Bodhi Ancient Tree
"I... don't know?"
Nalan Yanran was now filled with doubts. She had now wholeheartedly become Xiao Yan's woman, so naturally she wouldn't hide anything from Xiao Yan. Otherwise, if Xiao Yan became unhappy and stopped sleeping with her, wouldn't she be forced to live a life of celibacy?
She had just experienced that incredibly wonderful and captivating feeling; if Xiao Yan were to banish her to the cold palace like this, she might as well be dead.
Xiao Yan did not doubt Nalan Yanran. After all, he had already taken a shortcut to directly enter the depths of Nalan Yanran's heart, leaving behind a heart full of love. Now, Nalan Yanran was very well nourished by him and could no longer hide anything from him.
Therefore, the current situation is probably because Nalan Yanran's memories are not as complete as she thought.
This may be related to the origin of the Reincarnation Seal.
"It's alright, it doesn't matter if you don't know. I think you'll remember after you improve your strength a bit more."
Xiao Yan didn't make things difficult for Nalan Yanran. He smiled and gently ruffled Nalan Yanran hair, speaking softly.
Treated so gently by Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran immediately felt her confusion and unease subside. She relaxed like a cat enjoying its owner's caress, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Yun Yun, who was standing to the side, watched as her once proud disciple was turned into this state, and her eyes twitched slightly.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Nalan Yanran would actually show such an expression.
This is hardly a husband-wife relationship anymore; it's almost like a master-pet relationship.
To be honest, she felt that even though Nalan Yanran had become Xiao Yan's official fiancée and his woman, she was essentially the same person Nalan Yanran had told him about in their Three-Year Agreement in their previous life, the one she was willing to serve as a slave for after her defeat.
On the contrary, she, as a teacher, still has some authority in front of Xiao Yan. If she is unhappy or even angry, Xiao Yan will even take the initiative to "apologize" to her. Then she will take the opportunity to provoke him, saying something like "the teacher is going to punish you," and then she will hold Xiao Yan down and give him a lecture.
There was no way around it; this young man was just too pleasing to her.
In contrast, Nalan Yanran would never get angry with Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan even frowned when he was with her, she would wonder if she had done something wrong.
Looking at Nalan Yanran's improved appearance, Ya Fei's eyes revealed a faint smile. As a fellow reborn person, she knew about the things Nalan Yanran had done in her previous life. Seeing Nalan Yanran now clearly in a subordinate position in her relationship with Xiao Yan, she was in a very good mood.
After all, the suffering Xiao Yan endured in his previous life was entirely due to Nalan Yanran.
If it weren't for Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been able to go out to train at the age of sixteen, experiencing hardships and narrowly escaping death.
Later, they had no choice but to go to the Misty Cloud Sect, which nearly led to the extermination of the entire Xiao Family.
Later, she even caused Xiao Yan's mentor Old Yao, to be captured by the Soul Hall. She would never forget the look of Xiao Yan's eyes wide with rage as he dragged his heavily injured body to witness his mentor's arrest.
It's just that Nalan Yanran's performance in this life is not bad; otherwise, as Xiao Yan's first woman, he would have had to whisper in her ear and cause Nalan Yanran some trouble.
It could even be said that if she had truly decided not to let Nalan Yanran enter this family, Nalan Yanran would have had absolutely no chance of becoming one of Xiao Yan's fiancées.
Let her be a slave then!
Although she and Yun Yun had a good relationship, that was based on the fact that they were both Xiao Yan's women.
Although Nalan Yanran is Yun Yun's apprentice, Ya Fei will not give Nalan Yanran any special treatment because of Yun Yun.
Ya Fei was never a delicate young lady; she was a ruthless and powerful Empress of Gold!
If Nalan Yanran is ungrateful, she wouldn't mind telling Xiao Yan and her sisters about the things Nalan Yanran did in her past life and the chain reactions and ultimate consequences that resulted.
At that point, not to mention others, even Queen Medusa would not tolerate Nalan Yanran entering this house!
Not beating her to death is already showing respect to Yun Yun, her sister.
However, so far, Nalan Yanran's performance is fine, and she can even form a master-disciple or mother-daughter relationship with Yun Yun.
