Misty Cloud Sect's Visitors

"Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er has a gift for you."

Inside the Jia Nan Academy, Gu Xun Er gracefully approached, took out an exquisite brocade box from her bosom, and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan curiously took it, opened it, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique, Emperor Seal Art"

This incredibly precious Dou Technique is practically unique on the Dou Qi Continent. I never expected Gu Xun Er to just casually take it out and give it to him.

"Xun'er, this gift is too precious for me to accept."

Gu Xun Er said, "Brother Xiao Yan, this is a secret Dou Technique of my clan, which is usually not passed on to others. However, Brother Xiao Yan is an exception, because in Xun'er's heart, Brother Xiao Yan is more important than this scroll."

Ever since Ye Qianqian appeared, she has completely disrupted Xiao Yan and Gu Xun Er's life, making Gu Xun Er feel a sense of crisis. That's why she plans to take out the first half of the Emperor Seal Art in order to win back Xiao Yan's heart.

"Xun'er, you are so kind, I really don't know how to thank you." Xiao Yan was deeply moved. He stroked Gu Xun Er 'Gu Xun Er hair, hugged her tightly, and his feelings for the girl in front of him became even stronger.

The greatest burden is the kindness of a beautiful woman. Now that he has obtained this treasure, Xiao Yan naturally dares not be fickle or change his affections. He cherishes this feeling wholeheartedly.

"Brother Xiao Yan, if you want to thank Xun'er, then accompany Xun'er for a walk later."

"Okay, I promise you," Xiao Yan said affectionately, gently pinching Gu Xun Er's little nose.

Gu Xun Er was overjoyed. She had brought out her family's secret Dou Technique. With her status as the young lady of Ancient Families, what could that little brat named Arale possibly use to fight her?

However, Gu Xun Er underestimated Ye Qianqian's abilities. Just then, Ye Qianqian hurriedly ran into Xiao Yan's room, carrying something that looked like a kettle, which startled Xiao Yan so much that he immediately let go of Gu Xun Er.

"Arale, what are you doing here?" Gu Xun Er was furious. She was in the middle of a sweet moment with Xiao Yan when this little brat suddenly barged in. How could she be so infuriating?

Seeing Xiao Yan's embarrassed expression, Ye Qianqian immediately knew what the two of them had been doing in the room.

However, for the sake of the plan, she still had to put on an act.

Ye Qianqian, holding a Fire Gathering Pot, excitedly approached Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, Arale has a gift for you. I'm sure you'll like it!"

Xiao Yan "..."

Gu Xun Er said unhappily, "Little sister Arale, I wonder what kind of 'precious' gift you can give to Brother Xiao Yan?"

Gu Xun Er emphasized the word "precious," clearly looking down on Ye Qianqian. Even though this little brat was Su Qian's last disciple, she couldn't possibly be wealthier than Gu Xun'er, the eldest daughter of the Ancient Clan.

Ye Qianqian said, "Brother Xiao Yan, look, Arale almost risked her life to get this gift for you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately took the fire pot, opened it, and took a look.

"Hiss!"

In an instant, Xiao Yan's heart pounded wildly, and he was thrown into complete disarray. There was actually a Heavenly Flames inside this pot, and this Heavenly Flames was none other than the Fallen Heart Flame that he had longed for all this time!

At the same time, Old Yao, who was inside Xiao Yan's ring, was also utterly shocked by this scene.

For alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent, Heavenly Flames are an absolute and irresistible temptation!

Unexpectedly, this little girl named Arale casually presented a great gift, which, in terms of its importance to Xiao Yan, completely surpassed Gu Xun Er's Emperor Seal Art.

Ye Qianqian coaxed, "Brother Xiao Yan, Arale knows you're an alchemist, so I'm willing to risk my life to get this Heavenly Flames for you."

Hearing how Ye Qianqian recounted the dangers of obtaining the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan was greatly shocked. What did he Xiao Yan, do to deserve such a girl willing to risk her life to obtain the Heavenly Flames for him?

Gu Xun Er's face darkened. That damned little brat had once again stolen her thunder.

"Arale, I... I can't accept this gift."

Xiao Yan said one thing but meant another, greedily gazing at the Fallen Heart Flame seedling in his hand, truly unwilling to give it up, because the Flame Mantra he cultivated required him to devour Heavenly Flames step by step in order to complete its evolution.

