The two stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the misty Warcraft Mountain Range in the distance, each with different thoughts in their minds.

After a while.

Gu Xun'er seemed to have recovered a lot. Her pretty face was covered with a faint smile, elegant and moving. She was the first to break the silence and asked, "How long do you plan to stay in the Xiao family? I heard from my father that you should be preparing to break through to the Dou Sheng level."

Breaking through to the Douluo level is obviously not an easy task. Although she is still far from that realm, she still has vision and knows very well that even a gifted genius needs years or even decades to transform.

Some even take hundreds of years and still may not be able to break through successfully.

"I'm not in a hurry. I can accompany you for a year or two. It just so happens that you need someone to build your foundation. My alchemy skills have reached the peak of the eighth level. It should be no problem to build a foundation for you... It also saves you from returning to the ancient clan." Yao Yan said softly with a faint smile on his face.

Gu Xun'er was stunned when she heard this, then she shook her head slightly and refused: "No, I have already completed the foundation building in the clan a few years ago. From now on, I just need to practice step by step."

"Why, are you worried that I have intentions towards you?" Yao Yan looked at the elegant girl in front of him with a smile.

Facing Yao Yan's gaze, the girl dodged for a moment, then she found the courage from nowhere, and looked into Yao Yan's eyes again, and said firmly: "You should... dare not!"

Since my father dared to let the other party come here, he must have been paying attention to this side. If the other party dares to act presumptuously, my father will definitely come to rescue her.

That's not necessarily true... Yao Yan smiled and didn't continue the topic. He said, "Let's go down the mountain. This back mountain is too desolate. There's nothing to see."

Gu Xun'er nodded. She had brought Yao Yan here before only because there was no one here and there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping. Now that the communication was over, it was time to return to the Xiao family... The day when she would leave the Xiao family was not far away, and she cherished this last period of leisure time.

Once she returns to the ancient tribe, the things she needs to consider and face will become complicated.

Just as Yao Yan said before, this is her responsibility as the clan leader's daughter. She can't avoid it, let alone escape!
Just as she was about to turn around and go down the mountain, her soft little hand was suddenly grasped by a big hand. She was so shocked that her body suddenly froze. Her cold eyes glared at him with shame and anger, and she said in a panic, "What do you want to do! Let go!"

The little princess of the ancient tribe looked a bit like a frightened little rabbit at this moment.

"Just hold hands, let's go~" Yao Yan didn't give Gu Xun'er a chance to refuse. He took her soft and boneless slender hand and walked down the mountain.

Gu Xun'er wanted to struggle, but thinking of the other party's strength that was close to that of a Fighting Saint, she had no choice but to give up. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She could only let the other party hold her hand and walk down the mountain. Looking at her father and Aunt Hua who had never appeared around, she felt inexplicably depressed.

Are they just going to watch themselves being bullied by each other? !
Even though they were just holding hands, and even though the other person was her fiancé...it was the first time they met!

……

In the endless void, two extremely terrifying soul forces collided with each other, causing the surrounding void to shatter, as if it was returning to death.

"He crossed the line!"

"What's wrong with young people holding hands? Brother Gu Yuan is a little too excited. They are going to get married in the future. Right now it's just a little... interest between the couple~"

"Emperor Soul! I ****!"

Gu Yuan couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed, then started to get angry. What a bullshit little interest! His daughter was only fourteen years old!

Two soul forces that have reached the emperor level began to fight in the endless void. A terrifying space storm swept across. Space cracks kept appearing and were constantly extinguished. The terrifying destructive power, if placed in Zhongzhou, would be enough to destroy most of Zhongzhou.

However, the crazy fight in the endless void did not affect the two men's bodies. They both still stood there calmly, still maintaining basic restraint.

"Brother Gu Yuan's soul power has also reached the emperor realm!" Emperor Hun Tian said with a smile.

"Aren't you too."

Gu Yuan's eyes darkened slightly and he spoke slowly.

Taking advantage of this incident to vent his anger, he might have wanted to test Emperor Hun Tian's strength. After all, the two sides had not fought each other for nearly a thousand years.

"Do you want to continue? If you keep fighting, I won't be able to suppress the noise. If it causes too much disturbance, it won't be good." Emperor Hun Tian smiled and persuaded. He seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment.

Yao Yan did not disappoint him. He got the hang of it right away when they met. Very good. He did not lose any points!

As for the pressure from Gu Yuan, he could still withstand it. As long as Yao Yan didn't brutally break Gu Xun'er's body, everything would be under control.

