Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 578 Follow your heart
An Wan seemed to be intentionally leaving space for the two of them. After giving a few simple instructions to the nearby vendors outside the alley, she waved and disappeared.

Hearing the other party's ambiguous words, Xiao Yan felt a little strange, but since the girl was still waiting in the distance, he had to suppress his thoughts for the time being and ran over.

"Ruoruo."

Xiao Yan stood there somewhat awkwardly.

He could vaguely sense Hun Ruoruo's intentions. His so-called joke was just meant to tease this girl who said one thing but meant another. He did not expect her to react so strongly.

However, just as Xiao Yan was racking his brains to try to explain, his right sleeve was gently tugged.

His movements froze, but he did not resist. He just stood there quietly, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

The sleeve was pulled tighter and tighter, and her soft, boneless little hands wrapped around it, but Hun Ruoruo's voice still did not come.

The girl's delicate body pressed close, carrying a sweet, refreshing scent like dewdrops on flower petals, and she wrapped her arms around Xiao Yan's, her swan-like head resting on his shoulder.

Hun Ruoruo's grip was light, but it seemed as if she had used all her strength, and the jade pendant hidden under her clothes made Xiao Yan feel pain.

She didn't speak, yet it was as if everything was understood without words.

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had felt the same way before: tightly embracing someone's arm, the same painful sensation from the object in his arms. Only back then, the person he was facing was his father, and the storage ring in his arms was the only keepsake left by his mother.

Compared to his own crying and questioning of his father back then, the girl in front of him was much more reserved and stronger.

Xiao Yan learned that the essence of the Sound Valley was a dream woven by An Suying at the cost of her own life. He had never heard of such an unbelievable method, and he really couldn't imagine how great the price was.

Upon learning this, Hun Ruoruo not only did not lose control of her emotions, but even smiled and comforted herself, using the jade pendant containing the girl's little thoughts to try to keep everyone she cherished.

She wanted to be seen through, yet she didn't want to be exposed.

How can there be such an awkward person in the world?

The surrounding crowd witnessed this scene, but contrary to expectations, everyone seemed to fall silent at this moment, their eyes flashing with a complex and gentle light.

"Go, block the road, don't let those guys from the enforcement team get here," a slightly overweight middle-aged man whispered his instructions.

"But."

"You and I should both know very well that the real reason why the successor of Yin Gu does not marry outside the family is not a so-called shackle."

The middle-aged man closed his eyes: "Now that the little princess is here, there's nothing left to do but trust that young man."

Xiao Yan felt the body temperature of the girl beside him. Each breath was incredibly steady, and her thick, curtain-like eyelashes trembled, making her originally serene and beautiful face subtly discordant.

His heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he lowered his voice to say, "Ruo Ruo, you..."

"Xiao Yan, do you know why the jade pendant has three engravings?" Hun Ruoruo suddenly asked.

After saying that, under Xiao Yan's puzzled gaze, the girl flicked her finger, and the jade pendant hidden in her bosom appeared in her delicate white palm.

She gripped the young man's arm, pointed to the carving above, and a rare hint of childlike innocence appeared on her face:
“Counting from right to left, Master is first; counting from left to right, Mother is first; and if you are in the middle, you are first.”

"If we calculate it this way, no matter how we arrange them, there won't be a clear order of importance, so we don't have to worry about who comes first or last. Isn't that great?"

The girl's face beamed with pride, her eyes fixed on the young man, as if waiting for his praise.

"."

Xiao Yan's lips parted slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.

He could tell that she was trying to comfort him, but the inexplicable flutter in his heart grew stronger, as if there was a hidden meaning in her words, making him subconsciously want to guess what she was thinking.

Seeing that Xiao Yan hadn't replied yet, Hun Ruoruo puffed out her cheeks and said rather reluctantly, "Alright, I know you don't like beating around the bush, I'll just praise you more in the future." As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, intending to pull him forward: "Come on, come with me for a walk."

The girl's rare, charmingly innocent gesture startled Xiao Yan, and his initial excitement subsided, replaced by a gentle smile.

"it is good."

And so, the two walked side by side along the bustling streets and alleys.

The sun was occasionally obscured by thick clouds, and the shimmering rays of the clouds dispelled the midday heat.

The girl walked briskly through the streets, leaving the lamplight behind, passing through alleys, and occasionally glancing back, but she would always bump into a smiling young man in the crowd.

Their eyes met, their gazes colliding with a power capable of disrupting the galaxy.

Soon after, around dusk.

"It's so nice to shop in your own territory. You don't even have to pay for things. Once you get home, taking more would be considered greedy!"

Hun Ruoruo cheered, holding the last half-skewer of candied hawthorns in her hand, shaking it from time to time, looking very satisfied.

She doesn't like buying expensive items; instead, snacks and treats are more likely to win her heart. Plus, she doesn't have a big appetite, so she doesn't spend too much money.

After all, it's my mother's influence. Even if I don't have to spend any money, I should still consider the merchants' interests to some extent.

She's a member of the Sound Valley after all.

Hun Ruoruo thought for a moment, then muttered to herself with some doubt, "It's strange, I've never heard of a rule in Yin Valley that you don't have to pay for things. When did this kind of privilege come about?"

"Ugh, and there's Xiao Yan too. He promised to go shopping with me, but he's always sneaking around behind me like a bodyguard. So boring."

"However, is it a bit wrong for me to shake him off like this?"

"."

Although Hun Ruoruo was complaining, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

Perhaps it was because she had a rare experience of living the life of a young lady, or perhaps it was because Xiao Yan had followed her throughout, that she completely let go of her worries and accepted everything as it was.

She remembered that she had always been someone who followed her heart.

However, since using the Ascension Technique, the countless emotional shocks have made her seem to have far more concerns than before.

This shouldn't be the case.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and Hun Ruoruo raised her head, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but whisper:
"got windy."

It's the windy season, so it's perfectly normal for the wind to pick up in the evening.

Just as Hun Ruoruo was about to set off for home, she discovered that a magnificent divine bird with colorful wings had somehow crossed the clouds and slowly appeared in the center of her vision.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the young man waving down from above.

"Xiao Xiaoyan?"

"What are you doing, riding a bird and flying in the sky?!"

……

……

……

An alarm suddenly went off in the room, almost giving me a heart attack. This chapter is a little late, please forgive me, dear readers.
