Who Turned My Little Maid into This?
When Xiao Yuan returned to Dragon Island, he was surprised and taken aback by the almost completely transformed island. On the vast island, Wan Ren peaks rose from the ground, and amidst the swirling clouds and mist, occasionally a colossal Ancient Void Dragon would fly by, its deep roar echoing across the Dragon Island.
Today's Dragon Island is formed by the union of Four Great Dragon Islands. Not only is it vast in area, but the number of its people is also the largest that has gathered together in thousands of years. After all, in the past, the people were scattered across the four islands, and it was extremely rare for them to all appear in one place.
Xiao Yuan hovered in the air, casually sweeping his soul power across the area. He then nodded. In his perception, although the number of powerful individuals on Dragon Island was not as strong as that of the Ancient Eight Clans, it was clearly much stronger than some other forces.
"As expected of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, even though they are no longer at their peak, they are still not to be underestimated. It seems that what people say about the Ancient Dragon Clan being able to contend with Ancient Race like the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan when they were at their peak is not an exaggeration." Xiao Yuan nodded in admiration. Among the Four Great Dragon Islands, there were already many powerful figures. Although they had experienced a great upheaval and suffered some losses, thanks to Xiao Yuan's help, the losses of the Dragon Island had been minimized as much as possible. Now that the Four Great Dragon Islands have been integrated, all these powerful figures have joined Zi Yan, so the lineup is naturally not weak.
With this lineup alone, the title of the number one race in the Beast Realm, the Ancient Void Dragon, is probably still unchallenged. Even the current Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would find it somewhat difficult. Xiao Yuan was naturally extremely pleased that the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe could retain such power. Judging from his relationship with Zi Yan, the relationship between the Heavenly Mansion Alliance and the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe was quite solid. With this kind of covert assistance, the Heavenly Mansion Alliance's position in the Central State could become as solid as a rock! Above Dragon Island, the defenses were much stricter than before. Squads of Ancient Dragon Guards with flapping dragon wings patrolled across the sky. Xiao Yuan, who was hovering in the sky and marveling at the changes on Dragon Island, was also noticed by them. Immediately, more than a dozen figures rushed towards him. However, when they discovered the identity of the person who came, the vigilance on their faces immediately turned into respect. After bowing to Xiao Yuan from a distance, they dispersed.
This scene made Xiao Yuan smile. Then, he moved and rushed into Dragon Island. With a few flashes, he appeared in a quiet courtyard.
"Xiao Yuan."
The sudden appearance of the figure startled Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian in the courtyard. They quickly recovered and said with a hint of surprise.
Qing Lian also came out of the room, looking at her young master with a joyful expression.
"I just came back to take a look, and I didn't expect Dragon Island to have changed so much. You, the Dragon Emperor, have really done a great job!"
Xiao Yuan looked at Zi Yan and said with a smile.
"Tch, you think I'm that good! But if you don't come back soon, we'll have to send people to the Void Thunder Pool to look for you."
Zi Yan pursed her lips. In front of Xiao Yuan, she showed no trace of the Dragon Emperor's majesty. Her tone of voice was exactly the same as when she was by Xiao Yuan's side.
"Your strength has improved again?"
Xiao Yi Xian, who was standing nearby, had a keen sense of things. When she saw Xiao Yuan, she noticed that he had changed, and she was quite surprised.
"Yes, I've advanced to the Three Star Dou Sheng level. I had a wonderful experience in that Void Thunder Pool."
Xiao Yuan smiled but didn't elaborate. Deep within the Void Thunder Pool lay countless Black Demon Lightning, which even ordinary four-star or Five Star Dou Sheng couldn't easily pass through. He didn't want the news to spread and cause some Dragon Clan to encounter any misfortune there. Moreover, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was also there. Although its strength had greatly decreased, with its strange abilities, it was only a matter of time before it recovered its power.
Even if Zi Yan were to encounter Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, who possesses intelligence and whose strength reaches the level of Seven Star Dou Sheng, she would only be able to flee.
Seeing Xiao Yuan nod in confirmation, Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan could only shake their heads with wry smiles. In just a few short months, Xiao Yuan had gone directly from One Star Dou Sheng to Three Star Dou Sheng. This speed was truly terrifying.
