Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 919 Xun'er: Winning against Nalan Ruoruo is easy, isn't it?
The next day, early morning.

As expected, the distinguished motorcade arrived as scheduled.

The girl, dressed in a moon-white robe, sat at the head of the table. Her sea-blue twin ponytails swayed like a waterfall, causing the jade pendants on her delicate earlobes to jingle crisply. Every move she made attracted everyone's attention.

"Uncle, it's been a long time."

Her lips curved slightly, revealing a proud smile that could outshine even the brightest sun.

Xiao Zhan was equally stunned, thinking to himself that Nalan Su was truly blessed to have such a beautiful daughter who was unrecognizable as her parents.

If she were to become the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, wouldn't her mother be so happy that she would jump up from her sickbed?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan hurriedly and frantically winked at the boy who was huddled in the corner, lost in thought.

No fruit.

He cursed that blockhead brat in his heart, but having no other choice, as the head of the family and his father, he had to bite the bullet and go over there.

The atmosphere in the hall quickly became cheerful and harmonious.

The girl was surprisingly talkative, and Xiao Zhan wanted to ask about her birth date and time—although the two were betrothed since childhood, they were not born on the same day.

Between the capital and Utan City stands the Monster Mountain Range, but the Monster Mountain Range not only separates the two places, but also the world itself.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Yan."

The girl in the purple dress next to her seemed a little dissatisfied, pouting, "Staring at other girls is a very impolite thing to do."

"Ah—really?"

Xiao Yan suddenly snapped out of his reverie, scratching his head awkwardly. "Sorry, sorry, I was a little distracted."

"Distracted?" Xun'er snorted lightly, ruthlessly exposing her: "But you stared at her for half an hour, which is already considered being a pervert."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but found himself unable to refute it.

After all, this is truly bizarre. Things like "Swapping lives, my current fiancée became my ex-fiancée!" and "My ex-fiancée was dumped, and now my current fiancée is following in her footsteps!"
If I were to really explain it, I'd probably talk on and on for three days and three nights and still not finish.

Moreover, even if Xiao Yan explained it, Xun'er probably wouldn't be able to process such a large amount of information in a short time.

"As for my fiancée, it's alright to stare at her for a while, right?"

After a brainstorming session, Xiao Yan suddenly blurted out this sentence as if possessed.

This time, Xun'er was unable to refute it.

"."

Looking at the innocent-looking boy, Xun'er's pupils dilated in shock, and the words she had prepared were swallowed back down her throat.

Golden Emperor's Heavenly Flame, Shattering Illusion!

It wasn't possessed.

Hey, that's really weird.
After trying it out, Xun'er finally decided to try twin ponytails again.

Unlike Xiao Yan and Xun'er, who each had their own thoughts, Ruoruo, who was in the center of the seat, seemed to be in high spirits.

Hmph, I've finally found you, Chosen One!

Ruoruo's gaze casually fell on the boy in the corner, her expression unchanged, but inwardly she wished she could raise her little nose high.

That's right, like Xiao Yan, she is also a time traveler.

Although fate played a cruel joke on her, fortunately she didn't lose her previous memories and was reborn into a top power in the Central Plains. She has lived a comfortable life for many years and had no choice but to accept it.

After all, being a time traveler and adventuring alongside the protagonist, getting to know them before the finale, is much better than agonizing over whether to find a man or a woman.

At worst, I'll never find a partner in my life.

After much deliberation, Ruoruo, who had secretly altered her age in her family records, took advantage of the time when she was released during her coming-of-age ceremony to visit this classic and timeless place.

However, although her soul power is now astonishing, reaching the early stage of the Spirit Realm, it is still impossible for her to command the winds and rains in Wutan City.

That woman, Xiao Xun'er, is Ruoruo's biggest enemy on this trip!

As a transmigrator who knew Xiao Yan's people well, Ruoruo naturally couldn't be unaware of Xun'er's identity and background.

In this situation, if one were to approach Xiao Yan as a stranger, one would inevitably be met with his vigilance and scheming, or even the malice of the entire Ancient Clan!

Ruoruo wouldn't dare to provoke those old fogies.

That is why she used the secret technique 'Fragrance Fades Away' to alter a small part of people's perceptions, thus replacing Nalan Yanran and becoming the current 'Nalan Ruoruo' who fulfills the marriage contract.

In this way, she can not only follow Xiao Yan on his adventures and make her presence known in every place, but also help him at crucial moments and prevent things she doesn't like from happening.

