The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Ignoring Xiao Ding's cough, Xiao Shan asked hesitantly, "Brother, didn't you not cultivate any Dou Qi for five or six years? How can you advance now?"

Xiao Ding finally calmed down and said, "Grandpa and I have tried everything we could to help you, but nothing has worked. How did you end up in this situation? Could it be that you, brother, have awakened your talent for cultivation after years of neglect, just like that kid Xiao Yan?"

"Xiao Yan? What's going on?" Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to understand something.

"Big brother, you've been elusive these past few days, so you probably don't know yet. Xiao Yan's cultivation talent has returned. Just these past few days, he broke through the third level of Dou Qi and reached the fourth level! This was personally ordered by the clan leader to have someone take his black stone tablet to test it."

After listening to his second brother Xiao Ding's explanation, Xiao Xuanyuan understood completely. It seemed his guess was correct. Having escaped the clutches of the vampire Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi wouldn't vanish into thin air again; his remarkable talent for Dou Qi cultivation had returned. But would he be inferior to him? Xiao Xuanyuan's expression was one of absolute certainty. He clenched his fists, making up his mind that he definitely wouldn't be inferior to Xiao Yan.

"In that case, congratulations to Xiao Yan. I'm really looking forward to his meteoric rise." A deep smile appeared on Xiao Xuanyuan's lips.

"Big brother, tell me quickly, how come your Dou Qi, which hasn't advanced in five or six years, has now advanced to the fourth level of Dou Qi?" Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with bright eyes and curiosity. Xiao Shan, who was sitting next to him, also turned his gaze over with curiosity.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Xuanyuan replied, "Recently, I had a strange encounter with a master. He not only cured the strange injuries in my body, but also taught me a top-notch cultivation technique. Therefore, I was able to break through the third level of Dou Qi and reach the fourth level of Dou Qi in just a few days."

Xiao Xuanyuan did not tell Xiao Ding and Xiao Shan about how Yao Lao had drained his Dou Qi from the third level to the second level, so they were unaware of this matter.

"Is that so? Why don't you introduce us to that expert, brother?" Xiao Ding expressed serious skepticism.

"This way, our family can properly thank him. Grandpa has worried so much about you all these years, brother. If he knew about this, he would be overjoyed," Xiao Shan said excitedly.

"Would I lie to you? As for meeting that expert, forget about it. He's elusive and I can't just see him whenever I want."

Having heard of this formidable master, both Xiao Ding and Xiao Shan expressed their desire to meet him. However, upon hearing Xiao Xuanyuan's words, they couldn't help but sigh. While feeling happy for Xiao Xuanyuan, they also envied his extraordinary encounter.

"Alright, you can leave now. My injuries have just healed, and I need to rest." Xiao Xuanyuan stood up and dismissed his two brothers.

"Big brother, you can't just kick us out like that." Xiao Ding pouted in dissatisfaction and got up with Xiao Shan to walk to the door.

"Alright, I have important things to do. I'll come find you guys to get together again when I have time." Xiao Xuanyuan said this and closed the door with a creak.

Having just recovered from the injuries to his internal meridians, Xiao Xuanyuan was now somewhat excited and wanted to be alone to fully experience the exhilarating feeling of cultivating battle qi, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. His heart was soaring.

……

He cultivated inside the house until about noon, when the sun was high in the sky. Only then did Xiao Xuanyuan come out of the house to get some fresh air.

During this hard-won period of excitement about cultivating battle qi, Xiao Xuanyuan's grandfather, Xiao Yuntian, the third elder of the Xiao family, began sending people to find him.

Moreover, they've sent people to disturb Xiao Xuanyuan several times already, which has become incredibly annoying for him. Every time he's immersed in cultivation, experiencing the exhilarating feeling of his battle qi rapidly increasing, someone always knocks on the door at the most inopportune moment.

Xiao Xuanyuan was so annoyed that he could no longer bear it. He reluctantly stopped cultivating his battle qi, got up, and went out to open the door.