As long as Xiao Yan is happy.
Nalan Yanran, who was treated gently by Xiao Yan, finally breathed a sigh of relief after enjoying his head pat. However, she couldn't help but try to recall if she had really missed something.
At first, she just thought that she had suddenly been reborn one day, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she really doesn't remember why she was reborn. She has absolutely no memory of that.
She woke up one morning to find herself transported back in time, as if time had reversed.
But now she feels that's not the case.
One's own rebirth cannot be without reason.
What exactly happened?
A sense of urgency also rose in Nalan Yanran's heart at this moment.
It's not that she has any particular thoughts of her own, but mainly she can see that the reason for her rebirth plays a rather important role for Xiao Yan. If she can figure this out, Xiao Yan will definitely reward her handsomely!
"Brother Yan, if possible, I would like to examine your wife's Reincarnation Ring."
The Master of Devouring suddenly spoke.
Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over the pale blue reincarnation Reincarnation Ring bearing ancient emerald-green runes.
Sensing the faint signs of life within, Xiao Yan had an idea.
Could this thing mean...?
"Yanran, is it okay?"
Suppressing his thoughts, Xiao Yan asked Nalan Yanran for her opinion.
How could Nalan Yanran possibly have any objections?
She was enjoying Xiao Yan's warm embrace at the moment. If it weren't for the fact that her brother, Devourer, was still there, she would have already started to make some little moves in Xiao Yan's arms.
"It's alright. If it can help my husband and his brother, that would be even better."
She said it very obediently.
"Brother, since Yanran has no objections, let's give it a try."
Xiao Yan turned to look at the Master of Devouring and nodded.
Upon hearing this, the Master of Devouring also showed a faint smile, and didn't forget to offer a word of comfort:
"Don't worry, it's just a probe into the Reincarnation Ring; it won't have any impact on your sister-in-law."
Having said that, a jet-black spiritual force emerged in his palm, clearly indicating that the Master of Devouring had used the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
The next moment, the dark spiritual energy surged directly towards the pale blue Reincarnation Ring around Nalan Yanran, and the Master of Devouring's expression became extremely focused.
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then proactively released his soul power to attempt to probe the Reincarnation Ring.
After all, she was his woman, so he had to investigate what this Reincarnation Ring was all about.
In fact, perhaps because he obtained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, after being nurtured for a period of time, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi and soul power have gradually begun to show some characteristics related to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!
This also improved his efficiency when cultivating Dou Qi and soul power.
However, when Xiao Yan's soul power invaded the Reincarnation Ring, the first thing he felt was the increasingly obvious and powerful life force. But then, he realized that there was actually a fluctuation of reincarnation within this life force!
If the two appear in the same power, Xiao Yan's conjecture is becoming increasingly certain!
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the power of the Bodhi Ancient Tree!
Therefore, Nalan Yanran's rebirth might be related to the Bodhi Ancient Tree?
This might explain why she was able to directly advance to the Dou Zun after several years of secluded cultivation in the Forbidden Ground area of the Misty Cloud Sect, the Gate of Life and Death.
Perhaps even Nalan Yanran herself didn't realize that she didn't advance to the Dou Zun entirely because of the power within the Gate of Life and Death. Perhaps it was also because she recovered the strength of her previous life!
Having figured this out, Xiao Yan's heart was undoubtedly burning with excitement.
If that's the case, perhaps the Bodhi Ancient Tree can be of some help in our journey to the Tianxuan Continent!
That makes things quite interesting.
Perhaps he can go to the Tianxuan Continent ahead of schedule!
However, he first needed to ensure that his girlfriends on the Dou Qi Continent wouldn't have their entire clan wiped out by the Soul Clan.
Especially my two wonderful older sisters Ling Yanfei and Shi Xuanxuan.
One is beautiful enough to perfectly embody the spirit of the goddess Luo, and the other is a magnanimous, short-haired, and dashing woman with a wild and healthy figure.
We can't let their family be wiped out!
Having confirmed the power within the Reincarnation Seal, Xiao Yan, though unable to fully understand how Nalan Yanran became connected to the Bodhi Ancient Tree and was thus reborn, had enough.
