Breaking the Masked Man

The word "family" carries a very heavy meaning.

"Son..."

Cai Die finally couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Yao Yan's arms again, resting her head against his chest and calling out softly. She hugged him tightly, seemingly unwilling to let him go. But reason told her that he would eventually leave, and Yao Yan's words just now represented his feelings.

She was an extremely simple woman; what she liked mattered more than anything else.

Meeting the right person at the right time.

That one moment of eye contact might be the start of a lifetime.

Memories of her acquaintance with Yao Yan flooded her mind. She hugged Yao Yan tighter, tears welling in her eyes. However, she didn't utter a single word to stop her. She knew she couldn't stop Yao Yan from doing what she was going to do. Perhaps the only thing she could do was wait.

"Don't worry, I'll be back to see you soon. By the way, your sister will be coming with me this time too."

Yao Yan gently wiped Cai Die's eyes, noticing the slight chill. He sighed softly, and after a moment, the clever man chose to change the subject.

"?!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Die finally raised her head. Her tear-streaked face looked pitiful, as if she had been robbed. She had known Yao Yan first, so how could her sister have taken Yao Yan away in the blink of an eye?

Chapter 125 The Night Ends

There's a saying that makes a lot of sense: when a woman is throwing a tantrum, never try to comfort her; instead, try to distract her.

As Yao Yan spoke, Cai Die instinctively turned her attention to another matter: when did her sister become so close to Yao Yan? The two had clearly only met a few times. She and Yao Yan were the closest, so why did she suddenly feel like an outsider, as if her beloved man had been 'stolen' by her sister?

A sudden pang of sadness welled up inside her, and she wore a wronged expression, her lower lip seemingly trying to envelop her upper lip.

However, Yao Yan found this appearance incredibly cute. He lowered his head and kissed Cai Die on her pouty lips, saying with a smile, "Don't feel wronged. It's not like I'm going to elope with your sister. I have important business to do in the Black Corner Region. That place is very chaotic, and I'll probably have to kill a lot of people. It's not suitable for you to come along. Just stay here and wait for me to come back."

To be honest, Cai Die's little mouth is very soft, and kissing it gives you a strange feeling of excitement, a feeling you can't experience with Hua She'er and Yue Mei.

Mental satisfaction always trumps physical satisfaction.

"When will you and your sister depart, young master?"

Cai Die blushed slightly. She wasn't used to being affectionate with Yao Yan yet. Suddenly caught off guard, her watery eyes became evasive as she secretly looked at the doorway, afraid that someone would suddenly barge in and see this embarrassing scene.

Yao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "First thing tomorrow morning."

"So fast?!"

Cai Die was stunned upon hearing this, and couldn't help but grab Yao Yan's clothes tightly, her face full of surprise.

Yao Yan put his arm around Cai Die's waist, gently stroking her alluring snake tail, and slowly said, "Our future is still very long, there's no need to rush. However, you also need to cultivate diligently during this time. The medicinal power of the Royal Extreme Pill only raised your cultivation level. Now, to completely make this strength your own, you still need to work hard. When I return from the Black Corner Region, I will check on you."

He straightened his face slightly and stared at Cai Die with a rather serious expression.

Butterfly and Scale have different personalities. She has never been very ambitious in pursuing strength, but in this kind of world, strength is the foundation that determines everything.

"Yes, I understand. Young master, please be careful... Also, young master, please be considerate of my sister. Sometimes she is just concerned about saving face. Just give in to her a little."

Cai Die nodded, then, as if remembering her older sister's personality, she clasped her hands together and begged Yao Yan for help. Her expression was indescribably cute, and her current attire was exactly the same as Queen Medusa's, with gorgeous and noble clothes that added to her charm.

"If she goes too far, I won't let her get away with it."

Yao Yan, recalling the cold shoulder she had received earlier, gave a lukewarm reply.

"Young Master~~"

Cai Die hugged Yao Yan and let out a sweet, coquettish voice.

Yao Yan felt a tingling sensation in his bones and quickly stopped Cai Die's dangerous behavior, saying, "Alright, I understand. I'll let it go for your sake."

"Young Master is the best."

Cai Die smiled and hugged Yao Yan, saying with a beaming smile.

Yao Yan tightened his grip slightly, looked at Cai Die's stunning face, lowered his head and gently bit her earlobe, then blew a breath: "I'm leaving tomorrow, you can stay in my room tonight."

His breath seemed to possess a magical power, instantly draining Cai Die, a nine-star Dou Huang, of all her strength.

"En~"

She responded in a barely audible voice.

That night was destined to be a difficult one for Cai Lin, the older sister of Cai Die.

……

……

Early the next morning.

As Yao Yan stepped out of the room, a murderous gaze was immediately cast upon him from afar. Who else could those cold and beautiful eyes belong to but Cai Lin? To 'get revenge' on the other party, he had tormented Cai Die quite a bit last night, and he was certain that Cai Lin wouldn't come looking for trouble.

After all, this kind of thing can only happen once, and as long as she keeps her distance, Cai Lin won't be able to do anything to her.

Yao Yan smiled in response to Cai Lin's gaze. As a magnanimous man, how could he hold a grudge against a woman, especially one who was excessively beautiful?

Cai Lin's breath caught in her throat as she looked at the man's smile. She bit her red lips, suppressing the urge to slap him to death. She glanced away, deciding that out of sight, out of mind. As for the harassment she suffered last night, she would consider it a test of her composure.

Thinking about it this way, my mood calmed down inexplicably and I was no longer so restless.

In fact, she herself did not realize that since Yao Yan came to the Snake People, her state of mind had been fluctuating more and more, and at the same time, Yao Yan's image in her mind had become bigger and bigger.

