Battle Through the Heavens: I had no intention of getting involved, but a yandere beauty stuck to my

As he spoke, Xiao Yan placed his hand on Xiao Miao and began circulating his Dou Qi.

"The third stage of Dou Dou Qi?!"

Xiao Yan's tone was filled with surprise and shock.

"Everyone says I'm a genius with a 7th-level Dou Qi, but compared to you, Xiao Miao, I'm far inferior."

"Maybe I absorbed battle qi more easily when I first started learning it, but it slowed down later."

"Who can reach the third stage of Dou Qi upon first contact?" Xiao Yan thought to himself.

He then deflated, seemingly discouraged by Xiao Miao.

"Xiao Miao, Xiao Yan, the clan leader wants you to assemble in the main hall."

The servant outside the door pushed open the door and said.

"coming."

"coming."

Xiao Miao followed slowly behind Xiao Yan.

"Father Xiao treated me like his own son. If I ever have the chance to cultivate to a high level, I will definitely repay the Xiao family. I wonder when Xiao will wake up."

Xiao Miao thought to himself, and soon arrived at the family hall.

The middle-aged man who came into view had a handsome face and a gentle smile on his lips as he talked to Xiao Zhan.

However, it seems that Xiao Zhan has lowered his stance.

Looks like he's a big shot.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Miao, come here quickly. This is your Uncle Gu. You two take Xun'er to visit the Xiao family."

Xiao Zhan gestured and sent the two people over.

"Hello, Uncle Gu."

Xiao Miao greeted Xiao Yan and then looked at the person behind the middle-aged man.

Xiao Miao glanced at her and saw that she looked about the same age as Xiao Yan, just a cute little girl.

At this moment, Xun'er also looked towards the Xiao brothers. When she saw Xiao Miao behind her, her eyes lit up. She had been a little timid at first, but after hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and, as if she had mustered up her courage, spoke in a childish voice:

"Father, this little girl is so pretty! Can you be my little sister?"

Xun'er first looked at her father behind her, then looked at Xiao Miao with hope in her eyes.

Little did she know that these words struck Xiao Miao’s fragile heart directly. Because of her gentle appearance, she was often mistaken for a girl, and she always stayed indoors. She even had servants bring her meals, so not many people in the Xiao family had seen her face.

She had originally planned to show this person around, but suddenly lost interest and walked away, intending to go back to her room.

Seeing this, Xun'er was also stunned, her little face full of confusion, as if she didn't understand why the prettiest little sister in front of her was ignoring her, and couldn't help but look at her father.

“Xun’er, actually, A-Miao is a boy. He doesn’t like people treating him like a girl, but you can recognize him as your younger brother.”

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's pitiful state, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but explain, otherwise she would probably burst into tears in a little while.

Chapter 2 is shocking

Upon hearing this, Xun'er turned her head toward Xiao Yan, blinked, and seemed somewhat incredulous.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan nodded helplessly, proving that it was true.

"Xun'er, let me take you to visit the Xiao family."

Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er and asked.

Xiao Xun'er was still thinking about the stunningly handsome younger brother from earlier when she heard Xiao Yan's question and looked at her father.

He was looking at him with a smile, and after nodding slightly, he readily agreed and followed Xiao Yan around the Xiao family compound.

Looking at Xiao Xun'er following behind him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Including Xiao Miao, they were already four brothers. Although Xiao Miao was prettier than a girl, it wasn't really true.

Xiao Yan thought about it and decided that it would be better to have another real younger sister.

Xiao Miao sat cross-legged in her room, constantly flipping through the inherited cultivation techniques in her mind. She looked left and right, but almost all the techniques she saw were for dual cultivation. This made Xiao Miao's fair face blush, and at the same time, a question arose in her mind:

"Why are they all this kind of cultivation method?"

After searching for a while and finding that most of them were like this, Xiao Miao thought about the cultivation techniques in the inheritance that had been half-read and couldn't help but purse his lips. Oh well, he would wait until he broke through to the Dou Zhe level before looking for them again.

That night, the lights in the Xiao family compound were already off, but Xiao Miao in the ancestral hall had just finished his cultivation.

"That's... Third Brother?"

