“Um,” Xiao Xuanyuan couldn’t help but rest his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful. He knew all too well what Xun’er was thinking. He was probably up to some mischief again. But then he thought again, why should he be afraid of this girl? He knew everything about her background.
Actually, Xiao Xuanyuan knew Xun'er when he was very young, even before Xiao Yan! But somehow, Xun'er ended up playing with Xiao Yan again. However, that doesn't matter; Xun'er now understands his feelings and realizes that he is the one she has always been searching for.
In his previous life, Xiao Xuanyuan was a college student. During an act of heroism, he lost his life saving a little girl from being hit by a speeding car. Xiao Xuanyuan still remembered that the moment he pushed the little girl away, the red Ferrari slammed into him, sending him flying into the air before crashing into a tall, green tree several meters away. At that moment, a warm current emanated from the blue, rhombus-shaped crystal pendant he wore around his neck, enveloping his soul and sending it into the void. This was the last thing his soul saw. After arriving in the Dou Qi Continent, he regained his memories with the help of the blue rhombus-shaped crystal in his mind; he was only two years old at the time.
Suddenly recalling these things, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little sad, but he was optimistic by nature and did not always dwell on the past. What's past is past, and the present life is the best.
A flash of blue light appeared in his eyes, and all the information about Xun'er's background and origins appeared in his mind: Hmph, I don't think you can pull anything off. I'll agree to your request first.
"Xun'er, what are your conditions? Just tell me if you can do it."
Looking at the dashing, handsome, and energetic young man before her, Xun'er's eyes dimmed slightly: If only Brother Xiao Yan had treated Xun'er like this before, but he's such a blockhead, so unromantic. However, compared to the cheerful Xiao Xuanyuan now, Xun'er suddenly realized he was actually quite nice.
The person I knew is no longer the same, so why should I place my hopes on him? In time, I'll eventually forget him. Having come to this realization, Xun'er felt her previous gloomy mood had dissipated considerably.
"Cousin Xuanyuan, unless you agree to three conditions, I will not forgive you." Xun'er quickly corrected herself after calling him cousin, her little mouth pouting slightly.
"Hmm, there's a chance." His mind raced, and Xiao Xuanyuan immediately realized something. "As long as you can forget about that guy Xiao Yan, why would I refuse?"
"Three conditions? Isn't that too many?" But Xiao Xuanyuan wasn't stupid; he wouldn't agree so easily in a moment of impulse. He would haggle over it first.
"Hmph!" Hearing this, Xun'er stretched out her arms and tried to close the door.
"No!" Xiao Xuanyuan quickly stopped her. Of course, he was not careless and directly placed his hands on Xun'er's two delicate hands.
Xiao Xuanyuan slapped her, and Xun'er quickly withdrew both of her delicate hands. "You...you're a pervert!"
"You little rascal, I don't believe you won't come to my bowl." Xiao Xuanyuan was secretly delighted and overjoyed, but on the surface he pretended to be frightened: "Sister Xun'er, Brother Xuanyuan didn't mean it, please don't misunderstand!"
"You—" Xun'er's face contorted with rage, her teeth clenched, wishing she could tear that sour face in front of her to shreds. However, she forcibly suppressed her anger. "Brother Xuanyuan, are you going to agree to Xun'er's three conditions or not? If not, I'll close the door!"
"Of course I agree! As long as I can do it, Xun'er, just give the order," Xiao Xuanyuan said confidently, patting his chest. But after looking at Xun'er, he added, "Xun'er, don't you understand my feelings?"
Faced with Xiao Xuanyuan's shamelessness and roguishness, Xun'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Alright, I know, Xun'er forgives you. Is there anything else? If not, I'll close the door." Saying that, Xun'er tried to close the door again.
"Don't rush! Why are you in such a hurry? It's been so long, and I haven't been in your room again!" With that, Xiao Xuanyuan ignored Xun'er's attempts to stop him and tried to enter.
"No, Brother Xuanyuan, no men are allowed in Xun'er's room." Xun'er reached out and blocked Xiao Xuanyuan's way.
"Alright, but Brother Xuanyuan, there's something I need your help with." Faced with Xun'er's obstruction, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't do anything excessive. However, he urgently needed money to buy medicinal herbs; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get the old medicine master to refine the medicinal liquid for his cultivation. Of course, he could borrow money from his grandfather, the Third Elder, but ever since he became the Xiao family's number one cultivation failure, he had not only failed to bring honor to his grandfather but had also caused him considerable embarrassment. In recent years, his grandfather had given him a hard time and had become quite cold towards him. He feared that if he asked his grandfather for money again, not only would his grandfather refuse, but he would also interrogate him about where the money was going. Xiao Xuanyuan was troubled by this, so he abandoned the idea.
