Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 474

You Ruo looked at the Chaos Flame in Xiao Fan's hand, closed her eyes to sense it carefully, and then said, "That's right, it's this kind of aura. When this pitch-black flame suddenly appeared on Le An's body, I thought something had happened, but fortunately, after a careful check, there was nothing seriously wrong..."

"Moreover, apart from that one time, he has never displayed such a flame, so..."

You Ruo stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

At this moment, perhaps attracted by the Chaos Fire in Xiao Fan's palm, a wisp of dark flame emanated from Xiao Qi'an's body and slowly approached the Chaos Fire in Xiao Fan's hand.

"It really is Chaos Fire!"

Xiao Fan stared at the pitch-black flames emanating from Xiao Qi'an's body. Even though his soul had enveloped them, Xiao Fan still couldn't detect the slightest energy fluctuation, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

[Ding! The Devouring Python's soul and the Chaos Fire are gifts from the system to the host's child. No need to thank me!]

Suddenly, a system message appeared before Xiao Fan's eyes.

Looking at the answer provided by the system, Xiao Fan's face lit up with understanding. So it was the system that gave it to him; no wonder...

Knowing that the cheat code on that little devil came from the system, Xiao Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze falling on the two children as he took out the gifts he had prepared for them.

"This thing is called a Souvenir Pendant. It contains a terrifying energy that can kill even a Dou Zun expert, but only in one move!"

Xiao Fan took out two pendants, one blue and one pink, and put them around the necks of the two little ones. Watching them curiously grab the crystal pendants and put them in their mouths, Xiao Fan sighed and then waved his hand to readjust the edges of the diamond-shaped pendants to make sure they wouldn't poke them.

"Don't worry, they'll both be fine."

Seeing Xiao Fan's cautious demeanor, You Ruo smiled and said, "Those two kids are strong and extremely intelligent. When they go out to play with Kai Jin, they often run away and hide on their own. I've always had Hua She'er keep an eye on them from the shadows..."

Xiao Fan nodded gently upon hearing You Ruo's words and said to her, "Close your eyes!"

Although You Ruo didn't understand, she roughly guessed what Xiao Fan meant. A hint of unease flashed across her face, but seeing that there was no one else in the palace, she obediently closed her eyes.

Looking at You Ruo's appearance, Xiao Fan smiled mischievously and gently kissed her lips. Then he took out the purple pendant that he had saved for You Ruo.

As You Ruo looked at the purple crystal pendant in front of her and felt the fluctuations within it, her eyes softened.

"I also left my image here."

Xiao Fan looked at You Ruo and spoke, then gently pointed to the pendants on the two little ones. A faint light emerged from their pendants, and then Xiao Fan's figure condensed in front of them.

The figure of Xiao Fan that appeared in Xiao Qi'an's pendant held a crimson spear, exuding an extremely terrifying aura, with a disdainful yet gentle gaze.

The image of Xiao Fan, appearing on Xiao Lening's pendant, was dressed in white, with a faint smile on his face, gazing into the distance, his aura ethereal.

Chapter 234 Meeting

You Ruo looked at the two illusory figures that appeared in the palace, a strange look flashing in her eyes. She looked Xiao Fan up and down and said, "Heh, I didn't expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve. I didn't know you had two faces like this."

Xiao Fan listened to You Ruo's words and a slight hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he did not offer any further explanation.

"It's nothing, I only did a tiny bit of beautification..."

Xiao Fan looked at the illusory figures in front of Qi An and Le Ning, without the slightest embarrassment on his face.

The illusory energy within this keepsake pendant, along with a trace of Xiao Fan's soul imprint, can be briefly activated by Xiao Fan once it is activated. This is also to ensure their safety.

"What about mine?"

You Ruo looked at Xiao Fan, lifted the pendant around her neck with her slender fingers, and asked, "What about mine? What does your image look like in my pendant?"