Chapter 05 Warming Up

The Xiao family's third elder, Xiao Yuntian, lived in a small courtyard near a small hillside with a grove of trees, creating a quiet and elegant environment.

A handsome young man with a refined and dashing appearance strolled leisurely out of the courtyard. He was probably around thirteen or fourteen years old. Although his face still bore some traces of childishness, he exuded confidence. He walked with his head held high and chest out, his pace neither hurried nor slow, displaying an air of self-assurance.

He was none other than Xiao Xuanyuan.

Having just left his grandfather Xiao Yuntian's courtyard, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but break out in a sweat. For so many years, his grandfather had never been so affectionate towards him. Yet, the moment he entered the courtyard, Xiao Yuntian showered him with concern and care, almost making Xiao Xuanyuan wonder if he'd wandered into the wrong place or if the sun had risen in the west.

Of course, after Xiao Yuntian's unbelievable and enthusiastic concern, he began to question the mysterious master behind Xiao Xuanyuan.

Xiao Xuanyuan would certainly not reveal the existence of Elder Yao. Elder Yao was currently his last trump card, so how could he so easily expose him? That was clearly impossible.

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan laughed and used the same excuse he used on his two younger brothers to easily brush off the old man. This caused the old man, Xiao Yuntian, to suddenly change his expression, feeling quite annoyed.

Xiao Xuanyuan smiled faintly at the old man's melancholy, neither confirming nor denying it. Five or six years had passed, and his grandfather's knot in his heart had finally been untied. Over the years, although the old man hadn't said anything, how could Xiao Xuanyuan not know what he was thinking? For his grandson, he, as the third elder, had worried himself sick.

But all methods had been exhausted, yet they were all useless in Xiao Xuanyuan's inability to advance in his cultivation of Dou Qi. Xiao Yuntian was utterly at a loss, his mood constantly sour and frustrated. Now, things were finally alright; that mysterious expert had removed the thorn in his side, how could he not be incredibly grateful? However, Xiao Xuanyuan just kept making excuses, leaving Xiao Yuntian so frustrated that he really wanted to punch the kid.

Recalling his adoptive grandfather Xiao Yuntian's reaction earlier, Xiao Xuanyuan was somewhat amused and exasperated; the sun had truly risen in the west. However, this also resolved his inner conflict, and Xiao Xuanyuan felt a surge of relief.

After leaving Xiao Yuntian's courtyard, Xiao Xuanyuan was about to head to the Martial Arts Hall to see if there were any martial arts techniques he could learn. Just then, a young woman in a light purple dress approached from the opposite direction. She was graceful and quite beautiful.

Seeing the girl walking towards him, Xiao Xuanyuan turned and ran. But before he could get far, the girl's graceful figure swept past him in an instant, then turned and stopped, blocking his way.

Seeing that he had nowhere to escape, Xiao Xuanyuan put on a bitter face and said, "Xun'er, I see you again. I didn't realize you were getting more and more beautiful, like a little fairy who descended from heaven on purple clouds..."

Xiao Xuanyuan ignored everything and immediately launched into a barrage of flattery.

"Well, you actually dared to run away when you saw me. Did you run out of the gold coins I gave you? Now you feel guilty when you see me?" Xun'er put her hands on her hips, looking very unhappy.

"No, I was in a hurry. Otherwise, I would have been happy to stop and see my Xun'er." Xiao Xuanyuan blinked, made a cute face, and put on an innocent expression.

When Xiao Xuanyuan mentioned "my Xun'er", Xun'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but two blushes appeared on her face.

However, upon further reflection, a hint of resentment appeared on Xun'er's face. She gave Xiao Xuanyuan a reproachful look and said, "Brother Xuanyuan, are you going back on your word? You just borrowed five thousand gold coins from someone and then didn't come looking for Xun'er. Isn't that you... you..."

As she spoke, Xun'er's eyes suddenly reddened, and she turned her face to the side, her voice choked with emotion. Xun'er had been sent to live with the Xiao family by her father since she was a child. She had always been somewhat stubborn and strong-willed, and she had never revealed her vulnerability to outsiders, nor did she want Xiao Xuanyuan to see her sad.

