People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Time flies, and eight years have passed since Xiao Ling achieved the position of Dou Di in the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave and destroyed the Soul Clan, which had plagued the continent for thousands of years.

Eight years have passed silently, sweeping across every inch of the Dou Qi Continent. The smoke and resentment that once permeated the air due to the Soul Clan's conspiracy have long been washed away by time. The entire world has shed its former tension and desolation, and is now bursting with unprecedented vitality.

In particular, the Central Plains, located at the heart of the continent, has ushered in a golden age of peace and prosperity that is rarely seen in history. Everywhere is thriving and prosperous, and the chaos of numerous sects and endless disputes of the past is gone.

With the Soul Clan no longer stirring up trouble and causing bloodshed in the shadows, the various forces on the continent have completely put aside their past grudges and estrangements. The once hostile sects, who were at each other's throats, can now sit down and discuss matters calmly. The friction and fighting caused by resources and territory have long since turned into dust in history and are no longer mentioned by anyone.

With the mountains and rivers safe and sound, and all living beings at peace, eight years have allowed the Dou Qi Continent to completely shake off the darkness and enter an unprecedented golden age.

All this peace and prosperity stemmed from the emergence of the newly crowned Dou Di, Xiao Ling. With his unparalleled cultivation, he suppressed the entire continent and protected countless living beings with his benevolent heart, allowing this world, which had endured so many hardships, to finally usher in a moment of true tranquility.

As the mainland entered a prosperous and peaceful era, free from strife and turmoil, Xiao Ling reserved more tenderness for his close female companions.

During this peaceful period, he did not hold any grand weddings. Instead, he chose quiet times to hold low-key weddings for each of the women he loved.

Besides spending time with his beloved, Xiao Ling did not waste his time. Instead, he opened up a brand new path of cultivation for the Dou Qi Continent.

Leveraging his supreme prestige and world-shaking reputation as the Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Ling chose a beautiful and spiritually rich place in the heart of the Central Plains and officially founded a brand-new force, the Talisman Sect.

Moreover, Xiao Ling distributed all the basic mental energy cultivation methods he had compiled to the Dou Qi Continent without reservation. Whether they were disciples of major sects in the Central Plains or ordinary rogue cultivators in remote areas, they could all find these techniques to practice.

This move completely broke the shackles of previous cultivation methods, giving countless people who lacked talent in battle qi cultivation but were gifted in spiritual power a new direction for cultivation. The path of spiritual power has since become popular on the continent, and the overall cultivation foundation of alchemists and warriors has also been greatly improved.

With his own strength, Xiao Ling opened up a talismanic path unprecedented in history and spread the Dharma that benefits all living beings. His actions can be described as immeasurable merit.

All living beings on the entire Dou Qi Continent, grateful for his benevolence, held the Ling Tian Emperor in even higher esteem and reverence. He not only quelled the chaos with his martial prowess but also bestowed blessings upon all living beings with the Great Dao, leaving a significant mark on the future development of the Dou Qi Continent.

Since Emperor Lingtian Xiao Ling emerged out of nowhere and broke the shackles of the Dou Qi Continent's ten thousand years of silence without an emperor, this world, which had been troubled by the depletion of source energy for countless ages, seemed to have ushered in a long-awaited revival of fortune.

The old dragon emperor Zhu Kun of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, and Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu Clan, have all broken through to the Dou Di realm in the past few years.

Thus, in just ten years, four Dou Di were born on the Dou Qi Continent: Emperor Ling Tian Xiao Ling, Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan, Gu Yuan of the Ancient Clan, and Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun.

It must be understood that in the past ten thousand years, it had been difficult to find even a single Dou Di on this continent. The Emperor Realm had long been an unattainable legend. But now, four peerless powerhouses stood in the same era. Such a grand occasion was unprecedented since the creation of the Dou Qi Continent, instantly shaking the entire world.

The arrival of four emperors swept across every corner of the Dou Qi Continent, igniting the passion for cultivation in the hearts of countless cultivators and setting off an unprecedented nationwide cultivation frenzy.

In the past, everyone thought that the Dou Di was an unattainable myth, and even the top experts gradually lost the will to climb. But now, the four Dou Di have truly appeared in the world, giving everyone hope of breaking through the realm and reaching the top. Their yearning for higher cultivation has been completely ignited, and their dedication and enthusiasm for cultivation have reached an unprecedented height.

As the core of the continent, Zhongzhou is radiating unprecedented vitality.

The streets and alleys were filled with cultivators who were dedicated to their practice. Within the sects, the sounds of exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao were endless. Alchemists, talisman masters, and warriors each cultivated their own path, exchanging ideas and making progress together.

