Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 921 Your Xiao family is just short of water!
The two quickly became acquainted.

Although Xiao Yan possesses both talent and vision, he is like a skilled cook without ingredients. Wutan City is such a small place, so it is obviously not easy for him to quickly shed the reputation of being a good-for-nothing.

An Ruoruo, on the other hand, perfectly fills this gap.

Nourished by the Foundation Establishment Elixir, the former genius of Wutan City returned in less than half a month. Even the belatedly awakened Yao Lao was astonished by Xiao Yan's rapid advancement.

Meanwhile, An Ruoruo wasn't idle either. After witnessing Xiao Yan's series of unusual actions, she had a bold guess in her mind—

Indeed, it was no coincidence that Xiao Yan was so different from what she remembered, and that he could see through her disguise.

There is no second chance in Dou Qi Continent, and Xiao Yan is not some forbidden emperor. After eliminating this series of coincidences and errors, there is only one answer left.

That is... it's written incorrectly!

An Ruoruo was quite certain and confident in her judgment.

After all, a book is inanimate, but the characters in it are alive. It's impossible for all the content to be completed step by step. It's inevitable that something will go wrong. As long as the general direction remains unchanged, the author can't be bothered with so many other things.

However, she couldn't completely let go of her worries.

To ensure her own survival and to live a peaceful life until world peace, An Ruoruo felt it was necessary to shoulder the responsibility of ensuring this guy stayed on the right path.

Well, it's not because cotton candy tastes good.

"Alright, now your mother's typhoid fever condition is completely stable."

Stepping out of the room, An Ruoruo clapped her hands, looking smug.

"real?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, who had been anxiously waiting outside the door, showed a rare hint of excitement on his face, even becoming somewhat unable to contain himself.

"cough!"

An Ruoruo ignored him, turned her head away, closed her eyes, and peeked out a small, fair hand from between her crossed arms.

"Cough cough!"

As if afraid that Xiao Yan might not understand, she cleared her throat again.

Xiao Yan chuckled and handed him a cotton candy.

The girl immediately beamed with joy.

"That's pretty much it."

Three marshmallows saved this guy's mother; where else can you find such a deal? He should be secretly delighted.

Taking the cotton candy, An Ruoruo licked it contentedly before replying, "Your mother's weak health isn't due to any injury, but rather because of an imbalance in her constitution."

"Your eldest brother's fighting spirit is wood generating earth, your second brother's fighting spirit is thunder generating metal, and you, Xiao Yan, are fire generating wood. They seem to be mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, but in reality, they lack the most crucial element of conditioning, which will naturally lead to your incurable typhoid fever."

As an alchemist, Xiao Yan instantly understood what the other party meant: "You mean, there is a deficiency in the Five Elements?"

The so-called battle qi elements are naturally not limited to five types, but rather a table of battle qi elements built upon five basic elements.

It seems that Xiao Zhan's 'wind' and Xiao Li's 'thunder' are special mutated attributes, so they cannot be included in this category.

"Yes."

An Ruoruo's 'little mustache' reappeared at the corner of her mouth, making her look exactly like a teacher imparting knowledge and skills.

"Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth"

At this point, she patted her chest and said with a grin, "Your family just happens to be short of water."

Xiao Yan's expression instantly became extremely strange.

Everyone says he's a blockhead, but this silly girl seems to be just as clueless. Doesn't she realize the ambiguity in her words?
However, the girl was clearly oblivious to Xiao Yan's gaze and continued to chatter on and on, just like a chatterbox.

The comments, such as "good pure water battle qi is no worse than that of an alchemist" and "alchemy only squeezes out time for slacking off and counts as overtime," seem to express considerable resentment.

Reaching out, Xiao Yan peeled the sugar strand from her lips again, shaking his head with a wry smile, and casually asked, "Judging from Ruoruo's words, it seems she knows a lot about our family's situation."

".Eh?"

“My eldest and second eldest brothers left Wutan City and went to the Tagor Desert several years ago. You even know their Dou Qi attributes, isn’t that enough to show you’re knowledgeable?” Xiao Yan’s eyes held a smile, yet also seemed to contain some inexplicable meaning, as he joked, “Maybe our family is really missing a water attribute.”

He does not mean that.

An Ruoruo's beautiful eyes widened, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

It’s over.

This guy is a little too perceptive, isn't he?

Although An Ruoruo was indeed prepared that 'this Xiao Yan will be different from what I remember,' the shrewdness and temperament he displayed really startled her.

Not only did he not succumb to despair after three years of hardship, he even averted a tragedy and successfully saved his mother's life.
An Ruoruo would never admit that she would lose to this guy, but if you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. If she spends too much time with him and reveals any flaws, then things could get really bad.

What's more, Xiao Xun'er has been eyeing her covetously, as if she had stolen her brother.

Men don't smell as good as cotton candy, silly girl.

Thinking of this, the girl's eyes changed, and she actually opened her mouth to snatch back the last small strand of sugar from Xiao Yan's finger!

"Hey Ruoruo?!"

"Remember, you still owe me two marshmallows!"

After saying that, the girl dusted herself off, summoned her battle qi wings, and flew out of the Xiao family without looking back.

"This silly girl."

Looking at the last trace of water on his fingers, Xiao Yan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Although she knew that Ruoruo in this life was unconventional and did not have the same resistance to physical contact as in her previous life, this was still a bit too unrestrained.

It's just like it, it's just like it.
Sound Valley!

The image of the woman from Yin Valley flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and he was now 99% certain.

Perhaps Ruoruo in this life grew up under the protection of Yin Gu to reach where she is today.

There is no treachery or deceit in the spirit world, no cruel life of swords and bloodshed, no disagreements or rifts between parents, and no despair or pain of being separated from one's bloodline.

She is a 'little princess'.

The reason for all of this is clearly beyond Xiao Yan's current cultivation level to know.

"Hesitation will prevent you from winning back the girl you like."

The door suddenly opened, and the woman, who had always been unable to get out of bed, surprisingly stepped out of the dark little house.

Sunlight fell on her face, giving her long-untrimmed, gloomy bangs a touch of brightness, gentle and warm.

"mother?"

Xiao Yan opened his mouth in disbelief and said, "You...you can walk now?!"

"Our family might actually be short of water," the woman said with a smile, her thin face now flushed with a faint color.

"mother"

When the day finally came for the other party to recover, Xiao Yan was overwhelmed with joy and could not express his feelings. He was crying and laughing at the same time, and could not speak.

"Silly child, no matter where you wander, your mother will always be waiting for you at home."

The woman gently embraced the boy, stroking his hair repeatedly, whispering softly, her voice filled with unprecedented relaxation and joy, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden from her heart.

"So my Yan'er, fly with confidence."

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Thus, Nalan Ruoruo, who came to the Xiao family in a grand and glorious manner, became An Ruoruo, who left in a whirlwind.

And departing with her was also Xiao Yan of the once-glorious Xiao family.

Three years after three years, he was still the same genius.
