BTTH: The Legend Of Xiu Emperor

The woman in the pool was completely submerged in the water, with only her head and her long, straight, white legs exposed.

"Your legs?" Yun Xui said with a dry throat, his eyes never leaving those legs.

The "snake" noticed Yun Xui staring at her legs and couldn't move his eyes. She couldn't help but smile and said, "These legs are white, long, and thin. Do you want to touch them?"

Yun Xui's throat burned, and he nodded: "Yes."

Then he slowly walked toward the "snake."

He reached out to touch her slender, white legs and asked, "Do you want me to touch you?"

The snake nodded: "Hmm."

The fantasy was so beautiful that Yun Xui couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion. He walked slowly toward the pool as if possessed.

Yun Xui walked on the water, always keeping a distance of one centimeter from the surface, making it look like he was walking on air.

The "snake" was stunned. She couldn't believe that the other party could actually walk on water. From her knowledge, this ability could only be achieved by a Dou Zong expert.

At this moment, she was truly shocked.

Why would a Dou Zong expert appear in the Xiao family?

Why had she never seen him before?

Why did he peek at her bathing?

Why was he walking toward her?

And why was he wearing a mask?

At this moment, countless questions emerged in the "snake's" mind, but she didn't dare to speak. She was still in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

She simply watched the man approach her.

Yun Xui moved closer and finally squatted in front of the "snake."

He reached out and touched her legs.

Just that slight touch made the "snake's" body tremble. It was this trembling that brought Yun Xui back to his senses.

At that moment, he understood.

"Miss, I..."

Yun Xui looked up at her. He wanted to explain that it was a misunderstanding, but could it be?

If he believed it, would the other person believe it?

If he had seen her and walked away, perhaps it might have been considered a misunderstanding.

But Yun Xui not only stayed but also touched her legs. How could this be a misunderstanding?

This was clearly inappropriate behavior.

When Yun Xui spoke, not only did he understand, but the "snake" did too.

She snapped out of it, reached for the sword behind her, and slashed at Yun Xui.

"Scoundrel, take this!"

Yun Xui looked up at the sword, and suddenly, he saw more than he should have—everything was white.

Click.

The sword was controlled by an invisible force, and the blade that was aimed at Yun Xui's head inexplicably veered off course.

The sword was sharp.

It cut off a strand of Yun Xui's hair and, at the same time, sliced the string of his mask. The mask fell off.

"Take this sword again!"

Although her first strike missed, the "snake" was not discouraged. She prepared to strike again.

But when she raised her head, she froze.

She held the sword above her head but didn't bring it down.

"Uh?"

"My mask."

Yun Xui caught the mask as it slowly fell. The next second, the space around him fluctuated slightly, and he disappeared.

A few seconds later, the "snake" slowly came back to her senses. She picked up the strand of hair floating in the water and stared at it for a few seconds, her thoughts unclear.

Then she stood up and left the pool.

---

Yun Xui was now standing in the void, hiding himself with his power.

Every move of the "snake" was within Yun Xui's view.

He watched as she left the pool and headed somewhere else.

Yun Xui put the mask back on and muttered, "Damn it, Xiao Yan tricked me."

[Xiao Yan: What the hell? What's happening to me? Why do I feel a chill down my spine?]

He thought back to Xiao Yan's sneaky behavior. After being caught by him, Xiao Yan had run faster than a rabbit.

Now he understood. Xiao Yan ran away, and Yun Xui had accidentally stumbled upon her. If it had ended there, it might have been a simple misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding.

But Yun Xui didn't leave. Instead, he touched her legs.

Just a touch.

To be precise, a single touch.

The sensation was irresistible—silky and smooth like jade. Her legs were as flawless as a sculpture.

Of course, that wasn't the point.

The point was...

"What a sin!" Yun Xui sighed.

Looking at her retreating figure, he murmured, "She must be Xiao Yu, right?"

"It's truly a sin."

"Uh?"

Yun Xui was slightly startled and looked into the distance.

He murmured, "He's coming fast."

"I thought it would take some time for him to arrive, but I didn't expect him to come so soon, and with a Dou Huang expert following him."

"It seems Nalan Yanran right now isn't just important to the Nalan family but also to the Yunlan Sect."

With that, Yun Xui's figure gradually disappeared.

---

At the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

Nalan Su and Yun Yun finally arrived.

Nalan Su walked up to the gate and said to the two guards, "I am Nalan Su. Inform Patriarch Xiao Zhan of my arrival."

The two guards were momentarily stunned before snapping back to their senses and rushing into the Xiao Mansion to report.

"Yes, sir..."

They knew who Nalan Su was.

As the patriarch of the Nalan family in the imperial capital, the Capital of Jia Ma Empire, he was someone far above their small Xiao family.

"Sect Master Yun Yun, can you sense Yanran's aura?" Nalan Su asked the woman beside him.

"Yes."

Yun Yun nodded slightly and said, "I can sense her aura. Yanran is indeed in the Xiao Mansion, and she's safe."

"Is that so?"

Nalan Su breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear."

---

Upon hearing of Nalan Su's arrival, Xiao Zhan quickly sent someone to inform Nalan Yanran and hurried to the gate.

He didn't want Nalan Su to feel slighted.

"Brother Nalan." Xiao Zhan clasped his fists and greeted Nalan Su with a smile.

"Brother Xiao."

Nalan Su responded with a warm smile.

Xiao Zhan noticed Yun Yun but quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look too long.

He didn't recognize her, but given her company with Nalan Su, her noble status was evident. She was not someone the Xiao family could afford to offend.

"Master Yun Yun, please."

Hearing this, Nalan Su didn't step forward but instead respectfully introduced Yun Yun.

Boom.

Xiao Zhan froze as if struck by lightning. This was the current leader of the Yunlan Sect—Yun Yun!
