"Moreover"
A glint of cunning flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he suddenly squatted down, wrapped his arms around Xun Er's thighs, and lifted her up.
"Ah!" Suddenly lifted by Xiao Yan, Xun Er exclaimed in surprise, her hands instinctively reaching out to hug Xiao Yan's neck. At this moment, she was a head taller than Xiao Yan.
"Consider that Heavenly Tomb as the betrothal gift to the Gu Clan. Since your Gu Clan has accepted the betrothal gift, you are my wife." Xiao Yan grinned, revealing a brilliant smile, and looked up at Xun Er, who was taller than him.
Xun Er lowered her head, and their eyes met. They could see each other's reflection in their eyes.
Gazing at the enchanting smile so close, that captivating smile only bloomed so perfectly and movingly when she was alone with Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan gege..."
Xun Er could no longer conceal her emotions. Her hands gently caressed Xiao Yan's cheeks as she slowly lowered her head and took the initiative to kiss him.
In the blending of the night, their lips met.
After six years of separation, the emotions within them erupted at this moment, like a fine wine aged for many years. When the lid was opened, the fragrance did not fade with time but became even richer.
They kissed passionately, and Xiao Yan moved his feet, stepping onto the bed and gently placing the beauty in his arms on the bed.
Moonlight streamed through the window onto Xun Er's exquisite face. In the moonlight, the blush on Xun Er's face appeared even more vibrant, and her beautiful eyes gazed straight at Xiao Yan with affection.
Like a jade beauty, Xun Er's dark hair was scattered on the bed, her hands placed weakly, and her lips were slightly parted, breathing hastily with a trace of Xiao Yan's saliva at the corner of her mouth.
His gaze fixed on Xun Er, a hint of heat involuntarily surfaced in Xiao Yan's eyes, and his large hands couldn't help but move stealthily, beginning to misbehave.
Feeling Xiao Yan's hand misbehaving, Xun Er's cheeks instantly became burning hot, and those autumn-like eyes were now filled with a hint of mist.
Xiao Yan's throat rolled slightly, and his mouth felt dry. The wicked fire that had previously surged in his lower abdomen now erupted violently, causing a hint of flame to surge into his eyes.
As if sensing some changes in Xiao Yan, Xun Er's cheeks became even more shy and flushed. Then, under the slow caress of Xiao Yan's hand on her waist, she let out a soft moan.
This subtle moan was like a demonic sound, causing Xiao Yan's heart to beat wildly. He finally couldn't help but lean down and kiss her alluring lips again.
As their lips met, that soft and smooth sensation caused both of their bodies to become burning hot at that moment!
Just as Xiao Yan was unbuttoning his shirt, an old voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Cough, Miss, this old one has something to discuss."
Xiao Yan and Xun Er's bodies instantly stiffened. Xun Er also returned to her senses and saw her disheveled clothes, with some of her fair skin exposed. Her beautiful eyes glared at Xiao Yan with shame and anger. She hurriedly got out of bed and straightened her clothes.
Seeing Xun Er's shy and angry appearance, Xiao Yan helplessly spread his hands. This was only human nature, and even a Dou Di couldn't control it!
What left Xiao Yan speechless was that he had sealed the entire room with his Soul power. How could those old geezers still know?
Xiao Yan had misunderstood. The two Dou Zuns couldn't sense anything, but because Xun Er had been inside for too long, they were afraid that something might happen, so they came to remind her.
"Well, it's not my fault, alas." After explaining, Xiao Yan directly lowered his head in dejection. He had never expected that his self-control would be so poor in front of Xun Er.
Seeing Xiao Yan's dejected appearance, a smile couldn't help but appear on Xun Er's flushed and charming face, but she quickly restrained it and whispered, "Xiao Yan gege, you're such a scoundrel, actually thinking of doing something bad."
Xiao Yan raised his head, moved his mouth, and muttered helplessly, "Who told my Xun Er to be so attractive? But just now, Xun Er, you yourself also..."
"Don't say it!"
Xun Er's cheeks flushed again, and she hurriedly stretched out her Jade Hand to cover Xiao Yan's mouth, but the latter grabbed her arm. Just as she thought Xiao Yan was going to do something bad again, she saw the undisguised affection in those dark eyes.
