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

A moment later, the two slowly separated. Zi Yan's cheeks were flushed with a faint blush. She looked up at Xiao Ling, her beautiful eyes still filled with lingering shyness, but she pretended to be calm.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling chuckled and lightly flicked her delicate nose with his fingertip, teasing her with a hint of indulgence in his tone: "Now, are you still angry? Are you still going to throw a tantrum? How could I not see through your little schemes?"

Zi Yan's secret was exposed, and her pretty face blushed even more. She immediately pouted, raised her pink fist, and lightly punched Xiao Ling's chest. The force was as light as a willow catkin, and had no intimidating power whatsoever.

After smashing it, she crossed her arms, deliberately turned her face away, and said with a coquettish snort, "Hmph, that depends on your performance! This young lady isn't so easy to coax or deal with!"

She spoke with feigned toughness, but Xiao Ling didn't see that her turned face was already flushed red, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but secretly turn up, hiding her heart full of joy and sweetness. The grievances and awkwardness that had accumulated earlier had long since disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, inside the quiet room on the top floor of the spaceship, a light purple gauze curtain hung in front of the carved window, and a gentle breeze rippled through it.

Medusa, dressed in a flowing, bright red gown, stood gracefully by the curtain, holding the soft and cuddly Xiao Xi'er firmly in her arms. Through the transparent protective shield, her beautiful, shimmering eyes took in every detail of the intimate scene on the deck where Xiao Ling and Zi Yan were embracing and kissing.

Her usually aloof and noble face showed a subtle change in expression, without a trace of displeasure. Instead, it held a gentleness that was almost imperceptible. Her long eyelashes drooped and then lifted slightly, her eyes reflecting the light flowing from the window, mixed with a hint of warmth and understanding. Her fingertips gently stroked the top of Xi'er's soft hair, her posture languid and gentle.

Nestled in Medusa's warm embrace, Xiao Xi'er leaned her head against the window, her bright almond-shaped eyes blinking as she clearly saw what had just happened. She then playfully nuzzled Medusa's neck, letting out a sweet, soft laugh.

"Mommy, Mommy, look! Daddy is kissing Godmother Ziyan! Hehe, when I went out with Daddy and Mommy before, I also saw Godmother Xian'er and Godmother Qinglin kissing Daddy, but the one I saw the most was Mommy and Daddy kissing! Every time, Daddy would hug Mommy and kiss her until Mommy's face turned red!"

As she spoke, the little girl stretched out her chubby little hand, pointed at Medusa's cheek, and smiled so hard that her eyes curved into crescent moons, her dimples sinking deep into her cheeks, looking innocent and charming.

Medusa, who had been able to maintain a calm demeanor, was taken aback by her beloved daughter's straightforward and innocent words. Her expression immediately became somewhat subtle, a mixture of shyness and helplessness, and she was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make.

She lowered her gaze to the bewildered little girl in her arms, gently tapping her forehead with her fingertip. Her tone carried a hint of reproach, yet also a touch of embarrassment.

"What are you staring at all day? These are adult matters, what right do you, a little kid, have to interfere? From now on, you are not allowed to stare at these things anymore, and you are not allowed to talk about these things so casually, or your mother will give you a good scolding."

Xiao Xi'er was slightly stunned by Medusa's words. Her big, bright eyes were full of confusion, and her little head tilted slightly. She obviously did not understand why her mother suddenly said such a thing, nor did she understand why she could not see or talk about adult matters.

But seeing Medusa's serious expression, she didn't dare ask any more questions. She quickly wiped the smile off her face, obediently snuggled into Medusa's arms, and her soft voice carried a hint of flattery.

"Mother, don't be angry, Xi'er understands. Since Mother won't let Xi'er see or talk about it, then Xi'er won't see or talk about it anymore. Xi'er listens to Mother the most."

Seeing her daughter so well-behaved and sensible, Medusa's embarrassment gradually faded, her expression softened, and she gently stroked the top of her daughter's soft hair with incredibly gentle touch. Her beautiful eyes were filled with doting warmth as she whispered,

"Yes, that's more like it. My little Xi'er is the most obedient and sensible..."

……

A short while later, the silvery-white spatial passage reached its end. The light suddenly spread out, and ripples spread across the void. The massive spaceship broke through the light curtain and hovered steadily above the Tianxing Mountains.

The faint pressure emanating from the ship swept down, and the magical beasts inhabiting the mountains sensed this powerful aura and immediately panicked, scattering and fleeing in all directions. In an instant, they disappeared into the dense forests and deep valleys, and the vast mountain range became much quieter.

