The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

"Hmm." Han Yue nodded, squatted down, helped Xiao Ziyan up, and opened her mouth. Xiao Xuanyuan poured out a perfectly round pill. As soon as it appeared, it emitted a rich medicinal fragrance. Han Yue's little nose twitched, and she couldn't help but take a few breaths. Instantly, she felt comfortable and refreshed, and couldn't help but praise, "What a good pill!"

"Of course!" Xiao Xuanyuan picked up the pill and fed it into Xiao Ziyan's mouth. The fifth-grade Taixu Replenishing Spirit True Pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth and entered Xiao Ziyan's body.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ziyan woke up and opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Xuanyuan's kind and friendly smile. She immediately jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Strange Uncle, where are you going!"

---Aside---

Our little beauty, Ziyan, is here!

Chapter Seventeen: Why are you so much colder towards me than you were a year ago?

Despite saying that, Xiao Ziyan immediately hid behind Han Yue like a mouse seeing a cat, seemingly very afraid of Xiao Xuanyuan.

Seeing Xiao Ziyan's appearance, Xiao Xuanyuan continued to wear the kind and gentle smile that befits a good person. "Little one, come here and let Uncle give you a hug. Uncle will give you a lollipop!" As if by magic, Xiao Xuanyuan took out a lollipop and it appeared in his hand.

This Dou Qi Continent is still the same Dou Qi Continent, with some snacks and trinkets available. However, it's normal that people can't be perfect and might miss some things.

As fighting spirit reached its peak, snacks and desserts also almost reached their peak!

"I don't want that, I just want Want Want Shaved Ice!"

"What's so good about that? Be careful not to get tooth problems from eating it." Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head.

"What is a diseased tooth?" Little Ziyan couldn't help but ask curiously, blinking her big, dark eyes at Xiao Xuanyuan.

"It's like little worms growing in your teeth, crawling around in your mouth." Xiao Xuanyuan continued to use his mischievous uncle skills to bewitch Xiao Ziyan.

"I'm not afraid. I can just shut up and bite them to death, hmph." Little Ziyan looked disdainful and proudly raised her little head.

"But cavities will steal your food! They'll secretly eat the delicious things you've already put in your mouth." Xiao Xuanyuan exaggerated as he spoke, waving his hands and making gestures with great interest.

"That's so scary! Ziyan doesn't want cavities! Ziyan doesn't want cavities!" For a moment, little Ziyan clung to Han Yue beside her, crying in panic. Han Yue giggled, unable to resist giving Xiao Xuanyuan a sidelong glance and chuckling, "Don't scare Senior Sister Ziyan. Look how scared you are, you're almost crying, hehe."

Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes. "I didn't scare her. I was just telling the truth."

"Hehe, I can't stand you anymore, hehe!" Han Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter.

Seeing Han Yue smiling, and Xiao Xuanyuan also looking at her with a smile in his eyes, Xiao Ziyan blinked her big eyes, scratched her head, and pretended to think, "Bad uncle, big sister, what are you laughing at? Is Ziyan that funny?"

Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and waved to her, then smiled and asked, "Little one, what's your name?"

"My name is Zi Yan, Zi from Zi Yan, Yan from Zi Yan." Little Zi Yan revealed her cute little tiger teeth, blinked her big eyes, and looked innocent and romantic.

Xiao Xuanyuan was taken aback, then extended his palm. "My name is Xiao Xuanyuan, Xiao as in Xiao Xuanyuan, Xuan as in Xiao Xuanyuan, and Yuan as in Xiao Xuanyuan!"

"Giggle, I'm dying of laughter! You two are such a jerk, you're really hilarious! Giggle, you're so funny!" Han Yue pressed her stomach, laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down her face.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan and Zi Yan asked almost simultaneously, "What are you laughing at?! Is it that funny?! Pfft!"

Then they looked at each other, staring at each other, wide-eyed, and almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Why are you copying me?!"

Fifteen minutes later, on the sixth floor.

"Junior Brother Xiao, look what mess you've made! You've turned this place into a complete mess. As an elder, you should act like one. Look at you, not only did you severely injure and cripple an inner court student, but you also injured Xiao Ziyan, who's ranked number one on the strength list. Xiao Ziyan is just a little girl, a minor! How can you bully people like this? What kind of skill is it to bully a minor?"

