A Search Spanning Ten Million Years

"Was that little pervert going to get lucky again?"

Yun Yun did not know what she was thinking, but her face gradually flushed red. The passion of that day seemed to echo through her mind once more. Biting her lip, she looked at Xiao Fan... Yun Yun was still struggling inwardly.

Xiao Fan was not faring well either. Once he realized Xiao Yi Xian had made this poison, he understood that it was not something he could resolve...

Gradually, Xiao Fan found himself unable to think or remain calm. Worse still, there was a restless little purple-haired dragon girl squirming in his arms. "L-Little Yan'er, y-you... calm down..."

Xiao Fan's mind was a mess. The medicine acted on his body, and the steadily rising heat made his gaze grow unfocused...

Unlike Zi Yan, the medicine was stimulating Xiao Fan's nerves far more intensely...

Yun Yun actually felt a little pleased. Although Xiao Fan's personality had changed greatly in this life, this had not changed. Though Xiao Fan was still a little...

Yun Yun had not eaten the Blue Eagle earlier, so she was completely clear-headed. Yet seeing Xiao Fan suffer so terribly, her heart softened. "I'll take it as a reward for myself..."

Just as Yun Yun made up her mind and prepared to throw herself at Xiao Fan, another figure was faster and pounced on him first.

Dragons, by nature...

Stimulated by the medicine, Zi Yan only became more frenzied. Her love for Xiao Fan would only grow, never diminish. In her previous life, she had failed to obtain Xiao Fan. A thousand years of loneliness and desolation had piled up until she could no longer suppress the eruption...

Yun Yun stared blankly as a flash of light passed over Zi Yan. Before long, a soft, delicate body no weaker than Yun Yun's, with even more graceful curves, slowly appeared before her. Two strands of purple hair fell beside her temples. Her cool brows and eyes, exquisite features, and calm, intelligent bearing made her seem dignified and reserved—completely unlike the adorable little dragon girl from before.

At that moment, Zi Yan was utterly enchanting and seductive, mature and sexy. She pinned Xiao Fan beneath her so tightly that he was nearly unable to breathe.

Yun Yun finally recognized the person before her and blurted out, "D-Dragon Emperor..."

Zi Yan and Xiao Fan clearly paid no attention to the stunned Yun Yun. Xiao Fan held the delicate body in his arms tightly. Though it was only an embrace, it made him feel so safe...

"Xiao Fan... don't go..."

"I searched for you for a thousand years..."

"I sought you for ten thousand years..."

"This time... you're mine..."

Zi Yan had always suppressed herself, always hidden her feelings. Xiao Yu had as well, Xiao Yi Xian had as well, and Yun Yun had as well...

Even if she sensed that Xiao Fan's heart did not belong solely to her, she still restrained herself...

She only wanted to be a child who never grew up, always staying by Xiao Fan's side. Becoming the lofty Dragon Emperor, revered by countless people, still could not compare to the time she had spent with Xiao Fan.

Her love had clearly been carved into her bones. She was clearly the one who loved Xiao Fan the most...

"Xiao Fan!"

"I can get angry too!"

Zi Yan kissed the lips she had long wanted to claim, yet this Dragon Emperor who had lived for ten thousand years was as inexperienced as a young girl...

The first time, Xiao Fan had been unable to respond to Zi Yan,

But this time, Xiao Fan truly responded to Zi Yan.

Yet this was not Xiao Fan's intention. His body had begun to take control of his mind, and both his consciousness and vision were blurred.

This kiss was ultimately imperfect...

Two clear tears slid from Zi Yan's eyes. Her thoughts were in chaos at that moment. She remembered Xiao Fan's cold body. She remembered Xiao Fan turning into nothingness before her...

"Bad Xiao Fan, why... why did you still treat me like a child until the very end!"

"Xiao Fan, do you know how long I searched for you..."

"Xiao Fan!"

"I clearly like you too!"

Zi Yan bared her teeth and bit down hard on Xiao Fan's shoulder...

Only now did Yun Yun understand the true reason behind the Ancient Void Dragon clan's battle, and she also understood that her rebirth might not have been a mere coincidence. Could my love truly compare to hers?

Yun Yun's feelings were complicated. Watching the entwined pair, she recalled her own past...

"Perhaps I should give up some things too..."

"I should pursue my own life as well..."

Yun Yun left the cave that made her feel restless and came alone to its entrance. With confusion and dejection in her eyes, she looked in the direction of the Misty Cloud Sect...

Moisture and heat gradually spread through the air.

Choked sobs and soft murmurs continued without end.

When Xiao Fan opened his eyes again, his entire body was wrapped in bandages. There was even a little bow tied over his chest.

"Hiss... It hurts!"

Just as Xiao Fan tried to move, a feeling of being dislocated, swollen, and shattered surged through his entire body—from his arms to his waist, then down to his legs—leaving him in unbearable pain.

"Xiao Fan... you're awake."

Zi Yan avoided his gaze and sat obediently at the side.

"Little Yan'er, what happened?" Xiao Fan could only look at Zi Yan, who had lowered her head beside him, through the gaps in his bandages.

Xiao Fan's memories were hazy. He vaguely remembered only that "he had first eaten poisoned meat, and afterward... it felt as if countless small mountains had slammed into him back and forth. There was also... a strange taste in his mouth..."

Yet Xiao Fan did not dislike that strange taste. It even left a faint sweetness afterward?

"Little Yan'er, why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing Zi Yan remain silent, Xiao Fan asked again.

Zi Yan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Xiao Fan had no memory of what had happened earlier. Only then did she offer a clumsy explanation. "Sister Yun Yun said that Xiao Fan ate the wrong medicine and fell unconscious. Mm! It was all the medicine's fault!"

Zi Yan nodded firmly, seeming immensely satisfied with her answer.

Xiao Fan had just raised his hand, intending to give Zi Yan a chop on the head, but the waves of numbness in his arm forced him to abandon the idea.

He could only threaten her, "Tell me the truth, or I won't make Sugar Pills for you anymore!"

Zi Yan was deeply conflicted, rubbing her little hands together. Yet she was not conflicted over whether to tell Xiao Fan that she had done all this; she was wondering what exactly had been wrong with her earlier answer.

"It was all Sister Yun Yun's doing!"

Zi Yan lifted her little head and looked at Xiao Fan with an utterly serious expression.

"Sister Yun Yun?" Xiao Fan was somewhat confused. What exactly had happened while he was unconscious? Why had Zi Yan suddenly become so close to Yun Yun? Yet whenever he tried to remember, a swelling pain struck his head.

"Then where is she?" Xiao Fan pressed on through the pain.

Zi Yan lowered her head again, her pale little feet having already scraped shallow pits into the ground...

"Little Yan'er!" There was a trace of authority in Xiao Fan's voice as he hoped Zi Yan would tell the truth.

"Sister Yun Yun has already left. She said she was sorry for what happened this time, and that she would come find you once she had dealt with her sect's affairs..."

Xiao Fan felt that Zi Yan was still hiding something, and that it was something very important.

Zi Yan continued, "Also, also, Sister Yun Yun said you can't move around for at least three days. She was the one who treated your injuries and wrapped these bandages."

Xiao Fan could not imagine what exactly had happened while he was unconscious...