But if he accepts this Heavenly Flames, what will happen to Xun'er? On one hand, there's a treasure that can enhance his strength; on the other, there's an emotional dilemma. He's so conflicted.

Ye Qianqian saw through Xiao Yan's thoughts and said, "No, Brother Xiao Yan, nothing in the world is more important to Arale than you. If you think this thing is useless, then Arale will destroy it!" She snatched back the fire pot and walked towards the door, shouting, "You stinky thing, Brother Xiao Yan doesn't like you, Arale will destroy you today!"

"No, stop right now!"

Xiao Yan was completely dumbfounded and immediately stopped Ye Qianqian.

After much deliberation, he still couldn't bear to give up this incredible opportunity. Only with strength could he establish himself in this world.

"Great! I knew Brother Xiao Yan would love Arale's gift!" Ye Qianqian excitedly made a surprising move, hugging Xiao Yan tightly.

The soft, fragrant embrace of her captivated Xiao Yan, leaving him unable to escape her gentle embrace.

Gu Xun Er was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. Even with the family's Dou Technique, she couldn't defeat this little hussy. She deserved to die!

"Little girl, let me go!" Xiao Yan noticed the resentful look in Gu Xun Er's eyes and quickly broke free from Ye Qianqian's grasp, saying, "I'll accept this gift, but I can't just take it for nothing. Tell me, what do you want? Brother Xiao Yan will definitely get it for you."

"Arale doesn't want anything, she just wants Brother Xiao Yan to go out and play with her for a day."

Ye Qianqian's plan is now halfway complete. Once she gets Xiao Yan on her side, she'll have accomplished her mission. Of course, she can't let this opportunity slip by.

"But..." Xiao Yan hesitated, because he had just promised Gu Xun Er that he would spend the day with her, and now this girl had made such a request. What should he do?

Sometimes, having too many beautiful women isn't a good thing; it can be quite troublesome!

"There are no 'buts'," Ye Qianqian grabbed Xiao Yan's hand and dragged him outside. "Come on, Brother Xiao Yan, let's go out and play!"

The two figures quickly left the dormitory building. How could Gu Xun Er let Ye Qianqian have her way? She kept calling out to Xiao Yan from behind, but a group of students immediately stood outside the dormitory building, blocking Gu Xun Er's way.

"Are you Xun'er? I heard you can help us with the application process for joining the Dawn Organization. Here is my resume, please take a look."

Many students, chattering amongst themselves, pulled out slips of paper and stuffed them into Gu Xun Er's arms without a word, leaving Gu Xun Er completely bewildered.

"Who are you people?" Gu Xun Er was furious. She threw the paper in her hand on the ground and tried to catch up with Xiao Yan, but was blocked by a group of students.

A student took out a small advertisement and handed it to Gu Xun Er. Gu Xun Er picked it up and took a look, and immediately felt terrible.

Document processing: Dawn Organization, Red Sand Scorpion, Gu Xun Er, Dormitory Building 603.

Gu Xun Er's face darkened, and she roared, "Who did this?"

The so-called rendezvous was nothing more than eating, drinking, playing around, and having fun. Ye Qianqian used all her charms, occasionally even using the power of the Mero Mero no Mi, to seduce Xiao Yan completely.

Their relationship quickly heated up, and they were almost at the point of falling in love.

For the first time, Xiao Yan experienced this unprecedented feeling of happiness and secretly resolved that he, Xiao Yan, must not let this girl down.

Jia Nan City, located outside the Jia Nan Academy, is a very prosperous city, a place that integrates commerce, education, and entertainment.

Holding Xiao Yan's large hand, Ye Qianqian skipped and hopped along the way, appearing very lively and adorable.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I want to eat cotton candy!"

Okay, I'll buy it for you.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I want to eat grilled fish!"

Okay, I'll buy it for you.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I want to eat..."

Ye Qianqian, this big eater, didn't have any money for Xiao Yan to pay for. On the bustling food street, she ate almost the entire way, which shocked Xiao Yan. He kept staring at her flat stomach, but he never saw her eat until she was full.

"Arale, how about we go check out the amusement park up ahead?" Xiao Yan put his hands on his eyebrows, forming a telescope shape, showing interest in the newly built amusement park ahead.

