A Diary of a Character in Battle Through the Heavens! The Female Characters Have Gone Wrong!

Chapter 75 Even a Heavenly Emperor is Afraid of His Wife
"I recently managed to break through by sheer luck."

Chu Xiao withdrew his fighting spirit and picked up a cup.

"Good lad!" Xiao Ding was overjoyed. "Among the four of us, you and Xiao Yanzi have the best talent, but you are limited by the level of your cultivation technique and the attribute of your battle qi. Your cultivation speed is only a little faster than our second brother. We have always felt sorry for you."

"When you said you wanted to stay in the family for Xiao Yanzi, we advised you to go to Canaan Academy, hoping that you could find a more advanced cultivation method and not waste your talent."

"I didn't expect you to break through to the Great Dou Master at only eighteen years old. It seems you had some extraordinary encounters while staying in the clan. That's good."

“There was indeed a bit of a fortuitous encounter.” Chu Xiao casually waved his hand and took out two scrolls, tossing them to Xiao Li: “One is a mid-level Xuan-rank lightning attribute technique called Xuan Lei Jue. Once mastered, it can transform the entire body’s fighting spirit into Xuan Lei, giving it lightning-like offensive properties. The other is a low-level Xuan-rank fighting skill called Ben Lei Zhang. Second brother, you should start practicing these.”

The Profound Thunder Technique is a weakened version he created by referring to his partially completed Wind and Thunder Classic, removing the cultivation content related to wind attributes, and relying on his strong comprehension.

As for the Thunderclap Palm, it is one of the legacies of that Dou Zong from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

"A mid-level wood-attribute Xuan-rank combat skill, Blue Silver Grass Entanglement, cough, Yi Wood Qi!" Chu Xiao picked up his teacup and took a sip to cover up the embarrassment of mispronouncing the name before continuing, "A combat skill that can be used for both support and offense. It transforms wood-attribute combat energy into Qi vines that can restrict a person's movements and hinder the flow of combat energy."

This technique is also a legacy of the Dou Sect.

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." It's not that he was unwilling to give away better cultivation techniques, but that giving away good cultivation techniques would actually bring danger to the two Xiao brothers.

Out of consideration for their past relationship and kinship, he was willing to help them out, but he didn't want to act as their caretaker or protector.

It would be more appropriate to provide them with higher-level cultivation techniques and fighting skills once they become stronger, or once the Xiao family as a whole becomes stronger and can be relied upon as a backer.

From a utilitarian perspective, this also makes it easier for him to establish a persona in his notes and deceive those who own the copies.

Even so, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li felt the scroll in their hands was burning hot, and they were speechless for a moment.

"If you two brothers are so moved that you want to shed a few drops of cat pee, I wouldn't mind taking a look." Chu Xiao looked at the two of them with a playful expression.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, then simultaneously put away the scroll and made their move together.

One hugged Chu Xiao, while the other deliberately ruffled his hair.

"Xiao Li, you actually ruined my hair! Do you believe I'll fight you to the death?"

"Let me tell you, I am a Grand Dou Master, don't force me to take action."

The three brothers made a ruckus for a while before finally stopping and starting to talk about serious matters.

"Big brother, second brother, I won't be staying in Stone Desert City for long. I need to go back to Wutan City to work with my uncle and aunt to deal with those two treacherous dogs, and then I'll go to Canaan Academy to study." Chu Xiao poured tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "Do you want me to help you take care of this Sand Mercenary Group?"

"Has Mother recovered from her injuries?" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were overjoyed, their biggest concern being Fang Yi's health.

“Isn’t Xiao Yanzi a disciple of a sixth-grade alchemist?” Chu Xiao nodded slightly. “That senior will refine the pills, and Aunt will recover quickly and her cultivation will advance further.”

“Okay.” The two Xiao brothers nodded happily. Xiao Ding tapped his fingers on his thigh: “With Mother recovered and Xiao Zi and Father around, my second brother and I don’t need to go back to join the fun. We can focus on building the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.”

“The three of you have better cultivation talent than me and love to roam outside. The position of clan leader can only be mine. Second brother, you will take charge of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and build a new direct lineage for my Xiao family.”

"How confident are you in dealing with that Sand Mercenary Group?" Xiao Ding asked Chu Xiao.

“If we go to war, we have a 100% chance of winning. The Desert Iron Mercenary Group will also suffer losses, but we can gain valuable experience.” Chu Xiao offered two options: “Or I can kill Rob, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, and take a few Battle Masters with me. In that case, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group will be the undisputed number one in Stone Desert City. How it develops after that will be up to you two brothers.”

The two brothers immediately discussed it and finally chose the second option.

The first option offers enormous benefits: it can eliminate a major obstacle in one fell swoop, establish the reputation of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, and allow them to inherit all of the other party's resources. The downside is that their own mercenary group suffers numerous casualties and it will also arouse the suspicion and even warnings of the Stone Desert City Lord's Mansion.