There was no other way. Having encountered such a wealthy and noble young lady, who else could he turn to but her? Sure enough, Xun'er did not disappoint Xiao Xuanyuan. She reached out and flicked her fingers behind her back, and in the blink of an eye, a purple-gold card suddenly appeared between her slender fingers. She reached forward and handed it to Xiao Xuanyuan: "I still have two thousand gold coins."
"So little! Xun'er, don't be so stingy, take out more. How about this, take out another three thousand gold coins."
Reaching out to take the card, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but complain. He had bought quite a lot of medicinal herbs, which might not be enough, so of course he hoped to borrow as much as possible.
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Xuanyuan noticed that the card shimmered with five different colored ripples, making it a five-patterned purple-gold card. In the Dou Qi Continent, one would need at least the strength of a Dou Ling to be eligible to obtain such a prestigious gold card. Xiao Xuanyuan wasn't surprised at all that this little girl possessed one.
Xun'er's expression turned angry again, her teeth clenched, as if she wanted to tear Xiao Xuanyuan apart on the spot. She'd seen scoundrels before, but never one this shameless! What kind of guy was this?!
Xiao Xuanyuan shrugged, but said very seriously, "Xun'er, you can borrow money from me now, and I will pay you back later. If you really need it urgently, I will pay you back in a couple of days. But let me tell you, you will definitely be my woman in the future, my woman, Xiao Xuanyuan's woman!"
Xiao Xuanyuan spoke with unusual seriousness, his eyes meeting Xun'er's directly.
Suddenly, Xun'er lowered her head, a blush rising to her cheeks. "Here, take this. There are still over three thousand gold coins in this card." Xun'er took out another purple-gold card from her storage ring and handed it to Xiao Xuanyuan. Then she pushed Xiao Xuanyuan out the door and slammed the door shut with a 'bang'.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Was this little girl angry? I was just borrowing a little more money. Borrowing two thousand gold coins was the same as borrowing five thousand gold coins, so I might as well borrow more! Anyway, this little girl must marry him in the future. This was a decision Xiao Xuanyuan had made up his mind, and he was determined to do it! But then he thought about it and realized that something was wrong. Xun'er's expression just now didn't seem angry. I understand now.
Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly realized what was going on. Seeing that Xun'er had closed the door, Xiao Xuanyuan, with the two purple-gold cards in his hand, called out to the inside, "Xun'er, I will pay you back, don't worry."
"Hmph, who asked me to pay back my money? Remember the three conditions you promised me!" Xun'er put her hands behind her back, leaning against the door. After hearing Xiao Xuanyuan's words, she raised her little fist and turned around to threaten him.
Upon seeing this from outside the door, Xiao Xuanyuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Xun'er, wait for me to marry you." After saying this, he left nonchalantly, his figure quite free and unrestrained.
Watching his tall, receding figure, Xun'er suddenly chuckled, "Luckily, he's not a blockhead." At that moment, she was in a particularly good mood, and gracefully walked back to the bedside, her steps rather cheerful and light.

Chapter 007 Buying Medicinal Herbs
After bidding farewell to Xun'er, Xiao Xuanyuan arrived alone at his family's market town. Wutancheng has three major families and twelve major markets, but in recent years the Xiao family has gradually declined, from controlling five major markets to now only having two. The one Xiao Xuanyuan came to was the eastern market town of the Xiao family.
At this time, only a few people were passing by on the main street east of the Xiao family compound. Merchants and their carriages passed by in small groups, creating a rather desolate and declining atmosphere. Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan sighed softly. Since the passing of his grandfather's generation, the Xiao family had declined with each generation. They had finally produced a genius, Xiao Yan, but his Dou Qi was absorbed by the Yao Lao residing in the ring, making him a laughingstock and a useless member of the family. For three years, the Xiao family had produced no outstanding individuals.
But things are different now. I am bound to rise and replace the number one young person in the Xiao family.
Silently clenching his fists, Xiao Xuanyuan's gaze was extremely firm.
"What's wrong, kid? It's not too late for the Xiao family to decline now. As long as you can amount to something, why should we be afraid of the two small families in Wutancheng? Hmph, we'll just wipe them out." Xiao Xuanyuan paused for a moment, and Yao Lao's voice reached his ears.
