Chapter 348: Xiao Tong Ying’s probing
One emperor and three main cities represented the greatest resources and influence on the Heavenly Dragon Continent. If they all helped build the city, there was nothing on the Heavenly Dragon Continent that couldn’t be done! The way that Xiao Tian looked at Feng Xiao became even more honest as if he was looking at a god descended to earth. Other than this reason, he couldn’t think of any other reason how he had subdued the emperor and the three main cities.
But very soon, he knitted his brows and revealed a confused look, “With these four countries helping, it is indeed very simple to build a city. But boss, how do you plan on getting help from these four countries? Not to mention Heavenly Dragon Imperial City and Fire God City that have lost the Death Volcano, there’s a natural barrier blocking the City of Ice and Thunder God City. There’s no way for their citizens to leave their countries.”
Feng Xiao said with a nod, “This was a problem that bothered me too, but that already isn’t a problem anymore. Look……”
He called out his status and placed the stats of the Space Forbidden Spell “Forever Space Gate” in front of Xiao Tian which shocked him, while also enlightening him.
“With this skill, I can put a transport array in the imperial city and the three main cities and the other side will be in the city that I build. Not only would it solve the problem that you mentioned, it would also make things more convenient for players. So like this, there’s no problem at all.” Feng Xiao said with a confident look.
He knew that he had gained all the needed components to build a city after many encounters. Each of these encounters were things that people didn’t think of or even dare think of.
Could it be that this really was arranged by the heavens or he was the favoured child of the heavens?
“Xiao Tian, let’s go out. We all have some more rounds to fight today.”
The first round had too many people and each person must fight ten matches, so it took a total of three days. Each participating player had to fight three matches a day. The second round with five thousand players after the first round would take the fourth day. The third round with one thousand people after the second round would take the fifth day. Finally, after the preliminary rounds, thirty two people would be chosen to fight a brutal elimination match.
Xiao Tian didn’t seem to hear what he said as he stared at his status. After a long while, he said with a sigh, “I thought that the gap between me and boss wasn’t that big, but I never thought……that boss was this far ahead.”
He had always been determined and confident to surpass his master Ye Huang Tian, but he never thought about surpassing Feng Xiao who was weaker than Ye Huang Tian. This thought was very strange and very vague, but it was deeply engraved in his heart. He already recognized that it was impossible to surpass him.

In the warm room, Feng Xiao carefully and lovingly moved the spoon in his hand as he gently fed her the soup. These were all precious materials that Empress Shui Yue had someone send over as soon as she learned that Rou Rou was back. If she wasn’t too busy, she would have personally come already.
Rou Rou’s face was red, but that wasn’t because of the medical soup, but rather because of her happiness and shyness. She stuck out her pink tongue a bit to eat the soup he fed her, not tasting the bitterness that came with the soup at all. Her mouth, her heart, and her body was filled with the taste of happiness. Even if she died again and never woke up, she would have a happy smile.
Feng Yao, Bao Bao, Xi Ruo stood by Feng Xiao looking at Rou Rou with caring looks, as well as smiles. The gentle gaze and actions made Xi Ruo remember the scene of him feeding her each day and the corners of her mouth gradually raised.
There was a system notification that rang in his ears that made Feng Xiao stop. He helplessly put down the soup and then helped Shui Rou Rou lie down before gently saying, “I have to go out for a bit, I’ll be back soon. Be good and wait for me.”
“Un……Young master, come back soon.” Her face was still red and there was an unwillingness that would never change.
Come back soon……He hadn’t heard this goodbye that never changed from this for a long time. He never felt Rou Rou’s attachment towards him as much as he did at this moment. He bent down and said with a serious look, “I will definitely be back soon. Very soon……”
At stage 99 of the Heavenly Dragon Arena, a level 52 Hunter called “Xiao Tian Tian Throwing Mud” was sweating profusely as he laid down his traps. The competition had already started half a minute ago and his opponent Asura still wasn’t here. He had placed all kinds of traps from the center of the arena to his feet. Poison traps, binding traps, defense decreasing traps, damaging traps……He put down every kind that he could because his opponent was the invincible Asura!
When Asura finally appeared, Xiao Tian Tian Throwing Mud felt his heart skip a beat. A single “Eagle Arrow” flew out before quickly starting moving back. He secretly thought that it was impossible for Asura to safely make it through all these traps.
He had just taken a step back when a flash of gold light came from in front of him. A single golden arrow moved at an incredible speed and entered his chest.
