"Brother Xiao Bai, are you alright..."
Xun'er's words were cut short as her smile froze upon seeing the scene before her.
"Xun... Xun'er!"
At the same time, Xiao Bai's hellish scream echoed from inside the room.
"You... you guys!"
Xun'er's eyes instantly reddened, crystal tears streaming down her fair cheeks, her mind going completely blank.
Inexperienced in such matters, she had never witnessed anything like this.
Realizing what had happened, she was furious and stormed out.
Shameless!
Bastard!
Scumbag!
Watching the heartbroken Xun'er leave, Xiao Bai felt his scalp tingle, his face burning with shame and anger.
What kind of mess was this?!
He was a victim too!
It was all this damn system's fault for causing trouble halfway through!
And to make matters worse, Xun'er caught them red-handed!
He was doomed!
In that instant, Xiao Bai cursed the system a thousand times in his mind.
Even with his two lifetimes of experience and worldly wisdom, he was still quite troubled by this embarrassing situation.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for taking Ya Fei as your wife!]
[Reward: Dragon Soul Cauldron: Legend has it that it was created by the Dragon Emperor in ancient times, containing the essence of the dragon race.]
"Dragon Soul Cauldron!"
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
His mood eased slightly.
Legend has it that there exists a Heavenly Cauldron Ranking in the Dou Qi Continent!
On the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, there are thirteen alchemy cauldrons!
Each one is a top-tier alchemy cauldron coveted by countless alchemists!
The Dragon Soul Cauldron ranks fourth on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!
It is absolutely the best of the best!
With the help of this Dragon Soul Cauldron, his alchemy will be twice as effective!
"I wonder how Xun'er is doing."
Xiao Bai sighed helplessly.
Things have come to this.
There's nothing he can do to change anything, after all, his system itself is rather unreliable.
This situation was bound to happen sooner or later.
It's just that Xun'er found out a few days earlier.
While pondering...
A sharp scream suddenly rang in Xiao Bai's ears.
"Ah!!!"
Ya Fei woke up!
The two were pressed together, their clothes scattered on the ground.
The scene was chaotic!
"You! You! You!"
Ya Fei uttered "you" three times in a row, but she didn't know what to say next.
She remembered everything that had just happened.
She thought Xiao Bai was just a child, but she didn't expect his physical body to be so powerful!
"..."
Xiao Bai's expression was also slightly stiff. He smiled bitterly and said, "Although I don't know why it turned out like this, I, Xiao Bai... will take responsibility for you!"
Ya Fei looked at Xiao Bai's determined expression and her heart, which had been turbulent for many years, was touched.
"Hmph! Dream on~"
Ya Fei gave a charming snort and said, "I don't need you to take responsibility!"
...
At the same time.
Xun'er ran all the way and just walked out of the Mittel Auction House when she saw Xiao Zhan leading the elders rushing over in a hurry.
"Xun'er."
Xiao Zhan asked with a smile, "Is Nephew Xiao Bai at the Mittel Auction House?"
Xun'er's face was ashen. She glanced indifferently at everyone before saying angrily, "No!"
With that,
she bypassed the crowd and ran away into the distance,
leaving everyone bewildered and disoriented in the breeze.
"Xun'er, what's wrong with her?"
Xiao Zhan asked, puzzled.
Over the years, Xun'er had always been gentle, refined, and well-mannered. Her sudden anger must mean something was wrong.

"Could it be that she already knows we wanted to expel Xiao Bai from the Xiao family, which is why she's angry with us?" the First Elder analyzed thoughtfully.
After all, with Xun'er's extraordinary background, finding out this information quickly would be a piece of cake.
"When we see Xiao Bai later, we must sincerely apologize!"
Xiao Zhan said earnestly, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must show Xiao Bai our sincerity!"
A genius who can easily defeat a Dou Shi must be brought back to the Xiao family no matter what!
Losing such a genius would be a huge loss for the Xiao family!
During their conversation,
the group arrived at the hall of the Mittel Auction House.
Today, the Mittel Auction House was undoubtedly the most bustling it had been in years.
The spacious hall was teeming with people.
The noisy commotion made Xiao Zhan and the others who had just entered feel dizzy, as if a swarm of flies were buzzing around their ears, making them feel irritated.
Looking at the packed hall, Xiao Zhan frowned and shook his head helplessly, wondering, "Why are there so many people at the Mittel Auction House today?"
"They've gathered here, probably just to catch a glimpse of Ya Fei's stunning beauty," the Second Elder explained.
His eyes darted around, seemingly searching for Ya Fei.
"This Ya Fei is incredibly charming!"
Xiao Zhan exclaimed.
He saw many familiar faces in the hall, many prominent figures in Wutan City, all now beaming with delight, their eyes sparkling with spring.
It was clear how terrifying Ya Fei's charm was!
Frustrated, the group approached a maid at the auction house to inquire about Xiao Bai.
"Young Master Xiao Bai is currently in the inner hall talking with Miss Ya Fei and cannot meet with him at the moment," the maid explained.
Ya Fei had already informed them beforehand when she brought Xiao Bai to the Mittel Auction House, so she had politely declined when Xiao Zhan and the others inquired.
Xiao Zhan smiled wryly, "Since that's the case, let's wait here!"
"Very well." The three elders nodded.
They had come to invite Xiao Bai back anyway, so waiting a while wouldn't hurt.
Suddenly.
A richly dressed young man looked at Xiao Zhan and the others in surprise, saying, "I didn't expect this!"
"The Xiao family patriarch and several elders actually came as a group to see Miss Ya Fei. They're truly kindred spirits!"
The newcomer was none other than Jia Lie'ao, who had almost wet himself in fear of Xiao Bai.
He hadn't expected that his composure would recover so quickly in the face of beauty.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The First Elder raised an eyebrow, his old face flushed with anger. This was truly difficult to explain.
After all, at this time, most of the cultivators who came to the Mittel Auction House were indeed there to catch a glimpse of Ya Fei's charm.
And they couldn't reveal that they had come to find Xiao Bai.
"I understand! I understand!"
Jia Lie'ao waved his hand righteously, assuring
them , "I will never tell anyone about the Xiao family's high-ranking members going on a girl-chasing spree."
He turned and embraced a slender young woman, then laughed loudly and left.
However, his voice was unusually loud.
Many cultivators around were drawn to his presence, and several even gave Xiao Zhan and his group a knowing look.
Some even gave him a thumbs up, exclaiming,
"The Xiao family's higher-ups really know how to have fun!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and his group were immediately embarrassed and quickly left the scene, finding a VIP room to stay quietly. Otherwise, if this continued to escalate, by tomorrow, the entire city of Wutan would be buzzing with rumors of the Xiao family's higher-
ups
picking
up girls.
...
On a secluded mountain peak near the Xiao family's residence, beside a cliff.
Ling Ying looked at the heartbroken Xun'er before him, his face instantly turning extremely grim.
He knelt on one knee and pleaded,
"Miss, don't be sad. A scumbag like him doesn't deserve you!"
"I'll go kill him right now! To vent my anger!"
