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

The scent of sandalwood wafted around her ears, and the leaves of the Bodhi tree swayed gently, casting dappled light. The slight jealousy and reproach she had felt earlier had long been soothed by Xiao Ling's gentle and tender words.

Xun'er's slight frown had long since relaxed, replaced by a gentle smile. She softened completely, letting Xiao Ling gently raise his hand and pull her into his warm embrace. Her cheek pressed lightly against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, she felt completely at peace.

Xiao Ling lowered his eyes to look at the gentle appearance of the person in his arms, his fingertips lightly brushing the strands of hair that fell over her shoulder, his movements full of affection. Only when the atmosphere in his arms became increasingly tender and peaceful did he slowly speak, his voice low and gentle, carrying a hint of genuine concern.
"Xun'er, those Grade 9 Golden Pills that I specially refined for you to help your cultivation, you should have been slowly refining and absorbing them by now, right? With your talent and foundation, plus the nourishment of the pills, your cultivation has now broken through to the late stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng. What are your plans next? Are you going into seclusion to break through the Dou Di bottleneck?"

After breaking through to the Dou Di realm, Xiao Ling naturally did not neglect his beloved wives who accompanied him. He prepared ample cultivation resources for them early on to help them steadily improve their cultivation, solidify their foundations as soon as possible, and reach the threshold for breaking through to the Dou Di realm.

For this reason, his wives spent most of their time in seclusion, diligently cultivating themselves with abundant resources, and rarely had any free time.

Only Xun'er, who recently completed a period of secluded cultivation and stabilized her cultivation level, has been able to finally have some free time to stay by Xiao Ling's side.

Xun'er nestled quietly in Xiao Ling's arms, feeling the warm warmth emanating from him. Hearing this, she blinked her clear eyes gently, her voice soft yet steady and resolute, without a trace of impatience.

“Brother Xiao Ling, I’m not in a hurry to go into seclusion for now. Although my cultivation has reached its peak, I think I should take some time to settle down and adjust my condition. After all, breaking through to Dou Di is a major event that cannot be taken lightly. I want to make full preparations to ensure that there will be no mistakes when I break through.”

Having said that, she slightly raised her head, tilting her pretty face up to look at Xiao Ling, a hint of concern flashing in her eyes. Her tone became more serious as she turned to ask about the others.

"Oh right, I've been so busy with my own cultivation that I forgot to ask you how Ziyan is doing. She went into seclusion in the Heavenly Curtain more than a year ago, and it's been so long..."

Xiao Ling lowered his eyes and gently stroked Xun'er's hair. Hearing this, he responded softly, his tone carrying a hint of understanding and helplessness, and slowly said...
"Don't worry, I've been keeping a close eye on Ziyan. Judging from her current cultivation progress, she should be out of seclusion in about six months."

"With her talent, breaking through to the Dou Di realm was a natural progression. In addition, after the Old Dragon Emperor broke through to Dou Di first, the bloodline power that he fed back to her was more than enough. It's just that she's been too impulsive and playful all these years, and hasn't settled down to cultivate seriously. Otherwise, with her foundation, she should have already reached the Dou Di realm, and wouldn't have had to wait until now."

As soon as the words were spoken, two hurried footsteps suddenly came from the stone path outside the courtyard, mixed with the clear and tender shouts of children. The calls of "Mother, Mother" drifted into the room on the breeze, soft and joyful.

Hearing this familiar call, Xiao Ling and Xun'er exchanged a glance, their lips unconsciously curving into gentle smiles, their eyes filled with doting affection.

The two slowly stood up from their seats and walked side by side toward the door.

Looking out through the gauze curtain, two figures could be seen walking quickly toward them. The young Xiao Luo, with her short legs, was skipping and hopping in front, her little face flushed red, calling out to people incessantly, looking charming and adorable.

Xiao Xi'er, with her arms crossed over her chest, followed her younger brother with steady steps, her movements agile, looking more like a little adult.

The door was open, and warm light shone on the stone steps of the courtyard. Xiao Xi'er immediately spotted Xiao Ling standing by the door. Her originally calm face instantly lit up with surprise, and her eyes were full of undisguised joy.

No longer caring about maintaining her mature demeanor, she lightly touched the ground with her feet and nimbly pounced towards Xiao Lingfei, calling out in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy!"