Actually, this wasn't really a sound, but a communication of thoughts. 'Yao' Elder used a secret method to transmit it directly to his mind. Following this thought, Xiao Yan replied, "If the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family join forces to deal with our Xiao family, 'Yao' Elder, you can't just stand by and do nothing, or I'll expose your embarrassing secrets and make sure you can't live like a ghost."
"Boy, do you believe that I can kill you with a single thought?" After hearing Xiao Xuanyuan's threat, the old man was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard in the ring.
"No, Elder Yao, how could I dare reveal your secrets? I was just teasing you. But let's make it clear, you absolutely mustn't stand idly by. When it's time to act, you must act decisively. Don't always look like a lazy bum," Xiao Xuanyuan quickly added. He understood Elder Yao's temperament; after all, he had read that book in his previous life.
"Alright, kid, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and buy the medicinal herbs," the old herbalist urged, his anger subsiding.
"That's good." Xiao Xuanyuan replied, then walked towards the herbal medicine shop near the market.
A short while later, he arrived at a herbal medicine shop. A shop assistant hurriedly came out to greet him, bowing and scraping as he introduced the medicine.
Xiao Xuanyuan didn't want to waste words with him and directly stated all the medicinal materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Upon hearing this, the waiter's eyes lit up; this was a considerable business opportunity.
"Sir, look, these are three purple-leaf grasses and two bone-cleansing flowers. The purple-leaf grasses are in perfect condition as you requested, and the bone-cleansing flowers are all over fifty years old. Do you think they suit your needs?" In a short while, the waiter brought out the two kinds of medicinal materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
After carefully examining it from all angles, it was indeed done according to the requirements. Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and said, "There are no problems with that, very good. But what about the level one wood-type magic core?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, we just sold it the day before yesterday, so we don't have any more now..."
Not long after, Xiao Xuanyuan emerged from the herbal medicine shop with considerable satisfaction. After his dealings with the shopkeeper, he had successfully purchased the two herbs needed for the Foundation Establishment Elixir, as well as the herbs needed for the Rejuvenating Elixir to repair the injuries to his meridians. Of course, the Rejuvenating Elixir required many more herbs than the Foundation Establishment Elixir, two more in total.
"I just bought two common medicinal herbs needed for the Rejuvenating Elixir: one Yellow Ganoderma Essence and two Azure Flower stalks. Now I only need one level-one water-type magic core, one Azure Flower, and one level-one wood-type magic core needed for the Foundation Establishment Elixir." After leaving the herbal shop, Xiao Xuanyuan carefully calculated that the medicinal herbs he bought had cost him more than two thousand gold coins in total.
Next, Xiao Xuanyuan visited several more herbal medicine shops to replenish the Azure Pattern Flower and the Level 1 Wood-type magic core. Only the Level 1 Water-type magic core remained.
"What are you doing? I was the one who set my sights on this level-one water-type magic core first. Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served?"
Just as Xiao Xuanyuan came out of a herbal medicine shop, he saw Xiao Mei arguing with a young man at a small stall not far away on the street.
"Hmph, don't think you can bully people just because this is your Xiao family's market. We, the Jialie family, are not to be trifled with. If you anger us, your Xiao family's eastern market will never be able to continue operating." A man dressed in a light green brocade robe, around twenty years old, held a white fan with gold thread in his hand. He calmly waved the fan, his expression indifferent, arrogant, and elegant.
Judging from his expression now, he seemed to look down on the Xiao family, as if they were chickens and ducks that could be slaughtered at any time.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan was furious. The Jia Lie family was acting so arrogantly right at their doorstep. If they weren't taught a lesson, they would continue to act arrogantly and domineeringly. Judging from their arrogant appearance, they were practically living in heaven. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan strode forward.
"Galieao, who do you think you are? Trying to act tough in front of the Xiao family, huh? Let me tell you, when our Xiao family's market enforcement team arrives, we'll cripple you and throw you out!" Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward, one hand on his hip, the other pointing directly at the young man's nose as he cursed. This man was none other than Galieao, the young master of the Galie family, one of the three major families of Wutan City, ranked first in strength. Seeing the Xiao family's decline and its current ranking last among the three families, this guy frequently came to the Xiao family's market to act arrogantly and cause trouble. Xiao Xuanyuan recognized him. If the Xiao family weren't currently in a downward spiral, and if they hadn't been tolerating him, the Xiao family's enforcement team would have already crippled him and thrown him out.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the girl who had been vying with Galeo for the medicinal herbs suddenly brightened up. She wore a beautiful pink dress, her face was stunningly beautiful, and a vibrant rose adorned her cascading hair. With such beauty and charm, passersby couldn't help but glance at her a few more times; no man could resist the allure of this beautiful young woman who had blossomed like a lotus flower.
