Farewell to the Four Women, Return to the Central Plains

In response to the Master of Devouring's question, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said:

"Besides the Bodhi Ancient Tree, I can't think of anything else on the Dou Qi Continent that could possess both such immense vitality and such profound reincarnation power."

Xiao Yan's affirmative answer caused the Master of Devouring to fall into deep thought.

Although he had never seen the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree when he was on the Tianxuan Continent, he had heard his teacher, the Symbol Ancestor it.

The Symbol Ancestor once said that if the Tianxuan Continent could possess the Bodhi Ancient Tree, many geniuses would be able to use its power to break through the barrier between life and death, directly enter the Wheel-Turning Realm, and even be guaranteed to become Reincarnation Realm experts in the future!

If one can obtain the opportunity to meditate under the Bodhi tree and undergo Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, it will be of great benefit to one's future Reincarnation Tribulation.

I never expected to hear about the Bodhi Ancient Tree in this Dou Qi Continent, and even see the Reincarnation Seal created by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

It's really quite ironic how fate works.

"It seems we need to find a way to locate this Bodhi Ancient Tree."

After a moment of contemplation, the Master of Devouring spoke.

"It's probably going to be difficult to find..."

Xiao Yan frowned. If he didn't show himself, he really wouldn't have any way to deal with this thing.

After all, he remembered that the Bodhi Ancient Tree should be deep underground, only emerging for a period of time at a certain time.

"Should we send someone to keep an eye on things in the Ancient Wasteland Region?"

Nalan Yanran, who had secretly woken up, snuggled into Xiao Yan's arms at some point and suddenly asked a question.

She naturally knew where the Bodhi Ancient Tree was, after all, she had once received one of the Bodhi Seed that Xiao Yan had given to the Flower Sect.

If it weren't for that Bodhi Seed, she estimated that she would never have been able to advance to the Dou Sheng level in her previous life.

"It's still early."

Xiao Yan put his arm around Nalan Yanran and shook his head.

He certainly knew that the Bodhi Ancient Tree would appear in the Ancient Wasteland Region, but even so, he couldn't be sure when it would appear. Sending Bodhi Ancient Tree too early would undoubtedly be a waste of his resources.

"However, Yanran, I think since the Reincarnation Seal on your body is related to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, you should have sensed something when the Bodhi Ancient Tree is about to be born."

Xiao Yan then added with a smile.

Nalan Yanran nodded in agreement, agreeing with Xiao Yan's words and feeling a secret delight.

In this way, she could actually help Xiao Yan, so her second life wouldn't have been in vain.

"Yes, I'll keep an eye out. I'll let you know immediately if I sense anything."

Nalan Yanran quickly replied.

"Okay, sure."

Xiao Yan smiled and stroked her cheek, nodding gently.

"Alright, Brother Yan, you keep an eye on this for me. I won't stand on ceremony with you."

The Master of Devouring also said with a smile.

"Brother, rest assured. Even without your entrustment, I would still keep an eye on this Bodhi Ancient Tree. After all, it is my opportunity to become a saint, and I cannot afford to neglect it."

Xiao Yan said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the Master of Devouring merely smiled, then his figure transformed into a streak of black light and returned to Xiao Yan's brow. He then directly entered the Devouring Divine Temple within the deepest part of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Now that he had hope of returning to the Tianxuan Continent, he planned to rest and recuperate, continuing to restore his spiritual power, striving to break through to the Divine Palace Realm when he was resurrected!

By then, he believed he would be able to fight his exceptionally talented junior sister to a draw!

In this way, he would have absolute confidence in facing the Heavenly King Hall!

Moreover, he heard Xiao Yan say that there was another magical flame on the Dou Qi Continent called the Nihility Devouring Flame, which ranked second on the so-called list of Heavenly Flames!

If he could obtain this Heavenly Flames, it might enhance the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol that he already possessed.

This will definitely greatly enhance his combat power, which is obviously a good thing for him. After all, those kinds of Alien Demon are really not easy to deal with without some special methods.

However, I've heard that this Nihility Devouring Flame has developed intelligence comparable to humans, and its strength is roughly equivalent to that of a powerful being who has survived Triple Reincarnation Tribulation. With his current abilities, he really can't deal with that thing.

Ultimately, the key is to return to the Tianxuan Continent and be resurrected.

Of course, he also knew that Xiao Yan could not easily leave the Dou Qi Continent for too long, so the specific actions to take at that time would depend on the specific circumstances.

