Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 191 Commitment
Although he repelled the five commanders, Xiao Yan did not rely on his own strength after all. Yao Lao's soul power was like water without roots, and he used less and less. Naturally, he did not dare to stay in the desert for too long. Soon, he and Hun Ruoruo flew out of the snake people's territory and looked for a remote and secluded place far away from the snake people and the human race.

The value of the strange fire is enough to make anyone covet it. Xiao Yan, who knows this very well, knows without anyone reminding him that he absolutely cannot go directly back to Shimo City where his brother is.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

If any news leaked out and aroused the greed of evil people, Xiao Yan was almost certain that the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, which seemed to have a high status in Shimo City, would be wiped out in a very short time because of this groundless news.

Greed has always been a sin in the human heart. In order to protect his two brothers, he had to suspect people's hearts with the worst plan.

Didn't Gu He, who always behaved in a gentle and refined manner, become extremely furious and even lose his mind because of his greed for the strange fire?

But the more Xiao Yan knew about the value of the strange fire, the more he understood what kind of favor the girl who had given him the strange fire several times had done for him.

The word "heavy" is not enough to describe it. No matter how much exploitation or sincerity there was in it, the only thing in Xiao Yan's mind was the beautiful scene of the girl holding the green lotus in her hand and smiling gently.

Precious memories are treasures that even strange fire cannot compare to.

However.
His previous actions and the murderous look in Ruoruo's eyes flashed through his mind. Xiao Yan felt a blockage in his heart and indescribable discomfort. He just wanted to slap himself twice.

Is he really that impatient?

Actually, there isn’t, really not.

Although Xiao Yan is ultimately a hot-blooded young man who has been unintentionally teased by the person he likes, if he doesn't have a little evil fire in his belly, he would be no different from a monk.

But no matter what he said or how he acted, he didn't really want to slap the girl's butt.

Once you take action, the nature of the situation changes.

Even though Ruoruo was affected by the beast soul's erosion, she showed tolerance and understanding far beyond her usual level. However, Xiao Yan still couldn't just let it go. It wasn't that he was being pretentious—

But he thought his willpower shouldn't be so weak.

That's not good enough for her.

"Ugh"

The young man sighed and sniffed. The wind and sand were dry and bitter. Some tiny grains of sand took the opportunity to get into his nasal cavity, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"what happened?"

Beside the sand, Hun Ruoruo asked doubtfully, her voice no longer having the usual playfulness and liveliness, but carrying only the calmness of the night.

The night was quiet and deep, the light was hazy, and the coolness seeped into the new moon. The tiny crescent moon represented that tonight was the coldest night of the year in the desert.

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Yan stretched out his finger and lightly touched the pile of firewood, igniting a tiny spark in the sand.

"In other words, from the very beginning, Ruoruo had already thought about this situation?"

He moved his body a little further away from the girl and slowly sat down opposite the campfire.
"Whether it's the ideas of Koga and his group, the counterattack of the snake people, or even my actions, they all seem to be part of your plan."

"I guess so."

Hun Ruoruo stared at the fire, her deep eyes reflecting brilliant golden light, as if one glance at it would make people addicted, but because of the light covering it, she did not show any emotion.

"Those people aren't strong, but it would be foolish to attack them with real weapons. Not only would we attract unnecessary enemies, but we would also sow the seeds of unknown disasters."

"Hide your weapon and wait for the right time to act. With your reckless nature, if you don't follow those strong men, you might get into trouble again. Speaking of which, I spent a lot of effort to hint at it so that you wouldn't get the idea."

At this point, Hun Ruoruo chuckled, and her voice suddenly became as calm and ethereal as before.

"You're quite brave, little fellow, to sneak into the temple in front of Senior Shuang and a bunch of Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs."

".Ruoruo really understands me."

Xiao Yan whispered, gazing at the beautiful eyes obscured by the flames. He had heard that eyes are the organ most expressive of emotion, and that girls' eyes seem to be more pronounced than boys'. Was it because boys are more reserved?

