Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Xiao, Xiao Yan, you..."

As Lieyan watched Yan, who was a full twelve years younger than him, approach, his heart pounded rapidly in his chest, and he felt a strange sense of tension.

"hey-hey……"

Yan looked down at the simple bed, which now seemed incredibly alluring. The room was peaceful and comfortable, and with such a perfect and beautiful woman like Lie Yan beside him, if Yan didn't have any thoughts in his subconscious, he wouldn't be a man.

"Flame, what are you hiding from? Come help us! Let's put on the comforter, otherwise you'll catch a cold in the middle of the night."

Yan sensed that Lieyan was still somewhat wary, so he didn't rush. Instead, he took out a fleece quilt from his storage soul tool. It wasn't thick, but it was quite soft and large, the kind of large quilt you would sleep with.

Don't ask him why he carries such a thing with him. The answer is that it's for convenience when hunting for spirit rings. After all, he'll be spending a lot of time outdoors, and if he carries a pretty girl with him, the opportunity will come his way.

"Oh."

After hearing Yan's call, Lieyan felt a strange sense of relief mixed with a touch of lost joy. Somewhat dazed, she leaned over to help Yan spread out the quilt, but then Yan, disregarding all martial ethics, launched a sneak attack.

"Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"

Lieyan leaned closer, and the moment her slender hand touched the quilt, Yan grabbed her soft little hand with both of his and rolled her over. As the soft quilt was spread over them, the atmosphere between them became increasingly ambiguous. Faced with Yan's increasingly fiery gaze, Lieyan could no longer resist.

Flame lay on the bed, and her jade-like face instantly turned red, like a ripe red apple. Her delicate skin made Yan want to take a bite. Since he had the urge, why suppress it? He couldn't help but lean down and lower his head.

"Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"

Flame shifted uncomfortably, trying to escape Yan's burning gaze and increasingly close face. When Yan's face was right in front of them, they could both feel each other's breath.

"I see something dirty on your face, let me clean it for you."

Yan made up an excuse, but whether Lieyan trusted him too much or was too naive, she nodded blankly and seemed to relax. However, the blush on her pretty face did not fade and was even more alluring in the dim light.

In this situation, if Yan were still a man, he absolutely could not tolerate it. He looked down at Lieyan's delicate and flawless face, and couldn't help but kiss her.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, don't do this..."

At first, Lieyan didn't react, but after someone carefully admired her stunningly beautiful face, she finally realized what was happening, and her whole face turned bright red.

After tasting the appetizers, Yan felt somewhat satisfied and naturally wanted more. "Lieyan, although we're not husband and wife yet, you've agreed to be my girlfriend, so we're a couple, right?"

"Ah."

Lieyan felt conflicted and didn't dare to look Yan in the eye. She had a bad feeling; this little rascal was really good at playing these word games.

Back in the Earth's core, she didn't completely reject Yan's confession the first time. Then he made increasingly outrageous moves a second and third time. However, Lie Yan didn't give in so quickly and agree to be her wife.

But Yan was also a clever girl, and she told Lieyan some love stories, explaining that before humans get married, they can spend some time together, which is better than a simple boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but they are not yet married, so they are called lovers.

Although Lieyan knew in his heart that this guy was up to no good, how could he bear to refuse at that time? So he acquiesced. Who knew that someone would bring up the matter again now, clearly with some excessive plans.

Lieyan was hesitant to meet Yan's gaze. She had met many people along the way, including human couples, and for some reason, a sense of anticipation had arisen within her. She realized she was becoming more and more like a human woman.

Under the dim light, Yan gazed at Lieyan and saw her face gradually turn crimson. He chuckled inwardly and slowly slid his right hand, which had been holding Lieyan's hand, down her jade-like arm.

Lieyan's hands were originally held by Yan's palms, but when the other person let go, his hands were still facing upwards without making any response, which was obviously tacit consent.

Yan received the signal and became increasingly adventurous, groping around the waist of the stunning goddess. Lie Yan blushed and pretended not to notice, but her breathing became slightly erratic.

Yan's lips curled into a smile. He slowly took her right hand in his left and intertwined their fingers. He leaned his head down again. Seeing that Lieyan turned her head away and dared not look at him, he said smugly, "Lieyan, do you know how human couples get along?"

"I...how could I have known? Waaah, Xiao Yan..."

So nervous was Lieyan that he didn't even notice that someone's hand had already untied the barrier around his waist.

"Then I'll teach you."

