As Yao Ling's cold voice fell, Shi Xuanxuan was first stunned, then came to her senses and immediately felt the outline of the angular and handsome face in front of her chest, as well as Xiao Yan's breathing, which seemed a little heavy because he was about to suffocate.

His hot breath seeped through her black robe, landing between her breasts, bringing a strange warmth and an unusual sensation that spread from her chest...

Her cheeks flushed instantly, her ears turned so red they looked like they could bleed, and her wheat-colored skin almost seemed to be steaming.

In her nervousness, she tightened her grip on Xiao Yan's hands slightly.

"Hmm..."

Xiao Yan, still unconscious, let out a very faint groan. Although his face was buried, it was obvious without even looking that his complexion had become much worse.

"Sister Xuanxuan, be gentle! Don't suffocate him!" Yao Ling's eyelids twitched, and she quickly stopped her. She stepped forward, her tone tinged with helplessness, and urged, "Quickly, make him lie down!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuanxuan realized what was happening and quickly pulled Xiao Yan gently from her arms. Then, she reached out and scooped Xiao Yan up in her arms, her movements gentle, as if afraid of causing Xiao Yan any further harm.

She held Xiao Yan in her arms, slowly bent down, and laid him flat on her bed.

Xiao Yan's handsome but pale face was finally freed from the "deadly gentle embrace" and exposed to the air.

He instinctively turned his head slightly to the side, and his chest began to rise and fall more noticeably. Although it was still weak, the danger of suffocation was finally over, and his tightly furrowed brows seemed to relax a little.

Seeing that Xiao Yan's breathing had returned to normal, Shi Xuanxuan let out a long sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing a little. However, the heat on her cheeks did not subside at all; she could even feel that the skin that had been touched by Xiao Yan's breath was still burning. The heat not only did not subside but also seemed to be spreading downwards...

Yao Ling was worried about Xiao Yan, so she didn't notice Shi Xuanxuan's abnormality at the moment. She stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and placed her slender, fair fingers on Xiao Yan's wrist again. Her calmed soul power was like the most precise probe, carefully examining the damage to Xiao Yan's soul.

His azure eyes were focused and serious; the playful look from before had vanished without a trace, leaving only the calmness and professionalism befitting a high-level alchemist.

A moment later, Yao Ling withdrew her hand, took out a warm jade bottle from her Storage Ring, uncorked it, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air, dispelling much of the lingering ambiguity and allure.

"The soul power was impacted by the backlash of the Heavenly Flames, causing considerable shock and resulting in disorder in the sea of consciousness, leading to a self-protective coma." As the Yao Ling explained, she carefully poured out a pill the size of a longan from the jade bottle, which emitted a soft, pale blue luster.

The surface of the elixir has shimmering, water-like Pill Pattern, making it a precious Fourth-Grade Pill for nourishing and repairing the soul— the Soul Nourishing Pill.

"Fortunately, Xiao Yan's soul power is exceptionally resilient, and he also has considerable resistance to Heavenly Flames, so he wasn't fundamentally damaged. After taking this Soul Nourishing Pill and resting quietly for a night, he should be fine..."

As Yao Ling spoke, she gently pried open Xiao Yan's jaw with one hand and carefully placed the emerald green pill into his mouth with the other.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm and cool energy flow that quickly seeped into Xiao Yan's brow and sea of consciousness.

Having done all this, Yao Ling, finally relieved, looked at Shi Xuanxuan beside her, who looked tense and embarrassed. A slight smile crept onto her lips, and her tone returned to its previous coolness, yet carried a hint of mischief:

"Alright, Sister Xuanxuan, Xiao Yan is fine now. However, it looks like he'll have to sleep here tonight. But... if this happens again, remember to keep an eye on him and give him some breathing space?"

She glanced meaningfully at Shi Xuanxuan's impressive curves, which even the loose black robe couldn't conceal.

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuanxuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She nodded, her gaze falling on Xiao Yan, and pursed her lips.

She took everything Yao Ling said to heart.

Remembering how Xiao Yan had injured his soul to protect her, yet continued to help her heal and break through to the next level, until he finally collapsed from exhaustion after seeing her succeed, Shi Xuanxuan's heart was thrown into turmoil.

Xiao Yan, that junior brother, is such a good person...

