Nalan Yanran: Husband, I Love You!

Xiao Yan was completely unaware of Hun Li Li's training of Feng Qing'er. At this moment, after spending the afternoon with Xiao Mei, he returned to the Sect Leader Main Hall.

When Nalan Yanran saw Xiao Yan return, she quickly got up to greet him, her expression gentle and docile. There was no trace of the melancholy she had shown earlier because of Yun Yun and Xiao Yan's affair.

She had only taken two steps when her eyebrows furrowed slightly and she bent over slightly, clearly indicating that the injury between her legs had not yet healed.

"Hey, didn't I tell you to rest? Why are you up?"

Xiao Yan traversed space and arrived in front of Nalan Yanran, then swept her up in his arms.

Hearing Xiao Yan's gentle and caring voice, and feeling herself being lifted up by warm and strong arms, Nalan Yanran felt incredibly sweet inside.

After being loved properly by Xiao Yan, she had made peace with everything that had happened to her.

Now, even if she were to take the initiative to invite Yun Yun to serve Xiao Yan with her, she would have no objections!

Since things have already come to this, we might as well enjoy them!

As for being jealous of the teacher?

That's somewhat true. After all, Yun Yun won over Xiao Yan quietly and secretly, unlike her, who was kept in the dark until she came out of seclusion.

Xiao Yan gently placed Nalan Yanran back on the bed. Seeing that she still looked tired, he tucked her in and said softly, "You should rest a bit more. You've just come out of seclusion, and your Dou Qi realm is still unstable. I'll stay with you."

Nalan Yanran shook her head, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, her eyes filled with anticipation:

"I'm not tired... I just want to see you more."

Xiao Yan was somewhat unaccustomed to the unusually docile Nalan Yanran before him. When they were still senior and junior brothers, Nalan Yanran had been quite kind to him, but she was never as gentle and obedient as she was now.

"Alright, then I'll let you see as much as you want."

Xiao Yan smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed, took Nalan Yanran's hand, and began to tell her about his experiences over the years.

This lecture lasted all night.

Hearing about Xiao Yan's experiences traveling around over the years, Nalan Yanran felt extremely heartbroken and ashamed.

Despite being reborn as Dou Sheng in her previous life, she was never able to help Xiao Yan. Instead, she couldn't get over the hurdles of her past life, so she staged a scene to break off the engagement. She also threw a tantrum because she was jealous of her teacher and Xiao Yan, making Xiao Yan spend his precious time taking care of her and accommodating her.

"Husband, I'm sorry, I was so insensible."

She stood up and hugged Xiao Yan, her voice low and apologetic.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan simply smiled and gently patted Nalan Yanran's back to comfort her, while also softly saying:

"It's alright. I know you're acting this way because you care about me too much. Besides, you're my woman now, so it's okay to be more tolerant of you. I was too dramatic back then, which is why I made you break off the engagement."

After all these years, I've come to realize that those things didn't really matter, and whether I had romantic feelings for you back then wasn't that important.

The important thing is that the engagement was arranged by our two grandfathers, which can be said to be my grandfather's last wish. I shouldn't have just stood by and watched the engagement be broken off. Besides, you already had feelings for me back then. Although I can't be the kind of person who only loves one person in my life, you love me so much, how could I let you have regrets for the rest of your life?"

Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran felt that she had wasted so many years of her life. From the very beginning, she had already been in an invincible position because of the marriage agreement. Why did she have to think that she was advancing by retreating, when in fact she was just retreating again and again?

But when she thought that no matter what, they had already achieved a happy ending, she felt more satisfied. Her love surged like a tide, and she couldn't help but hug Xiao Yan and fall backward, bringing him to the bed.

"Um?"

Xiao Yan also saw through her intention, and a hint of worry and inquiry appeared in his eyes.

This was clearly out of concern for her health, as her injuries had not yet fully healed.

"Anyway, you're Peak Eighth-Grade alchemist. Even if you kill me, you can still bring me back to life. What's a little injury like this?"

Nalan Yanran's eyes were filled with surging love, and her words were incredibly bold. Although not as direct as Zi Yan's, they were still quite rare.

"My husband, I want you to love me."

Although the engagement had long been dissolved, and the two hadn't even been boyfriend and girlfriend before, Nalan Yanran already considered herself Xiao Yan's woman. Therefore, despite feeling shy, she had already decided to address Xiao Yan as such from now on.

