Having figured this out, Tian Ying couldn't help but feel a chill at Murong Qianqian's thoughts. Everyone said that his little devil was mindless and only knew how to cause trouble, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all!
Of course, while Tian Ying thought of this, he did not expect that, although he had roughly guessed Murong Qianqian's thoughts, there was still one more layer that he had not anticipated.
Beautiful women are drawn to heroes. Xiao Yan's repeated rescues and his previous actions subtly stirred up a complex mix of emotions in Murong Qianqian's heart, emotions she herself was perhaps unaware of.
During the tedious journey, Xiao Yan remained calm, his gaze occasionally drifting to the distant horizon as he pondered something. Meanwhile, the young girl was completely unaware of how many times she had looked at Xiao Yan with each glance back.
Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged in the face of Tian Ying's words, but in his heart, he was overjoyed. However, the next moment, Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan turned, and before he could speak, Murong Qianqian in front of him suddenly plummeted rapidly towards the mountain range below.
Upon seeing this, the others were momentarily stunned. Xiao Yan Xiao Yan regained his senses, and with a change in expression, he leaped forward, instantly unleashing the Heavenly Severing Steps. With a sharp whooshing sound, Xiao Yan's body flashed like an arrow piercing the clouds, swiftly appearing in front of the girl.
Only then did the three Sky Tian Ying above come to their senses. They saw the familiar mountains and forests below, and Xiao Yan, who had already appeared in front of the girl. The words that were on the tip of their tongues were swallowed back down the next moment.
Seeing the girl's delicate body falling rapidly, Xiao Yan frowned, feeling puzzled. The girl had clearly refined the pill, so why was she falling from the void?
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward and caught the rapidly falling girl in his arms.
This scene caused the three people in the sky to twitch their lips in disbelief.
"Ah!"
Feeling the gentle and tender body in his arms, Xiao Yan didn't even have time to check the girl's injuries when she suddenly let out a scream. Her delicate body struggled in Xiao Yan, and she quickly broke free. Then, she glared at Xiao Yan with her eyebrows raised, her pretty face flushed red.
"You scoundrel! What do you think you're doing?!"
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned. Judging from the girl's appearance just now, she had clearly collapsed and fallen, so how could she have recovered so quickly...?
While wondering what was going on, Xiao Yan glanced around and realized that he was in front of a cave with its doors tightly shut. If he descended just half a foot, he would land on the stone platform in front of the cave.
As for this cave dwelling, Xiao Yan found that it was built halfway up a majestic mountain. From the front of the cave dwelling, one could see the sunrise and sunset all day long, and overlook most of the depths of the Xilin Mountain Range.
Given the imposing and majestic nature of this cave dwelling, it's not hard to guess that among these three, it must belong to Tian Ying.
"Hehe, welcome Mr. Xiao Yan to my cave!"
Just as Xiao Yan was feeling surprised, Tian Ying's figure had already appeared on the stone platform not far from Xiao Yan. At this moment, he was looking at Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian with a smile on his face, but the smile looked somewhat lewd to Xiao Yan.
Afterwards, Yan Shi and Xiong Gang also descended. When Xiao Yan looked at them, he found that even Xiong Gang, who was usually serious, now had the same lewd smile as Tian Ying and the other two.
"Cough cough..."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only cough awkwardly twice. When he turned his gaze, he found that Murong Qianqian was still staring at him with a look that seemed to want to devour him, which made Xiao Yan Xiao Yan feel extremely embarrassed.
"Hmph, you filthy scoundrel..."
With a soft spit, the girl glared at Xiao Yan before turning her gaze away and shooting towards the Tian Ying.
The lewd smile on Tian Ying's face vanished the moment he felt Murong Qianqian's sinister gaze. His expression instantly changed, and he smiled obsequiously at the girl, rubbing his hands together before awkwardly saying:
"Miss..."
"If you don't open the door, I'll have someone stew you and make soup out of you!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, not only Tian Ying, but also Yan Shi and Xiong Gang beside him, all changed their expressions. They exchanged glances and couldn't help but swallow hard, knowing that this young lady was really angry. Tian Ying quickly stepped forward, raised his hands, and after performing several intricate hand seals, the heavy stone door in front of him slowly opened with a scraping sound.
The stone gate opened, revealing a deep passageway before Xiao Yan and his companions. This passageway was large enough for dozens of people to walk side by side at the same time, and its height was tens of feet, making it awe-inspiring.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, please. My lodgings are simple. I wonder if my cave dwelling is worthy of your palaces?"
Tian Ying smiled and gestured for Xiao Yan to enter. As for Murong Qianqian, she had already entered the cave the moment it opened.
Upon hearing Tian Ying's words, Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled. Such a magnificent cave dwelling, yet he called it a humble abode. How could those magnificent buildings in the eyes of humans possibly bear this?
"Hehe, I don't know much about these things. Living away from home all year round, enduring wind and rain, having a place to stay is enough. Why bother about how grand it is?"
Xiao Yan smiled, a slight glint in his eyes, and then stepped into the passageway.
Afterwards, Tian Ying and Yan Shi exchanged a smile and then stepped inside.
The stone door was closed, but the passageway was not dark. On the contrary, the soft light from the luminous pearls illuminated the entire passageway.
After Tian Ying and the other two entered the passageway, they immediately walked on either side of Xiao Yan.
By now, Tian Ying and the other two had long regarded Xiao Yan as a powerhouse of the same level. Although his cultivation level appeared to be only Five-Star Half-Emperor, the power he possessed was enough to make Nine-Star Half-Emperor bow down to him.
The four walked side by side in the passageway, their human figures appearing as tiny as ants in this magnificent passage.
As he walked forward, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan something to himself. After a long while, he finally raised his gaze, turned to Tian Ying, and asked:
"Brother Tian Ying, may my first request begin with you?"
