Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 544 I've been looking for you for so long
The two looked at each other.

Cao Ying stared blankly at Xiao Tian's smiling face. All her bad emotions were instantly dispelled by the joy of regaining what she had lost. For a moment, a thousand words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single one.

Seeing that Cao Ying, who was usually intelligent and proud, was actually showing such a rare stunned look, Xiao Tian's smile deepened, and he was about to say something more to tease her.

But Cao Ying's eyes grew even redder. Then, disregarding everything else, she took a step forward and, like a swallow returning to its nest, threw herself into Xiao Tian's arms, leaving a trail of fragrance.

Cao Ying wrapped her arms tightly around Xiao Tian's waist, buried her face in his chest, and closed her eyes tightly, afraid that it was just her hallucination.

Xiao Tian was taken aback by the sudden, ball-driving-style embrace. Feeling the real touch of the warm, soft body in his arms and the slight trembling of her delicate form, the playful expression on his face gradually turned into a helpless tenderness.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Cao Ying's smooth hair and patted her slightly trembling back reassuringly.

Feeling the warmth of Xiao Tian's hand, Cao Ying's body stiffened slightly, followed by a great sense of satisfaction.

This time it's real, not a hallucination. The thing I've always dreamed of has finally come true.

Xiao Tian didn't speak, but quietly comforted her and helped her calm down.
"It's alright...it's nothing, I'm here." Xiao Tian gently stroked Cao Ying's back, his voice soft and soothing.

After a long while, Cao Ying seemed to gather a little courage. Her cheek was still pressed against his clothes, and her voice was muffled, with lingering sobs, yet it came out with unusual clarity and determination:

"I've finally seen you again. I've been looking for you for so long."

Xiao Tian also felt the arms wrapped around his waist tighten unconsciously.

"Mm." He responded, his voice deep and serious, "You don't need to look for me anymore, I'll always be here."

Xiao Tian's words, though simple, were like a key that suddenly unlocked Cao Ying's heart. Her long-suppressed emotions, as if finding an outlet, surged forth and could no longer be contained.

The tears she had been holding back instantly turned into scalding tears, gushing out and quickly soaking Xiao Tian's chest.

Feeling the heat and dampness spreading rapidly across his chest, Xiao Tian suddenly felt that he might have been a bit of a jerk.

Xiao Tian didn't try to wipe away her tears in vain. Instead, he hugged her tighter, allowing her to vent her emotions without restraint.

His hand maintained that gentle and steady rhythm, slowly stroking her back, as if telling her that he was here and she could freely express all her emotions.

As her raging sobs gradually turned into soft sobs, Xiao Tian gently rubbed the top of her head with his chin. "Alright, you crybaby, if you keep crying like this, my clothes will be soaked with tears. This is not the behavior of the infamous vixen."

Cao Ying was sobbing so deeply when he interrupted her, causing her to choke on her sobs. She couldn't help but look up at him, tears still on her face, and shouted, "You're the crybaby! You're the crybaby!!" Her voice was thick with emotion as she protested, trying to maintain the somber atmosphere, but she managed to break the spell.

A gentle smile spread across Xiao Tian's eyes as he reached out and gently wiped away the tears from her cheeks with his fingertips. "Yes, yes, I'm a crybaby, but..." He deliberately dragged out the words as he carefully examined her face, "This little crybaby is pretty."

Cao Ying's cheeks flushed slightly at his gesture of wiping away tears and his blunt words. "Smooth talker..."

"I'm telling the truth." Xiao Tian smiled, cupped her face in his hands, and gently stroked the corner of her eye with his thumbs.

This was the first time Cao Ying had been so intimately touched by a man. Normally, she would never be touched by a man, let alone come within a meter of him.

Cao Ying did not push Xiao Tian's hand away, letting him do as he pleased.

“When you came to see me before, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to see you. I was in seclusion at the time. After I came out and understood the situation, I also taught Cao Dan a lesson. Please don’t be angry anymore, okay?” Cao Ying remembered the most important thing and hurriedly explained. “Yes, I know. I’ve never been angry. Otherwise, why would I have taught you the Taiyin Soul Refining Technique?” Xiao Tian flicked Cao Ying’s forehead and laughed.

Cao Ying instantly understood. That was indeed the case. She had been too anxious to find Xiao Tian back then. Love could easily make people lose their minds. No wonder her Uncle Xuanyi had changed.

"Okay, stop imagining."

"Mmm." Cao Ying nodded heavily, leaned against Xiao Tian, ​​and took a deep breath of his scent.

The two embraced and chatted about all sorts of funny things and whispered secrets.

……

Zi Yan sat on a large rock, swinging her legs, examining the contents of the storage rings in her hands one by one, her eyes narrowed.

After transferring the items from one of the storage rings to her own, Zi Yan looked up and asked, "Where did that big bad guy Xiao Tian go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Why does my head feel a little itchy, and I also feel a bit powerless? Could it be because the treasures in these storage rings aren't working right?"

Zi Yan scratched her head in confusion, then shook her head. "It's good that Xiao Tian, ​​that big bad guy, isn't here, otherwise he would have tried to take my things. Now everything is mine, hmph~."

She continued swinging her legs, counting her 'captured' storage rings, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

……

"What is the item you're tasked with this time?" Xiao Tian asked Cao Ying, who was nestled in his arms looking rather languid.

"Returning Spirit Red Fruit, Three-Flower Grass, Drunken Demon Saliva." Cao Ying took out her task list.

"Here." Xiao Tian flicked his hand, and three items appeared in his palm.

"Where did you get these? They look like they were just picked recently." Cao Ying sat up straight instantly, her eyes fixed on the three medicinal herbs in front of her.

"Yes, they were just picked not long ago. They're all medicinal herbs from the Pill Realm, not ones I brought in myself. You can take them."

Xiao Tian placed the item in Cao Ying's hands.

Looking at the three medicinal herbs, Cao Ying was filled with emotion as she looked at Xiao Tian. She had searched for so long, and even went so far as to attack Xiong Zhan's base camp with those rabble for these herbs.

A mixture of warmth and excitement welled up in her heart, leaving her with almost no hesitation.

She stretched out her jade-like arm, hooked it around Xiao Tian's neck, and her soft red lips, filled with resolute passion, pressed directly against Xiao Tian's lips.

For Xiao Tian, ​​she simply wanted to use this method to express the overflowing emotions in her heart that words could not convey.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it touches and then leaves.

However, just as she blushed and her heart pounded like a drum, wanting to back away—
