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

The two were making quite a racket, their cheerful laughter mingling with the fragrance of datura flowers, drifting gently towards the other side of the lawn.

Xiao Xi'er, who was riding on the back of the giant black-scaled python, twitched her ears and immediately turned her head.

Seeing her father raising his hand to parry her mother's sweeping leg by the stone bench in the courtyard, the smiles on their faces were warmer than the morning light under the eaves. The little boy's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of his mouth, which were originally curved, turned up even higher, revealing two shallow little tiger teeth. His smile was so bright it was dazzling.

"Mother! Daddy!"

A clear, childlike voice broke the tranquility of the courtyard. Before the words had even finished, the little guy leaped off the giant python's back.

A faint ripple of battle aura emanated from her body, and her small figure resembled a round cannonball as she flew towards Xiao Ling and Medusa.

Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Xiao Ling immediately withdrew his hand, his smile widening as he opened his arms.

The next second, her soft little body slammed into his arms with considerable force. Xiao Xi'er reached out and hugged his neck tightly, burying her face in his neck and rubbing against him, letting out sweet giggles.

Xiao Ling steadily supported his daughter, feeling the familiar impact on his chest. His lips twitched involuntarily, but a silent warmth washed over him.

This girl looks cute and cuddly, but the force with which she pounces is truly formidable. If it weren't for his strong physique and profound cultivation, an ordinary Dou Zun would probably have been hit so hard that his blood and qi would have surged. He might not have been able to catch the little girl's flying pounce steadily.

Xiao Xi'er nestled against Xiao Ling's neck for a while, then suddenly raised her little head, grabbed his hair with her chubby little hands and shook it, letting out a crisp, clear cry.

"Daddy! Daddy, I want to ride a horse! I want to ride a big horse!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly and gently stroked his daughter's pert little nose with his fingertips. How could he disobey his precious daughter's orders? Even if it was incredibly shameful, he, as her father, could only go along with her wishes.

Not far away, by the stone bench, Medusa had already pulled her legs back and was leaning against the pillar with her arms crossed, a gentle smile playing on her lips. Qinglin smiled even more, her eyes crinkling, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth, afraid of disturbing this heartwarming scene.

Xiao Ling ignored their teasing gazes, then swiftly picked up Xiao Xi'er, gently spun her around twice, eliciting a burst of silvery laughter from the little girl.

He immediately raised his arm and lifted his daughter behind him, supporting her little bottom and allowing her little hands to hold firmly on the top of her head.

Xiao Xi'er immediately understood, excitedly wiggling her short legs, and skillfully straddled Xiao Ling's shoulders, placing her two short legs on either side of his neck. She even tugged at his ears with her little hands, letting out a cheerful shout.

"Giddy up! Father, run!"

"Little darling, be gentle! Your father doesn't allow you to do this!"

A slight tugging pain came from her ear, and Xiao Ling couldn't help but grit her teeth. Although she complained, she held her daughter's legs firmly with both hands, afraid that she would lose her balance and fall.

He then started walking, carrying the little girl on his shoulders, and slowly strolled around the courtyard. Every now and then, he deliberately swayed his body, which made Xiao Xi'er laugh so hard that she bent over, and her clear laughter filled the entire courtyard.

Not far away, under the pillars, Medusa's eyes were already crinkled with laughter. Her usually cold and beautiful face was now filled with tenderness. She raised her hand to cover her lips, her shoulders swaying slightly, and the smile in her eyes was almost overflowing.

The usually dignified Qinglin was laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up. She leaned on a pillar with one hand and covered her stomach with the other, her eyes even getting a little wet with laughter. Her eyes were full of pure joy as she looked at this scene.

Who would have thought that Xiao Ling, who was renowned and composed on the Central Continent, would have such a somewhat comical appearance?

Normally, he never showed his emotions, and he always had a faint sense of detachment around him, as if nothing in the world could disturb his mind.

But only when facing his little princess would he shed all his pride and aloofness, willingly joining in her silliness and doing things that seemed incredibly childish to outsiders.

The warm morning light spilled over the white marble pillars of the courtyard, and the petals of the crimson datura fluttered down, covering Xiao Ling's shoulders and body.

The little one's clear laughter mingled with the laughter of the three, carrying a sweet and warm feeling in the wind, filling the courtyard with a peaceful, harmonious scene.

