Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 928 Xiao Yan: Hun Ruoruo, you shameless woman!
Xiao Yan stared wide-eyed at the two figures in disbelief, and exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get here?"

Looking at the old man named Ling Ying in front of him, even though Xiao Yan was quite dissatisfied with his behavior of following him, he felt a rare sense of relaxation at this moment.

After all, if it weren't for the help of Elder Yao and the old man named Ling Ying, he himself would probably have been trapped in the Yunlan Sect and might never have had the chance to escape in this lifetime.
He could never forget such kindness.

"Little one, since he's your childhood sweetheart, this old man won't interfere any further. Just remember, don't reveal my identity."

Seeing this, Yao Lao also breathed a sigh of relief, reminded Xiao Yan, and then quickly withdrew his soul perception.

Given his current condition, he has also reached his limit, so it is naturally impossible for him to be easily exposed to outsiders.

So Xiao Yan quickly descended from the sky and came to their side.

"Hehe, Young Master Xiao Yan, we meet again."

Ling Ying stood still, a smile forced onto her stiff old face.

Unlike his taciturn nature, Xun'er, standing to the side, already had tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, her vision blurred like mist.

Compared to her initial naivety, the girl is now clearly taking shape. Her bright, beautiful eyes possess an ethereal quality like a lotus flower, making her a true beauty in the making.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Before she finished speaking, the girl had already nestled into Xiao Yan's arms like a swallow seeking its mother.

"Ni, Nizi?!"

Xiao Yan froze on the spot when he saw a bulge in his chest. When did his little sister become so bold?

The prolonged battle and the intense tension had left Xiao Yan's mind a complete mess. He couldn't think straight and assumed it was just an unconscious act by the girl because she couldn't bear to see him injured, so he stopped talking.

Gently ruffling the girl's soft hair, Xiao Yan chuckled with a hint of helplessness, "Why did you have to come all the way to the Black Corner Region to pick me up, you little rascal?"

"Hmph, Brother Xiao Yan is underestimating Xun'er too much."

Xun'er pouted, her beautiful eyes looking at him with a pitiful expression. "Brother is in trouble, am I supposed to stay at Canaan Academy and wait for you to return peacefully?"

"If we had arrived late this time, not only would my brother have been imprisoned, but if he had been bewitched by another woman, Xun'er would have regretted it for the rest of her life!"

"Silly girl, I'm not that fragile."

Xiao Yan laughed heartily, feeling greatly relieved.

When you're being hunted down and at the lowest point in your life, having someone by your side is something even someone as shrewd as Xiao Yan couldn't help but be moved by, and his nerves would relax.

The prolonged tension had pushed Xiao Yan's already overloaded body to its limit, and now that he was relaxed, he naturally couldn't muster any strength anymore.

Whether it's revenge or escape, it's nothing more than him holding on by sheer willpower.

Gradually, I started to feel tired.

"Brother Xiao Yan, if you are tired, take a nap in Xun'er's arms. It's perfectly normal for siblings to do this~" Xun'er's voice was soft, sweet and gentle, like a lullaby for a baby.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback, and his face immediately turned somewhat embarrassed.

Although the two addressed each other as brother and sister, Xiao Yan knew very well that he and Xun'er were not actually related by blood, so such behavior was naturally inappropriate.

But for some reason, his body seemed to have an inexplicable impulse that urged him to throw himself into the girl's arms.

"Our teacher is also exhausted. In that case, let's rest for a while," Xiao Yan thought.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Yan nodded and lay down on Xun'er's lap. However...
Strange, why can I only see half the sky?
Lying in the girl's arms, Xiao Yan, before he was completely asleep, chatted with Xun'er and Ling Ying in a casual manner.

His father's situation had always been a heavy burden on his mind; if it couldn't be resolved, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

"Hehe, Young Master Xiao Yan, we meet again." Ling Ying smiled mechanically as always.

“Brother Xiao Yan, don’t worry. Xun’er learned about your Xiao family’s situation from Elder Ling. In Xun’er’s judgment, Uncle Xiao was probably arrested not because he was being targeted.” Xun’er said softly.

"Yes, that's what I was thinking. When I returned to my clan, the elder gave me a jade pendant, which is said to carry my father's soul imprint. As long as the imprint is intact, one's life is safe."

Xiao Yan's eyelids drooped, but he still insisted on asking, "In your opinion, is Father's arrest related to that jade stone?"

"jade?"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's voice softened even more, and she lowered her body slightly, "Brother Xiao Yan, it's probably hard to explain in words, could you lend me that jade stone to take a look?"

"Perhaps, once Uncle Xiao sees that jade, he'll return to the Xiao family on his own."

"Xun'er, if you want to see that jade, just say so, don't be like this."

The ball collided with someone, and Xiao Yan was immediately stunned. He stopped the other person's actions, and without thinking much about it, he casually took out a jade stone from his pocket and was about to hand it to Xun'er.

However, at this critical moment, a cold shout suddenly rang out from the bottom of his heart.

"Something's wrong!"

The old apothecary shouted urgently, "Boy, wake up! That Ling Ying has no soul aura at all!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback and turned to look at Ling Ying.

"Gah...Gah, Young Master Xiao Yan, we meet again." Ling Ying's head seemed to be tilted slightly by the wind, and one could vaguely see the dense stitches on his neck, as if it were a reattached severed limb.

"Brother Xiao Yan, why haven't you lent it to Xun'er yet?" The girl's soft, aggrieved voice came again.

In an instant, a bone-chilling cold covered Xiao Yan's body.

"you!"

He was terrified and instantly lost all sleepiness. He stood up abruptly and vanished more than ten feet away in an instant.

Looking closely again, Ling Ying no longer showed any signs of life. She was clearly just an empty shell with her soul drained from her body!
"Oh dear, why is Brother Xiao Yan being so naughty? I told you to hand over the jade, but now you have to come and get it yourself. Now, even if I wanted to help you rescue Father, I'm afraid I won't have the chance."

Xun'er sighed sadly, her little face full of regret. Before she knew it, a piece of ancient jade appeared in her fair palm.

She stole it away without a sound!

"It really was you."

Watching the girl playfully fiddling with the jade, Xiao Yan's pupils contracted, his face filled with lingering fear.

He should have realized that the person who could appear on his inevitable path and know everything so well could not possibly be Xun'er!
It is said that once is enough, twice is too much, but not a third time. The only one who is so ruthless and cruel, who has repeatedly driven him to the brink of death and repeatedly tricked Xiao Yan, could only be her, the cold and heartless Hun Ruoruo!

It was that vixen he hated to the core!

"Hun Ruoruo, you shameless woman!"
