Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 460: The road ahead is filled with dangers and difficulties. Are you willing to accompany me? (with illustrations~)

In a rather old courtyard, an old man was busy sweeping the dust on the ground. Yellow leaves were falling down, as if adding an invisible burden to his progress.

After sweeping for a long time, the old man seemed to be a little tired. He simply put down the broom in his hand, sat down on the stone block, and turned his head and said, "Boy, are you here?"

Xiao Yan, who was leaning against the door, smiled, walked in slowly, and took over the work that the old man had put down.

"I heard from the Great Elder that after knowing we were leaving, all the elders planned to see us off, but you refused to come no matter what. As a disciple, of course I had to come and tell you the news."

Xiao Yan responded casually while busy cleaning up the fallen leaves in the yard.

"Hmph, I'm used to being idle, but I'm not used to sending people off." Elder Huo snorted coldly, "As for Zhongzhou, I've been there before, but it's too complicated and chaotic! You have to be cautious everywhere, and you have to calculate people's hearts at every turn. Don't say I didn't warn you, kid. If you fall, the academy won't be there to protect you anymore."

Elder Huo's words were full of sarcasm, but seemed to carry some special meaning, which made Xiao Yan laugh and gradually stop what he was doing.

"Yes, Zhongzhou isn't an academy. We won't have the easy life we ​​had in the inner courtyard. Those who constantly complain about the academy's system are often the ones who cry the most during graduation."

Xiao Yan smiled, "But they chose to leave in the end. No matter how famous they are, they still have to move forward, right?"

Elder Huo's lips moved slightly, but in the end he did not say anything to try to keep him.

He knew that the little fellow who had just entered the Douling realm three years ago had quietly reached a level that even he admired. When it came to alchemy, he had even successfully broken through to the sixth level, making him the best in Canaan Academy.

The little guy walked too fast.

So much so that an old guy like him was already helpless before he had time to take a closer look.

Looking at the old man, who was in a rare state of low spirits, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a bit bitter. Zhongzhou and the Northwest Territory were a long way apart, and the challenges ahead were countless. He didn't know how long it would take before he could return.
Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed to be influenced by him, Elder Huo quickly perked up a little, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and scolded him, "Stop fussing. It's fine that you surpass an old man like me in strength, but you still want to lecture me? I've experienced more than you have!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately rolled his eyes, "Uh, don't you think this is outdated?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Elder Huo suddenly stood up and rummaged through his sleeves. He finally pulled out a golden scroll and carefully placed it in Xiao Yan's hand. "Take it."

Xiao Yan's eyes widened: "Elder Huo, this——"

Elder Huo raised his voice a few notches: "I told you to take it."

Without giving Xiao Yan a chance to refuse, the skinny hand seemed to have great strength at this moment, pressing down the boy's wrist tightly like an eagle's claw.

"This thing isn't for you, it's for you and the girl, understand?" Boss Huo sulked and instructed word by word, "Come to Canaan Academy. If you don't get her, give me the principal and interest, and I'll pay you back!"

When Hun Ruoruo was mentioned, Xiao Yan felt warm in his heart. Knowing that the other party was determined to do so, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

He whispered, "Definitely."

Elder Huo waved his hand and said, "Alright, get out of here. I, the old man, still need to clean up the house. I don't have time to keep you for dinner. When you see the girl, remember to apologize to me."

After saying that, without giving Xiao Yan a chance to speak again, the old man pushed him out of the door and slammed the door hard.

The old wooden door creaked under the violent impact, and some dust flew down, blinding Xiao Yan's eyes.

"This old guy, really is..."

Recalling the scene in the past when the old man used his salary to subsidize the alchemy department, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh and wiped the dust off the wooden door.

After standing there for a long time, the young man bowed deeply and turned to leave.

When the footsteps outside the house completely disappeared, the wooden door that was originally closed was quietly pushed open.

"Silly boy."

A hint of gentleness flashed across the old man's cloudy eyes, and he sighed softly, "With such talent, the strange fire is the elixir, and the heaven and earth are the furnace. With my strength, I am ultimately just an insignificant scenery on your life path. I am content to be able to accompany you for a while."

