Battle Through the Heavens: I, Yao Chen, can even deceive my disciple's wife.

Page 14

[Ding! Two usable targets detected.] [Yao Chen, Xiao Yan, please make a choice.]

After hesitating for a moment, Yao Chen shook his head, still not deciding to take the risk himself.

"Used by Xiao Yan"

[Ding! Selection complete, activating first impression.]

[Matching titles that match Xiao Yan.][Title: Cuckolded Man.]

[Note: This title will continuously cause the target to lose female favor; the longer it is worn, the greater the effect.] "Huh?! As expected!"

Yao Chen's gamble paid off; seeing a brightly lit green hat on the system screen... Yao Chen almost burst out laughing.

"Luckily. Luckily, I treated my apprentice well, otherwise this thing would have fallen into my hands. Right at the moment the title took effect..."

Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged absorbing Dou Qi, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What's wrong? I have this uneasy feeling."

Just now, while absorbing Dou Qi, Xiao Yan felt a strange tremor in his heart. He noticed nothing had changed around him, and no one had been in the house. Xiao Yan was completely baffled by this feeling.

However, what Xiao Yan didn't know was that... apart from himself, anyone who made eye contact with him would inexplicably think of the words "cuckolded man".

"I guess I'm overthinking it... I should focus on improving my strength as soon as possible..." Xiao Yan murmured to himself before closing his eyes to cultivate again.

However, this time, Xiao Yan only closed his eyes for less than ten minutes before opening them again. "I've been cultivating for several hours... why is my Dou Qi still stagnating?"

Xiao Yan didn't know what was going on, but his internal Dou Qi remained at the third level. He had absorbed Dou Qi very quickly just now, and in theory, he should have reached at least the fourth level of Dou Qi by now.

However, it is still stuck in the third stage.

"No, I'll have to ask my father for help tomorrow." It seems there are no elixirs to aid cultivation.

Xiao Yan now turned his attention to his clan leader father. He didn't want to face his own third-stage Dou Qi; that... he'd rather kill him.

The thought of the Xiao family disciples he had once mocked sent a chill down Xiao Yan's spine. "I must buy some cultivation pills from Father..."

After saying that, Xiao Yan lost all interest in cultivating and immediately lay down... covered himself with the blanket and fell fast asleep. He didn't wake up until the next morning.

There weren't many people around, so Xiao Yan quickly headed to Xiao Zhan's house.

Although there weren't many people around in the morning, some still noticed Xiao Yan.

After all, Xiao Yan was too arrogant, thinking himself to be exceptionally talented, and often mocked them. Due to their status and talent, the Xiao family disciples had no choice but to swallow their pride.

Seeing Xiao Yan's furtive and suspicious appearance, several of Xiao Ning's lackeys immediately went to inform him. Arriving at the villa where Xiao Zhan resided, Xiao Yan looked around to make sure no one was following him before knocking on the door without hesitation.

"Father...Father, Yan'er has come to pay his respects." This was said in the courtyard.

Xiao Zhan was practicing this fighting technique when he heard the noise, and his body trembled.

He dispersed his fighting spirit and looked towards the doorway. "Yan'er? Greetings?"

Chapter 29 Seeking Help from Xiao Zhan

Xiao Zhan muttered to himself, finding it somewhat absurd. He shook his head, convinced it was impossible.

"How could it be Yan'er... Yan'er is probably still sleeping right now... How could he get up so early and come to pay his respects to me?" Xiao Zhan didn't dare to think in this direction. He knew Xiao Yan's personality better than anyone else. He was usually very arrogant and looked down on everyone.

If he weren't Xiao Yan's father, Zhan was certain that Xiao Yan wouldn't even glance at him. The fact that he came to pay his respects now... was somewhat suspicious.

Although Xiao Zhan was skeptical, the voice was unmistakable. He still headed towards the door.

When she opened the door, she met Xiao Yan's furtive gaze.

"Yan." The next moment, just as Xiao Zhan was about to speak, three shining characters suddenly appeared in his mind for some reason.

"Cuckolded man!" The moment the words appeared, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but read them aloud. "Father, what's wrong? What cuckolded man?"

Standing at the door, Xiao Yan was ready to greet everyone and quickly go inside when the door opened.

Suddenly, his father stood at the door, seemingly lost in thought, muttering something about a cuckolded man. He waved his hand in front of Xiao Zhan, as if to see if something was wrong with the father. Saying such things in broad daylight!

As soon as Xiao Yan waved his hand, he saw Xiao Zhan looking at him with a strange expression. "What's wrong, Father? What kind of look is that?"

"No...nothing. Yan'er, is there something you need from your husband?"

