Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 352 Xiao Yan's Doubts

Not long after, after a brief exchange with the little girl, she seemed to have let down her guard against Xiao Yan. After asking around, she finally learned her name.

Zi Yan.

That sounds like a good name.

"Hey, black-haired one."

Zi Yan glanced at the figure squatting beside her and suddenly said.

"I'm not called Hello, and I'm not called Black Hair."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "How can you be so rude, girl? Didn't I tell you my name?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's rather dissatisfied look, Zi Yan ignored him and just bared her teeth at him and said:

"I felt you looked familiar just now. Could it be that you are the guy who stole the big monkey's treasure?"

"Big monkey?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "You mean, the Snow Sky Demon Ape?"

"Yes!"

Zi Yan shook her finger and said crisply, "That big monkey has a violent bloodline. I fought it for a long time but couldn't get any treasure from it. Who would have thought that when I went there again a few days ago, it would come to me and cry."

"What did they say? A very strong human robbed it and asked me to stand up for it."

As soon as the voice fell, Zi Yan added with a smile,
"By the way, it also said that after the task is completed, all the treasures will belong to me, and I will just beat you up!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yan's face froze, and he immediately recalled the harsh words that the snow ape had said when he was fighting with him.

I didn’t expect that the person the guy was looking for was actually a little girl. How shameless is he?

The scene of the snow ape as big as a hill crying in front of a little girl who was not even as big as its finger emerged in Xiao Yan's mind. He couldn't help but shudder and quickly erased this strange scene from his mind.

"So, what do you mean?" Xiao Yan asked cautiously, clenching his hands nervously.

Although the little girl in front of him was indeed very cute, the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was a top-level body tempering treasure. If the other party wanted to snatch it away, Xiao Yan would never give it up.

"Well, I originally wanted to beat you up and then take it away."

As she spoke, Zi Yan waved her little fists, and the whistling sound made Xiao Yan sweat profusely and tense up all over.

However, the next moment, the other party put away his hand and muttered:

"But, considering your relationship with that old man Huo, I don't know how much trouble you'll cause me. So, let it go."

Zi Yan actually didn't tell the truth.

After living in the inner courtyard for a long time, apart from a few elders who only glared at her, no one else was willing to contact or get to know her. However, Xiao Yan's arrival gave her some fresh feelings.

Whether it was the opponent's powerful body that was comparable to that of a Warcraft, or his attitude of not being afraid of her, all of them made Zi Yan feel like she had found a kindred spirit.

If she hadn't confirmed the other party's breath again and again, she would have thought that this guy was also a monster that had accidentally eaten the transformation grass!
"Haha, then it seems I should thank you."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a dry laugh.

Children's friendship is sometimes quite simple.
Not long after, Xiao Yan collected all the pages that had been blown up by the previous clash between the two, and then began to look for the medicinal herbs he liked.

Zi Yan, who was watching Xiao Yan packing up, relied on her familiarity with the medicine warehouse and quickly delivered the herbs needed according to the other party's description, saving Xiao Yan a lot of time searching.

Soon, after putting a red fruit filled with cold air into his ring, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, raised his head and smiled at the little girl:
"Thank you very much, Xiao Ziyan, you are quite familiar with this place."

"That's right. Anyway, no one from the inner courtyard dares to come find me, so I usually stay here by myself. I've memorized all the delicious food and will eat this today and that tomorrow."

Zi Yan said with a smile, but her words revealed a sense of loneliness that was difficult to conceal.

"Hey, are you leaving now that you've got the herbs?"

"Uh, it's time to leave. I have other things to do." Seeing the other person's expression at the moment, Xiao Yan suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little off. He looked at the orange-yellow medicinal herbs tightly grasped in the little girl's hand, and said something else:
"By the way, Xiao Ziyan, can you let me see the medicinal herbs in your hand?"

"I've already eaten it, and it's not tasty."

Zi Yan shook her head and said as a reminder.

However, despite saying so, she hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the Vajra Bodhisattva to Xiao Yan with great pain, and then turned her head away resolutely.
"If you want to eat, then eat it. I can find something else!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile:
"In that case, I won't be polite."

After saying that, Xiao Yan exerted a little force and broke the other end of the medicinal herb. He casually returned the end that Zi Yan had eaten to her, and then stuffed the remaining part into his mouth, making a crackling sound like a rock exploding.

Without a doubt, these two are the only two people in the entire inner courtyard who dare to devour the hard-as-iron Vajra Bodhisattva like this.
"Damn it! How did you manage to swallow something this disgusting, even more disgusting than a magic core?"

Feeling the bitter taste in his mouth that almost exploded, Xiao Yan's face turned green, and he forced himself to swallow it.

"It has energy in it. This is all I can eat. Don't waste it."

Zi Yan saw Xiao Yan eating the raw herbs with the same fierce look as herself, and she immediately giggled and clapped her hands.

"Forget it, this thing tastes too bad."

He took out the water bag and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, then shook his head as if he was looking at a ghost.

Since he was a child, he didn't like to eat bitter food. Whenever he got sick, his father would forcefully stuff medicine into his mouth. I really don't know how this little girl could endure eating so many bitter herbs.
"How about I refine this herb for you? If nothing else, at least it can make it taste better."

Looking at Zi Yan's pouting mouth, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then said tentatively.

Hearing this, Zi Yan's laughter stopped abruptly, and her big black eyes seemed to become brighter in an instant.

"Black hair, oh, no, Brother Xiao, are you an alchemist?"

"That's it."

Seeing the little girl's expression change like turning pages of a book, Xiao Yan immediately thought of one of his junior sisters and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Is it true that girls are born with the skill of changing faces?
"really?"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly.

"Of course it's true, but I have something to do right now and I have to go home. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you refine it quickly."

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yan explained cheerfully, "There's someone hungry at home, waiting for me to go back and cook."

"Then, can I go with you?"

Zi Yan's big eyes were full of anticipation, "Don't worry, I won't eat your food."

"Haha, it's okay if you eat it. You don't need a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Great!"

Zi Yan raised her hands and cheered, then ate the herbs in her hand in a few mouthfuls. Without even waiting for Xiao Yan, she rushed out of the medicine refining department.

"This little girl."

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly and was about to catch up, but he seemed to sense something strange and stopped where he was.

Judging from the long time they have been together, Ruoruo's mental state after losing her memory should be exactly the same age as Zi Yan's.

However, after he had spent some time with an innocent little girl like Zi Yan, he discovered that her behavior seemed to be fundamentally different from Ruoruo's.
She is too sensible.

Apart from playing around sometimes, she hardly causes any trouble for herself like Zi Yan does, and even facing Liu Fei's provocation, she doesn't show the slightest dissatisfaction or fear.

Doubts flashed through his mind. Looking at Zi Yan who was constantly urging him in front of him, Xiao Yan responded and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Some things can only be taken one step at a time.
