As he pulled Zi Yan forward, he secretly felt lucky that Zi Yan did not mention her other partners.
If Zi Yan spoke too hastily and casually mentioned the situation of Xiao Yixian, Xun'er and the others, the consequences would be disastrous. Zhu Kun would be furious and he would be in great pain.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling quickened his pace, thinking that it would be best to get away as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
While flying, Xiao Ling subconsciously looked back, only to see that Zhu Kun's face was still ferocious, and it was obvious that he still had some intention of intimidating him.
Xiao Ling thought for a moment, then quietly used his mental power to send a message in the direction of Zhu Kun:
"I know some news about the ancient jade. The ancient Natarasha jade was originally three complete pieces, but was later split into eight pieces due to a shocking war. Now, each of the ancient imperial clans holds a piece of the ancient jade."
"To be honest, I actually have a piece of ancient jade in my hand, but I don't want to take it out at the moment. But don't worry, I will do my best to collect the rest of the ancient jades, and I will definitely let you regain your freedom as soon as possible."
After the message was transmitted, Xiao Ling did not look back. He took Zi Yan's hand and left a little faster.
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Zhu Kun was stunned for a moment, then he slowly turned around, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes for an instant, and then a hint of relief emerged in his eyes.
The originally stern and murderous face gradually softened.
He just stood there quietly, his eyes following the direction Xiao Ling and Zi Yan left, until their figures passed through the space layer unhindered and completely disappeared into the dark void. Only then did Zhu Kun slowly withdrew his gaze.
Chapter 553 Leisure
On the other side, after Xiao Ling and Zi Yan said goodbye to Zhu Kun, they left the space where Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave was located. In the blink of an eye, they were back in the hot underground magma world.
However, neither of them cared about the sudden change in their surroundings.
After looking at each other, Zi Yan put on a playful smile on her face and stretched out her arms towards Xiao Ling.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled knowingly and took the petite Zi Yan into his arms.
Xiao Ling kissed Zi Yan's forehead gently, and then he was secretly happy. He thought to himself, "So what if he's the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun? So what if he's the Nine-Star Fighting Saint? I've kidnapped his daughter. Now, I can kiss her however I want, and you can't control me now."
When he thought about how Zhu Kun had not given him a good look in that space before, he dared not be too intimate with Zi Yan. Now that he was out of that place and Zhu Kun was out of reach, Xiao Ling felt that he could do whatever he wanted. Thinking of this, he felt even more refreshed.
Zi Yan naturally had no aversion to this. Instead, she pecked Xiao Ling gently on the cheek. The two of them were intimate for a long time, and seemed to be inseparable.
However, they did not delay any longer. Xiao Ling bent his feet slightly and stepped lightly into the air. His figure instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed straight towards the top of the magma...
……
"Pfft..."
At the bottom of the Tianfen Refining Gas Tower, in the passage leading to the magma world, magma suddenly surged out like a raging tide.
Immediately afterwards, two figures, wrapped in a little bit of the heat from the magma, rushed out quickly under the expectant gazes of Elder Su Qian and everyone else.
Afterwards, the surging magma was affected by gravity and slowly retreated downwards, gradually revealing two figures firmly covered by the Dou Qi barrier. They were Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.
"You two, it's been such a long time since you came back. I thought you were in some trouble. Is there anything unusual going on down there?" When Su Qian saw the two of them coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern on his face.
"It's nothing serious, just some small discoveries. However, we gained a lot, so this trip was not in vain."
Facing Su Qian's concerned inquiries, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan looked at each other. They knew very well that some things could not be fully revealed.
Therefore, Xiao Ling just responded casually with a few words and briefly explained the situation of encountering the fire lizardman, but he did not mention anything about Zhu Kun and the Ancient Emperor's Cave.
"I didn't expect that you two could have dealt with all the fire lizardmen. Although they have never shown any signs of leaving the depths of the underground magma, this has eliminated some hidden dangers anyway."
Su Qian listened to Xiao Ling's story with great interest, his face full of satisfaction. He smiled and nodded.
"Hehe, those guys are just things that I can easily deal with." Zi Yan said with a smug look on her face.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Su Qian smiled at each other, thinking that Zi Yan's straightforward personality had not changed at all.
After a few casual conversations, they no longer stayed on the bottom floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, but headed outside.
