A Heart-to-Heart Talk, Xiao Xun'er's Forgiveness

"What?" Xiao Yan heard Xiao Xun'er murmur almost imperceptibly as she asked.

Xiao Xun'er composed herself and said calmly, "It's nothing."

Xiao Yan didn't press the matter, and offered the Break-Ancestor Pill again. "Xun'er, please accept this Break-Ancestor Pill."

Xiao Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then accepted the Break-Ancestor Pill without further refusal.

Touching the perfectly round Break-Ancestor Pill, Xiao Xun'er still said, "Brother Xiao Yan, you know that Xun'er will not lack cultivation resources."

If you simply want to express your feelings, Brother Xiao Yan, refining a single Tier 1 Medicinal Pill would suffice.

You need resources to improve yourself right now, don't waste them because of Xun'er."

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's sincere advice, Xiao Yan felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, "Xun'er, I know you don't lack resources. Apart from the Secret Technique I gave you that time, I can't think of anything else that can help you."

Therefore, this Break-Ancestor Pill is not for you to take."

Xiao Xun'er's expression changed slightly, and she asked in confusion, "Who is that for?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyes and glanced at a shadowy corner of the Small Courtyard, then said, "Xun'er, whether it's because of you or not, Elder Ling has helped me many times."

You know my personality; I won't say these feelings out loud, but I'll remember them in my heart.

Elder Ling is now at the peak of the Dou Emperor, and a Break-Ancestor Pill would be the best gift for him.

However, Elder Ling is still one of your people. No matter how close we are, this boundary cannot be crossed at will.

The debt of gratitude must be repaid, but it must be repaid by you.

As he spoke, Xiao Yan held Xiao Xun'er's hand tightly, gripping the Break-Ancestor Pill, his voice gentle.

Xiao Xun'er felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter. After hearing what Xiao Yan said, she quickly turned her head away and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, I understand. Please loosen your grip a little."

Xiao Yan nodded and readily released his hand.

Xiao Xun'er felt the warmth enveloping her hand disappear, and a sense of reluctance arose in her heart. It took her a while to withdraw her hand.

She felt she was about to reach her limit.

"Brother Xiao Yan, all you do is bully Xun'er..."

This time, Xiao Xun'er did not lower her voice.

Xiao Yan heard it clearly and immediately felt a tightness in his chest.

"Xun'er... I..." Xiao Yan wanted to apologize, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Xun'er raised her head, her eyes meeting hers directly, her emotions finally overflowing. "Brother Xiao Yan, do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard you were with other women?"

"I've thought about ignoring you, but I can't do it. I've thought about not forgiving you, but that would only make me feel worse."

A tear rolled down Xiao Xun'er's cheek, making her earnest and stubborn face all the more poignant.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you're so mean! You knew Xun'er wouldn't leave you, so you went to find other women, and even had those kinds of relationships with them... You never even kissed me!"

Brother Xiao Yan, I grew up with you, I should be the most important woman to you.

I'm afraid—afraid that other women will surpass me, afraid that you won't like Xun'er anymore.

"It should have been me first!"

Xiao Yan listened in silence, his lips dry as he said, "I'm sorry, Xun'er, I made you feel insecure."

Xiao Xun'er shook her head, a tear sliding down her cheek. "I don't want your apology, Brother Xiao Yan, I only want your love!"

Without further hesitation, Xiao Yan removed his mask and kissed Xiao Xun'er's delicate lips with all his might.

He realized that he was being influenced by his past life's beliefs, making him too indecisive, overthinking, and worrying too much.

In the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigns supreme, and it's perfectly normal for powerful individuals to have multiple wives and concubines.

He was worried that Xun'er would be jealous, and he was afraid to face Xun'er, which led to Xun'er's misunderstanding and caused this tragic scene.

Let's be more decisive and accept the consequences!

In the Small Courtyard, a man and a woman...

Xiao Xun'er closed her eyes and felt it.

During this process, Xiao Xun'er's long-lost sense of security was gradually filled.

The two hugged each other.

Xiao Xun'er thought to herself, "Brother Xiao Yan's body is so strong and warm. I wish I could stay nestled against him forever."

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, sensed Xiao Xun'er's growth from another perspective, which stirred up his mind and made his body feel hot.

After a long while, they separated, and a thin, crystalline thread slowly broke.

Xiao Xun'er's eyes softened, and her voice, no longer cold, returned to its former cheerful tone, which she used to have when facing Xiao Yan at the Xiao Clan: "Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er feels your love."

She looked down at Xiao Yan and said playfully, "It's so obvious, Brother Xiao Yan."

"Ahem." Xiao Yan coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, then touched his nose. "Because it's you, Xun'er, no one can resist, right?"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and said, "I don't need anyone else, just Brother Xiao Yan is enough."

Her eyes shone as she looked at Xiao Yan's face, a hint of amusement in her voice. "Long time no see! Brother Xiao Yan has grown even more handsome; no wonder he attracts so many women."

Xiao Yan made up his mind, his tone becoming much firmer. "No matter how many women there are, Xun'er, you will always be number one in my heart."

"That would be perfect." Xiao Xun'er pouted.

The night was shrouded in mist.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er sat close together on the stone bench, recounting the events of the past two years.

Through Xiao Xun'er's account, Xiao Yan learned that when she first enrolled in school, she was relentlessly pursued by someone. That student was then reprimanded by Ling Ying in the middle of the night. After several such incidents, he realized that pursuing Xiao Xun'er would result in being beaten, and he became obedient afterward.

In addition, Hu Gan, the vice dean of the Outer Academy, has a granddaughter named Hu Jia who is also pursuing Xiao Xun'er.

"Will Brother Xiao Yan feel uncomfortable? Xun'er can keep her distance," Xiao Xun'er said considerately.

Xiao Yan quickly shook his head. "It's alright, go ahead and pursue her. It's fine with girls, and besides Xun'er, you should have some friends already."

Xiao Xun'er nodded, then said, "Brother Xiao Yan, tell Xun'er about what has happened to you in the past two years."

Xiao Yan did not refuse. Looking at the bright white moon in the sky, he began his story from when they entered Green Mountain Town.

They nearly wiped out the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, explored the cave with Xiao Yi Xian, improved themselves in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, met Yun Yun Yun, and together they wiped out almost all the overlords of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, absorbed the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, and their alchemy skills improved...

Having changed his mind, Xiao Yan no longer concealed or hesitated about whether to tell Xiao Xun'er everything he, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun had experienced.

He has figured it out: all he needs is enough strength to have everything.

But if he hesitates too much and is indecisive, not only will he suffer, but Xiao Xun'er and the others will also suffer.

As expected, after hearing about everything Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian had gone through with Yun Yun, Qing Lin, and Medusa, Xiao Xun'er, unusually, pinched the soft flesh on Xiao Yan's waist. But instead of being sad, she said very seriously, "Brother Xiao Yan, strive to become stronger! Otherwise, even if Xun'er agrees, the other women won't!"
