The two first recounted to Xuan Yi how Xiao Tian had rescued her, with many parts subtly embellished and exaggerated.
Xuan Yi heard them say that Xiao Tian, to save her, even took out an incredibly precious Eighth Grade Pill with five-colored pill lightning and gave it to her.
Five-colored pill lightning! Eighth Grade Pill!
These words were like an invisible giant hammer, carrying immense force, smashing heavily into her calm heart.
Xuan Yi understood instantly upon hearing this.
So that is it! No wonder... no wonder since waking up, she had always felt a strange, warm energy, continuous and nourishing her damaged soul.*
Even she did not have many Eighth Grade Pills, let alone taking one out to save a stranger.
Frankly, she absolutely could not have done what Xiao Tian did, taking it out for a stranger.
One must know that on this continent, for every Eighth Grade Pill that appeared, many people would even turn against their siblings, or even become enemies with their fathers, all because of an Eighth Grade Pill.
Not only did he take out an Eighth Grade Pill, but he also tirelessly dispelled the black mist corroding her soul.
Xuan Yi's heart was filled with even more gratitude towards Xiao Tian, to the point where she did not know how she could ever repay his kindness.
About twenty minutes later, Xiao Tian walked in from outside the mountain cave and heard peals of laughter as melodious as silver bells.
Looking towards the deepest part of the mountain cave, he saw Xuan Yi holding Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng, talking about something, with smiles on all three of their faces.
"Daddy."
The three also noticed Xiao Tian's figure, and Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng immediately left Xuan Yi's side and ran towards Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian saw their adorable appearance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a very faint smile.
"Hey~~ Daddy is right here."
After Xiao Tian's voice fell, the two Little Princesses, like two cheerful little birds, flew into Xiao Tian's embrace.
Xiao Tian held one in each arm, gently rubbing his chin against his daughters' soft cheeks. "Our Little Princesses are awake?"
Xuan Yi, sitting on the stone bed, looked at the two Little Princesses who had just been sweetly clinging to her, saying things like 'Aunt Xuan is the best,' and 'I love Aunt Xuan the most.'
Now that Xiao Tian was back, they instantly left her side.
"Daddy, I am hungry," Xiao Ling said, tilting her little head at Xiao Tian.
"Okay, okay. Daddy will go get something to eat now. You two go wash up first." Xiao Tian's voice was filled with deep affection and gentleness; he kissed the two Little Princesses on their faces, then set them down.
Xuan Yi heard Xiao Tian's incredibly gentle voice and curiously looked at him, who was smiling. Earlier, when talking to her, he had been domineering and fearless of heaven and earth.
Now, looking at him, he was completely a doting father; she even wondered if she was hallucinating because her soul had not fully recovered.
For a moment, she did not know which was the real Xiao Tian, and looking at Xiao Tian's current appearance, she found it inexplicably amusing.
After the four enjoyed a delicious roasted rabbit feast, Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng began to cultivate.
Xuan Yi watched the two adorable Little Princesses intently as they sat cross-legged on the cushions they had taken out, cultivating with practiced ease.
But as they began to cultivate and the aura emanated from them, Xuan Yi's faint smile instantly froze.
She reached out and patted her face, checking if she was hallucinating because she had just eaten mushroom soup.
But even after her face turned red from patting, she finally confirmed it was not a hallucination.
Three years old, Dou Huang? You are telling me they are three years old?
She looked at Xiao Tian beside her in disbelief, asking, "Are they... are they Dou Huangs?"
"Yes, they are. What is wrong? Do you think their strength is still too low?"
Xuan Yi listened to Xiao Tian and could not help but want to spray him in the face. She had seen people pretend, but never to this extent. At least try to hide your smirk, hey, it is almost reaching your eyes.
Xuan Yi looked at the two of them, her eyes constantly flickering, and silently read the names of Xiao Tian and the others. She suddenly recalled something her teacher had told her before.
However, that family rumor was said to have disappeared into the long river of time, so she ultimately chose not to ask, because everyone has their own secrets, and prying too much would only cause annoyance.
Xuan Yi quickly composed herself, adjusted her thoughts, and looked at Xiao Tian with a smile. "Regarding their cultivation, I am more interested in knowing what your current cultivation is."
"Me? I am just an ordinary person who happens to be quite handsome, with no Dou Qi cultivation whatsoever," Xiao Tian said perfunctorily.
Xuan Yi rolled her eyes; she did not believe a single word he said. "An ordinary person can give birth to such excellent daughters?"
"What if it is because their mother is excellent?"
Xuan Yi heard Xiao Tian's words and suddenly felt there was indeed some truth to it. Moreover, they had mentioned earlier that the three of them had been driven out.
As Xuan Yi thought, she suddenly shook her head, almost being led astray by this guy; he was simply poisonous.
She did not believe Xiao Tian was an ordinary person. Although her soul was weak now, she still had good judgment of people. Xiao Tian was clearly not the so-called ordinary person.
"If you were an ordinary person, how could their mother have fallen for you?" Xuan Yi said, looking as if she had seen through him.
"Because I am handsome. Who on this entire continent is as handsome as me?"
Xuan Yi listened and thought, it seemed true. Even the person she had once liked did not possess Xiao Tian's appearance.
On the entire continent, it would be difficult to find anyone who could even come close, let alone someone who was two-thirds as handsome as him.
"Slick-tongued, there is not a single truthful word from your mouth. Sooner or later, I will figure out all your secrets."
Xuan Yi felt that the composure she had cultivated over the years through self-cultivation had been mostly destroyed by Xiao Tian during this period.
This person was definitely poisonous; she could not get too close.
She stood up, intending to move away from Xiao Tian and continue recovering her body. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned to look at Xiao Tian, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, and said softly:
"Thank you for the Eighth Grade Pill." Her voice was steady but could not hide its sincerity.
"Hmm?" Xiao Tian's hand instantly froze. He looked at the two Little Princesses cultivating nearby and, remembering their earlier conversation, understood. He smiled faintly. "It was just a small effort."
"Your great kindness will surely be repaid many times over in the future."
Xuan Yi heard his words and could not help but roll her eyes. Her emotional fluctuations in a short period of time were more than all the times she had spent in the Pill Tower combined. She decided not to bother with him anymore, and after leaving a remark, she walked towards the stone bed.
"Take this; it can help you recover faster."
