Nalan Yanran Was Set Straight, but Also Ruined

Nalan Yanran looked at the young man with a gentle smile on his lips, and was momentarily dazed.

"Have some spirit rice porridge."

Xiao Yan was holding a bowl of spirit rice porridge infused with foundation-strengthening and energy-nourishing pills. He scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, tested the temperature with his upper lip, and then fed it to Nalan Yanran.

As she looked at the spoonful of porridge being brought to her lips, and smelled the rich aroma of rice and the faint scent of medicine, Nalan Yanran's eyes reddened once again.

Even with her boundless courage, she never imagined such a day would come.

As she lay in bed, enjoying Xiao Yan's care, she was deeply moved and even somewhat incredulous when this thing she had never dared to hope for actually happened.

If she had known Xiao Yan was such a good person, why did she break off her engagement with him in the first place?

You should just marry him!

After sipping the porridge from the spoon, Nalan Yanran let Xiao Yan feed her the rest. Then, she took Xiao Yan's hand.

"Xiao Yan, I..."

She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin, and was momentarily speechless.

"Don't overthink it. Now that you're my woman, it's only right that I take care of you. Just rest well." Xiao Yan held her hand in return, gently stroking her cheek as he spoke softly, "You can apply the ointment yourself. If I help you, it will only make things worse and hinder your recovery."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Nalan Yanran was deeply moved. After Xiao Yan personally acknowledged her identity, she felt incredibly sweet. However, upon hearing the second half, she covered her face with her hands in embarrassment and said with a mixture of shyness and annoyance:

"Oh, please stop! It's so embarrassing!"

She certainly understood Xiao Yan's unspoken meaning, and she didn't understand why she had become so sensitive. She could only blame it all on that wicked Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan watched Nalan Yanran's shy and bashful appearance with great interest. He really hadn't expected that Nalan Yanran would be made of water.

To be honest, he's started to really enjoy "bullying" Nalan Yanran.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Xiao Yan said this, but he remained standing still, seemingly intending to watch Nalan Yanran apply the medicine.

Nalan Yanran blushed again, and couldn't help but slap Xiao Yan's arm, scolding him in a mix of embarrassment and annoyance:

"You're so naughty! Don't look! Get out of here!"

Xiao Yan looked indifferent, tilting his head in confusion as he asked:

Is there any part of your body that I haven't seen?

Nalan Yanran's face was so red it could bleed:

"If you keep doing this, I'm really going to get angry!"

But seeing that Nalan Yanran's eyes were about to turn aggrieved again, Xiao Yan felt that if Nalan Yanran got angry, she would probably disregard her own condition and throw a tantrum at him. In order to protect her health, Xiao Yan decided not to tease her.

"Alright, alright, I'll go out and guard the door for you."

Xiao Yan reached out and gently pinched her cheek before turning and walking out of the hall.

Only after the door slowly closed, concealing Xiao Yan's figure, did Nalan Yanran breathe a sigh of relief. She then picked up a wide-mouthed jade bottle containing ointment, lifted her nightgown, and, without cursing "beast" under her breath, took some ointment and gently applied it to her wound.

She's suffered terribly these past two and a half days; she feels that Xiao Yan is truly wicked.

But recalling Xiao Yan's gentle demeanor just now, she felt that Xiao Yan was truly wonderful. Even if she were to die immediately, she would have no regrets.

That being said, she was absolutely unwilling to die.

Having just experienced the beauty of life, she wanted to continue living like this, and even the matter between Xiao Yan and Yun Yun no longer seemed to matter to her.

She had even begun to understand Yun Yun.

She wasn't particularly close to Xiao Yan's girlfriends, and after thinking it over, she realized that her teacher was indeed the closest and most trusted partner she could be.

Furthermore, she had also asked Xiao Yan privately, and he said that Xiao Flame Master the relationship between Yun Yun and Xiao Yan, so Yun Yun couldn't be blamed.

As for blaming Xiao Yan?

Can they be the same?

Xiao Yan is the person she loves most!

Xiao Yan is right no matter what he does!

Rather than saying she was angry that Yun Yun and Xiao Yan were together, it would be more accurate to say she was angry that the two of them hadn't told her they were together!

But now that she and Xiao Yan have confirmed their relationship, everything is fine.

The teacher was still her favorite teacher.

Xiao Yan was also the Xiao Yan she loved most.

Perfect!

While pondering, Nalan Yanran's hand, which was applying ointment, trembled slightly, accidentally poking the wound, causing her to gasp involuntarily.

Outside the main hall, Xiao Yan had just come out when he saw Yun Shan casually sitting on a stone step in the distance.

Xiao Yan hurriedly went to greet him. After all, Yun Shan in this life had not done anything bad, and had even treated him quite well, calling him a good son-in-law, helping him develop the Yan Alliance, being Yun Yun's mentor, and having raised him. He was almost no different from Xiao Yan's father-in-law, so he had to show him the respect he deserved.

"Elder Yun."

Xiao Yan cupped his hands in a salute and greeted him with a smile.

"Tsk, you finally decided to come out?"

Yun Shan raised an eyebrow, his gaze somewhat mocking as he looked at Xiao Yan, whose appearance had drastically changed.