"Brother Xuanyuan, it's you! But you've come at just the right time. That young master Jia Lie of the Jia Lie family is truly rude!" This beautiful and charming young woman was none other than Xiao Mei, a beautiful girl from the Xiao family. She didn't know what had happened today, but she happened to be out in the eastern market of the Xiao family, searching for and trading medicinal herbs. Whether by coincidence or not, she had run into Jia Lie'ao, the young master of the Jia Lie family. Speaking of Jia Lie'ao, he was notorious in Wutan City. Relying on his family's wealth and power—the strongest of the three major families in Wutan City—he had ruined countless innocent and beautiful women in Wutan City, and countless people cursed the Jia Lie family behind their backs. However, due to the Jia Lie family's power, they dared not speak out against him.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter 008 Taking Action
Xiao Mei had been constantly harassed by Galeo. Seeing that she ignored him completely, Galeo resorted to a desperate measure: buying whatever medicinal herbs Xiao Mei bought and then following her around to cause trouble. Xiao Mei absolutely hated him, but she was helpless. She had left in a hurry and hadn't brought any male companions, so Galeo seized this opportunity to relentlessly pursue her. He was truly unwilling to give up until he got his hands on Xiao Mei.
Thinking of this, a lewd glint flashed in Galeo's eyes. However, his heart remained set on Xiao Xun'er. While he might have had illicit relationships with other women, his feelings for Xiao Xun'er were genuine. But his affections were unrequited; he had wandered the Xiao family market for so long without even catching a glimpse of her. Now that he had finally encountered a stunningly beautiful young woman, he could only use her to satisfy his cravings.
Seeing her savior, Xiao Mei rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Xuanyuan's arm from her left. She knew she couldn't possibly defeat Jia Lie'ao, who had broken through to the Dou Zhe level just months ago; with her own seventh-level Dou Qi, she figured he wouldn't even have the ability to resist. Actually, Xiao Mei still held Xiao Xuanyuan in some contempt. He had been ridiculed in the Xiao family for six or seven years; he was undoubtedly the Xiao family's number one cultivation waste. Only a few days ago had Xiao Xuanyuan finally defeated Xiao Yan, shedding his title as the Xiao family's number one cultivation waste. This made Xiao Mei look at him somewhat differently, slightly changing her opinion of him.
"Brother Xuanyuan, the young master of the Jialie family always bullies me." Xiao Mei's soft jade hands tightly embraced Xiao Xuanyuan, it seemed that she was really being harassed by Jialie.
Suddenly embraced by Xiao Mei's gentle words, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little uneasy. At fourteen or fifteen, he was already quite mature in that area, and Xiao Mei's close contact, the softness of her breasts, and the occasional brush against his arm, stirred a wave of desire within him. He didn't seem to know her that well normally, did he? However, when he stepped forward, Xiao Xuanyuan realized it was Xiao Mei arguing with Galeo. To be honest, Xiao Mei looked stunning today; even Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but stare.
However, having already stepped forward, and with things having come to this point, Xiao Xuanyuan was no longer prepared to be a coward. If Galeo really made a move against him, aside from the enforcement team of Xiao Family Market, there was also Elder Yao in the ring who could intervene, wasn't there? Xiao Xuanyuan didn't believe that Elder Yao would dare disobey him.
"Sister Xiao Mei, don't worry. This is the eastern market of the Xiao family, and our Xiao family's law enforcement team is here to guard it. If this young master from the Jia Lie family doesn't know his own limitations and causes trouble in our Xiao family market, I believe he'll be lucky to escape with his life. He'll have to walk in and be carried out." Constantly sensing the lingering fragrance of virginity emanating from Xiao Mei, and feeling the subtle allure of her figure, Xiao Xuanyuan felt that today's trip hadn't been in vain; standing up for her was definitely the right thing to do.
The small vendor selling medicinal herbs nearby was in a difficult position. He couldn't afford to offend either side. On one side was the Xiao family, who owned the eastern market, and on the other was the Jialie family, the most powerful family in Wutan City. Moreover, he was the young master of the Jialie family. He couldn't sell this level-one water-type magic core to either side, otherwise he would offend the other side. How could he stay in Wutan City then? For a moment, he looked bitter and was caught in a dilemma.
