Her legs went soft, and her body 'reasonably' fell towards Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian reached out and wrapped his arm around Han Xue's slender waist, steadying her. "What is wrong?"
"Maybe I stared too long inside just now. My head feels a bit dizzy," Han Xue said, feigning weakness.
Xiao Tian did not expose Han Xue's little scheme. "Then shall I carry you over?"
"Yes! Yes!" Han Xue instantly jumped up, cheering.
Afterwards, realizing she should be acting weak, she quickly leaned back onto Xiao Tian's body. "Oh dear, I seem to be even dizzier. Did I have a moment of clarity just now?"
Watching from the side, Han Yue helplessly massaged her forehead. What a foolish little sister. You might as well have acted even more fake.
Xiao Tian glanced at Han Yue with amusement, and Han Yue awkwardly looked at the sky, as if saying it had nothing to do with her.
"Ah~" Han Xue suddenly gasped.
Her entire body was suddenly lifted by Xiao Tian in a princess carry. Han Xue quickly wrapped her arms around Xiao Tian's neck.
"You were so sudden. I was not prepared," Han Xue whispered, looking at Xiao Tian who was so close.
"Oh, then shall I put you down?"
Seeing Xiao Tian actually loosen his grip, Han Xue quickly refused. "No, my head is still dizzy, and I have no strength. If you put me down, I will not be able to stand steady."
Xiao Tian felt Han Xue's hands clutching tightly around his neck. He glanced sideways and could see her knuckles turning slightly white from the effort.
Is this your 'dizziness and weakness'? Heh, women!
Han Yue watched her sister with amusement. Love truly does muddle the mind; even her acting was full of holes.
"Yue'er, do you want me to carry you on my back?" Xiao Tian asked, smiling at Han Yue, who had been watching the show.
"No, I can walk by myself. Besides, I am not dizzy." Han Yue took the opportunity to tease her sister, as she had noticed Xiao Tian seemed to enjoy seeing Han Xue flustered.
"Sister, you are so mean, always making fun of me. It was not on purpose, you know," Han Xue squirmed in Xiao Tian's arms, looking embarrassed.
This made Xiao Tian and Han Yue laugh.
"Let us go. We should head back first. This is not the place to talk," Xiao Tian said, glancing at the two Palace Guards sitting in the corner, minding their own business.
"Mhm, let us go. We can also check if the other sisters have finished their seclusion." Han Yue took the lead and walked outside.
Xiao Tian followed closely, carrying Han Xue, who was secretly studying Xiao Tian's profile in his arms.
She suddenly thought that she should have worn a different dress, not this figure-hugging one. If it had been a flowing skirt, she might have been able to wrap her legs around Xiao Tian, allowing her to be even closer in his arms.
Han Yue and Xiao Tian walked side by side in the void, occasionally exchanging glances with Han Xue, as if to say, Plan, check!
Their every move had long fallen into Xiao Tian's eyes, and he silently put a checkmark in his heart.
Han Xue initially looked at Xiao Tian, but was eventually captivated by the beautiful scenery of the Primordial Heaven Realm, constantly taking it all in.
Xiao Tian also slowly reduced his speed, allowing Han Xue to observe the surrounding scenery more clearly.
Han Xue naturally noticed Xiao Tian's thoughtfulness, and her love for him grew even stronger.
A thoughtful man always earns bonus points.
Xiao Tian and Han Yue also introduced each place to Han Xue.
The journey was not far, and it took the three of them nearly twenty minutes to reach the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace, heading straight for the back palace.
There was a no-fly zone above the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace, but it was only effective for those without permission. For people like Xiao Tian and Han Yue, there was no such restriction.
"Is this the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace? It is so beautiful!" Arriving by the lake in the back palace, Han Xue quickly got down from Xiao Tian and looked at the many giant lotus flowers blooming in the lake.
These lotus flowers were not ordinary lotuses, but a medicinal ingredient used to refine fifth-grade pills, called Azure Leaf Jade Lotus.
Its fragrance had a calming and focusing effect, so Xiao Tian, Medusa, and the others usually chose to sit in the pavilion in the middle of the lake after cultivating or when they had time.
"Xue'er, I will show you around!" Han Yue said, seeing her sister eager to explore, and took her hand.
"Oh, yes! Yes!" Han Xue pulled Han Yue and ran off, even forgetting about Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian looked at Han Xue, thinking that Han Xue was actually around his age, and also very pure and kind. This liveliness had been suppressed for the sake of her family, and now it was finally being released.
Seeing the two sisters happy, Xiao Tian did not go to disturb them, but instead went to sit in the lakeside pavilion.
After sensing the situation, Medusa and the others were almost ready to emerge from seclusion, and the most special one, Little Zi Yan, was sound asleep there.
The way magical beasts refine powerful energy is by sleeping, which is also the most effective and fastest method.
Feeling the energy within her, it was almost completely refined. At that time, he could send her back to Dragon Island, as only there could Zi Yan truly grow.
Although his place was full of energy, there was nothing useful for the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, and he knew pitifully little about them.
Because whether in the original work or in the ancient texts here, records about the Void Ancient Dragon Clan were extremely scarce. This was mainly because they rarely appeared in the eyes of the world, usually hiding away to cultivate.
After she leaves, he should also start planning for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. He would give it to her then, knowing that upon her return, Little Zi Yan would have to endure a year or two of difficult study, and she would surely harbor a considerable amount of resentment towards him.
His little wife—he certainly had to pamper her a bit. If he did not pamper her, would he expect others to?
Meanwhile, Little Fairy Doctor was cultivating in the Miasma Forest, and Xiao Meng, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Ze were being looked after by Xiao Zhan.

Han Yue took Han Xue on a tour of the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace. Seeing her sister so happy, Han Yue was also happy for her.
Ever since they were old enough to understand, both of them had basically chosen to hide their true personalities for the sake of their family, constantly contributing to the family's growth.
Han Xue had worked even harder, managing the family's merchant caravan, personally handling most matters, and often traveling through mountains and rivers.
The two of them strolled through the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace, eventually arriving at Han Yue's palace.
Han Xue looked around her sister's room, which was decorated similarly to Han Yue's room in the Han Family. The only differences were the better quality of the furniture and the larger bed.
She secretly thought: Why is my sister's bed so big here? It is twice as large as the one in the Han Family. How strange.
Han Xue leaped onto Han Yue's bed, rolling around on the soft mattress, then lay on her stomach and looked at Han Yue.
"Sister, your bed here is so big. Four or five of me could lie on it without a problem. Why do I not come and live with you?!"
