After all, the human heart is made of flesh, not to mention that Yao Wan's every move seems to be aimed at the weakest point in her defense, making it impossible for her to resist.
Sincerity is always the most lethal weapon.
Just like how a shield can withstand the gurgling stream, the gentle spring breeze, and the bright sunshine, it is an unsolvable problem.
Yao Wan had already expected this, so naturally there was no need to say anything more. Nalan Yanran allowed Nalan Yanran to hug him gently and wipe his tears with his own clothes.
One less day of practice is naturally indispensable to Nalan Yanran today.
So Yao Wan is happy to see her cry thoroughly.
After all, people always have to find a suitable place to vent.
And Nalan has now reached this stage, and it is becoming increasingly easier and more convenient for Yao Wan.
"... Be good."
Yao Wan gently stroked her head, but sighed for no reason in his heart. Before doing this, he would have felt like a cat with exploded fur when he touched this girl.
"Oh..."
Yao Wan's soft voice of relief brought Nalan Yanran back to reality, took a breath, and immediately sorted out his emotions.
Yao Wan felt a slight movement in his arms, Nalan Yanran raised his head, his beautiful eyes were red, and his face was still stained with tears that had just fallen on his cheeks.
"Won't you cry any longer?"
There is no ordinary comfort, Yao Wan's words always make people feel unexpected.
Nalan Yanran, who originally wanted to pretend to be strong and say that he was fine, was obviously disturbed by Yao Wan's unreasonable words, so he subconsciously moved his eyes away.
"Forget it... I've been crying for too long, I'm afraid you'll laugh at me..."
"I've laughed at you once or twice, so why are you thinking about this?"
"This is different."
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but say with the sound of crying in his throat.
"Well, if you think you've cried enough, don't force me. But next time, don't use my clothes to wipe your tears... You probably secretly wiped your nose on it, right?"
"No! Am I the kind of person who is jealous?!"
Nalan Yanran paused for a moment and retorted as if his hair was exploding.
Yao Wan smiled, not angry at all. "Well, I have the strength to be angry now. It seems that I have really recovered."
"I'm not a child, how can I be so easy to coax-"
"Isn't it difficult to coax? I don't think so."
As he spoke, Yao Wan raised his fingertips and gently wiped away the tears on Nalan Yanran's cheeks.
Nalan Yanran was a little annoyed, but couldn't refute.
"Okay, do you want to continue practicing today? Although practicing day and night may be more suitable for you, I think it's better for you to rest."
"——No, you can't stop practicing, continue!"
However, Yao Wan stirred up her energy, as if thinking of something imminent, she stood up.
"? So anxious?"
Yao Wan raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but say.
"——Of course, time is running out, and I don't have that much time to waste."
After Nalan Yanran answered, looking at Yao Wan's face, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"... That, I said."
Nalan Yanran suddenly said, "You told me before, right? You want me to be Xiao Yan's whetstone, and you will help me become stronger... But what if I win? You never mentioned it, right?"
"I certainly didn't mention this on my own initiative."
Yao Wan said, "Although I still think you have no chance of winning... But if you really win, I can agree to one of your requests, whether it's a technique, Dou Technique, a pill, or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures - as long as I can do it, I'll give it to you. Are you satisfied now?"
Nalan Yanran is waiting for the sentence Yao Wan.
"Then——"
"Then, if I win, I want you to stay with me - how about that?"
"What? It turns out you were thinking about this."
Nalan Yanran's words made Yao Wan shake his head.
"Okay, I promise you - if you can really win Xiao Yan."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Three months have passed since Xiao Yan and Yun Zhi found Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
For three months, Xiao Yan spent every day refining animal spirits, and had long been accustomed to the feeling of the surging animal nature sweeping over him.
Whenever he refines the beast spirit to the limit, he will return to the cave, make some adjustments next to Yun Zhi, and then after quickly adjusting his condition, go out to refine the beast spirit again.
This gradually formed a tacit understanding between Xiao Yan and Yun Zhi that only the two of them would know.
Yun Zhi was recovering from his injuries silently, just silently helping Xiao Yan with some necessary help.
She thought so. After all, there was nothing else she could do for him.
More than three months of getting along day and night gave the two of them a different kind of charm.
Yun Zhi can't help but wonder, is this considered to some extent a mutual support and living hand in hand?
Xiao Yan also didn't seem to react, and always came back with a sleepy face after leaving in a hurry.
Although this is also a huge test for him, refining the beast spirit itself is also a way of training for Soul Power. After every refining that almost challenges the limit, his Soul Power and soul control have grown incredibly fast.
So even though Xiao Yan's cultivation has almost stagnated in the past three months, the changes that have happened to him have been unprecedented.
After all, if Xiao Yan hadn't been so eager to get Heavenly Flames, Yun Zhi wouldn't have been able to really confirm that Xiao Yan was actually an alchemist.
Although she has not seen Xiao Yan refining medicine during this period of time, she thinks that whether she can get Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire or not this time, Xiao Yan will benefit a lot.
"... Those low-level beast spirits probably have no influence on me anymore, and I can feel that there seems to be a vague connection between myself and Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire. It seems that this method is really effective."
Xiao Yan's tone contained a hint of joy.
He wanted to appear as plain as possible, but the joy in his eyebrows still revealed Xiao Yan's true thoughts.
"So, tomorrow, I will directly try to refine the Amethyst Winged Lion King beast spirit. If I succeed, Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire will be only one step away."
"You already have this confidence?"
Yun Zhi raised his head with a surprised tone.
She knew what kind of genius Yao Yan was, but even so, it only took three months to get to this point——