"Hehe~~"

Xiao Fan smiled mysteriously, without offering any explanation. His gaze fell on the pendant in You Ruo's hand, and he said, "Since you're curious, why don't you take a look for yourself?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, You Ruo flicked her finger, and a wisp of Dou Qi surged into the pendant on her chest. Immediately, purple energy shot out and transformed into a figure wearing a black cloak in front of You Ruo.

Looking at the figure that appeared before her, You Ruo's eyes flashed with surprise, but her gaze toward Xiao Fan revealed warmth.

Xiao Fan, inside the Youruo pendant, was wearing a black robe, and his aura was extremely weak, making him appear as if he could be crushed with a flick of the wrist.

However, a hint of nostalgia appeared in You Ruo's eyes.

Seeing You Ruo's expression, Xiao Fan smiled and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Hmph! Why didn't I crush you to death back then...?"

You Ruo looked at Xiao Fan and spoke, but there was no anger in her tone.

Xiao Fan walked to You Ruo's side, stretched out his hands and slowly wrapped them around You Ruo's slender waist, his gaze falling on the black-robed figure along with You Ruo's.

This is exactly how the two first met in the Tagor Desert. At that time, You Ruo, who had risked breaking through to the Dou Zong level, devoured the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Her body was burned by the strange fire, and she almost died. At the critical moment, it was Xiao Fan who took action, disregarding his own danger, and used a large amount of his original bloodline to save You Ruo.

That's how their story began.

Their eyes met, as if it were a natural progression...

"Hey..."

Just as the two were about to take things further, Xiao Qi'an and Xiao Lening's childish voices rang out from the side, startling them.

Xiao Fan turned to look at the two little ones crawling towards them, a wry smile on his face. You Ruo glared at Xiao Fan, pushed him away, and then picked up her two darlings.

Xiao Fan, seeing You Ruo and the two children, was not bothered and joined You Ruo in playing with the two children.

....................

The next morning, Xiao Fan stretched and crawled out of You Ruo's warm bed. Looking at the patch of white skin peeking out from under the covers, he once again decided to get ready for action.

However, when he returned to the Jia Ma Empire, he had already told Hai Bodong and the others that he would meet them in the capital in three days. He and You Ruo stayed in the cave for a whole day and did not return until the evening of the next day. Now another day has passed, and the time he had agreed with them has arrived.

"Come back soon..."

You Ruo lay on the bed, looking at the two sleeping babies in the crib next to her. You Ruo stretched out a hand and played with her hair, speaking lazily.

Xiao Fan nodded slightly, but his gaze was fixed on Her Majesty the Queen and he couldn't look away.

As Her Majesty played with her hair, the soft blankets on her shoulders slipped down, revealing glimpses of her snow-white breasts beneath.

"Um......"

Xiao Fan's eyes widened in surprise. After a slight hesitation, he said, "It seems there's still some time; it's not like we're running out of time..."

.................

After a while, Xiao Fan stepped out of the palace, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Immediately, a silver crack appeared in front of Xiao Fan, and he took a step forward, heading towards the capital.

Inside the imperial palace in the capital city.

Jia Xingtian, Fama, and Hai Bodong sat around a round table, looking at each other and waiting for Xiao Fan to arrive.

"Sorry, I was held up by some things, so I seem to be a little late..."

Before Xiao Fan even arrived, his words had already reached the ears of the three men. Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, all three men became more serious. Only Hai Bodong was slightly more casual, half-lying on the table, looking up but unable to find Xiao Fan.

"Shh!"

Immediately, a spatial rift appeared in front of the three, and Xiao Fan stepped out from it, looking at them with a kind smile on his face.

Seeing Xiao Fan's effortless and comfortable methods, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear in his eyes. However, nowadays, strength is the only truth, and Jia Xingtian couldn't possibly be so presumptuous as to provoke Xiao Fan.

Moreover, the stronger the Xiao family became, the happier Jia Xingtian was.