Even if we take a step back and assume that this guy takes a liking to me, I can still use someone else's identity to stay out of the shadows, which is a win-win situation.

Isn't that a wonderful thing?

“I’m so smart!”

Ruoruo secretly rejoiced.

"Cough!" Just then, the white-robed old man beside the girl couldn't stand it any longer and coughed suddenly.

"Waaah!"

The sudden noise startled Ruoruo, who was engrossed in her plan, causing her to instinctively shrink back.

This is a sign that she is afraid.

"Ruo Ruo, don't forget why we came here."

The old man named Ge Ye lowered his voice and reminded him.

"What brings you here?"

Ruoruo slapped her forehead, looking a little flustered, "Oh, right, right, why did we come!"

He got so engrossed in chatting with Xiao Yan's father that he almost mistook him for his own father.

How could we forget about the important matters?
Seeing the startled girl, Ge Ye's eyes grew increasingly puzzled. He felt that her behavior was strange and far removed from the young sect leader he remembered.

Helpless, he had no choice but to stand up and said with an awkward smile, "Clan Chief Xiao, the reason I came to your family this time is that my Yunlan Sect has a favor to ask of you."

"Hehe, Mr. Ge Ye, please speak freely. With my niece Ruoruo here, the Xiao family will naturally grant any request!"

Xiao Zhan burst out laughing, patting his chest as if to assure everyone.

Upon hearing this, not only Xiao Yan, but even the three elders who had always disliked the father and son were somewhat astonished.

Ten years had passed, and this was the first time they had ever seen Xiao Zhan so excited.

The last time he was so overjoyed was when the genius boy awakened his fighting spirit and happened to save the sickly woman, thus averting a tragedy.

"cough"

Ge Ye's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, but remembering the sect leader's affection for 'Nalan Ruoruo', he could only grit his teeth and smile, "Clan Leader Xiao, as you know, the Yunlan Sect has a strict discipline, and Ruoruo happens to be the next young sect leader."

"Due to certain special rules, a sect leader's successor must not have any entanglements with men before becoming the official sect leader."

In an instant, the joyful atmosphere turned into deathly silence.

Xiao Zhan's smile froze, and he instantly gripped the teacup in his hand tightly.

Seeing this, Ruoruo smiled slightly, knowing that it was her turn to step in.

In her memory, Nalan Yanran's public annulment of the engagement, while enabling Xiao Yan to successfully break away from the previous marriage and establish himself, inevitably damaged the reputations of Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan.

This was not a scene she liked.

Even if the reputation of a genius has long been tarnished, the youthful spirit should still be the most precious treasure in the world that should never be forgotten.

Nalan Yanran didn't care for this treasure, but Ruoruo was determined to have it.

She slowly stood up, revealing what she considered to be her most perfect smile, and then looked in Xiao Yan's direction. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Yan, who had also stood up, spoke first.

"So, you've come to break off the engagement?"

".Eh?"

"Since that's the case, then so be it, let's resolve it as you wish."

Xiao Yan's expression was strange, and he even seemed to want to laugh.

On one side is a fake marriage contract, and on the other side is the real Ruoruo. He must be out of his mind to make the wrong choice.

"Yan'er, you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan was shocked and almost crushed the teacup in his hand. The Xiao clan members beside him were stunned and seemed to need to re-evaluate the stubborn Xiao Yan.

It must be understood that even if everyone looks down on Xiao Yan and belittles him, they have to admit that the young man who treats and recuperates for his mother day after day does indeed possess an extraordinary persistence and ruthlessness.

Now that things have come to this, facing the Nalan family's annulment of the engagement, his actions have undoubtedly made everyone disgusted.

Ge Ye and the others from Yunlan Sect were overjoyed and hurriedly urged, "Ruo Ruo, why don't you quickly thank Young Master Xiao?"

They were not members of the Xiao family, so no matter how spineless Xiao Yan was, it had nothing to do with them. On the contrary, the more spineless Xiao Yan was, the easier it would be for him to break off the engagement. The fact that Xiao Yan was now backing down was exactly what they wanted.

"Yes, but!"

Ruo Ruo's eyes started to dart around, and even her speech became unclear at this moment.

"I...I...I...I didn't say I wanted to call off the engagement!"

This guy is completely different from how he's described in the book!

The Xiao family hall was filled with shock, and no one dared to move. Only a girl in a purple dress with pigtails, who had somehow gotten her hair tied up in pigtails, breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a calm smile.

win.
