Some time later, Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Ming reluctantly parted, their breathing still labored, and a faint thread of crystalline silk appeared between them. Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were half-closed, her lips slightly parted as she tried to catch her breath. She then looked at Xiao Ming with a mix of affection and shyness
"You're so mean, you snuck up on me and caught me off guard."
Xiao Ming's eyes sparkled mischievously as he replied, "You didn't seem to be complaining at all just a moment ago, Xian'er."
Xiao Yi Xian felt her cheeks warm at his words, as she slowly regained her senses, she noticed that they had switched positions, and she was now sitting on Xiao Ming's lap. She looked down at their rumpled clothing, feeling embarrassed.
"I can't believe we got so carried away." She muttered under her breath.
They were in the middle of the hall, and any servant who passed by could have heard them.
Xiao Ming chuckled and drew her closer. "I couldn't help it, you looked too irresistible."
Xiao Yi Xian's heart skipped a beat as she looked into his eyes, feeling the intensity of his gaze. She leaned in for a soft, lingering kiss before playfully tapping his chest with her delicate fingers.
"Flatterer," she whispered, feeling shy inside and at the same time, filled with an indescribable sense of delight, her snow-white neck flushed even redder.
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's bashful expression, Xiao Ming couldn't help but find her incredibly adorable. He smiled and stroked her hair before gently patting her bottom as a signal for them to stand up and adjust their clothes.
Once they were both presentable, Xiao Ming took a seat next to Xiao Yi Xian and asked.
"Xian'er, have you broken through?" A moment ago, he had noticed that her aura was a bit unstable, but also much stronger than before.
"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently, the red mist on her face had yet to fade.
"Three days ago, after fighting the fierce spirit, I broke through when I felt the bottleneck loosen a little." Hearing her speak so easily about breaking through, Xiao Ming could only smile wryly.
Now that Xiao Yi Xian's strength had reached the three-star Dou Ancestor, it was unclear to what extent it could be increased with the Poison Pill.
But he didn't want to rush it. Xiao Yi Xian's rapid progress was due to the residual effects of the Nether Poison Flame, which would weaken over time. It would not be too late to use it when these residual effects were weaker.
Moreover, he couldn't just take out the Monster Core of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast without a good explanation, so he preferred to wait for a suitable time.
"Come to think of it, where is Zi Yan?" Xiao Ming looked around and only then did he realize that Zi Yan was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at him and rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that this stinky guy approached her so stealthily to do naughty things without even checking if there was anyone else in the vicinity.
"I don't know, she probably went out to play."
Although she hadn't been out of seclusion for long and didn't know exactly where Zi Yan had gone, after spending so much time together, she had a sufficient understanding of Zi Yan's character.
With her and Xiao Ming in seclusion, and with Zi Yan's inability to sit still, she should have gone out to play.
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's reply, and pretending not to notice her reproachful look, Xiao Ming already had an answer in his heart.
"Zi Yan is probably fooling around with that Medusa." Xiao Ming said, feeling a bit exasperated as he remembered the mention of Medusa in the simulation.
Thinking about her sister's supposed friend who had been following them back, and remembering what Xiao Ming had said about her, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes suddenly narrowed as she asked. "Speaking of that Medusa, did she really dare-?"
Knock knock!
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door and a maid's voice rang out. "Master Xiao Ming; Yun Yun, the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, has come to request an audience."
"Oh? Very well, invite her to the reception hall."
"Yes!" The sound of footsteps walking away sounded outside the hall.
Xiao Ming stood up and held out his hand to Xiao Yi Xian, who pouted slightly.
"Yun Yun is here about the Yun Shan situation. Let's go meet with her."
...
When the two arrived at the reception hall, Yun Yun was already sitting there waiting, and beside her, Yun Shan, who had long white hair, was also present.
When they saw Xiao Ming enter accompanied by Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Shan, and Yun Yun stood up to greet them.
Yun Yun was fine, but Yun Shan was probably suffering from the uncoordinated movement of his hands and feet as Xiao Ming had said, and just as he stood up, he felt that he could not control his legs and was about to kneel towards Xiao Ming.
Luckily, Yun Yun realized something was wrong and rushed to hold him back, preventing him from making a fool of himself.
"Master Xiao Ming, please forgive me, you also know the state of my body." Yun Shan said with a bitter smile.
"No need for such formalities, I'm not the kind of person who cares much about such things." Xiao Ming waved his hand and said, before sitting on the main seat with Xiao Yi Xian beside him.
"Please take a seat."