"Look at this, look at this! You've practically destroyed all six training rooms. Do you still want to tear down our inner courtyard and the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower? What kind of mess are you making of yourself?"

"Many top-ranked students are now complaining about you, saying that you are seducing female students, have a corrupt teaching style, bully the weak, and abuse your power. What do you have to say about that?"

Beside him, an old man with half-white hair, a serious face, and an unsmiling demeanor kept scolding him. Xiao Xuanyuan was almost numb, listening to the other man's rambling. At this time, some students on the strong ranking list had not yet left and were watching Xiao Xuanyuan make a fool of himself.

"Alright, alright, Elder Zhongsun, that's enough, enough already."

Beside the half-white-haired Elder Zhongsun stood a young woman of unparalleled beauty and captivating charm. She wore a light blue robe, had a slender figure, exquisitely beautiful face, skin as smooth as jade, and delicate features. Her long, flowing black hair, reaching her waist, was tightly bound at her waist with a ribbon, swaying gracefully, giving her a clean and neat yet ethereal air.

This woman was Ye Qingmei, whom Xiao Xuanyuan hadn't seen for over a year. A year ago, she accidentally got separated from her companion in the Black Corner Region and was surrounded by several enemies. She was injured and fled, but was later ambushed and nearly killed by the Poison Old Monster. Fortunately, Xiao Xuanyuan saved her, allowing her to escape his clutches and return to the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy.

A year had passed, and the woman had grown even more beautiful and charming. With every stern look and smile, she seemed like a fairy descended to earth, captivating the hearts of the men around her.

In fact, her true identity is the Third Elder of the Inner Court, whose real name is Ye Ningyan. She is responsible for guarding the sixth floor of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower in turns with Elder Zhongsun.

"I said, Junior Brother Xiao, you should understand what I'm saying, right?" Seeing his partner speak, Elder Zhongsun stopped talking, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, which was feeling parched.

"Yes, I understand what you mean. Okay, take the sixth-grade pills you want to refine to the director's office in the Alchemist Service Hall in the next two days. I will try my best to make them for you during this time." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and agreed.

"Hehe, it's so refreshing to talk to a smart guy like Brother Xiao," Elder Zhongsun patted Xiao Xuanyuan's shoulder, his wrinkled old face beaming like a chrysanthemum. "Alright, I'll get back to work now, Brother Xiao. Feel free to wander around. We old folks in the inner courtyard will take care of everything."

Seeing the old man leave with a smile, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but purse his lips. This inner courtyard of the academy was really something. Ever since he came to the inner courtyard from the Alchemy Valley, Xiao Xuanyuan had been constantly visited by these inner courtyard elders. Today it was Elder Zhongsun, tomorrow it was Elder Li, and the day after it was Elder Wang. They came to ask him to refine medicine every day. It was so annoying.

"Alright, that's how I've resolved things for you. I was hoping I could be of some help," Ye Ningyan said with a beaming smile.

"By the way, how are Natasha and the others doing now?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked noncommittally.

"It's alright, everything's fine. But take a good look at me. Why are you so much colder towards me than you were a year ago?" Ye Ningyan reached out and grabbed Xiao Xuanyuan's head, turning him around to face him, eye to eye, staring straight at him.

---Aside---

How should Xiao Xuanyuan accept Ye Ningyan's love?

Chapter 18 Do you really hate your brother?

Looking into those bright, beautiful eyes, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't know what to say for a moment. He remained silent, completely silent, and didn't speak.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

"Indeed, time is the bridge that washes away everything. After a year apart, we will still be strangers!" Ye Ningyan gave a faint, bitter laugh, released Xiao Xuanyuan, and turned to leave on her own.

Looking at her lonely and forlorn figure, Xiao Xuanyuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but for a moment he couldn't say anything. Was it really as she said, that time had passed and they were now strangers when they met again? Xiao Xuanyuan didn't know.

"Natasha and the others are waiting for you at my place. Come over when you have time; they've been looking forward to seeing you for so long." Ye Ningyan said this before leaving.

"Waiting for me? Natasha, Little Fairy Doctor, Princess Yaoye, Xiaoyue, are they all here?" He murmured to himself, then suddenly felt a headache coming on. With so many women around, what should he do? Not to mention these women, there were also Xun'er and the others in the inner courtyard!

