Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 924 I sent you out to gain experience, and you came back with a child?! (3k2, bonus chapter!)

Half a day later.

Xiao Yan successfully refined the fire seed and subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, but at this moment he had no intention of sensing this familiar power at all, and just stared at the girl in front of him.

In the crimson space, the girl's delicate body was like a flawless piece of jade, with its curves and exquisite form. Lava occasionally surged and spewed out, yet her skin was like snow falling in early winter.

He rummaged through his storage ring and finally found an alchemist's robe that could barely withstand the high temperature, which he wrapped around An Ruoruo's body.

The girl seemed to sense something, let out a soft moan, and grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, her sleeping face as sweet as a baby's.

Xiao Yan also laughed.

Even though the enchantress is mysterious and possesses an unimaginable attraction for ordinary people, her carefree and untroubled nature brings a sense of peace to people at this moment.

It was like countless times we had slept in each other's arms, without making a sound, but when we woke up, our chests were always damp, just like the tear stains on a young girl's eyes.

She's a strong girl.

Quiet and unassuming, yet always secretly doing things that shock everyone. Seemingly optimistic and cheerful, but always harboring unfathomable dreams in her heart.

Xiao Yan stared at the sky in a daze, remaining silent for a long time.

"You brat, you're acting innocent after getting the benefit."

The old man's weary voice rang out, and he finally reformed his soul form. "Not only did you not get entangled with that fierce Medusa Queen, but you also gained the girl you like. What more could you want?"

"Don't let that girl's clumsy actions fool you; she's no ordinary person."

With the support of Xiao Yan's Dou Huang cultivation, Yao Lao did not fall into a long slumber. He only experienced a brief period of silence before barely regaining consciousness and quickly understanding the current situation.

Xiao Yan said calmly, "It is precisely because I know that her background is not simple that I feel this way."

The old doctor frowned immediately: "Are you worried?"

"Worried?" Xiao Yan smiled casually. "What do I have to worry about? She's a young lady from Zhongzhou, while I'm just an unknown nobody. Why should I worry about her?"

The old apothecary stroked his beard, feigning sudden realization: "Oh—so that's why you keep saying there's not enough time?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was suddenly shocked.

The old doctor raised his head, his pale golden eyes filled with wisdom, and smiled, "Silly boy, even though you have a talent that surpasses ordinary people's understanding, I am still your master."

"If you can't even see this, then you received the apprenticeship ceremony in vain."

Xiao Yan fell completely silent.

As expected, experience matters. Even Ruoruo noticed something was wrong. How could Yao Lao, who had been with her day and night and personally taught her how to cultivate Qi, not notice anything unusual?

"Is this the legendary telepathy?" Xiao Yan thought helplessly.

"Perhaps you are right."

He looked at his palm and slowly said, "Back then, I was separated from her once. Even if I tried my best, I couldn't prevent that calamity from happening."

"But now it seems that the calamity was likely far beyond my comprehension."

The decisive battle in Yin Valley is still unforgettable for Xiao Yan.

He burned his lifeblood and gave his all, but the girl still left him in the end. If she hadn't been the princess of the emperor and hadn't successfully fought her way out of the Gu war, it's hard to say whether they would have had a chance to meet again.

But now, Ruoruo no longer has those halos around her.

Although Yin Gu was strong, he had virtually no chance of resisting the Soul Palace and even the Soul Clan, which were such a behemoth. Even Huo Yun, who was a Dou Sheng, could only hide behind the scenes and dared not show his face in order to avoid disaster.

In this situation, what would happen if Otogaku were invaded again?
Xiao Yan didn't want to think about it further.

He only knew that only by going faster—faster still, fast enough to surpass the Dou Sheng, fast enough to cross that almost insurmountable chasm—could he possibly save his opponent.

"So, what are your plans next?" Yao Lao asked, taking a deep breath.

"Anyway, let's go to Yin Valley first."

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. "Regardless of the outcome, we still have to go and see for ourselves."

"In that case, you shall first refine your body for your master."

".?"

Xiao Yan looked over in astonishment and found that the old man, who was usually carefree and nonchalant, was now rubbing his hands together, looking eager to make a big splash.

The old doctor raised his head and said calmly, "I have never had any children in my life. If you don't have a happy ending, this old man will be very troubled."

Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned: "Teacher?"

The next moment, his distraction turned into focus, and then he grinned: "Disciple Xiao Yan will obey Master's orders."

Even though times change and the world changes, even if one enters the cycle of reincarnation again, the people in those memories will never change, because they have changed, and the Xiao Yan they created has also changed.

This is also why he is willing to risk everything.

The old doctor quickly found an excuse to leave and shut down his senses.

An Ruoruo stretched and got up from the ground with a relaxed air.

"Clap!"

The alchemy robe just happened to fall down and burn to ashes.

Snow-capped peaks and winter plum blossoms are on full display.

Xiao Yan's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he finally understood why that lewd old man had wisely left.

An Ruoruo also opened her mouth wide and immediately pressed herself against his back, blocking the breathtaking view.

"call!"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, while Xiao Yan's mouth gaped open even wider.

"Ruo Ruo Ruo?"