……

After playing with the little one for a while, Xiao Ling slowly stopped and carefully lifted Xiao Xi'er from his shoulder and placed her on the ground. He then squatted down, gently stroking his daughter's soft hair with his fingertips, his voice gentle and earnest.
"Alright, Xi'er, you've had enough fun, it's time to get down to business."

"Later, your father will help seal a portion of the battle qi within you. This seal will gradually weaken as you grow older, until you are able to control this power, at which point the seal will completely dissipate."

Xiao Xi'er tilted her head, her bright black eyes full of confusion. She reached out and tugged at Xiao Ling's sleeve, asking in her childish voice, "..."
"Father, what is cultivation? Why do you want to seal Xi'er's cultivation? Will there be any benefits after sealing it?"

Xiao Ling chuckled, gently flicking the tip of her pert little nose with his fingertip, and patiently explained,
"You are too young, and the Dou Zong cultivation within you is too powerful. You simply cannot control it freely, and you might easily cause big trouble for others. Moreover, sealing a portion of your cultivation will allow you to properly experience the cultivation insights of lower realms when you formally begin your cultivation in the future. By progressing step by step in this way, your foundation will be more solid, and it will be easier for you to cultivate to higher realms."

Xiao Ling's words left Xiao Xi'er completely bewildered; she didn't understand any of the intricacies of cultivation or foundation.

But in the little girl's innocent heart, she believed that her father's words were for her own good, and that as long as she was obedient, her father and mother would love her even more.

She nodded her little head as if she understood, then opened her arms, leaned forward slightly, and said in a clear voice, "Then Daddy will seal Xi'er's cultivation! Xi'er will listen to Daddy!"

Seeing his beloved daughter so obedient and cooperative, Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile slightly, his eyes full of joy. He secretly admired his daughter, who was truly sensible. She was intelligent far beyond her peers from birth, and now she was so obedient. She was truly the best daughter in the world.

He immediately bent down and pulled Xiao Xi'er into his arms, gently stroking her soft hair, his voice full of approval.

"Xi'er is so obedient, so good! Daddy will take you to seal your cultivation now. Don't worry, it won't take long, it'll be done soon. After the sealing is finished, Daddy will take you to eat something delicious!"

"Delicious!" These three words seemed to have a magical power, instantly making Xiao Xi'er's eyes light up.

She immediately raised her little hand, waved it excitedly, and her crisp cheers echoed throughout the courtyard.

"Yay! It's delicious! Xi'er loves delicious food the most! Daddy, hurry up and take me to the seal!"

Amidst Xi'er's silvery laughter, Xiao Ling held his daughter's soft little hand and slowly walked into a secret chamber deep within the temple.

The secret chamber was empty except for an intricate circular magic circle carved in the center of the floor. The array patterns shimmered with a faint light, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Xiao Ling slowly stopped, still holding her little hand, and pointed to the magic circle with his other hand, gently instructing, "Xi'er, stand obediently in the middle of that circle. Next, Daddy will use a sealing technique to temporarily seal the fighting energy in your body."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xi'er obediently nodded her little head and replied in a clear voice, "Daddy, I understand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she reluctantly let go of Xiao Ling's hand, and with her short legs, she walked unsteadily to the center of the magic circle and stood firmly.

"Xiao Ling, is this sealing technique safe? Will it harm Xi'er's body?"

Unbeknownst to them, Medusa had quietly arrived beside Xiao Ling, and her usually cold eyes were now unusually tinged with anxious worry.

As a mother, she couldn't help but feel worried, even knowing Xiao Ling's strength.

"Don't worry." Xiao Ling turned to look at her, gently patted the back of her hand, his tone firm yet tender.
"Don't you trust my methods? This is our precious daughter, how could I let her suffer even the slightest grievance? You're just worrying too much."

Medusa was comforted by his words, and her heartstrings relaxed slightly. She shook her head inwardly.

Indeed, with Xiao Ling's cultivation level, sealing a Dou Zong child who is not yet able to control his power is a piece of cake.

After all, I became a mother myself, and my heart softened. I also became so anxious and insecure, which caused me to have so many unnecessary worries.

"Xi'er, Daddy is about to use a sealing technique, which will make some noise. Don't be afraid, and don't move around. Don't worry, it won't hurt at all."