Xiao Ling raised his hand and formed a hand seal. A flash of silver light appeared, and the enormous spaceship transformed into a ray of light, which he then stored in his storage ring. His movements were fluid and graceful, displaying complete composure.

He turned around, his gaze falling on Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and Ya Fei, and calmly gave the order.
"Now that you've arrived, the three of you can return to Starfall Pavilion to handle your own affairs. Oh, and please give my regards to Pavilion Master Fengxian, and also tell Junior Sister that I have some things to take care of and will be back at Starfall Pavilion soon."

As for Yao Chen and Xiao Diao, they had already bid farewell to everyone halfway and set off for the headquarters of the Pill Tower. There were still many complicated matters in the Spirit Talisman Hall that awaited their overall coordination and handling, and they could not afford to delay even for a moment.

As for Xiao Yan, he originally planned to visit Zhongzhou to try his luck and see if he could encounter any opportunities. However, Yao Chen dragged him to the Spirit Talisman Hall to help with affairs. After all, Xiao Yan had now learned the cultivation method of talisman masters and successfully entered the path of talisman masters, so he was already a member of the Spirit Talisman Hall.

At present, the Spirit Talisman Hall is busy with affairs and short of manpower. Xiao Yan himself is quite strong, and his talisman skills are also well-founded by his own soul power. Such a capable person should naturally be pulled to share some of the tasks within his ability.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to accept Yao Chen's instructions, so he suppressed his desire to take the opportunity to go out and explore, and obediently followed Yao Chen to the headquarters of the Pill Tower Spirit Talisman Hall.

After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, Yun Yun and the other two were curious about where he was going and what he was going to do next, but they were all sensible and wise enough not to ask any more questions.

Moreover, since they returned to the Gama Empire, they have been away from the Starfall Pavilion for quite some time now. Presumably, there are already many unfinished matters in the pavilion waiting for them to deal with upon their return.

After all, they are not like Xiao Ling and Xiao Yan, who hold high positions in the pavilion and are used to a life of leisure and freedom, able to come and go as they please.

They are all registered employees of the Starfall Pavilion and have fixed tasks. If they allow their tasks to be delayed or piling up, they will be punished according to the pavilion's rules.

After a hasty farewell to Xiao Ling and his group, Yun Yun and the other two did not linger. Each activated their inner battle qi, and with a swift movement, their three figures transformed into streaks of light, hurtling towards the spatial node leading to the entrance of the Starfall Pavilion deep within the Tianxing Mountains. Once Yun Yun and the others were far away, it was time to part again. Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Zi Yan, who was clinging to his arm, and gently stroked her soft, long hair, his tone full of concern and care.
"Ziyan, once you return to Gulong Island, do everything within your capabilities. Don't exhaust yourself with clan affairs. If you encounter any difficult situations, don't try to tough it out. Just send me a message anytime."

Upon hearing the words of parting, Zi Yan's eyes instantly filled with reluctance, and her expression dimmed slightly. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around Xiao Ling's robes. However, as the Dragon Queen of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Taixu, she bore the heavy responsibility of her race. Despite her deep longing, she could only suppress it, and nodded firmly, saying earnestly...

"I understand. Be careful when you go to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Do not act rashly. If you encounter any trouble that you cannot resolve, be sure to activate the Dragon Seal to summon me immediately. I will definitely come right away."

Seeing the undisguised sadness in her eyes, Xiao Ling chuckled softly, gently stroked her nose, and then tenderly caressed her hair with his palm, soothing her with a gentle voice.

"Alright, don't be so sullen. It's not like we'll never see each other again. Besides, Xi'er will be going to Gulong Island with you. You, as her godmother, will have to take care of this little one's daily life."

Xiao Xi'er, who was being held in Medusa's arms, saw that her godmother Zi Yan looked unhappy and immediately looked up at her with a soft, sweet voice to comfort her.

"Godmother Ziyan, don't be sad! Xi'er will go to Gulong Island with you. Afterwards, Godmother will take Xi'er to see all the good places on Gulong Island and give Xi'er lots and lots of delicious food!"

After saying that, the little girl couldn't wait to open her chubby arms towards Ziyan, and kept leaning her little body towards her.

Seeing this, Medusa smiled faintly, raised her arm slightly, and steadily handed Xiao Xi'er in her arms to Zi Yan, her eyes full of gentleness.

Xiao Ling's original purpose for this trip was to go to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan on business. The situation there was complicated and fraught with hidden dangers, so it was not appropriate to bring the young Xi'er along. After much deliberation, he decided to entrust Xi'er to Gulong Island and have Zi Yan take care of her.

