Chapter 7 The lion opens its mouth

Elder Ge Ye said with some helplessness, "Clan Chief Xiao, I know this is a bit unreasonable, but please, for the sake of the Sect Master, dissolve the engagement!"

"Kakaka..."

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, his fighting spirit surging within his body. The pale blue fighting spirit covered his entire body, vaguely condensing into a phantom lion's head at his head.

Upon seeing this, Elder Ge Ye's expression also turned solemn. He shielded Nalan Yanran behind him, his hands slightly bent like eagle claws, with faint, sharp sword energy emanating from his fingertips.

"You can call off the engagement!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to make a move, a gentle and refined voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

The speaker was none other than the male protagonist in the annulment of the engagement, but Xiao Feng did not show any excessive anger; instead, he appeared remarkably calm.

Don't be angry!

Anger will only cloud your judgment, giving your enemy an opportunity to take advantage!

"Feng'er, you..."

Before Xiao Zhan could finish speaking, Xiao Feng interrupted him: "Father, I've always felt that arranged marriages are unreliable."

Back when my grandfather was still alive, our Xiao family had a Dou Wang level expert, so we were considered a good match for the Nalan family. My engagement with Miss Nalan was therefore quite reasonable.

But since my grandfather passed away, our Xiao family has declined, so it's normal for the Nalan family to want to break the contract.

Moreover, Miss Nalan is currently the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and she will at least be able to break through to the Dou Huang realm in the future. Her husband should at least be a Dou Huang, or even a Dou Zong level expert, right?

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Nalan Yanran's face immediately turned pale, alternating between red and green.

Although Xiao Feng seemed to be speaking up for him, his words implied only one thing: the Nalan family was materialistic and snobbish.

“Miss Nalan, I understand your thoughts, and I also believe in the concept of free love.”

Xiao Feng ignored Nalan Yanran's unpleasant expression and instead said with a troubled look, "However, the engagement between you and me was arranged by my grandfather and Old Master Nalan Jie. Even if we really want to break off the engagement, Old Master Nalan Jie should come to our Xiao family in person to cancel the engagement, right?"

"After all, Old Master Nalan Jie and my grandfather were sworn brothers back in the day. They can't possibly deny the Xiao family even this much face, can they?"

"you……"

Sensing the sarcasm in Xiao Feng's tone, Nalan Yanran was momentarily speechless with anger and couldn't help but retort in a fit of desperation, "Xiao Feng, don't try to drag my grandfather into this. This matter has nothing to do with my grandfather. I came to the Xiao family to annul the engagement on my own initiative."

It's not that I look down on your Xiao family; I just don't want to marry someone I don't even know because of some arranged marriage!

"I see! Since Elder Nalan Jie was unaware of this matter, then Miss Nalan is not here on behalf of the Nalan family to annul the engagement, but rather as the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Feng nodded knowingly, then changed the subject and said, "Then it's simple. We just need to settle the compensation, and then we can happily dissolve the engagement."

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a bit contempt for him.

In the end, Xiao Feng was just a vulgar man who wanted to climb the social ladder, and she would never marry such a person!

"That's only right."

As soon as Elder Ge Ye finished speaking, he raised his right hand and waved it, and two jade bottles appeared on the table in front of him.

Amidst the puzzled and curious gazes of the crowd, Elder Ge Ye proudly introduced, "These two pill bottles contain a Qi Gathering Powder and a Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, respectively. As long as the Xiao family is willing to dissolve the engagement, these two pills will belong to the Xiao family."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the three elders' expressions changed slightly, revealing a somewhat conflicted look.

Both the Qi Gathering Powder and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill are fourth-grade pills, each worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Among them, the Qi Gathering Powder can enable those who have reached the ninth level of Dou Qi to break through to the Dou Zhe level with 100% success rate, making it very suitable for outstanding disciples of the Xiao family to take.

The Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill is a peak fourth-grade pill that can increase the strength of a Great Dou Master by one star without creating much resistance.

In other words, if a Grand Master can collect two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills, he can steadily increase his strength by two stars.

Currently, Xiao Zhan is the only Great Dou Master in the Xiao family, so this Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill was specially prepared for him.

"Hahaha……"

Just when Nalan Yanran thought victory was assured, Xiao Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, a sudden sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

"Ah!"

Xiao Feng scoffed, "Is the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect only worth this little money?"

"you……"

Did I say something wrong?

Xiao Feng interrupted Nalan Yanran and asked Elder Ge Ye, "Elder Ge Ye, you just said that Sect Master Yun values ​​Miss Nalan highly and even intends to groom her to be the next sect master."

In other words, if I do not agree to dissolve the engagement, I will not only be able to marry a Dou Huang powerhouse, but also become the powerful and influential sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Honestly, if you were in my shoes, would you agree to annul this engagement for a mere two fourth-grade pills?

"Uh……"

Elder Ge Ye was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

nonsense!