Major powers opened their gates wide, absorbing talented disciples. They no longer focused on fighting for territory and resources, but instead devoted themselves to cultivating the next generation and pursuing breakthroughs in cultivation. Merchant caravans became increasingly prosperous, and rare and precious materials, cultivation techniques, and elixirs circulated freely. Cultivators from remote areas also flocked to Zhongzhou in search of cultivation opportunities.

The entire continent was free from the shadow of strife, everyone was devoted to the Dao, cultivation flourished, and everywhere was a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

With the four Dou Di (Battle Emperors) presiding over the continent and protecting all living beings, this land, which had endured countless hardships, entered a golden age that was rarely seen throughout history, becoming the most glorious golden age of the Dou Qi Continent.

……

Deep within the Xiao Clan's Xiao Realm, in the most core forbidden area, lies a hidden little world that is its own independent universe. This is the place where Emperor Lingtian, Xiao Ling, secluded himself for cultivation and resided. Even ordinary clansmen of noble status find it difficult to set foot here.

Upon entering this small world, the first thing you feel is the rich, almost liquid, spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which lingers around you. Taking a deep breath, you feel refreshed and your cultivation even shows signs of improvement. This kind of rich spiritual energy is more than a hundred times better than any spiritual vein holy land outside.

Above the sky, the sunlight is gentle yet not scorching, and the drifting clouds glow with a faint luster, as if imbued with a rich vitality, possessing a touch of ethereal holiness. There are no storms or torrential rains outside, and the temperature remains constant like spring all year round, as if time itself has slowed down here.

On the ground, rare herbs and flowers grow everywhere. The ninth-grade spiritual herbs, thousand-year-old vermilion fruits, and ten-thousand-year-old snow lotuses, which are rarely seen in the outside world, can be seen everywhere here. They grow freely on the grass and jade roadside, and grow lush and verdant without any deliberate cultivation.

The streams flowing through the forest are not ordinary streams, but spiritual liquid containing pure energy. They tinkle and splash, and the water droplets that fall to the ground can give rise to patches of spiritual plants.

Several ancient spiritual trees took root around the dwelling, their trunks towering and their branches and leaves as lush as canopies. Fallen petals were scattered beneath the trees, each petal a wondrous flower imbued with spiritual energy, dancing lightly in the wind, their fragrance spreading for miles.

In the center of this small world sits a simple and elegant courtyard. It has no luxurious carved beams and painted rafters, nor any ostentatious gold and jade. It is built with millennia-old warm jade as its foundation and ancient spiritual wood as its beams.

Surrounding the Imperial Garden is a shallow spiritual pond, in which grow a few of the world's only remaining nine-grade lotus platforms. The lotus leaves are unfurled, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the pond is teeming with pure white spiritual fish, all of which are rare spiritual creatures in the world.

In this courtyard brimming with spiritual charm, the most captivating and truly exquisite feature is the majestic, verdant Bodhi tree standing tall in the very center of the courtyard. The Bodhi tree has quietly taken root here, its trunk so thick that it would take dozens of people to encircle it. Its bark gleams with a warm, jade-like luster, its veins winding like dragons.

The branches spread out freely, their canopy blocking out the sun. The layers upon layers of lush green leaves are incredibly abundant, each one glistening and full, radiating vibrant life. Even without wind, they sway gently, scattering dappled green light.

The ancient tree was always surrounded by a faint, hazy halo, gentle and refreshing, exuding a refreshing fragrance that slowly enveloped the entire courtyard and even spread to every corner of the small world.

This aura is extremely pure, without a trace of hostility. Taking a deep breath, a cool sensation flows through the mouth and nose into the limbs and bones, cleansing the body of impurities and calming the mind. Even if there are many distracting thoughts and worries in the mind, they will instantly disappear under the influence of this aura, and the mind will become clear and peaceful.

Standing under the tree, one feels completely refreshed, as if the soul is nourished by the fresh air, becoming more ethereal, and time seems to slow down around you.

It quietly takes root here, complementing the Lingchi Lotus Terrace and the Nuanyu Imperial Garden. It is not only a peerless wonder in the courtyard, but also the spiritual core of this small world, pushing the tranquil and gentle atmosphere to the extreme, so that those who are in it feel that the years are peaceful and there is no more trouble.

"Hehehe, sister, take this!"

The clear, childlike sounds of laughter suddenly broke the tranquility around the ancient Bodhi tree, accompanied by the crisp clinking of wooden swords against each other, echoing leisurely among the branches and leaves.

Beneath the lush canopy of the Bodhi tree, sunlight filters through layers of green leaves, casting dappled golden light onto two playful figures.

I saw a child of about five or six years old, with a cute bun hairstyle, holding a small peach wood sword in his hand. His little face was flushed, and he was swinging it wildly with all his might. His steps were unsteady but full of determination. Every move he made had the unique clumsiness of a child. He kept shouting out the moves. He looked extremely cute.

