Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey - Chapter 542
Early the next morning, Xiao Yan appeared in front of the two sisters with panda eyes and a sallow face.
Despite his poor condition, the little boy was very excited. From an outsider’s perspective, Xiao Yan looked like a small lunatic just released from a mental institution.
“Xun’er, cousin, did you know? I’ve reached Dou Qi stage one!”
Just as Xiao Yan excitedly tried to grab Xun’er’s hand, Kurumi silently pulled Xun’er behind her.
“Pervert!”
“What?” Xiao Yan was bewildered.
“I’m going to tell Uncle Xiao that his son is a pervert!”
Having not slept well and feeling mentally chaotic, Xiao Yan panicked, “No, Mo’er, cousin! I was just too excited just now! Really! Cousin, you have to believe me!”
Xiao Yan watched the two sisters leave and sighed. It was hard enough to succeed, and now he couldn’t even find someone to share his joy with.
It was supposed to be a super joyful moment, so how did it turn out like this?
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of the small animals living in the back mountain!
With a neurotic smile on his sallow face, he thought, “I heard Dou Qi can nourish the meridians. Looks like I have some experimental subjects!”
That day, miserable cries echoed from the back mountain, scaring Xun’er away from playing by the lake.
That night, Kurumi and Xun’er had moved out of the room next to Xiao Yan’s. Xun’er was very satisfied with the “new home.”
She no longer had to hear Xiao Yan’s heart-wrenching screams from next door.
Just as Xun’er finished her bath and was about to have a good night’s sleep, she found her sister smiling mysteriously at her.
The little girl felt uneasy, quickly recalling everything she had done that day.
‘I didn’t steal any malt candy, didn’t do anything bad!’
Feeling confident, Xun’er puffed out her chest, “Sister, is there something you need?”
“Of course, I’m here to help you cultivate.”
…
Half an hour passed, and the little girl’s face began to show impatience. An hour passed, and she was about to go crazy!
Two hours later, she felt lifeless.
Her soft body half-lying on the bed, with her beautiful eyes shifting, Xun’er turned over, pouting, “Sister, sister, can I cultivate tomorrow? I really can’t find the Qi sensation now.”
“Tomorrow?”
“Yes.” Xun’er nodded hurriedly, looking expectantly at Kurumi.
“No way!” Kurumi’s face turned serious, “Nighttime is the easiest time to draw energy into the body. If you don’t draw Qi into your body tonight, forget about sleeping!”
Seeing her “fierce” sister, Xun’er pouted, her big eyes almost filling with tears.
Kurumi remained unmoved, “That trick doesn’t work on me. Go and cultivate!”
“Hmph!”
The little girl tossed her hair, deliberately turning her back on Kurumi, sitting cross-legged on the bed, trying hard to sense the free energy around her.
Kurumi’s crimson eyes reflected Xun’er’s small back. She felt quite helpless.
How was Xun’er’s talent? Extremely strong! In the original story, she was almost the most talented of the young generation on the continent!
Compared to Xiao Yan? Without the mysterious Flame Mantra and the Xiao Clan’s bloodline power, Xiao Yan couldn’t match Xun’er!
How did Xiao Yan refine his bloodline in the ancient tomb? Wasn’t it through Xun’er’s divine bloodline?
Although in this life, the little girl’s foundation was damaged by her dominant source power, sensing the free energy around and drawing Dou Qi into her body was simple!
The little girl was playful. By the time of the Xiao Clan’s coming-of-age ceremony, she was only a one-star Dou Zhe on the surface!
Xun’er hid her strength, which is undeniable, but how much could she hide? In the original story, to kill a trash alchemist named Liu Xi, she even had to use a secret technique.
The environment dictates growth. Kurumi did not argue against this. If Xun’er stayed in the Xiao family for more than ten years and still turned out as weak as in the original story, Kurumi would have no face to see anyone.
Thinking of Xun’er’s years in the Xiao family, eating, drinking, playing, and only thinking about Xiao Yan, such high talent was almost wasted.
No wonder Gu Yuan often wanted Xun’er to return. It wasn’t just because of the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony but also because the young people in the clan, starting from Dou Huang, had Dou Zong level as their basic strength.
And Xun’er? Dou Ling? Or Dou Wang?
As the daughter of the Gu clan leader and the current holder of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, such strength would invite criticism!
Kurumi looked at the little girl in front of her, who seemed to be possessed by a drama queen and stopped refining her bloodline. Using her powerful sense of Qi, she guided the free energy in the air.
The little girl, who was daydreaming, suddenly found that her surroundings were filled with energy! Her soul power casually touched a strand, and it quickly poured into her body!
“Ah! Xun’er did it!”
“Focus and calm down!”
Hearing her sister’s words, Xun’er quickly guided the energy towards the area three inches below her navel, where the “Dou Qi whirlpool” was located.
Although it was not yet time to form the Dou Qi whirlpool, Xun’er unconsciously operated according to the whirlpool’s rotation direction.
“Ha!” Xun’er opened her eyes and hugged Kurumi from behind, “Sister, sister, I did it! Xun’er did it!”
“Yes, yes.”
Kurumi helplessly looked at the extremely excited little girl, whose soft, small body rubbed back and forth against her, causing the blood threads she had painstakingly removed to return to the golden droplets.
“Alright, alright, since you succeeded, hurry up and sleep. You have to continue cultivating tomorrow.”
“Two young ladies.”
A voice suddenly appeared in the room. Kurumi glanced over and asked, “Lin Lao, what’s the matter?”
“Miss, it seems that Master Xiao Yan is heading this way.”
Kurumi frowned, “So late, why is he coming?”
“Uh…” The elder’s voice was somewhat embarrassed, “Master Xiao Yan seems to want to climb over the wall.”
“Climb over the wall?”
Kurumi thought of the original story, where Xiao Yan went to Xun’er’s boudoir to “experiment with Dou Qi” and nourish her meridians.
Her mouth curved into a cold smile.
“Miss, should I send Master Xiao Yan back?”
“No need.”
Kurumi’s smile widened, but it made Xun’er uneasy.
“Lin Lao, do you know which elder’s grandson lives nearby?”
Lin Bai didn’t understand what Kurumi was planning, but he could only answer truthfully.
“The nearest is a boy named Xiao Ning.”
“Then please, Lin Lao, use some illusions to lead Xiao Yan to Xiao Ning’s room.”
“Yes, Miss, this old servant will handle it.”
“Oh, and place several projection stones in the room.”
The old man, in a cave somewhere in the back mountain, broke into a cold sweat but still respectfully said, “Rest assured, Miss, this old servant will make proper arrangements.”
Xun’er blinked her big eyes, looking at the smiling Kurumi. At her young age, she felt that her seemingly innocent cousin Xiao Yan was in trouble.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was staring at a high wall, glancing at a nearby tree, rubbing his hands together.