Xiao Yuan understood what the two were thinking, but his cultivation speed had always been fast, so the two were probably used to it. However, it was indeed somewhat heaven-defying that Dou Sheng level cultivator could maintain such a fast cultivation speed.
"Now that the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe is on the right track, there's probably nothing more for me to do. I still need to lead the team to deal with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame for Xiao Yan. Judging by the time, it should be about time, and we should head back."
Xiao Yuan turned his gaze to Zi Yan and said.
"You're returning to Central State? I'll go with you."
Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, smiled as she listened to Xiao Yuan and the others' conversation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan was slightly taken aback and said, "You're going too? Dragon Island has just experienced a major battle. If you leave at this time, it might not be appropriate."
He naturally knew that Zi Yan wanted to help him seize the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. If he could get help from a powerful expert with the strength of Four-Star Dou Sheng, the success rate would undoubtedly be much higher. But now, on East Dragon Island... "It's alright. Dragon Island is now unified, and I've almost refined the power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit within me. If I want to improve my strength further, I can only rely on your pills!"
Zi Yan winked at Xiao Yuan and said with a hopeful expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled, and then purple-gold dragon scales appeared on his arm. He plucked a dragon scale, and a vast amount of soul power surged from between his eyebrows and poured into it.
"If you want to come back with me, what if the Ancient Dragon Clan encounters any trouble? As the Dragon Emperor, you'll be criticized without my presence. These dragon scales contain my soul power, enough to deal with Six Star Dou Sheng. Only in this way can we be absolutely sure of safety."
After explaining, Xiao Yuan casually tossed the dragon scale away, and it flew directly towards Zhuo Li Elder's location.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Zi Yan didn't care about any of that; she had been on Dragon Island for so long and was getting incredibly bored!
"When do we set off?" Seeing Xiao Yuan agree, Zi Yan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and her tone was even a little impatient.
Xiao Yuan naturally knew what Zi Yan was thinking. He shook his head and smiled. With a wave of his sleeve, a Space Channel was torn open beside him. He then slowly walked into it first, followed quickly by Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lian. As for Zi Yan, she sent a message and then quickly rushed into the Space Channel.
Above the azure sky, clouds drifted lazily, and warm sunlight poured down from the horizon, filling everything with a languid atmosphere.
"Laugh!"
Suddenly, ripples spread across the silent sky, and a Space Rift slowly tore open, from which figures emerged.
"Finally, we've left that damned Dragon Island. I really don't know why those people migrated to that godforsaken place in the first place."
Emerging from the Space Rift, Zi Yan took a deep breath of fresh air, opened her arms, and a look of ecstasy appeared on her delicate face.
Watching Zi Yan, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor into a girlish young girl the moment she left Dragon Island, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged glances and could only shake their heads helplessly. It seemed that although she had become the Dragon Emperor, this girl was still the same Gu Ling little girl who loved to eat pills.
"Let's go. Although it's just a random tear in the void and there are some discrepancies, it's only a ten-minute walk from here to the Starfall Pavilion."
Xiao Yuan looked around, and after determining the location, he waved his hand and led the way, quickly flying towards the direction of the Starfall Pavilion.
Upon returning to the Star Realm, Xiao Yuan and his group appeared before Yao Lao.
After being away for a few months, he soared to the level of Three Star Dou Sheng, which truly shocked Yao Lao.
But then he came to his senses, his gaze shifted slightly, and suddenly stopped on Zi Yan next to Xiao Yuan. His expression became serious. Although he was only Mid-Stage One-Star Dou Saint, his soul power was exceptionally strong. Naturally, he could feel how terrifying Zi Yan was. However, this girl looked familiar.
"This is... Zi Yan, right? Her demeanor has changed quite a bit."
The Yao Lao had seen Zi Yan in her adult form and knew that this girl was practically the love interest of his disciple, so he wasn't too polite and just asked with a smile.
"Hello Yao Lao!"
Zi Yan greeted them with a smile.
"He is also the Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, and is currently at the strength of Four-Star Dou Sheng."
Xiao Yuan added.
"The Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe of the Primordial Void?"
Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao almost cried out in surprise.
Was that little girl from the Jia Nan Academy really someone of this level? The Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe is an extremely mysterious being in the eyes of many.
Let alone the Dragon Emperor, even ordinary Dragon Clan are legendary figures to some people, since the Ancient Void Dragon rarely appear in the Central State.
"Hehe, you're really lucky with the ladies!"