Under Xiao Yan's gaze, the blush on Xun Er's face gradually faded. Her pearly teeth gently bit her red lips, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. Then, she suddenly lowered her head and kissed Xiao Yan's cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"Xiao Yan gege, the bloodline in Xun Er's body has not yet fully awakened, so we cannot engage in intimate relations, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. It's better to wait until the Coming-of-Age Ceremony... okay?"
Hearing the faint voice like a mosquito buzzing in her ear, a look of astonishment flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He tilted his head slightly and saw that even the girl's crystal-clear earlobes had turned fiery red.
No wonder Xun Er wanted to give him the Ancient Jade Token!
So that's what she meant!!
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt as if he had taken stimulants. He had never been so eager for power as he was now!
The time left for Xiao Yan was running out! The next time the Heavenly Tomb opened, he, Xiao Yan, must have enough strength to marry the woman before him!
After saying those words, Xun Er's mind was buzzing. She couldn't imagine that she would say such a thing. Without waiting for Xiao Yan to say anything, she moved and darted towards the door.
Watching Xun Er's figure, Xiao Yan gently clenched his fist. The feeling was indescribable.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in Xiao Yan's mind, and he remembered what happened with Cai Lin that day. For a moment, Xiao Yan's heart was in turmoil, caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Finished. How am I supposed to explain this?"
Xiao Yan understood Xun Er's feelings for him. If it weren't for the matter of bloodlines, Xun Er would even be willing to give herself to him.
But the problem was, could Xun Er accept that matter! What if Xun Er couldn't accept it! Xiao Yan couldn't bear that consequence! It was a consequence he absolutely couldn't accept!
The creaking sound of a door opening, the door suddenly swung open, and Xun Er's figure appeared in the eyes of the two Gu Clan Elders.
"Miss!"
Seeing Xun Er come out, the two black-clad old men immediately became excited, their old eyes even showing a hint of tearful impulse. If these young lovers had acted impulsively, the entire Gu Clan would probably go crazy. They would be sinners for all time!
Seeing their appearance, Xun Er's face, which she was trying to keep cold, couldn't help but flush slightly, but fortunately, her voice seemed particularly calm: "Elder Lin, what are you two doing?"
The white-haired old man's mouth twitched, and he said somewhat tremulously: "Miss, you and Xiao Yan, you didn't do anything, did you?"
"What nonsense are you thinking!"
Being asked so bluntly, the blush on Xun Er's cheeks immediately surged again. She glared at the two of them with some guilt, then pushed them aside and hurried towards her room.
Hearing this, the two black-clad old men breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I see that Miss's aura hasn't changed, so she probably didn't do that sort of thing..." The white-haired old man watched Xun Er's departing figure, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said.
"It's also because we arrived in time. With Miss's personality, if it really was nothing, how could even her ears have turned red? But fortunately, it hasn't reached that step yet." The black-clad old man touched his heart, which was beating like a drum, and said with a wry smile.
Immediately, the two of them looked at the tightly closed door. With their strength, they naturally couldn't penetrate Xiao Yan's Soul power barrier. The two of them thought with lingering fear: "This kid is even more terrifying than the Soul Clan, he almost destroyed the Gu Clan!!"
In the following days, Xiao Yan was also happy to be idle. Every day, he took Xun Er to stroll around Ye City, as if he had returned to the time in Wutan City.
The only difference was that there was also the Little Fairy Doctor by their side during these leisurely days.
After all, the Little Fairy Doctor was now also an Alchemist, and Ye City was one of the Pill Domain's five major Alchemist cities. Here, she could buy all kinds of things related to Alchemists.
The Little Fairy Doctor also wanted to buy some things related to Alchemists and herb cultivation, so she asked Xiao Yan to take her along to find some things in Ye City.
At this time, Xiao Yan was even more afraid to tell Xun Er about that matter.
"Xiao Yan, does this jade hairpin look good?"
"Of course it looks good. Anything Xun Er wears looks good. If you want it, I'll buy it and give it to Xun Er."
"Xiao Yan, is this two-mouthed Pill Refining Furnace suitable for me to use now?"
"Of course it's suitable. You can already refine First Grade Pills, so it's only natural to change to a two-mouthed Pill Refining Furnace."
"Xiao Yan..."
"Xiao Yan."
Just as Xiao Yan was enduring the resentful, envious, and jealous gazes of the people around him, he felt caught in a dilemma, realizing how difficult it was to be a man. A familiar aura came from outside Ye City at a rapid speed.
Sensing this aura, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed as he looked towards the horizon. Xun Er and the Little Fairy Doctor also frowned slightly.
