After Ji Ran helped Xiao Yanzi relieve the siege, he went back to the back mountain.

Xiao Yanzi returned to her residence, but she was very strange in her heart, "What is the origin of this aunt?" Can't you even get to the bottom of her, teacher? ”

"I'm not a peerless master, I'm just an alchemist, and besides, the Douqi Continent is so big, and there are so many people with countless strong backgrounds, how can I understand everyone's background clearly?" Yao Lao shook his head with a wry smile and said.

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yanzi's heart was extremely shocked, it had been a long time since he heard Yao Lao's humble language, it turned out that this aunt was really unusual, and she actually made her teacher look embarrassed.

"Boy, you don't have to worry about those things, as long as you cultivate well and improve your strength, this is your right path, and the rest, let's put it aside for now." Yao Lao persuaded Xiao Yanzi.

"Yes, I know, Master." Xiao Yanzi nodded, he still understands this truth, the strength of the Douqi Continent is respected, and there is nothing without strength, so if you want to be respected and not looked down upon, the only way is to constantly improve your strength.

After Ji Ran returned to the back mountain, she was planning to take a bath, but in fact, in the space ring that Xiao Zhan gave her, there were also some auxiliary medicines such as potions, and the effect was far better than the potion that Yao Lao refined for Xiao Yanzi.

As long as you insist on soaking every day for a period of time, even if you don't do anything, your strength will grow rapidly.

Ji Ran had just taken off his clothes and was about to enter the medicine pool, but suddenly heard a sound behind his ears, although it was very subtle, but due to the improvement of Ji Ran's strength, his ears and eyes were much more sensitive than before, so he still easily noticed the abnormality.

She turned suddenly, and saw a figure flash by, as fast as lightning.

Ji Ran immediately understood, it was none other than Xiao Zhan, who else had such a fast speed?

Could it be that he was spying on himself before?

Thinking of this, Ji Ran's delicate body chilled slightly, but he was helpless, who called his strength strong, not to mention the entire Xiao family, I am afraid that no one in the entire Douqi Continent is his opponent, doesn't he want to see who to watch, and who he wants to tease?

Thinking of this, Ji Ran smiled calmly, gently covered her breasts, and returned to the living room.

"Brother Xiao Zhan, is there anything you need my little sister to do?" Ji Ran asked into the empty living room.

Xiao Zhan smiled awkwardly, so he had to show up and smile shyly at Ji Ran.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it was really a misunderstanding just now, I, Xiao, didn't mean to take advantage of my sister." Xiao Zhan arched his hand embarrassedly at Ji Ran and said.

"Brother Xiao has seen the outside, with Brother Xiao's strength, even if he wants a sister, what ability does the sister have to resist?" Ji Ran smiled bitterly, looked at Xiao Zhan and said.

Xiao Zhan looked at Ji Ran's eyes that seemed to be a little pitiful, but full of amorous eyes, even if he was the strength of the peak Dou Emperor, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart.

"Ahem, girl, in fact, I came this time to ask you for help." Xiao Zhan coughed twice in embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic.

"What's the matter?" Ji Ran asked strangely.

"Two days later, I may have to go on a long trip, maybe I will return in two or three days, maybe three or five days, at most half a month, I hope that during this time, can Sister Xiaoran help me take care of the affairs of the family?" As soon as Xiao Zhan's words came out, Ji Ran was quite surprised.

"Do you want me to take care of the affairs of the Xiao family?" Ji Ran felt so strange, he was not a member of the Xiao family, not to mention that even if he was, what qualifications did he have to act as Xiao Zhan's patriarch?

Let's not talk about whether I have this qualification or not, even if I do, will the elders of the Xiao family agree?

How will the people of the Xiao family feel?

You must know that the Douqi Continent is more patriarchal than the ancient times on the earth, in addition to the three obedience and four virtues of women, it is even stipulated that once a woman gets married, it is her husband's private property, and she can be disposed of by her husband casually, and in a family, the status of women is even lower and pitiful, even if they are men and women with similar strength, women must take the initiative to retreat when they see men.

Now that Ji Ran is in the Xiao family, whether it is age, seniority or identity, he is far inferior to the three elders, where is he qualified to help Xiao Zhan take care of family affairs?

"This girl doesn't have to worry, I have a pill here, after the sister takes it, the voice can change, just like my voice, and then, put on my Xiao Zhan's clothes, put on this face, you can pretend to be me, unless I go to tell it, no one knows that you are me."

"Brother Xiao, is this okay?" Ji Ran asked strangely.

"How not? Before, I once asked a down-and-out beggar on the street to disguise me for three days, and no one could recognize me, let alone Bingxue's smart little sister? Xiao Zhan said with a smile, looking at Ji Ran with a hint of provocative expression in his eyes.

Hearing Xiao Zhan say this, Ji Ran knew that he had done it before, but why did he do it?

"It's not a secret, there have been some changes in the East China Sea recently, I think it should be that the giant beasts of the flood are going to make waves again, if that's the case, I'm afraid that the coastal residents will suffer again, I want to take a few days to deal with it, and by the way, see if I can get any benefits?" Xiao Zhan said with a smile, but he didn't hide it at all.

"So that's the case, is Brother Xiao sure? I heard that the strength of the Flood Desolation Giant Beast is very strong, far from being comparable to ordinary Demonic Beasts. Ji Ran asked a little uneasily, but anyone who is stained with the word "Honghuang" is probably the top boss.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, don't forget, I'm already the supreme of the Douqi plane, a mere desolate beast, I can't help me, at least three or four days, at most half a month, I will definitely rush back." Xiao Zhan said confidently.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Brother Xiao." Seeing that Xiao Zhan was so sure, Ji Ran nodded and agreed.

"By the way, in two days, it will be the day when the Douqi Pavilion will be opened, and those disciples of the clan who have just participated in the coming-of-age ceremony can go to the Douqi Pavilion to find their own exercises, although the rules of the clan are that in order to ensure fairness, everyone is randomly obtained, and they can practice whatever exercises they can draw, but you also know that the parents in this world, how can they have no selfish intentions?

Although Xiao Yanzi is only my nominal son, however, he is also my son, I have prepared a few slightly better exercises for him here, and when the time comes, you can help me hide in the Douqi Pavilion, write down the room, and then tell Xiao Yanzi the room secretly, and help him draw it smoothly. Xiao Zhan said, handing over a few better exercises to Ji Ran.