After saying goodbye to Su Qian, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan left the Tianfen Refining Tower and returned directly to the courtyard in the inner courtyard of Canaan College.
As you step into the courtyard, you will see an elegant and quiet scene.
In the courtyard, flowers of various colors are in full bloom, and when the breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, as if covering this world with a layer of rich veil.
In the quaint pavilion in the center of the courtyard, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin and Medusa were sitting together chatting.
The Little Medical Fairy is dressed in white clothes that are whiter than snow, with an ethereal temperament, just like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world by mistake. There is a faint smile on her delicate face, and her eyes seem to hide thousands of stars. Just one glance at her will make people fall in love with her.
Qinglin is dressed in a light green dress, fresh and natural, just like the prettiest young leaves in spring. Her lively appearance reveals the liveliness and innocence unique to a girl. Her bright eyes are full of youthful vigor.
Medusa was wearing a fiery red dress, which made her beautiful face look even more gorgeous and eye-catching. She had a noble and cold temperament, and her every move showed the demeanor of a queen. Her deep eyes were like a mysterious pool, which made people intoxicated.
The surrounding green trees are shady, and mottled light and shadows shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto the ground, contrasting with these beauties, forming a beautiful and pleasant picture. People feel pleasing to the eye at just one glance, as if all the beauty in the world has gathered here.
When Xiao Ling saw this scene, his heart couldn't help but be moved. He felt that the scene before his eyes was too beautiful, as if all the tenderness and comfort in the world were integrated here. Wasn't the purpose of his practice to be able to always protect such a beautiful scene?
When Zi Yan and Xiao Ling appeared, they inevitably made some noise, and this noise immediately attracted the attention of the three women in the courtyard.
They all stopped what they were doing and looked over at the same time.
The Little Doctor Fairy gently lifted up the strands of smooth hair on her forehead, revealing her beautiful face, and asked softly:
"Is the trip going smoothly? No accidents?"
"We are both here intact, so we must have encountered no problems." Seeing the concerned look from the Little Medical Fairy, Xiao Ling looked back at her, with a casual smile on his face, and said slowly,
"Besides, with my current strength, there are not many people in this huge Douqi Continent who can embarrass me. You have to have more confidence in me."
Hearing Xiao Ling's slightly frivolous words, the Little Medical Fairy couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly. She thought to herself that Xiao Ling's mentality had indeed changed a lot since he broke through from the Fighting Master realm and experienced many things.
However, seeing how confident he was at the moment, the slight worry that had been in her heart disappeared unconsciously.
"Master, Sister Zi Yan, did you make any important discoveries during this trip?"
Qing Lin looked at the two of them curiously at this time, with a look of inquiry in his eyes, and asked,
"Looking at your expressions right now, I guess you must have experienced something unusual?"
Medusa on the side also cast an inquiring look. It was obvious that the questions asked by Qinglin were exactly what she was curious about.
The people present were all people who had very close relationships with Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, so naturally they didn't intend to deliberately hide anything about their experience this time.
Seeing that the three women all looked curious, Xiao Ling briefly and briefly introduced how he and Zi Yan had traveled to the underground magma world.
He first talked about the various situations when he encountered those fire lizardmen, and then talked about how they happened to discover the cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. Finally, he mentioned that in the space where the cave was located, he met Zi Yan's father, Zhu Kun, the former Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
After hearing Xiao Ling's story, the three women were all shocked.
Especially when she heard that the cave of ancient emperor Natusha was closely related to the breakthrough to the Dou Emperor, and that Zi Yan actually met her father, whom she had no impression of since she was born, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
They never imagined that this trip would contain such amazing secrets and adventures. For a moment, they were all immersed in this shocking news.
"I really didn't expect that Young Master and Sister Zi Yan would encounter something related to Emperor Dou during this trip. This is really a bit unexpected."
Qinglin, who was the first to come back to her senses, said with a smile. Her eyes were full of sincerity and joy as she looked at Ziyan.
"However, I still have to congratulate Sister Zi Yan. Being able to recognize her biological father, I know that Sister Zi Yan was definitely not abandoned."
As soon as Qinglin finished speaking, Xiao Yixian and Medusa quickly echoed him, sending their sincere blessings to Ziyan, and were sincerely happy that she could meet her biological father.
They have been with Zi Yan for a long time, and they know very well the desire for family affection in her heart.
