Hurry Up, I Can't Take It Anymore

"My suggestion is that you learn some more powerful Dou Technique. Your strength in the last battle was somewhat unworthy of your status as Three-star Dou Zong."

"Alright, I've finished speaking. Goodbye, Grand Elder."

Seeing Su Qian's face growing increasingly dark, Xiao Tian immediately closed the door and vanished in a flash of light.

Su Qian looked at the closed door in front of her, her originally dark face suddenly turning into a look of bewilderment.

Xiao Tian's words made sense; he did seem to be a bit off. It seemed he would have to use his special privileges to get into the Scripture Pavilion.

Having gone through this crisis, Su Qian has recognized her own shortcomings.

After leaving Su Qian's pavilion, Xiao Tian arrived at the Pan Men Residence. Xiao Yu and Hu Jia were not there; instead, he saw a white figure.

After inquiring with the guards, they learned about their situation at Pan Gate.

Especially after Xiao Tian revealed his Dou Emperor strength, even more people wanted to join the Pan Gate, which meant that the Pan Gate now had even more things to deal with.

Xiao Tian walked into the hall and patted the head of the figure who was resting with her eyes closed. "Little Zi Yan, what are you doing here?"

Zi Yan felt the evil hand above her head and opened her eyes to see who had the audacity to do it.

Upon recognizing Xiao Tian, she suppressed her anger and adopted a pitiful expression. "Xiao Tian, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you here all day."

"Little Zi Yan, what brings you here? What happened? No one in the Inner Academy could bully you, right?" Xiao Tian asked, amused by her aggrieved expression.

Although half of this grievance was feigned, it still carried a considerable amount of genuine resentment.

"Of course, in the entire Inner Academy, besides you, who dares to touch me Zi Yan?"

After saying something arrogantly with her hands on her hips, she took out her bottle of pills and turned it upside down:

"I've already finished all the pills you made for me. If you don't come back soon, I'll have to start gnawing on medicinal herbs again."

Xiao Tian affectionately pinched her slightly chubby face, full of collagen. "Then why don't you ask the people in the Alchemist Department to help you refine it?"

Xiao Tian asked the question that had been troubling him. This was also the case in the Original Work; when they ran out of pills, they wouldn't go to the Alchemist Department.

"Um, this," Zi Yan said shyly, rubbing her small hands together, "I don't like them. They ask for a lot of money from me, and they secretly withhold my medicinal herbs."

"Old Man Huo is more than happy for me to go to him, so he can make me do hard labor to find medicinal herbs for free."

"I still prefer to work with you. At least you won't skimp on the medicinal herbs, and your payment is reasonable. Also, you won't take advantage of me, unlike others who try to use me. Do they think I don't know? Hmph."

"Of course, most importantly, I can feel that you genuinely care about me."

As Zi Yan spoke, she lightly swung her short legs.

Xiao Tian chuckled softly upon hearing Zi Yan's words, realizing he truly had no intention of using her.

"Of course, Little Zi Yan so cute, how could I bear to take advantage of you?"

Xiao Tian recalled her previous coy behavior and realized there must be other reasons behind it. Connecting this to the incident at the Medicinal Herb Warehouse, he immediately understood, but he didn't intend to expose her.

"Hehe, Xiao Tian, you're such a good person." Zi Yan smiled when she heard Xiao Tian's words, revealing her two cute little tiger teeth.

Hmm? Did this mean I gave myself a "friend zone" card?

Xiao Tian sized up Zi Yan, who was of unknown age, at least over a thousand years old, yet still had a childlike personality.

According to the lifespan classification of Warcraft, Zi Yan should be in her infancy now, which is equivalent to a human girlhood.

According to the Original Work, Zi Yan's growth period should have been after breaking through to the Dou Emperor, then absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and finally breaking through to the Dou Sheng before reaching Mature Stage.

Xiao Tian cut off his own thoughts and looked at Zi Yan in front of him. "Where are your medicinal herbs?"

"It's been prepared for a long time." Zi Yan waved her hand, and a lot of medicinal herbs appeared on the table. Some of them were still covered with soil, but most of them had been picked a long time ago.

Noticing Xiao Tian's expression, Zi Yan explained, "These were given to me by Old Man Su."

Even after she finished speaking, Zi Yan's eyes still showed a lot of emotion. Although she said that the medicinal herbs she was given were all discarded, there is no such thing as discarded medicinal herbs.

Xiao Tian naturally saw the look in Zi Yan's eyes, but he chose not to say anything. Zi Yan was a smart person, and she naturally understood many things, so there was no need to say more.

"Then I'll make some pills for you now, but there are already plenty here, so I won't make them here."

"Okay, then you'd better hurry, I can't wait."

Zi Yan touched her belly, her voice filled with eager anticipation.

"Okay, okay, it'll be done soon, just bear with it a little longer."

Xiao Tian stroked her hair, which was tied in pigtails, and said gently.

Zi Yan's face also showed joy. She had long since gotten used to Xiao Tian touching her, and even seemed to like the feeling a little.

She raised her head, her eyes filled with seven parts expectation and three parts pleading, and said to Xiao Tian:

"Then you'd better hurry, I can't wait any longer, I've been waiting for so long."

He gathered the medicinal herbs from the table and headed towards the room. Zi Yan immediately jumped off the chair and followed behind him.

Upon arriving at the training area, Xiao Tian immediately took out his Purple Abyss Cauldron and began refining pills for Zi Yan.

Watching Xiao Tian begin refining pills, Zi Yan idly glanced around Xiao Tian's room, which appeared simple and tidy.

"Can I lie down for a while?" Seeing Xiao Tian heating the cauldron, Xiao Tian Zi Yan looked a little sleepy and asked him.

"Okay." Xiao Tian didn't even turn his head, continuing what he was doing, and said casually.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Zi Yan ran directly to Xiao Tian's bed, lay down on it, and felt the softness of the bed and the comfort emanating from her body. Zi Yan's dark eyes were filled with a look of enjoyment.

Once the Medicine Cauldron reached a certain temperature, Xiao Tian pushed it open, and the medicinal herbs that Zi Yan had brought over entered the Medicine Cauldron in an orderly fashion, with clusters of Heavenly Flames burning the herbs separately.

As time passed, Xiao Tian opened the lid of the cauldron, and pills of various colors transformed into a rainbow, continuously flying out of the Medicine Cauldron and then entering the Jade Bottle.

There were three large jade Jade Bottle filled with pills, each containing powerful Medicinal Properties energy. Zi Yan would probably be unable to move her legs when she saw them, and her mouth would be watering.

Arriving at his bedside, Xiao Tian saw Zi Yan lying on the bed, fast asleep, and shook his head helplessly.

I gently helped her take off her shoes, revealing her small feet encased in socks.

Xiao Tian gently helped her straighten her body, and looking at her serene face, a gentle smile appeared on Xiao Tian's face as well.

He took the blanket from the side and carefully covered her with it, afraid of waking her.

After doing everything, Xiao Tian sat cross-legged in his training area and began to cultivate.

As the sun slowly set, the afterglow of dusk, like a thin veil, gently filtered through the intercom and spilled into the room, rendering the entire space dreamlike.

Xiao Tian, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an uncontrollable look of joy and excitement.
