In the early morning, after Xiao Tian had bathed, he returned to the bed and looked at the sleeping Medusa, who still had a smile on her face, and chuckled softly.
They had chatted through the night, recounting various stories, sometimes making Medusa gasp and exclaim in surprise.
When the conversation reached a critical point, Xiao Tian would deliberately scare Medusa, and each time, Medusa would involuntarily roll her eyes at Xiao Tian, expressing her helplessness.
During their chat, Medusa also told Xiao Tian many stories about small animals, such as the similarities between rabbits and big bad wolves, and kittens and leopards.
Xiao Tian listened with great interest, as if he had entered an animal world.

In a certain forest in the Primordial Heaven Realm, an energy vortex nearly dozens of feet wide appeared. The surrounding heaven and earth energy was continuously sucked in, pouring into the innermost part of the vortex.
In the distance from the vortex, two figures, a man and a woman, stood. As the camera zoomed in, they were revealed to be Yao Lao and Nalan Yanran.
"Is Xiao Yan about to successfully break through?" Nalan Yanran asked Yao Lao nervously, looking at Xiao Yan at the source of the vortex with a worried expression.
Nalan Yanran was very respectful of Yao Lao, and Yao Lao would sometimes casually guide Nalan Yanran.
"Do not worry. I just checked. Xiao Yan Zi's aura is very stable, and he should be able to break through successfully soon!" Yao Lao said with deep eyes, looking at the energy vortex in front of him.
A wisp of white smoke drifted out, forming a human figure. "Little girl, do not worry. With us two old fellows here, how could anything happen to him? Moreover, Xiao Yan will break through very soon, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Teacher and Venerable Skyfire, for taking care of my Xiao Yan." Nalan Yanran bowed slightly, expressing her sincere gratitude to the two.
Venerable Skyfire nodded with a smile and glanced at Nalan Yanran. Her talent was excellent, but unfortunately, she already had a teacher, and her attribute was wind, which did not match his own, so he had nothing to teach her.
Yao Lao waved his hand, observing the energy vortex, and sighed, "It is also fortunate that the heaven and earth energy here with Xiao Tian is relatively pure and abundant, able to satisfy Xiao Yan Zi's absorption."
The two on the side also nodded in agreement, especially Nalan Yanran, who felt it more deeply. Her current talent was entirely due to Xiao Tian's help; it had changed so much. If it were with her past talent, she did not know when she would be able to break through to her current Five-Star Dou Huang.
She recalled when her teacher, Yun Yun, came to find her and injected a physique pill energy into her body.
With her teacher's help in refining it, Nalan Yanran found that her affinity for the wind attribute increased linearly.
After the refinement was complete, and after her teacher's explanation, she understood that she had now become a Physique Possessor.
In the Jia Ma Empire, and even the Northwest Continent, she had never heard of such a thing as cultivation physiques.
After Yun Yun's explanation, Nalan Yanran understood the importance of a physique. Even in the Central Plains, it was one in ten thousand, not to mention a physique with no side effects.
Nalan Yanran guessed that this item was something her teacher had obtained from Xiao Tian. After witnessing the Primordial Heaven Realm, she realized how powerful and mysterious Xiao Tian was.
She also sighed that it was fortunate that the annulment of the engagement back then was not a relentless one, otherwise her Nalan family would have long turned to dust.

As more and more energy surged into the energy vortex, a majestic aura, like a waking giant dragon, slowly emanated from Xiao Yan.
"Break!!!" Xiao Yan roared, and a powerful momentum erupted from his body, instantly scattering the energy vortex above his head.
Then Xiao Yan's body shot straight into the sky, his aura magnificent, like a sky-opening sword, piercing through the endless firmament above.
"Hahahaha!!!! I have finally broken through to Dou Zong!!!"
Xiao Yan lightly stepped on the void, continuously laughing loudly in the high sky. Breaking through to Dou Zong meant that he could set off to explore the charming land of the Central Plains.
Suddenly, a figure with wings flapping behind her quickly swooped towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan also recognized who the newcomer was, and he opened his arms to embrace the person approaching.
In an instant, Xiao Yan was embraced by a fragrant beauty.
"Xiao Yan, you finally succeeded!"
The newcomer was Nalan Yanran, who had been waiting nearby. Xiao Yan stroked her beautiful hair. "Hmm, breaking through to Dou Zong is an easy matter."
Nalan Yanran, in Xiao Yan's arms, looked up at him and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. "Look how happy you are. Sooner or later, my strength will catch up to yours, and then I will make you cry."
Xiao Yan heard Nalan Yanran's words, looked down at her, and thought to himself: I wonder who it is that cries like a pear blossom bathed in rain every time.
Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's eyes met, and an unusual atmosphere naturally arose.
Their faces gradually drew closer, finally touching, and they passionately kissed, lost in the moment.
Their bodies slowly rotated in the air, descending towards the ground.
Five minutes later, a light cough sounded.
"Cough cough~~"
Hearing the sound, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, who had been lost in their passion, instantly snapped awake.
"That is enough. Did you not see that there are still two old fellows here?" The helpless Yao Lao could only speak up to interrupt them; otherwise, they would not know when to stop kissing.
Nalan Yanran heard this and remembered they were outside, with two old fellows around. Her face instantly turned red, and she even felt steam subtly rising from her head.
She tidied her clothes, then flashed behind Xiao Yan, hiding herself, looking as if she could not face anyone, secretly thinking to herself how she could not control herself and had now lost face greatly.
But is this what Teacher used to say, that love is like poison?
No wonder Teacher turned into a little woman in front of Xiao Tian, always snuggling in his arms for no particular reason.
