Tricking Zi Yan (2)

"So... so, after I finish eating them, can I ask you to refine them for me?"

Zi Yan looked at Xiao Tian with anticipation, gently clutching the hem of his clothes.

"Okay, you can come find me later, but you'll have to bring your own medicinal herbs."

Xiao Tian wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by; this was a human treasure-hunting machine, and also a stable source of medicinal herbs.

Xiao Tian told her where he lived.

"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll come find you then. If you need anything in the future, just tell me, I'll take care of it."

When Zi Yan heard that Xiao Tian had agreed, she smiled broadly and swayed her head slightly.

"Finally, I don't have to eat that awful food anymore."

Xiao Tian smiled knowingly at her appearance; Zi Yan looked so adorable.

"Could you help me refine these into pills?"

Zi Yan took out nearly five kinds of medicinal herbs, many of which did not look like they had just been dug up.

Xiao Tian looked at the medicinal herbs and his eyes twitched. He guessed that these herbs had been "casually" taken from the Inner Academy's Medicinal Materials Repository.

I bet one of the Elder is lamenting that Zi Yan might have run into the forest to seek refuge.

Seeing Xiao Tian's gaze, Zi Yan assumed she had taken out too much. Embarrassed, she spun around on her toes and put a finger to her lips.

After thinking for a while, he said to Xiao Tian with a pained expression.

"Hmm~ There are indeed a few too many here. If you help me refine them, I can give you one of them."

Xiao Tian didn't take Zi Yan's medicinal herbs, nor did he need any of them here. Besides, he figured he should be generous now and build up his goodwill so that she could help him find herbs later.

"I won't take your medicinal herbs; consider this a free favor."

With Zi Yan practically drooling over him, Xiao Tian refined all the medicinal herbs into pills.

"Here, this was made from your medicinal herbs. It should last you a long time. Of course, don't share it with others casually; it contains too much energy and could cause problems."

"Slurp~ I don't even have enough to eat for myself. I don't have any friends in the Inner Academy, so I eat all by myself."

Zi Yan spoke with an innocent expression, but her expression turned somewhat dejected when she mentioned the word "friends."

In the Inner Academy, they didn't consider themselves normal people; when they were children, they were even bullied by other magical beasts in the forest.

She looked up at Xiao Tian, mentally labeling him as a good person.

Xiao Tian was one of the few people in the Inner Academy who genuinely helped him.

"It's okay, I can be your friend. If you ever need more food, you can just come to me."

Xiao Tian looked gently at the pitiful Zi Yan in front of him.

Really? You really want to be friends with me?

Zi Yan took the pills Xiao Tian had made and looked at him with shining eyes.

"Really, we can pinky swear if you don't believe me."

Xiao Tian squatted down and extended his pinky finger towards her.

Zi Yan smiled innocently, quickly put away the Jade Bottle, even wiping her hands on her clothes before hooking her little pinky finger with Xiao Tian's.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now."

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Zi Yan shook her head.

"Yours won't do. Let me tell you, pinky promise~ a vow that can never be broken."

"Okay, okay, it will never change."

Xiao Tian looked at her happily and gently patted her head.

"Xiao Tian, what are you planning to do now?"

Zi Yan asked Xiao Tian curiously.

I plan to wander around here.

"What's there to see here? It's boring. I'll go now, and I'll come find you later."

After Zi Yan finished speaking, Heavenly Dao, put her hands behind her back, and skipped away.

This expresses that she is in a very good mood.

Xiao Tian chuckled softly and walked deeper into the forest.

After spending a whole day and traversing a small portion of the area, they still hadn't encountered a single Sixth Order Magical Beast, and their attempt to hone their skills through magical beast training had failed.

As for why he didn't fight Bai Ya, it's just too boring.

Bai Ya dared not let Xiao Tian fight freely. Putting aside whether he could win or not, if he hurt Xiao Tian, his master would definitely scold him.

At night, in his Wind Palace, Xiao Tian sat upright, holding Yun Yun in his arms.

"Stop messing around, didn't we just finish that?"

Yun Yun glared at Xiao Tian, but Xiao Tian ignored her and continued to do as he pleased.

"Are you saying that Black Skull Tomb has recently been hostile towards our Free and Unfettered Hall, and has even targeted our caravans?"

Xiao Tian looked at Yun Yun in front of him and spoke.

"Yes, they attacked our caravan before... but they were driven back. Although they were all wearing Mask, we found out from the clues that they were from the Black Skull Tomb."

Yun Yun said, slightly out of breath

"According to our spies, we've received information that other forces are secretly supporting their operations."

Xiao Tian tilted his head slightly, looked at her, and said tenderly.

"The Black Skull Tomb is quite powerful; only those other factions could command them."

"Indeed, they probably want to use them to find out our strength. After all, the entire Black-Corner Region is only so big, and they don't want anyone else to come and take a share."

Yun Yun tried hard to control her voice as she spoke.

"Keep an eye on them, and let me know once you've found out what's going on. I'll take care of them then. The Black-Corner Region is too peaceful right now; it's time for some changes."

"We can talk about that later. Let's take care of business first."

Xiao Tian pulled her into a tight embrace, and Yun Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Early in the morning, Xiao Tian, who had been attending three concerts in one night, emerged from Ya Fei's palace.

Upon exiting, one sees Queen Medusa seated cross-legged on Lotus Throne in the lake.

This lake is no ordinary lake; it was formed from the liquefaction of the Heaven and Earth Energy, making cultivation on it twice as effective.

Of course, this is very cloudy and cannot be drunk directly, otherwise it will cause an energy overload.

The refined Xiao Tian does not yet have the ability to do this.

"I want to join in after this; my hands are itching to get started."

Medusa opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Tian, who was walking on water, and said...

"Fei Yan, can you stop spying all the time? Why don't you join us?"

Upon hearing Medusa's words, Xiao Tian stumbled and nearly fell into the water.

"You guys were too loud and disturbed me, that's why I looked. I haven't even asked you to compensate me for my emotional distress yet."

"I won't let you get away with this. I will never submit to a man in my entire life. You're like a toad playing with a frog, ugly as you are."

Medusa raised her head slightly and said arrogantly.

Xiao Tian looked at the stubborn Medusa and smiled mysteriously. "All you've got is a stubborn mouth. I'll see just how stubborn you really are in the future."

"Put away your ridiculous idea. Can you even refine Sixth Grade Pill now?"

Medusa and Xiao Tian spent a lot of time together, and she also chatted with Xiao Yi Xian and the others, so they didn't treat Medusa as an outsider.

She knew Xiao Tian very well.

"Sure, as long as you gather enough herbs, I can concoct it anytime."

Xiao Tian sensed the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's soul; the little guy was now suppressed by Medusa and had fallen into a deep sleep.

"That's good. It wasn't for nothing that I worked so hard here looking after your house."

Queen Medusa crossed her arms over her chest, and the pressure nearly blinded Xiao Tian.

Seeing Xiao Tian's expression, Medusa smiled.

Xiao Tian went directly to the Lotus Seat where Medusa was cultivating and sat down beside her.
