Before Yao Wan could flare up, Xiao Yan's voice, sounding almost as if he had fallen completely into a daze, made her freeze despite herself.
Before she could even ask what was wrong with her clothes, she saw that the clothing on her body had already vanished along with the soaring flames.
Yao Wan's pretty pale-gold eyes instantly widened. Whether it was because the heat wave rushing toward her had scalded her or something else, before she knew it, a blush had spread from the base of her neck to her earlobes.
"What are you doing?!"
Yao Wan felt as though her mind had started burning along with her body temperature. She could no longer care about anything else. A bolt of dazzling cloth like a river of stars scattered down, covering Xiao Yan's line of sight at once.
"It wasn't me!"
With no time to explain at length, Xiao Yan could only give the briefest explanation. While trying to pull the Luo River Silk off his face, he said helplessly,
"Senior Medicine Emperor—"
Even if it had only been a fleeting glimpse, it was enough for Xiao Yan to realize the seriousness of everything happening before him.
"Don't be so distant... you've already been married for so long. Could it be you'd still be shy about being honest with each other?"
"What normal person would be like you?!"
Yao Wan's voice rose slightly, almost beyond her control.
"Should I say there's been a bit of progress?... Hm? Has it already entered a bottleneck period?"
From Xiao Yan's body came the Medicine Emperor's voice, full of teasing yet carrying a touch of serious thought.
"But now that you mention it, that makes sense... after all, leaving mental age aside, her physical age is already nearly heading for forty, isn't it?"
