Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 317 The Deadline for Emotional Recovery

Hun Ruoruo's words were still full of ambiguity, but they made Xiao Yan's eyes widen, and his sight could no longer accommodate anything else.

This witch really doesn't pay attention to her words and actions at all.

Doesn't she really know how damaging her words are to a man?
Thinking of Ruoruo's soul-eroding illness, Xiao Yan's heart moved, and he asked indirectly:

"Come to think of it, since Ruoruo wanted to be my friend, why did you always seem to be calculating in your initial help to me?"

At this point, Xiao Yan paused and said with a wry smile, "This may not be appropriate to say, but with your camouflage ability, it should have been easy for you to prevent me from seeing the flaws at that time, right?"

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Hun Ruoruo's condescending attitude suddenly froze. After hesitating for a while, she suddenly said in a low voice:
"Why do you care about this?"

"This"

Seeing he couldn't dodge, Xiao Yan could only spread his hands and said frankly, "I've experienced this before, the feeling of my soul being eroded. I see Ruoruo's current situation seems to be not much different from mine back then, so I'm wondering if it's related to this incident."

The aftereffects of soul manipulation caused the tiny evil thoughts circling in Xiao Yan's mind to be magnified countless times, to the point where he was willing to speculate on the worst intentions of others, and then the evil began to arise in his heart and was difficult to suppress.

Before this, Xiao Yan had not been able to ask this question proactively because he had not found a suitable opportunity. Now that he had finally found the right time, he felt it necessary to ask it all at once.

He has waited for so long, even if he doesn't want to mention it, his heart is already burning with discomfort. It has nothing to do with desire, and it has nothing to do with success or failure. He feels that he must at least express his feelings.

Storms on the plains hit from time to time, but as if guided by some special force, they tacitly avoided the young men and women who were talking to each other.

The dust in the air obscured the clear, cloudless sky, but Hun Ruoruo's eyes were still clear and bright, with only a hint of struggle flickering quietly in her pupils.

She had indeed kept it a secret from Xiao Yan for too long.
Even if there is a reason, as a friend, you shouldn't always hold back on people you trust, right?
What's more, the deadline for soul breakthrough is approaching. After using the soul-raising technique, she really doesn't know what she will become.

Now, things really need to be discussed now.
"Xiao Yan, do you still remember when I said I was using you?"

Hun Ruoruo suddenly asked, her eyes becoming somewhat absent-minded.

Seeing Xiao Yan nod, Hun Ruoruo nodded slightly and continued, "I have been using you from the beginning, and it is still the same now. Maybe it will not change in the future. That's why I don't want to have any other relationship with you. Maybe that's why."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and couldn't help but said with some doubt: "That being said, no matter what, being friends is more reliable than trading."

"Since Ruoruo wanted to use me from the beginning, if it were me, I would probably keep this matter secret for the time being, or simply choose not to say anything. That way it would be easy to achieve my goal, right?"

The young man's inquiring words made Hun Ruoruo's pretty face stiffen slightly. She then lowered her head slightly, a trace of subtle shyness flashing across her face.

"But, but, friendships with impure motives are not beautiful. I also don't like things that have deteriorated. They are disgusting. I was affected by the erosion of the soul. How could I distinguish these things at the time?"

Hun Ruoruo grabbed the grass on the ground and simply blurted out all the words that she had been holding back for a long time.

"It wasn't until I told you about it later at the Warcraft Mountains that I realized, maybe this is what friendship is like? Give a piece of candy, then get help in return, and so on and so forth. It seems like there's nothing wrong with starting with profit. Everyone does it that way."

At this point, the girl, uncharacteristically ruffling her hair, began to ponder deeply. The awakening of her emotions caused beads of sweat to gradually seep out of her delicate head.

"If I had discovered this earlier, maybe I would have had more friends? Well, that's not right. You told me all these things bit by bit, and it seems that other people don't have that much patience. So, can I really only have one friend?"

