Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 115 You. Take me down
Xiao Yan had anticipated the other party's reaction, but such intensity and resistance still made him feel dazed and his heart was filled with indescribable complexity.

Lost?
He admitted that there was.

Before this, even though he could feel that Ruoruo was wary of him, Xiao Yan still believed that she would regard him as a friend.

In fact, in his opinion, friend is already a very vague word. It’s not that it is a bad word, but if you just find someone you can talk to and spend a few days with him, it seems that he can also be called a friend, right?

He didn't know what kind of relationship he had with Ruoruo, but because of the other party's seemingly smiling but actually mysterious behavior, he had to suppress the urge to ask.

So Xiao Yan comforted himself by saying that being a friend was not bad either.

But Hun Ruoruo's previous words made Xiao Yan finally understand that even the word "friend" that maintained this fragile relationship seemed to be just his wishful thinking.

Xiao Yan smacked his lips, not knowing why his mind suddenly became so wandering, hesitant and hesitant, completely losing the composure and confidence he had in front of Xiao Yixian. He just felt a great emptiness in his heart, even more intense than before.

"Did I not explain it clearly? Do I need to repeat it again?"

Seeing Xiao Yan still standing there motionless, Hun Ruoruo's words were as bleak as the cold wind, making people's ears hurt.

His thoughts were interrupted, Xiao Yan lowered his head, feeling lost and unwilling, and his brain started working faster than ever before.

He knew that if he said the wrong thing again, he might not have any chance at all, and the other party would only push him further away.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Do you think I'm just being attentive?"

"if not?"

The girl replied coldly and briefly, but there seemed to be a trace of imperceptible anxiety in her voice.

Xiao Yan did not choose to answer, but slowly took off the ancient storage ring from his fingertips, placed it in the center of his palm, and wiped it gently.

Annoyed by Xiao Yan's inexplicable behavior, Hun Ruoruo finally spoke when he was about to explode.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Ruoruo, who do you think is stronger, me or Nalan Yanran, based on my current strength?"

".?"

The snarling words she had prepared were choked back in her mouth. Hun Ruoruo frowned as she looked at the young man in the distance and said coldly, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yan showed some confidence and arrogance in front of Hun Ruoruo, which was very rare.

"When we made the three-year agreement, she was a three-star fighter, and I was at the third level of Dou Qi. Now, nearly two years have passed, and I've reached the level of a Fighting Master. Even if Nalan Yanran's cultivation level is higher than mine, how many stars higher can she be?"

"So, what do you want to say?"

Hun Ruoruo was completely bewildered and felt that Xiao Yan was simply extremely stupid.

"With me and Yao Lao here, if you can't even beat Nalan Yanran, you might as well just run into a wall and die."

What Hun Ruoruo said was not an exaggeration. Whether in terms of talent, resources, or the diligence of practice, Nalan Yanran was far inferior to Xiao Yan. In her opinion, the so-called three-year agreement was just a formality. Nalan Yanran had no chance of winning at all.

This was also the case even if she had given Nalan Yanran a certain improvement in her cultivation in order to manipulate her openly.

The ending has already been determined, and Xiao Yan will definitely win.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and remained noncommittal.
"Since Ruoruo also feels that Nalan Yanran is no match for me, then this three-year agreement shouldn't be a big deal, right? I'm not being too ambitious, but I think I've really made progress."

"From the very beginning, you kept everything from me. I admit that I wasn't strong enough at the time and didn't deserve to know many things. But being in the dark all the time isn't a good feeling. It even makes me very uncomfortable."

After saying that, he paused, his eyes gradually became firm, and he said seriously: "So, Ruoruo, I want to help you with something, even if it's just a tiny bit. I don't want to rely on you to solve everything, and I don't want to always just listen to you say 'it's not my turn'." Xiao Yan spoke out all the prepared words in one breath. The palms hidden behind his back were already covered with sweat. He knew that his words were completely full of loopholes and could not stand up to scrutiny, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much.

He just wanted Ruoruo to know that he was not trying to please her.

However, considering Xiao Yan's wooden temper, he was able to come up with such an excuse on the spur of the moment, which was obviously a sign of his quick thinking.

He looked nervously at the girl curled up in the distance. After noticing that her expression had relaxed a little, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and tried desperately to suppress his violently beating heart.

If possible, he would rather fight a third-level monster to death than face the girl's cold questioning.
It's a pity that it can't be replaced.

"Uh Ruoruo?"

"I heard it, I don't need you to repeat it."

Hun Ruoruo interrupted Xiao Yan in a bad mood. She tutted her tongue and said disdainfully, "You have high expectations but low skills. What else have you done during this time besides making things worse?"

"How could I have been doing more harm than good?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He tried to save face by saying, "At least I can bring some food."

"Like I said, dry food is edible too, and I'm not concerned about the taste."

"Well, I once led away two third-level monsters."

"Heh, do you think a mere third-level magical beast would dare to covet the Lion King's Cave?"

"Uh, could it be that there are other experts?"

Swallowing hard, Xiao Yan asked awkwardly, obviously having noticed that something was wrong.

Hun Ruoruo sneered, "What else? I told you at the time that I had a way to solve it, but you, an idiot, just said that and ran off on your own. And in the end, I ended up cleaning up your mess."

"I"

Upon realizing that he had actually made things worse, Xiao Yan's face turned pale and blue. He touched his nose in frustration, then sat back on the ground dejectedly, and actually imitated Hun Ruoruo's posture to hug himself.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had finally calmed down, Hun Ruoruo was too lazy to pay attention to his strange behavior. She relaxed a little and felt the warmth brought by the purple spirit crystal.

The scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurred. Once the exhaustion of her soul and her highly tense nerves relaxed, the sleepiness came over her like waves, making her eyelids twitch constantly and her body feel a little weak.

The girl's usually extremely deep eyes unexpectedly turned into a blue color like the clear sky, clear and pure, indicating that her soul power had been completely exhausted.

She needs to rest.

The night gradually occupied most of the sky, and only a little twilight glow illuminated the amethyst in the cave. The roars of beasts rang out one after another, making the hazy Hun Ruoruo shudder and raise her head. Her chest heaved, and thinking that she almost fell asleep just now, fear instantly spread throughout her body.

Hun Ruoruo glanced at the dark forest in the distance, then looked at the strange and slightly funny figure huddled in another corner in the distance. Her starry eyes flickered, and her lips, which were bitten until white, opened slightly, as if she had made a great determination.

She whispered, "Hey, you said you wanted to help, right?"

Hearing Hun Ruoruo's words, Xiao Yan hummed casually, then raised his head with some confusion.

"Then take me down."

In the shadowed area, a faint blush seemed to flash across the girl's pretty face, just like a summer night cereus, bright and imperceptible.
