"Little Lin Xiao, please…"
Lin Xiao held Dugu Yan, letting her burning, soft body squirm in his arms. He did so until Dugu Yan, with red eyes, pleaded with him, whispering in an incredibly seductive voice.
Lin Xiao's mind had been wavering before.
But upon hearing the words "Little Lin Xiao," his face instantly darkened.
Angered, Lin Xiao bit Dugu Yan's earlobe and said:
"When you've sobered up, I'll come find you tonight. I'll definitely let you know that Little Lin Xiao has grown up!"
Dugu Yan's alluring eyes were like silk as she simply kissed him.
A moment later, the process of the Martial Soul's evolution concluded.
The Silver Horn Azure Jade Flood Dragon, which originally had a silver horn on its head and was lustrous like jade, underwent a significant change in appearance.
Its already lustrous jade-green scales became even more crystal clear, as if emitting a faint glow. The horn on its head had also transformed into two small, delicate protrusions, though the horn itself had not yet grown.
Lin Xiao took another look at Dugu Yan's Martial Soul and silently scoffed.
What a "twin-tailed young girl" Martial Soul!
At the same time, he pondered, If I wait another two years for the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to mature, and then give it to Sister Yanyan, perhaps that will allow the two horns of this Silver Horn Azure Jade Flood Dragon to grow out?
"Lin Xiao… don't hold me so tight."
A soft, mature voice sounded.
Lin Xiao looked down and saw Sister Yanyan's face flushed red. It was clear she had regained her senses and was experiencing extreme embarrassment.
Lin Xiao kissed Dugu Yan's cheek.
"I'll come find you tonight."
"Huh?"
Lin Xiao released Dugu Yan and jumped out of the wooden tub.
He used his Soul Power to evaporate the moisture from his clothes.
However, his clothes were still covered in the scent of the medicinal bath ingredients and needed to be washed separately.
"Aunt Ye, we're done!"
Ye Qingxian pulled aside the curtain and saw Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan standing outside, already dressed. Dugu Yan's face, however, was as red as a cooked shrimp, clearly not normal.
Ye Qingxian knew what was going on and didn't ask any further questions.
She glanced at Dugu Yan's Martial Soul and conducted a test. The poison had been greatly enhanced, and Dugu Yan's Soul Power purity had also increased by more than one level.
If it came to a fight, Ye Qingxian truly couldn't think of anyone of the same rank, besides Lin Xiao, who could withstand Dugu Yan's poison. Even in battles where she was outmatched, Dugu Yan could probably defeat most Soul Masters.
Ye Qingxian clapped her hands, "Alright, a perfect conclusion!"
"I'll have someone bring hot water. You two can take another bath later."
…
Late at night, all was quiet.
Dugu Yan did not sleep with Ye Lingling tonight.
She curled up in her blanket, lost in thought.
Knock knock.
A very faint knock on the door.
Dugu Yan tucked her head deeper into the bedding, hiding her lotus feet as well.
Lin Xiao pushed the door open and entered.
"Sister Yanyan?"
He had been thoroughly tormented by Dugu Yan during the day.
Who knew how uncomfortable he had been!
He still couldn't sleep, tossing and turning until this very night.
His mind was filled with the image of Dugu Yan's cute, blushing face. He just wanted to tease Sister Yanyan fiercely, to let her know that Lin Xiao was no longer Little Lin Xiao.
The room was pitch black. Lin Xiao lit a candle.
The room instantly brightened.
He saw Dugu Yan hiding under the covers and said in a low voice:
"Sister Yanyan, you don't know how hard I held back during the day. At that moment, I wished I could just abandon everything. Even now, I still can't sleep."
Dugu Yan remained curled up in her blanket.
Her heart was pounding uncontrollably, and her body gradually grew weak.
Dugu Yan's mind was in a turmoil, and she still shyly said:
"You, didn't you used to be able to endure your Evil Fire outbreaks with willpower? You endured Evil Fire Burning Body countless times, you can endure it today too."
"It's different."
The young man's voice was gentle, yet very serious.
"Evil Fire Burning Body can be endured with time."
"But how can I endure my feelings for Sister Yanyan?"
"Like a river bursting its banks, my desire for you is like spilled water, impossible to retrieve."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan's heart fluttered, wishing she could melt into a puddle of warm water and give herself completely to Lin Xiao.
She lifted the covers and said softly, "You can't tell Lingling..."
"Also, blow out the candle."
Lin Xiao obediently did as he was told.
He just didn't tell Dugu Yan that with his Great Sun Golden Eyes, which even had a Pupil Technique Domain, how could he not see in the dark? No matter how dark it was, he could see clearly, discerning the finest details.
Dugu Yan sighed softly.
She took Lin Xiao's hand and led him to the bed.
But she didn't rush into intimacy.
Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan held each other, seeing the emerald green, gem-like beauty of her eyes, filled with reminiscence and intoxication. He simply confessed his deep affection.
"You don't know how much I like you..."
"Back when you saved Grandpa and me, you were young. Back then, I only felt gratitude and closeness towards you, and I truly treated you like a younger brother."
"As you grew older, I watched you transform from so cute to so heroic and handsome, your back as straight as a pillar, able to support the heavens and the earth. I felt you should be mine."
"At first, I only knew Lingling liked you. Lingling and I were like sisters, so I thought my feelings and hers were similar, and you would eventually be mine. Only later did I realize Bing'er had ill intentions, and she managed to succeed."
"Fortunately, you still couldn't bear to leave me."
As Dugu Yan spoke, her eyes suddenly closed, her long eyelashes fluttering, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The scene was deeply moving.
Lin Xiao's own inner heat even subsided.
He gently wiped away the tears from Dugu Yan's eyes, holding her and said, "It was my fault for being too foolish, making Sister Yanyan suffer."
"From now on, Yanyan is mine. I won't let go, even if I die."
"I'm tired today, let's get some rest early."
Lin Xiao now simply wanted to hold Dugu Yan and sleep.
But Dugu Yan wouldn't have it.
After pouring out her heart, she seemed to transform from a shy young girl into a valiant warrior, cupping Lin Xiao's face and kissing him.
"Hmph, since you're already here..."
Dark clouds outside shrouded the moon.
It was as if the moon shyly covered its eyes.
...
The next day, Lin Xiao glanced at the sky outside.
Dawn was just breaking.
He hadn't woken up at this hour; in fact, he hadn't slept at all.
Dugu Yan in his arms had only fallen into a deep sleep a short while ago.
Lin Xiao glanced at the Dragon Tiger Pill Ye Qingxian had given him on the table.
Who would have thought that the pill Aunt Ye gave him would be used for the first time at a time like this? Lin Xiao's physical strength was extremely high, and he didn't need to recover his energy. It was, however, very helpful for Dugu Yan, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand the night's demands.
Lin Xiao gazed blankly at Dugu Yan beside him. Last night, he had truly understood how much the person beside him loved him and what kind of inner turmoil she had experienced.
Lin Xiao pushed open the window.
The morning breeze caressed his face.
Outside the window, birds began to chirp.
He suddenly felt a true sense of responsibility and the weight of his burden.
Love was so heavy, yet it made him willing to endure it.
How fortunate he was...
In his Sea of Consciousness, Feng Yu was utterly dejected.
She felt very unhappy.
Watching Lin Xiao's smiling face.
She couldn't hold back any longer.
Emerging from the Sea of Consciousness, she pounced on Lin Xiao and pecked him fiercely.
"Ah, don't wake Sister Yanyan up!"
The Little Red Bird pecked even more ferociously!
