People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

108: Chapter 108 Aunt, if you really become a Dou Di, will you marry me?”In terms of status and talent, your brother certainly qualifies,” Fairy Huo Ling said, glancing at her niece, who remained calm, and smiling. ”But as Huo Zhi’s aunt, I will support her in choosing her own future partner; I would rather have nothing than settle for less.”

”A woman should also be able to grasp her own future destiny and life.”

As the current number one female cultivator on the Fighting Qi Continent, Fairy Huo Ling was absolutely qualified to say these words.

”Before I reach the Peak Dou Zun, I will not consider this issue,” a smile appeared on her pretty face beneath the red veil. ”Yao Ling, although I have enjoyed chatting with you, this alone isn’t enough to make me your future sister-in-law.”

”My brother really is quite good,” Yao Ling said, like a good younger sister desperately trying to set her own brother up with her best friend. ”Big Sister Huo Zhi, don’t dismiss him entirely; you could try getting to know him first before considering it.”

”If there is an opportunity to meet, for your sake, I can get to know him, but don’t count on anything more,” Huo Zhi reached out and hooked her arm around Fairy Huo Ling’s. ”The person I admire most is my aunt; when it comes to finding a partner, I absolutely cannot settle.”

”Then you might end up alone for the rest of your life,” Fairy Huo Ling reached out to ruffle Huo Zhi’s hair and laughed. ”Your aunt, after all, is going to marry a Dou Di powerhouse.”

This wasn’t because Fairy Huo Ling was arrogant.

She could become an Eight Star Dou Sheng at any moment; looking across the Fighting Qi Continent, there were indeed few people who could catch her eye.

Whether it was the Xiao Xuan of the past, or the current Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, they were indeed qualified in terms of strength and status for her to marry them.

But as the second strongest member of the Yan Clan and the pillar of the Yan Clan after Yan Jin, it was impossible for her to marry into another Emperor Clan.

If it were a Dou Di, it would be different; even if she married out, she could bring huge benefits and protection to the Yan Clan.

Therefore, whether from a personal perspective or an Emperor Clan perspective, and considering the extent to which the Yan Clan needed her, only a Dou Di could make her break her rule.

Of course, she could also choose to take a husband into her clan, but both she and the Yan Clan looked down on those who were too useless, and those she could look up to were unwilling to be a live-in son-in-law; this was a vicious cycle.

”I believe that Aunt’s true love will definitely appear,” Huo Zhi said, trying to comfort her.

”Haha,” Fairy Huo Ling laughed. ”That is equivalent to praying for the Fighting Qi Continent to quickly give birth to a male Dou Di; I’m afraid that is almost impossible.”

After all, even someone as brilliantly talented as Xiao Xuan back in the day, who gathered the strength of the entire Xiao Clan, did not succeed.

She could not imagine who could surpass Xiao Xuan.

”Well, who can say for sure?”

Huo Zhi and Yao Ling exchanged a look.

Once Xiao Ting became a Dou Di, the Fighting Qi Continent would naturally see the emergence of a Dou Di, and they would even be able to head to a higher-level world.

Thinking of this, Huo Zhi’s eyes shifted, and she suddenly asked, ”Aunt, if there were someone now who broke through to Dou Di before the age of thirty or forty, would you marry him?”

”You little girl, are you teasing your aunt about being old?” Fairy Huo Ling pinched Huo Zhi’s ear. ”Dou Sheng can live for a thousand years, those above Five-Star Dou Sheng can live for three thousand years, and a Dou Di can even live for over ten thousand years. Do you think age is an issue?”

”At that time, you’d have to ask the Dou Di whether he wants your aunt.”

--- Meanwhile, in the Jia Lie Family of Wutan City.

The head of the Jia Lie Family was enthusiastically hosting the First-Grade Alchemist, Liu Xi.

With several beauties by his side, lewd sounds and words would occasionally drift out, causing the high-ranking members of the Jia Lie Family to feel a sense of disdain in their hearts.

If it weren’t for his status as a First-Grade Alchemist, given Liu Xi’s strength as a Dou Practitioner, he wouldn’t even have the qualifications to speak with them.

”Master Liu Xi, I see that the Xiao Family’s stock of healing pills is reaching its limit. We must press our advantage; I ask for your hard work recently.” Gale Bi personally discussed matters with Liu Xi.

”No problem,” Liu Xi readily agreed, letting out a lewd laugh. ”What about those maidens I wanted?”

