Chapter 5: Xiao Yu is Pregnant, Dou Di Bloodline Pill!
"Crack!"
Xiao Mei was so engrossed in listening that she accidentally stepped on a branch beside her feet.
It was just an ordinary sound, but at this moment, it seemed particularly harsh.
The young girl's heart skipped a beat; she finally came to her senses, then quickly ran away with a flushed face.
Inside the room, Xiao Yu also heard the sound from outside.
"Brother Li, is there someone outside?"
Xiao Li comforted her, "No, you misheard. Concentrate."
"Come, separate a little."
A moment later, the battle finally ended.
Xiao Yu was slightly out of breath, her jade forehead covered in sweat, as alluring as an apple covered in morning dew. She fell into a deep sleep... Meanwhile, Xiao Mei had returned to her own room, panting softly.
Her mind was filled with what she had just heard and seen.
Her face was completely flushed with embarrassment.
"Brother Li and Sister Xiao Yu actually..."
She bit her thin lips lightly, feeling a burning sensation all over her body, and her delicate hand involuntarily reached for her skirt... [Ding! Xiao Yu has successfully conceived!]
[Obtained "Secret Art: Fire Devouring Supreme Yang Art"!]
[Obtained "Fifth-Grade Alchemist Experience"!]
[Obtained "ninth-grade medicinal pill - bloodline pill"!]
[Note: If Xiao Yu successfully gives birth to an heir later, you can receive rewards again!]
The system's voice in his mind made Xiao Li's eyes light up.
Xiao Yu is pregnant?!
He had only cultivated twice; this was too accurate!
Although it was impossible for a normal person to detect pregnancy so quickly,
if the system said she was pregnant, then she definitely was!
And the rewards were extremely generous.
[Secret Art: Fire Devouring Supreme Yang Art: Can strengthen one's power by absorbing and refining various flames. Additional effect: Strengthens male power, making one majestic and imposing!]
There was no need to elaborate on the Fifth-Grade Alchemist experience. Xiao Li immediately felt a wealth of alchemy knowledge in his mind, allowing him to directly refine fifth-grade pills!
He instantly ascended to a Fifth-Grade Alchemist!
But what truly shocked Xiao Li was that ninth-grade bloodline pill!
[bloodline pill: A peak ninth-grade medicinal pill. After consumption, it can activate the Dou Di Bloodline within the body to a certain extent!]
"Activate the Dou Di Bloodline?!"
Xiao Li's heart was ecstatic.
But there were also some doubts in his mind.
As far as he knew, the Dou Di Bloodline of the Xiao Clan had long been completely drawn out by Xiao Xuan alone to attempt to break through to Dou Di.
Otherwise, the Xiao Clan would not have fallen to its current state, completely devoid of the appearance of an ancient eight great clan.
"However, since the system certainly wouldn't give useless items, I'll know if it's real or fake after taking one."
Xiao Li quickly figured it out.
He would know if it was useful after taking one.
Taking out the smooth, colorful bloodline pill, Xiao Li didn't hesitate and swallowed it directly.
Buzz!
The pill melted upon entering his mouth, forming a scorching energy that coursed through Xiao Li's entire body.
At this moment, he felt the blood in his body boiling, and an endless surge of power crazily gushed out.
[Consumed 'bloodline pill', Dou Di Bloodline activated by 5%, successfully advanced to One-Star Great Dou Shi!]
Feeling the surging aura within him, Xiao Li's eyes lit up.
"It actually works!"
Xiao Li pondered for a moment and suddenly understood.
Although most of the Xiao Clan's bloodline had been drawn out by Xiao Xuan, it was like a stone; no matter how much it was crushed, it would only turn into ashes, not completely disappear.
Xiao Xuan drawing out the Xiao Clan's bloodline merely rendered its power almost useless.
It didn't mean that there was truly no Dou Di Bloodline left in the Xiao Clan's members.
And now, this peak ninth-grade bloodline pill had reactivated the Dou Di Bloodline within Xiao Li, which was previously unusable!
Of course, it was only activated; it didn't mean a meteoric rise, nor did it mean he could directly become a Dou Di.
5% of bloodline power, in comparison, was probably similar to the bloodline power within ordinary disciples of those ancient clans.
"But this is at least a good start. One-Star Great Dou Shi, that's fast."
Xiao Li stretched his limbs, looking at the sleeping Xiao Yu on the bed, feeling a pang of heartache.
Every time, Xiao Yu was so exhausted she almost fainted.
Xiao Li couldn't help it; once he started, he couldn't control himself and rushed things.
"Now that Yu'er is pregnant, when she gives birth to the child, there will be more rewards."
After knowing he could be a father, Xiao Li felt a greater sense of responsibility.
Gently covering Xiao Yu with the blanket, Xiao Li then left... Three days later.
Xiao Family assessment.
As an important annual event, the assessment day was the most crucial day for the entire Xiao Family, a time to test the strength of the younger generation.
On this day, the young men and women of the Xiao Family had already prepared early.
And this time's assessment, the biggest focus remained only one—Xiao Yan!
As a former genius and now a good-for-nothing, the entire Xiao Family paid close attention to Xiao Yan's situation.
Some sympathized, others gloated.
However, this time, Xiao Yan had shed his usual decadent and was full of confidence.
"Quiet!"
The one in charge of the assessment was Xiao Li—as the second young master of the Xiao Family, he still held that prestige.
Although the people of the Xiao Family looked down on Xiao Yan, they still held Xiao Li in high regard.
On one hand, it was because he was handsome and naturally charming; both the young men and women in the family admired him greatly.
On the other hand, it was because of Xiao Li's excellent talent and strong cultivation.
"Begin the assessment. First, Xiao Xun'er."
Xiao Li announced with a serious face.
Subsequently, Xiao Xun'er, dressed in green, moved with light steps to the assessment stele, extended her fair wrist, and placed her palm on the stele.
The light was dazzling,
"Dou Qi: Ninth Segment! Level: High-Grade!"
Looking at the characters on the stele, the crowd below gasped in surprise, even filled with awe.
"Brother Li, how was it?"
The young girl didn't care about the gazes of those around her, but instead blinked her eyes, looking at Xiao Li beside her as if seeking praise.
"As expected of Xun'er." Xiao Li smiled and, in front of everyone, raised his hand to pat the young girl's head, drawing countless envious glances.
"Hehe, thank you."
Xiao Xun'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she left contentedly.
"Next, Xiao Mei."
Hearing Xiao Li's words, Xiao Mei, in a purple dress, walked from the crowd and gracefully approached the stele.
"Dou Qi: Seventh Segment! Level: High-Grade!"
Although slightly inferior to Xun'er, it was still a very good result.
"Mei'er, you're also great."
Xiao Li treated everyone equally, patting the girl's head.
"Thank you, Brother Li..."
The girl's cheeks were flushed with shyness, her gaze wandering, too guilty to look at Xiao Li, and she quickly turned and stepped down.
Instead, Xiao Li felt a little strange.
But the assessment had to continue, and he didn't think too much about it.
"Next, Xiao Yan!"
As this name was called, the entire venue fell silent, and all eyes were on Xiao Yan.
The latter lifted his head and chest, striding confidently towards the stage, and openly placed his palm on the stele.
The next moment, light shone,
"Dou Qi: Fifth Segment! Level: Mid-Grade!"