"Young masters, there is only one water-type magic core here. I really don't know who to sell it to. How about we sell it to Miss Xiao Mei of the Xiao family? After all, it's first come, first served," the small vendor said after his expression changed several times and he made a difficult decision.
"Shut up!" Galeo was already furious, and now Xiao Mei's jade-like hand was intimately wrapped around Xiao Xuanyuan's arm, their tenderness fueling his jealousy. If they weren't in the Xiao family's eastern market, Galeo would have wanted to wipe out Xiao Xuanyuan, who had come to cause trouble. Now, this small vendor selling medicinal herbs had spoken up, even offering to sell the level-one water-elemental magic core to Xiao Mei. Wasn't this just asking for trouble? Galeo wasn't concerned about the level-one water-elemental magic core; he was concerned that Xiao Xuanyuan had interfered, ruined his plans, and made him lose face.
Just then, this small vendor came out and stirred up trouble. Enraged, Galeo slapped the vendor across the face. Caught off guard, the vendor was sent flying five or six meters away by Galeo's slap, knocking over several other vendors' stalls nearby.
After being slapped to the ground some distance away, the vendor groaned a few times and spat out two mouthfuls of blood, but he couldn't get up.
Galeo's sudden outburst really startled Xiao Mei, who was standing next to Xiao Xuanyuan. After all, she was a girl, and her fighting spirit was not as strong as Galeo's. When Galeo suddenly attacked, Xiao Mei unconsciously dodged and retreated, hiding behind Xiao Xuanyuan.
However, Xiao Xuanyuan remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. In truth, he hadn't expected Jialie'ao to be so presumptuous in the Xiao family's market. This was Xiao family territory; if he acted like this, wasn't he afraid the Xiao family would really punish him? With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Xuanyuan then began to communicate telepathically with Yao Lao using their unique method.
"Elder Yao, quickly lend me your power first, otherwise this guy will kill me." Xiao Xuanyuan transmitted his voice, waking up Elder Yao in the ring.
"You rascal, you've managed to cause trouble for me even when I asked you to buy some medicinal herbs," the old herbalist said with great dissatisfaction.
"What can I do? This young master from the Jia family is always causing trouble, trying to come to our Xiao family to wreak havoc again. How can I just sit idly by? Hurry up, he's about to attack me again."
While communicating telepathically with the old medicine master, Xiao Xuanyuan said to Jia Lie'ao, "You've so arrogantly injured the merchants of our Xiao Family Market. You're finished when the law enforcement team arrives."
Galeo was still furious after slapping the vendor. When he saw Xiao Xuanyuan speak, he turned around, sneered, and twisted his wrists, looking ready to teach Xiao Xuanyuan a lesson.
When the surrounding vendors saw Galeo's actions, they all panicked and quickly packed up their stalls, then packed up their belongings and left.
Some people who enjoy watching a spectacle noticed the commotion and couldn't help but gather around.
"Kid, you think you can play the hero and save the beauty from me with your three-stage Dou Qi cultivation, given how many years you've spent cultivating in the Xiao family? You're really courting death!" With that, Galeo rolled up his sleeves and threw a punch straight at Xiao Xuanyuan's face.

Chapter 009 Lessons for Galeo
Just as Galeo's fist was about to hit his face, Xiao Xuanyuan shouted in his heart, "Old Yao, don't hesitate any longer!"
On the ring on Xiao Xuanyuan's left middle finger, the old man, Yao, abandoned his playful demeanor and became solemn. A surge of white soul power flowed rapidly into Xiao Xuanyuan's body through the ring.
In an instant, Xiao Xuanyuan felt an incomparably powerful force surging within his body. This force made him feel as if the heavens and the earth were in his grasp. The soul power of a Nine-Turn Dou Zun expert was indeed extraordinary. However, this power was beyond his current control, Xiao Xuanyuan sighed inwardly.
A strong wind blew in my face! It was quite piercing!
But at this moment, Yao Lao had already used his power. A powerful white energy filled Xiao Xuanyuan's entire body. He no longer hesitated. Just as Galeo's fist, filled with green battle aura, was about to strike his face, Xiao Xuanyuan gently extended his right hand. The speed seemed extremely slow, but in fact, he caught Galeo's fist that was coming at him in an instant.
With a soft "pfft," the sound, though extremely faint, resonated in Galeo's ears. Galeo's imposing fist, shrouded in green battle aura, shattered instantly, vanishing without a trace.