Xiao Ling's eyes crinkled with affection. Seeing this, he quickly stretched out his broad arms and caught his daughter, who was rushing towards him. With a slight pull, he gently spun her around before slowly setting her down. He affectionately stroked her little nose with his fingertips and smiled as he spoke.
"Haha, Daddy's precious Xi'er is getting more and more beautiful. In just one month, she has become even more beautiful and sensible. She is truly my good daughter."

Seeing her sister rush into her father's arms, Xiao Luo's little eyes lit up instantly. Her already eager steps quickened, and she toddled over to Xiao Ling, grabbing his clothes and raising her rosy cheeks to speak in her sweet, childish voice.
"Father, Luo'er misses you too!"

As he spoke, the little guy clenched his fists, looking at Xiao Ling with a serious yet somewhat defiant expression.

"Father, now that you're back, you must quickly teach me powerful fighting techniques! Luo'er must train hard and be sure to defeat my sister."

Looking at her stubborn youngest son in her arms, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle. With her other hand, she scooped up the bouncing Xiao Luo and held him steadily in her other arms, so that the two children were leaning against her on either side.

He gently scratched Xiao Luo's chin with his fingertips, teasing the little guy in his arms, his tone playfully gentle: "Why is it that all you think about in your little head is defeating your sister? You are the little man of the Xiao family. As the younger brother, you should not only not argue with your sister, but also learn to protect her. Why are you so focused on winning against her?"

Xiao Luo was tickled and squirmed a little, but the stubbornness on her face didn't subside at all. Her little mouth was pouting so much it could hold an oil bottle, and she raised her head, huffing and puffing, her soft voice full of aggrieved feelings.

"I don't want to protect her! My sister is always watching over me. She scolds me if I'm even slightly naughty, and she always beats me easily. She never lets me have my way. I don't want to protect her!"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's originally gentle face darkened slightly, and a faint sternness appeared between her brows and eyes.

She walked slowly forward, extended her slender fingers, and gently pinched Xiao Luo's earlobe. She applied a little pressure, her tone neither too soft nor too hard, carrying an undeniable seriousness yet concealing a hint of doting affection.

"Xiao Luo, stop talking nonsense. Your sister disciplines you because she's afraid you'll neglect your cultivation due to playing too much, and even more afraid you'll cause trouble because of your mischievousness. It's because she loves you and cares about you, not because she's giving you unwarranted lessons. As your younger brother, it's one thing to not understand your sister's good intentions, but instead you feel resentful. Such insensitivity deserves punishment."

Xiao Luo was already a little afraid of his mother, and now, with Xun'er pinching his cheek and hearing his mother's stern tone, he instantly wilted. His previous arrogance vanished, his little face scrunched up, and he blinked his eyes pitifully at Xun'er, his voice timid and regretful as he softly begged for forgiveness.
"Mother, please be gentle... Luo'er knows she was wrong. Luo'er will never dare to talk nonsense about her sister again. She won't be angry with her sister anymore. Mother, please don't be angry..."

Seeing her son's instantly submissive and obedient appearance, Xun'er loosened her grip on her fingers, and the sternness on her face faded considerably. She couldn't help but chuckle softly, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Xiao Ling gently tapped Xiao Luo's head with his finger and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, don't bother Daddy with such trivial matters anymore. A real man should be responsible, don't always argue with your sister over such small things." He paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and continued, "By the way, your Uncle Xiao Yan's little girl's birthday is coming up in a few days, right? Have you prepared a gift for her? Doesn't your little one usually love to cling to your sister Xiao Xiao the most?"

Upon hearing the name "Xiao Xiao," Xiao Luo's eyes lit up instantly. He nodded his head vigorously, excitedly saying, "Don't worry, Daddy, I've already prepared a gift for Sister Xiao Xiao. She'll definitely like it!"

Seeing her younger brother's impatient look, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but chuckle and tease him, "Tsk tsk, why are you so concerned about your sister Xiao Xiao? You're practically becoming her little shadow."

Xiao Luo's face flushed red, and she huffed in embarrassment, "That's because Sister Xiao Xiao is always the best to me and takes the best care of me, unlike you, Sister Xi'er, who only knows how to scold me!"

"You bastard, you look like you're asking for a beating again."

When Seele heard her brother say that, she narrowed her eyes, clenched her little fists as if she were being fierce, but her tone was full of teasing.

Xiao Luo subconsciously shrank back, but still gritted her teeth and glared back fiercely, her little face tense, looking like she would never admit defeat.

Watching the siblings bickering and yet being so affectionate every day, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle softly. Xun'er stood to the side, her eyes crinkling as she gently gazed at the two playful little ones.