The Gama Empire is, after all, the empire of the Gama royal family. The City Lord's Mansion is the true controller of Stone Desert City and does not allow the various civilian forces within the city to act recklessly. Otherwise, with the strength of Grandmaster Rob, there would be no way for other mercenary groups to develop.

The second type of benefit is generally not significant in the short term; the Sand Mercenary Group has only lost its biggest backer, but it is still there.

The advantage is that the Mo Tie Mercenary Group has become the strongest civilian force in the city, and with its good reputation, it can enter a phase of rapid development; the two brothers also have time to master the newly acquired techniques and improve their own strength.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were very confident in their scheming and planning, and believed they could resolve the Sand Mercenary Group's situation almost perfectly.

“Okay, then I’ll find some time tonight to take Rob to see his great-grandmother.” Chu Xiao nodded calmly.

"You're eighteen and can drink now. I was planning to drink with you until we were both drunk tonight," Xiao Li said with great enthusiasm.

"No problem, I can drink it after I finish dealing with the people." Chu Xiao smiled calmly.

Paying tribute to Guan Yu.

How about a "warm wine and beheading" style of martial arts?
"Hiss." Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were startled.

How come it sounds easier for him to kill a Grand Master of the same realm than for them to deal with a Dou Zhe?

"We'll find out tonight." Chu Xiao yawned. "Big brother, arrange a room for me. I flew here from Wutan City and spent the night here. I'm a little sleepy." With nothing else to do, he decided to meditate on his notes to enhance his soul power and cultivate for a while to improve his cultivation level.

"Flying over?" The two Xiao brothers were shocked.

“Yes, I can fly.” Chu Xiao made a flying gesture with his hand.

The two Xiao brothers: "."

This younger brother still loves watching jokes.

"I'll arrange it right away." Xiao Ding nodded with a faint smile.

"Oh, right." Chu Xiao seemed to remember something and said, "If you're going to arrange a maid for me, then bring the one who brought me here today. Her name is Qing Lin. The little girl looks so pitiful."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li laughed and said, "Xiao Zi, you haven't taken a fancy to that young lady, have you? Will Xun'er agree?"

"Xun'er isn't here again," Chu Xiao said nonchalantly.

"I'll write a letter right away." Xiao Ding took out paper and pen from his storage ring.

"Don't even think about it." Chu Xiao grabbed his hand and said irritably, "You guys are so unfair to your brother. What could I possibly have feelings for a girl who's not even fourteen?"

The two Xiao brothers: "."

It seems Xun'er is only fifteen years old, so you two are also in a relationship too.

[I'm impressed. In my past life, when I was with the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, it was Qing Lin who brought me water to wash my face in the morning. It was my eldest and second eldest brothers who decided to arrange this maid for me. At the time, I joked that they were trying to frame me, and I'm afraid Xun'er would be angry if she found out.]

"I'm not some jealous woman!" Xun'er thought to herself.

If she were so easily angered, she would have had Ling Ying kill Medusa, Yun Yun, and Little Fairy Doctor long ago.

Or she could crush the jade slip and have her father take her home, never to have anything to do with this philandering man again.

This time, I volunteered to have Qinglin as my maid, and they teased me, asking if I had taken a fancy to the girl and if I was afraid Xun'er would find out.

[If this were my past life, I probably wouldn't be afraid then, since I still treated Xun'er like a younger sister. But in this life, I'm still afraid. Being afraid of your wife is normal; it's a sign of a good man. But if I don't say it, no one will know.]

"Pfft~"

In a small courtyard of the Xiao family in Wutan City, Xun'er, sitting in the yard, covered her mouth and laughed.

All the flowers in the garden paled in comparison to her radiant and stunning beauty.

"Brother Chu Xiao, now Xun'er knows everything."

A pretty pink blush appeared on Xun'er's face.

Brother Chu Xiao calls her "wife"~
Unfortunately, it's not exclusively hers.

"Henpecked?"

Medusa, who was hiding somewhere in the headquarters of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, sat with her knees crossed.

Thinking back to how Chu Xiao was with her, it seemed like she really did have that feeling.

"No, I am not his wife."

Meanwhile, in Cao City of Dan Domain, Cao Ying was very excited.

The future Heavenly Emperor is actually afraid of his wife; she has firsthand information about this scandal.

With such leverage over him, wouldn't this man have the upper hand?
"Emperor Chu, you didn't want this either."

Jie Jie Jie.

"Ha, how ridiculous, a Heavenly Emperor is actually afraid of his wife."

Within the territory of the Starfall Pavilion, in a city that received guests, Feng Qing'er stood on a high platform with her arms crossed, her face showing arrogance.

As soon as she finished speaking, a lively and melodious voice rang out from behind her.

"Who's afraid of their wife?"
