Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 564 Prying Open the Mother-in-Law's Bedroom Door?!
An Suying left quickly.

Unlike last time, as she disappeared, the golden crow that had been hovering above the palace eaves quietly regained its splendor, and the tranquil scene of all things gradually dissipated, as if returning to reality once again.

"That... indecent woman!"

Sensing the boy beside her begin to beat again, Hun Ruoruo gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, her mind filled with the words he had left behind before he left—

"Tsk tsk, this handsome young man is perfect in every way, but it's a pity he's a bit too reserved. If you don't take the initiative, he probably won't dare to touch you until you get married."

"Let me tell you, men are all two-faced wolves. If you don't satisfy him, even if he doesn't say it, he might be harboring some bad intentions behind your back. At that point, you'll have no initiative at all!"

These words sounded like they were for Hun Ruoruo's sake, but the implication was clear: they were practically trying to sell her off.
Is this how a mother acts?!

Hun Ruoruo finally understood why Xiao Yan always looked so depressed when he first met Xiao Zhan. Anyone would be furious if their parents were siding with outsiders.

"Ruo Ruo, Ruo Ruo!"

An anxious call came from beside me, then gradually faded, finally turning into a blank and dazed question: "Hey, how did you wake up?"

"Isn't it good that you're awake? I'm happy as long as I've been sleeping in your arms."

Hun Ruoruo turned her head away from him, her cheeks puffed out, looking somewhat sullen for some reason.

"this--"

Xiao Yan was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.

They initially thought the girl had triggered the seal on the Golden Crow's Cry within her body, which caused her to suddenly fall into a coma. But who would have thought that she would recover completely in just a moment?

He didn't mean to take advantage of us!

"Ruo Ruo, you know that's not what I meant." After a long while, Xiao Yan managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Of course I know you don't mean that."

"."

Hearing that the other party suddenly fell silent, Hun Ruoruo glanced sideways and stole a look in Xiao Yan's direction. After seeing the young man's depressed expression, she couldn't help but purse her pink lips and sigh helplessly.

This kid is exactly as his mother described.

She had already grown to the point where even she felt incredibly at ease, yet she was so cautious and careful in this matter. Did he really think she was that fragile?
But if things really go as my mother says, how should a girl take the lead?
Hun Ruoruo's pretty face flushed slightly, her heart pounded, and the feeling of being anxious and hesitant to speak made her feel uneasy all over.

Seeing that the girl seemed unwilling to talk, Xiao Yan didn't disturb her any further. He gently placed the delicate body in his arms on the chair and then turned to go out for some fresh air.

The commotion caused by activating the Golden Crow's Cry was quite significant. Given the importance that the people of the Sound Valley attached to it, Xiao Yan would not be surprised at all even if it attracted a large number of disciples.

Therefore, in order to create an opportunity for Hun Ruoruo to perceive the cry of the golden crow, the only option was for him to go out and intercept it.

But just as Xiao Yan had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of small boots clicking behind him.

"Xiao Yan."

Hun Ruoruo suddenly called out to Xiao Yan, and while he was still somewhat confused and stunned, she quickly stepped forward and lightly touched his lips like a chick pecking at rice.

She abruptly turned her head away, but her hands spread out in front of her like scattered flowers.

"I'm tired, carry me back." With a "whoosh," Xiao Yan blushed.

Hun Ruoruo and Xiao Yan returned to the mansion.

Without much delay, the moment the two stepped into the room, Hun Ruoruo quickly locked the door, pulled up the blanket, and covered their heads with it. In the darkness, she briefly recounted what she had seen and heard to the other person.

Of course, aside from the news about Yin Valley, she didn't mention much about the Soul Emperor and his subsequent 'private affairs,' leaving Xiao Yan somewhat confused, as if he was missing a lot of crucial information.

Lying in bed, Xiao Yan seemed to be having trouble breathing and couldn't hold back his breath as he asked, "So, you saw your mother earlier?"

"Yes."

Hun Ruoruo stuck out her little bottom, covered her face, and said mysteriously, "My mother said that to uncover the secret of the Sound Valley, we need to find three treasures that bear her soul imprint. Only in this way can we escape from here. The Golden Crow's Cry is one of them."

"Wait a minute, why does this sound like a trick to coax a child?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain. "I remember when I was a kid, I loved to make my dad and older brothers play this with me. They were so annoyed by me."

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's pretty face stiffened, and only because the bed was dark did no one notice anything amiss.

"Why do you care so much?" she stared wide-eyed. "Anyway, now that we have a way out, we don't have to be here blindly anymore. The most urgent thing now is to find the other two treasures."

Upon hearing the girl's words, Xiao Yan knew that she seemed unwilling to talk about it, so he suppressed his curiosity and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time without success, he frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "The question was set by your mother. Based on your understanding of her, what do you think she would do?"

Xiao Yan's knowledge of Hun Ruoruo's mother is still at a basic level; he has never even seen her face, so it's impossible for him to fathom her thoughts.

Therefore, rather than making guesses like searching for a needle in a haystack, it is obviously more appropriate for Hun Ruoruo, who knows An Suying best, to step forward.

Hun Ruoruo nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Given my mother's personality, she certainly wouldn't make the treasure too difficult to obtain. It's not hard to guess that the treasure is both valuable and difficult to acquire."

Xiao Yan's pupils contracted: "You mean an ancestral sacrificial artifact?"

“Hmm.” A glint of light flashed in Hun Ruoruo’s eyes: “Besides the ‘Golden Crow’ kept by the Grand Elder, there is only one other ancestral sacrificial artifact left in Yin Valley.”

"That is another secret treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Valley Master."

"Wait!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was immediately horrified, as if he had heard something horrifying, and he jumped out of bed.

He asked nervously, "Where do you usually keep the Valley Master's secret treasures that you mentioned?"

"The position of Valley Master has been passed down through generations, so it is naturally kept by the Valley Master."

Hun Ruoruo also crawled out from under the covers, giving him a strange look: "Is it that hard to understand?"

His face twitched, then he gave an awkward laugh and said in a dry voice, "You mean, in the end we're still going to break into your mother's room?"

"of course."

Hun Ruoruo blinked and smiled like a cunning little fox.
