Zi Yan: This Is Your Reward

After finishing the last bit of soy milk, Han Yue cleaned up the dishes, slowly stood up, and went to the sink to rinse her mouth.

The two then left the palace. Xiao Tian hugged his daughter, chatted with the women for a while, and then left the Free and Unfettered World.

Upon arriving at Pan Gate's base, he found Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yanzi, how did things go?"

"Not bad, it all depends on their future decisions."

Xiao Yan smiled and said that he always tried his best to do what Xiao Tian asked of him, and that he had obtained the two Heavenly Flames he currently possessed with Xiao Tian's help and assistance.

Moreover, Xiao Tian revealed that Han Feng was his senior brother, who had conspired with the Soul Hall to murder their master and ultimately died at the hands of the Soul Hall, during which Xiao Tian had played a significant role.

Every time he heard the name of his senior brother who had murdered his master, he wished he could drag him out and beat him to death again.

Xiao Tian's task for Xiao Yan was to have him visit the Alchemist Department more often, to help promote the reputation of Pan Gate and Free and Unfettered Hall.

After graduating from the Alchemist Department, students will consider joining the Free and Unfettered Hall.

Those who can enter the Alchemist Department are all top talents; with a little training, they can become excellent pillars of society.

Alchemist are extremely important to any faction; without their own Alchemist faction, they are easily held hostage by others.

The Alchemy Hall of the Free and Unfettered Hall is now managed by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan has no objection to this. Putting aside personal favors, the rich collection in the Alchemy Hall is enough for him to immerse himself in it.

"That's good. There's no need to rush this; we can take it slowly."

Xiao Tian picked up a cup of tea and took a small sip. "In that case, I'll leave everything to you. Do you want to go into the Free and Unfettered World?"

After saying that, Xiao Tian glanced at the White Ring on Xiao Yan's hand, and then sent Soul Transmission into it.

"I'll go in. I need to see my father." Xiao Yan nodded. He had originally planned to see Xiao Tian as well, because he could only enter the Free and Unfettered World and Unfettered Realm with Xiao Tian by his side. Otherwise, he would have to fly back to Free and Unfettered City to enter.

"What, do you want to talk about proposing marriage?" Xiao Tian said with a smile, noticing Xiao Yan's slightly embarrassed and awkward expression.

"That's right. Although it was a twist of fate, we still have to take responsibility. Besides, she and I both had our own ideas to begin with..."

Xiao Yan scratched his head and said with a determined look in his eyes.

"You can decide for yourself; your father and we all support you."

Xiao Tian nodded, then seemed to remember something and couldn't help but laugh.

"Tian Ge, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at Xiao Tian who had suddenly started laughing.

"I think my second brother is going to get a scolding again today."

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha~ Second brother's in for a world of hurt, he can't escape kneeling in the Ancestral Hall this time."

"You go in first, I still have some things to do."

After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he waved his hand and took Xiao Yan into the Free and Unfettered World, then flashed off in one direction.

Xiao Yan appeared directly in his own palace, and a phantom figure flew out from it.

"Was that your brother just now? Your own brother?" Heavenly Flame Venerable asked Xiao Yan as he floated in the air.

Xiao Yan looked at him and thought of his own teacher.

After helping himself tame the Fallen Heart Flame, he fell into a deep sleep, and through the Free and Unfettered Hall, he found many medicines to restore his soul.

He gave part of it to his teacher and part of it to Heavenly Flame Venerable. His teacher still hasn't recovered.

What Xiao Tian didn't know was that Yao Lao had already awakened, but he sensed another Soul Body within Xiao Yan, so he didn't intend to appear.

Instead, they would quietly lie in wait to see what the other party's intentions were, so that if there were any problems, they could catch the other party off guard.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Your brother is no ordinary person, and he's extremely mysterious. I haven't been able to find out anything about him, and he's already discovered my existence."

"And what is this place? I feel the energy inside is so pure; I feel my recovery speed has increased here."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan briefly explained the Free and Free and Unfettered World to him.

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, a trace of solemnity flashed in Heavenly Flame Venerable's eyes. As a former Dou Zun Expert, he was extremely familiar with the manipulation of space.

Even when in a state of complete victory, I am unable to build a Small World; I can only build a tiny space.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Tian had discovered the other party's presence and had even given him a warning.

Xiao Yan was right; the message Xiao Tian sent to Heavenly Flame Venerable when he left was a mix of carrot and stick.

In summary, it is

If you harbor any disloyal intentions, I will beat him to Soul Scattered and Spirit Dispersed.

Assist Xiao Yan well, and Xiao Yan will help him build a physical body.

At first, Heavenly Flame Venerable was skeptical of this, but now he completely believes what Xiao Tian said.

He even believed that it was Xiao Tian, not Xiao Yan, who helped him create his physical body.

Jia Nan Academy Forest.

Xiao Tian stood on a branch of a large tree, watching a battle below.

The two sides in the battle were a Fifth Order Magical Beast and a petite white figure.

The final battle ended with Zi Yan defeating the monster with a single punch.

Zi Yan also ran over and collected the medicinal herbs it was guarding.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Not bad, Little Zi Yan, it seems your strength has increased quite a bit. That punch of yours was incredibly violent."

Xiao Tian clapped his hands on the tree, took a step, and came to stand in front of Zi Yan.

"Xiao Tian, you've finally shown up! Where have you been? I've missed you so much!"

When Zi Yan saw that it was Xiao Tian, she excitedly jumped and pounced on Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian quickly supported her petite body. "I think you don't miss me, you just want me to help you refine the pills, right?"

"Hehe~." Zi Yan laughed awkwardly when she realized her little scheme had been exposed, "You're mistaken, I'm not like that at all."

"Really? Then why are you carrying that Storage Ring filled with so many medicinal herbs?"

Xiao Tian glanced at the Storage Ring Zi Yan was holding in her hand with a playful expression and said...

Zi Yan realized her actions had been discovered and confirmed, and she was momentarily embarrassed, her gaze drifting elsewhere.

"I don't know either. She just appeared on her own. I didn't take her out. It's definitely not my problem."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Tian burst out laughing.

Zi Yan saw Xiao Tian mocking her and couldn't help but clench her little fists, but then she remembered that she not only needed his help, but she couldn't even beat him in a fight.

I'm so angry, but there's nothing I can do. But I'll definitely find a chance to get my revenge, hmph.

Xiao Tian found her ever-changing expressions more entertaining than watching a grand opera.

"Alright, stop thinking nonsense. You can't beat me." Xiao Tian naturally knew what Zi Yan was thinking; this little girl held grudges.

"Give me your Storage Ring, and I'll refine it into pills for you. Then you'll come with me to a place."

"Smack!"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she excitedly kissed Xiao Tian on the cheek.

She had been worried that the pills were almost gone and she wouldn't be able to find Xiao Tian, and that she would have to eat the unpalatable medicinal herbs.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to simplicity.

I've gotten used to taking pills now, and I can't swallow them raw anymore. It's all this kid's fault for spoiling me.

"This is a reward for you; you're the first person I've ever kissed."

Seeing the stunned Xiao Tian, Zi Yan said arrogantly.

I made this gesture entirely because...
