Chapter 43: Strategy for Nalan Yanran!
For this reason, in the next few months, apart from returning to Yunlan Sect for necessary training, Nalan Yanran often asked Xiao Ming to come out and discuss various issues.

From time to time, Nalan Yanran would ask the boy about his training methods and techniques, and would also take the initiative to ask her how she could practice fighting skills better.

In response to this, Xiao Ming gave him some rough instructions and then took out his wind escape fighting skills with bad intentions.

Therefore, under Xiao Ming's deliberate seduction, the innocent girl was hooked step by step. Even Nalan Yanran herself didn't know that there was a little more admiration in her eyes when she looked at the boy.

After raising Nalan Yanran's favorability to a high level, Xiao Ming decided to take drastic measures. He deliberately let Ya Fei reveal the news that she possessed the strange fire to Nalan Yanran.

Don’t ask why, after they have been together for so long, Nalan Yanran still doesn’t know that the boy possesses a strange fire, because this kind of thing cannot be said proactively!
Otherwise, Xiao Ming would appear to be pretentious and easily offend others. The young man who deeply understands this would not be stupid enough to do something that would make others lose their favor.

The reason why Liu Ling in the original novel failed and could never pursue Nalan Yanran was, firstly, because he was too much of a bootlicker and not likable; secondly, because his fighting spirit was too low and Nalan Yanran did not value him; thirdly, because he was too pretentious.

Every time he successfully refined some elixir, or made a breakthrough and advanced to a higher level, he would run to Nalan Yanran to brag about it, as if this would win the girl's heart. However, he didn't know that doing so would only make Nalan Yanran disgusted.

As for Xiao Yan's success? He relied on his calm and relaxed temperament to help Nalan Jie remove the poison and win the championship of the Alchemist Conference, which won Nalan Yanran's heart.

With these two previous experiences, Xiao Ming naturally knew what to do.

On this day, in the Mittel family, in a flower-viewing pavilion, Xiao Ming held a goblet in his hand, sipping it from time to time, admiring the beautiful scenery while enjoying the sweetness of the wine in the glass.

Ah, is this the daily life of those rich and powerful people? It is indeed very enjoyable and comfortable!

No wonder it is so easy to corrupt people. In this kind of atmosphere and with this kind of treatment, how many people can control themselves?

Xiao Ming sighed and lamented.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming's determination to practice Taoism has always been firm, and he never stops on the path of cultivation. He knows that only by becoming strong enough can he eat better abalone, so he will never stop practicing.

Just when Xiao Ming was feeling deeply moved, a graceful woman in a moon-white dress hurriedly ran in from outside the flower-viewing pavilion.

Looking at the young man, he was about to say something, but because of his panting, he couldn't speak directly.

"Xiao...Xiao Ming, I..."

Seeing Nalan Yanran like this, Xiao Ming smiled slightly, and gently approached the girl's body. He stretched out his big hand, came to her beautiful back, and patted her gently, using his fighting spirit to help the girl calm down.

"Thank you, Xiao Ming!" Nalan Yanran said gratefully.

"No need. By the way, Yanran, why did you come here suddenly? I remember that today was the day you went to Yunlan Sect to practice... You didn't run out secretly, did you?" Xiao Ming said with a hint of suspicion.

In fact, he knew that she did it on purpose. Otherwise it would be too deliberate. Nalan Yanran was not stupid and was not easy to fool.

"Humph, that's not the case! Yanran has been practicing very hard, but today I have something important to discuss with you!" The girl snorted, dissatisfied.

Clearly, the two have been getting along very well over the past few months, and you can tell from their conversations just how quickly their relationship has improved.

"What's going on? Is the sky going to fall?" Xiao Ming asked jokingly.

"Hmph, Xiao Ming, you are so mean. You always make fun of me on purpose. I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore!" Nalan Yanran became a little annoyed.

Seeing this, the young man comforted her with kind words, and only then did Nalan Yanran calm down.

"Oh, so you didn't even bother to practice today and came all the way here. What's the matter?" Xiao Ming continued, changing the subject. "Ah, I almost confused you. I have something important to do. Xiao Ming, do you have a strange fire?" Nalan Yanran recalled the important matter and looked at the boy seriously.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"That's great!" Nalan Yanran patted her chest, and her large breasts bounced up, and even her clothes could not withstand the pressure.

Xiao Ming was a little irritated by what he saw. This girl was really charming. To be honest, the patient training over the past few months had consumed a lot of his brain cells.

After successfully taking Nalan Yan down, he would make sure to compensate her well by making her a few more abalone meals to soothe his tired soul.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" the young man asked knowingly.

"It's like this. My grandfather's brand of poison just broke out, and Elder Gu He said that only an alchemist with strange fire can remove the poison... So I started looking everywhere, and just now I learned from Sister Yafei that you have..." Nalan Yanran explained concisely.

Then Nalan Yanran lowered her head and said earnestly.

"Xiao Ming, can you help me? My grandfather and I have a good relationship, and I don't want him to die from the poison! Please!"

Nalan Yanran was not worried that Xiao Ming could not solve the problem. After all, she felt relieved after knowing his level of alchemy and that he had the strange fire. She was just a little worried that the boy would refuse.

But that shouldn't be the case. Over the past few months, I have had a very good relationship with Xiao Ming, and he has even taken advantage of me from time to time!

Hearing the girl's request and looking at her big watery eyes, Xiao Ming would not refuse. After all, this was his original purpose!

The young man smiled happily and said.

"Don't worry, since it's related to you, Yanran, I will definitely help!"

"Thank you!" When the girl said this, there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Ming, but it quickly disappeared.

"Then let's go quickly!" As she said that, Nalan Yanran took the young man's hand and hurried to the Nalan family's territory.

Seeing the girl's initiative, Xiao Ming smiled slightly but did not comment.

About an hour later, with Nalan Yanran's guarantee, Nalan Su tested the young man and then let him go.

Coming to the inner room, looking at Marshal Lionheart Nalan Jie, who was sitting cross-legged on the sickbed, relying on his powerful fighting spirit to suppress the poison.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the timeline had not yet arrived, so Nalan Jie naturally did not look as haggard and empty as Xiao Yan saw in the original novel.

Hearing the sound, Nalan Jie exhaled, retracted his fighting spirit, opened his lion-like pupils, and said.

"Who? What's up?"

"Grandpa, Yanran is here!" Nalan Yanran said respectfully.

Although her grandfather did not approve of her breaking off the engagement, he still treated her very well in the family, and Nalan Yanran naturally respected him very much.

"It's Yanran. What's the matter? Also, who is this young man?" Nalan Jie asked in surprise.