Seeing the falling body and the Miss that appeared above his head, Feng Xiao disdainfully curled his lips. He didn’t wait for the prompt before disappearing from the stage. Everyone just saw a flash of gold light before the match ended. There wasn’t a big chance of experts meeting in the first round. The truly powerful experts either had a strong influence or a Hidden Job. With strong influence, they could get plenty of powerful equipment and stat increasing items. Hidden Jobs had skills that were countless times more powerful than normal player skills.
“I’m back!”
It was just three seconds, Rou Rou had still been looking at where he had left when he appeared by her side again. That feeling of being loved almost made her faint from happiness. Her lips pursed as she gently called, “Young master……”
“Rou Rou!” Feng Xiao cut her off with a soft sound, “Don’t call me young master from now on……You can call me big brother like your sisters do.”
Feng Yao and Xi Ruo looked at each other with smiles. Feng Xiao’s words meant that he recognized her and she became a person he would protect for the rest of his life.
“No……” Surprising everyone, Rou Rou shook her head before her face was covered in a cute blush, “I……I like calling you young master……”
Feng Xiao was a bit surprised because this was Rou Ruo’s first time rejecting his request. He said with a smile, “Alright, Rou Rou can call me whatever you want. Big brother or young master, you will be my little Rou Rou no matter what.”
“Un.” She softly replied. She lowered her head, as she didn’t dare look at Feng Yao and Xi Ruo’s smiling faces on the side. The red on her face became even deeper.
“Big sister Yao’er, why doesn’t big sister Rou Rou like calling him big brother?” Bao Bao pulled on Feng Yao’s clothes and asked in a small voice. Her cute eyes were filled with curiosity.
“Because……” Feng Yao revealed a smile, “There are many people that call him big brother, but there’s only your big sister Rou Rou who calls him young master.”
That was a name that belonged to her, it became the little happiness that she wasn’t willing to give up.
Bao Bao nodded with a bit of understanding. She moved closer to Feng Xiao because her big brother Asura hadn’t hugged her today.
…………
After Rou Rou fell asleep, Feng Xiao stood up and prepared to head to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Palace. Xiao Tian, who had been waiting for him to come out, quickly fixed his expression and uneasily came forward.
“Boss!” Xiao Tian secretly looked at his expression, not knowing what to say.
“Un? Speak quickly if you have something to say.”
Seeing him reveal a rare hesitating expression, Feng Xiao felt curious.
“It’s like this.” Xiao Tian scratched the back of his head, “My big sister……came back last night.”
“Oh……” Feng Xiao’s heart skipped a beat as he almost jumped up. He clenched his teeth to suppress the beating of his heart and said with a calm look, “It’s good that she came back safely……Right, what is she doing today?”
Feng Xiao’s heart kept trembling as he wished that she would never come back. Although she had the charm of a demon, she also used the methods of a demon. Moreover…..last time he finished in her mouth, there hadn’t been a single bit of retaliation. It made him more and more restless, so just hearing her name made his heart tremble.
“Today……She’s preparing a dowry with my dad.”
Xiao Tian secretly wiped his cold sweat. Although Xiao Tong Ying had beaten Xiao Ying up for secretly reading her diary, when Xiao Ying impatiently mentioned preparing a dowry, she had revealed a shy appearance that she never revealed before which scared Xiao Ying. Then she obediently went out with Xiao Ying.
“What? Dowry?” Feng Tian grabbed Xiao Tian’s shoulders and looked at him, “Could it be a dowry for your big sister? Could it be……your big sister is getting married!?”
“Un! Un!” Xiao Tian quickly nodded.
Feng Xiao’s eyes opened wide and after a long silence, he broke out in laughter, “Wa, ha, ha, ha, ha, that crazy woman is finally getting married, the gods really have eyes……Ha, ha, ha, ha, right, who was the unlucky person that was caught by your big sister?”
Feng Xiao’s expression made Xiao Tian speechless. After stuttering for a while, he said in a difficult voice, “This person……”
Feng Xiao thought that Xiao Tian’s stuttering meant it was hard for him to speak of this, so he patted him on the shoulder with a refreshed look, “It’s fine if you don’t say it. It’s all good as long as that woman gets married. Un……It can’t be she brought someone back during her mission, right?”
It was no wonder she hadn’t retaliated after such a long time. It turned out that the demon’s heart had sunk and couldn’t find the time.