However, before she could think about it any further, Yao Ling noticed that Shi Xuanxuan's black robe was significantly larger than usual. Looking at the protrusion on the mountain peak, she knew what Shi Xuanxuan's current situation was. She couldn't help but want to probe for information and see how far her good sister had progressed with Xiao Yan.

"Sister Xuanxuan, what's wrong with your clothes?"

This question was very direct, and anyone else would have been embarrassed or annoyed. But Shi Xuanxuan was no ordinary woman. Thinking of Yao Ling's feelings for Xiao Yan, she felt that she couldn't tell the whole truth and affect Xiao Yan's image in Yao Ling's eyes.

Then, her expression straightened slightly.

"Oh, my Dou Qi was in disarray just now and shattered. Xiao Yan knew I couldn't free my hands, so he put his clothes on me."

Shi Xuanxuan said in a deep voice.

"Oh, then he probably didn't see anything, right?"

Yao Ling seemed to be concerned about Shi Xuanxuan's innocence, and asked with a look of concern.

But Shi Xuanxuan felt that Yao Ling meant more than just that, so she immediately tried to cover it up:

"What could you possibly see behind him? Junior Brother Xiao Yan is a gentleman, why would he be looking around like that?"

"Oh, he's actually a really nice person!"

Yao Ling didn't know whether she should feel relieved or disappointed, so she could only nod.

Seeing that Yao Ling seemed to believe her, Shi Xuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but recall the warm embrace Xiao Yan had given her when he carried her onto the Green Lotus Throne.

Looking back and thinking about it carefully, it's not hard to realize that Xiao Yan definitely saw through him this time!

How could anyone not see it from that position!

Sigh, I hope this won't affect her relationship with him...

As Shi Xuanxuan's thoughts raced, she suddenly felt her wrist being grabbed. Looking down, she saw that it was Yao Ling examining her body!

"Hmm, I haven't detected any signs of disordered Dou Qi. However, Sister Xuanxuan, you've just advanced in level, so your Dou Qi still needs to be solidified. You should go and consolidate your realm. Come to my room, I'll keep an eye on Xiao Yan for you."

After completing the examination, Yao Ling spoke with a serious expression.

"Well... alright then, I'll trouble you, Ling'er."

Hearing Yao Ling say this, Shi Xuanxuan naturally trusted her best friend's judgment and believed that Yao Ling could take good care of Xiao Yan. However, she also didn't want to be absent from Xiao Yan's side when he woke up. Therefore, without much hesitation, she agreed immediately.

Go early and come back early!

Shi Xuanxuan tightened her black robe, nodded to Yao Ling, glanced at Xiao Yan, but quickly looked away. Then, she turned and left the room, her long, slender legs strong and beautiful.

At this moment, the lights on the third floor of the attic appeared exceptionally bright and quiet in the night.

Yao Ling sat by the bedside, quietly watching over the unconscious Xiao Yan. Only their soft breathing could be heard in the room, and the lingering strange fragrance made one feel somewhat confused and intoxicated.

Looking at the delicate face she had been longing for, Yao Ling pursed her lips and subconsciously glanced towards the door, seemingly worried that Shi Xuanxuan might turn back.

His gaze lingered on Xiao Yan's face for a long time before finally settling on his slightly pale lips.

As an alchemist, shouldn't I have a responsibility to help the people I love regain their health...?

Yao Ling's expression showed some struggle, but soon, reason and desire formed a united front.

Never mind what happens in the future; this might be the best opportunity she's been waiting for all these years. Let's eat first!

Thinking of this, Yao Ling took a deep breath, then took out the lip rouge box from her Storage Ring, gently picked up a pinch with her fingertip, dotted it on her lips, and lightly blended it with her fingertip, turning her originally pink lips red.

Then, she bent down, slowly closed her eyes to conceal her somewhat dazed gaze, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her red lips, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, landed on her slightly pale lips.

She gently bit her tongue with her silver teeth, blood spreading across it. The blood-stained tip of her tongue then deftly extended...

Outside the window, the gentle moonlight, like water, flowed into the room, and the faint sound of rustling water could be heard.

At dawn, as the sun rises, it drapes the earth in a layer of orange-red rosy clouds.

Inside the attic, Shi Xuanxuan's cultivation level had been completely stabilized. She gently pushed open the door and saw Yao Ling lying by the bed, sleeping soundly. The glow of the sunset made her cheeks slightly red, and the soft downy hair on her face also shimmered with a faint golden-red luster.

