Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 888 Playing with Fire and Wetting the Bed (Profound Meaning)
The next day, early morning.

As the sunlight gradually spread across her cheeks, the girl's eyelids trembled, and she slowly awoke from her slumber.

"Well"

A sharp pain shot through her head, causing Hun Ruoruo to gasp and jolt awake from her daze. "It hurts!"

She sat up abruptly in bed, only to find a soft quilt neatly laid out beneath her. The quilt was slightly rough in texture, but it was spotless and warm from being baked in the sun.

"This is... Xiao Yan's room?"

Clutching her head, which seemed to have been severed from her body, Hun Ruoruo didn't even bother to tidy her slightly messy hair, and asked in surprise.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Suddenly, a slightly teasing voice came from inside. Then, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Yan, carrying a bowl of soup, walked into the room.

"Xiao Yan?"

Looking at the smiling young man, Hun Ruoruo couldn't help but ask, "Did you bring me back?"

Xiao Yan remained noncommittal and shrugged: "When he learned that you couldn't hold your liquor, Dad almost broke Second Brother's legs. Here, this is a hangover soup he made for you. Would you like to try some?"

After saying that, Xiao Yan stepped forward and placed the bowl of golden soup with a few mung beans floating in front of Hun Ruoruo.

"Yellow again?"

Upon seeing that familiar yellow color, Hun Ruoruo's pretty face turned slightly pale, as if she were recalling some unpleasant scene, and she quickly and subconsciously covered her mouth.

However, when she smelled that sweet aroma, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered, "Is it honey?"

Xiao Yan nodded with a smile: "I don't know why, but Dad seemed to be able to tell at a glance that you like sweets."

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's eyes glazed over for a moment. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the spoon and began to taste it in small bites, her eyes unconsciously narrowing into crescent moons.

"So sweet."

The Soul Clan demoness, who had killed countless people, revealed a charming and innocent expression that she herself was unaware of.

No matter the time, Utan is the most relaxing place.

This was true for Xiao Yan.

The same applies to her.

"From now on, your father and the others will settle in Tianmu. If you like, you can taste his cooking anytime."

Xiao Yan put one hand on his hip and said with a hint of pride, "It is said that my elder brother said that the reason he was able to win over my mother was not because of his status as a young master of the Xiao family, but because of his cooking skills."

"So, this is why the Third Young Master is so outstanding in alchemy?"

After finishing the soup in her bowl, Hun Ruoruo licked her lips contentedly and chimed in with a grin, "Perhaps Uncle Xiao is also an undiscovered genius in alchemy?"

"Uh, Dad?"

Hearing the girl's rambling words, Xiao Yan was taken aback. He recalled the scene of Xiao Zhan holding an iron pot with sparks flying, and then he remembered how he was frantically following behind him. A strange look appeared on his face.

Could it be that my talent for alchemy really came from learning how my father cooks?

What is this? A comprehensive understanding?

Just as Xiao Yan was deep in thought, he saw that the girl had handed him the soup bowl again, as if she wanted to freeload.

"It won't do if you don't inherit your father's fine traditions, Third Young Master."

The girl tilted her head, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if they held some special meaning, yet they seemed to vanish without a trace, like fleeting clouds.

“Alright, while there’s still some time before the migration, I’ll learn a few more tricks from my dad and make sure I’m no worse than him.”

Xiao Yan patted his chest and said confidently.

"Great! No wonder he's the third young master that someone has their eye on!"

The girl cheered and raised her arms high.

However, upon seeing this scene, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed, as if he had remembered something, and he suddenly said urgently, "Ruo Ruo, don't!"

The next moment, Xiao Yan rushed to the door and slammed it shut with lightning speed. After looking around for a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hun Ruoruo blinked and asked curiously, "Third Young Master, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, and he coughed lightly: "Uh, it's nothing serious, it's just that you made such a fuss last night that I had no choice but to help you out."

Hun Ruoruo was even more puzzled: "Help me? Help me with what?" Xiao Yan's eyes darted away slightly, and he awkwardly scratched his head, muttering, "Uh, well, it's just... wash."

"happiness?"

"Wash, wash the clothes."

"what?!"

Hun Ruoruo's starry eyes widened as she reached up to touch her body, only to discover that her once tightly wrapped bodice had vanished without a trace!
Even between my legs, I felt a chill!

