Miss Yan Ran, What an Intimate Way to Address Her

"The Burning Poison has been removed!"

"It's gone. I don't know what method this young lady used, but Grandfather feels much more comfortable than before. It's like he got a second chance at life."

Nalan Yanran lightly reached out and picked up Bai Xiaoran.

"So light!"

Nalan Jie said, "What girl would be heavy? Let her rest properly."

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Just leave her to me."

She carried Bai Xiaoran and ran toward her bedroom. Naturally, she was delighted that her grandfather had recovered, but the beauty in her arms was even more light and soft. Staring at that alluring sleeping face and those soft red lips, she really wanted to lean down and kiss him.

After placing him on the bed, she reached out to remove Bai Xiaoran's shoes. The sight of those small, exquisite jade feet made her heart race.

"His feet are so small. Is Young Master Bai really a boy?"

She held them in her palm and gave them a few squeezes. A muffled groan immediately sounded, and when she looked up, Bai Xiaoran's cheeks had already turned rosy.

Nalan Yanran patted her chest. "No, no. I like boys. Why am I craving a girl so much?"

She did not undress him. Once she had settled him in, she left the bedroom.

After Nalan Yanran left, the Little White Snake crawled out from his clothes and looked around.

At that moment, Nalan Jie and Nalan Su, having regulated their breathing, came over together.

"Yan Ran, why are you in such a panic? Did something happen to that young lady?"

"No, Grandfather. I just accidentally thought of something."

Nalan Jie said, "As long as nothing happened, that's good. Keep her company properly. Someone so gifted is worth the Nalan Family making closer ties with."

"Don't worry, Grandfather."

Nalan Jie sighed. "It's a pity she's a girl. If she were a man, Yan Ran, you might still have had a chance."

At that, Nalan Yanran's little face flushed red as she lowered her head shyly. "Grandfather, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"You don't understand. It's rare for someone that age to possess Heavenly Flames."

Seeing Nalan Yanran's bashful appearance, Nalan Jie tentatively asked, "Yan Ran, don't tell me you like women?"

"There's nothing wrong with women. It's not like it's impossible."

Nalan Su looked at his daughter and father. How were their views so ahead of their time?

"You take care of the young lady first. Your father and I still have matters to handle."

After Nalan Jie and Nalan Su left, Nalan Yanran entered the room and discovered that Bai Xiaoran had already awakened and was cultivating.

"This aura... he's about to break through to Da Dou Shi!"

Before Nalan Yanran had entered, he had already swallowed the medicinal pill Yun Yun gave him. He had also shown signs of breaking through while removing the Burning Poison.

That poison pill would definitely prove useful.

Azure flames and three-colored energy clashed fiercely within his meridians, producing hissing sounds. The three-colored energy boiled rapidly, and dense ripples of energy spread from his body as Bai Xiaoran endured the pain.

The Green Lotus Core Flame wrapped around the three-colored energy and circulated along the cultivation technique's route, forcibly fusing it into a bluish-brown liquid energy.

Before long, an aura leaked out, and Nalan Yanran said, "What a powerful aura."

When Bai Xiaoran opened his eyes and sensed the changes within his body, he said, "I've finally broken through."

"Congratulations, Young Master Bai."

"Mm. How is Old Master Nalan's condition?" Bai Xiaoran asked.

"Thanks to Young Master Bai, he has fully recovered."

Nalan Yanran took Bai Xiaoran's hand. "Come on, I'll show you around. Staying in the room all the time is stifling."

The two then left the room.

Quite a few members of the Nalan Family were surprised when they saw Bai Xiaoran.

"Who is that? A new maid Miss Nalan took in?"

"Are you an idiot? Can't you see how proper Miss Nalan is being? Their relationship must be unusual."

"You're both idiots. This is the one who helped the clan leader remove the Burning Poison. She possesses Heavenly Flames and is an extraordinary talent."

As the disciples discussed him, Bai Xiaoran immediately felt uncomfortable. His little face flushed as he said, "Miss Nalan, let's go quickly. I don't like being stared at like this."

Nalan Yanran froze for a moment. When she saw Bai Xiaoran's expression, she immediately understood and pulled his little hand as she ran elsewhere.

After they had wandered around for some time, Nalan Jie summoned them to the family's Council Hall.

The two entered hand in hand, looking like a pair of close sisters. This undoubtedly put Nalan Jie in a good mood.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving this old man's life."

Bai Xiaoran said, "I was only here to give it a try. You're too polite, Old Master."

"Even so, this is a gift the Nalan Family has prepared for you."

Nalan Jie handed him a Storage Ring containing quite a few medicinal pills, several bottles of Qi Gathering Powder, and two Third Grade Pills.

He had to admit that the Nalan Family was truly generous.

"Besides these, I also had the maids of the clan buy three dresses and Lipstick that are very popular in the Jiamar Empire. I hope you'll like them, young lady."

Bai Xiaoran froze. "Huh?"

"Doesn't the young lady like them?" Nalan Jie had assumed all women would like such things.

Bai Xiaoran covered his face, not knowing how to explain it. These dresses and Lipstick were useless to him!

"Old Master, I think you may have misunderstood. I'm a boy, not a girl. Didn't Miss Nalan tell you?"

"A boy!"

Nalan Jie and Nalan Su were utterly shocked. He said he was a boy!

They turned to Nalan Yanran. "Yan Ran, what exactly is going on?"

Nalan Yanran hurriedly explained, "He is from the Xiao Family of Wutan City. The Xiao Family's rapid development is all connected to Young Master Bai. Besides, Grandfather, you never gave me a chance to explain."

"Then these dresses..."

"It's fine, Grandfather. Young Master Bai will like them."

Nalan Yanran accepted them on Bai Xiaoran's behalf.

"As long as you like them. As for this young lady... this young friend, if there is ever anything you need this old man for in the Jiamar Empire, you may come to the Nalan Family."

"Then thank you, Old Master."

After chatting for a few more moments, Bai Xiaoran and Nalan Yanran left the Xiao Family.

After the two left, Nalan Jie smiled. "A boy is good. A boy is truly wonderful."

"Father, since you wanted Yan Ran to pursue that young master, why did you say it so directly?"

"How could I do that? At a glance, this young man is not someone who can be forced. That would only drive him farther and farther from us. What happens next is Yan Ran's own fate. If she can win over this young friend, perhaps our Nalan Family can soar as well in the future."

Nalan Jie had seen many people. In matters of love, people like them could not interfere too much, especially when the other party possessed Heavenly Flames.

"Can Yan Ran manage it? I heard he has a very good relationship with Ya Fei from the Mite'er Family auction house."

Nalan Jie was stunned. "Ya Fei? Then Yan Ran has quite a troublesome rival. I hope she can withstand the pressure."

After leaving the Nalan Family, the two ate nearby before Bai Xiaoran was sent to the Mite'er Family.

Nalan Yanran said shyly, "Young Master Bai, you don't need to call me Miss Nalan in the future. It's too distant. Just call me Yan Ran."

"No problem. Then Yan Ran, you don't need to see me off."

"Mm. I'll come find Young Master Bai again in a few days."

Like a young girl newly in love, Nalan Yanran excitedly turned around and ran off.

"Miss Yan Ran... what an intimate way to address her~"