"What, you're still not satisfied with having it applied?"

"Well, it's not just us like this right now?"

"Tch, so timid." An Ruoruo rolled her eyes at him disdainfully, then pouted her little nose triumphantly, "Just because you like me doesn't mean I have to like you back. What do I have to be afraid of?"

Xiao Yan: "???"

No wonder this silly girl wasn't shy at all; so that's what she was thinking all along.

What kind of self-deceiving logic is this?

An Ruoruo, however, was not worried at all. She said with a smile, "Since you know that I come from Yin Valley, then I might as well tell you that I am a descendant of Yin Valley. A descendant of Yin Valley cannot get married!"

"So, even if you have some ulterior motives, I'm sorry, I can't respond~"

Getting married? Are you kidding me?
She hasn't had enough of being carefree yet!

Moreover, she has many suitors, all of whom are outstanding young talents from various sects. On the other hand, what advantages does Xiao Yan have besides being handsome, talented, good at charming people, and considerate?
Well.
It does seem to have many advantages.

But no matter what, getting married is impossible! Even if he really becomes the Yan Emperor, can he force himself on her?

He's not that kind of person.

But.

The girl glanced at Xiao Yan, and seeing his disappointed expression, she couldn't help but purse her lips quietly.

"Isn't that a bit too much of a jerk?" An Ruoruo thought guiltily.

It's said that only boys take advantage of girls, but An Ruoruo, who grew up in Yin Valley, has long overturned this notion. For example, the usually calm and responsible senior brother would always be exhausted and listless every time he came out of his senior sister's room, which scared the second senior brother so much that he dared not find a Daoist partner.
So, does that mean I got something for free?

Xiao Yan secretly rejoiced, but pretended to be on the verge of tears as he spread his hands.

"Hmph, that's true."

An Ruoruo turned her head and muttered softly, "But, considering that you didn't push your luck before, it's not like I can't leave you a little tip."

She initially thought that his "just rubbing against you, not going in" was just a common trick, but she didn't expect him to actually do it. Now, she has nowhere to vent her anger.

As she finished speaking, her gaze drifted slightly, secretly landing on a certain spot on Xiao Yan's body. Her pretty face flushed, but she quickly looked away.

"Tell me what you want. You only get one chance. After this, I'm going home."

"How about I go home with you?"

"certainly--"

She stopped mid-sentence, then stared wide-eyed at Xiao Yan, who looked completely innocent.

"You...you want to come home with me?!"

However, before she could ask any more questions, the original Heart Flame Space suddenly began to twist rapidly, and a purple-gold light flashed out.

"Sister Ruoruo, I want one too!"

Upon seeing the petite figure that suddenly appeared, both of them had incredibly interesting expressions.

"Zi, Zi Yan?!"

The girl in purple ran out and clapped her hands with a giggle, "Hehe, I knew it, you really weren't wearing any clothes!"

"Thanks to the Queen, who said you weren't dead, but were just making babies underground, and sent me to save you. Otherwise, I would still be outside crying with Sister Xun'er."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan turned to the side and discovered that the little snake that had been wriggling its body had somehow already vanished into thin air!

"This"

Xiao Yan's lips twitched.

"It's strange. It's a good thing that you're having a baby, but for some reason, Sister Xun'er is crying even harder."

With a pout, Zi Yan, being kind-hearted, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ruoruo, why don't you teach her how to make a baby too?"

Upon hearing this, even An Ruoruo, who was deeply influenced by Yin Gu and had no inhibitions, could no longer hold back. Her pretty face flushed red as if steam were rising from a steamer.

"You brat, get out of here!!!"

Unfortunately, Xun'er didn't get to see the two of them.

The mighty ancient army arrived as scheduled and took away the young lady.

On the other hand, with Ruoruo and Xiao Yan having subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, their journey at Canaan Academy was drawing to a close.

So, bidding farewell to Canaan, the two left the Northwest Region and finally embarked on their journey to the Central Plains.

Several months later, the doors of Yin Valley finally opened.

"Little princess, is the little princess back?"

"Quickly! Go and inform that official. He's been waiting for news of the little princess for so long, he's probably going crazy!"

The crowd ran around happily, and soon they were greeted by another cheerful and robust man.

His face was stern, and his red hair resembled that of a lion, but now he looked like a completely different person, with the lines of his face softening a bit: "Oh, girl, you're finally back! Your father was so worried!"

"Daddy!"

An Ruoruo chuckled, but instead of rushing into the man's arms, she stepped aside to make room for him.

"This is Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yan stared at the incredibly familiar man before him, his eyelids twitching wildly. In the end, he still politely clasped his hands and said, "Junior Xiao Yan greets Uncle."

The smile on the red-haired man's face vanished almost at a visible speed.

The little girl next to her also jumped out and stood between the two of them, giggling, "Hello, grandpa, my name is Ziyan!"

"Grandpa?!"

In an instant, the red-haired man froze on the spot, feeling an endless wave of sorrow and bitterness wash over him. He was as if struck by lightning, and turned into a stone statue.

That silly girl! We sent her out on an adventure, and she brought a child back?!

You little brat, you deserve to die!!!