Whether it's positive or negative, when a woman remembers you, it brings emotional value. How this relationship changes in the future depends on how the two of you get along.

At this moment, Yao Yan had already floated to Cai Lin's side, admiringly examining his sister-in-law's alluring figure. His gaze was very clear, because he had already released most of his evil thoughts last night. As the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block. The words of our ancestors are still very true. He now had no filthy thoughts in his mind, which was frighteningly clean.

Perhaps this is what Buddha meant by "form is emptiness".

He understood...

If the ancient Bodhi tree knew what he was thinking at that moment, it would probably weep.

Let's set off in a bit.

Yao Yan's gaze shifted upwards, looking into Cai Lin's deep and alluring purple eyes, and he spoke.

Cai Lin frowned and said, "So urgent?"

Yao Yan said matter-of-factly, "It was bound to happen sooner or later. Do you want to say goodbye to Cai Die? But she probably won't be able to get up anytime soon. She clung to me all night last night, sigh~"

In the end, he showed a hint of helplessness. The snake demon was indeed very troublesome. It was only because of his strong physique that he was able to withstand it!

Cai Lin's expression froze. Looking at this bastard, she almost lost her composure. She took two deep breaths to barely maintain her queenly demeanor. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could give Yao Yan a good beating, and sneered, "Why do I feel that you had a lot of fun last night, young master?"

Can't you feel whether you're happy or not?

Instead of provoking the other party, Yao Yan changed the subject, saying, "The Yunlan Sect has already pledged allegiance to me, and with the addition of the Mittel family, you don't need to worry about the Snake-People. As for Xie Biyan of the Wanxie Sect in the Chuyun Empire... we'll go and completely resolve this problem later."

As he spoke, he pursed his lips, eager to receive this generous gift from Xie Biyan.

Although the opponent has not yet broken through to the Dou Zong level, the life-long Dou Qi of that half-step Dou Zong is enough for him to absorb for a period of time. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the abilities of the Devouring Spirit Clan cannot be used indiscriminately, he would really like to activate the killing and devouring mode to quickly advance. His experiences in the Shennong Mountains have long made Yao Yan fascinated by that feeling.

Yao Yan knew how to restrain himself. He knew that whether or not he used the Devouring Spirit Clan's talent to enhance his strength would determine how Hun Xuzi would evaluate him next time.

After not seeing each other for several years, he will give Hun Xuzi a big surprise.

“Xie Biyan is not easy to deal with. It’s a bit of a pipe dream for you and me to wipe out the entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.”

Cai Lin glanced at Yao Yan and coldly stated a fact. She admitted that Yao Yan was quite strong, and that she could even fight Yao Yan to a standstill with her strength as a three-star Dou Wang. But that did not mean that the two of them could destroy the entire Wanxie Sect. The other side had quite a few Dou Huang and Dou Wang.

"What if we add another helper?"

Yao Yan smiled, slightly raised his hand, and said with a laugh, "Old man, time to get up and get to work!"

"Hey~"

With a helpless sigh, Yao Lao's aged soul slowly floated out of the Bone Flame Ring. His dignified appearance was marred by a worried expression. This was because he was constantly being imprisoned in the Bone Flame Ring by Yao Yan, and whether he could get out depended entirely on the other party's attitude.

He, the esteemed Medicine Master, has never suffered such humiliation.

Unfortunately, the old apothecary had no choice but to let Yao Yan ride on his head and defecate at will.

He glanced at Yao Yan, stroked his beard, and reminded him, "Boy, my current strength is far from my peak level. At most, I can help you hold off one Dou Zong. As for more, I can't do anything about it. This needs to be made clear beforehand."

"The guy we're dealing with is only at the half-step Dou Zong level. There are no other Dou Zongs in his sect, so destroying his sect won't be difficult. As for other forces... I'm sure a seventh-grade alchemist will be enough to teach them how to choose sides." Yao Yan calmly pronounced the fate of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

The old alchemist chuckled and said, "Heh~ You're really lucky to have provoked you... But it's indeed easy for a seventh-grade alchemist to wipe out a sect without a Dou Zong. In fact, if you just ask, countless people will be willing to do this dirty work for you."

"I don't like owing favors to others," Yao said succinctly.

As Cai Lin watched the conversation between the old man and the young man, a hint of surprise flashed in her deep purple eyes. Although the other party had not released any pressure, the intense sense of danger constantly reminded her how terrifying this old man was. And this was only in his soul state. What level was he in real life? It seemed that even a Dou Zong was nothing special in his eyes.

At this moment, Yao Lao looked at Cai Lin with a serious expression and slowly said, "Queen Medusa, you want to evolve with a different kind of fire. This is quite difficult. In the cases I know, very few people have been able to survive. Even if they survive, they are either dead or crippled and have not completely shed their old bodies. If you want to reach perfection, you must be prepared to die."

"..."

Cai Lin remained silent and did not speak.

Yao Yan smiled casually and said, "Although this old man likes to play tricks, what he said is true. I also thought about this last night. If you want to completely transform, you must put yourself in a life-or-death situation and not have any wishful thinking. However, this matter is not urgent for now. After the trip to the Black Corner Region is over, I will study it for you in more detail."

There was a pause.

He introduced Cai Lin, saying, "His identity is quite special. He was a senior member of my former family, but like me, he was expelled from the family."

"Why do you tell me everything, you brat!"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary could no longer contain himself. He glared angrily at Yao Yan, unable to understand how this kid could say such a thing so casually. Even after all these years, he still held a grudge about this matter.

"It's not a big deal. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. At worst, I'll reopen my clan in the future, and the first line of the family tree will start with my name!"