Seeing how sweet and obedient Xiao Xi'er was, and how she was so focused on making her happy, Zi Yan's heart warmed instantly. Most of her previous sorrow dissipated. She immediately reached out and took Xiao Xi'er, gently lifting her high, making the little girl giggle. Then she held her steadily in her arms, gently scratching her chin with her fingertips, and said with a smile,
"Xi'er is such a good girl. Don't worry about following your godmother. From now on on Gulong Island, your godmother will make sure you live a comfortable life, eating and drinking well. It's much more comfortable than suffering with your father through wind and rain!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling's lips twitched violently, filled with helplessness. He was a dignified ninth-grade alchemist with a wealthy background, and he doted on his precious daughter, providing her with the best of everything. He couldn't bear to let her suffer even the slightest grievance. But Zi Yan had the audacity to say that he made his daughter suffer, which was utter nonsense.

Medusa then stepped forward slowly, gently stroking Xi'er's soft hair with her jade fingers. Her beautiful eyes were full of instructions and tenderness as she said softly, "Xi'er, from now on, you must behave well and be obedient while following your godmother Ziyan on Gulong Island. You must not be willful or mischievous, and you must not cause trouble for your godmother."

Xiao Xi'er nodded emphatically, nuzzled her head against Zi Yan's neck, and then looked up at Medusa with a sweet, earnest voice.
"Don't worry, Mother, I'll be a good girl! Mother, you need to finish your work quickly so you can come to Gulong Island to be with me as soon as possible!"

Although she was still young, Xi'er was intelligent and sensible. Even though she had to be separated from her mother who had been with her day and night, she endured the reluctance in her heart, without crying or making a fuss, and just opened her clear eyes to look forward to the reunion.

Looking at her daughter's obedient appearance, Medusa felt a surge of tenderness in her heart, a smile spreading across her face. She gently stroked the soft down on her daughter's cheek and said softly,

"Don't worry, Mother will finish up what she has to do as soon as possible, and then go to Gulong Island to spend time with my precious Xi'er."

Despite saying this, Medusa knew in her heart that this trip was to the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan to receive the inheritance, and that the process would definitely take a long time. This separation would likely mean being apart from her daughter for a long time.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling will go to Ancient Dragon Island to take care of Xi'er after he finishes dealing with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. In addition, his daughter is always sensible and should be able to adapt to life on Ancient Dragon Island, which will reduce her worries.

After giving her some instructions and saying goodbye, Zi Yan didn't linger any longer. With a flick of her jade hand, she tore open a space passage shimmering with silver light. She hugged Xiao Xi'er tightly, turned back to wave at Xiao Ling and Medusa, and her figure instantly disappeared into the passage. With a flash of silver light, the passage closed and she vanished completely from their sight.

Xiao Ling suddenly felt the jade hand in his palm clench even tighter. He turned his head and saw Medusa gazing in the direction where the passage had disappeared, her beautiful eyes filled with lingering concern.

He raised his hand and held her slightly cool hand tightly in his palm, smiling as he gently comforted her.

"Don't worry too much. Xi'er is a smart and sensible girl. She's very perceptive and will definitely adapt well to life on Ancient Dragon Island. She was so well-behaved just now, so she probably guessed something, but she's just too sensible to say it. So don't underestimate our precious daughter. From now on, you can focus on receiving the inheritance of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan. Don't worry about anything. I'll take care of everything."

Medusa slowly came to her senses upon hearing this, and nodded gently as she looked in the direction where the spatial passage had disappeared.

Since Xi'er was born, she had been by her side day and night without ever being separated from her. Now that they were suddenly separated, even someone as composed as her couldn't help but feel empty and uncomfortable.

But as the supreme queen of the snake people, she was already used to suppressing her emotions. In a short while, she suppressed her worries and her eyes regained their usual cold and resolute look.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Xiao Ling did not delay any longer.

According to the spatial coordinates of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's territory previously provided by Zi Yan, he focused his power in his palm, his fingertips intertwining with battle qi and soul power, and with a fierce slash in the air, a spatial passage with brilliant silver patterns in the darkness was formed. The passage was filled with flowing light and steadily connected to the target location.

He turned and took Medusa's hand, then nodded to Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin who were standing quietly to the side. He then led the group into the passage, and their figures were instantly swallowed up by the flowing light in the passage, leaving only the empty sky above the Tianxing Mountains, where the spatial fluctuations gradually subsided.

On the last day of 2025, I wish all my dear readers that in 2026 all your wishes will come true and all your paths will be smooth. (End of this chapter)