"Now that the Bodhi Ancient Tree matter has come to this, I can no longer indulge in your gentle embrace. I plan to set off immediately and return to Central Plains!"

Xiao Yan sensed the soul fluctuations of the Master of Devouring, which had subsided, and after a moment, he raised his head and looked at the women.

Upon hearing this, Hua She'er and Yue Mei visibly showed reluctance on their faces.

After all, they had just consummated their marriage with Xiao Yan and were in the prime of their lives. As snake women, they naturally had a strong sexual appetite. Now that their husbands were leaving, they would no longer be able to use the back scratchers that relieved their itch, which was truly heartbreaking.

Moreover, they felt sorry for Xiao Yan, who had to travel around at such a young age, and were naturally very reluctant to let him go.

Nalan Yanran already knew that Xiao Yan would leave, but she didn't plan to go with him.

She still held the same opinion: she wanted to humbly learn from Sister Ya Fei!

Help Xiao Yan stabilize the rear.

After all, Queen Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian couldn't possibly stay, and Teacher Yun Yun would most likely be going to Central Plains with her husband. As a result, the only Yan Alliance Dou Zun expert who could stay in the Jia Ma Empire Nalan Yanran.

Therefore, she had to stay.

Stay here to help Sister Ya Fei, stay here to take care of the Xiao Family, and protect Uncle Xiao!

She knew all too well how much pain Xiao Yan had endured after Xiao Zhan was captured by the Soul Hall in his previous life.

With Nalan Yanran by my side in this life, I will definitely help my husband protect his family!

As for the people of the Soul Hall?

Hmph, Nalan Yanran is no delicate young lady of the Nalan Mansion. She is the current sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect and the Flower Sect Leader in her previous life. She has plenty of strength and means. Now that she has unlocked the Reincarnation Seal, if she is really pushed to the limit, she will risk her life to forcibly inherit the strength of her previous life. Even if this may cause considerable damage to her foundation, she will not hesitate!

Only family members from the Nalan Mansion?

Please, the Soul Hall wouldn't even look down on a force like the Nalan Mansion that doesn't even have a Dou Zong expert.

They are safe because they don't deserve to be taken seriously at all.

As for whether thinking this way might hurt them too much?

Sunnyma's head!

After learning about the Nalan Mansion's foolish behavior, Nalan Yanran was truly exhausted!

She didn't expect the Nalan Mansion to be of any help, but at least they shouldn't hold her back, right?

It's so stressful.

She even took her teacher Yun Yun to the Xiao Family to try and improve Xiao Yan's favorability beforehand, and she even begged Xiao Yan to treat Nalan Jie. But the Nalan Mansion still hasn't repaired its relationship with the Xiao Family.

There's no hope for them.

Nalan Su is incompetent, Nalan Jie is unrighteous. It seems that I, Nalan Yanran, must step forward!

As for Ya Fei, she remained the person Xiao Yan trusted most, managing all affairs in the rear, and naturally, she wouldn't leave with him.

Therefore, the only ones who will be returning to Central Plains with Xiao Yan this time are Queen Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Lan, and Yun Yun.

"Sister Hua, Sister Yue, the matters concerning the Snake-Person Tribe still require your continued attention. However, we are all family now, so please feel free to contact Sister Ya Fei if you need anything. There's no need to be polite. I am currently burdened with heavy responsibilities and cannot be by your side often, but I promise that I will return to be with you after these troubles are resolved."

Seeing the reluctance on the faces of the two snake-woman sisters, Xiao Yan gently comforted them.

Hua She'er and Yue Mei were naturally aware of Xiao Yan's current situation, so they didn't really have any complaints; they were simply reluctant to part with their lover.

But they were all mature women, and naturally wouldn't be as willful as young girls. They simply nodded gently, and despite their reluctance, they still kindly offered words of advice:

"My husband, please be careful while you're out there working hard."

"Don't worry, my husband, we'll be at home waiting for you to come back."

Ya Fei then stepped forward, disregarding Nalan Yanran who was still in Xiao Yan's arms, and kissed Xiao Yan's lips directly.

There was no lingering kiss, just a simple farewell kiss, lips touching, leaving behind each other's warmth and breath.

"Little brother Xiao Yan, your sister is waiting for you to come back."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

"Sister Ya Fei, you're going to have to work hard again."

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei simply covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Your sister is your woman, so it's only right that she works hard for you. But when you come back next time, you'll have to make it up to her and reward her properly!"