Because he is now even more certain that the Bodhi Ancient Tree's abilities can be fully deduced, and he will be the best helper to eliminate the negative emotions of the Dou Emperor within it.
It's just that his current strength may not yet meet the requirements of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
He can now boldly assume that once his Dou Qi realm reaches the Eight-Star Dou Zun Peak, or even the Nine-Star Dou Zun, as in the original timeline, the Bodhi Ancient Tree will most likely appear ahead of schedule!
Compared to the enormous time span of a thousand years, a difference of a few years or a decade is really not a big deal.
If that's true, then he might become the youngest Dou Sheng Expert on the Dou Qi Continent before he turns twenty.
Once he advances to the Dou Sheng level, those Ancient Clans will surely have to take him seriously.
When the time comes, as long as he takes the lead in uniting the Ancient Clans, he can not only protect his girlfriends' families, but also use their power to protect his own side.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan withdrew his soul power and looked at the Master of Devouring was still probing.
Nalan Yanran stared longingly at Xiao Yan's profile, pursing her lips.
She really wanted to kiss him!
As for those messy things like the Reincarnation Seal, Reincarnation Ring, and Reincarnator, let my husband handle them!
As long as she could be with Xiao Yan forever, she didn't care about anything else.
A moment later, the Master of Devouring finally finished its probe and turned to look at Xiao Yan.
"Brother Yan, although the power within this Reincarnation Ring is not abundant, its source may be an existence even more powerful than myself."
A hint of solemnity appeared in the Master of Devouring's eyes.
In his perception, the power of reincarnation contained in those emerald green runes was probably not as strong as that even if his junior sister, the Ice Master, had successfully reincarnated.
That was a power almost comparable to that of his teacher, the Symbol Ancestor.
In the terms of the Dou Qi Continent, that's a power that only a Dou Emperor Realm could possess!
Even considering that the Dou Qi Continent does not cultivate the power of reincarnation, even Dou Imperial Capital does not possess such power.
The existence of such a being on the Dou Qi Continent was, of course, a great thing for him.
This means that he has found the way back to the Tianxuan Continent.
An being capable of actively granting others the power of reincarnation might be able to construct a passage to the Tianxuan Continent.
"Hmm, I have some ideas. Brother, could you find a way to help Yanran put away this Reincarnation Ring?"
Xiao Yan nodded, looking at Nalan Yanran's expression with its own special effects, and couldn't help but ask.
While this appearance did indeed give Nalan Yanran more regal and goddess-like aura, if the Soul Hall heard about it, wouldn't they immediately arrest her?
After all, she was his woman, so Xiao Yan still protected her.
"What's so difficult about that? Can't you do it yourself?"
As he spoke, the Master of Devouring gestured with his chin toward Xiao Yan.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan understood the Master of Devouring's meaning.
Then he reached out and pointed a finger at the Reincarnation Seal between Nalan Yanran's eyebrows. With a surge of soul power, he suppressed the Reincarnation Seal.
Then the Reincarnation Ring on Nalan Yanran's body disappeared. However, as the Reincarnation Ring and Reincarnation Seal disappeared, a feeling of exhaustion also surged into Nalan Yanran's mind. Immediately, her head tilted to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yan used his soul power to sense Nalan Yanran and, after confirming that her vital signs were normal, he felt relieved and handed her directly to Yun Yun.
Yun Yun and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and instantly understood his meaning. She carried Nalan Yanran to the bed next to her so that she could rest well, and then returned to Xiao Yan's side. All the women looked at Xiao Yan, obviously wanting to know what had happened.
"I suspect that the Reincarnation Seal on Yanran's body is related to the Bodhi Ancient Tree."
Xiao Yan didn't intend to hide it from his women, so he didn't send them away to have a private chat with the Master of Devouring, and went straight to the point.
"Bodhi Ancient Tree?"
Apart from Xiao Yi Xian, who had studied with Old Yao for several years with Xiao Yan, the other girls all looked puzzled.
They clearly didn't know what Bodhi Ancient Tree was.
However, to Xiao Yan's surprise, the Master of Devouring also spoke up in astonishment after hearing his words:
"Brother Yan, is it really Bodhi Ancient Tree?"