He had already guessed that it was about Yun Yun and Xiao Yan when he saw Nalan Yanran come back crying. He originally wanted to let Nalan Yanran calm down, and then come back the next day to persuade and enlighten her, and then find a way to send this stupid grand-disciple to Xiao Yan.

As a result, he was directly blocked outside the main hall by the soul barrier set up by Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yan said he was comforting Nalan Yanran, the fact that a man and a woman had been alone in a room for two and a half days, and that Xiao Yan was a well-known playboy in the Jia Ma Empire, made Yun Shan completely disbelieving that Xiao Yan was merely comforting Nalan Yanran.

"Ahem, Yanran is still upset, so naturally I'll have to put in more effort... uh, I mean, I'll have to put in more thought and effort to comfort her!"

Xiao Yan realized he had let something slip and quickly corrected himself, but Yun Shan was already speechless.

"It's no big deal. Even if you don't take the initiative, I can still knock that stupid girl out, drug her, and send her to your bed. I don't know what she's thinking. Yun'er isn't selfish. If Yanran wants to be with you, she won't stop her. It's just that I'll play the bad guy this time."

Yun Shan waved his hand, speaking with great righteousness.

He didn't know about the relationship between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, but as an old monster of his age, he had naturally experienced a lot. Wasn't it just a simple matter between men and women?

To reiterate, as long as the Misty Cloud Sect can achieve revival, he is even willing to mobilize the entire sect to hold a beauty pageant for Xiao Yan.

Although the Mittel Family is the most insightful in terms of investment acumen within the Jia Ma Empire, with Ya Fei and Hai Bodong being the most outstanding among them.

But Yun Shan is no slouch either!

Xiao Yan's genius is beyond any doubt.

Given that, he was naturally willing to give it his all.

Anyway, the Soul Hall had messed with him before, so he was already irreconcilably opposed to the Soul Hall.

Furthermore, since his disciple Yun Yun genuinely liked Xiao Yan, he felt that even if the Soul Hall came after him because of Xiao Yan, he had nothing to fear.

Just cling to Xiao Yan's coattails and you'll be all set.

He's old; how far he can go is simply a matter of fate.

But Xiao Yan is a peerless genius whose potential to soar to great heights is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Even a fool knows which one to choose.

"Ahem, Elder Yun, please be careful with your words. It won't sound good if these words get out."

Hearing Yun Shan's raunchy words, Xiao Yan was also shocked. Good heavens, is this the Misty Cloud Sect Master or a bandit leader?

It's like they're trying to kidnap Nalan Yanran and make her their bandit wife.

"Tch, that's nothing. The fact that you're with two generations of sect leaders from the Misty Cloud Sect shows that our Misty Cloud Sect is blessed with outstanding people and excellent disciples. That's a good thing!"

The Mittel Family only has one daughter Ya Fei.

There wasn't a single member of the Mu Family.

As for the Nalan Family? Those people aren't even as decisive as Yanran, so let's not even mention them!

The Old Man Jia's Jia Ma Imperial Family isn't all that great either. His two granddaughters are quite beautiful, but neither of them caught your eye, did they?

Oh, right, there's also Queen Medusa of the Snake-Person Tribe. It's really impressive that you were able to take her down. I fought her back in the day, and although we didn't end up with a clear winner, that woman is no pushover. You've got some skills, kid!

But in the end, the fact that you, the leader of the Yan Alliance, have two women from my Misty Cloud Sect by your side will not only not have a negative impact on the Misty Cloud Sect, but will even attract many people to come here!

Whether it's to pay homage to the Alliance Leader's holy countenance or to become the Alliance Leader's woman, my Misty Cloud Sect is still a treasure trove, isn't it?

Yun Shan said with a smile.

Xiao Yan was stunned. After a long while, he gave Yun Shan a thumbs up and exclaimed:

"Damn, Elder Yun, you really know how to find unconventional solutions! But I already have Yun'er and Yanran, that's enough. As for the others..."

Upon hearing this, before Xiao Yan could finish saying the last two words, "Never mind," Yun Shan's lips curled into a smile:

"Heh heh, you think I don't know? That little girl named Xiao Mei was also someone your clan arranged, wasn't she? So, my Misty Cloud Sect has produced three Alliance Leader wives!"

"Oh, this..."

Xiao Yan also fell silent.

That's really true!

What Yun Shan said is indeed true; Xiao Mei is a very likable girl. All these years have passed; she must have grown into a beautiful young woman by now.

Judging by the timeline, they should have already held their coming-of-age ceremony, right?

I'll go check on her cultivation at the Misty Cloud Sect later. With Sister Yun personally guiding her, she shouldn't be doing too badly.

"Shut up now, huh? Don't worry, young people have plenty of energy. Anyway, you're the Deputy Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, especially Yun'er and Yanran's man. If there's a woman in the sect you fancy, as long as she's of legal age, just go for it! Don't hold back!"

Yun Shan said with a smile, but Xiao Yan always felt that the old man clearly regarded him as a lecherous devil.

What kind of image does he have in the Jia Ma Empire now?!

"There's no need for that. There are plenty of women available now."

Xiao Yan crossed his arms into an "X" shape and refused righteously.

Yun Shan simply smiled and remained silent.

"Depend on!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only roll his eyes in frustration.

He's actually a very upright and virtuous person!
