The next day.
Under the blazing sun, after a night of recovery, Murong Qianqian's overall condition had improved considerably. The miraculous power of the Emperor Grade Pill was indeed unparalleled.
At this moment, thanks to the recovery effect of the Emperor Grade Pill overnight, Murong Qianqian's injuries have healed much faster than they did during her month-long recovery in the hot spring. Murong Qianqian's overall strength has now recovered by at least 30%, which clearly demonstrates the terrifying power of the Emperor Grade Pill.
Of course, although the Emperor Grade Pill has been completely integrated into Murong Qianqian's body, the medicinal power contained in the pill has not been fully absorbed by Murong Qianqian. Therefore, in the next few days, as long as Murong Qianqian makes a little effort to fully activate the medicinal power in her body, it is believed that in no more than a week, Murong Qianqian's injuries will be able to recover to their peak.
And then, Xiao Yan will be able to leave this annoying girl behind.
With her injuries healed, Murong Qianqian did not miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of her good condition, she quickly sat up cross-legged and formed cultivation hand seals. As her internal energy circulated, streams of energy from heaven and earth rapidly converged on the girl.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan still fast asleep. Although it was almost noon, judging from his deep sleep, he probably wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
Unfortunately, the repeated depletion of his Spiritual Strength was something even Xiao Yan couldn't withstand. Only in his current state could he recover Xiao Yan depleted Spiritual Strength as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, deep within the Xilin Mountain Range, three figures were leaping through the air, heading directly towards where Xiao Yan was.
In the blink of an eye, another new day has arrived.
With his eyelids trembling slightly and his brows furrowed, Xiao Yan, who had been fast asleep, finally groggily awoke.
The moment Xiao Yan opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful young woman who had changed back into a long dress. Bathed in sunlight, she sat cross-legged on a blue stone, her fair hands forming cultivation hand seals. Her originally pale face regained its rosy hue, and her weak aura became more composed.
"Well..."
Shaking his head slightly in confusion, Xiao Yan stood up from the ground. A gentle breeze swept by, and Xiao Yan immediately felt refreshed, his sleepiness instantly vanishing.
Slightly raising his head, Xiao Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the refreshing air. His hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, slowly extended, then suddenly clenched into fists.
"Drink!"
He gave a low shout in his heart, and then Xiao Yan whole body suddenly trembled. Immediately, a series of cracking sounds of bones colliding came from all parts of Xiao Yan body.
Feeling the abundant Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. His gaze then shifted and landed on Murong Qianqian.
Although the girl was in a meditative state, as her injuries healed, she clearly sensed Xiao Yan's gaze directed at her.
Her long, narrow, beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and then, a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, like stars in the sky, met Xiao Yan and Yao Yao's gaze.
Their eyes met, but for some reason, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something. Their gazes only touched for a moment before Xiao Yan looked away first, and the latter, a complicated expression flashed across her fair face. She turned her bright eyes and looked elsewhere as well.
"Hehe, little guy, why are you hiding? When you were unconscious, you pounced on him without flinching. Now that you're out, what's the point of hiding? Feelings are best faced directly. It's just the two of you here, no one will bother you..."
Just as Xiao Yan shifted his gaze away, Gu You's teasing words suddenly came from the depths of Xiao Yan's heart. Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yan's face quickly turned bright red.
"Cough cough..."
After coughing awkwardly in his mind, Xiao Yan said to Gu You in an annoyed tone:
"I was completely out of it back then, how can you compare it to now? She clearly woke up before me. If I were still lying on top of her then, wouldn't that mean..."
"Hehe, don't worry. If she really wanted to kill you because you touched her body, she would have done it already. Didn't you notice that this little girl had already woken up while you were massaging her?"
"Forehead..."
Upon hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly hardened. At that moment, he was focused on helping Murong Qianqian neutralize the effects of the pill in her body, and had no time to care whether she was conscious or not.
But if what Gu You said is true, then wouldn't the fact that I massaged Murong Qianqian back then have all been seen by her...?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned bright red. He raised his gaze to look at Murong Qianqian, only to find that she was also looking at him. Immediately, Xiao Yan's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and he quickly said:
"That, that matter..."
"You don't need to say anything more. Just treat it as a dream, as if nothing ever happened."
However, before Xiao Yan could utter a word, Murong Qianqian Xiao Yan glanced at him with a slightly flushed face and said in a calm tone.
As the girl finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat heavy. Both of them looked around, their lips moving slightly, but they didn't know what else to say to ease the oppressive atmosphere.
However, just a short while later, Xiao Yan, who had been frowning helplessly, suddenly changed his expression. He turned around abruptly, raised his head, and looked at the western horizon behind him.
Xiao Yan could clearly sense that at this moment, there were three extremely powerful auras flying towards them at an extremely fast speed. He instantly recognized the owners of those three auras; they were none other than the three kings from the depths of the Xiao Yan Xilin Mountain Range.
Tian Ying, Yan Shi, and Xiong Gang!
Xiao Yan never expected that these three guys would actually chase him here. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Absolute Step has now reached the Great Perfection of the Wind Movement Realm, so he naturally has more confidence when facing these three.
But upon further reflection, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. He was indeed no longer afraid of these three, but the key issue was that Murong Qianqian Xiao Yan currently by his side, which was a real problem!