Suppressing his curiosity, Xiao Zhan asked Xiao Yan about his visit.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk..." After glancing at Zhou Guo, Xiao Yan decided it was better to go inside and talk. After closing the door and leading Xiao Zhan into the house, Xiao Yan relaxed a lot.

Seeing his son like this, Xiao Zhan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. "What's wrong?"

"Father, do you have any suitable pills to aid your cultivation during the Dou Qi stage? I was a little embarrassed to ask Xiao Yan, who has an adult soul, what I was about to say."

Before Xiao Yan could speak further, no one knows a son better than his father.

Xiao Zhan immediately understood what Xiao Yan wanted, and then replied.

"Nothing for now. But if you need some, Yan'er, I can take you to buy some. I heard these past few days that... the Mittel Auction House seems to have a lot of new items."

At this point, Xiao Zhan first poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot beside him, took a small sip, and then continued, "But Yan'er, tell your father, is something wrong with you...?"

Knowing Xiao Yan as he did, he knew Xiao Yan wouldn't ask him for things like this, since he always gave Xiao Yan the most and best resources every month. That should be enough for him to cultivate to the Dou Qi stage. The fact that Xiao Yan was asking him for help now meant that Xiao Yan had encountered some trouble.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so cautious just now. From the moment he opened the door and saw Xiao Yan's fierce expression, Xiao Zhan began to realize that something was wrong.

However, it was just a suspicion, and now that things are like this... Xiao Zhan spoke only to confirm his thoughts. Hearing his father's question, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and said with some disappointment, "Father, I..."

"Tell your father if it's alright, I'll help you." Seeing Xiao Yan lower his head, the father felt a pang of heartache for him. He gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder to reassure him that everything was alright and that he would take care of everything.

Father, I don't know what's wrong. It seems like there's something wrong with my physical cultivation. My cultivation level is regressing... Now... "It has now dropped to the third level of Dou Qi."

After speaking, Xiao Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the unhappiness that had been weighing on his heart finally had an outlet. Looking at his father in this life, Xiao Yan felt somewhat alienated, after all, he wasn't originally from this world. "What!!!" Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Zhan was so shocked that he stood up abruptly.

He then placed his hand on Xiao Yan's arm and began to probe Xiao Yan's body with his Dou Qi.

Halfway through, an elderly man's face became increasingly wrinkled, and unsurprisingly... nothing was discovered.

There were no problems wherever the battle aura passed through.

I sensed the power within Xiao Yan's body again... and it was exactly as Xiao Yan had described.

Knowing that his father, Xiao Zhan, was investigating for him, Xiao Yan did not resist, but waited anxiously for the verdict. "How is it? Is there something wrong with my body?"

Seeing Xiao Zhan remain silent with a furrowed brow, Xiao Yan, looking tense, was the first to ask.

"No... I checked with my battle qi, Yan'er, there's nothing wrong with your body. Perhaps... perhaps my strength is insufficient to see anything."

Shaking his head, Xiao Zhan couldn't figure it out either. Meanwhile, inside his storage ring...

Yao Chen couldn't help but laugh as he watched the father and son outside.

Of course there's no problem. He didn't damage any of Xiao Yan's meridians or talents; he only absorbed a little bit of Dou Qi.

It was simply a matter of training Xiao Yan according to the original story. He merely took over the work of the original Yao Chen.

As for Xun'er, she was also taken over. It was all the system's fault. If it weren't for the system, he believed in his own character and would never have laid a hand on a young girl who hadn't even reached adulthood.

"Since you want some questions so badly, then I'll give you..."

Seeing that Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan outside still had furrowed brows, Yao Chen began to have some ideas. Then... he opened his palm, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame appeared in the next moment.

Chapter 30 Xiao Mei Arrives

"

With a cold laugh, Yao Chen gently channeled a small flame into Xiao Yan's previously unobstructed meridians. "Hmm?" Sensing the sudden increase in temperature within his body, Xiao Yan looked puzzled.

"Xi. So cold." Just as Xiao Yan was about to ask Xiao Zhan, his body became incredibly cold again. He had been pondering what was wrong with his son.

They were about to ask someone to help them check it out when they suddenly heard Xiao Yan cry out in pain.

Looking closer... fine ice crystals were already spreading across Xiao Yan's face. "What's wrong, Yan'er? Don't frighten your father..."

Seeing Xiao Yan's trembling body and the ice crystals constantly forming and melting on his face, Xiao Zhan couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly placed his hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, wanting to use his Dou Qi to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Zhan placed his hand on it, he was startled by an extremely cold and hot temperature.

