Fooling around

When Xiao Yu and his group returned to the inn in Black Emperor City, they saw Little Zi Yan sitting in the living room with Little Xiao Nian. A hint of resentment flashed in Zi Yan's slightly purple eyes, as if she was angry that Xiao Yu hadn't taken her with him this time.

Seeing Zi Yan's appearance, Xiao Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly, "This time, don't blame me. It was Yun'er who made you stay home to look after Little Xiao Nian; otherwise, I would definitely have taken you with me!"

Zi Yan gave a soft snort, then turned her head away, ignoring Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu beckoned to Little Xiao Nian and said, "Little girl, come here!"

When Little Xiao Nian heard her father call her, her eyes lit up, but then she looked at Zi Yan sitting next to her, pouted, and said, "Daddy made Sister Zi Yan unhappy, you have to coax her!"

Upon hearing Little Xiao Nian's words, Zi Yan turned her head and chuckled inwardly, "At least I didn't spoil you for nothing!"

But the next moment, Zi Yan's smile vanished. Xiao Yu said, "Good girl, come here, Daddy will give you candy. If you calm down for a while, your Sister Zi Yan won't be angry anymore!"

Zi Yan was furious after hearing this. What did he mean by "you'll calm down after a while"?

Little Xiao Nian had no idea about any of this. With her innocent eyes, she looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Really? Daddy, do you really have candy?"

"Come on, come on!" Xiao Yu chuckled, and a red candy appeared in his palm, making Little Xiao Nian's eyes light up. No words were as effective as a candy!

Thump thump thump!

Little Xiao Nian jumped off the chair and ran to Xiao Yu's arms with her short legs, completely forgetting what Zi Yan had told her before!

Zi Yan turned around in disbelief, her face flushed, and stared at Little Xiao Nian, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Xiao, Nian!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Yun Yun, Cai Lin, and the others covered their mouths and chuckled. Xiao Yi Xian also shook her head and smiled, saying, "Has Zi Yan forgotten Little Xiao Nian's gluttonous nature?"

Little Xiao Nian innocently popped the candy into her mouth, then looked at Zi Yan with a pout and said, "Sister Zi Yan, I didn't want to either, but Daddy tempted me with candy!"

That adorable little face extinguished even the greatest anger in Zi Yan's heart. The farce was easily resolved by Xiao Yu, thanks in large part to Little Xiao Nian's help!

Ya Fei stepped forward and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "Now that you've all returned safely, what about the Black Emperor Sect...?"

Xiao Yu looked at Ya Fei and said, "Several elders of Magic Flame Valley, Mo Tianxing and Mo Ya, the sect leaders of the Black Emperor Sect, and Elder Eagle Mountain and his group all died in the canyon outside the city. We can prepare to take over the territory of the Black Emperor Sect. As for Magic Flame Valley, we'll talk about it after I return from the Heavenly Snake Mansion!"

Ya Fei frowned as she looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Are you going to the Heavenly Snake Mansion?"

"I'm going to the Heavenly Snake Mansion alone this time. You all go back to Maple City and wait for me. Trust me, nothing will happen!" Xiao Yu said gently.

After learning from Iron Protector another elder had arrived, he became somewhat uneasy. He suddenly felt uneasy about Qing Lin in the Heavenly Snake Mansion and decided to go there himself. If all else failed, he would keep Qing Lin by his side this time. Presumably, her cultivation was not too bad. With his strength, he could simply go to the Central Plains to find a few ancient serpent souls for her!

Cai Lin's cold voice rang out at this moment. "Even if your current strength is comparable to that of the Soul Hall Elder, how can you guarantee that no one in the Heavenly Snake Mansion will be used by the Soul Hall Elder?"

Xiao Yu frowned upon hearing this. This was something he hadn't considered. The Soul Hall's most common tactic was to use a breakthrough in strength as a price. If the Mansion Lord the Heavenly Snake Mansion was truly tempted by the elders of the Soul Hall, it wasn't impossible that he might turn against them!

"So it's better if I go with you this time. Yun Yun needs to take care of Little Xiao Nian, Zi Yan isn't strong enough, and Ya Fei needs to handle some follow-up matters. I had already made an agreement with you before that I would be your bodyguard for a period of time until you help me refine the pill!" Cai Lin said to Xiao Yu without changing her expression.

Xiao Yu was also touched as he looked at Cai Lin. Although she appeared stubborn and pretended not to care, she was still worried about him. However, at this moment, Xiao Yi Xian spoke up, "I'm fine, and my strength is no less than yours. Why don't you come with Xiao Yu to the Heavenly Snake Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin paused slightly, glanced at Xiao Yi Xian with her cold eyes, and then looked away. Xiao Yi Xian also exchanged a glance with Cai Lin, and an invisible aura collided between the two!

Xiao Yu quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, since that's the case, then you two come with me. We'll leave tomorrow!"

Then Xiao Yu swept his hand across the table, and several Storage Ring appeared before everyone. "These were taken from those people in the Black Emperor Sect and Magic Flame Valley. There must be some good stuff in them. Take a look and see if there's anything you need!"

After saying that, Xiao Yu carried Little Xiao Nian upstairs, and Yun Yun followed behind.

Inside the room, Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Are you confident this time?"

Xiao Yu looked at Yun Yun and said, "I'm confident. Don't worry, even if I can't win, I can still run away. Besides, if I can encounter the Elder of the Soul Hall this time, it will be a great training opportunity for me. After all, I haven't felt that kind of life-or-death crisis in a long time. Maybe I can take this opportunity to break through again!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun simply sighed softly and didn't try to persuade him further. Xiao Yu, after putting Little Xiao Nian down, whispered in Yun Yun's ear, "Stay with me tonight!"

Yun Yun's fair and rounded earlobes immediately turned crimson, and she looked at Xiao Yu with a slightly evasive gaze, scolding, "Nian'er is still here!"

"Let Nian'er sleep with Cai Lin tonight, it's fine!" Xiao Yu said quickly, seizing the opportunity.

Yun Yun blushed and glared at Xiao Yu before saying, "How old are you? All you do is fool around!"

Yun Yun quickly picked up the still bewildered Little Xiao Nian and walked out, while Xiao Yu chuckled and looked on with anticipation.

As night fell, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged in his room, cultivating and consolidating his cultivation. At this moment, a creaking sound came, and the door to Xiao Yu's room was gently pushed open. A pair of snow-white, plump, and slender legs walked in from outside. The light blue cheongsam made Yun Yun's figure appear even more gentle and intellectual.

The moment Yun Yun walked in, Yun Yun Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, moved slightly, and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed Yun Yun red lips.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Yun Yun's breathing became a little rapid. Xiao Yu bent down and carried Yun Yun in his arms towards the bed. Soon after, a faint soft cry came from Xiao Yu's room, and even the moon outside the window shyly hid behind the clouds.