"Tell that kid not to go too far! They are just engaged, not married yet!" Gu Yuan stared at Emperor Hun Tian with cold eyes and warned him. Obviously, Yao Yan's behavior has exceeded his tolerance limit. They held hands when they just met, and he would probably kiss her in a few days!
Men understand each other best. The relationship between men and women is like conquering a city. As long as the woman makes concessions, the man will become more aggressive!

"I will warn him." Emperor Hun Tian restrained his smile and nodded in response. He knew that Gu Yuan was already very restrained.

……

"Be careful and don't go too far. Your future father-in-law is watching you."

Yao Yan, who was walking down the mountain with Gu Xun'er, heard the laughter of Emperor Hun Tian. He was not surprised at all. It would be a joke if Gu Yuan didn't keep an eye on them since they had just arrived. His rash grasp of Gu Xun'er's hand was also a test to see Gu Yuan's tolerance.

If you want to win a woman's heart, any words and romance are the slowest progress. Physical contact is the most direct and can easily leave an indelible impression on a woman.

Especially a classical woman with a personality like Gu Xun'er.

There is a saying.

It takes skill to pursue a bad girl...but with a good girl, you just have to go for it.

The way down the mountain was not long, but Gu Xun'er felt it was extremely long, as if every minute and every second was so slow. Looking at Yao Yan who deliberately slowed down his pace, she felt ashamed, angry and anxious. However, how could she resist the other party who had just broken through to the fighter level? It seemed that she could only accept it silently.

She was even vaguely thankful in her heart that the other party only held her hand and did not do anything else excessive. Thinking of this, the girl's fair face showed a faint blush.

at this time.

Yao Yan's smiling voice reached her ears: "Are you wondering what you would do if I went too far and kissed you directly?"

"?!" The girl's cold eyes were filled with helplessness and panic of having her secrets revealed.

It's quite interesting to bully a girl who is ignorant of the ways of the world... Yao Yan chuckled in his heart, but he said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, before we get married, I won't do that to you... It's just holding hands."

He held the girl's hand and squeezed it gently, his eyes were gentle and his handsome face was full of temptation.

Gu Xun'er heaved a sigh of relief, and her eyes regained their calmness. After a moment, she said softly, "You are just afraid of the Gu Clan and my father!"

She adapts quickly and isn't overwhelmed by the medicine so quickly.

"Then do you want to give it a try?" Yao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er with a smile and asked back.

"..." Gu Xun'er was silent, not daring to try. After all, she couldn't afford to lose in this kind of situation. Even if she won, the other party wouldn't lose anything. But she had to admit that her heart was completely confused with the appearance of Yao Yan, and it seemed difficult to calm down. Yao Yan didn't continue to tease this cute girl, mainly because he wasn't very interested. Gu Xun'er, who hadn't grown up yet, was too immature.

Soon the two of them went down the mountain and entered the Xiao family.

As for holding hands, Yao Yan did not let go, as if to assert his sovereignty. He took Gu Xun'er for a stroll in the Xiao family, and his beautiful eyes named her: to get familiar with the place where his fiancée grew up.

Gu Xun'er seemed to have no choice but to let the other party lead her. She felt confused and dazed all the way. She even vaguely regretted why she wanted to meet the other party. The strength of both parties was not at the same level at all, and it was difficult to communicate on an equal footing.

At this moment, she realized the importance of strength. Family is sometimes unreliable. Its reputation can intimidate the weak, but it cannot intimidate people like Yao Yan. Only one's own strength is real.

Maybe she should return to the ancient world.

"Master Xiao Ning, that man is Miss Xun'er's fiancé~"

There was a faint sound of communication coming from a distance. Yao Yan took a glance and immediately saw a young man with the eighth level of fighting spirit looking at her with great jealousy. However, he seemed to still have some rationality and did not rush up to cause trouble.

"It seems that Xun'er is very popular in the Xiao family, and someone holds a grudge against me." Yao Yan retracted his gaze, looked at Gu Xun'er beside him, and laughed softly.

"You shouldn't bother with them, right?" Gu Xun'er said, her slender eyebrows slightly raised.

Yao Yan smiled and made no promises.

……

……

"Master Xiao Ning, the Great Elder wants you to accompany the guests."

"Go away! Just say I'm sick!"

Xiao Ning in the room smashed the water cup and said angrily, his expression was ferocious, looking at the girl he liked being held by another man, one can imagine the jealousy in his heart, especially at the age of seventeen, which is the most passionate and exciting age.

If he hadn't known that the other party was no simple matter, he would have rushed up and punched him. However, although he was reckless, he was not brainless.

The other party must have an extraordinary identity and background to be able to receive such hospitality from the clan leader and his grandfather.

But reason cannot suppress the resentment and jealousy in my heart.