At this moment, Han Yue left with Xiao Ziyan, her eyes looking at Xiao Xuanyuan with a strange and complicated expression. "Little brother Xiao Xuanyuan, was that Elder Ye just now?"

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded with some pain.

"So what's your relationship with her? You two seemed really close just now!" Han Yue continued to press, unaware that her voice carried a hint of jealousy and competitiveness.

Xiao Xuanyuan raised his head, looked at him with some doubt, but still replied, "It's nothing, just a good friend, someone I've been through thick and thin with."

"Bad uncle, that aunt seems to really like you," Xiao Ziyan said, her big eyes blinking, looking adorably innocent.

Xiao Xuanyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Finally, his expression turned fierce. He squatted down, reached out and grabbed Xiao Ziyan's delicate pink face. "Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters, or this bad uncle will sell you to someone else as their daughter."

"Waaaaah, I don't want to!" Little Ziyan hid behind Han Yue in fear, shouting, "Big bad guy, bad uncle, bad uncle is a big bad guy." This immediately made Xiao Xuanyuan and Han Yue laugh. This little girl was probably traumatized by Xiao Xuanyuan's punch and was now particularly afraid of him.

With the arrival of Xiao Ziyan, this funny and adorable little cutie, the atmosphere improved considerably.

"The sixth-floor training room will need a day to be repaired. Let's go up first."

"Ah."

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was about to leave with Han Yue, the entire Heavenly Flame Refining Tower suddenly shook violently, as if it had been hit by a huge impact. At the same time, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a strong aura break through the cage and roar towards him.

This is the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame!

Xiao Xuanyuan's expression changed several times. There is a mutual connection between different strange flames. Even though the Fallen Heart Flame is now sealed layer by layer by the inner elder with the power of the spatial mirror and locked under the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, it still cannot completely isolate this mutual connection. Moreover, Xiao Xuanyuan has several different strange flames on his body, so this connection is becoming even stronger.

Is the Fallen Heart Flame colliding with the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower?!

"Disciple, it seems that the Fallen Heart Flame has already erupted. It will definitely generate a violent energy surge within a month or two, or at the shortest, about half a month. At that time, your opportunity may come!" At this moment, the old doctor's voice was transmitted to Xiao Xuanyuan's mind through a secret soul technique.

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, "I'll need your help, Elder Yao, then."

"Brother Xuanyuan, I think I just heard the voice of a fellow fire spirit." A voice appeared in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind again. Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan was slightly taken aback and asked in his mind, "It should be the fire spirit of the Fallen Heart Flame, a strange fire. Only those of the same kind among strange fires can understand each other's language. What did it say to you?"

It asked if I could do it for it.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Xuanyuan, along with Daphne, Han Yue, and Xiao Ziyan, returned to the ground. Upon learning that Xiao Xuanyuan was a sixth-grade high-level alchemist, Xiao Ziyan was very happy and said that she would ask him for help when they parted.

Xiao Xuanyuan asked her a question, but she wouldn't answer. She just blinked her big eyes, keeping it a mystery to Xiao Xuanyuan, saying that he would find out later. Xiao Xuanyuan was speechless for a moment, then gave her a hard knock on the head, making the little girl look aggrieved, her eyes red, and she almost cried on the spot.

Finally, amidst Han Yue's complaints and words of comfort, Xiao Xuanyuan could only say some nice things to coax the little one, and then promise to buy her an endless supply of Xizhilang jelly and Want Want ice pops. Only then did Xiao Ziyan stop crying and start laughing, and she skipped away happily. Xiao Xuanyuan was speechless. Children will be children, they just love to eat snacks.

Because this world values ​​martial prowess, although the snack industry has reached its peak, it is still limited. Especially for some exquisite snacks, production, transportation, and preservation are quite difficult, so prices remain high and expensive. Brands like Xizhilang and Want Want Ice Cream are frozen foods that require long-term freezing.

Since ice blocks from the far north of the Dou Qi Continent were difficult to transport, ice-type cultivators were hired to preserve them for a long time. After all, this world did not have products like plastic, so they used a special plant that produced transparent products as thin and fine as silk, yet extremely healthy and environmentally friendly.

