Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 35 Don't come any closer!

"You're awake?" Seeing Cao Ying slowly open her beautiful eyes, Xiao Yan stopped chatting with the maid Qingcui and turned his gaze to Cao Ying's face. 🎅💘 ➅❾𝓼h𝐔χ.𝕔Øм ✌🐚

His gaze was deep and undisguised as he looked at Cao Ying's beautiful face, yet there was no desire in it; rather, it was as if he were appreciating a work of art.

Just one glance at him made Cao Ying feel a sudden surge of panic.

"You, how did you get here?" Cao Ying rolled her eyes and, after realizing that this was indeed her boudoir, said coldly to Xiao Yan.

"This is what your teacher and your grandfather wanted. I originally just wanted to come and see you, but those two old guys made me stay here to take care of you."

Xiao Yan was talking nonsense, and he didn't care whether Cao Ying would ask Xuan Yi and the Cao family patriarch.

"What are you looking at me for? Are you here to see your defeated opponent?" Cao Ying sneered. Although she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she already had a nascent, bewitching aura about her.

"What a natural little devil!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel inwardly, but said aloud, "Don't feel inferior for losing to me. After all, a genius like me is one in a thousand years."

"You!" Cao Ying's face, which had recovered somewhat, turned even paler with anger.

"Just kidding, just kidding, don't be angry." Xiao Yan said with a smile as he took out a sixth-grade Heart Protection Pill from his storage ring. He naturally reached out to Cao Ying's slender, swan-like neck and gently helped her up.

A warm hand moved down her neck to her back, and Cao Ying's body stiffened briefly before she was helped up.

She turned to look at Xiao Yan, only to find that his eyes were clear and he seemed to have no intention of doing anything inappropriate, which made her slowly relax.

Xiao Yan did it on purpose, of course. Creating some slight physical contact was necessary to greatly reduce the sense of distance between him and the other person.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that you need to be natural and not let the girl see your inappropriate thoughts, unless she also has the same thoughts about you, then it doesn't matter.

As a seasoned player in the world of romance and a master of the deep sea, Xiao Yan's actions were naturally second nature.

"Eat this pill." Xiao Yan put one of the Heart-Protecting Pills to Cao Ying's lips.

There are many types of Heart-Protecting Pills, ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 7. This Grade 6 pill is obviously quite valuable, but it is nothing to Xiao Yan, and not expensive to Cao Ying either.

"No need, just let me rest." Cao Ying shook her head. Although a sixth-grade pill is nothing to the Cao family, it's not like cabbage is everywhere. There's no need to waste it on such a small injury.

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a long, strong hand pinch her face.

It felt really nice. Feeling the smooth texture of Cao Ying's face, Xiao Yan pinched her hard without any mercy. Under the strong force, Cao Ying's rosy lips involuntarily opened.

The next moment, Xiao Yan stuffed the blood-red Heart-Protecting Pill into her mouth.

The Heart-Protecting Pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, falling into Cao Ying's stomach before she could even react.

"How could you be so rude?" Cao Ying stared at Xiao Yan with wide eyes. Although he had a refined appearance, he always had a bandit-like air about him.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to being a tyrant at home." Xiao Yan said sorry, but there was no trace of remorse on his face.

"Bandits!" Cao Ying cursed, but then felt a warm current slowly rising in her abdomen. This warm current was naturally the effect of the Heart-Protecting Pill.

As this warm current rose, a trace of weariness appeared on Cao Ying's body.

"You can go now. Thank you for the Heart-Protecting Pill. I'm feeling a bit tired." She waved her hand, but found that Xiao Yan was still motionless.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

"I'll leave after you fall asleep."

"How can I sleep with you staring at me like that?" Cao Ying could clearly feel Xiao Yan's intense gaze fixed on her.

"Can't sleep? Let me tell you a story," Xiao Yan said with premeditation.

"Ha, only little kids listen to stories to fall asleep," Cao Ying sneered.

"More than a thousand years ago, there was a peak powerhouse on this continent called the Pure Lotus Demon Saint." Xiao Yan ignored Cao Ying and continued speaking to himself.

Upon hearing the name of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, Cao Ying visibly paused.

After all, this was a legendary powerhouse from a thousand years ago, who was once one of the most powerful beings on the continent.

"The Pure Lotus Demon Saint rose from humble beginnings and unexpectedly encountered the severely injured Holy Maiden of the Nether Sea Sect during a training expedition," Xiao Yan said methodically.

Finally, the old sect master of Youhai Sect, Haishan, personally took action and drove away the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint roared angrily at Hai Shan, saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential. If you refuse to marry my Holy Maiden today, even if you beg me on your knees tomorrow, I will not marry you."

As Xiao Yan spoke slowly, Cao Ying's eyes grew brighter, and she was no longer sleepy.

"Did the Youhai Sect later beg him to marry the Holy Maiden?" Cao Ying had unknowingly begun to ask.

"Heh, she's still just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl." The middle-aged man wearing a boy's coat smiled to himself, and was about to continue when he heard a timid voice from outside.

"Sister Cao Ying, are you in your room?"

Just as Cao Ying was about to get up, Xiao Yan pressed her back onto the bed.

"You should go to sleep," Xiao Yan said.

"The story isn't over yet."

"The story is long, and the rest of our lives are even longer. We'll have plenty of time to tell stories in the future," Xiao Yan said as he took out a blanket and covered Cao Ying with it.

"But Dan Chen is still outside." Cao Ying had just finished speaking when she saw Xiao Yan's face close to hers.

"What, what are you going to do?" At such close range, she could even feel Xiao Yan's hot breath on her face.

Xiao Yan's heart fluttered slightly, and a blush spread across Cao Ying's face, making her already alluring features even more tempting, making him want to take a bite.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yan smiled wickedly, leaned close to Cao Ying's ear and whispered, "Sister Cao Ying, you don't want Dan Chen to see what's going on outside right now, do you?"

The warm breath brushed against her delicate earlobe, and Cao Ying couldn't help but tremble. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Yan's hand was already on her forehead.

"You should go to sleep!" After saying that, he took the initiative to wipe Cao Ying's eyes off.

"Don't open your eyes again, or I'll spank you, you hear me?" Xiao Yan's fierce voice rang out.

"Heh, how dare you threaten me." Cao Ying was about to open her eyes when she remembered Xiao Yan's bandit-like behavior.

"He wouldn't really do that, would he?" Cao Ying thought for a moment, and then nodded. Perhaps it was Xiao Yan's continuous suppression of her that made her obey the orders of someone her own age for the first time.

"Good girl, I'll come back to find you again." Xiao Yan's voice rang out, and Cao Ying nodded again as if possessed, before hearing Xiao Yan's footsteps slowly leave.

"Dan Chen, what brings you here!" Xiao Yan's slightly roguish voice rang out at the door, and Cao Ying's eyes snapped open.

At the door of her boudoir, Dan Chen, who was peeking out to carefully observe the situation inside, was wondering if that terrifying Xiao Yan was there when she saw a face she least wanted to see appear in front of her, getting closer and closer.

"You, you don't come any closer!" Dan Chen's pitiful voice rang out from the doorway.