Hearing Xun'er's somewhat low and choked words, and seeing that she seemed to be sad... for some reason, Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly felt a pang of unease and a touch of heartache.

Xun'er was heartbroken for him? What did that prove? Xiao Xuanyuan immediately realized what was happening and stepped forward to take Xun'er's delicate hand. Xun'er's hand was pure white and perfect, soft and smooth, with long, slender fingers, rounded like tender scallions, and had an extremely pleasant feel.

However, Xun'er was not grateful. She gently pulled away from Xiao Xuanyuan's large hand and said, "I don't need you to worry about me." After saying that, Xun'er turned around and was about to leave.

How could that be? Xiao Xuanyuan knew exactly what this little girl was thinking. If he let her go like this, he might really lose her in the future.

Xiao Xuanyuan was very magnanimous. He strode forward, reached out and grabbed Xun'er's arm, pulling her forcefully into his arms. At the same time, he quickly opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Xun'er, what's wrong? Are you angry already? If you just leave like this, who will warm my bed in the future?" Xiao Xuanyuan spoke gently, his face full of affection.

Caught off guard, Xun'er was suddenly pulled into Xiao Xuanyuan's arms.

"You...you bad guy, let me go..."

"Miss has been offended, let's go up and kill him..."

In the distance, just as several dark figures hidden in a corner of the Xiao family's corridor were about to get up and make a move, an elderly man with a cold expression said, "Wait a minute, that's the grandson of Xiao Yuntian, the third elder of the Xiao family. Miss seems to know him very well..."

Recalling the last time Xiao Xuanyuan personally went to the young lady's courtyard to look for her, the old man forcibly suppressed the murderous intent rising in his heart.

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the young man beside him, though the old man didn't see it. Xun'er was the daughter of the ancient clan's patriarch, but no one knew that Gu Heng had a peculiar fetish; Xun'er had always been the goddess in his heart.

But now, the goddess of his dreams was in another man's arms. Gu Heng was furious, but he bore the heavy responsibility of his family. Now that the old man had spoken, Gu Heng could only suppress his urge to attack, constantly reassuring himself, "It's alright, it's alright, we're all doing this for the family." And so he forced himself to endure it.

When Xiao Xuanyuan first held her, Xun'er struggled a little and pleaded weakly. But Xiao Xuanyuan ignored her and held her tighter and tighter, refusing to let go. Xun'er felt like she could hardly breathe.

"That scoundrel..." Xun'er was both angry and anxious.

Xun'er blushed deeply as she was hugged. Just as Xun'er felt she could barely breathe, Xiao Xuanyuan loosened his grip slightly. He secretly cursed himself for being so foolish and unable to be gentler.

"I won't let go unless you promise me you won't be angry anymore after I let go," Xiao Xuanyuan said with great heartache and a very forceful tone.

For some reason, Xun'er felt a warm feeling in her heart. It was a feeling that was hard to describe, but it made her unable to feel sad at all. In an instant, her mood changed from gloomy to cheerful.

Xun'er blushed and said in a soft voice, "Okay, you bad boy, I'm not... I'm not angry anymore..." Xun'er looked very shy.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan finally released Xun'er with satisfaction.

Chapter Sixteen: Reencounter with Xiao Yan

As soon as she was released, Xun'er shyly took two steps back. Seeing that she was still very close to Xiao Xuanyuan, Xun'er was still a little uneasy and took another step back.

"Why...why did you do that to me..." Xun'er said, her face flushing red with embarrassment, and she lowered her fair neck.

"Xun'er, why are you so easily embarrassed? Who are we? We're an old married couple."

Xiao Xuanyuan pursed his lips in slight annoyance. Xun'er was a beautiful teenage girl, only just beginning to understand the vague feelings between boys and girls.

If she hadn't mistaken Xiao Yan for the person she knew from her childhood, she wouldn't be in such an awkward situation with Xiao Xuanyuan now.