"There's still a lot of time. I'm waiting for the day when you surpass your master."

As the sun rose, the young man's figure gradually walked away under the old man's gaze, and then completely turned into a small black shadow and disappeared.

"came back?"

Hun Ruoruo looked at the young man hurrying over from a distance, and couldn't help but glance back in confusion, and said angrily, "Why didn't the elder grandfather come with you? Didn't I tell you to invite him along?"

"The old man is very arrogant and refused to come." Xiao Yan shrugged, his eyes smiling. "You know what, his strange temper of not liking to say goodbye is somewhat similar to someone else's."

"You!" A hint of unnaturalness flashed across her pretty face, and Hun Ruoruo simply turned her head away from him. "Forget it, if we can't invite her, then we can't. Anyway, Elder Su Qian also said that we should bring Zi Yan with us. We will come back eventually."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a long breath and nodded vigorously.

I have spent too much time in Canaan College. This bond will not fade with the passage of time. Instead, it will become more mellow and long-lasting with growth and precipitation.

Even if the mountains don't move, the water will move. There will always be a time to meet again. As if remembering something, Hun Ruoruo suddenly said: "By the way, have you cleaned the room? If you don't come back for too long, the bedding will get moldy."

Xiao Yan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I put everything into the storage ring before I left."

“What about the plants in the yard?”

"They've all moved outside. Elder Su Qian said he would take care of it when he's free."

"Are the doors and windows locked?"

"rest assured."

Listening to the girl's chattering, Xiao Yan didn't feel annoyed and answered her questions seriously one by one.

"Hehe, Senior Brother is really responsible."

Hun Ruoruo smiled and then blinked leisurely: "Shall we set off then?"

The girl suddenly spread the wings behind her back. Her white Taoist robe looked particularly elegant in the autumn. Her rosy skin, set against the black feathers, was fascinatingly beautiful, pure and enchanting.

Swallowing heavily, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, staring intently at the girl in front of him, and said, "Ruoruo, every time we go to a new place, you always drag me along. This time, I can also transform my Dou Qi into wings, otherwise..."

"Okay."

Hun Ruoruo agreed without hesitation, and raised her arm slightly, ready to hug her. "Brother, please be gentle with me. Don't be mean to me, or I'll be shy."

"what?"

Xiao Yan seemed to be surprised that the other party would agree so readily. He stammered, "Really?!"

Hun Ruoruo tapped her pink lips with her finger and said distressedly, "Senior Brother is no longer a child. If he continues to rush by with his neck lifted up like before, I'm afraid he will lose all his dignity as a man. Of course, he can't play like that anymore."

"However, I only give you three seconds to consider. No more waiting."

"Uh, just three seconds?"

"three."

"Hey, wait, I'm not ready yet!"

"two"

Seeing the girl counting down without paying any attention, Xiao Yan simply ignored the gazes of those around him and immediately rushed forward to embrace the slender waist he had always dreamed of.

"one."

Hun Ruoruo's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye she was behind Xiao Yan, leaving him empty-handed.

"I'm sorry, Brother, you're a step late~"

Sweet whispers mixed with hot and humid breath sprayed on Xiao Yan's neck, instantly making his body stiff and his hair stand on end.

"Witch, you."

Before he finished speaking, a familiar feeling of weightlessness came over him, and Xiao Yan's body instantly rose from the ground and soared into the air.

However, what puzzled Xiao Yan was that the familiar feeling of suffocation did not come as expected.

He subconsciously opened his eyes and looked towards the direction below, but his soft hair was suddenly blown by the strong wind and kept hitting his cheeks, blocking most of his vision.

"This, this is?"

Hun Ruoruo wrapped her arms around Xiao Yan's neck, hugging him tightly with her cheeks pressed lightly against his. It seemed that a unique feminine fragrance penetrated the boy's nostrils from time to time.

Xiao Yan had difficulty speaking: "Ruoruo..."

Hearing this, she chuckled, her pretty face flushed and flushed, and she gently stroked the other person's face with her small hand and whispered:

"There are countless difficulties and dangers ahead. Brother, are you still willing to accompany Ruoruo to face them together?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan gave up struggling and responded with a red face.

He suddenly felt that this was fine.
