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

A week has passed in the blink of an eye since Xiao Ling returned to the Starfall Pavilion, and Little Fairy Doctor has completely stabilized her half-saint cultivation.

After everything in the pavilion was settled, Xiao Ling set off as promised with Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, heading straight for the Beast Domain in the southern region of the Dou Qi Continent, a wild and desolate land inhabited by magical beasts.

With Xiao Ling, a powerful Dou Sheng, leading the way, the three of them traveled without hindrance. Wherever they went, powerful magical beasts sensed the unfathomable pressure and retreated in all directions.

After the three entered the heart of the Beast Domain, Xiao Ling and Little Fairy Doctor focused on searching for high-level snake pets for Qing Lin. With Xiao Ling's soul power, they found several eighth-order snake-type magical beasts in just a few days.

These ferocious beasts, which usually roamed the Beast Realm, were powerless to resist under the combined suppression of the Dou Sheng and the Half-Saint. In the end, they were all forcibly contracted by Qing Lin's Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil and incorporated into her pupil technique space.

The greatest gain from this trip was a peak eighth-tier elder from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

Even though this elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, in terms of cultivation alone, was already equivalent to a human cultivator at the seventh-level Dou Zun, he was easily suppressed by Xiao Ling. In the face of the Azure Scale Green Serpent's innate divine power of the Three-Flower Pupil, he only resisted for a moment before his eyes became unfocused. In the end, he prostrated himself on the ground, bowed his head to Azure Scale, and completely became its loyal servant.

This Nine Netherworld Python elder held a very high position in the clan. Although he did not hold the position of clan leader, he controlled some clan affairs and was considered to have considerable power.

After being controlled, under Qinglin's influence, he revealed all the secrets of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan that he knew.

What Xiao Ling cared about most was the mysterious disappearance of the former clan leader, Yao Ming. Over the years, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan had spent countless manpower and resources searching for him, but had never been able to find a single clue. This matter had become the biggest mystery in the clan.

Although the elder was unaware of the clan's most core secrets, it was an unexpected bonus for Xiao Ling's future plans.

With an elder who is familiar with the clan's terrain, power distribution, and some secrets as an inside agent, it will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble when we officially take action against the Nine Netherworld Python Clan in the future, and make the plan proceed more smoothly.

After subduing the eighth-tier peak Nine Netherworld Python elder, Qing Lin's pupil technique space has gathered a group of powerful snake-like magical beasts, and his cultivation speed has greatly improved compared to before.

Seeing that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, Xiao Ling smiled and suggested returning home. Qing Lin looked at the submissive high-level snake pets in the pupil technique space, her emerald green eyes full of excitement, and she obediently nodded in agreement.

……

The bluestone path of Xingyun Pavilion gleamed warmly under the moonlight, and exotic flowers and plants on both sides stretched out their leaves, their fragrance mingling with the mountain breeze, refreshing and invigorating.

Mu Qingluan and Xiao Ling walked slowly side by side. The girl's green gauze dress fluttered in the wind, and the phoenix totem embroidered on the hem was faintly visible in the morning light.

She tilted her head, her bright almond-shaped eyes gazing at the figure beside her with a smile. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of coquettishness, and her voice was as soft and sweet as honey.
"Senior brother, I've already touched the threshold of the Dou Zun realm and am thinking of trying to break through. Do you think... you could offer me some rare and precious herbs, elixirs, or something to help me out?"

After saying that, she gently tugged at Xiao Ling's sleeve, her fingertips feeling slightly cool to the touch, her eyes full of anticipation.

Anyway, her cheap senior brother is rich and has countless good things in his possession. Even if he just casually reveals some of them, it would be enough for her, a mere Dou Zong, to treasure.

Xiao Ling glanced at her and saw that the girl's cheeks were flushed with anticipation, her eyes were bright as if filled with starlight, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

Although Mu Qingluan's Heavenly Phoenix bloodline was of superior quality, it was ultimately not as heaven-defying as Zi Yan's Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline, nor did it have the unique talent of the Azure Scale Green Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

Moreover, the cultivation of the magical beast race emphasizes the accumulation of knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential. Compared to human cultivators, their breakthroughs in realm often require a much longer period of time to mature and a more substantial accumulation of energy, making the process far slower.

Even so, Mu Qingluan still managed to cultivate to the Dou Zong realm in just a few years, a speed of advancement that can be considered astonishing.