”That will still take some time,” Gale Bi suppressed his displeasure and said with a chuckle. ”We have to completely suppress the Xiao Family first. However, before that, I recently bought a Snake-person woman; I will have her sent to your courtyard, Master.”

”Easy to say, easy to say,” Liu Xi immediately put away his previously somewhat dissatisfied expression.

Snake-person women were the exclusive domain of the nobility; a First-Grade Alchemist like him was nothing in a real big city and didn’t have the qualifications to possess one.

He didn’t expect that in Wutan City, he would still be able to taste such a delight.

The two of them let out a hearty laugh.

But the next day, not a single person in the Jia Lie Family could laugh.

When Liu Xi, who had been refining healing pills all night, arrived at the meeting hall, he felt that the atmosphere was very heavy.

”Family Head Jia Lie, what happened?” Liu Xi walked directly over to an empty chair at the head of the table and sat down. ”I was just planning to rest a bit before waking up to continue refining pills.”

”Master Liu Xi, the Xiao Family is fighting back head-on. It seems they really have relied on a powerful Alchemist. I wonder if you could ask your teacher to intervene?” Gale Bi recounted what had happened this morning.

The Xiao Family had increased the sales volume of various first-grade pills at all their major trading centers, with prices ten percent lower than those of the Jia Lie Family.

The Jia Lie Family’s trading centers urgently lowered their prices, but the Xiao Family immediately followed suit and declared that they would always be ten percent lower than the Jia Lie Family.

Even if they lowered the price to just the cost price, the Xiao Family still followed without hesitation, and the quantity was very large, but there was a daily purchase limit for each person, so there was no need to worry about the Jia Lie Family or the Ou Ba Family buying low and selling high.

In short, the situation was very bad now.

”A high-ranking Alchemist?” Liu Xi’s expression darkened, and he immediately said, ”Bring me the pills sold by the Xiao Family so I can take a look.”

Gale Bi had already prepared and immediately had people bring over various pills.

Liu Xi examined every single one, and his expression became very grave.

”These pills should be the work of two people. One of them should have just become an Alchemist not long ago; their pill-refining technique is not even as good as mine, but the other one is far above me.”

”Even the quality of the first-grade pills refined by my teacher is not as good as the quality of the pills refined by this Alchemist senior.”

”So...”

So?

Gale Bi and the others revealed expectant gazes.

”I am leaving immediately,” Liu Xi stood up directly, his tone resolute. ”The compensation promised by the Jia Lie Family, and the share of the pills sold recently, I don’t want any of it. Let’s cooperate again in the future if there is a chance.”

As he spoke, Liu Xi lifted his foot to leave.

The Jia Lie Family still wanted him to call his teacher over.

If his teacher knew that he had come to Wutan City to throw his weight around and had offended an Alchemist who was at least on the same level, he could skin him alive.

For ordinary cultivators, the art of pill refining was a hornet’s nest that couldn’t be poked, but when facing other Alchemists, it depended on who was stronger.

The high-ranking members of the Jia Lie Family: ”...”

”Family Head, are we not keeping Master Liu?” an elder of the Jia Lie Family asked.

”He wants to leave; it’s obvious he’s afraid. How are we to keep him?” Gale Bi’s face was very ugly, and he suppressed the anger in his eyes.

”My Jia Lie Family provided him with good food and drink, and sent him beauties and resources. Now that we have completely fallen out with the Xiao Family, he’s just going to pat his butt and leave?” A more aggressive elder sneered, ”Force him to stay.”

”That would be courting death.” A flicker of interest flashed in Gale Bi’s eyes, but in the end, he shook his head. ”You know how much pressure Liu Xi brought to the Xiao Family. Now that the Xiao Family has two Alchemists, we cannot offend Liu Xi anymore.”

”If it really doesn’t work, we can only negotiate for peace.”

Negotiate for peace?

Soul perception sensing the situation in the Jia Lie Family meeting hall, Xiao Ting’s eyes turned cold.

”Now you want to negotiate for peace? It’s too late.”

Circulation of Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Ting left the Jia Lie Family area without making a sound.

He changed into a black robe and, without anyone knowing, followed Liu Xi, who had left the Jia Lie Family and ridden away on a Magical Beast horse.

When the other party passed through a forest, he took out a longbow and fired an arrow.

”Bang!”

Liu Xi didn’t have time to react before he was hit by the arrow and fell, motionless.

Xiao Ting came to him, checked his breath, and a smile flashed in his eyes. ”What a coincidence, isn’t it?”
