Take You to Have Some Fun

Nalan Yanran stared blankly at the two flickering afterimages on the fighting arena. Even with the dynamic vision of a fellow Dou Zhe, she was completely unable to keep track of them!

Moreover, the sonic booms produced whenever their limbs collided made the strength behind their blows abundantly clear.

Nalan Yanran was certain that if she fought either one of them, she would be defeated in an instant!!!

Was this really... merely the strength of a Dou Zhe?

Nalan Yanran's heart sank deeply. Even the Dou Master-level guards of the Nalan Family could never produce such a spectacle when fighting one another!

The Three-Year Pact?

Three years would not even be necessary!

Xiao Yan could knock her flat with a casual blow right now!!!

At that moment, Nalan Yanran suddenly recalled what Ya Fei had told her earlier.

"Put away your arrogance. Put away your self-righteousness."

"Leaving family background aside, are you truly worthy of Xiao Yan?"

!!!!!

Despair filled Nalan Yanran's face as she collapsed helplessly to her knees.

What had I been so smug about before...?

Blessed with outstanding talent, she had been praised by those around her as a Heaven's Proud Daughter seen only once in a century. Nalan Yanran had also taken immense pride in the admiration she received.

It was precisely because of that that she had looked down on her never-before-seen fiancé, the fallen genius, and had so unreasonably and ostentatiously brought Ge Ye to Wutan City to break off the engagement.

Although Nalan Yanran knew that as long as she had not known Xiao Yan was him, even if her never-before-seen fiancé had remained a genius adored by all, she would still have come to break off the engagement. After all, she had already fallen for the Xiao Yan whose name she had not yet known, and there could be no room for anyone else in her life.

But in that case, she would never have adopted such a lofty attitude, much less nearly coerced him into ending the engagement!

This was a matter of mindset, an error at its root. Nalan Yanran could make no excuse for it.

In her heart, Nalan Yanran asked herself a soul-searching question.

Was she truly worthy of Xiao Yan?

While Nalan Yanran was lost in despair, the fighting arena had also produced a victor.

Caught off guard for an instant, Xiao Ning took a vicious punch to the shoulder from Xiao Yan and tumbled straight off the platform, signaling his defeat.

"Ow, ow, ow! My butt!"

Xiao Ning rose while rubbing his backside, his brows tightly furrowed, then looked up at Xiao Yan on the fighting platform.

"Sure enough, I still can't beat you."

Though Xiao Ning had expected this outcome, he could not help feeling somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Xiao Yan, standing on the platform, cupped his fist in salute and smiled.

"Cousin Xiao Ning, you let me win."

"Let you win, my ass. Losing means losing."

Xiao Ning helplessly ran a hand through his hair. A loss was a loss; there was no disputing the facts. He, Xiao Ning, was not so petty that he could not accept defeat.

Xiao Yan then leaped down from the fighting platform. Only then did the examiner snap back to his senses and hurriedly announce for the next pair of contestants to take the stage.

"Hey~ Cousin Xiao Yan~"

Xiao Ning slung an arm around Xiao Yan's shoulders, carefully glanced at Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er, who were intently watching the matches on the platform, then deliberately lowered his voice with a sly grin.

"There's nothing going on today. Come on! Go to Ningchun Tower with your cousin!"

Xiao Ning was someone who loved having fun. He had been cooped up on the mountain for three whole months, and after coming down, he had spent the past few days busy helping the Xiao Family prepare for the New Year. He had not even had time to slip out.

But now, the opportunity had come!

Before Xiao Yan could answer, Yao Chen in the Ring began shouting.

Go, go, go! Let's head to Ningchun Tower! I've visited plenty of high-end places before, and I want to see what the service in your Wutan City is like too~

"..."

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan froze for a long while before timidly asking in his heart.

Elder Yao, aren't you a woman?

What, women can't go to places like that to have fun?

Yao Chen curled her lips in displeasure, but then a hint of excitement rose in her words.

When all is said and done, what's so great about touching men's bodies? They're rough, their texture is awful, and some faces are enough to turn your stomach just by looking at them. Young girls are still better. Back then, I rented out Luofengyu for an entire month. That time was pure bliss—I can still savor the memory of it now~

Listening to Yao Chen, Xiao Yan could practically see the drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

He did not know where Luofengyu was, but from the name alone, he could guess it was the same kind of place as Ningchun Tower.

Yao Chen's lofty, mysterious image in Xiao Yan's heart instantly dropped several levels.

Xiao Yan pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache.

It seemed that his teacher, Beautiful as a Celestial Being, had a nature far more depraved than he had realized?

"No, I'd better not go." Xiao Yan lightly waved his hand and said to Xiao Ning, "I am the Clan Leader's son, after all. My father may have something else for me later, so it would be better not to leave without permission."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Ning showed a trace of disappointment, while Yao Chen in the Ring let out a deeply regretful sigh.

"Fine. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. I'll go by myself then. See you!"

With that, Xiao Ning waved his hand, crossed through the bustling crowd in a few bounds, and vanished In a Flash.

Watching the direction in which Xiao Ning disappeared, Xiao Yan helplessly shrugged, then turned to look at the Xiao Family Disciples competing on the fighting platform.

"But there really is nothing to do right now." Xiao Yan muttered, then slowly made his way through the crowd. "I'll just wander around."

Just as Xiao Yan passed through the sea of people and was about to leave, something suddenly caught the corner of his eye. He backed up two steps and turned to look at Nalan Yanran, who was kneeling amid the crowd.

Why was this Girl kneeling on the ground?

Xiao Yan Raised an Eyebrow, walked over to Nalan Yanran, crouched beside her, and asked softly.

"Little Glutton, why are you kneeling here?"

Hearing that familiar form of address, Nalan Yanran instinctively recoiled. She slowly turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan, who was crouching beside her with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Yan..."

Nalan Yanran stared blankly at Xiao Yan. Only after several seconds did she come back to her senses. An extremely complicated expression surfaced on her face, and she turned her head away, not daring to meet Xiao Yan's eyes again.

"I'm fine."

Nalan Yanran slowly stood up, her head lowered and her eyes hidden behind her hair. She spoke softly to Xiao Yan.

"I'll return to the Misty Cloud Sect first. Please say goodbye to Uncle Xiao for me."

With that, Nalan Yanran turned to leave, but Xiao Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed her fair wrist.

"What happened?"

Xiao Yan's brows were tightly furrowed as he questioned her in a stern voice.

Nalan Yanran did not even Care About him calling her Little Glutton anymore. This was a serious problem!

Nalan Yanran paused for a moment before answering softly.

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry."

As she spoke, Nalan Yanran tried to pull her hand back, but Xiao Yan gripped it too tightly for her to succeed.

"Let go of me."

"If you were leaving normally, I naturally wouldn't stop you." Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran's profile and spoke slowly. "But with you like this, there's no way I'll let you leave."

The first reason was that Nalan Yanran was the Nalan Family's young lady and also the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. If she returned looking like this, rumors might spread that the Xiao Family had bullied Nalan Yanran.

Good news never left the house, while bad news traveled a thousand miles. Xiao Yan knew that from personal experience.

The second reason was that although Xiao Yan did not know why Nalan Yanran had become like this, he vaguely felt it had something to do with him. Precisely because of that, he could not ignore her.

But in her current state, talking probably would not work.

Xiao Yan made up his mind. Pulling Nalan Yanran along by the arm, he headed toward the entrance of the Xiao Family estate. He turned his face toward her and smiled before she could ask anything.

"Come with me~ I'll take you to have some fun~"