As for Xiao Yan, he looked to be in good health, and his lips were much rosier, indicating that Ling'er was taking good care of him.

Shi Xuanxuan didn't make much of a commotion, but Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked over with a sharp gaze. After seeing that the person who entered the room was Shi Xuanxuan, the sharp look in his eyes quickly receded like a tide, and a kind smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly and then sat up.

"Hmm..."

Xiao Yan's movement of getting up stirred up a gust of wind, waking Yao Ling from her sleep.

When Yao Ling woke up, she found the figure from her dream, who had been making love with her, sitting on the bed looking at her blankly. She was immediately startled!

Oh no, did Xiao Yan find out I stole a kiss from him yesterday?

"Senior Sister Yao, Senior Sister Shi, have I slept all night?"

Xiao Yan asked.

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I was terrified; I thought we'd been discovered.

Hehe, speaking of which, he's really good with words...

"Yes, thanks to Ling'er taking care of you all night, how are you feeling now?"

Shi Xuanxuan was quite concerned about Xiao Yan's health and quickly asked.

"Hmm, I feel pretty good, refreshed and invigorated."

Xiao Yan answered without hesitation.

"Let me see!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling snapped out of her infatuated state and grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist.

A moment later, she smiled and said:

"The recovery is going well; it seems my treatment was quite effective."

Thinking about yesterday's treatment, Yao Ling blushed slightly.

"Thank you so much for your help, Senior Sister Yao. I feel much better now."

Xiao Yan felt that not only was the discomfort from his previous injury gone, but his soul had become even more agile. He then spoke with a smile.

"Don't mention it. After all, you're the president of our Student Union. We can't let anything happen to you."

Yao Ling said with a smile.

"I'm relieved to see you're alright. Thank you so much for yesterday, Xiao Yan."

Shi Xuanxuan said earnestly.

"You're too kind, senior. It was ultimately my fault for not controlling the Heavenly Flames properly, so I naturally have to take responsibility. Besides, it wasn't anything serious to begin with; it was just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

Xiao Yan smiled and replied.

He didn't think too much about it at the time. Although the Heavenly Flames did indeed have those characteristics, in his view, it was a problem caused by his insufficient control over the Heavenly Flames, and he should naturally take responsibility for it.

External factors are beyond our control, but if the Heavenly Flames, being our own Origin Flame, were to slip out of our control due to external stimuli, it would obviously be a problem. It seems we still need to find a way to control the fire!

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Shi Xuanxuan felt even more guilty. It was clearly her fault for not controlling her Dou Qi, yet Xiao Yan blamed her. Her junior brother really...

Thinking of this, Shi Xuanxuan's gaze towards Xiao Yan softened even more.

But she wasn't the type to fuss over it. She didn't mention it aloud, but silently kept it in mind, planning to report it later when the opportunity arose.

"President!"

Before the three could say anything, Han Yue's somewhat urgent voice came from downstairs.

"It's junior Han Yue looking for me, I'll go down and see!"

Xiao Yan immediately got out of bed, greeted the two of them, and then walked towards the door while tidying his clothes.

We'll go with you.

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling and Shi Xuanxuan exchanged a glance and said in unison.

"Good!"

Xiao Yan smiled and led the two women downstairs.

Han Yue was waiting outside Xiao Yan's room, but without a response from Xiao Yan, she naturally couldn't just push the door open and go in. After all, alchemists shouldn't be disturbed while they're refining medicine. Yesterday, her senior said he was coming back to refine medicine, and he probably worked hard all night. If it weren't for the emergency, she wouldn't have come to disturb him so early in the morning.

"Junior Han Yue, what happened?"

As Xiao Yan descended the stairs, he asked the question.

Upon hearing this, Han Yue was taken aback and looked in the direction the voice came from. She discovered that Senior Xiao Yan was actually coming downstairs with Senior Yao Ling and Senior Shi Xuanxuan.

Why are they together so early in the morning?

Han Yue subconsciously wanted to join in the gossip, but quickly realized that now was not the time, and hurriedly said:

"This morning, all the members who went to purchase medicinal herbs returned empty-handed. In addition, the members we sent out to sell pills were all obstructed, and some hot-tempered members were even beaten and injured after arguing with the other side. Now, half of our pill sales locations have been destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, sneered, and said calmly:

"Let's go take a look!"
