The Sovereign Has an Illness?

The night was bright, the lanterns blazing, as pure moonlight poured down.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman stood gracefully in the pavilion. The breeze stirred, outlining the girl's exquisite figure; her chest rose and fell faintly. Nalan Yanran gazed up at the sky, a hint of delight still lingering on her stunning face.

"Yanran, it's time to go back and rest." At some point, Xiao Huo had appeared behind Nalan Yanran. His arms wrapped around the girl's slender waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace as he breathed in her faint fragrance.

"Brother Xiao Huo..."

Nalan Yanran spoke softly. She did not resist Xiao Huo's embrace in the slightest. A blush colored her pretty face, while her beautiful eyes held a trace of reluctance. She gently turned around and wrapped her jade-like arms around Xiao Huo's neck.

"Hm?" Xiao Huo smiled. The girl before him was truly beautiful. Xiao Yan could not give such a lovely girl happiness, so in this life, Xiao Huo would protect Nalan Yanran for the rest of her days.

"Time passes so quickly."

"I'm going back to the Misty Cloud Sect tomorrow. Brother Xiao Huo, is there anything you want to say to me?" Nalan Yanran blinked her beautiful eyes, her sweet voice drifting over. Before the young man in front of her, all her usual pride and delicacy had vanished.

"Yanran..." Xiao Huo stroked Nalan Yanran's pretty face, then directly kissed the girl's red lips. Their lips met, and their bodies seemed to melt. Beneath the lovely night sky, the two held each other tightly.

After a long while, Xiao Huo finally released Nalan Yanran's lips. The girl's face was bright red, and her delicate body seemed to tremble. She hurriedly lowered her head, bashful yet quietly delighted inside.

"Wait for me for three years."

"In three years, I'll come and marry you."

Xiao Huo spoke seriously. Though he had the system, improving his strength would not be so easy. Besides, there was Xiao Yan, who bore the halo of destiny. If he wanted to protect Nalan Yanran well, he had to become stronger.

"Okay!"

"I'll wait for you."

"Three years from now, remember to come find me..." Nalan Yanran smiled softly, as though the whole world had melted around her. She was already incomparably beautiful, and now she looked even more stunning. A trace of anticipation filled her heart.

By then...

When Brother Xiao Huo came to find her, how strong would he be?

"These three Pipi Experience Pills and ten Pipi Healing Pills—keep them safe." Xiao Huo looked deeply into Nalan Yanran's eyes as he placed the pills in her hand. "No one in this world can compare to my pills."

"Gu He is a sixth-grade Alchemist, but... even he is worlds apart from me! Just how outstanding your man is—you'll find out in the future." Xiao Huo spoke softly as he looked at the girl in his arms.

"I know." Warmth filled Nalan Yanran's heart. Of course she knew... every pill Brother Xiao Huo had given her was worth an astronomical sum!

"Being so good to me, Brother Xiao Huo, could it be that you want to..." Nalan Yanran smiled. Naturally, she had noticed that when the young man held her just now, he had reacted down there... and it seemed rather substantial.

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Xiao Huo laughed.

"Then I'll go back to my room." Nalan Yanran let out a light laugh and took a few graceful steps away. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Huo decisively swept the girl into his arms and ran toward the room. He could not let his little brother suffer, after all.

Inside the room...

Xiao Huo shut the door and blew out the lamp. The surroundings fell silent and dim, leaving only Nalan Yanran's flushed face visible.

Smack.

Xiao Huo carried Nalan Yanran onto the bed and domineeringly kissed her red lips.

Xiao Huo's breathing grew heavy as he pressed Nalan Yanran's delicate body beneath him. Though their clothes still separated them, he already felt the blood throughout his body boiling as he continued kissing the girl beneath him...

Finally, Unable to hold back any longer, Xiao Huo lightly patted Nalan Yanran's pert rear, wanting to strip away every last layer of her defenses. He was not Xiao Yan—having transmigrated here only to pretend to be pure and innocent. With such a beauty by his side, how could he possibly restrain himself?

Besides, Nalan Yanran was now his fiancée!

In every sense of the word...

"Brother Xiao Huo..." Nalan Yanran's cheeks were crimson. She shrank her pretty face beneath the blanket, burying her head entirely in Xiao Huo's embrace. Her face burned as she panicked, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, carrying a hint of grievance and pleading.

At this moment...

Nalan Yanran's springtime beauty was briefly exposed, revealing her fair, fragrant shoulders. One could even faintly see the slight rise of the girl's soft curves. It seemed that if things went any further, every line of defense she had would be breached.

"Don't..." Nalan Yanran said softly, tears glimmering in her eyes. Even though she was already Xiao Huo's fiancée, she was still afraid, her delicate body trembling faintly. Her voice made Xiao Huo stop before taking the next step.

"I'm sorry..."

Seeing Xiao Huo's expression, Nalan Yanran spoke quietly.

"Three years from now..."

"When Brother Xiao Huo comes to marry me, Yanran will give herself to you then... okay?"

Nalan Yanran seemed terribly afraid. Her voice was extremely low, as though she feared making Xiao Huo unhappy. What if he no longer wanted her?

Hearing this, Xiao Huo smiled.

He really... had been too impulsive.

Nalan Yanran was also a very reserved girl. He had moved far too quickly—he had only just met the girl, and already wanted to push her onto the bed?

"Alright."

"It's okay. In this life, you can only ever be my woman." Xiao Huo smiled as he helped Nalan Yanran straighten her clothes. In the end, he stopped himself from going any further. He might not be a good man, but he was not the sort to sleep with anyone he saw.

How would sleeping with anyone he saw make him any different from Xiao Yan after taking an aphrodisiac?

Back then, Xiao Yan must have had feelings for Medusa, which was why he had charged ahead without restraint. And he still pretended to be innocent?

At the very least...

Xiao Huo would wait until the day Nalan Yanran willingly gave herself to him before truly accepting her. Only by conquering her bit by bit and completely possessing her would he feel true satisfaction.

Nalan Yanran nodded gently, and the unease in her heart finally faded away completely.

In this life, marrying a young man like him made her feel safe.

"Fool." Xiao Huo stroked Nalan Yanran's silky hair and said softly, "Tonight, I want to hold you while we sleep. I won't do anything."

"Mhm." Nalan Yanran replied softly and nodded. She obediently nestled in Xiao Huo's arms and quietly fell asleep. Thinking of how she would become his bride in three years, she could not help feeling a little anticipation.

This feeling was so blissful.

"Ding ding—"

"Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission of forcefully kissing Nalan Yanran and successfully achieving the hidden mission: restrain your urges and do not sleep with Nalan Yanran. Who would have thought you were this kind of person? Could it be that I have some sort of ailment?"

"Experience Points awarded! Current Experience Points."

"The Shop has introduced a new medicine: Professional Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction, 120 Prestige Points." The system's giggling laughter rang out.

"Get lost!"

"Don't disturb me while I sleep with Nalan Yanran," Xiao Huo said hurriedly.
