Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 36 From today onwards, you are my concubine.

"I'm here, so what are you going to do about it?" Xiao Yan walked over with a smile. Every time he saw her gentle and weak appearance, he couldn't help but want to bully her.

"I...I'm here to see Sister Cao, could you please move aside?" Dan Chen looked at Xiao Yan with a wronged expression.

This guy is not only shameless and daring, but also a social terrorist. He's a natural nemesis of social anxiety disorder. To make matters worse, he's also talented and has a powerful background, so even his grandfather can't do anything about him.

"Your sister Cao is asleep, go back." Xiao Yan waved his hand and looked at Dan Chen with a smile, "Let's go, or I'll give you a ride."

"No, no need!" Dan Chen took a step back, peeked out and carefully looked at the space behind Xiao Yan. Only after confirming that Cao Ying had not appeared did she cautiously turn around.

She moved her small feet lightly, but then heard footsteps following behind her.

"It's over!" Dan Chen panicked and quickened her pace.

"How interesting." Xiao Yan watched her walk forward quickly with her head down, like a frightened little rabbit.

Inside her boudoir, Cao Ying lay with her eyes open, a beauty mark at the corner of her eye adding an aura of dread to her already alluring face.

She rested her pretty face on her arm, quietly reflecting on everything that had happened that day.

Thinking of Xiao Yan's handsome face with a hint of roguishness, Cao Ying smiled without even realizing it.

"Genius? Prodigy?" Indeed, his talent was so prodigious that even he himself felt a sense of despair.

"A rogue? A bandit? A scion of a noble family?" These might be his true nature, or they might be masks. Out of a woman's instinct, Cao Ying could clearly sense that beneath Xiao Yan's various personas lay a subtle, almost imperceptible loneliness.

"What kind of person are you, really?" As the effects of the Heart-Protecting Pill gradually took hold, Cao Ying felt warm all over, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier without her realizing it.

Being naive and inexperienced, she didn't know that when a woman becomes curious about a man and often thinks about him, it's often a dangerous sign.

A subtle fragrance lingers in the boudoir, where a beautiful woman lies on her bed, unaware that a story is about to unfold from there.

"Tap tap tap." Dan Chen's footsteps quickened, but she could not hear the sound of footsteps disappearing behind her.

"What exactly do you want?!" She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and suddenly turned around like a startled kitten.

"Thump!" A solid chest slammed into her face, nearly knocking her over.

She was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, a full head shorter than Xiao Yan. The reason she wasn't knocked down was that a hand caught her slender waist.

"So delicate, so soft!" Xiao Yan endured the electric shock sensation in his soul and helped her up.

"Can you please stop following me?" Dan Chen suddenly pushed Xiao Yan away, her peach blossom eyes reddening, and tears welling up in her crystal-like pupils.

If she weren't outmatched by Xiao Yan, even with her introverted personality, she would have fought that lecherous man.

Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't!

"Oh ho, she's about to cry!" Seeing this, Xiao Yan not only showed no remorse, but instead pressed on even more, forcing the girl against the wall.

"What's wrong? Want to cry? Go ahead and cry." He said with a grin, like a little rascal who flirts with the prettiest girl in class.

Seeing the devil's unbridled behavior, Dan Chen finally broke down. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed softly. If any other man saw her looking like a pear blossom in the rain, he would probably be heartbroken.

Unfortunately, she encountered Xiao Yan. Who is Xiao Yan?

Scumbag!

What's the core of a scumbag? It's not sweet talk or eloquence, it's a heart of stone!

Only by having a ruthless heart can one possess the capital to navigate the world of love, remain unaffected by the emotions of others, and thus remain invincible.

"Waaaah!" The little girl cried with tears streaming down her face, but Xiao Yan remained unmoved. He simply looked at Dan Chen calmly until she stopped sobbing, then he took out a silk handkerchief and bowed slightly.

"Are you done crying?" His voice was gentle, and his eyes were tender as he handed the silk scarf to Dan Chen.

"What exactly do you want by following me?" Dan Chen took a silk scarf and wiped her swollen eyes.

"I just like you more." Xiao Yan's words almost made Dan Chen cry again.

"Can't you just not like me?" Dan Chen looked at Xiao Yan with a wronged expression and received an affirmative answer.

"cannot!"

"From the first moment I saw you, I fell for you." Xiao Yan's words made the girl blush, but his offensive wasn't over yet. A delicate flower had appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

It was a purple jasmine, its petals a deep purple like the night, with specks of starlight on them like a galaxy.

The Starry Night Purple Jasmine grows where starlight converges and blooms only once every thousand years. It is a precious medicinal herb that many seventh-grade alchemists desire.

Xiao Yan reached out and tucked the precious flower, worth far more than a million gold coins, into Dan Chen's hair. Then, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "From today onwards, you're my little wife!"

A warm breath escaped from his mouth, hitting the girl's delicate earlobe and sending a shiver through her body.

Immediately afterwards, a visible blush rose from her snow-white neck and spread all the way to her forehead.

Seeing the girl's face flushed crimson, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ignoring Xiao Yan's cheerful laughter, Dan Chen sat blankly on the ground, her eyes glazed over, her brain seemingly frozen.

Unlike Cao Ying, who was confident and alluring, she would only blush slightly even when teased by Xiao Yan.

Although born into the Dan family and possessing a natural primordial spirit body, she was deeply loved by her elders, but due to her constitution, no one dared to approach her.

Her peers only felt awe and fear towards her, which shaped her introverted and timid personality. Now, after being teased by Xiao Yan, she was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan stopped doing anything and just sat on the ground, smiling as he watched her.

After sitting there blankly for a while, Dan Chen finally came to her senses. She looked at Xiao Yan with a mixture of grievance and dazedness and asked, "Can I go home now?"

"You've been on your way home the whole time. Let me take you home." Xiao Yan stood up and reached out to pull her, but the little girl stood up on her own.

However, this time she didn't hide from Xiao Yan anymore. She just walked blankly on the road, her face turning pale and then blushing. It was unclear what she was thinking. The dignified Dou Ling almost fell down several times while walking.

Xiao Yan stopped talking. He figured the girl wouldn't listen to anything he said anyway, so he simply shut up and remained silent.

They remained silent the entire way until she saw Danchen to the front gate, at which point she asked blankly, "Are you still going in?"

"No need, I'm relieved to see you safely home," Xiao Yan said, offering only insincere words of affection.

"Oh, can I go back now?" Dan Chen's mind was still buzzing, and she couldn't quite process what Xiao Yan had said.

"Let's go back." Xiao Yan smiled, watching the girl's figure gradually disappear from sight before turning around with satisfaction.

Today's gains were quite good; both breaches have been initially opened. With this start, all we need to do is keep the situation firmly in our hands.

As the sun gradually disappeared into the night, a sliver of its setting sun bathed the earth in crimson light. From the alley below the Dan Tower came the proud humming of a young man.

Writing about picking up girls is really brain-draining; I spent the whole afternoon trying to come up with this. If any Casanovas think it's not good enough, feel free to give me some pointers; I'll also take the opportunity to learn something.

There will be another chapter at midnight. After reading it, please remember to flip to the last page to give me a chance to continue reading. This is related to whether I can get a recommendation next week. Please help me, brothers.

Once it's officially released, the update frequency will definitely increase, so I'll be trotting in on things for the next couple of days. Thank you!
