Chapter 122: The Famous Engagement Break Scene!
[You don't even need bags when you buy things because your appearance alone is already carrying everything!]
Wang Li: "..."
This simulation is getting a bit long…
Though lengthy, Wang Li was full of anticipation. How exactly would the simulated version of himself "die"?
With heaven-defying luck protecting him, dying would probably be difficult even if he wanted to.
[Xiao Xun'er was extremely curious about you, Gu Yue, and Hu Liena. This was the first time she had seen such a "powerhouse image."]
[Even a strong figure like her father did not appear as radiant and dazzling as you three. In simpler terms, you looked incredibly badass.]
[Unlike Xiao Yan, she was not a transmigrator. She was merely a teenage girl, at the age when curiosity blossomed.]
[You glanced at Xiao Xun'er and shook your head. You didn't even know how old you were anymore. How could you possibly take interest in a little girl?]
[Besides, there were countless goddesses in the God Realm. After all… although the Douluo Plane might be considered somewhat weaker than a "low-tier fantasy world," the number of beauties there was especially abundant!]
[What kind of goddess had you not seen? Even the Six-Winged Angel Qian Renxue—you met her…]
[You withdrew your gaze. Your expression did not change in the slightest.]
[Xiao Xun'er: ...]
[So the world did not revolve around her after all.]
[She glanced at Gu Yue and Hu Liena, as if understanding something.]
[The Xiao clan's main hall was very quiet. Xiao Yan, however, walked over to your side as if no one else existed, smiling gratefully, his eyes filled with appreciation.]
[Before, he hadn't known what kind of resources you had given him, nor how extraordinary a Heavenly Flame truly was.]
[It wasn't until Yao Lao explained everything that he finally understood!]
[In Xiao Yan's heart, you had already become his big brother. When Yao Lao suggested you might have ulterior motives, Xiao Yan nearly fell out with him!]
[When he needed help the most, you were the one who helped him. Even if you truly had some hidden agenda, so what??]
[Before this, he had only been a so-called waste at the third stage of Dou Qi!]
[A drop of water's kindness should be repaid with a surging spring.]
[Let alone the grace of rebirth!]
[I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Li!]
["Brother Li, why don't you and the two sisters-in-law go rest first? My fiancée… who knows when she'll arrive, or what she's coming for…"]
[Hearing Xiao Yan's words, you merely smiled and waved your hand.]
"They're about to arrive."
[Setting aside your strength as the Creator God, even with your power as an eight-star Dou Sheng, finding someone is quite simple.]
[Sure enough, as soon as your voice fell, the sound of many footsteps echoed. A group of people strode arrogantly into the Xiao clan's main hall.]
[Leading them was an elderly man. Beside him stood a young girl, Nalan Yanran…]
[???]
[They had originally intended to get straight to the point, but the moment they noticed you, Gu Yue, and Hu Liena, they froze. The three of you were simply too eye-catching, like the brightest spotlights in the crowd.]
[Their previously domineering aura diminished by several degrees. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is human nature at its finest.]
[You took Gu Yue's hand with one hand and Hu Liena's with the other, retreating behind the crowd.]
[Everyone: ...]
[After some routine pleasantries, they finally began discussing the main matter.]
["Break off the engagement?"]
[The Xiao clan members were stunned. They never expected that she would come to call off the engagement!]
[Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran thoughtfully.]
[Nalan Yanran presented a medicinal pill, and Elder Ge, who accompanied her, explained that she was the Sect Master's disciple and could not marry freely. He further stated that Xiao Yan was not worthy of her.]
[You, Gu Yue, and Hu Liena watched with great interest. This was the classic engagement-breaking scene!]
[Wasn't this exactly what you came here for?]
[The Xiao clan members nodded. Xiao Yan, who had once been at the third stage of Dou Qi, truly was not worthy of two-star Dou Zhe Nalan Yanran.]
[Moreover, Nalan Yanran had brought a fourth-tier medicinal pill, enough to allow the Xiao clan to produce another Dou Zhe.]
[Calling off the engagement wasn't unacceptable.]
[Xiao Yan's expression turned rather strange. If this had been the old him, he would have been furious at being publicly humiliated like this, not only losing face himself but dragging his father down with him.]
[But now? His future was boundless!]
[He had Brother Li. He had his teacher. He had a Heavenly Flame. He had an evolvable cultivation technique…]
[He was now a Dou Shi. Nalan Yanran, a mere two-star Dou Zhe, was no longer worthy of him!]
[The Yunlan Sect was indeed a major sect. Their Young Sect Master had countless resources, yet she was still only a Dou Zhe. Her talent… was just average.]
[As for Xun'er, young, lacking resources, even having certain physical issues, she had still reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi under such conditions…]
[Uh…]
[Xiao Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, yet hesitated.]
[Seeing his strange expression, clearly wanting to speak but holding back, Nalan Yanran assumed he was unwilling to break the engagement or had other requests.]
["As long as you agree to break the engagement, I will ask my teacher to let you join the Yunlan Sect."]
[Aside from publicly humiliating him, Nalan Yanran could be considered quite benevolent. The only thing she failed to consider was that publicly breaking the engagement would disgrace Xiao Yan and his father.]
["Yan-gege…"]
[Xiao Xun'er murmured.]
[Was this girl more attractive than her?]
[Truthfully, Xun'er felt a hint of secret delight at Nalan Yanran coming to break the engagement.]
[But Xiao Yan seemed reluctant…]
[Break it. Let's break the engagement.]
[If you are breaking it because my Dou Qi cultivation was weak, then one day you will regret today's decision.]
[If you are breaking it in pursuit of freedom in love, then I respect your choice.]
[As for compensation, take it back. The Xiao clan does not need it.]
[ Xiao Yan declared confidently.]
[Without strength, he might have responded in anger.]
[But times had changed. He was a full major realm above Nalan Yanran now.]
[Besides, there was already someone he liked in his heart… As for this fiancée he had never even met, she meant nothing to him. Merely a small farce on the road of life.]
[Seeing this, you were slightly surprised. Strength truly could alter one's mindset.]
[ Xiao Yan's power had changed, and so had his heart.]
[???]
[Nalan Yanran stood there dumbfounded, staring at Xiao Yan in confusion.]
[A so-called waste at the third stage of Dou Qi dared to say that breaking the engagement over strength would make her regret it one day?]
[What truly surprised her, however, was the latter half of his words about pursuing freedom in love.]
[She couldn't help but regard him in a new light.]
[She truly had not come to break the engagement because his Dou Qi had vanished. It had little to do with strength. She simply didn't want to be bound by an agreement made by elders, forced to marry someone she had never met.]
[Now that she had met him, Xiao Yan… wasn't bad. Just that something had gone wrong in his cultivation.]
[Of course, that big brother whose name she didn't even know was ridiculously handsome.]
[Unfortunately… that big brother already had wives.]