Startled, Xiao Zhan quickly removed his hand, then looked at his palm, which was already red and frostbitten, with disbelief. "Father, Father, I..." (Tap tap tap)

With each word Xiao Yan spoke, his teeth chattered uncontrollably, and the way they clashed together was incredibly eerie.

Although the sun was shining brightly outside, Xiao Yan was covered in ice inside. "I'm so hot... Father..."

"I'm so cold, I feel so uncomfortable."

Xiao Yan's words left Xiao Zhan completely bewildered.

The sudden change in temperature left Xiao Zhan, who had never been exposed to a different kind of fire, completely helpless.

Her current appearance is quite frightening; her entire body exudes strangeness, and her clothes are constantly condensing into ice crystals, only to melt away again. "Don't worry... Yan'er, I'll save you right away."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan was about to carry Xiao Yan to treat him, but before he could even touch him, he felt a bone-chilling cold and heat.

"This..." Xiao Zhan didn't know where to start. Xiao Yan was fluctuating between hot and cold, and the temperature was quite alarming. However, as a father, Xiao Zhan quickly began to think.

Before long, Xiao Zhan transformed his battle qi into armor, wanting to see if he could isolate himself from the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

The flame was shattered the moment it was touched; it was far beyond the reach of a Grand Dou Master. "What should I do? What should I do?"

Xiao Zhan was so anxious he was jumping up and down. Seeing his third son in such distress, Xiao Zhan could only watch quietly from the sidelines. However, the commotion on Xiao Zhan's side attracted the attention of many members of the Xiao family.

This immediately attracted the attention of several elders of the Xiao family. Xiao Mei also followed them into the crowd.

"This!!! What... what happened to Xiao Yan?" The first to speak was the Second Elder, who looked excited. He appeared concerned on the surface, but in reality, he was secretly overjoyed.

In fact, several elders of the Xiao family were old fogies, and they had begun to feel somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Zhan, the clan leader.

Relying on Xiao Yan's genius, the clan mobilized a large amount of resources for his cultivation and occasionally used its power to give him special tutoring.

He always claims he bought it with his own money, but those old foxes know perfectly well whether it's his own or not. Now, seeing Xiao Yan like this, they all pretend to care, but secretly they're all laughing to themselves.

"Yeah, Clan Chief... what's wrong with Xiao Yan?" Another elder beside him grinned mischievously.

The Second Elder at least tried to hide the corners of his mouth from turning up, but he laughed loudly, his words filled with glee.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, quickly think of a solution for me..." Xiao Zhan was extremely anxious at this moment. Seeing his son Xiao Yan suffering, he angrily released his internal fighting spirit.

The overwhelming pressure from the Grand Battle Master instantly startled the elders and disciples who were watching the spectacle.

Only Xiao Mei remained calm amidst the crowd. Even as she was swept up by the Dou Qi of a Great Dou Master, she did not move an inch and stood upright, watching.

Looking at Xiao Yan's pale face, alternating between ice and fire, I thought, "Hmph, it must be that wicked guy causing trouble."

Looking at the curse on Xiao Yan's body, Xiao Mei immediately thought of a problem.

No one's attention was on Xiao Mei, so no one noticed that Xiao Mei was able to withstand the clan leader's pressure.

"Quickly, quickly... everyone think of a way. If you can solve my son Xiao Yan's problem, I, in the name of the Xiao family patriarch... will immediately give him a year's worth of cultivation resources."

Seeing that the elders remained unmoved and continued to observe, Xiao Zhan began to tempt them.

He was confident that if he didn't offer something, these old guys would be more than happy to see his son, Xiao Yan, get into trouble. "I'll give it a try..."

Upon hearing that there were resources available, the Second Elder was the first to step forward.

Everyone wants more cultivation resources for their descendants. While Xiao Yan's current state is what they hope for,... if something really happens to Xiao Yan, who knows what foolish things Xiao Zhan might do.

So I decided to give it a try. The result...

They failed naturally, and not only did they fail, they were also burned by the strange fire.

Just as the Second Elder was about to use his Dou Qi to see what was going on with Xiao Yan, his hand was sent flying by a force the moment he touched him.

Naturally, it was Yao Chen who made the move; he didn't want just any Tom, Dick, or Harry meddling in his affairs. This time, he was going to teach Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan a lesson.

Inside the storage ring, Yao Chen saw a large group of Xiao family members and elders gathered outside the headquarters, along with Xiao Zhan, who was watching him intently. Among them was Xiao Mei, whose presence made his heart pound.

In order to avoid making a big fuss and also to hone his skills with Xiao Mei, Yao Chen also withdrew a trace of the strange fire from Xiao Yan's body.

"I'll let you off this time." My wife is more important.

After saying this with a cold laugh, Yao Chen also withdrew the strange fire and crawled out of his storage ring.