No matter what happened, the person Xiao Yan was betrothed to since childhood was Nalan Yanran, and she called him "husband" with a clear conscience and full of satisfaction.

Seeing that Nalan Yanran had said so, Xiao Yan naturally couldn't spoil the mood. He wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist and spoke tenderly and affectionately:

"Yanran, I love you."

Of course, this wasn't a confession of love, but rather a response to Nalan Yanran's request; this "love" was a verb.

After she finished speaking, Nalan Yanran, who was so moved that she couldn't hold back her tears, could no longer resist and directly looked up and kissed Xiao Yan.

After a long, passionate kiss, Nalan Yanran finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Yan was so close to her, and said happily:

"Xiao Yan, I love you."

Nalan Yanran's confession was like a signal to start a war. Xiao Yan smiled gently and then unleashed the Great Heaven Creation Palm, which was adept at disrobing.

In the flickering candlelight, two figures gradually overlapped, rising and falling like waves...

The next morning, the morning light streamed through the windows of the Sect Leader Main Hall, illuminating Nalan Yanran's serene sleeping face.

Xiao Yan had already woken up and was lying on his side beside her, gently stroking her loose hair with his fingertips, gazing tenderly at her pretty face.

Although they had been intimate for a long time last night, he was careful to maintain the proper boundaries. After Nalan Yanran fainted, he used his Dou Qi to nourish her meridians and his Heavenly Flames to temper her Dou Qi, helping her to stabilize her initial Dou Zun realm.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran's internal Dou Qi flowed smoothly and her breath was long and steady, indicating that she had completely stabilized her realm.

"Hmm..." Nalan Yanran's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, meeting Xiao Yan's smiling gaze. Her cheeks flushed instantly, but she still instinctively snuggled closer into his arms. "Good morning, my husband."

"Good morning." Xiao Yan lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "How do you feel?"

Nalan Yanran shifted her body, still feeling a little pain, and said shyly:

"I'm still feeling a little unwell, but I'm much better than yesterday."

At this point, she stole a glance at Xiao Yan, then blushed and said:

"Husband, um... I feel that dual cultivation might be beneficial to my injuries, so why don't we continue?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Um?

Is it good for the injury?

Nonsense!

This is pure addiction!

However, having just woken up, he was at his most energetic, so since Nalan Yanran wanted it, he could only give it to her!

"In that case, I'll have to give you a proper treatment!"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, then pulled Nalan Yanran into his arms and began doing morning exercises.

Half an hour later, the two finished their morning exercises and leisurely took a bath and changed clothes. The hot water in the bathtub was so comfortable that they couldn't resist playing another game.

After finally washing herself clean, Nalan Yanran helped Xiao Yan change his clothes. During their physical contact, she became aroused again, and it was time for another round.

And so, game after game, one after another, another day passed.

The next day, Nalan Yanran, having achieved a Grand Slam, was physically and mentally exhausted and temporarily unable to continue her intimate relationship with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was finally able to extricate himself and head to the Imperial Capital to find his Sister Ya Fei and teacher Yun'er.

Returning to the Imperial Capital once again, Xiao Yan felt a stronger sense of homecoming. Although in his memory, Wutan City was the home that held many childhood memories, Ya Fei was there in the Imperial Capital, waiting for him. Home is where someone is waiting.

Of course, because of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, his return to the Misty Cloud Sect is practically like going home.

Even though he was already with Nalan Yanran, he still didn't really consider the Nalan Mansion his home. His past pretentious complaints about his relationship with Nalan Yanran were actually partly due to his dissatisfaction with the Nalan Mansion.

Such a hesitant and indecisive approach to things is truly disliked.

However, Xiao Yan did not expect that as soon as he entered the skies above the Imperial Capital, nine ice dragons bared their fangs and claws and attacked him.

But Xiao Yan remained calm. After briefly sensing the familiar aura above, he simply stood still.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was completely still, the spellcaster was obviously a little confused. He quickly controlled the ice dragons to turn around, and in the end, the nine ice dragons narrowly missed Xiao Yan. The huge dragon bodies flew by, bringing a strong gust of cold wind that swept across Xiao Yan's cheek.

Hmm, it's quite cool.

