Chapter 3

Cutting off contact with Xiaomimi, Xiaoran quickly got out of bed and left the house.

It was now summer, the sun had just risen, and the outdoor temperature was already quite high.

Breathing in the fresh air and stretching his body, Xiaoran felt extremely invigorated. Curiously, he admired the houses and buildings around him, which he had only seen on TV, and his brows involuntarily furrowed.

This was Fog City in Dasha Yunzhou, and the mansion was called Miaoyuzhai, which occupied a vast area. Although he had been here for half a year according to his memory, he rarely moved around due to his physical condition, so his understanding of the place was very limited. His mother did not live here before; this time she came specially to see him, but he didn't know where she was staying.

Unable to find her, he decided to ask someone and left his residence.

Since he needed to be taken care of, his living place was very secluded, and few people came in. As soon as he stepped out of the independent courtyard, his eyes immediately brightened.

A stunning beauty swayed past, and when Xiaoran's gaze fell on her, it seemed to be rooted, unable to move an inch. At that moment, the beauty turned her back to Xiaoran, dressed in pink, with a silk belt around her waist. Her fiery back and buttocks curves firmly attracted his gaze.

What a big and firm butt!

Xiaoran felt extremely excited at that moment, his eyes shining brightly!

It was summer, and the weather was hot. The woman's clothing was slightly thin, her slender waist, and overly plump buttocks, formed a hot and seductive scene.

Xiaoran found that when his gaze fell on her, it seemed to be drawn by an inexplicable force towards her buttocks. In that instant, he felt as if the world around him had disappeared. In his eyes and in his heart, only her swaying figure remained.

It was a beauty that was hard to describe. Xiaoran felt that the woman's body seemed to revolve around her buttocks, and everything else existed to highlight them.

As he gazed, a captivating beauty seemed to penetrate through the clothes, as if the clothes could not conceal her body. When his gaze fell on her, the alluring curves and arcs immediately transformed into a tangible emotion, passing through his eyes to his heart. Instantly, Xiaoran's heart rate accelerated, his blood surged, and countless indescribable sensations stirred within him. In just a few breaths, even his soul felt as if it was floating in ecstasy.

If he could touch it, the feeling would surely be...

This thought had just crossed his mind when Xiaoran felt his nose heat up, and he suddenly shivered.

Xiaoran was too familiar with this feeling. When he was held by the servant girl Xiaocui, it felt the same, but now it was even stronger and more intense. Thinking of this, Xiaoran was suddenly startled. Last time, he was unconscious for over ten days, leading to an early awakening. If he were to lose control this time, would he die?

Heaven!

If that were to happen, it would be a great embarrassment. He would become the first person to die from excitement after secretly watching a woman's butt.

Xiaoran was startled by his own thoughts, but before he could收回目光, the pink-clad beauty suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at him.

This woman was very beautiful and also very alluring. Xiaoran's face turned red as he met her smiling gaze.

The pink-clad beauty smiled and swayed over to Xiaoran.

Leaning down slightly, the beauty sized up Xiaoran and then smiled, "Little guy, staring at a woman like that is very impolite, you know."

Xiaoran's face turned even redder, and he awkwardly said, "I don't know why I keep staring at that part of you, sister. It just seems so beautiful, and my gaze can't help but be drawn to it."

The pink-clad beauty lightly tapped Xiaoran's forehead with her finger and scolded, "You're such a little devil. You're so young, yet you already know how to appreciate women."

Xiaoran mustered up the courage and said shyly, "Sister, why is that part of you so unique? It seems... to actively attract people's gazes?"

The pink-clad beauty looked at Xiaoran in surprise and giggled, "Sister has practiced a very unique seduction technique. Men will be attracted as soon as they start to fantasize. Hehe! It's hard to believe that such a young boy already has a man's heart."

"Seduction technique?"

Xiaoran looked shocked.

The pink-clad beauty smiled, "You'll understand what a seduction technique is when you grow up." She then reached out and touched Xiaoran's head, continuing, "Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

Xiaoran, somewhat embarrassed, said, "I was looking for my mother, but I don't know where she is."

The pink-clad beauty suddenly glanced behind Xiaoran and smiled, "Little guy, it looks like your mother is here."

Xiaoran was taken aback and turned to look, immediately seeing Zhan Wan'er hurrying over.

The pink-clad beauty smiled and nodded at Zhan Wan'er, then gently patted Xiaoran's head, saying, "Little guy, we'll meet again next time."

Before Xiaoran could ask for her name, he was enveloped in Zhan Wan'er's worried embrace, and he could only watch as the pink-clad beauty left.