After Yun Yun and Yun Shan sat back down, the two of them got straight to the point.
"Master Xiao, have you come up with any solutions for the seal in my soul these past few days?" Said Yun Shan, looking at Xiao Ming expectantly.
"Indeed, I have a solution." Xiao Ming nodded, during these past few days, not only was he waiting for Venerable Tian Huo to refine the fierce spirit, but he had also been examining Protector Xuan's storage ring.
There were many strange things inside that storage ring, some of which Xiao Ming did not know the function of, however, under careful scrutiny, he found the solution to the seal on Yun Shan's soul.
Recalling what he had seen, Xiao Ming said, "Sect Leader Yun Shan, the seal you carry is called the Hundred Ghost Forest Seal. It requires a pill, a secret technique, and the cooperation of the person under the seal to succeed."
Hearing this, Yun Shan's face darkened for a moment as he recalled the scene where Protector Wu appeared in front of him.
To be honest, he felt that Protector Wu didn't seem like a good person from the beginning.
However, at that time, he had not been able to break through to Dou Ancestor, his life expectancy had reached the limit, and his bodily functions had reached the point of exhaustion, it was then that the other party mentioned that he could perform a secret technique to help him break through to Dou Ancestor, so even though he felt that the other party did not seem like a good person, he still agreed in the end.
He really had no choice!
If it wasn't for Xiao Ming, other than himself, the entire Misty Cloud Sect would have been harvested by the other party in a few years. And he would have become the sinner of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Thinking of this, Yunshan showed a bitter smile.
"Please assist me, Master Xiao Ming."
"This seal will also affect your personality if it remains in your body for a long time, making you cold and ruthless, so it should indeed be removed as soon as possible. Follow me."
Yun Shan seemed very anxious, so naturally, Xiao Ming would not waste any time.
Before leaving, Xiao Ming spoke to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Xian'er, you can accompany Sect Leader Yun Yun for a while first, it's no big deal, so we'll leave soon."
After saying this, she led Yun Shan into the secret room.
Yun Yun couldn't help but feel worried as she watched the two leave. Xiao Yi Xian noticed her gaze and spoke up, her voice gentle and reassuring.
"You don't need to worry too much, since Xiao Ming said it was no big deal, then it's no big deal."
Hearing these words, Yun Yun turned and looked at Xiao Yi Xian with some surprise. She did not expect Xiao Yi Xian to strike up a conversation with her.
It was not that Yun Yun had not thought of striking up a conversation with her before, but with her aura being a bit unstable, Xiao Yi Xian could not help but let a little bit of it slip out, making her sense of presence extremely strong. Her every move touched people's hearts, like a fairy who had fallen to the earthly world, making Yun Yun unconsciously more inhibited.
Yun Yun also guessed that Xiao Yi Xian had just broken through and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. She couldn't believe that the girl she had met in the Magic Beast Mountain Range was even more talented than Xiao Ming.
Xiao Yi Xian noticed Yun Yun's reaction but remained unfazed. She knew what the other party was thinking and did not bother to say anything.
The matter of the Woeful Poison Body could not be revealed to outsiders.
Anyway, from Xiao Yi Xian's point of view, she wouldn't be what she was today if it wasn't for Xiao Ming.
She felt a deep affection for him. In her heart, Xiao Ming was her world, as well as the person she admired the most.
Xiao Ming, who had no special physique or strong background, was the one who should be admired for achieving his current strength.
Even if she encountered individuals with stronger skills than Xiao Ming in the future, she would never change her mind.
"AH!" A faint miserable scream came from the secret room. Although the sound was tiny, both of them were not weak in strength, so they heard it very clearly.
Yun Yun's face changed. This voice had been extremely distorted, but she could still recognize it as her Master's voice.
She knew that the room was soundproofed, so if she could hear the sound from outside, she could imagine how heartbreakingly Yun Shan was screaming inside.
Inwardly, she was very anxious, but Yun Yun wanted to be patient and chose to trust Xiao Ming.
A few moments later, the sound disappeared, and the stone door slowly opened. Xiao Ming walked out with Yun Shan, who was drenched in sweat.
"The seal has been solved. With a year or two of rest and finding some herbs that can restore the soul, he will be able to fully recover."
Some time later, Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Ming reluctantly parted, their breathing still labored, and a faint thread of crystalline silk appeared between them. Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were half-closed, her lips slightly parted as she tried to catch her breath. She then looked at Xiao Ming with a mix of affection and shyness
"You're so mean, you snuck up on me and caught me off guard."
