Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 923 Ruoruo, Don't Clamp! (3k!)
Xiao Zhan was eventually rescued.

Although the girl lacked combat experience, her superior cultivation and strong soul made her a formidable opponent. Using her disguise skills, she successfully led the Xiao family to escape the pursuit.

The furious Soul Palace, despite its deep resentment, could only swallow its anger and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

As a result, the Gama Empire quickly fell.

Unable to stay at home any longer, Xiao Yan, covered in wounds, had no choice but to carry the silly girl who had fainted after relaxing to Canaan Academy. He then asked Hai Bodong to settle the Xiao family on the side of the Black Corner Region, where they began a new life.

With both parents alive and the Xiao family unharmed, Xiao Yan naturally let go of all his worries, and his cultivation soared to new heights, dominating the 'Strong Ranking' at lightning speed.

His youthful spirit was unparalleled.

However, just as the entire Demon Palace was waiting to celebrate for Xiao Yan, the young man suddenly vanished without a trace.

When it returned, its body, which even the Mighty King could not harm in the slightest, was unusually bruised.

"Here."

Xiao Yan smiled, spread out his blood-stained hands, and magically produced a pair of cotton candies in front of the girl.

Pure white, like drifting clouds, it contrasts sharply with the scarlet in my palm.

"This is?"

"The agreed-upon compensation."

"Huh? Just because of this, you're going to risk running back to Wutan City? Aren't you a little too confident in yourself?"

"Anyway, you won't just leave me to fend for myself, will you?"

Xiao Yan shrugged and became the tough nut to crack.

"."

The girl suddenly fell silent.

Although she came to Canaan Academy with Xiao Yan, An Ruoruo did not stand out like him. Instead, she became unusually quiet and would find excuses to leave the academy every now and then.

Even if the girl in this world is naive, she can easily realize that her actions will inevitably arouse Xiao Yan's suspicion.

After all, this guy is a different kind of chosen one than the one in the main storyline.
Thinking of this, the girl stepped forward, snatched one of the wooden sticks from Xiao Yan's hand, and, ignoring the blood on it, quickly finished the cotton candy, leaving only a glistening mark on her lips.

"Ok!"

An Ruoruo propped her cheeks up and stared at Xiao Yan with her cheeks puffed out.

Xiao Yan, being perceptive, tore off her mustache for her.

Elder Huo, who was on duty nearby, passed by without looking at anyone and suddenly coughed.

Countless bushes suddenly stirred.

The boy and girl, their faces as red as monkey bottoms, rushed out in disheveled clothes and fled from the grove like birds and beasts.

An Ruoruo's face also turned red. She grabbed Xiao Yan and ran away, feeling like a thief. She was panting heavily, her heart was pounding, and she even forgot to use her fighting spirit. It was as if she had returned to the 1,000-meter physical test in middle school.

She only realized halfway there that she and Xiao Yan were not a couple at all. They came to the grove for privacy and convenience, and there was nothing sordid or shameful about them. The two of them were clearly innocent.

But why do I still instinctively run?
Was she afraid of being misunderstood, afraid of people making a fuss, or... afraid that this guy would abandon her when he ran away?
Sure enough, it's all about getting him back on track.

After all, this person has changed so much. She looks calm but is actually stubborn. She always thinks she is omnipotent. If she weren't around, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

Not to mention at home.
With her mind a jumbled mess, An Ruoruo lowered her head. The small wooden stick in her hand seemed like a magic wand, continuously healing the torn skin on Xiao Yan's body, causing him to grimace in pain.

"hiss--"

Xiao Yan's face contorted in pain, and he gasped, almost dropping the cotton candy he'd been clutching the whole way. "Didn't we say work and rest had to be separate? Aren't you going to finish this one?"

"Too much of a good thing is bad, don't you understand?"

An Ruoruo gave a soft hum and licked her lips. "It's only when you're not quite satisfied that you start to look forward to going further. If you eat too much, it just loses its appeal!"

"Wow, I didn't realize you were so good at understanding men's minds." Xiao Yan clicked his tongue in amazement. "To be honest, a wife who understands men is the most pleasing."

An Ruoruo glanced at him and thought to herself, "You little Chu Nan, how dare you look down on me?"

Boys and girls are quite different. When a girl meets someone she likes, she will examine her own clothes and fantasize about cuddling and playing hard to get. Boys, on the other hand, consider many more things, such as choosing a good name for their child after just one meeting.

No one understands men better than her!
"The fairy healer, the sect leader, and the snake-woman beauty—no matter which girl you fancy, just tell me, and I'll be 100% there to help you achieve your goal!"

"Are there no other options?"

"You're such a womanizer. Have you taken a fancy to Xun'er? No way, she's a super rich girl and she's very hostile towards me. I dare not mess with her."

"Hmm, it seems Xun'er is not going to make it."

"Who says it's impossible? Just because I don't help you doesn't mean you'll stop pursuing girls. You're Xiao Yan, number one on the Strong Ranking, a monster who almost defeated Yun Shan when you were a Dou Wang. Who can object to the girls you set your sights on?"