Her smile was charming and captivating, and her voice was melodious and pleasant, concealing a trace of sorrow at parting beneath her lighthearted and cheerful words.

Xiao Yan could see the reluctance in Ya Fei's heart, but he felt the same way. After all, Sister Ya Fei was his first woman, and she was destined to hold a special place in his heart.

Moreover, over the years, Ya Fei has worked tirelessly to manage many affairs of the Yan Alliance for him, and her contributions are immense. How could he not love her?

Although Ya Fei's current cultivation level and her epic-level enhanced cultivation talent meant she was destined to remain forever young, in Xiao Yan's eyes, Ya Fei's youth had been almost entirely dedicated to him. This made him feel both love and guilt towards Ya Fei.

However, many emotions are not easy to express, so they can only be deeply suppressed in the heart and kept in the mind.

"Yes, I definitely won't let Sister Ya Fei down."

Xiao Yan smiled brightly and said earnestly.

Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, Ya Fei's smile deepened. He truly was the man she had loved for two lifetimes. No matter what he did or said, she felt happy and content.

"My husband..."

Nalan Yanran spoke somewhat timidly. Her older sisters were all very sensible, so she really couldn't act like a little girl and whine.

Although she was a reborn person, she still couldn't quite play the role of a sensible and understanding older sister in front of Xiao Yan. After hesitating for a moment, she could only continue to play the obedient little wife and said softly:

"I also plan to stay and help Sister Ya Fei develop the Yan Alliance, but after this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again."

At this point, Nalan Yanran's mood was clearly somewhat downcast. Even after going through many trials and tribulations, she was still a young girl when it came to matters of the heart!

Okay, the main reason she's doing this is to differentiate herself from the competition. If she were as sensible as her older sisters, she wouldn't have an advantage!

Moreover, she did this not only for herself, but also for all her sisters.

After all, there were some things Xiao Yan was saying to her, but also to all his older sisters. However, since his older sisters couldn't be too clingy, it was up to her, the little sister, to be the clingy one.

"Yanran, it's good that you're willing to stay. You and Ya Fei know about my situation. Although the Jia Ma Empire is relatively safe so far, I still have some concerns. But with you staying, I can feel more at ease."

To be honest, Xiao Yan had never seen Nalan Yanran act like a sensible older sister before. He wasn't surprised by Nalan Yanran behavior at this moment. Comforting his woman was no difficult task for him; it was just a matter of saying a few sincere words. How difficult could that be?

"Whether you stay by my side or remain here, it will never shake your place in my heart. Whether you accompany me on my journeys or protect my home front, I know it's all an expression of your love for me, and I will love you as much as you love me. However, I still want to say thank you."

As he spoke, Xiao Flame Master to kiss the cheeks of Nalan Yanran, Ya Fei, Hua She'er, and Yue Mei.

His eyes were full of earnestness and love.

He genuinely liked these women who were truly good to him.

This is actually a very normal thing. After all, any normal person would be moved by someone's sincerity.

Moreover, all of these women in front of him are deeply in love with him.

Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't let them down.

"Alright, Yanran, since you've decided to stay, then you should help Ya Fei develop the Yan Alliance. Perhaps in the future, the Yan Alliance's power can be expanded to the Central Plains under your leadership!"

Yun Yun smiled and encouraged her.

"Yes, teacher, I will try my best!"

Nalan Yanran also said with a smile.

"The Snake-Person Tribe are now in your hands."

Queen Medusa, unusually, took the initiative to hold the hands of the two young ladies, Hua She'er and Yue Mei. Instead of displaying her usual Medusa majesty, she seemed more like an older sister instructing her two younger sisters.

She changed a lot after being with Xiao Yan.

"Don't worry, sister, we're here with the Snake-Person Tribe, there won't be any problems!"

Hua She'er and Yue Mei also spoke in unison.

Since becoming sisters, they no longer addressed Medusa as "Your Medusa" in private, but instead called her "elder sister."

Of course, when holding meetings within the Snake-Person Tribe, one must still address them as "Your Majesty," while at work, one must use their official title!

Xiao Yi Xian then took Ya Fei's hand and said goodbye.

As the final moments drew to a close, the sorrow of parting filled their eyes, and the girls' eyes all reddened. Xiao Yan felt a lump in his throat, gritted his teeth, and with a flick of his sleeve, he enveloped Queen Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, Xiao Lan, tearing through space and swiftly departing.

The only downside to having too many women is that Xiao Yan can't stand it if they all cry together.