"Okay, wherever Brother Xiao Yan goes, Arale will go too. Arale will follow you for life!" Ye Qianqian grabbed Xiao Yan's broad hand, rested her head on his shoulder, and rubbed against him affectionately.

"This little girl is truly captivating!" Xiao Yan took a deep breath, mesmerized by Ye Qianqian's perfect aura.

The newly built amusement park is indeed bustling with activity, featuring not only thousands of food stalls but also a wide variety of entertainment options.

"Come on, come on, let's shoot arrows! One silver coin for ten arrows. Let's see if you're a true archer who hits the bullseye every time!" A bow and arrow stall owner, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, kept calling out to passing tourists.

"Magical Beast ride! One silver coin for one Magical Beast. The Magical Beast takes your child across the battlefield." Similar to a bumper car game, in a circle, many children ride tamed first-tier Magical Beast pigs, wearing wooden helmets and holding paper swords, happily fighting inside.

"Strength Challenge! Strength Challenge!" A chubby, fat shopkeeper, holding a sign in his hand, kept calling out to the passing tourists, "Young men and women, you know nothing about strength. Today, whoever can knock down all these stone tablets in front of me will receive one hundred Gold Coin!"

The portly shopkeeper's words made many tourists eager to try it out.

There are twenty stone tablets in total. The first one weighs 100 jin, the second one weighs 200 jin, and so on. By the twentieth one, the stone tablet weighs a full 2,000 jin.

"Boss, let me give it a try," a burly man said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"One Gold Coin pushes once"

The burly man spat into his palm, rubbed his hands together, and with a flick of his wrist, easily pushed over the first stone tablet.

"Good!" The onlookers cheered in unison.

The burly man pressed on and pushed the second stone tablet, which weighed two hundred pounds. It also fell over. Then came the third and fourth tablets, but the burly man began to run out of strength. He finally stopped at the sixth tablet, obediently handed over a Gold Coin, and left.

This is a trick of the fat boss. If the fat boss were to push the burly man directly with a 2,000-pound stone tablet, the burly man would definitely be able to do it very easily. But by stacking one or two tablets at a time, the burly man's strength would be constantly depleted, and naturally, he would be unable to push it anymore.

Moreover, everyone has to pay a Gold Coin to participate in the stone-pushing game, which is a deceptive way to lure people in and make the fat boss a fortune. He loves to trick these brainless musclemen. There are plenty of people who can actually push down all these stone tablets, but they are either Nine-Star Dou Zhe or Dou Shi, and they are very arrogant. They would never come to this amusement park.

"I'll give it a try."

At this moment, Ye Qianqian took Xiao Yan's arm and walked up to the fat shopkeeper.

"Young lady, this is a game only men should play. You're just a little girl, you shouldn't participate. If something dangerous happens and you get hurt, it'll be hard to explain," the fat boss said outright.

"It's alright, my Brother Xiao Yan is incredibly powerful. Even if I'm in great danger, he'll save me immediately," Ye Qianqian said, tilting her snow-white chin up to show off to everyone. Then she asked Xiao Yan, "It's Brother Xiao Yan, isn't it?"

Xiao Yan chuckled silently. This girl was far stronger than him; she didn't need him to save her. However, he felt a surge of joy at Ye Qianqian's words and secretly vowed to protect her in the future.

Ye Qianqian arrived at the first stone tablet, extended a slender, jade-like finger, and gently flicked it. With a loud bang, the stone tablet crashed to the ground. At the same time, she didn't stop, quickly pointing at the other stone tablets.

Boom boom boom boom...

In just a moment, all twenty heavy stone tablets were easily pushed over, leaving the fat boss dumbfounded.

"One hundred Gold Coin, thank you."

"Yes, yes, sir, here are your one hundred Gold Coin, please accept them."

The fat boss was so frightened that he hurriedly handed over the bonus, feeling like he was about to cry. What was such a powerful person like you doing at the amusement park?!

"Brother Xiao Yan, Arale just spent a lot of your money, so I'm returning all of this to you," Ye Qianqian said, handing the bag of Gold Coin to Xiao Yan.

"You little rascal, do you think I'm the kind of stingy person who wouldn't spend money on you snacks?" Xiao Yan flicked Ye Qianqian's forehead in annoyance.

The two spent the day playing, and then Ye Qianqian suggested that they spend the night in the mountains to watch the sunset and sunrise together.