Yan lowered her head and smiled. At this moment, Lieyan was like a docile lamb, and Yan turned her body around.

"Let's leave it at that for now..."

Yan's right hand slid down from bottom to top, pinched her chin, then lowered his head slightly and slowly kissed her red lips.

Blazing Flame was completely lost in the series of actions of the person in question. Her face was flushed, her eyes were tightly closed, and her body was stiff. Yan kissed her directly, gently savoring the goddess's kiss. Blazing Flame responded clumsily, occasionally letting out a soft moan.

"Xiao Yan, it's not ready yet."

She didn't know how much time had passed, but her breathing became rapid, and her entire body turned red to her heels, as if she had been pulled out of the water. Finally, the raging flames stopped Yan from taking the last step. She wasn't ready for that kind of thing.

Yan didn't ask for much, he just nodded and lay down to the side, his right arm slightly encircling her, and Lie Yan naturally came into his arms. Looking at the Lie Yan Queen lying in his arms, her face flushed and her dress disheveled, Yan felt a faint sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, Lie Yan saw the blush on her snow-white skin, and her original dress could not hide her graceful figure at all.

"Flame, shouldn't you take off your clothes to sleep?"

Yan suddenly rolled his eyes, and before she could refuse, he reached for her clothes and threw her long, fiery dress out of the quilt.

At this moment, Lieyan couldn't refuse Yan's every move. Although she was extremely shy, she let him do whatever he wanted, only adhering to her last line of defense and letting this bad boy do whatever he wanted.

Unfortunately, what Lieyan didn't know was that Yan didn't intend for it to become a final good thing so quickly. It wasn't that he had a conscience or anything, but rather that his age didn't allow it.

At thirteen, he was considered to have reached puberty, but he wasn't truly an adult yet. He was at the stage where he had the will and the ability, but not quite there yet, and he wasn't planning to take the final step so quickly.

Although he didn't intend to truly indulge in pleasure, how could he possibly behave himself with such a beautiful and charming woman as the Flame Queen by his side? He wasn't planning to eat for the time being, but he couldn't waste such a valuable resource.

Yan was very pleased with the Flame Queen's submissive behavior. Conquering such a wonderful goddess as the Flame Queen would be an extraordinary achievement.

Looking at the many women he had met, the only one who could rival Lieyan was the Goddess of Light, whom he had never met. Unfortunately, she was already married. Yan wanted to wield a hoe, but what could he do if he couldn't even see her?

Besides the Goddess of Light, the Flame Queen was the second strongest person she had encountered, a true deity, who was a manifestation of the Earth's core red lotus, and always carried a faint fragrance.

Yan held the beauty in his arms and whispered, "Lieyan, don't worry, I will never force you in the slightest before you are truly ready. I will wait for you..."

"Xiao Yan".

The Flame Queen called softly, only pressing her cheek against his chest without saying another word. In the arms of this naughty boy, she felt a sense of security and comfort she had never felt before.

Although Yan's strength was incomparable to hers, she felt incredibly safe. In her heart, she had already made a decision, but due to certain special reasons, she wasn't fully ready yet.

"Flame. I love you."

On the simple bed made of banana leaves, Yan held Lieyan in one arm and suddenly called out softly, taking her hand and placing it on his heart.

Flame seemed to sense his emotional change and hugged him tightly around the waist. "Don't worry, I will be with you forever and ever. I want you to be immortal, just like me."

This was a rare instance of Lieyan taking the initiative to hug Yan, who naturally returned the embrace. The two remained in this embrace, enjoying this wonderful feeling.

After an unknown amount of time, Lieyan whispered in Yan's ear, "It's late. How much longer are you going to hold me? Haven't you had enough?"

Yan honestly replied, "I haven't hugged you enough, and I'll never have enough."

Flame, shy and delicate, stirred in his arms and kissed him again. "Let me go, you greedy and wicked man."

Yan lowered his voice and replied, "Then, shall we... go to sleep?"

"Xiao Yan, you're so naughty..."

She gently patted Yan and then snorted, "Your eyes are telling me you're not being honest."

"Go to sleep."

Yan simply smiled, embraced Lieyan, and closed his eyes. Lieyan pouted slightly, glanced at him with dissatisfaction, then leaned closer, somewhat intoxicated by the warm and comforting embrace.

Yan's even breathing reached her ears. Lieyan slowly raised her head and looked at the boy's sleeping face with a satisfied smile. The softest part of her heart was constantly touched, and her inner softness melted in this tranquility.