Along with the signs of revival of her emotions, there was a slight void in Hun Ruoruo's pupils for a moment, which seemed extremely strange, but then it quickly returned to normal, and neither Xiao Yan nor she herself noticed anything unusual.

Seeing that the girl was extremely serious about her somewhat childish remarks and had completely lost her previous ease, Xiao Yan did not laugh at her in his heart, but was just a little stunned.

This scene reminded him of a joke the other party had said to him inadvertently in the Warcraft Mountains.

She said that she was a bad person and others were too afraid of her to care, so she had no friends at all.

But is Ruoruo really a bad person?
Apart from the unscrupulous means to improve her strength, in her life she just loves to tease people she meets. She even uses her soul skills to trick the soldiers guarding the city into waiving the entrance fee, and she will quietly return the money without making a sound. Moreover, even if she uses unscrupulous means to improve her strength, she still has her own bottom line and will never choose to harm others' lives before completing a deal.
Xiao Yan was certain that such a contradictory personality must be related to Ruoruo's identity and background, which she had been reluctant to talk about.

"What you say casually may very well be what you mean from the heart."

Xiao Yan repeated it in his mind, his eyes softened, but he hid the rest of his emotions very well. He knew that she did not need the so-called pity.

After repeating the previous words over and over again, Hun Ruoruo seemed to remember something. She suddenly stuck out her tongue and said, "By the way, don't tell these words to anyone else, not even Master!"

"rest assured."

Xiao Yan also stuck out his tongue at her, "Since I've accepted the benefits, of course I have to ensure that I complete the task."

"Pfft, Senior Brother is really getting better at talking."

Hun Ruoruo couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Xiao Yan stick out his tongue and wave the grass root in front of her eyes.

"Although Senior Brother is a blockhead when it comes to feelings, he's actually quite sensitive. Behavior like this is the easiest way to win a girl's heart, didn't you know that?"

"Sometimes I wonder if Senior Brother's usual stupidity is just an act. If it were another girl, she might have already gotten on Senior Brother's bandwagon!"

As she spoke, Hun Ruoruo naturally excluded herself from this group, looking as if she was in charge of the country.

"I, how could I be pretending?"

Hearing the other party's blunt ridicule, Xiao Yan scratched his head fiercely in embarrassment and said indignantly:
"Compared to me, aren't you the same? You take so long to even be friends. You're more like a blockhead, aren't you?"

"Hehe, Ruoruo is different from Senior Brother. Senior Brother is really stupid. My soul was just slightly affected. With the help of Master's secret method, I will be able to recover soon."

Hun Ruoruo pressed forward, her hot body almost pressing against the boy's chest, her charming eyes seeming to shed tears.

She exhaled hot and humid air and whispered softly:
"Ruoruo likes me the most. When the time comes, I'll know if I'm a wooden man or not after I give it a try~"

"."

Xiao Yan looked at the girl's affectionate expression, and then felt her graceful body that seemed to be rubbing into his body, but in fact there was no contact at all, and he couldn't help but sigh.

When that time comes, maybe not scaring this silly girl away will be considered a success, right?

"I've also heard from my teacher about this. The secret method called 'Spirit Ascension' seems to only be used when refining pills. It's never been used on humans before."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan turned his head away, trying not to see the full curve that was so close to him.
"Can this really ensure safety?"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. With Master as your guarantee, the Soul Ascension Technique itself doesn't have any lethality, so how could it be unsafe?"

"Okay. Then when do you plan to try this soul-raising technique?"

"To ensure that everything is foolproof, I may have to wait until my soul realm breaks through to the late spiritual realm, and then completely refine Yunshan's soul."

Hun Ruoruo reached out and touched her pink lips. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled brightly and said, "According to the timeline, maybe it can be completed within three months!"

"So fast?"

Finally hearing the exact time, Xiao Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart felt like it was being hit by a heavy hammer.

Doesn't this mean that in three months, Ruoruo will know my feelings?
