Public Displays of Affection and the Furious Ice Venerable

"Xiao, Xiao Yan?"

Even with the facts right before her eyes, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes still held a deep sense of disbelief.

She even wondered at one point if she was dreaming.

"No way? It's been so long, you don't recognize me anymore? Or are you thinking you're dreaming?"

Xiao Yan's voice carried a hint of teasing.

However, Xiao Yan didn't expect that Xiao Yi Xian actually thought that way!

However, as his words fell, Xiao Yi Xian finally confirmed that the person she was seeing was the one she had been longing for!

"Xiao Yan, it really is you!"

The joy in his voice was almost impossible to conceal!

Xiao Yi Xian never expected that after arriving in Central Plains, her first time leaving the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace would result in her encountering Xiao Yan!

"Could this be fate?"

Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but ask herself this question in her mind.

Thinking of the determination she had once made, her heart suddenly started beating faster.

"Who else could it be but me?"

Xiao Yan had no idea what kind of decision Xiao Yi Xian had made; he just felt that Xiao Yi Xian had suddenly become a little strange.

As for what was strange, he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

"No, I meant, why are you here?"

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yi Xian quickly suppressed the somewhat embarrassing thoughts that were on her mind.

However, the excitement in her expression was still hard to hide!

"Well, I happened to see you and another girl being taken away by people from Ice River Valley in Frost Whisper City earlier, and I also heard from passersby that you had just had a conflict with the people from Ice River Valley, so I was worried and came over."

Xiao Yan said this.

"Oh? Is it because you're worried?"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyebrows were slightly lowered; who knows what she was thinking?

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback.

Whether he suddenly had an epiphany or not, he continued, "Of course, it's not just for that reason. It's been so long since we parted ways in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, of course I've wanted to see you."

Xiao Yan spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Sure enough, after Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian's lips curled up slightly, showing that she was in a very good mood.

Thinking of her and worrying about her are two different things!

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yi Xian, why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye and come to Central Plains alone? Didn't we agree that after I graduated from the Jia Nan Academy and you improved your strength to a certain level, we would come to Central Plains together to explore?"

For some reason, Xiao Yi Xian seemed to detect a hint of grievance in Xiao Yan's words?

However, that makes sense. Strictly speaking, Xiao Yan was essentially stood up by Xiao Yi Xian.

"Hmm~, that's because..."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Xiao Yi Xian subconsciously tucked a strand of gray hair behind her ear.

At the same time, her previously excited expression suddenly turned to one of worry.

Although Xiao Yi Xian didn't say it aloud, her actions had already allowed Xiao Yan to guess what she was thinking.

"Oh, silly, why would I care about something like that?"

Xiao Yan was speechless.

He now realized that Xiao Yi Xian had been deliberately avoiding him, which was why she hadn't gone to him and had come to Central Plains alone.

Is he the kind of person who would care about such trivial things?

And, to be fair, cough cough, the white-haired Xiao Yi Xian has a unique charm, doesn't she?

Xiao Yan's slightly perverse hobby was also revealed.

This is exactly what Xiao Lin guessed!

Although Xiao Yi Xian had been mentally prepared for Xiao Yan's answer, she still breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Sure enough, she had been worrying unnecessarily all along!

Come to think of it, how could Xiao Yan, who could capture her heart, be such a superficial person?

Grandpa Xiao was right after all!

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian's knot in her heart was completely untied.

"Furthermore, if you really care, Xiao Yi Xian, I already have a way to resolve the problem of the Woeful Poison Body Aftereffects flaring up in your body."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan subconsciously reached out and tucked a strand of white hair from Xiao Yi Xian's temple behind her ear.

This somewhat intimate gesture startled Xiao Yi Xian, and her face immediately turned bright red.

However, she not only showed no sign of resistance, but also felt secretly pleased.

However, the intimate interaction between Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian after their long-awaited reunion left Ice Venerable speechless.

That person is going too far; they are truly going too far in bullying people!

Xiao Yan's sudden intrusion had actually made Ice Venerable extremely wary.

Because he already struggled against Xiao Yi Xian alone, and now with the unknown Xiao Yan added to the mix, do you think Ice Venerable would dare to be careless?

Therefore, after Xiao Yan appeared, the Ice Venerable was actually on guard against the two of them.

Even when he saw the two whispering to each other, he assumed they were discussing how to deal with him.

This is also why the Ice Venerable did not act rashly earlier.

However, as he remained vigilant, he suddenly sensed that something was increasingly amiss...

It wasn't until Xiao Yan made the gesture of tidying Xiao Yi Xian's temples that the Ice Venerable finally realized what was happening.

It turns out the two of them weren't discussing how to deal with him at all; they were just showing off their affection in front of him!

At that moment, the Ice Venerable almost had a stroke from anger!

Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

Then don't blame him for being ruthless!

"Boy, I don't know who you are, and I don't care who you are! But since you've trespassed into my Ice River Valley today and dared to ruin my plans, be prepared to leave your life here!"

"Boom"

As the Ice Venerable finished speaking, his aura erupted once again.

Furthermore, the aura that erupted from it has surpassed the Peak Four-Star Dou Venerable and reached the level of a five-star!

Clearly, the Ice Venerable had activated his Acquired Calamity Poison Body in a fit of anger.

At the same time, the black snowflake mark between his eyebrows could be seen melting away at a visible speed.

Not only that, even his originally jet-black hair had turned a pale white, similar to that of Xiao Yi Xian.

This is what the Ice Venerable looks like after activating his Acquired Calamity Poison Body.

Looking at the Ice Venerable in this state, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

Although she had some ideas in mind, now was clearly not the time to put them into practice.

As for why the Ice Venerable didn't activate his Acquired Calamity Poison Body earlier...

The reason is simple: it had no effect on Xiao Yi Xian, who possessed the Innate Calamity Poison Body.

In other words, to Xiao Yi Xian, Ice Venerable was just a Four-Star Dou Venerable powerhouse.

But now that Xiao Yan has joined the fray, the Ice Venerable's Acquired Calamity Poison Body has finally found a place to shine!