A dozen or so black shadows brought a gust of fishy wind as they swept across the sky like a storm.
As they got closer, they realized that these somewhat large black shadows were actually Four-Winged Unicorns with four wings and sharp horns on their heads. Standing on the heads of these Unicorns were figures wearing purple-black robes, and a subtle, majestic aura quietly rippled from these figures.
On the leading Four-Winged Unicorn, a man stood with his hands behind his back. The man's appearance was extremely handsome, but at this moment, his face was filled with a hint of gloom.
Xiao Yan and Xun Er were quite familiar with this person. Ling Quan, this person was none other than the Black Submerging Army commander who had taken Xun Er away from the Inner Academy back then and had a conflict with Xiao Yan! He was also an opponent that Xiao Yan had barely managed to defeat after exhausting all his strength.
"Xiao Yan! This time, I will definitely trample you under my feet!" Ling Quan said in a faint voice, a gloomy anger flashing in his eyes.
Ling Quan was expressionless, but his fist slowly clenched, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.
Six years! Do you know how I spent these six years!!
Since being defeated by Xiao Yan back then, Ling Quan had also learned from his pain, turning his frustration into motivation, and not daring to slack off for a single day, constantly cultivating.
He, Ling Quan, didn't want to prove how amazing he was, but just wanted to tell everyone that he would personally take back this humiliation! So when he learned that Xun Er had left the Gu Clan for a long time and had not returned, he volunteered to the Gu Clan's Council of Elders! Because he knew that Xun Er must have gone to find Xiao Yan!
Before long, two Dou Zun Elders opened space and came to Xun Er's side. Zi Yan and Qing Lin also followed.
Elder Lin said, "It should be the Black Submerging Army. I smell the scent of the Four-Winged Unicorns."
Hearing this, Xun Er sighed secretly. She knew that she had to return to the Gu Clan.
Xiao Yan took Xun Er's Jade Hand and smiled, "It's okay, three years. Wait for me for three years, and I will go to the Gu Clan after three years."
Xun Er smiled sweetly, nodding and saying, "I believe Xiao Yan-gege will definitely shock the Gu Clan then."
...
Before long, more than a dozen dark figures finally appeared above Ye City, and then the massive Four-Winged Unicorn slowly stopped above a restaurant.
At this time, Xiao Yan and his group had booked the entire restaurant, and were sitting in an elegant private room enjoying exquisite pastries and tea. Qing Lin was pouring hot tea for Xun Er, while Zi Yan was devouring large meat buns like a dragon swallowing a tiger, exclaiming how delicious they were with each bite.
"Zi Yan, no one is fighting you for it, take your time and don't choke," Xiao Yan said, rolling his eyes helplessly at the little girl.
Xun Er and Little Fairy Doctor sat on either side, chatting and laughing with Xiao Yan, creating a joyful atmosphere as if the Black Submerging Army didn't exist.
"Ling Quan, commander of the Black Submerging Army, greets Miss!"
Ling Quan descended from mid-air and respectfully cupped his fist towards Xun Er, but his gaze was actually directed at Xiao Yan! Xun Er didn't answer, and Elder Lin beside her asked, "What are you doing here? Does Miss need to listen to your orders?"
"Hehe, Elder Lin, you jest. We received orders from the Council of Elders to specifically escort Miss back to the Ancient Realm," Ling Quan said respectfully.
Seeing that Ling Quan had brought up the Council of Elders, the white-haired old man didn't say anything more, but turned his gaze to Xun Er, awaiting her decision.
Before Xun Er could speak, Xiao Yan spoke up first, saying, "Oh, isn't this Commander Ling Quan? I almost didn't recognize you with your face not swollen."
"Xiao Yan!!!" Ling Quan clenched his fists, his eyes seeming to spit fire as he heard Xiao Yan's mocking words.
Xiao Yan was like a nightmare to him, constantly haunting his mind. Every time he cultivated, he would remember the terrifying fire lotus and the powerful Strange Flame, which had become his inner demon.
His purpose in coming this time was to eliminate his inner demon!
A terrifying Dou Zong aura emanated from Ling Quan, who had actually reached the Five-Star Dou Zong realm!
The terrifying power of a Five-Star Dou Zong frightened the surrounding passersby into fleeing, and the entire restaurant was shaking.