Almost instinctively, she squeezed her legs together, wrapped her arms around herself, and her beautiful eyes were filled with embarrassment and anger: "Xiao Yan, you—"

"Ahem, it's called washing clothes, but it's really just hanging them out to dry. I checked, and apart from being a little wet, they're perfectly clean."

Seemingly realizing the situation was not good, Xiao Yan gestured with his hands and stammered, "Look, it's not good to sleep with wet clothes. Besides, last night I originally wanted you to sleep alone, but you kept grabbing me and wouldn't let me leave, and you kept kicking me. The old folks say that playing with fire can cause bedwetting, and there's some truth to that!"

Looking at the girl whose pretty face was getting redder and redder, almost as if it was about to bleed, Xiao Yan finally sensed that something was wrong. He immediately shut his mouth, leaned close to her crystal earlobe, and whispered, "By the way, Xiao Yan also likes Hun Ruoruo the most."

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan swiftly took out two pieces of fine fabric that had been dried in his storage ring, placed them in front of the bed, and then rushed out of the room without looking back.

Staring at the fabric above bearing her handprint, Hun Ruoruo opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, finally gritting her teeth and cursing, "I'm so ashamed and indignant!"
"asshole!!!!"

Half an hour later.

When Hun Ruoruo walked out of the room dressed in her finest clothes, Shi Tian, ​​who was originally responsible for guarding the gate of the Xiao family, had also arrived at the Xiao family's square at some point.

According to him, the Lion Nether Sect possesses an extremely rare fighting technique that allows one to manifest as a beast and freely change size and traverse space.

Therefore, Hun Ruoruo didn't need to worry too much about transporting the Xiao family members.

However, even so, Hun Ruoruo really didn't need to worry anymore, but someone who was the current pillar of the Xiao family was obviously extremely busy at the moment.

Under the persistent pleading of the three elders of the Xiao family, and in order to set an example for the younger generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan undoubtedly became the one to give the lecture.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, I've heard that you won first place in the Pill Refining Competition in Zhongzhou. Is that true?" a young man who was passionate about alchemy asked admiringly.

"Well, I guess so, it was just luck."

Xiao Yan scratched his head and chuckled.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, may I ask a question? Who is stronger, you or Miss Ruoruo?" a young man who was very interested in cultivation asked excitedly.

"Ahem. How can our relationship be measured by strength or weakness?"

Xiao Yan blushed and said seriously, "She is more skilled in soul power, while I am skilled in physical power. Only by combining our strengths can we join forces to deal with various powerful enemies."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's fabricated words, all the juniors exclaimed in surprise and quickly jotted them down in their notebooks.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, the Grand Elder secretly told us the other day that Clan Chief Xiao used to be henpecked. Are you the same?" a rather gossipy, pretty young girl asked quietly, her eyes sparkling.

"this--"

Xiao Yan was speechless, completely bewildered by the question.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by the younger generation of the Xiao family like a star, Hun Ruoruo snorted coldly, clearly having no interest in participating in such an extremely boring trivial matter.

She thought for a moment, then casually took out the Heavenly Venerable Token that had been lying idle for a long time and started flipping through it with great boredom.

As she flipped through the pages, a soul message signed "Five Heavenly Venerables" suddenly appeared in her sight.

Upon clicking through, a huge character '玉' (Jade) appeared, clearly replacing the name of the former Five Heavenly Venerables.

"Soul Jade?"

Hun Ruoruo raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly surprised that the other party had made such a rapid progress, starting the purge of the Soul Palace in just one month.

After thinking for a moment, she clicked on the text message.

"The weak retreat, the powerful gather, and a secret treasure is born."

"The Bodhi Ancient Tree manifests itself? The fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map appear in the world? Stay tuned for the Space Trade Fair, exclusively sponsored by the Soul Palace and personally guided by the Soul Clan's young master!"

Below is a line of smaller print: "Presented by the host, Xiao Yu, the Fifth Heavenly Venerable!"

"Xiao, Xiao Yu?"

Hun Ruoruo stared dumbfounded at the sensational headline drawn with the ink of her soul, feeling as if her eyes were playing tricks on her, her pretty face displaying an incredible expression.

What on earth are these guys up to while I was away?!