Ruoruo's eyes speak volumes, don't they? They can be witty, quirky, or even teasing and joyful. Xiao Yan had never seen such a variety of expressions before, and he had never imagined a girl could express so much with her eyes alone.
She seems to know how to express her emotions with her eyes better than other girls.

But now, perhaps because of the firelight, Xiao Yan could not see clearly into the depths of her pupils.

She hid it.

It was like going back to the first time we met. There was nothing but teasing and concealment. I rarely saw her true appearance. It was like seeing flowers in the fog or chasing the moon while drunk. I couldn't see or touch her. If I tried to get close to her, I would be rejected.

"If I don't understand you, who else can understand you, Third Young Master——"

Hun Ruoruo spoke in a drawn-out tone, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Yan's slow response.

"Ruoruo gave me the scroll of the strange fire coordinates, was it also for this moment?"

"Yeah, so you don't get lost."

"Ruoruo chose to capture Yue Mei in order to create conflict for Gu He and the others?"

"Yeah, so they don't have to fight."

"Ruoruo keeps mentioning the word balance, hoping that I can activate the beast souls and disrupt their balance?"

"Okay, you can guess that, not bad."

"Ruoruo, I was wrong."

"OK."

Halfway through the words, the inertial thinking caused the blurt out to stop, and Hun Ruoruo, who had been speaking casually, suddenly widened her eyes.
"Why are you saying this suddenly?"

Xiao Yan spread his hands and blinked: "Uh, you can't help but spit it out?"

"Ah, the Third Young Master is getting smarter and smarter. Now he has learned how to scheme against others."

Hun Ruoruo casually exposed his little trick and then said in confusion, "But you clearly didn't do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing to me? The beast soul is indeed difficult to control. It's not a big deal."

Hun Ruoruo was indeed speaking the truth. She was well aware of the side effects of controlling the soul. If she wanted to take shortcuts, she would obviously have to pay a price. There was no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world.

Rather, it is quite incredible that Xiao Yan was able to control his manic impulse in the end, which deserves praise.

"Just because something is difficult to control doesn't mean it's impossible to control. If Ruoruo has such high expectations of me, I certainly can't hold myself to the same standards as ordinary people."

Xiao Yan said with a smile, his voice carrying a subtle firmness, restrained and decisive.
"I will control myself, whether it's spiritual or physical. As long as my willpower is strong enough, I don't believe I can't control my impulses. That was the first and only time, and it won't happen again. I can do it!"

".Okay, Third Young Master, you have such lofty ambitions. I really admire you."

Hun Ruoruo burst out laughing at his silly words. This guy is really stupid. How can the erosion of the soul be offset by willpower alone?
Hun Ruoruo, who was well versed in the way of the soul, was very clear about the difficulty of this matter. Even with her soul water and fighting spirit's purification ability, it was extremely difficult to contend with the side effects of devouring souls, not to mention Xiao Yan, who was not even clear about his soul realm.

Only a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger can say such words.

Not to mention the erosion of the soul, even the evil fire aroused by the energy of the strange fire in the body is probably hard for this guy to withstand. Isn't the Fallen Heart Flame a good example?
When she thought of the scene that was going to happen, Hun Ruoruo's eyes became more ambiguous and lively, playful and mischievous, no longer obscured by the firelight.

Xiao Yan's eyes were clear and his smile was pure: "How can you know if you don't try? I always keep my word."

"I know, I know. I'm hungry. Go cut up the snake and roast it."

"Ah, the wound on my hand hasn't healed yet!"

ps: I have always wanted to write about fire with a youthful spirit, but with more delicate thoughts than the original, and with a sense of youthful innocence. I hope to give everyone such an experience, haha.

This part of the plot is quite crucial, you can guess what its purpose is. (No additional charge within the dividing line.)
