Xiao Yu

Little Poison Girl, Little Poison Girl... If I'd known, I should have kept you by my side. Who would have thought that in the end, I wouldn't even know where I'd thrown you away?!

After returning to Jia Nan Academy, he burrowed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

After getting up, Xiao Tian went to find Xiao Yu.

"Why did you drag me out so early in the morning? I still need to cultivate." Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Tian with obvious displeasure.

Xiao Tian said, "Of course I brought you out to help you enter the Inner Academy. Your young master has to take care of you."

"No, I want to rely on my own strength. I don't need you—"

"Shut up. If I tell you to come with me, then come with me." Xiao Tian cut her off, speaking domineeringly. Without waiting for any more nonsense from her, he directly grabbed her hand and headed toward Hu Gan's room.

After knocking on the door, a voice came from inside. "Come in." Xiao Tian pulled Xiao Yu inside and said to Hu Gan, "Old man, I need you to handle something for me."

Hu Gan said, "Xiao Tian, go ahead. What is it? As long as it's within my power, I can help you." After all, a favor from a sixth-tier Alchemist carried considerable weight for Hu Gan.

"Arrange for Xiao Yu to enter the Inner Academy. In exchange, prepare the materials for an Emperor Pill, and I can refine it for you. I don't like wasting words. Agree or refuse."

"Alright, alright, alright. This old man agrees!" Hu Gan hurriedly replied. Never mind whether Xiao Tian would refine pills for him—just having a sixth-tier Alchemist around meant that even someone with trash talent could be cultivated. Besides, if he refused a sixth-tier Alchemist, wouldn't he just be asking for trouble?

"Very good. I'm satisfied with your attitude." As he spoke, Xiao Tian tossed several pills to Hu Gan. "Give these to your granddaughter, Hu Jia. They're just right for her. Prepare the materials yourself and come find me." With that, Xiao Tian pulled Xiao Yu outside.

Once they were out the door, Xiao Tian wrapped an arm around Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu had already grown accustomed to this overbearing little hooligan, so after reacting for a moment, she obediently let him hold her.

"Did you do something to offend Instructor Ruo Lin? I've never seen her so angry before." Though she had been won over by him, she still asked about her instructor. After all, she had learned nothing that day and had even gotten herself involved. Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Tian as she spoke.

Hearing that, Xiao Tian became awkward. He had finally won over an obedient girl—if she found out, wouldn't he be right back where he started? No, no. Xiao Tian shook his head. How could something like that be allowed to happen?

Seeing Xiao Tian shaking his head and fidgeting, Xiao Yu pinched him. "Tell me. What exactly did you do?!"

"Hiss—don't pinch, don't pinch! It hurts, it hurts! I'll tell you, but you can't get angry." Xiao Tian rubbed his long-suffering waist.

"You didn't get handsy with Instructor Ruo Lin, did you?" Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.

Heh heh, awkward, girl. After thinking it over, Xiao Tian still told Xiao Yu the whole story. After all, once one lie was told, who knew how many more lies would be needed to cover it up? He couldn't treat his own woman the way he treated others.

After hearing everything, Xiao Yu reached out and gave Xiao Tian's waist another intimate round of attention. "Little hooligan, how did I never realize you were this kind of person back when we were in the Xiao Family?"

Obviously. I hadn't even transmigrated yet. Who knew what the original Xiao Tian was supposed to be? I don't even know whether he survived until the end. It'd be strange if you noticed anything!

"Come apologize to my instructor with me, or I'll ignore you," Xiao Yu huffed.

"Alright, alright, alright. Let's go apologize right now. But I don't know whether Instructor Ruo Lin will forgive me. You've seen it these past few days—she either avoids me or ignores me outright." Xiao Tian was somewhat helpless. He had considered apologizing before, after all. He had gone a bit too far that day.

"I'll take you there. I'll help persuade Instructor Ruo Lin. But if you dare bully her again in the future, I'll... I'll really ignore you!" Xiao Yu said.