As Xiao Miao walked from the ancestral hall toward his courtyard, he saw a furtive figure looming about.

It looks like Xiao Yan?

"What are you doing out there in the middle of the night, Third Brother?"

Xiao Miao muttered to himself as he followed.

Seeing Xiao Yan climbing over the wall, Xiao Miao was quite surprised.

This is?

"Third Brother!"

Xiao Miao called out to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan swayed and then fell to the ground.

"Damn it, who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yan rubbed his bottom and turned around, about to start cursing, only to find... a child a little shorter than him wearing a white fox mask.

"It's me, Xiao Miao."

As Xiao Miao spoke, she took the mask off her face.

"I had just finished my cultivation at the ancestral hall and was on my way back to rest when I saw a suspicious figure looming around. As I got closer, I felt like it was my third brother, but I wasn't sure. So I called out to him, 'Third brother, what are you doing here?'"

Upon hearing Xiao Miao's description of him as acting suspiciously, Xiao Yan couldn't help but rub the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I'm just wandering around, I'll be leaving soon if there's nothing else to do. But you, why are you suddenly wearing a mask? It's kind of scary late at night."

"I think that if I just hear my voice, no one will mistake my gender."

Upon hearing Xiao Miao's reason, Xiao Yan's lips twitched involuntarily; it did make some sense.

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly and stepped forward to gently rub Xiao Miao's collagen-rich face.

"As expected of my brother, this feels great. Speaking of which, don't slack off in your training, or you'll fall far behind me."

"Okay, I understand, Third Brother. I've already reached the fifth level of Battle Qi."

"5-5 dan?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Miao's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

A mere fifth-level Dou Qi in a single day—it seems our Xiao family has produced a monster.

No, I can't fall behind. I need to go back and cultivate too.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yan bid farewell to Xiao Miao and prepared to return to cultivate all night.

Xiao Yan originally intended to sneak into Xiao Xun'er's residence to use his Dou Qi to nourish her meridians and increase her favor, but he was caught red-handed by Xiao Miao. In order to maintain his image, he could only laugh it off and leave.

Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Xiao Miao glanced at the wall he had just been about to climb over. Inside was another large courtyard, but he remembered that it had been empty and no one had lived there before.

Hmm, never mind, I need to hurry back. I still have to cultivate tomorrow and strive to break through to the Dou Zhe level as soon as possible.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Miao also started walking away.

He didn't notice the person watching him from the sky; if someone had seen him, they would have been astonished.

The ability to transform battle qi into wings is a technique at least at the Battle King level, yet it has now appeared above a family compound in the small city of Wutan.

The figure in the sky was Ling Ying, Xiao Xun'er's protector.

"At such a young age, to have reached the fifth level of Dou Qi just after being exposed to Dou Qi, it is probably only possible for those prodigies in the clan to achieve this."

Ling Ying, flying high in the sky, looked shocked and muttered to himself, clearly having overheard the Xiao brothers' conversation.

The next day, Xiao Miao was summoned to the family hall again. After being examined by the patriarch and three elders, it was determined that his cultivation was genuine and his foundation was stable, without any superficiality.

"Good, good, good, Heaven has blessed my Xiao family."

"With Xiao Miao's talent, she may be able to reach the Dou Huang realm in the future. Even now, the sect master of Yunlan Sect, the number one sect in the Jia Ma Empire, is only a Dou Huang."

"Yes, my Xiao family is determined to rise to prominence."

Seeing the four people who usually didn't get along now all smiles, Xiao Miao wisely didn't interrupt their daydreams.

Since that day, Xiao Miao's reputation spread throughout the Xiao family, and he and Xiao Yan were known as the "Two Peerless Xiaos".

Xiao Miao, however, is more famous, not only because of his strength, but also because he always wears a white fox mask. It is said that no one except his close friends has ever seen his face, which has attracted widespread attention and speculation about Xiao Miao has spread widely.

Some say his face beneath the mask is so ugly it's unbearable to look at; others say he's as handsome as a banished immortal, untouchable.

From then on, Xiao Miao's appearance became a source of more suspicion than his abilities.

As time went by, Xiao Miao cultivated more and more diligently each day, afraid that he would fall behind in his cultivation time.
