sufficient, she will return to find you." Xun Er said with firm eyes and a serious tone, "Brother Chu Xiao, please don't forget Xun Er."

"I could forget anyone, but I could never forget you." Chu Xiao lightly tapped Xun Er's glabella, injecting a wisp of Thunder Gang Emperor Flame into it.

Medusa suppressed the disdain in her heart: "..."

Two drama queens, hmph!

"This is from this King. I look forward to our reunion." Medusa took out a crystal and handed it to Xun Er.

This was a magic crystal she obtained through a Yellow Rank lottery. When inlaid in a weapon, it was not only beautiful but also increased the speed of Dou Qi condensation.

"Sister Xun Er, this is my gift." Qing Lin took out a box containing snacks she had made herself.

"Thank you!" Xun Er accepted the items.

She didn't give anything in return because the things she wanted to give to Chu Xiao, Medusa, and Qing Lin had already been given.

"Then let's go."

Chu Xiao waved his hand, taking the three women out of the Small World and into the external valley.

"Hmm?"

As soon as he appeared, Chu Xiao turned his head to look at a certain spot, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Xiao Yan was surrounded by a group of Demonic Beasts. These Demonic Beasts were entirely black, with a sharp two-inch long silver horn on their heads, covered in strange patterns. As they breathed, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard, and they had extremely wide four wings on their backs.

They were all extremely rare flying Demonic Beasts, with a minimum strength comparable to a Four-tier Dou Ling, and the leader was a Five-tier, comparable to a Dou King.

These were organized Demonic Beasts, and due to the difficulty of raising them, they were a true symbol of a top-tier force.

On these flying Demonic Beasts, there were also people, all dressed in black-purple robes, their gazes sharp like knife edges, and their bodies exuded a chilling coldness that made one's heart tremble.

But they had no secrets in front of Chu Xiao; most were at the strength of a Seven-star to Nine-star Dou King, and the leader was a Seven-star Dou Huang. He looked to be in his early twenties, extremely handsome, only slightly less so than Chu Xiao, and his black robe gave him a sense of stability.

However, the playful look in his eyes at this moment made one feel that he was merely superficial.

"I've heard of you, Xiao Yan." The man slowly spoke, "A descendant of the Xiao Family who had hoped to reach Dou Huang. It's a pity he later became a waste. Our clan's Young Miss Xun Er even sent a message back to the clan because of that Chu Xiao, hoping for someone to investigate you. How truly laughable."

"So you're from the ancient clan!" Xiao Yan's expression was very ugly.

He had been training hard just now when a flying Demonic Beast suddenly appeared, scaring him so much that he used every method to escape.

He didn't expect it to be a prank from Xun Er's Family.

"You actually know about the ancient clan; it must have been the Young Miss who told you." The leading man narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Otherwise, with the level of your declining Xiao Family, you wouldn't be qualified to know."

Xiao Yan clenched his hands, his chest heaving with anger, but he knew that his current strength truly didn't qualify him to speak, and he didn't want Yao Lao to help him.

At this moment, a seed was planted in his heart: he must become stronger.

One day, no one would be able to despise him and the Xiao Family like this.

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded from the side.

"Whether the Xiao Family is qualified to know about the ancient clan or not is beside the point."

"But to send trash like you to pick up Xun Er, I think it's better if this ancient clan isn't returned to."