Xiao Yan smiled, looked at Hai Bodong in the ice-blue robe in front of him, and cupped his hands in a smile, saying:

"Haha, Elder Hai's Mystic Ice Dou Qi is truly becoming more and more refined!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's smiling face, Hai Bodong helplessly dispelled the ice dragon, stepped into the void and arrived in front of Xiao Yan. After carefully examining him, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Just standing in front of you makes this old man's heart pound. With your ability to conceal your aura, you still manage to make this old man feel this way. It seems that your physical strength has reached a terrifying level! No wonder you dared to stand still without flinching just now. I'm afraid that even if I used all my strength, I could only help you cool off from the heat."

Hearing Hai Bodong's words, Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised. Elder Hai's eyesight and judgment were truly getting better with age, as he had so easily determined that his physical body had been greatly improved.

It should be noted that even Nalan Yanran, who is a Dou Zun, could only experience the strength of his physical body through her unbearable battles.

Elder Hai is only Dou Zong, yet he was able to make such an accurate judgment upon first meeting me; it is truly admirable.

"As expected of Elder Hai, you saw through that. Not bad, I can now fight against Dou Zun expert with just my physical body."

Xiao Yan nodded and praised.

"Hahaha, to be addressed as Elder Hai by our Dou Zun Alliance Leader, I've certainly gained enough face."

Seeing that Xiao Yan was still as humble as before, Hai Bodong laughed heartily, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder hard, and looked at his close junior with great satisfaction.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said seriously:

"Leaving aside the fact that you are Ya Fei's teacher and an elder in the clan, the help you have given to this young man over the years is something that Elder Hai believes you deserve, no matter how high Xiao Yan rises."

Hearing Xiao Yan's sincere words, Hai Bodong was stunned. After a long while, he awkwardly turned his head away, blinked, and feigned helplessness, saying:

"Tsk, this sudden emotional outburst is giving this old man goosebumps. No wonder you can charm so many women. Even Queen Medusa became more virtuous after following you. Back then, she was... well, it's kind of embarrassing to think about."

Seeing Hai Bodong deliberately change the subject to hide his flustered emotions, Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly. This old man is quite interesting.

"Alright, go and keep Ya Fei company. I don't have anything else to do here, I just wanted to say hello since you're back."

Seeing Xiao Yan's slightly upturned lips, Hai Bodong felt a little embarrassed and quickly waved his hand to shoo him away.

Xiao Yan, knowing when to stop, ceased teasing the old man and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying:

"Then I'll have to excuse myself for now. I'll come find you for a drink later."

Hai Bodong then feigned impatience and said:

"Alright, alright, get lost. Otherwise, that girl Ya Fei will blame me for disturbing her rendezvous with her lover."

Xiao Yan laughed heartily, cupped his hands in greeting again, and bowed as he headed towards the Xiao Mansion in the Imperial Capital city below.

Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Hai Bodong wiped his moist eyes and muttered:

"After all, he's getting old and easily moved. He actually managed to touch this kid's heart. Luckily, the old monster Jia Xingtian is currently in seclusion, otherwise he would have been laughing at him for two and a half years."

After muttering to himself, Hai Bodong laughed again:

"But this kid is really good. If he becomes Dou Sheng Expert in the future, he can still call me Elder Hai... Hehe, just thinking about it is awesome!"

In high spirits, Hai Bodong also bent down and landed on the Mite'er Manor. Although he quickly regained his cold and aloof expression, the smile that could be seen even with the corners of his mouth turned down made many members of the Mittel Family secretly gasp.

They all saw the two exchanging words in the sky. Some sharp-eyed people could naturally recognize that the one who could make Elder Hai so happy was none other than their son-in-law, the leader of the Yan Alliance.

Immediately afterwards, the maids serving Great Elder Mittel Teng Shan heard Hai Bodong's words, which couldn't hide his smugness:

"Teng Shan, how did you know that Xiao Yan was going to invite me for drinks?"

Mittel Teng Shan: "?"

At the same time, Xiao Yan, who had already entered the Xiao Mansion, rubbed his hands together, made hand seals, and used his Heavenly Flames to cleanse his entire body, leaving no trace of Nalan Yanran's scent, before heading towards his own Young Clan Head's Courtyard.

Although he had made quite a commotion with Hai Bodong, Ya Fei didn't rush out to greet him. She had obviously guessed what mischief he had been up to in the Misty Cloud Sect these past few days. He would probably have to put in a lot of effort and sweat before Ya Fei would be satisfied and understand his hardships.