Such achievements are naturally inseparable from the cultivation of various rare resources in the Starfall Pavilion. Even when Yao Chen has nothing to do, he will casually refine a lot of elixirs and medicines suitable for cultivators in the Dou Zong realm, and give them all to Mu Qingluan to help her on her cultivation path and save her from countless arduous efforts.

Of course, his own diligent and hard-working practice on a daily basis is also an indispensable and important reason.

"Breaking through the Dou Zun bottleneck is indeed no easy feat. The fact that you were able to cultivate to the peak of Dou Zong and touch the threshold of Dou Zun in just a few years speaks volumes about the hard work you've put in. It certainly deserves praise..."

Xiao Ling gently stroked Mu Qingluan's soft hair with his fingertips, which were slightly cool but warm, his tone full of approval.

The girl's almond-shaped eyes instantly shone brighter than stars, and she couldn't help but smile as she looked at him with anticipation.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled gently. His slender fingers lightly touched the storage ring at his waist. A soft white light shone from the ring and landed steadily in his palm. It was an exquisite jade box carved with patterns. The jade was warm and translucent, with a faint luster. It was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

Immediately, Xiao Ling handed the jade box to Mu Qingluan.

Mu Qingluan could no longer contain her excitement. She eagerly accepted the jade box with both hands, her fingertips even trembling slightly. She held the jade box carefully, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world, and couldn't wait to lift the lid.

The moment the box was opened, a faint purple halo quietly spread out, followed by an extremely rich fragrance of elixir that gushed out like a clear spring, instantly filling the air with its aroma.

The aroma of the medicine was rich and pure, without any impurities. When inhaled, a warm current flowed down the throat and into the lower abdomen. The body was nourished by the gentle medicinal power, and all the pores of the body opened up. Even the soul seemed to be cleansed, and there was an indescribable sense of comfort and ease.

Mu Qingluan stared wide-eyed at the pill in the jade box. It was a pale purple color with a delicate luster on its surface. The pill was round and full with subtle interwoven patterns. Judging from its appearance alone, one could tell that its quality had reached an unimaginable level.

"Senior Brother, this is..." Mu Qingluan's voice trembled slightly. Although she couldn't recognize the specific type and grade of the pill, she knew from its domineering fragrance and unusual phenomena that its value far exceeded that of ordinary high-grade pills. "This pill is called the Breakthrough Pill, and its grade is eighth. I deduced and improved it based on the Breakthrough Sect Pill formula. It is specifically designed for peak Dou Zong cultivators, and can maximize the tempering of Dou Qi and widen the meridians, increasing the probability of breaking through to Dou Zun to over 80%."

Before Mu Qingluan could ask, Xiao Ling spoke up to explain, his voice tinged with a hint of arrogance.

"And the one in front of you is a top-grade, nine-colored, eighth-rank pill that I personally refined. With the quality of this Breakthrough Pill, you should properly regulate your breathing, stabilize your state, and then take the pill. Try to break through the bottleneck, and breaking through to the Dou Zun level will be a sure thing."

With a slight change in tone, Xiao Ling deliberately put on a stern face and said seriously, "I didn't even get to enjoy such a treasure when I broke through to the Dou Zun realm. You must cherish it and do your best to break through. If you dare to waste this pill and fail to break through in the end... I will really hold you accountable."

At this moment, Mu Qingluan's heart was already in turmoil, and she was secretly amazed.

She initially only had the idea of ​​"borrowing some resources" and hoping to get some gold coins from this wealthy senior brother. She didn't dare to hope that she could get any amazing treasures.

But who would have thought that Xiao Ling would offer such a powerful gift right away? An eighth-grade, nine-colored Breakthrough Pill was so casually given away by his senior brother.

An eighth-grade, nine-colored Breakthrough Pill! If it were any other type of pill, let alone a Dou Zun expert, even a half-saint expert would be green with envy.

But now, this Rank 8 Nine-Colored Pill is being used by my senior brother to help a mere Dou Zong break through the Dou Zun bottleneck. This is simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
Her hands, holding the jade box, tightened unconsciously, her fingertips turning white from the force, and she even subconsciously softened her breathing. Her gaze was fixed on the pale purple pill, and the fervor in her eyes burned brighter and brighter like a wildfire.

An indescribable feeling of happiness swept through her body like a warm current, causing Mu Qingluan's body to tremble slightly.

At this moment, Mu Qingluan had only one thought in her mind: to have such a perfect senior brother who doted on her was simply the greatest blessing in the world!