Bodhi tree leaves sway gently in the breeze, dappling the courtyard with light and shadow. Laughter and cheerful conversation fill the air, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere that makes this little world even more serene and tranquil.

……

As night deepened, a bright moon hung in the sky, its gentle light spilling through the windowpanes and softly into the room. The Bodhi tree leaves drooped quietly in the courtyard, and the sacred pond shimmered with tiny silver lights. The daytime frolics had long since faded, leaving only tranquility and peace.

The room was warm and cozy, with a lingering, languid atmosphere. Xun'er's hair was slightly disheveled, her cheeks still flushed, and she nestled obediently in Xiao Ling's arms, her breath coming in soft gasps, her eyes filled with a languid and alluring charm.

Xiao Ling held the soft, delicate body in his arms tightly, his fingertips gently tracing her smooth, delicate skin. His movements were extremely gentle, filled with the unique pampering and tenderness that came afterward.

Gazing down at Xun'er's gentle face, Xiao Ling remained silent for a moment, then spoke slowly in a low, gentle voice, tinged with reluctance.
"Xun'er, I will be leaving Dou Qi Continent soon to handle some important matters. I will need you to take care of the affairs of Fu Zong and Xiao Jie, as well as the matters concerning Little Fairy Doctor and the others' seclusion. Thank you for your help."

"Where do you want to go? With your current cultivation level, isn't it possible to reach any place on this Dou Qi Continent in an instant?"

Xun'er raised her eyes slightly, a hint of doubt in them, and asked Xiao Ling softly.

Xiao Ling chuckled softly, his fingertips gently stroking her delicate face as he said slowly, "I should have mentioned to you before that there are even more vast and boundless planes beyond the Dou Qi Continent. Along my journey, I have had interactions with other planes and even formed some connections with them. This time, I am not going out within the Dou Qi Continent, but to break through the dimensional barriers and travel to other planes to handle some matters that I must personally attend to."

Xiao Ling mentioned to Xun'er that he wanted to leave the Dou Qi Continent and go to other planes, and his destination was the Tianxuan Plane.

Now, eight years have passed, and his cultivation has been completely solidified and his foundation is deep enough. He finally has enough confidence to temporarily leave the Dou Qi Continent and venture out into the outside world.

After all, he still had an agreement with the spirit of the ancestral stone from his early years, and it was time for him to personally handle many matters on the Tianxuan Continent.

Moreover, the Tianxuan Continent holds many opportunities and fortunes that greatly appeal to Xiao Ling, making it worthwhile for him to personally explore it.

Hearing him say that, Xun'er's languid expression gradually faded, replaced by a hint of worry. She gently clutched Xiao Ling's collar and whispered, "Then...aren't you in danger?"

Even though Xiao Ling is invincible in the Dou Qi Continent, once he steps out of this world and goes to other unknown planes, the balance of power may not be the same as it is now.

Those unfamiliar worlds, unknown powerful figures, and rules made her uneasy, and she couldn't help but worry about him.

Sensing the growing worry in the person in his arms, Xiao Ling tightly grasped Xun'er's slightly cool hand, his palm filled with a reassuring warmth. With a calm and confident smile on his face, he softly comforted her, "Don't worry, Xun'er, don't you trust my abilities? I never do anything without being absolutely certain. You know my style best. I value my life above all else and would never put myself in danger."

Xun'er looked up at the confidence and composure in his eyes. She knew that Xiao Ling always acted carefully and every decision was made after careful consideration. He was never impulsive. She also always trusted his judgment. So she swallowed back any words of dissuasion she could.

She gently squeezed Xiao Ling's hand back, her eyes filled with reluctance and concern, and carefully instructed him, "Brother Xiao Ling, I know you have your own plans, and I believe in your abilities. You must be careful in everything you do while you are away, and take good care of yourself. I will take good care of the affairs of Xiao Jie and the family, as well as the seclusion of the sisters, so you don't need to worry. But before you leave, you should still go and tell my father, so that he can rest assured."

Xiao Ling nodded gently upon hearing this, his tone both gentle and solemn: "Alright, I've got it. I'll visit my father-in-law tomorrow and explain this to him personally."

After saying that, he raised his hand and gently brushed away the worry between Xun'er's eyebrows and eyes, and said softly, "It's getting late, let's not think about these things anymore, let's get some rest."

Xun'er softly hummed in agreement, nestled back into Xiao Ling's arms, and, bathed in the moonlight, gradually drifted off to sleep, the room returning to tranquility... (End of Chapter)