Even if Xiao Xuanyuan didn't care, how could Xun'er not care? However, her inner turmoil was slowly unraveling. Xiao Xuanyuan didn't want to pressure Xun'er too much, so he could only let her adapt gradually.

Turning around, Xiao Xuanyuan headed towards the Xiao family's Martial Arts Hall. He had recently broken through to the fourth level of Dou Qi and was planning to go to the Martial Arts Hall to see if there were any low-level martial arts techniques suitable for him to practice.

Previously, Xiao Xuanyuan had been frustrated because no matter how he cultivated his battle qi, there was no progress in his battle qi at all. No matter how he cultivated, there was no increase in the battle qi in his dantian.

Now, with Elder Yao's guidance, Xiao Xuanyuan finally understood that the reason his cultivation of battle qi was "leaking out" through the injuries to his meridians—in other words, "leaking qi." Every time he thought of this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Others' battle qi was stored more and more in their dantian, but what about him? He was simply a "leakage funnel," and the more he leaked, the more qi he lost, which led to him being a useless person for so many years.

But now things are better; he's no longer a "burden." Xiao Xuanyuan's heart is filled with renewed confidence.

"Brother Xuanyuan, wait for me."

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly turn around and leave, Xun'er became anxious. What was this guy up to now? One minute he was paying attention to her, the next he was ignoring her. Without time to think, Xun'er quickly followed after him.

"Brother Xuanyuan, where are you going?" Xun'er followed behind Xiao Xuanyuan, her eyes full of curiosity, looking at the handsome profile in front of her.

Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly stopped and turned around. Xun'er was walking too fast and didn't have time to react. Her slender body bumped into Xiao Xuanyuan's chest as he turned around.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Xuanyuan stretched out his strong arms, and was immediately embraced by a fragrant beauty. Feeling Xun'er's softness, a certain part of Xiao Xuanyuan's body involuntarily reacted.

Smelling the faint, pure fragrance emanating from Xun'er, Xiao Xuanyuan was instantly captivated.

Suddenly feeling Xiao Xuanyuan's restless body beneath her, Xun'er felt her body go limp and almost collapsed. Her beautiful face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly looked down at Xun'er. When he saw Xun'er's alluring and shy appearance, a surge of lust rose uncontrollably from his body and rushed to his mind. Xiao Xuanyuan could no longer suppress the throbbing in his heart. He suddenly lowered his head and pressed his lips hard against Xun'er's delicate lips.

Waaah...

Her body trembled as if electrocuted, and Xun'er let out a whimper. A burning heat spread throughout her body. She was about to raise her hand to punish the despicable person in front of her, but a strange sensation in her body made her hand go limp and fall back down.

After a long while, when Xiao Xuanyuan was almost out of breath, he finally released Xun'er's delicate lips. In terms of strength, he was no match for Xun'er.

When Xiao Xuanyuan released Xun'er, her face was flushed, and her eyes were full of charming shyness. If Xiao Xuanyuan hadn't reacted in time, Xun'er probably would have lost her balance and collapsed.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Xuanyuan supported Xun'er with his hand, his face flushed slightly. He was a little embarrassed and almost lost control. After all, he was still a passionate young man, just like Xun'er. Although he had been reborn, how could experience suppress the youthful energy within him?

After what had just happened, Xun'er had relaxed a lot. Supported by Xiao Xuanyuan, she boldly rested her little head on Xiao Xuanyuan's chest: This bad guy, why is he always so annoying?

Her actions surprised Xiao Xuanyuan. However, he had always liked Xun'er, so he accepted it readily.

……

Turning at the end of the corridor, a gravel path suddenly appeared. Lush green willows were planted on both sides of the path, their verdant green instantly invigorating.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Xiao Xuanyuan, holding Xun'er's small hand with his left hand, arrived at the entrance of the Fighting Hall.

"Battle Arena!"

Before me was a rather spacious room, with the three large, blood-red characters "Douji Hall" painted on the plaque above it, their strokes vigorous and soaring.

Upon hearing the loud shouts coming from the fighting hall, Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly felt his blood and qi surging.