If Elder Ge Ye were Xiao Feng, he would never agree to annul the engagement unless he had lost his mind!

Looking at Xiao Feng's insatiable appearance, Nalan Yanran felt even more disgusted with him. Suppressing her anger, she asked, "Then what kind of compensation do you want?"

"The compensation I want is very simple. All you need is for us to give the Xiao family two high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques, five high-level Xuan-rank fighting skills, and enough cultivation resources for my father to cultivate to the level of Dou Wang. Then I can agree to dissolve the engagement right now."

"You...you're shameless!!!"

Nalan Yanran was so angry that she almost exploded, her small chest heaving.

Listen to this, everyone, is this guy even speaking human language?

Not to mention Nalan Yanran, even Xiao Zhan and the others showed somewhat speechless expressions. Xiao Feng's outrageous demands were simply too frightening.

However, on the other hand, if Yunlan Sect could really agree to such outrageous conditions, Xiao Zhan and the others wouldn't mind letting Xiao Feng break off his engagement with Nalan Yanran.

In the Dou Qi Continent, it is a very shameful thing for a man to have his engagement broken off by a woman at his home. However, as long as the compensation for breaking off the engagement is sufficient, outsiders will not think that the Xiao family has lost face. On the contrary, they will feel that they have made a great deal.

Chapter 8 Don’t hit someone in the face

"Miss Nalan, why are you angry? Business may end, but goodwill remains."

Looking at Nalan Yanran's expression, which seemed to want to bite someone, Xiao Feng shrugged helplessly and said, "You won't let Old Master Nalan Jie come to annul the engagement, and you're unwilling to give any more compensation. You can't expect to get something for nothing, can you?"

"Pfft!"

A somewhat abrupt laugh suddenly came from a corner of the reception hall.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Xiao Xun'er put on an innocent expression, pretending to be nonchalant as she raised the book to cover her barely suppressed smile.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran first glared at Xiao Xun'er in annoyance, and then suppressed the urge to bite her, saying, "Xiao Feng, do you think that by proposing these excessive compensation conditions, you can make me back down? This will only make me look down on you even more. Don't you think you're being childish?"

"Fine! Since you won't accept either of these two methods, then we'll have to settle things with strength."

Xiao Feng sighed helplessly and looked directly into Nalan Yanran's bright eyes, saying, "If you can defeat me, I will agree to break off our engagement!"

"really?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran almost thought she had misheard.

Yesterday, after Nalan Yanran and her group entered Wutan City, Elder Ge Ye specially sent someone to inquire about the Xiao family, including the news that Xiao Feng had broken through to the first star Dou Zhe level.

Although Xiao Feng's talent for cultivation is already quite good, there is still a gap compared to Nalan Yanran.

With Nalan Yanran's cultivation level as a three-star Dou Zhe, she could have already surpassed Xiao Feng in terms of cultivation.

Moreover, the techniques and fighting skills she cultivates are far more powerful than those Xiao Feng cultivates. How could Xiao Feng possibly be her opponent?

That's why Nalan Yanran doubted that she had heard correctly; she didn't believe Xiao Feng would propose such a losing bet.

"I, Xiao Feng, am a man of my word. If you can defeat me, I will agree to dissolve our engagement."

Xiao Feng suddenly changed the subject halfway through his sentence, saying, "However, if you lose, in addition to the marriage agreement remaining unchanged, you must also leave these two pills as an apology to the Xiao family."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Nalan Yanran agreed without hesitation, having absolute confidence in her abilities.

If she were still no match for Xiao Feng even though her cultivation, techniques, and fighting skills surpassed his, then she would have no face to bring up the matter of annuling the engagement again.

"Then let's go outside and fight!"

Xiao Feng gestured to Nalan Yanran, then said with a hint of sarcasm, "The living room is too small. I'm afraid you'll make excuses if you lose."

"you……"

Nalan Yanran snorted coldly and said, "I'm going to tear that stinking mouth of yours apart later!"

Seeing that Xiao Feng and Nalan Yanran had both walked out, Xiao Zhan and the others quickly followed.

"bass!"

With a wave of her hand, Nalan Yanran conjured a pale blue longsword into her palm.

"Xiao Feng, to be honest, your talent for cultivation is not much weaker than mine, but unfortunately the Xiao family is too small. You will undoubtedly lose this battle!"

Nalan Yanran gripped the sword hilt tightly, her fair chin slightly raised, like a proud swan.

"Nalan Yanran, you talk too much nonsense!"

Xiao Feng suddenly roared and exerted force with his feet, charging head-on towards Nalan Yanran like a raging bull.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes flashed with disdain, and her long sword swiftly pierced towards Xiao Feng's neck.

Because Nalan Yanran also cultivated wind-attribute techniques, and both her techniques and combat skills reached the advanced Xuan rank, her speed was faster than Xiao Feng's.

I won this battle!

Just as the sword in Nalan Yanran's hand was about to pierce Xiao Feng's neck first, he suddenly raised his left arm.