Xiao Ling looked up at the small figure in the center of the magic circle and gave a deep, earnest instruction. The little one immediately nodded vigorously and replied in a clear voice, "Don't worry, Daddy! Xi'er will definitely listen!"

Seeing his daughter so obedient, Xiao Ling didn't delay any longer. He took a deep breath, his hands moving rapidly, his fingertips forming several profound and complex hand seals.

Immediately afterwards, several extremely condensed streams of battle qi shot out from his fingertips and accurately entered the magic array patterns on the ground.

In an instant, the originally dim circular magic circle suddenly lit up, and wisps of white light traveled and spread along the patterns, illuminating the entire magic circle in a flash.

A gentle yet formidable energy fluctuation slowly emanated from the center of the magic array, carrying a faint halo that gently enveloped Xiao Xi'er, who was standing within it.

With Xiao Ling's current cultivation level, sealing the lifelong Dou Qi of an ordinary Dou Zong would be a simple matter that he could accomplish with a wave of his hand.

However, the powerful energy fluctuations gradually rising from the secret chamber showed that he was serious this time and was definitely not using any ordinary sealing techniques.

Indeed, the sealing technique that Xiao Ling is using now is an ancient secret technique that he specifically asked the spirit of the ancestral stone for.

This secret technique originated from an ancient master on the Tianxuan Continent who had already reached the pinnacle of power. Its profoundness far surpasses that of ordinary sealing techniques. It does not simply suppress battle qi, but rather condenses all the battle qi within a cultivator's body, ultimately transforming it into an energy seed containing primordial power, which lies dormant deep within the dantian.

Although after the seal, the cultivator will temporarily become a mortal without any cultivation, when they start cultivating again with this seed, the energy they condense at a lower level will be of the same purity as before the seal, far more pure and powerful than the energy of cultivators at the same level.

The energy seed will gradually dissipate and transform into energy as the cultivator's cultivation level increases, helping to quickly restore their cultivation.

What's even more remarkable is that the higher the cultivation level before sealing, the deeper the foundation of this seed, and the higher the quality of the battle qi that will be cultivated again in the future.

This secret technique has an incredibly powerful effect on solidifying one's foundation. Once mastered, not only will one's battle aura far surpass that of their peers, but fighting against cultivators of the same level will be as easy as eating and drinking.

Unfortunately, the conditions for cultivating this secret technique are too harsh. Not only must one completely seal all one's battle qi and start over, but one's cultivation level before sealing must also reach a certain level. Otherwise, it is impossible to generate enough energy seeds. Therefore, throughout history, very few people have been willing to spend so much effort to cultivate it.

Xiao Xi'er's current state perfectly matches all the requirements of this secret technique. Her innate Dou Zong cultivation is strong enough, and she is young, making it the best time to lay a solid foundation. This is why Xiao Ling specially chose this secret technique for her.

In the center of the magic circle, Xiao Xi'er blinked her big, dark eyes curiously, observing the white light surging around her. The lustrous halos, like gentle streams, converged on her in layers, without causing any stinging or discomfort. Instead, they carried a warm and comforting aura, making her feel completely at ease.

As the energy gathered and intensified, the light of the entire magic array became increasingly dazzling, even infusing the air in the secret chamber with a gentle warmth. Just then, the hand seals on Xiao Ling's fingertips suddenly changed, and the light surrounding Xi'er seemed to receive a command, instantly transforming into countless slender streams of light that rushed into her body in a rush.

Xiao Xi'er felt a strange pulling sensation in her lower abdomen. The restless and uncontrollable things in her body were being gently but irresistibly drawn together and squeezed towards one place.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling, only that she felt no discomfort whatsoever. So she obediently closed her eyes, stood up straight, and quietly waited for her father to tell her to open her eyes.

Seeing Xiao Xi'er so quiet and well-behaved, Xiao Ling nodded with satisfaction. He had been secretly worried that his daughter would be frightened by the noise of the magic array, but now it seemed that the child's ability to accept and regulate herself was far beyond that of children of the same age. She truly deserved to be his daughter.

Under Xiao Ling's control, the powerful energy fluctuations in the secret chamber gradually subsided, and the patterns on the magic array gradually dimmed until they finally returned to complete calm.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling nodded slightly and said gently to the small figure in the center of the magic circle, "Xi'er, you can open your eyes now. The seal is over." (End of this chapter)