Now that there is such an ending, it is undoubtedly a wonderful compensation for Yu Ziyan, and it also fulfills her long-cherished wish.
When it comes to this topic, Zi Yan actually feels a little embarrassed. After all, although she has met her biological father, it is really hard for her to adapt to this sudden family affection.
However, she was very satisfied with the result from the bottom of her heart, because it made her realize that she was not abandoned and that there were always people who loved her. It was just that due to some reasons, things did not go as she wished.
"In that case, shouldn't you, Zi Yan, go back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible?" Medusa asked with concern as she gently rubbed Zi Yan's hair. "After all, the matter of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit should be quite urgent. It would be better if you could go back and absorb it as soon as possible."
Zi Yan was slightly stunned by this. She knew very well about the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and its importance.
Moreover, now with the help of the drop of blood given by her father that carries a bit of his thoughts, if she wants to fully absorb the medicinal power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, it will be much smoother than blindly absorbing it directly, and there will be basically no accidents and risks.
According to common sense, we should return to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible.
However, when she thought about leaving, she felt reluctant.
After all, she knew very well that absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was not something that could be accomplished overnight, and it would take at least years. If she returned to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, she would not be able to meet Xiao Ling and the others for a long time.
Xiao Ling was naturally keenly aware of the change in Zi Yan's expression, and roughly guessed what she was thinking. He reached out and gently rubbed her hair, with a gentle smile on his face, and said:
"Okay, there's no rush for this. Once I finish all the other things I have on hand, we'll go back to Zhongzhou. It won't be too late to send you back to the Ancient Dragon Clan then, and it won't take up much time."
The main purpose of Xiao Ling's return to Canaan College this time was to meet Long Huang Zhu Kun, hoping to get some help from him so that when Zi Yan absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, the situations that had occurred in the original timeline would not occur again.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Xiao Ling naturally no longer has that strong sense of urgency in his heart.
Moreover, Ancient Dragon Island has done a very good job of keeping the news of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit confidential, so there shouldn't be any unexpected situations, so there is really no need to be too anxious.
Zi Yan fully agreed with Xiao Ling's proposal and naturally had no objection.
After all, this way, you can give yourself some buffer time before separation, and the days that follow will be much easier, without falling into the sadness of parting all of a sudden.
In the following time, Xiao Ling and his friends no longer cared about other things and just chatted leisurely in the courtyard.
When Xiao Ling was in a good mood, he went into the kitchen and prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone.
You know, with Xiao Ling's powerful mental power, when cooking, the control of various seasonings and techniques is naturally extremely precise. Therefore, the food he made tastes so delicious.
What's more, the ingredients themselves are all various precious monster meats collected by Xiao Ling. With such high-quality raw materials, this dinner is simply the most delicious thing on earth.
As night fell, like a piece of black silk slowly spreading out, the entire inner courtyard was gradually shrouded in the darkness, and the surroundings became quiet.
After Xiao Ling and his friends spent a pleasant and warm time in the courtyard, the girls returned to their rooms one after another to deal with their own matters.
Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, in the end only Medusa and Xiao Ling were left in the courtyard.
The moonlight was like water, pouring into the courtyard and covering the ground with a layer of silver gauze. The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were all covered with a mysterious veil under the caress of the night, and the shadows were hazy.
Xiao Ling and Medusa sat opposite each other. The breeze blew gently, lifting a few strands of Medusa's hair. Her beautiful face looked even more charming under the moonlight, and her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.
Xiao Ling looked at her quietly, and for a moment, a quiet atmosphere spread between the two of them, as if all the noise in the world had gone away, leaving only this world and each other's eyes.
"You are going back to the Snake People tomorrow, right?" Xiao Ling was the first to break the quiet atmosphere and spoke softly.
"Yeah." Medusa responded lightly without elaborating.
"Then you should rest early. After you have dealt with the matters of the Snake People, you can return to Canaan College to meet up with us. Then we will return to Zhongzhou together."
Xiao Ling nodded gently and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Are you so sure that I will follow you back to Zhongzhou instead of staying peacefully in the Serpent People tribe and be my Queen Medusa?"
At this time, Medusa stared at Xiao Ling with a smile on her face and said, there was a different light in her eyes, and it was hard to tell whether she was teasing or serious.
Xiao Ling also realized in an instant that what he said before was indeed a bit presumptuous. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