Because once the Xiao family becomes powerful, they will not even bother with a remote place like the Jia Ma Empire. In other words, the Xiao family will not become a hindrance to the Jia Ma Empire's royal family like the original Yunlan Sect. On the contrary, the existence of the Xiao family will definitely make the Jia Ma Empire even stronger!

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian felt a sense of relief.

He knew that as long as the Gama royal family did not provoke the Xiao family in the future, and as long as the Xiao family existed, the Gama Empire would be safe.

"Hehe, I've kept you three waiting."

Xiao Fan appeared in mid-air, then landed right next to the round table. He spoke to the three of them with a hint of apology before sitting down in one of the seats.

"It's been so long! The three seniors are still as dashing as ever, hahaha..."

Xiao Fan noticed the three of them taking the initiative to speak, and he could see their slight nervousness. However, he was already mentally prepared for this kind of experience. This was a world where strength was paramount, and when your strength far surpassed theirs, how many people would still be able to treat you with a normal attitude?

"No, no..."

"Hahaha, compared to you, we haven't improved at all."

The three smiled as they listened to Xiao Fan's words. It was a great joy for them that the Jia Ma Empire could produce a strong person like Xiao Fan. After all, as long as the Xiao family remained in power, even though they were from the Jia Ma Empire, the surrounding countries would not dare to act recklessly.

After catching up with the three, Xiao Fan looked at them and said, "My return to the Jia Ma Empire this time was also by chance. The stable teleportation array has not yet been built, so I can't stay for too long. I wonder if there's anything I can help you with?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Jia Xingtian and the other two revealed a hint of understanding on their faces. No wonder he had suddenly returned to the Jia Ma Empire.

However, upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, all three smiled. Jia Xingtian said to Xiao Fan, "Right now, we old guys are the top fighting force of the Jia Ma Empire. There is no trouble that we cannot solve. Moreover, the Chu Yun Empire is currently at a critical juncture, and the surrounding Mu Lan Empire and Jin Yan Empire are also too busy to take care of themselves."

"Moreover, the Royal Academy, jointly established by the Royal Family and the Xiao Family, has also discovered many promising talents who are waiting for us to nurture them."

Xiao Fan looked surprised upon hearing Jia Xingtian's words and asked, "The Mulan Empire and the Golden Goose Empire have gone to war?"

"Ah."

Jia Xingtian nodded, a hint of excitement appearing on his aged face, and couldn't help but say, "I've heard that all of this is the result of the Mulan Empire's own actions."

"Two years ago, the Mulan Empire, relying on the existence of the three elders of Mulan, was very harsh on the people of the Golden Goose Empire. Until half a year ago, the three elders of Mulan never returned after going out, which made the people of the Mulan Empire realize that something was wrong. They wanted to hide the news, but in the end, it was leaked to the Golden Goose Empire."

"Upon receiving the news, the Golden Goose Empire immediately dispatched powerful individuals to probe the situation, but the three elders of Mulan remained silent, which allowed the people of the Golden Goose Empire to gradually develop ambitions."

"After confirming the disappearance of the three elders of Mulan, the Golden Goose Empire sent powerful figures to invade the Mulan Empire under the guise of an exchange. They killed many powerful figures within the Mulan Empire's territory. Subsequently, the Mulan Empire sent powerful figures to besiege the Golden Goose Empire's powerful figures. However, the Golden Goose Empire's powerful figures were skilled in movement and ultimately managed to escape from the Mulan Empire's territory."

"With the high-level battles between the two sides, the war between the Mulan Empire and the Golden Goose Empire began."

"If you do the math, the conflict between the two countries has been going on for almost half a year."

Listening to the series of events recounted by Jia Xingtian, Xiao Fan suddenly realized that when he led Xiao Yan to subdue the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, it seemed to have been on the outskirts of the Mulan Empire, and later three suicidal individuals had arrived...
