The Gathering of the Six Clans

"Xun'er, I'm sorry. The Soul Clan's offensive is growing fiercer by the day. If Hun Tiandi wants to gather all eight pieces of the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, he certainly will not give up the one held by our Xiao Tribe. Since he cannot find the Xiao Tribe Grounds, the Star Realm where I am has become his target."

"Hun Tiandi has already begun moving against the Ling Clan. It is hard to say that his next target will not be the Four Square Pavilions and Sky Mansion. Until the Soul Clan is destroyed, I cannot rest easy, nor do I have the heart to consider marriage."

"After the Soul Clan is wiped out, I will marry you in grand style. Just give me some time, all right? Give me ten years—no, how about eight years?"

Xiao Yan held the beauty in his arms and spoke apologetically.

Xun'er suddenly raised a cool, slender hand and covered her beloved's mouth. Smiling gently, she said, "No, Brother Xiao Yan, you misunderstand Xun'er."

"Xun'er does not need ten years, nor eight years. Even twenty years would be fine. We Dou Sheng have lifespans of over a thousand years. Xun'er is not in a hurry at all."

"Xun'er believes you can destroy the Soul Clan. I only do not want you to push yourself too hard. The more you force yourself, the more likely you are to take desperate risks, and that would be even more dangerous. I only worry about your safety. Brother Xiao Yan, promise Xun'er, all right?"

Xun'er's exquisitely beautiful face was full of pleading as she waited for Xiao Yan's answer.

"Hehe, all right. I promise you."

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, then smiled softly. Almost unconsciously, he pulled the petite beauty in his arms closer against him.
