Chapter 1087: Meeting Xiao Yan Again_1

"Xu Ran, you're really too impressive."

"Mu She usually struts around as the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps, so arrogant. But in front of you, he turned out to be so weak." Xiao Yi Xian smiled, revealing two small dimples.

The sight of so many members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps kneeling on the ground was a deep shock to Xiao Yi Xian's heart.

So this is what strength is?

With strength, who would dare to bully you? You can also protect those you want to protect.

If Xu Ran had been weak today, she and Xu Ran would have been undoubtedly dead.

"Now Mu She and his crew must be going to trouble Xiao Yan. After the way you handled them, I'm afraid he is going to take all his anger out on Xiao Yan." Xiao Yi Xian chuckled. She couldn't help but find it funny just thinking about what Xiao Yan would go through next.

Xiao Yan had actually done nothing, yet ended up taking the blame.

He was already pitiful enough being bullied by all those Unity Apes.

"How have you become so scheming? You weren't like this before," Xu Ran said, pinching Xiao Yi Xian's little nose, smiling as well.

He was merely there with the token and the ruler handed to him by Xiao Zhan to educate Xiao Yan.

He wasn't intentionally bullying Xiao Yan. He just hoped that Xiao Yan would go through challenges and emerge reborn from the fire. He saw himself as a really good person.

"It's all your fault. I was fine before. All you!"

"Besides, you said Xiao Yan is not a good person, right? I am not soft-hearted when dealing with bad people. Furthermore, once Mu She realizes that Xiao Yan followed us into the Magic Beast Mountain Range and then only Xiao Yan is left, with no way to handle you and me, he will surely go after Xiao Yan." Xiao Yi Xian pouted and threw a few light punches into Xu Ran's chest.

She wasn't foolish.

Xu Ran let these people go, purely to have them confront Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan's potential is limitless, even if the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps goes after him, they'll just be handing him their strength on a platter, only serving to bolster Xiao Yan's growth," said Xu Ran with his hands behind his back. With Yao Lao around, Xiao Yan couldn't possibly be in trouble.

"Then why did you let the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps go?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, puzzled.

"Haven't I told you before? I value talent. Everything I do is for his own good."

"Pfft, I'll believe that when hell freezes over. You've already taken away his childhood sweetheart, his fiancee, and even his cousins, and you still say it's for his good." Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but roll her eyes, astonished at how shameless Xu Ran could be. He had caused such misfortune for someone else and still claimed it was for their benefit.

"You were also snatched by me," Xu Ran thought to himself. Without him, Xiao Yi Xian would have been duped by that rascal Xiao Yan long ago.

"Now, nobody should dare to hurt you, and with your cultivation of the Poison Scripture progressing so rapidly, soon no one in Qing Shan Town will be able to trouble you. Now I can also leave with peace of mind. I'm planning to check on Yun Yun and then come back to find you in Qing Shan Town," Xu Ran said. It was also time for him to leave. As tempting as it would be to continue hanging out with Xiao Yi Xian, though cuddling up with Xiao Yi Xian was certainly a nice choice. A soft, beautiful land, who wouldn't love that? But if he was late, the great beauty Yun Yun might be in danger.

The status of the great beauty Yun Yun was very high in his heart.

She truly was an outstanding beauty.

And who wouldn't like a mature, gentle, and intelligent big sister?

Anyway, Xu Ran couldn't stay put. On the Fighting Spirit Continent, Yun Yun was one of his favorites.

He wouldn't let go of someone like her. And also, he could be with Yan Ran... *cough* *cough*...

What about an apprentice not marrying her master? Sorry, he wanted it all.

In the original story, Xiao Yan, that bastard, deeply hurt Yun Yun's heart, but now that he had transmigrated, he couldn't possibly let Yun Yun be hurt again. The tragedy from the original story couldn't be repeated. Perhaps the main storyline was still the same, but the process was filled with Xiao Yan getting thrashed again and again.

"Then you better go and come back early. If you dare not come back..." Xiao Yi Xian revealed her small tiger teeth in warning.

"Just put your heart in your stomach. I've already taught you my proud Alchemy without any reservation. What I should be worried about now is whether you will run away. Why would I run? Wouldn't I be at a loss if I ran?" Xu Ran said irritably. Did he look like such a foolish person? Even if he was a scumbag, who runs away without even having a taste? Besides, the beauty was right in front of him.

...

When Xu Ran once again entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan had already escaped from the Unity Ape's grasp. Taking advantage of the Unity Apes being exhausted from their fun, Xiao Yan had run like crazy with Yao Lao's help to escape.

And he also accidentally found that cave.

"Mu Li and his group died here. Xu Ran and Xiao Yi Xian have been here too."

"And this scroll..."

"Haha. Xu Ran and Xiao Yi Xian obviously didn't expect that I, Xiao Yan, could still escape. I really am the Son of Destiny; I escaped even under the siege of so many Unity Apes."

Xiao Yan laughed hysterically, yet tears couldn't help streaming down his face.

Only he knew the unspeakable ordeal he had gone through. In those circumstances, he kept a firm heart all because of Xu Ran. He wanted to find Xu Ran for revenge, which was why he could continue to live firmly at that moment. Otherwise, a normal person meeting such a fate would probably choose death directly.

Now he felt his body was about to fall apart.

"Xiao Yan, congratulations on your escape. You must have really enjoyed the gift I sent you." Just as Xiao Yan was excitedly searching the cave for any overlooked treasures, Xu Ran's voice came over.

"Xu Ran, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yan's face changed from surprise to terror, looking at Xu Ran as if he were looking at a devil. Xu Ran had become his inner demon; the mere sight of him filled Xiao Yan with immense fear.

The memories of those Unity Apes would haunt him for a lifetime. He didn't know how Xu Ran had done it, but he was aware that those Unity Apes had been lured by Xu Ran.

"Relax, I just came to see you. Consider that scroll as a gift from me. If you find that Strange Fire, you might have a chance to defeat me," Xu Ran said teasingly. One should always give others a glimmer of hope; if there's complete despair, then it's no fun. Besides, Xiao Yan was the Son of Destiny and was likely to find that Strange Fire. Xu Ran would have a much easier time cutting him off than going to the trouble of looking himself.

"Is this what you're leaving for me?" Xiao Yan asked fearfully as he looked at Xu Ran. He didn't know what Xu Ran meant. Xu Ran and he had blood-deep grievances, and he'd remember it for life.

...

Above the azure sky, intense energy fluctuations constantly created sounds like muffled thunder.

In the distant horizon, where green and red almost covered half the sky, even the lazy white clouds were stained with a bi-colored glow.

Yun Yun and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had already begun their fierce battle.