At times, Ye Qianqian would also act gentle and sweet, snuggling close to Xiao Yan in his arms.

"Arale, why do you like me?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked, holding Ye Qianqian in his arms.

Within the Jia Nan Academy, there are many outstanding young talents even more remarkable than him, such as Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and Lin Yan, all of whom are stronger than him. So why would this girl choose him?

Ye Qianqian blinked her two small, fan-like eyelashes slightly and praised, "Because... Brother Xiao Yan, you are handsome, dashing, learned, elegant, imposing, highly talented, tall and mighty, charming and unrestrained, with extraordinary potential... You are the male god in Arale's heart, an existence that nothing can compare to."

"Arale!" Xiao Yan was so flattered by Ye Qianqian that he felt like he was floating on air. He shamelessly thought to himself, "I never thought I was such a person in this girl's heart. He... he... he's probably just that kind of person!"

Arale

"Um, Brother Xiao Yan, is there something you need?"

"Can I... can I kiss you?" Looking at the alluring lips of the girl in his arms, Xiao Yan felt a surge of desire and wanted to take them all.

"Ahem, I haven't brushed my teeth, so let's just forget about it?" Ye Qianqian shuddered. She was deceiving his feelings, but she never intended to sell her body. As for the kiss, let's just forget about it!

"It's okay, I don't mind," Xiao Yan said domineeringly, grabbing Ye Qianqian's head by the back and about to kiss her.

This action startled Ye Qianqian, leaving her completely flustered. Damn it, you may not mind, but I do!

What should we do?

Or I should just punch him unconscious!

Ye Qianqian was racking her brains for a solution when Xiao Yan grabbed the back of her head and kissed her alluring lips.

"Hmm..."

Ye Qianqian was caught off guard by the sudden kiss, her mind went blank. She tried to break free, but was lost in the passionate kiss.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Dragon God's Blood within her and the Dragon Transformation Divine Art, her initial resistance turned into enthusiastic acceptance.

As the sun rose, the two embraced tightly on a high mountain, their passion intertwined; everything was so beautiful.

"Arale, I like you." Xiao Yan lost his mind even more and instantly pounced on Ye Qianqian, pinning her down.

"Don't want..."

Just then, Ye Qianqian noticed that Xiao Yan had become fanatical, and she hurriedly stopped Xiao Yan.

"What's wrong with me? I actually wanted to do something naughty with Xiao Yan just now!" Ye Qianqian was covered in sweat and hurriedly put on her outer clothes, holding her forehead with one hand.

She was clearly just using Xiao Yan, but she almost took it all for real, becoming obsessed with the pleasures of love and shamelessly cooperating with him.

"Arale, I... I don't know what happened to me, I'm sorry," Xiao Yan said, looking dejected as he realized he had just lost his composure.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you did nothing wrong," Ye Qianqian regained her senses and threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms again, rubbing her head against his chest. "If Brother Xiao Yan wants her, Arale is always available."

"You silly girl, I, Xiao Yan, will marry you rightfully in the future, and I will never do anything to betray you," Xiao Yan said, holding Ye Qianqian tightly as if she were his precious daughter.

Ye Qianqian, nestled in his arms, fell into deep thought. Had she really fallen in love with Xiao Yan? Why did she always feel so warm and wonderful whenever she nestled in his arms?

The two embraced in the mountains, quietly watching the sun rise. Its magnificent rays shone upon the earth, nourishing all living things. In this scene, Ye Qianqian would sometimes drift into daydreams, imagining what life would be like if she married Xiao Yan and stayed home to be a wife and mother.

The two remained silent for a long time, sitting there as if wishing time could stand still, their feelings a complex mix of emotions.

It wasn't until dusk that the two returned to the Jia Nan Academy hand in hand, only to see Hu Jia running over breathlessly from not far away, glaring at Ye Qianqian and Xiao Yan with annoyance.

"So you're here! We've been looking for you everywhere. Hurry up and come back to the Inner Academy with me. People from the Northwest Misty Cloud Sect have suddenly arrived, and they specifically asked for Arale."

"Looking for Arale?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.

Why did the Misty Cloud Sect suddenly arrive at the Jia Nan Academy, and why are they looking for Arale?

Ye Qianqian's lips curled slightly; the plan was progressing very smoothly!