Xiao Yan gently sipped his tea, not forgetting to pick up a piece of red bean cake with his chopsticks, and said as he ate, "Ling Quan, ah, Ling Quan, six years have passed, and you've only managed to reach Five-Star Dou Zong. I'm very disappointed."
Xiao Yan released his Soul barrier, revealing his Five-Star Dou Zong cultivation.
"Five-Star Dou Zong!! How is that possible! You're just a fallen Young Clan Leader of Xiao Family, how could you have improved so quickly!" Ling Quan's worldview shattered at this moment.
Six years ago, Xiao Yan was only a One-Star Dou Wang, but now he had reached Five-Star Dou Zong!! He had only managed to reach Five-Star Dou Zong with the resources, Secret Realm, and inheritance of the Gu Clan. What did Xiao Yan rely on!!
"Even if your cultivation is the same as mine, so what! I cultivate the Gu Clan's Cultivation Method and Dou Technique, all of which have reached Earth Rank High-Level! I will definitely not lose this time!" Ling Quan was like a madman at this moment, his eyes already red. He would never admit that Xiao Yan's talent surpassed his! Even if the facts were right in front of him, he still had countless excuses to convince himself.
Self-deception.
"Ling Quan, step back!" Xun Er said coldly.
Hearing Xun Er's cold shout, the killing intent on Ling Quan's body remained undiminished. He actually ignored Xun Er's order, staring at Xiao Yan with bloodshot eyes, like a vicious wolf.
Xun Er's eyes immediately turned cold, and she said, "Elder Lin, take him down."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the two black-clad old men respectfully responded, taking a step forward, about to attack, when Ling Quan suddenly took two steps back. A flash of light appeared in his palm, and a palm-sized blood-red Jade Token appeared, with a flamboyant "Gu" character painted on it!
"Ancient Jade Token?"
Seeing this blood-red Jade Token, the two black-clad old men immediately stopped, their expressions changing drastically.
"The Council of Elders has issued a strict order that if anyone from the Xiao Family is seen on this trip, he should be invited to the Gu Clan for a discussion to inquire about the whereabouts of the Ancient Jade!"
Seeing Ling Quan take out this blood-red Jade Token, the two old men could only sigh, looking at Ling Quan with some pity.
"This person has a problem with his brain," Zi Yan directly mocked. The difference in strength was so obvious, yet he still wanted to challenge Xiao Yan. Besides having a problem with his brain, Zi Yan couldn't think of any other explanation.
But Ling Quan couldn't be blamed. The main reason was that Xiao Yan was his inner demon. He had already turned red-eyed when he saw Xiao Yan, his mind clouded by anger.
Xiao Yan clapped the bread crumbs off his hands, and Qing Lin very obediently helped Xiao Yan move his chair.
"Ling Quan, Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be escaped. Xun Er is already trying to save you, but you're still courting death," Xiao Yan shrugged. Seeing this Ling Quan, Xiao Yan once again evaluated the Gu Clan.
Could it be that the Gu Clan was strong on the outside but weak on the inside? Did they have no one else to use, or what? The Soul Palace knew to send Dou Zun, but you sent a Five-Star Dou Zong?
Or had this Ling Quan offended someone, sending him to his death on purpose? "Xiao Yan-gege..."
"Don't worry, I'll spare his life," Xiao Yan didn't want to strain his relationship with his future in-laws before even proposing marriage.
Originally, Xiao Yan was thinking of killing him with one move, but Nalan Yanran and Feng Qing'er weren't here, so he decided against it.
He formed a hand seal, and a burst of thunder sounded from within Xiao Yan's body.
With a sizzle, a burst of silver lightning erupted from Xiao Yan's body, and immediately a Lightning Clone identical to Xiao Yan appeared.
"Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body?!" Elder Lin recognized the Lightning Clone and exclaimed, this wasn't the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's closely guarded secret?!
"No, something's not right. This Lightning Illusion Body is a bit strange... I think I sense something different," another Elder said, puzzled.
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Just fight my clone then. My Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body has only reached Lesser Mastery, possessing only one-third of my main body's strength."
Seeing that Xiao Yan was actually only using a clone with one-third of his strength to fight him, Ling Quan roared, "Xiao Yan, don't you look down on people!"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't say that. I already think highly of you. After all, I've even used the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame."
With a *roar* of a Dragon's Roar, at this moment, the two Gu Clan Elders finally understood why they felt something different about this Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body! This was a Lightning Illusion Body condensed with a Strange Flame!! Not an ordinary Lightning Illusion Body!