The Yao Lao was surprised, but also shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan didn't blush much. Instead, she generously took Xiao Yuan's arm and smiled at Yao Lao. She knew that Xiao Yuan regarded Yao Lao as his father, so she naturally couldn't put on those so-called Dragon Emperor's airs in front of him.
"You should go and rest first. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is about to be born. Xiao Yan's soul power has already broken through to the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, but I'm worried that his strength is still not enough."
Yao Lao was now in charge of the Starfall Pavilion and had many things to do, he didn't say much to Xiao Yuan and arranged for the group to rest first.
Before leaving, Xiao Yuan tossed a jade bottle and a Storage Ring to the Yao Lao.
Inside the jade bottle is the essence and blood of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint.
I obtained this item while learning the Yellow Springs Finger, Yellow Spring Palm, and Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath.
As for the Storage Ring, it naturally contains some Heaven Rank Battle Skill and cultivation methods.
Although Yao Lao was a Dou Zun Peak expert back then, he didn't have the opportunity to collect any Heaven Rank Battle Skill.
Now that I'm advancing to the Dou Sheng level, I naturally need some high-level Dou Technique and cultivation methods to supplement my skills.
The Yao Lao simply nodded and smiled slightly.
There's no need for further explanation between him and his two disciples, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.
Subsequently, Xiao Yuan found Xiao Yan and gave him the essence blood of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, some Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, and the freshly made Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill.
Cao Ying, who was cultivating alongside Xiao Yan, was so envious she could cry.
During this time, she didn't do anything else but cultivate with Xiao Yan and discuss alchemy, as if nothing had happened between them.
Putting aside his previous foolish actions, Xiao Yan thought Cao Ying was actually quite good.
Their talent in alchemy was indeed very high, and they gained some insights from their discussions.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help with this either, because compared to Xun'er, no matter how outstanding Cao Ying was, she could only pale in comparison.
After catching up, Xiao Yuan returned to his room, ready for a good night's sleep.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Qing Lian sleeping on his bed, covered by his quilt, like a bed warmer. When she saw him come in, she sat up, her snow-white shoulders emerging from under the quilt, and her full breasts making the Qing Lian embroidery on her bodice stand out. Her face was flushed, and she looked at Xiao Yuan with shyness in her eyes.
???
What do you mean? Are you using this to test cadres?
"Young master, the bed is warm."
Qing Lian spoke, she prepared to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly.
The little girl who used to tremble and be too shy to speak when she saw people has now grown up completely.
"You're already Half-Saint level expert, yet you still call me young master. If outsiders heard this, their jaws would probably drop to the ground."
Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly, walked to the bedside, sat down, and rubbed Qing Lian's little head.
"Young Master, you don't understand." Qing Lian gazed at Xiao Yuan tenderly, her warm breath brushing against Xiao Yuan ear, and whispered, "How exciting it is for a little maid and young master to meet in secret behind the mistress's back!"
Huh? Xiao Yuan's eyes widened.
Is this all that's on Qing Lian's little head?
What happened to this perfectly good little maid? "Hehe, young master, it's time to sleep!"
Sensing the scent from Xiao Yuan's embrace, Qing Lian's eyes began to glaze over.
Young Master, he smells so good, I really want to eat him. Seeing this, Xiao Yuan's blood and qi also became a little hot. He hugged Qing Lian and lowered his head to kiss her.
The next day.
Xiao Yuan felt refreshed and walked out of the room.
As soon as Xiao Yuan stepped outside, he saw Zi Yan sitting in the courtyard, resting her chin on her hand, looking bored and uninterested.
"You've finally come out. Give me some Rank 9 Pill so I can taste them and see if they're salty enough."
As soon as Zi Yan spoke, Xiao Yuan couldn't hold back.
Tasting Rank 9 Pill for saltiness? You've really got some nerve! "I haven't taken any of your pills in ages!"
Seeing this, Zi Yan pouted, her purple eyes fixed on Xiao Yuan, filled with longing for the elixir.
"Take it."
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly, and then threw out several bottles of Rank 8 Pill that could enhance the physical body.
This thing isn't very useful to Zi Yan.
But the taste should be pretty good.
However, if the Dou Zun expert of Central State knew this, they would probably go crazy with envy.
Eating Rank 8 Pill as snacks? That's an absolute waste!
