Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111: Who Dares to Bully You? Big Sister Will Stand Up for You! Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111: Who Dares to Bully You? Big Sister Will Stand Up for You! “Pfft, Little Brother, I’m sorry! I lost my composure!” persuaded by Huang Xiaolong, Duanmu Wei finally let go of him. At that mont, a captivating blush spread across her face, making her look enchantingly beautiful.
Tsk tsk, the famously cold beauty also has monts of enchanting charm?
It’s as if the sun has risen from the west!
If the young geniuses knew about this, they would surely be green with envy towards Huang Xiaolong!
In his heart, Huang Xiaolong secretly assessed that Duanmu Wei’s appearance and deanor were slightly better than any of his wives. Perhaps, this was because she was a mid Tribulation realm super genius, nourished by Spiritual Energy all year round, which made her skin and everything else better!
“Little Brother, I am really, really excited right now! Do you know what it feels like to have a narrow escape from death?” Duanmu Wei’s emotions were still unstable.
No wonder, from great sorrow to great joy, from despair to rebirth, anyone who experiences such things cannot calm down instantly.
Especially Duanmu Wei, who just felt that she had one foot in the gates of hell, and she could definitely sll death!
Thank goodness! Huang Xiaolong had forcefully pulled her back to life!
“Little Brother! Do you know how grateful I am to you?” Duanmu Wei couldn’t help but grab Huang Xiaolong’s hands, sincerely saying, “I swear, besides my parents, you are the closest person to now! You saved my life! Now, you truly are the closest person to !”
Holding Duanmu Wei’s soft hands, Huang Xiaolong felt sowhat embarrassed. “Big Sister, don’t ntion it. I was just in the right place at the right ti. It’s just what people do when soone’s in trouble.”
“Big Sister?” Duanmu Wei frowned slightly.
“Yes, if you call Little Brother, then I should call you Big Sister,” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin.
“Oh… Big Sister, Big Sister, okay, call it what you will. As long as you’re happy,” Duanmu Wei also laughed. “Tell , how do you want to repay you this ti? Speak up!”
“Actually, there’s no need for repaynt,” Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
“No way! Without you, I would have been gone for good. How could such a kindness not be repaid? If you don’t accept my repaynt, I will develop a Heart Demon!” Duanmu Wei said earnestly.
“Sweat, Big Sister, I really haven’t thought about what I want you to repay for,” Huang Xiaolong said, troubled.
“No hurry, no hurry, take your ti to think, and tell when you’ve decided. I won’t rush you.” Duanmu Wei’s eyebrows arched, her bright eyes twinkling. “By the way, Little Brother, the pills and the talisman you gave earlier, what were they?”
“Ah, just sothing I happened to co across,” Huang Xiaolong was not planning to reveal everything to Duanmu Wei.
Duanmu Wei scrutinized Huang Xiaolong carefully and scanned him with her spiritual sense, of course, she couldn’t see through Huang Xiaolong’s depths, only faintly sensing that his mana was relatively weak, probably not a very powerful expert.
From his clothing and deanor, he also seed not to have a very powerful background.
Thus, it was indeed possible that those top-grade pills and talismans were sothing he had rely chanced upon.
“Little Brother’s kindness towards is indeed difficult to repay. Those pills and talismans were very precious, yet he, a commoner, was willing to part with such valuable items to help through my tribulation, even without asking for anything in return… His character is too good! No, I must compensate him doubly! I must repay him!”
Duanmu Wei felt even more grateful towards Huang Xiaolong.
“Little Brother, listen to ,” Duanmu Wei paused, then patted Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder. “Now, I am going to Codfish Island to participate in this year’s Dragon Hidden List competition. If you are free, co with !”
“Um, the Hidden Dragon Rankings competition?” Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly, his mind already clear—this Big Sister Duanmu, under thirty years of age, had successfully advanced to the mid-phase of the Tribulation Passage Realm. Thus, she must definitely have a spot on the Hidden Dragon Rankings! She was certainly no commoner!
“Yes, little brother, have you not heard of the Hidden Dragon Rankings Talent Battle? It’s quite the event! The young talents from the overseas cultivators’ world gather together, vying for superiority, making it a splendid sight!” As she spoke, a strange gleam shone in Duanmu Wei’s bright eyes. “People say it’s the stage for True Dragon prodigies! This ti, having made a breakthrough, I must move my ranking upward!”