Lieyan gently reached out without making a sound, quietly took Yan's other hand, leaned against him, placed Yan's hands on her waist, curled up slightly, and nestled completely in his embrace.

She closed her eyes with a smile and a faint sense of satisfaction, and soon, the same even breathing sounded softly.

Chapter 166 The Source of Life

As the warm sunlight streamed into the treehouse through the cracks in the window, Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked down to see Lieyan curled up in his arms.

"Get up."

Yan lowered his head and woke the beauty, though the way he did it was a bit... mainly because he noticed the empress's lips were a little dry and he just wanted to moisten them. He assured her he had absolutely no bad intentions.

Just as Flame was about to slap the naughty boy to vent his frustration, a slight noise came from under the treehouse, followed by Lem's voice, "Guests, are you awake yet?"

"Flame asked if we were awake yet."

Yan, having gained an advantage by bowing his head, pointed outside just as Lieyan was about to hit him again. The latter, embarrassed and annoyed, slapped him and turned around to put on her clothes.

Yan would naturally not miss the opportunity to dress the Empress; at such a time, he would definitely need to personally measure the size of his territory.

Hmm, the two mounds on top haven't changed much. It must be because Lieyan is too shy and hasn't been massaging them enough. I still need to work harder for the sake of my future children's food supply.

Yan's antics left Lieyan utterly helpless, unable to do anything about it. He could only silently endure Yan's excessive dressing antics. Just as he finished dressing and was about to run out, Yan grabbed him.

Finally, seeing his pitiful, pleading eyes, she took the initiative to help him put on his clothes, which naturally involved another indescribable process.

"Please come with me, esteemed guests. Elder Tam wishes to see you."

When Yan and Lieyan walked out of the treehouse and came to a large tree branch, Lem had been waiting for a long time. After calling out to the two of them, he slid down from the treehouse first.

Yan and Lieyan followed Lem down to the ground. Led by Lem, they descended from the treehouse and followed the stream in the forest. After walking for about the time it takes to eat a meal, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a large lawn of at least tens of thousands of square meters.

There are no huge trees here, the terrain is flat, and a stream flows around the lawn, creating an even more vibrant atmosphere of life that can be seen with the naked eye.

In the middle of the lawn, some elderly forest elves were waiting. When they saw the two of them arrive, they came forward to greet them. The one walking at the front was Priest Tam.

Priest Tam stepped forward with a smile and said, "It's a pleasure to have you two guests come all this way. I wonder if you had a comfortable stay in our tribe yesterday?"

Yan smiled and said, "Priest Tam is too kind. The Forest of Life is truly a paradise on earth. It is filled with the breath of nature, making it an exceptionally comfortable place to rest. The Forest Fairy Clan is indeed a people blessed by the Goddess of Life."

Tam sighed. "If only that were true. I hope the Goddess of Life won't abandon her people. My two guests, I have a few questions for you. Please come with me."

Yan and Lieyan followed the priest Tam to the rattan table and chairs in the center of the lawn and sat down. The young forest spirit immediately served them various fruits and fruit juices.

Yan picked up a glass of juice and handed it to Lieyan, then turned to Elder Tam and said, "Elder Tam, may I ask what brings you here?"

After a moment of hesitation, Tam tentatively said, "Honorable guest, I heard from Lem that you gave him some gifts yesterday."

Yan nodded. "That's right. We plan to stay in the Forest of Life for a while and want to enjoy some rare fruits every day. We'll definitely need to trouble Lem, so we gave him some useful things."

"I see. Thank you both, Daleham."

Tam nodded, and after thinking for a while, he explained, "Please don't blame me for being suspicious, but the Forest of Life has been in some chaos in recent years."

He sighed and continued, "For thousands of years, we forest demons have lived in this Forest of Life, a group that has remained stagnant and isolated."

We work diligently every day, using our familiarity with plants to cultivate various kinds of plants, making the Forest of Life even more beautiful. And we have also received the protection of the Goddess of Life, allowing us to multiply in this Forest of Life and become the masters of this forest.

Many years ago, when humans first entered the Forest of Life, they were quite friendly to us. Like you, most of them came to the Forest of Life for sightseeing.

We forest spirits are kind and hospitable by nature. Naturally, we wouldn't refuse them entry into the Forest of Life, and we'd gladly act as their guides, introducing them to the many wonders of the Forest of Life. For a long time, we've lived in peace.

Later travelers, after tasting our brewed elixir of life, became captivated by it and expressed their desire to buy it.