"Ha, hehe, thank you for your advice, Miss Ruoruo."

“That’s pretty much it”

It was rare to hear Xiao Yan praise someone, and An Ruoruo couldn't help but proudly pout her little nose.

Xiao Yan, however, just chuckled to himself, though it was unclear what he was laughing about.

"Hey." After a moment of silence, An Ruoruo suddenly spoke, "I've helped you so much, aren't you worried?"

"So what?"

Xiao Yan simply continued to laugh, "In my entire life, would I ever turn against you with swords drawn?"

The girl fell silent again.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

As expected, Xiao Yan won the Inner Court Grand Competition and defeated Elder Huo in the exhibition match, becoming the youngest Dou Huang in the Northwest Region.

Immediately afterwards, the Soul Palace attacked, and Han Feng led a large army to press the border. Although he was personally killed by Xiao Yan, he missed the opportunity to devour the Void Spirit Flame and was inevitably unable to contend with the Fallen Heart Flame, thus falling into the snake's belly.

Even with memories of his past life, Xiao Yan could not fathom his unknown fate. He entered the underground with the Seven-Colored Devouring Python and disappeared without a trace.

Everything seemed to be proceeding according to An Ruoruo's plan.

Xiao Yan was brought back on track.

But for some reason, she always felt empty inside, as if a piece of her heart was missing.

Indeed, bringing Xiao Yan back on track was merely an excuse for her to ensure a peaceful life for the rest of her days.

But she was the one who broke off the engagement, she was the one who took the risk, she was the one who stayed by his side, and she was the one who saved him. She had everything, yet she had to hand over all her achievements to an outsider.

Why?
The girl rushed into the inferno without hesitation, crawling into the snake's belly. At that moment, she even forgot her fear; only one sentence remained in her mind—

My things, even if I don't want them, no one else has the right to take them.

Finally, she found Xiao Yan, naked and nearly unconscious, barely holding on by a single breath.

Medusa was also naked.

But it was completely different from what An Ruoruo had expected. Despite its beautiful body and the fact that it was available for anyone to take, it had no appeal whatsoever, and there was no erotic scene whatsoever.

It's just a horny snake.

An Ruoruo froze on the spot, both crying and laughing, sniffling and choking back tears.

"You really aren't him."

Even if Xiao Yan was incredibly talented and unconventional, he ultimately failed to completely deviate from the correct path.

But now that Medusa has been rejected, it has undoubtedly completely changed the planned route, ruining the entire ending.

He wasn't him, which meant all his previous efforts had been in vain, and that the other person was completely different from the boy he remembered.
"Yes, I am not him."

Xiao Yan smiled calmly, turned around and looked at the girl, "But you are still you."

Xiao Yan stepped forward, intending to reach out and wipe away her tears, but then realized his mistake and refrained from doing so.

An Ruoruo stared straight at her: "Have you always liked me, from the beginning until now, always have you?"

Xiao Yan suppressed a laugh: "Yes."

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around the girl's waist, his large hand burning hot, yet unable to scorch her fair skin in the slightest: "So, how do you plan to help me out? Name your price."

His grandmother was finally able to speak. Xiao Yan felt like the traitor Sima Yi, who had pretended to be crazy for decades, and finally shouted, "I have finally waited for this day!" Even if he died on the spot, he would die with a smile.

An Ruoruo was dumbfounded as he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. She held back for a long time until her face turned bright red, but she could only manage to utter one sentence: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xiao Yan continued to laugh, but his voice was much softer, as if it came from afar: "Because I don't know who you like."

"Didn't you say that confessing your feelings isn't launching an attack, but rather the final shot before victory? If you don't like me, then wouldn't I be... Waaah!"

Xiao Yan's mouth was suddenly covered by a forceful gag.

The girl's movements were clumsy and awkward, yet they carried a stubbornness, boldness, and passion that were completely different from what I had imagined.

The next moment, he opened his eyes and saw that the pair of bright blue eyes that usually seemed clever but were always a bit dazed were now filled with tears and staring intently at him.

"What makes you think you're worse than others?" The girl's voice was tinged with anger, yet also seemed to carry a hint of grievance, filled with incomprehension.

Xiao Yan was stunned by the rare kiss. He opened his mouth to say something, but a nimble little object suddenly poked its way in.

Is it?

She accompanied me all the way, constantly trying to change me, but in the end, she didn't want me to become the person she remembered.
So, I've actually surpassed the omnipotent Xiao Yan she imagined?

"Hmph, you say you can control yourself, but in the end, aren't you still pointing a broken gun at me?"

Faintly, one could hear the girl's angry, rebuking voice.

You poked my stomach.

"Uh, sorry, Ruoruo, I'll take it away right away?" Xiao Yan's voice was a little embarrassed.

"Wait a minute, you know I'm from Yin Valley, so don't you know that the women of Yin Valley are far superior to those ordinary girls from the outside world?" An Ruoruo retorted defiantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound of soft flesh colliding rang out.

"Hiss—Ruoruo, don't pinch!"