“Big sister, what is your current ranking on the Hidden Dragon Rankings?” Huang Xiaolong’s mind imdiately brought up the mory of Young Master Shi, who he had t when he was with Song Yuru and Ying Aoshan at the Flower-Shifting Palace, ranked 24th on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, and Xia Ding, ranked 26th. These two n were both in the early phase of the Tribulation Passage Realm, just like Duanmu Wei before her breakthrough. He guessed that these three must be on the sa level of talent, with rankings probably not far apart!
“Heh~~ little brother, I’m currently ranked 23rd. However, with this breakthrough, I’m sure to make a leap into the top 20 this year~~ Of course, the Hidden Dragon Rankings are no easy challenge, especially the top thirty ranks, where competition is fierce. I can improve, and so can they,” Duanmu Wei laughed. “How about it, little brother, will you co with and cheer on?”
“Alright then.” Huang Xiaolong agreed readily.
It seems that Duanmu Wei completely saw Huang Xiaolong as a novice. Little did she expect that Huang Xiaolong would also be participating in this year’s Hidden Dragon Rankings Talent Battle!
Huang Xiaolong would be her competitor!
Hearing Huang Xiaolong agree so readily, Duanmu Wei was naturally overjoyed. “Great! Little brother, let’s get going! Hmm~ my flying sword exploded, and all my magical treasures are shattered. Now, I only have the option to share a flying sword with you. You don’t mind, do you?”
“It would be my honor, little brother,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
Thus, the two of them rode on the sa flying sword, following the path to Codfish Island at a steady pace.
The journey to Codfish Island was long, and Huang Xiaolong, initially traveling alone, would have been lonely. Now, with the company of a peerless beauty, his spirits were naturally high.
Throughout the journey, they talked and laughed, growing closer, and calling each other brother and sister warmly.
Huang Xiaolong could tell that Duanmu Wei, typically tough-tongued but soft-hearted, outwardly cold but warm inside, had a good character, sturdy on the outside but tender and understanding, lively and unrestrained.
Of course, the number of people who could understand Duanmu Wei’s true nature was extrely rare.
‘Hmm~ Big Sister Duanmu is great, good! She will beco my wife! It’s her destiny! Hehehe~~’ Huang Xiaolong had settled on Duanmu Wei as his future wife!
After several days of flight, at last, an island appeared ahead!
The island, although not large, was lush with vegetation and vibrant with Spiritual Energy. Faintly visible were small bridges over flowing streams, winding paths leading to secluded spots, pavilions, towers, and swaying bamboo trees, estates and tea houses, the air filled with a thick, intoxicating fragrance that was irresistible.
It truly was a paradise, like a pristine land!
Huang Xiaolong knew the map of Codfish Island and was aware that this island was not the one hosting this year’s Hidden Dragon Rankings Talent Battle.
Duanmu Wei smiled. “Little brother, this island is called ‘Listen to the Wind Cottage’, and the Island Master is a refined person. This island is less than a day’s journey from Codfish Island. Each year, geniuses who co to participate in the Hidden Dragon Rankings competition, as well as so cultivators who co to watch, often stop at ‘Listen to the Wind Cottage’ to drink tea and wine, exchange ideas, or even spar—consider it a way to et with friends and warm up, corroborating their Cultivation Techniques,” she explained.
“Oh,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
“Little brother, before, a few geniuses had invited to gather at ‘Listen to the Wind Cottage’ before the opening of the Hidden Dragon Rankings competition. Judging by the ti, they should already be on the island. Let’s go have so fun,” Duanmu Wei grinned.
Huang Xiaolong hesitated. “Big Sister Duanmu, is that really okay? They didn’t invite ; isn’t it a bit rude to just show up uninvited?”
“Giggle~~ Little brother, don’t be afraid! It’s taking you there; who would dare to make things difficult for you? Yes, those geniuses are unruly and extrely proud, but your big sister is not a weakling. Co on, let’s head to Listen to the Wind Cottage. If anyone dares to bully you, I will stand up for you,” Duanmu Wei laughed heartily.