"Alright, let's go."

The two arrived at Ruo Lin's residence. Xiao Yu went in first and chatted with Ruo Lin for a while. After some time, Xiao Yu came out and pulled Xiao Tian inside.

"Ahem, Instructor Ruo Lin, I promise I won't bully you again in the future. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me." Xiao Tian spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Alright, I understand. But you're not allowed to treat me like that again in the future." Ruo Lin was as gentle as ever. "Alright, alright, I understand. Don't worry, I definitely won't force you again." He spoke with a serious expression.

Ruo Lin said, "Let's consider this matter settled. I want to ask whether you have any news of Xiao Yan. The academy competition is about to begin. If he can't make it back, his qualification will be revoked!"

When Ruo Lin mentioned Xiao Yan, Xiao Tian thought of what had happened to the Xiao Family and told them everything. When Xiao Yu asked, Xiao Tian also told her that the other party had been from the Soul Clan. They had only taken away the clan leader; there had not been any serious casualties otherwise.

"Your grandfather is fine too, so don't worry. Xiao Yan probably took them to Shimo City. With Xiao Ding and the others there, nothing will happen." Seeing how worried Xiao Yu was about her grandfather, Xiao Tian spoke gently.

"Mm, I understand." Then she turned to Ruo Lin. "Instructor, I can directly advance to the Inner Academy now, so you don't need to worry about me anymore. Hehe." She smiled at Ruo Lin.

After thinking it over, Ruo Lin understood why. She had always liked Xiao Yu as a student and had worried that Xiao Yu would not receive proper training. Now, she could finally put her mind at ease.

After staying with Ruo Lin for a while, Xiao Tian gave her a set of Earth-tier Water Style Cultivation Method and Dou Techniques before they left. As for where they came from, naturally, they had been bought at an auction in Black Seal City.

Seeing Ruo Lin constantly refusing them, Xiao Yu said, "Instructor Ruo Lin, just accept them. It's not like they came from a stranger. I'm cultivating this set of methods too, and it's perfect for us. You should cultivate it too~" She held Ruo Lin's hands and acted cute.

In the end, after Xiao Yu's relentless persuasion, Ruo Lin finally accepted them. Once the two left, Xiao Tian pulled Xiao Yu into his arms and gave her little mouth a fierce kissing.

"Mm~ What are you doing? Let's go back—mm!" Xiao Yu pushed Xiao Tian away. "Little hooligan, if you do this outside again, I really will get angry!" Her little face was flushed red as she spoke to him.

Xiao Tian said, "I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it. Don't be angry, baby. I was wrong. I won't dare do it again."

"Xiao Tian, you're already a Dou Emperor. Why did you still come to Jia Nan Academy? With your current strength, you could be an instructor yourself, right?" Xiao Yu asked.

Xiao Tian said, "I came to Jia Nan for the Falling Heart Flame. Otherwise, there's really nothing here that interests me."

"What did you say? The Falling Heart Flame beneath Jia Nan Academy's Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower?! If you try to seize the Falling Heart Flame, won't you offend Jia Nan Academy?" Xiao Yu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. Maybe they'll even beg me to subdue the Falling Heart Flame." After all, in the original story, the Falling Heart Flame beneath the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower had erupted, giving Xiao Yan the chance to refine it. The protagonist's plot armor really was something else! He only needed to wait for Xiao Yan.

This time, however, Jia Nan Academy would not be able to keep the Falling Heart Flame as they had in the original story. Heh heh, Old Man Tian Huo's Falling Heart Flame could go to Xiao Yan. As for that sentient one, of course Xiao Tian would devour it himself.

After strolling around with Xiao Yu for a while, he pulled her toward his residence. Though the process was a little forceful, Xiao Yu only resisted symbolically before yielding to him.

Nothing was said that night~

I want to travel through countless worlds. I wonder what ideas you great readers might have.
