The next day.
After Ya Fei took the Great Nirvana Pill and the Ice-Skin Jade-Bone Pill, she was enveloped in a ball of golden light that lasted until the following morning.
Xiao Yu stayed in the courtyard all night to guard her, but the golden sphere showed no sign of activity.
"Brother Xiao Yu!"
As Xiao Yu sat staring blankly at the stone table, a voice rang out.
The moment he heard it, he knew who it was. Who else could it be but that little girl Zi Yan?
A little girl in purple pushed open the courtyard gate and rushed inside, her large eyes sparkling as she looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu said rather helplessly, "Little one, what do you want now? Didn't I give you the Spirit-Gathering Array? Or have you run out of little pills?"
Her smiling face instantly fell. She stomped over and sat down in a huff, saying unhappily, "So all I am to you is a glutton who keeps pestering you and causing you trouble."
"Oh? So you know that too?"
Xiao Yu put on a surprised expression.
That look practically begged for a beating, and Zi Yan gritted her teeth at the sight. She immediately pounced on him, opened her little mouth, and bit him wherever she could.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"
"I'll bite you to death, you meanie!"
"Let go! Let go!"
"No!"
After a bout of laughing and roughhousing, Zi Yan finally stopped and sat beside Xiao Yu, looking at him with a broad smile.
Rubbing the places she had bitten, Xiao Yu sucked in a breath. Fortunately, his body had been tempered by pill lightning. Otherwise, Zi Yan would have bitten him black and blue.
"Go on, then. What did you come to see me for?"