In the inner courtyard, a piece of Xizhilang jelly requires ten points of fire energy, and a piece of Want Want shaved ice also requires five points of fire energy. Normally, the fire energy distributed to Xiao Ziyan each month in the inner courtyard is barely enough for her to cultivate in training room number one on the sixth floor. There is no extra fire energy for her to squander, and Xiao Ziyan is not good at earning fire energy for living expenses.

To satisfy her cravings, she could only afford to buy one or two pieces a month. Now that Xiao Xuanyuan promised to buy her an endless supply of Xizhilang jelly and Want Want popsicles, she was overjoyed.

Watching Xiao Ziyan leave happily, Xiao Xuanyuan then said goodbye to Han Yue and took Daphne to a deserted grove of trees in a secluded corner.

A cool breeze swept by, and Xiao Xuanyuan reached out to brush away a stray strand of hair from Daphne's forehead, but she didn't appreciate it, taking a few steps back to avoid his groping hand. Seeing Daphne's continued aloofness, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but smile wryly. It had been over a year, and this little girl was still so resistant to him. "Are you still blaming me? Blaming me for the soul contract I put on you back then?"

"This servant wouldn't dare." Daphne was neither humble nor arrogant, but simply bowed respectfully, leaving Xiao Xuanyuan speechless. Before entering Canaan Academy, Xiao Xuanyuan accidentally triggered an ancient formation hidden beneath the lake in the outer courtyard, which led him to the sacred land of the Elf race. He was captured by the Elf Queen Marina and forced to possess her strange fire. If he hadn't been bold and careful, and fought to the death, he probably would have been drained dry by the Elf Queen.

Finally, relying on his powerful soul strength and the continuous support of Zong Wuyai's soul energy, Xiao Xuanyuan barely managed to break through Marina's soul defense and enslave her. The peasants turned over a new leaf and sang their own songs. He had only taken a little interest from the elves. What did that matter?

Since Daphne is the Holy Maiden of the Elf Clan and the successor to the Elf Queen, she is naturally considered one of the Elf Queen's people. It is perfectly reasonable for Xiao Xuanyuan to bind her to him with a soul contract. He has a clear conscience and is completely open and honest.

However, the Saintess's training plan must be done slowly; one can't become fat overnight, can one? Xiao Xuanyuan wasn't in a hurry. "Come closer, tell me your heart, do you hate me or not?!"

Chapter Nineteen: Zi Yan Has Come to See You

"Master, Daphne wouldn't dare!"

Daphne remained composed and did not step forward. Instead, she bowed to Xiao Xuanyuan with her hands clasped.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan gave a wry smile, shook his head slightly, and didn't press her. "Tell me, what's the situation with Xun'er, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Xue? How have they been lately?"

“Young Master Xun’er says she wants to come and see you every day. Miss Xiao Yu, Miss Xiao Mei, and Miss Hu Jia have all agreed. As for Xiao Xue, she…” When she mentioned Xiao Xue, Daphne frowned slightly and paused for a moment.

"What did she say?" Xiao Xuanyuan was taken aback. He couldn't help but think of that eternally cold-faced iceberg who seemed to owe everyone money. She didn't seem to care about anyone, but she seemed to have some feelings for him. However, Xiao Xuanyuan was not sure. Moreover, when he used the Heavenly Vision Prodigy to spy on her before, it was like looking through a fog. He couldn't see anything and was even injured by the backlash.

What exactly is Xiao Xue's background? This has always been a question that Xiao Xuanyuan has been considering.

“She said it didn’t matter, and that her death had nothing to do with her.” Daphne considered for a moment, but still told the truth.

"This iceberg is simply incomprehensible!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan was annoyed. He had previously thought she was interested in him, but it seemed he had been delusional. However, thinking about it, it made sense. How could someone as unapproachable as an iceberg like her easily fall for someone? If Xiao Xue were to say she liked him, Xiao Xuanyuan would find it strange. Unless the sun rose in the west, it was absolutely impossible.

After inquiring about the situation recently and receiving a definite answer from Daphne, Xiao Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. As Daphne said, Xun'er didn't know about his private affairs with Xiao Yu and the other girls; she just wanted to see him. That made things easier. However, the rumors were terrible lately. If they reached Xun'er's ears, things would be bad. Xiao Xuanyuan thought and thought but couldn't come up with an excuse.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now.
