Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 400 Ruoruo's Thoughts

Since Xun'er left, the lives of Hun Ruoruo and her husband have temporarily returned to peace.

Putting aside those goals that are still somewhat unrealistic for the time being, there are still many things that need to be dealt with urgently by the two of them.

In addition to the end of the inner courtyard teaching tour, the top ten students in the Strong List Competition will also enter the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower after a week of breathing exercises to receive the body training of the original heart fire.

Xiao Yan, who had been in Canaan Academy for a long time, naturally knew the effect of the heart fire. It could be said that as long as he could successfully survive this body training, the distance between him and the Dou Wang would be within reach!
However, what Xiao Yan cared about most was not just the so-called heart fire body forging.

Thanks to Hun Ruoruo's research, the day when the Fallen Heart Flame would break out of the tower had been calculated accurately to the exact number of days. Even the elders guarding the seal in the inner courtyard would never be able to know this information.

With this top-secret information gap, Xiao Yan felt relieved, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the safety of Canaan Academy.

After all, according to Hun Ruoruo, the Fallen Heart Flame is extremely powerful and has already possessed extraordinary intelligence. Even if she and Yao Lao take action, they may not be able to completely suppress it. Only with the help of the inner courtyard seal can they proceed according to the expected plan.

Because of this, if the Fallen Heart Flame breaks out when the elders and students are unaware, it is very likely to cause unpredictable casualties.

As Xiao Yan's doubts grew, time passed by little by little.
"Father and the others are leaving?"

Seeing the girl's slightly plain face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be stunned, then asked.

"Ah."

At this moment, Hun Ruoruo was wearing a familiar navy blue dress and was casually combing her slightly messy hair.
"The teaching tours are almost over, and my second brother's injuries have healed. The war in the Jia Ma Empire is imminent. If we don't go back now, it might not be safe."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned, obviously recalling the important war in the Jia Ma Empire.

Today, the Jia Ma Empire can be regarded as the base camp of his Xiao family. Basically, all the people and things he is familiar with are under its protection. If it is affected by the war, the cost will definitely be something he cannot afford.

But now, the Fallen Heart Flame is about to break the seal, and the two of them can't leave easily at this moment.
The urgent matters on both sides suddenly piled up together, which made him feel a little troubled.

After pondering for a moment without any results, Xiao Yan gave a bitter laugh, "With the strength of Jia Lao and the others, can't they make those snake people behave themselves?"

"There are no Dou Zongs left in the Jia Ma Empire."

Hun Ruoruo glanced at him and said calmly, "With Yunshan dead, the empire is almost foreseeable to be united. If we don't choose to fight to the death now, I'm afraid the snake people won't even be able to hold on to their little piece of land in the desert."

"What if"

Seeing Xiao Yan was about to speak, Hun Ruoruo sighed softly, interrupted him, and then added:

"I know what you're trying to say. Even if I choose to inform Elder Jia, the Serpent People won't let it go. Countless years of accumulated conflicts make it impossible for them to easily trust humans."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan fell silent.

Not only the snake people, but even he still remembers the attacks and killings by the snake leaders in the desert. Such a tit-for-tat situation is simply not something that the Gama Empire can resolve unilaterally.

If they want to ease the situation, they must choose a strong person with sufficient authority among the snake people.
"In that case, shall I go with you to see father and the others off?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and asked tentatively.

"No need." Hun Ruoruo pushed open the door, put on a fur coat to block the chill of autumn turning to winter, and chuckled:
"Uncle Xiao said he didn't want to disturb your practice, but from my perspective, given his personality, he probably couldn't figure out how to say goodbye to you, so he said that, right?"

After that, the girl said no more, waved her hand and walked out of the room, then closed the door tightly, leaving only a faint voice coming from the other side of the door.

"Remember to practice well, Third Young Master."

"."

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xiao Yan stood there and scratched his head in confusion.

It's strange to say, ever since I opened up my heart in the room last time, this girl's attitude has suddenly changed drastically for some reason, and she is even more mysterious than when we first met.

"Did I say something wrong? That shouldn't be the case. She has always been more optimistic about myself than I am. Even if she thinks I'm bragging, she shouldn't be so angry."

Thinking back on his recent actions, Xiao Yan was puzzled and couldn't figure out what the girl was thinking no matter how hard he tried.

"Teacher, do you know what Ruoruo is thinking?"

After thinking it over, Xiao Yan gave up thinking behind closed doors and instead tapped the ring on his finger lightly and asked in a low voice.

After a long silence, the ring suddenly lit up, and then Yao Lao's long sigh was heard.

"It's hard for me to fathom what's going on in this little girl's mind, but I'm sure it's definitely related to her father. This kind of emotional trauma won't heal overnight, even if you're the one guiding her."

"As expected?"

After hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan nodded, but he did not look too surprised.

It was just a simple oath. Even if Ruoruo believed in herself wholeheartedly, it was just empty talk. It was too far-fetched. If she wanted to appease her heart with just this, it was obviously far from enough.
Perhaps the only thing that can really divert the other person's attention is something more special.

Thinking of this, his eyes became a little vague, and he casually looked at the objects placed on the wooden table. Finally, his sight gradually locked on an inconspicuous corner.

Xiao Yan's pupils constricted slightly.

I saw that in the slightly dusty corner, there was a small tripod with a glazed sheen.

"Alchemy?"

After leaving the courtyard, Hun Ruoruo did not choose to see Xiao Zhan and the others off as Xiao Yan had said. Instead, she secretly activated the power of space and arrived at a hidden forest in a few breaths.

After landing, she let out a long sigh, and her expression became more mysterious.

"Queen, now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide from me any further, right?"

A faint voice sounded, and along with the sound of a snake's spitting and breathing, a wriggling snake pattern suddenly appeared on Hun Ruoruo's leather cloak. The familiar charming voice seemed a little cold at this moment.
"The three-month deadline is approaching. No matter what excuses you may have, I must obtain a solution to the hidden dangers of the soul now!"

The news about the Snake People constantly weighed on the heart of the Snake People leader, like a burning fire, and he could not bear even a moment longer.
This part of the plot seems a bit awkward to read. I'll see if I can make another chapter out of it later. If not, I'll make up for it later so there won't be a lack of words~