Standing opposite the young child was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, whose figure was already beginning to show signs of slenderness, making her a striking sight in her own right.

She was dressed in a sharp, bright red outfit with a very short skirt adorned with delicate, matching tassels. Her movements were swift and graceful. A wide red belt cinched her waist, accentuating her slender figure. Her long legs were encased in matching leggings, and she wore soft-soled cloud-patterned boots. She looked both agile and dashing, completely devoid of the delicate and coy demeanor of an ordinary young lady.

The girl had long, glossy black hair, which she had not styled into a complicated bun, but rather loosely tied into a half-bun, with the rest of her hair falling over her shoulders and gently swaying in the wind, making her skin appear even whiter and more like jade.

Her facial features were soft and smooth, with a gentle oval face and a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, giving her an innate charm, yet there was also a hint of casual laziness in her eyes, as if she didn't care about the frolicking in front of her, but it also revealed a nonchalant liveliness.

Facing the wooden sword swung by the child, she always held an identical peach wood sword in one hand, her steps leisurely and her movements light and agile. She could easily deflect the child's attacks with a casual flick of her wrist. Her eyes were filled with a faint smile, lazy and gentle, letting the child play as she pleased without any effort.

A moment later, when the girl casually swung her sword with a touch of gentle force, she sent the small figure in front of her staggering backward.

Then she gently raised her hand, slowly placing the hilt of the wooden sword against the child's forehead, tapping it lightly. A lazy smile appeared at the corner of her eye, and her voice was clear and melodious with a touch of casualness:
"Alright, Xiao Luo'er, that's enough. Your sister Xi'er still has cultivation to do today. If we delay any longer, that old man Yao will go to my mother and nag me about my faults again."

The little guy slapped away the sword hilt that was pressed against his forehead, pouting and saying angrily, "Damn it! Brother Chen'er clearly said that I could beat my sister if I learned this move, but he lied to me again! I'm going to tell Mother and teach him a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy, who had been leisurely resting curled up on a thick, gnarled root of the ancient Bodhi tree, suddenly stiffened, instinctively shrank his neck, and inwardly groaned.

This little one really can't stand the slightest loss. But it's just a small matter; hopefully, Xun'er's mother won't really blame her...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the courtyard, a barely perceptible ripple spread through the space.

A tall and slender man stepped out slowly, without any trace of fighting spirit emanating from his body, just like an ordinary person without any strength.

Yet, this seemingly ordinary existence, the moment it appeared, exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure, as if it were above heaven and earth, as if it were a deep and imposing mountain. The surrounding spiritual energy, wind, and fallen petals unconsciously swirled around it, and even the branches and leaves of the ancient Bodhi tree seemed to bow slightly in its direction.

Xiao Ling slightly raised his hand, smoothing the slightly messy folds on his robes. His imposing and dignified demeanor became even more gentle, and a faint, gentle smile played on his lips as he gently pushed open the wooden door in front of him.

The wooden door slowly opened, revealing a quiet and elegant interior, filled with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood.

A slender and graceful figure sat quietly on a wooden chair, her back to the door. A plain long dress draped over her shoulders, making her figure even more elegant. She held a book in her hands, her fingertips slowly turning the pages. Her movements were gentle and soothing, and she exuded an elegant and refined air, untouched by worldly affairs. Her eyes and brows were filled with a gentle and serene charm, like a secluded orchid in a valley, quiet and moving.

Hearing the soft sound of the door opening, the gentle figure slowly turned around.

In an instant, the fragrance that filled the room seemed to dim.

Her skin was as white and smooth as jade, like the first snowflakes on cream. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, with naturally arched willow brows. Her eyes were clear as a stream, yet they held a gentle tenderness. Her gaze was pure and gentle, yet she possessed a more mature and dignified air than she had eight years ago, and had lost some of the naivety of a young girl.

With her delicate nose and naturally red lips, her beauty is stunning yet understated, pure and ethereal, with a gentle and graceful temperament like spring water. Even after years of experience, the purity, gentleness, elegance, and serenity that emanate from her very being remain unchanged. On the contrary, nurtured by time, she has gained even more composure and gentle charm, and a single glance from her can warm one's heart.

"Hehe, you've been in the Northwest Continent for so long, and you're finally back. It seems you've been having a pretty good time over there."

Her voice was soft and gentle, revealing neither joy nor anger, yet each word was clear, "Yunyun, Consort Ya... Oh right, and I suppose there's also that young lady from the Nalan family... the two princesses of the royal family..."

But the faint smile that graced her stunningly beautiful face, and the words she uttered, caused Xiao Ling to pause slightly, a subtle sense of crisis creeping into his heart. (End of Chapter)
