A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 75: Fellow Countrymen Reunite

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The Xiaohan Secret Realm was about to close.

Li Xuanxiao was hiding inside a certain cave.

This time, the harvest had been bountiful.

These resources hadn’t been refined yet—they were still raw materials.

Once turned into pills, the value could double.

Just like the difference between a watermelon and watermelon juice.

You could buy a watermelon for twenty spirit stones,

But probably couldn’t afford a glass of juice.

Looked like he wouldn’t need to leave Silver Sword Peak for years.

Li Xuanxiao exhaled in satisfaction.

It had been hard work, but deeply fulfilling.

Finally, he could breathe easy.

Calm down!! He was still inside the secret realm.

Better to relax once he returned to Silver Sword Peak.

So Li Xuanxiao patiently waited for Xiaohan Realm to close.

At the same time, Li Xuanxiao was using a clone to remotely observe the battles of other Golden Core cultivators.

The more you see, the more you learn—real combat improves your odds.

Just then, all cultivators inside Xiaohan Realm felt a powerful force.

Everyone froze involuntarily.

Including Li Xuanxiao.

His hair stood on end, and in an instant, he used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground.

At that moment, golden glowing text appeared in front of him.

【Fellow Daoists, welcome to Xiaohan Secret Realm】

【I’ve left behind a treasure trove within this secret realm, containing rare resources, techniques... consider it a special reward for you all】

【But to gain access, you must answer my questions】

“What the hell?”

“What is this? A treasure trove?”

“I’ve been through so many secret realms and never seen something like this.”

“Could it be a legacy left behind by some powerhouse?”

“..........”

The crowd buzzed with excitement and anticipation.

Li Xuanxiao quickly scanned the golden text, his face turning a little grim.

【Alright, now please listen to the questions carefully】

【First question: Odd changes, even remains unchanged. Please give the next line】

【Second question: Palace jade liquor wine, please give the next line】

【Third question: how are you, please give the next line】

【Answer out loud to qualify for entry into the treasure trove】

Li Xuanxiao: (ΩДΩ)!!!

Previously, from the intel he got from Gu Yue back at Mount Shushan, he had already suspected there might be another transmigrator.

Now he was 100% sure.

There was someone else who had transmigrated here besides him.

No—maybe not just one.

Based on his experience reading hundreds of female-protagonist novels and countless male-protagonist ones—

In the female stories: “Fellow countrymen reunite, tears in their eyes, fall in love and everything’s sweet.”

In the male stories: “Kill the fellow transmigrator first.”

And this transmigrator had deliberately left this treasure site and these specific questions.

It seemed... it seemed like they were trying to find someone else like them.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!!

Treasure site?

More like a burial ground.

Li Xuanxiao ignored it and started chanting the Clear Heart Mantra.

Clearing away distracting thoughts.

Otherwise, he might’ve accidentally spoken the answers aloud.

Odd changes, even remains unchanged, check the quadrant of the sign!!

Even though the instructions said to say the answer out loud—

Who knew if that was a trap too? Maybe even thinking the answer would be enough to get caught…

Those who scheme must always guard against being schemed against.

After repeating the Clear Heart Mantra a few more times, Li Xuanxiao opened his eyes again.

The golden text had disappeared.

Looked like he needed to be more careful in the future—never reveal anything from his original world.

The Xiaohan Secret Realm began sealing up, rejecting outsiders.

“...........”

Li Xuanxiao left the Xiaohan Realm without incident and returned to the sect.

This time, he made an exception and used the Windrider Cart he had gotten from Fan Yue. It was insanely fast.

Originally, Fan Yue had left it for Lin Wanqing before reincarnating—but it ended up with Li Xuanxiao.

Riding the Windrider Cart, he got back to Mount Shushan in half the time.

He went to the Sword Bearing Pavilion to hand in his mission and placed his jade slip.

Then, turned around and used Earth Escape Technique.

Perfectly avoided the incoming Su Wan.

The abstract queen herself.

Li Xuanxiao had sensed that Su Wan’s aura seemed off—restless, even.

Huh? What’s going on?

His internal alarms rang again.

He returned to his straw hut on Silver Sword Peak.

“Senior Brother, you’re back.”

Zhao Lu emerged from the warm spring.

She had draped only a snow-white bath towel over herself, just barely covering her delicate figure, yet accentuating her curvaceous silhouette.

Her long, damp hair clung to her fair shoulders, and water droplets slid down the strands, landing on her porcelain-like skin like dew on morning lotus leaves, crystal-clear and shimmering.

Her tender skin, freshly bathed, looked extra smooth and delicate—like it would leak water if touched, glowing with a seductive sheen.

Honestly, she’d been soaking in the hot spring every day these past days—

All for this one moment, this one scene.

She’d waited forever for Senior Brother to return.

She was about to get waterlogged.

And just today, he finally came back. Zhao Lu had already spotted him.

So she quickly stripped and swam a round in the Silver Sword Peak hot spring, then pretended to “just notice” him.

Of course, none of this escaped Li Xuanxiao’s eyes.

He couldn’t be bothered to expose her. He tossed her the treasures he’d prepared long ago.

“Train properly... wait, you’ve reached Foundation Establishment?”

Li Xuanxiao suddenly sensed a shift in her aura.

“Yup.” Zhao Lu beamed. “I did, but I’m still far from your Golden Core.”

Li Xuanxiao’s expression darkened. “Who told you I’m Golden Core?”

“Guessed.” Zhao Lu replied honestly. “With Senior Brother’s cautious nature, hiding a realm or two is normal, right?”

Li Xuanxiao fell silent.

“Senior Brother, tell me, what grade is your Golden Core? Third-grade? Don’t tell me it’s first-grade?”

“What Golden Core.” Li Xuanxiao waved it off. “This ‘Golden Core’ isn’t the same as Mount Shushan’s definition, nor the cultivation world’s. I just made some improvements on the Foundation Establishment stage.”

He spoke while walking.

“Golden Core’s not that easy to form—others spend twenty, thirty years.

I’m not even planning to condense one yet. Just breathing on it and it forms? That’s impossible.”

.........

Back in the straw hut.

Li Xuanxiao planned to check Feng Liuli’s homework later that night.

But he figured it probably didn’t need his attention anymore—he could focus on other things.

Like preparing for potential transmigrators!!

He needed to go into seclusion for a while to absorb the materials he’d just obtained.

The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

But before that, there was one more thing to deal with.

Earlier today, Senior Sister Su Wan’s aura had been unstable.

Li Xuanxiao opened the Twin Recording Stone linked to Su Wan’s cave and started watching the replay.

He had no idea what had happened while he was away from Mount Shushan these days.
