A silver figure came to Xiao Tian's side, looking left and right but not seeing the figure who usually followed Xiao Tian. She asked in confusion, "Why isn't Junior Sister Xun'er here?"
" Han Yue, you're here."
Xiao Tian looked at Han Yue beside him, smiled slightly, and then briefly told her about Xun'er's departure.
Hearing that Xun'er had already left the academy, Han Yue was silent for a moment, recalling how she had wondered why Xun'er had told her to take good care of Xiao Tian.
Breaking from her usual cold demeanor, she held Xiao Tian's hand, trying to comfort him: "Although Xun'er left so suddenly, you also said you would go and bring her back, so Xun'er will surely wait for you."
"You also need to take good care of yourself. Let's work hard together, and then we can go and bring Xun'er back together."
Her words and this action were undoubtedly a huge decision, and also amounted to a confession.
Although Han Yue's jade hand was cool to the touch, Xiao Tian felt her determination and warmth within it.
Xiao Tian did not hesitate; he already harbored feelings for Han Yue. With mutual affection, he directly clasped Han Yue's hand, holding it tightly.
Han Yue felt his response, and her face gradually became flushed, but more than that, she was delighted, knowing that this action meant Xiao Tian accepted her.
Xun'er: I asked you to take care of my boyfriend, and this is how you take care of him??
The people around them saw the interaction between Xiao Tian and Han Yue, and sounds of heartbreak and wails erupted. Another goddess of the academy had fallen into Xiao Tian's hands.
Although Xiao Tian already had Xun'er, she didn't mind, and most importantly, Xun'er had implicitly indicated her approval.
In the cultivation world, it was normal for a talented strong person to have several women.
The people of Boundless Gate looked at the interaction between the two with strange expressions. Even Zi Yan, who was eating pills nearby, paused for a moment, but always focused on growing up, she glanced at the matter and then paid it no more attention.
Zi Yan secretly thought to herself, she didn't want to hear any love stories now; she just wanted to grow up, unaware that she would not be like this in the future.
"Yue'er, after the Heart Flame Body Tempering, come find me. I have something for you."
Xiao Tian squeezed Han Yue's hand and said to her softly.
Han Yue's ears turned red when she heard Xiao Tian's address. Being called that by a junior disciple younger than herself, was she not essentially an old cow eating tender grass? For a moment, Han Yue's thoughts began to wander, recalling some romance novels that Moon Spirit's people had recommended to her.
Not hearing Han Yue's response, he turned his head in confusion to look at her, only to see her eyes constantly flickering, not knowing what she was thinking, looking very cute.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face: "Yue'er, what are you thinking about?" He quietly leaned closer to her, whispering almost inaudibly in her ear: "You're not thinking about anything unhealthy, are you?"
Hearing Xiao Tian's words again, Han Yue finally sobered up, thinking of the things she had been fantasizing about earlier. She had already fantasized about kissing Xiao Tian... entering the bridal chamber... until the last moment, she was interrupted by Xiao Tian's words.
"No... no, I didn't, absolutely not!" Han Yue quickly waved her hands, hastily denying Xiao Tian's statement, looking as if she would rather die than admit it.
Xiao Tian looked at her expression and knew she must have been thinking about something unhealthy. Indeed, were those seemingly cold fairies actually seasoned veterans behind the scenes?
Seeing Xiao Tian's 'I knew it' expression, and thinking of what she had been thinking, Han Yue felt utterly mortified.
If there were a crack in the ground, she would have burrowed into it. She even felt her toes had already dug out a three-bedroom, two-living-room space.
"I'll come find you then. I heard you gave away this opportunity for Heart Flame Body Tempering to someone else?"
Han Yue quickly changed the subject, otherwise, if Xiao Tian kept asking, she would be socially dead. If someone else overheard, wouldn't she just die on the spot?
"Hmm, this isn't of much use to me."
Xiao Tian moved the hand he was holding Han Yue's with, and said proudly.
"It seems your cultivation is very high. No wonder you were able to defeat Senior Sister Zi Yan. I'm really curious about your strength."
Han Yue leaned closer to Xiao Tian, her breath like orchids as she asked. Hearing Han Yue's words, Zi Yan, who was chewing pills nearby, also subtly shuffled her feet closer.
"I'll tell you another day." Xiao Tian smiled at Han Yue, then used one hand to cover Zi Yan's head, who had leaned over, and said with a smile, "Zi Yan, are you curious too?"
Zi Yan did not hesitate and nodded directly, thinking of how she had been completely helpless before Xiao Tian, and she was also very curious about Xiao Tian's strength.
With her monstrous strength and control over space, although she was now a Five-Star Dou King, ordinary peak Dou Kings were no match for her. She could even fight a One-Star Dou Emperor to a standstill. The beast body was just that unreasonable.
Xiao Tian looked at Zi Yan. He would definitely abduct her in the future. Currently, Zi Yan was still too naive; without the inheritance of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, she basically relied solely on brute force in fights, lacking any techniques for exerting and utilizing her monstrous strength effectively.
Zi Yan's talent was top-tier throughout the entire Fighting Qi Continent. In fact, only Xun'er on the whole continent could compare with her, and strictly speaking, Xun'er was even inferior to her.
"Zi Yan, you don't want to lose your pills to eat in the future, do you?"
Xiao Tian felt that this statement seemed a bit off. Han Yue also looked at Xiao Tian with a puzzled expression. At this moment, Xiao Tian looked like a strange uncle trying to trick a child, and Zi Yan was also full of questions.
Xiao Tian looked at their expressions and quickly corrected himself: "That is, do you still want the pills I refine for you in the future?"
"Yes!!" Zi Yan did not hesitate and nodded frantically.
"Then, do you want to put your name on my faction? If you follow me, I'll cover your pills, so you can always have them to eat. I can even tell you my cultivation realm. How about it? Do you want to consider it?"
Xiao Tian's voice was like a demonic sound from hell, constantly looping in Zi Yan's mind. Zi Yan's head kept circling the words 'pills' and 'energy.' She placed her finger on her lips, lost in thought.
"Cough cough!"
Before Zi Yan could answer, a cough sounded, and several aged figures appeared beyond them. The one who coughed was precisely Elder Su Qian.
He had already arrived when Han Yue asked Xiao Tian about his cultivation, but he hadn't shown himself. He was also curious about Xiao Tian's cultivation, but upon hearing Xiao Tian trying to lure Zi Yan, he couldn't hold back any longer and revealed himself.
He felt that if he had appeared any slower, Zi Yan, whom he raised as his granddaughter, would have been abducted. The more he looked at Xiao Tian now, the more he felt like his hair was yellow.
Xiao Tian looked at the Grand Elder in front of the tower gate, amused. He had sensed his arrival long ago, and he was still eavesdropping on other people's conversations; truly an improper old fellow.
Zi Yan, who had been caught in endless temptation and thought, also sobered up at the Grand Elder's cough, preparing to say something to Xiao Tian.