Seeing the young girl standing there, holding the jade box, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, her face still showing lingering shock and elation, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle. He gently flicked her fair forehead with his index finger, his tone slightly teasing.

"What? Speechless with shock at this Broken Venerable Pill? Why are you suddenly stunned?"

The slight touch on her forehead brought Mu Qingluan back to her senses. She looked up and met Xiao Ling's half-smiling eyes, and she could no longer suppress the excitement and gratitude in her heart.

With a leap, she flew into Xiao Ling's arms like a graceful phoenix, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, her cheek rubbing against his collar, her voice sweet and cloying.
"Senior brother! You're so good to your junior sister! Qingluan loves you to death, you're the best senior brother in the whole world!"

Without waiting for Xiao Ling's response, Mu Qingluan wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his angular face several times. Her soft lips, carrying a faint fragrance, left behind light kiss marks. She then continued to sway back and forth around his neck, teasing him in a spoiled manner.

Xiao Ling's lips twitched slightly at her sudden intimacy. He could only reach out and steadily support the girl's soft, upturned bottom to prevent her from falling, his tone carrying a mixture of helplessness and indulgent pampering.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around." He gently patted her back. "There are many disciples coming and going on the bluestone path of Starfall Pavilion. If other disciples see you, the senior sister, acting like this, it will damage your usual dignified dignity."

“Hehe, it’s so late anyway, there aren’t many disciples coming and going in the core area.” Mu Qingluan snuggled against him, her voice soft and mischievous. “Besides, what does it matter if we’re seen? I only act like this with you, Senior Brother!”

After fiddling around for a while, she gradually stopped, looked down at the jade box tightly clutched in her palm, and couldn't help but grin, a silly smile spreading across her face, the joy in her eyes impossible to hide.

Then, she gently pressed her pretty face against Xiao Ling's shoulder, the unique scent of his clear medicine and body heat lingering around her nose, and her heartbeat slowed down a beat.

Her gaze lingered on his smooth, flawless profile, gazing at his slightly upturned lips and deep eyes. Remembering the moments they had shared, a faint blush crept onto the girl's cheeks, and even her voice held a touch of shy hesitation.

"Senior brother gave me such a precious Breakthrough Pill to help me break through to Dou Zun... Senior brother, is there anything you want your junior sister to do? No matter what it is, as long as it's something your junior sister can do, I'll grant your wish!"

Mu Qingluan's words carried a hint of unwitting allure, which reached Xiao Ling's ears, causing him to raise an eyebrow slightly.

Turning his head, his gaze fell on the girl's flushed face and evasive almond eyes. The unconcealed shyness and tentativeness instantly made Xiao Ling realize that this little girl probably had some other thoughts in her heart.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's smile deepened, and he followed up on her words with a playful teasing tone: "Oh? Junior Sister, are you serious?"

Before Mu Qingluan could respond, Xiao Ling casually stretched his neck, making a slight cracking sound, then looked intently at her, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"Since you're so kind, Junior Sister, I've just returned from the Beast Realm and am feeling a bit sore from all the travel. Would you be so kind as to give me a good 'service'—a shoulder massage and a back rub?"

Mu Qingluan naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Ling's words. The blush on her cheeks instantly spread to her ears, but she felt no resistance in her heart. Instead, she felt like she was holding a fluttering deer, hiding a few unspeakable expectations.

She bit her lower lip, her voice tinged with shyness yet utterly straightforward: "Since you've had such a long and tiring journey, I'm naturally happy to oblige. I happen to have some massage tools at my residence; why don't you come with me so I can give you a good massage?"

As soon as she spoke, she felt her cheeks burning and instinctively avoided Xiao Ling's gaze, her ears turning so red they were almost bleeding.

Seeing her straightforward yet shy demeanor, Xiao Ling's smile deepened, and he had no reason to back down. He chuckled lightly, his tone teasing with a hint of indulgence: "Since Junior Sister has so kindly invited me, it would be impolite of me to refuse."

Having said that, he tightened his grip on the girl's delicate body, lightly touched the bluestone ground with his toes, and leaped up like an arrow, transforming into a streak of light as he flew towards Mu Qingluan's residence. His speed was so fast that he left only a blur, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Mu Qingluan's boudoir.

Tonight, Mu Qingluan went to great lengths to massage Xiao Ling until she was completely exhausted, finally relieving his fatigue from days of travel. The young woman could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling gently pulled her into his arms, then slowly closed his eyes and they both drifted off to sleep. (End of Chapter)
