33: When Nannan gets angry, one person suppresses the whole family

Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere became subtly tense.

Xiao Huohuo was trembling with excitement!

Immortal destiny!

This was the legendary immortal destiny!

He had thought his life would remain this way, living as a useless person, growing old and dying in humiliation and unwillingness.

But now, two figures, possibly Immortal Sect Disciples, stood alive before him!

This was like the heavens had gone blind… no, had opened their eyes, tearing open a ray of light for Xiao Huohuo’s life!

“Two Immortals, if you don’t mind, please come with me to my home to rest for a moment, so that I may… express my gratitude.”

Xiao Huohuo’s voice carried an almost imperceptible tremor, his eyes filled with extreme reverence and longing.

He knew this was his only chance! He had to seize it tightly!

Qin Jiu heard this and looked at Nanny with some hesitation.

He was truly afraid of this little ancestor now, fearing she would say something astonishing again and poke a hole in the sky.

“Go to his house?”

Nanny’s big, dark eyes rolled, and she smacked her lips, seemingly still savoring the big meal she had just eaten.

“Does his house have good food?”

Xiao Huohuo was stunned, then ecstatic, nodding frantically like a pecking chick: “Yes! Yes, yes! Whatever Immortal wants to eat, my Xiao Family will get it for you, even if it means losing everything!”

“Good! Then let’s go!”

Nanny waved her small hand, making the decision on the spot.

As long as there’s good food, that’s fine!

What else could Qin Jiu say? He could only follow with a bitter smile.

This little Senior Sister’s thought process was indeed not something a Mortal like him could fathom.

…

Not long after, the three arrived at the Xiao Family manor.

As one of Xiangyang City’s former great Families, the Xiao Family manor occupied a considerable area, with vermilion gates and high walls, appearing extraordinarily grand.

However, the two guards at the entrance, upon seeing Xiao Huohuo leading two strangers back, revealed undisguised disdain and contempt on their faces.

“Oh, isn’t this our Xiao Family’s ‘Genius’ Third Young Master? Back from where he’s been messing around again?”

“Heh, he even brought two friends today? Tsk tsk, truly birds of a feather flock together.”

The sarcastic mockery was incredibly harsh.

Xiao Huohuo’s face instantly turned pig-liver red, his fists clenched tightly, fingernails digging deep into his palms, and furious flames burning in his eyes.

A tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs!

Even a mere doorman dared to insult him to his face!

“You…!”

“Forget it, Huohuo.” Qin Jiu tugged his sleeve and shook his head.

He could see that Xiao Huohuo’s status in the Family was probably even more miserable than he had imagined.

Nanny, however, was carefree and immune to these verbal attacks; she was curiously examining the two majestic stone lions, even reaching out to touch them, muttering, “This stone isn’t as fun as Master’s.”

Xiao Huohuo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the humiliation in his heart, “Let’s go in.”

His voice hoarse, he led the two, head bowed.

His disheveled appearance made the two guards laugh even harder.

…

Just as they passed through the corridor of the front yard, before reaching the reception hall, they ran into a group of people.

Leading them was a slender young woman, dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, with jingling accessories; she was quite pretty, but her delicate face carried an inherent sharpness and arrogance that made people annoyed at first glance.

Behind her followed several sycophantic collateral Disciples of the Xiao Family, one of them…

“Stop!”

The young woman’s voice was clear, yet it was like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, chilling one to the bone.

She was precisely Xiao Huohuo’s haughty cousin, Xiao Yuran.

“Xiao Huohuo, you good-for-nothing, do you even have the face to come back?!”

Xiao Yuran crossed her arms, her chin held high, her gaze no different from looking at a stray dog by the roadside.

Her eyes swept over Nanny and Qin Jiu.

“A good-for-nothing who can’t even keep his Internal Energy, bringing two bumpkins picked up from who knows where, and daring to bring them home?!”

“Are you trying to make my Xiao Family lose even more face?!”

These words were too vicious!

They were practically…

“Xiao Yuran!”

Xiao Huohuo suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, like a furious lion!

“They are my esteemed guests! Watch your mouth! Apologize to them!”

“Esteemed guests? Hahahahaha!”

Xiao Yuran seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, laughing so hard that she swayed, tears almost coming out.

“You?! A good-for-nothing whose Family rations are even being withheld, dares to have ‘esteemed guests’?!”

She pointed at Qin Jiu and Nanny, her face mocking: “I think you’re just crazy from poverty…”

“I’m telling you, Xiao Huohuo, immediately, right now! Take your two friends and get out of here!”

“Don’t dirty my Xiao Family’s ground!”

Qin Jiu’s face also completely turned cold.

As an Immortal Sect Disciple, when had he ever endured such indignity?

The spiritual power within his body had already begun to stir.

…

“Who are you, why are you scolding us?”

Nanny tilted her small head, pointing at Xiao Yuran, and spoke in a childish voice.

She didn’t quite understand the complex words, but she understood one thing.

This woman wasn’t letting them eat.

Xiao Yuran’s eyebrows shot up, and she rebuked, “Where did this wild brat come from? Get lost! You have no right to speak here!”

“You’re the bad person!”

Nanny’s small face immediately puffed up.

Master said, anyone who doesn’t let me eat is a bad person.

“You scolded my friend! And you won’t let us eat!”

“You’re a big bad guy!”

The little girl was angry!

The consequences were severe!

Boom—!

An indescribable, terrifying Aura, as if from primordial chaos, towering above all living beings, without a trace of…

This was not a mere Aura; this was a substantive crushing force!

The air, as if sucked dry in this instant, solidified into ten-thousand-year-old profound ice!

The hard bluestone slabs on the ground, with Nanny at the center, actually “crackled” and cracked into spiderweb-like fine lines!

“Ah!”

Xiao Yuran, who bore the brunt, her face’s sharpness and mockery…

She only felt…

“Thump!”

With a muffled sound, her legs went weak, and she collapsed directly onto the ground, her face ashen, with a faint hint of warm, wet liquid seeping from her crotch!

The sycophants behind her couldn’t even utter a scream; their eyeballs bulged, they foamed at the mouth, and like fish out of water, they fell straight to the ground, instantly passing out!

Even Xiao Huohuo, standing not far away…

The entire Xiao Family manor, from the main branch Elders to the servants and laborers, were all suppressed at this moment.

The Xiao Family was in an uproar!