He envied the other party for being able to hold Xun'er's hand and be so intimate with him, and was jealous that the other party would be able to possess her in the future... Why couldn't all this happen to him, why didn't he have the same talent as Xiao Yan, why did the woman he liked have a fiancé!

Why!
Why can't it be him!
Jealousy and envy made him lose control tonight. For the first time in 17 years, he drank until he was drunk, venting his inner resentment and jealousy. Finally, he fell asleep holding the jar of wine, and fell asleep on the table.

Until late at night, a strange old laugh reached his ears and woke him up.

"Hehehe... Little guy, you seem to need my help."

"Ok?"

Xiao Ning woke up from his sleep and shook his head. He looked at the empty room and suddenly started to wake up. He looked carefully at every corner of the room, but could not see a single person. He frowned and said to himself, "Is it an illusion?"

"Of course it's not an illusion. I am in the ring in your hand." The old voice sounded again, and this time it was even clearer.

Xiao Ning looked at the ring in his hand in panic. He felt numb for a moment, thinking he had encountered a ghost in the middle of the night. With trembling lips, he said, "You...are you a human or a ghost?!"

"I am neither a human nor a ghost. If I must say, I am a residual soul."

As the old voice sounded again, the ring on the index finger flashed with a faint fluorescence.

"Then why are you in my storage ring!" Xiao Ning said in a deep voice with rapid breathing and panic in his eyes. Faced with something that was beyond his comprehension, he was obviously confused and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"If you close your eyes, you will be able to feel my presence. It's a long story~"

"I won't close it. You get out of my storage ring first!" Xiao Ning thought quickly. He felt that this was a trick of the ghost to possess him, and he must not be fooled.

"..."

"Come out!" Xiao Ning urged.

"Then do you still want to get your girlfriend back? That young man is extremely powerful. Even if I were at my peak, I might not be his opponent. With your talent and your family's power, you will never be able to get her back in this lifetime."

As it was about Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Ning was a little blinded by lust. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is Xun'er's fiancé very strong?"

"More than strong, if he hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have been stimulated to wake up... You probably can't understand his level. I can only tell you that his strength is above Dou Zong."

Xiao Ning trembled and was frightened. He no longer had the idea of ​​competing with the other party for Xiao Xun'er. The difference in strength was too big. Even if he had ten lifetimes, he would not be able to catch up. He hesitated for a moment before asking suspiciously, "Are you lying to me?"

“He can casually take out a three-striped Qingling Pill that is comparable to a fifth-grade pill as a gift… You can go and ask about the value of this pill.”

Xiao Ning was naturally aware of the matter of the elixir, but he still couldn't believe that the young man was so terrifying. What was the concept of being above Dou Zong? He had never even heard of it. How could such a person appear in the Xiao family? !

How could he be Xiao Xun'er's fiancé?

"Are you lying to me?" Xiao Ning frowned and asked, "How could such a strong man appear in the Xiao family!"

"Why do you underestimate the Xiao family? You know, a thousand years ago, the Xiao family dominated the entire Douqi Continent... Who would have thought that a thousand years later, the Xiao family would be defeated to this extent, and the strongest person is only a Grand Dou Master. It's sad and lamentable..."

"Really?" Xiao Ning couldn't believe it. After a moment, he decided to ask his grandfather. At the same time, he took off the ring on his finger. He didn't dare to wear this kind of ghost ring, for fear of being possessed.

As if Xiao Ning's cowardly look made him speechless, the remnant soul in the ring was silent for a while before transmitting a voice: "You'd better not ask... The Xiao family had many enemies in the past. If they knew that someone in the Xiao family was still alive, your Xiao family would most likely be exterminated. The best way is to pretend that you know nothing."

Xiao Ning was not a fool, and he immediately figured out one thing: "You mean, Xiao Xun'er's fiancé is an enemy of my clan?!"

"You are too weak. What can you do even if you know the truth?"

Hearing the other party's acquiescence, Xiao Ning frowned and stared closely at the ring on the table. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Then who are you!"

"Thousands of years ago, I was known as the Heaven Devouring Demon Saint... That's all. It's just a name from the past. There's no point in talking about it. Are you willing to inherit my legacy? I can teach you martial arts and fighting skills, and even change your talents, making you a peerless demon. It's possible that you can even reach Dou Zong before the age of 20!"

"Demon Saint Devouring the Sky?!" Xiao Ning swallowed his saliva. He could still understand the name, Demon Saint... Could it be that the other party was a Fighting Saint when he was alive? !

Wow, such a heaven-defying opportunity actually fell on his head!
In an instant, Xiao Xun'er no longer smelled very good. (End of this chapter)