"Zhan'er, how did you come out? I was so worried when I found you weren't in your room." Seeing that Xiaoran was fine, Zhan Wan'er's expression relaxed.

Xiaoran, with a guilty look, said, "Mother, I found you weren't there, so I came out to look for you."

Zhan Wan'er, apologetically, said, "I just went to see Aunt Yao. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."

Seeing Zhan Wan'er's worried and caring expression, Xiaoran was deeply moved. Although he had been cursed since childhood, having a mother who cared for him was a great source of happiness. Without her, Xiaoran might not have survived this rebirth.

Thinking of this, Xiaoran smiled and said excitedly, "Mother, you don't need to worry. The curse in my body has been lifted, and I can now practice martial arts. I won't be so weak anymore."

Zhan Wan'er, surprised and delighted, said, "Is that true?"

Xiaoran, excitedly, said, "Of course it's true."

Zhan Wan'er frowned, "But how is that possible?"

Xiaoran quickly explained, "It happened like this. One day, I was feeling stuffy in the room, so I decided to go out for a walk. But as soon as I stepped out of the door, I was hit on the head by something..."

Hearing this, Zhan Wan'er angrily said, "Who did this? How dare they hit my son?"

Xiaoran shook his head and smiled, "No, it was a ring that hit me, not a person. Mother, you wouldn't believe how magical this ring is. It turned into a small green dragon and flew towards me. I was so scared, thinking it was going to eat me. I closed my eyes and waited, but nothing happened. When I checked, I found that the small green dragon had turned into a ring on my left hand."

Xiaoran called out "Xiaomimi" a few times in his mind, and soon the mystic ring appeared in its original form, shining with a green light. He excitedly raised his arm and said, "Mother, isn't it amazing? It can become invisible, and there's a voice inside that often talks to me."

Seeing Xiaoran's flushed face, Zhan Wan'er was filled with shock.

The curse was lifted just like that? How is that possible?

"Can this ring help others lift their curses?" Zhan Wan'er looked at the green-lighted mystic ring on Xiaoran's finger, full of hope.

Xiaoran asked Xiaomimi about this, but Xiaomimi immediately denied it, saying that only he, the owner, could do it. Xiaoran had to tell her the truth and then asked curiously, "Mother, is there someone else who has been cursed like me?"

Zhan Wan'er smiled bitterly, "The curse in Zhan'er's body is a hereditary curse, passed through the bloodline. Everyone in our clan has a curse, but the severity varies."

Xiaoran's face changed, and he quickly asked, "Does Mother also have a curse?"

Zhan Wan'er nodded, smiled without concern, and then changed the subject, "By the way, why did you come looking for me, Zhan'er?"

Xiaoran, recovering from his shock, said excitedly, "The curse in my body has been lifted, and I want to practice martial arts with Mother."

Zhan Wan'er did not immediately agree but reached out to grab Xiaoran's hand, closed her eyes, and examined him. After a moment, she smiled with surprise and nodded, "The life force in Zhan'er's body is almost no longer being drained. As long as we strengthen his body, he should be able to live a normal life soon."

She then frowned and said, "However, Zhan'er's body is still too weak to practice martial arts. I'll teach you a set of exercises to strengthen your body first. When we return to the Zhan Clan, I'll take you to the martial arts pavilion to choose suitable martial arts."

"Return to the Zhan Clan?"

Xiaoran was taken aback, "Mother, didn't you say I was to learn body strengthening techniques here from Aunt Yao? Why are we suddenly returning to the Zhan Clan?"

Zhan Wan'er smiled, "We were actually supposed to return earlier, but because Zhan'er's body was always weak, we delayed it. Now that the curse has been lifted, the threat to his life is gone. With proper care, he will recover quickly. The Zhan Clan is known as the strongest clan in Tiangong. Returning earlier will allow Zhan'er to receive the best training, leading to greater achievements in the future."

Thinking of the Zhan Clan, which his mother often mentioned, Xiaoran said with great anticipation, "Mother, can I become a great martial artist?"

Zhan Wan'er reached out and touched his head, smiling, "There are five major realms in martial arts: Postnatal, Prenatal, Transcendent, Nirvana, and Cataclysm. Each realm has nine levels. As long as Zhan'er persists, he will surely become a great martial artist one day."

Xiaoran nodded excitedly, "Mother, I will definitely become a great martial artist."

Zhan Wan'er smiled and then led the still excited Xiaoran back to the courtyard, deciding to teach him the body-strengthening exercises.
