On the way to the Snake-People Tribe, Zi Yan chewed on the pills Xiao Fan had given her as compensation, strutting proudly ahead. Kai Jin followed behind her, leading the two men toward the tribe.
Upon seeing the benefactor who had saved his people, Kai Jin had initially approached Xiao Fan to thank him. But under Zi Yan's threatening gaze, he could only hang his head and let her ride on his back, temporarily abandoning any plans to talk to Xiao Fan.
After all, Big Sister Zi Yan's punches really hurt. The crystals covering the bodies of Amethyst Winged Lion Kings were utterly useless against her fists.
Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance. Seeing how furious Zi Yan was, both shrugged and dared not speak, especially Xiao Fan. After all, he had been the one to speak to Great Elder Su Qian and persuade him to entrust Zi Yan to his care on this trip.
Yet they had only made it halfway back before she was separated from him. First, she had rushed back to the Jia Ma Empire with Xiao Yan, and afterward, Xiao Fan had dumped her on You Ruo. No wonder Zi Yan was throwing such a fit.
Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan sitting on Kai Jin's back ahead of him, a trace of helplessness in his eyes. Luckily, she still had a child's temperament and held no grudges. A few pills were all it took to coax her into a good mood.
"Zi Yan, how was your time with Big Sister You Ruo?"
Looking at Zi Yan, Xiao Fan asked about You Ruo. With her strength as a Three-Star Dou Zong, he was not worried about her getting hurt or anything of the sort. He simply wanted to know how she was feeling.
