Heart Blood Essence in Hand, Reunion with Xiao Xun'er

Xiao Yan was stunned.

He knew Zi Yan was straightforward, but this was a bit too straightforward.

He then gave away the pill, which directly forced out his Heart Blood Essence?

"Don't you want to hurry up?" Zi Yan urged.

Xiao Yan immediately took out a new jade bottle and used his Soul Power to guide Zi Yan's Heart Blood Essence into the bottle.

After carefully putting away the jade bottle, he quickly stopped the pale-faced Zi Yan and took out a healing pill.

"Eat." He brought the pill to Zi Yan's lips.

Zi Yan didn't resist, opened her mouth and swallowed the pill, whispering, "It's sweet."

After taking the pill, Zi Yan's complexion improved somewhat, but her overall aura was still a bit weak.

The essence of a beast's Heart Blood Essence is, after all, the blood essence of its entire body. Although it is not fatal after being extracted, it will still take a long time to recover.

"Besides Old Man Su, you're the first person who trusts me so much."

Everyone else in the academy either avoided me like the plague, calling me the Brute Force King," or treated me like a child, not believing me at all.

"No wonder I felt so comfortable with your presence the first time I saw you; it seems my intuition was right." Zi Yan smiled.

Xiao Yan nodded, somewhat understanding why Zi Yan's reaction was so unusual.

Zi Yan fought with many magical beasts for food since childhood. After accidentally eating the Transformation Grass, she was adopted by Su Qian and lived in the Jia Nan Academy.

Su Qian loves Zi Yan and regards Zi Yan as a daughter or granddaughter from the bottom of her heart.

Unfortunately, as the Grand Elder of the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, Su Qian had to take charge of the overall situation when the Dean was away, and he rarely had any free time, so Zi Yan did not receive enough care.

Because of her straightforward personality, Zi Yan is not well-liked by the entire Jia Nan Academy. Few people are willing to talk to her, and even those who are are mostly calculating.

Xiao Yan, because of the impressions provided in the original work, did not have any stereotypes about Zi Yan's personality and appearance. This alone set him apart from everyone except Su Qian.

The trust he offered was a luxury for Zi Yan, a young girl.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but pat Zi Yan's head, deciding to take a risk and try to get closer to her. "At the Jia Nan Academy, doesn't anyone treat you normally?"

Zi Yan glanced at Xiao Yan's hand patting her head, didn't dodge, and said, "Hmph, I don't care how they treat me."

Xiao Yan didn't refute, and then asked, "What about your family?"

Zi Yan's eyes dimmed briefly, then she feigned indifference and said, "I have no parents, I don't even know what kind of magical beast I am. If I had any relatives, it would probably only be Old Man Su."

Xiao Yan paused, his hand stroking Zi Yan's head, and asked seriously, "Would you mind having another brother?"

Zi Yan was taken aback, her eyes wide with surprise. When she realized what Xiao Yan meant, she immediately pouted, "I don't want you to pity me! I'm not pitiful at all!"

Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, you're not pitiful at all."

"I took you in as my sister only because you helped me intercept the elixir last time. I remember your help, so if we become sworn siblings, I won't have to repay you."

Zi Yan puffed out her cheeks. "Hmph, so that's how it is."

She opened her mouth, instinctively about to refuse, but then swallowed the words back.

She looked at Xiao Yan, then turned her head and said, "Are you very good to your sister?"

Xiao Yan thought of Qing Lin, and his voice carried a hint of amusement. "She's alright, that girl is very clingy to me."

However, she has to accept a legacy, so she's not by my side.

"If you become my sister, I'll back you up and even make medicine for you for free in the future, how about it?"

Zi Yan swallowed hard, her heart immediately fluttering.

However, isn't it a bit strange to establish a sibling relationship after only their second time meeting alone...?

Zi Yan was a little conflicted, so she said, "Wanting to be my brother isn't that simple. Let me eat the Myriad Beast Pill and see how well you refine pills. Then I'll give you my answer."

After saying that, Zi Yan ran away in a flash.

Xiao Yan smiled. Although they hadn't officially established their relationship yet, judging from Zi Yan's tone, his progress was clearly quite good.

Moreover, the biggest gain from this meeting was Zi Yan's Heart Blood Essence.

With this Heart Blood Essence, he can awaken his Heaven-Swallowing Talent. Given the Ancient Void Dragon of the Void's Heaven-Swallowing Talent in space, the chances of him awakening Heaven-Swallowing Talent are pretty high.

thump thump thump--

No more than a minute after Zi Yan left, there was a knock on the Small Courtyard gate.

Xiao Yan immediately understood that someone had definitely arrived long ago and was waiting for Zi Yan to leave before showing up.

Come in.

The courtyard gate wasn't opened; instead, a figure shrouded in shadow darted in from outside.

"Young Master Xiao Yan," Ling Ying said.

Xiao Yan nodded, having expected this, and asked, "Is it Xun'er is willing to see me?"

Ling Ying nodded. "Yes."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "Miss Xun'er is in a very good mood."

Xiao Yan nodded. "Thank you, Elder Ling."

Without further ado, the two set off immediately.

Small Courtyard.

Xiao Yan followed Ling Ying to a detached residential Small Courtyard, which was smaller than his elder's Small Courtyard, but still considered luxurious.

Ling Ying led the way to the location, nodded to Xiao Yan, and then disappeared into the shadows.

Xiao Yan stood alone outside the courtyard gate, unusually nervous.

thump thump thump--

After the knock, a calm voice came from inside the courtyard. "Come in."

Xiao Yan pushed open the door and stepped over the threshold of the courtyard gate. His view suddenly opened up, and the girl's appearance was revealed before him.

Xiao Xun'er stood in the center of the Small Courtyard, her head slightly tilted back, as if watching the sun set. The dim sunlight fell on her flawless face, adding to her unique charm as a beauty from a painting.

The girl turned around, her expression neither sad nor happy, giving off an aura of tranquility, like a lotus flower on a river, pure, elegant, and unblemished.

"Xun'er." Unlike last time, when it was urgent, Xiao Yan carefully examined Xiao Xun'er, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

More than two years have passed, and the young woman has grown up to live up to the reputation of being stunningly beautiful. Her eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her skin is so fair that it glows.

Seeing Xiao Yan lost in thought for her, even though she was determined not to easily forgive him, Xiao Yan Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but feel happy.

There's nothing I can do, she's always like this.

It can only be Xiao Yan; as long as it's Xiao Yan, she can't resist him.

Xiao Yan stared at it for a long time, until Xiao Xun'er could barely maintain her indifferent expression, before belatedly taking out the pill.

"Xun'er, consider this Break-Ancestor Pill as a make-up for the missing gift from last time."

Xiao Xun'er looked at it but didn't take it. "Brother Xiao Yan is so generous. Such a Break-Ancestor Pill can be exchanged for a lot of resources, right?"

Xiao Yan shook his head, his tone casual, as if stating common sense. "Scheming is for others, Xun'er, you are different."

Xiao Xun'er's body stiffened, and an endless warmth welled up from the bottom of her heart, almost making her unable to control herself and rush into Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Yan, please... please don't bully Xun'er anymore..."
