Pure Yin Body, Falling in Love!

The night was deep.

Nalan Yanran wiped the medicinal ointment from her body, joy written across her rosy, pretty face.

At this rate, in another ten days, I may have a chance to advance to Dou Shi! Nalan Yanran thought happily as she lay on her bed.

Her mind was filled with the black-robed man's back and the tone of his voice.

As she drifted into sleep, a happy curve lifted the corners of her lips.

Her thoughts slowly grew hazy.

In her daze, she vaguely heard several voices echoing through the room.

People?

No!

Nalan Yanran opened her eyes in terror, only to discover that she was no longer lying on her soft bed.

Her limbs were weak and limp as she lay atop an icy bluestone platform!

"Little girl, don't be afraid. The ritual will be over soon."

An aged face was reflected in Nalan Yanran's eyes, making her shudder.

"What are you trying to do?!"

There were around a dozen figures inside the cave, every one of them radiating a sinister, terrifying aura.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. Soon, you'll be reborn and gain new strength."

As the elderly figure cackled strangely, a bizarre, flickering phantom floated above Nalan Yanran and appraised her with satisfaction.

"Not bad! Such a body has great potential. It can help me be reborn!"

From the aged voice, one could vaguely tell that it belonged to an elderly woman.

"Who are you people? What do you want?!" Nalan Yanran trembled.

"Hehe."

The old woman's phantom gave a chilling smile. "Three hundred years ago, several Dou Zong besieged me to death. Fortunately, my constitution is special, allowing me to exist as a soul after death.

These years, I have been searching for a suitable body to be reborn in.

I am very satisfied with yours."

Possession?

Nalan Yanran's face turned even paler. Yun Yun had told her of this evil art.

The consciousness of those possessed would completely dissipate. In other words, they would die.

"Hag, once you are reborn, you must lead our Ghost Gate back to glory!" the leading old man said fervently.

"Of course!" Hag nodded arrogantly.

As the two spoke, a Ghost Gate Elder carried over a bowl of green liquid and forced it into Nalan Yanran's mouth.

"Don't be afraid. Soon, you'll become an unrivaled expert."

Strange laughter rang endlessly beside her ears as Nalan Yanran's consciousness gradually blurred.

Am I going to die...

She thought of the Nalan Family, the Misty Cloud Sect, and everything that had happened these past few days.

A teardrop slid from the corner of her eye.

"Boom!"

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, an explosion like a thunderclap suddenly rang out.

"One Dou Wang and three Dou Ling. Not a bad lineup."

The familiar hoarse voice sounded, and Nalan Yanran instantly woke up.

Was it him?

"Bastard!"

Hag's eyes nearly split with rage. "Qiu Yan, midnight is only three minutes away! If we miss the best time, I'll twist off your heads! Kill him, now!"

"Kill!"

The eyes of the dozen Ghost Gate members turned cold as they swarmed Xiao Yan.

Qiu Yan, their leader, spread a pair of azure Dou Qi Wings.

"A Dou Wang?"

Nalan Yanran cried out, "Run! You're no match for him! Go deeper into the mountains and find my master!"

"He can't run!"

Qiu Yan grinned viciously and flapped his Wings to the top of the cave, looking down on Xiao Yan with contempt.

"You're the only one with Wings?"

Xiao Yan smiled disdainfully. His back crackled as a pair of enormous, domineering bone wings spread open with shocking visual impact.

"What?"

The pupils of the Ghost Gate members shrank. Then, a cold glint swept across their throats.

They collapsed limply to the ground.

"The tips of the Great Desolate Bone Butterfly Wings are even sharper than I imagined."

Xiao Yan slid several meters across the ground, staring provocatively at Qiu Yan.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan was only a Dou Ling, Qiu Yan flew into a rage and slammed down with his palm.

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Yan grinned. A flowing flame like a cloud of fire wrapped around Qiu Yan.

"Aah!"

Qiu Yan screamed and struggled in midair. As the flames burned, he turned into several charred chunks and fell.

"Trying to run?"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly. With a flap of his bone wings, he darted like lightning in front of Hag.

Hag's expression changed drastically. She frantically struck out with both hands, trying to force Xiao Yan back.

"Sizzle!"

Yet the moment she touched the Fire Cloud Water Flame, white smoke rose from her palms, forcing her to draw them back in agony.

"Snap!"

Xiao Yan lightly snapped his fingers. The Fire Cloud Water Flame completely enveloped Hag and steadily contracted.

In the end.

Only a wavering miniature phantom of Hag remained, her consciousness completely erased.

"This old thing actually has a Pure Yin Body. No wonder she could possess others." Yao Lao praised enviously.

"Teacher, this is what you wanted, isn't it?"

Xiao Yan tossed Hag's miniature phantom into the ring.

"Indeed!"

Yao Lao emerged with a chuckle and used the Bone Chilling Flame to absorb the miniature Hag's energy.

The flickering Bone Chilling Flame slowly grew a little larger.

"If you leave just like this, Nalan Yanran will be eaten by magical beasts! The mountains are home to a kind of magical beast called the He Yuan, and they are especially fond of human women!"

Seeing Xiao Yan preparing to leave, Yao Lao spoke with a chuckle.

"What a hassle."

Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at Nalan Yanran. "Five hundred thousand. I'll dispel the cold poison and anesthetic in your body. Otherwise, you can spend the night with the He Yuan!"

Nalan Yanran shuddered and hurriedly manipulated her Storage Ring with her consciousness.

Her pretty face was full of grievance.

When she heard that Xiao Yan had only saved her for money, she could not help feeling upset and disappointed.

Why am I sad? Is it because he is cold toward me? Or...

"Smack!"

Xiao Yan lightly patted his palm, and the Fire Cloud Water Flame entered Nalan Yanran's back.

Nalan Yanran asked unwillingly, "Did you come here to save me?"

Xiao Yan remained expressionless and ignored her.

"Are you always this cold?" Nalan Yanran asked tentatively.

"I'm only cold to you."

Xiao Yan's indifferent words left Nalan Yanran stunned.

Then delight welled up within her.

Xiao Yan must be interested in her. Otherwise, why would he treat only her differently?

"You've regained your mobility. You can leave on your own." Xiao Yan turned away coldly.

Looking at the black-robed man's back, Nalan Yanran's flushed face resembled a newly blooming flower, shy yet brimming with life.

"He must have come specifically to save me. He's just too embarrassed to say it!"

An unprecedented light shimmered in Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes.

It felt as though countless butterflies were dancing within her heart.

"Going to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement was indeed the right choice!" Nalan Yanran gently bit her lip.

She jumped down from the stone platform.

Nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, she was about to say something.

"Oh no!"

The pendant on her chest flashed, and Nalan Yanran's pretty face changed dramatically.

"My master is in danger!"

In the river beneath a waterfall in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes floated upon the water.

Her tightly shut eyes and pale cheeks made it clear that she was seriously injured.

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Yan folded his enormous white bone wings and landed beside the woman, watching her indifferently.

"She's your master?"
