Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

After a while, Nalan Yanran, who had a beautiful fantasy in her heart, felt relaxed and happy. She raised her hand and greeted Xiao Yan and the other two.

"Let's go home!"

Nalan Yanran hummed a little tune as she walked in front, leading the way. Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy looked at each other, and followed behind with Qing Lin in confusion, not understanding why Nalan Yanran was suddenly so happy.

Following Nalan Yanran to the Nalan family, and stepping into the reception room, I saw Nalan Jie and Ziyun were inside. The little lion king had also woken up and was happily eating a large pot of barbecue in front of him.

"Oh, you're back." Zi Yun gently touched her face and saw Xiao Yan and the others coming in. "I just said I would go find you guys after my son finishes eating the barbecue."

“Things went more smoothly than expected.”

Xiao Yan replied with a smile, while Nalan Yanran excitedly came to Nalan Jie.

"Grandpa! Xiao Yan has obtained the qualification of a third-grade alchemist!"

"Third grade?!"

Nalan Jie paused slightly. He knew Xiao Yan could make medicine during the Little Medical Fairy incident. He also knew that Jia Xingtian asked Xiao Yan to go to the Mitre Auction House just to get a recommendation letter for the medicine making assessment. But he never expected that Xiao Yan could directly pass the assessment for a third-grade alchemist.

At this moment, Nalan Jie became more and more satisfied with Xiao Yan, his future grandson-in-law.

It is true that he valued Xiao Yan's character, but strength and alchemy skills were undoubtedly plus points.

"Xiao Yan, it's getting late today, you guys should just stay here. I will ask the servants to prepare dinner and guest rooms."

Nalan Jie spread out one hand and said this, while Xiao Yan smiled and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Then I'll ask Grandpa Nalan to make arrangements."

Afterwards, Xiao Yan and the others sat down and chatted with Nalan Jie, while Nalan Yanran went to ask the servants to prepare dinner.

Dozens of minutes later, Nalan Yanran returned to the reception room and chuckled.

"Grandpa, dinner is ready."

"Yes." Nalan Jie nodded and looked at Xiao Yan, "Let's go and try the cooking skills of my chef."

As soon as Nalan Jie said this, Nalan Yanran became a little dissatisfied.

"What chef's skills? I cooked the meal today."

"Oh?"

Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Nalan Jie raised his eyebrows.

Nalan Jie knew that Nalan Yanran could cook, but this girl seldom cooked for herself.

Thinking of this, Nalan Jie glanced at Xiao Yan, with a slight smile on his lips.

Look at my granddaughter, she really likes Xiao Yan.

"Haha~ Then go and try my granddaughter's cooking skills~"

Nalan Jie laughed and led everyone to the restaurant, where they sat down after being arranged by Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Yan was settled between Nalan Jie and Nalan Yanran, which made Xiao Yixian bit her chopsticks in dissatisfaction, but she didn't know what to say. After all, logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with this position allocation.

As for the little lion king? He had already eaten his fill, and when he arrived at the restaurant, he lay down on the floor and fell asleep again.

"Tsk! How do you use this thing?"

Ziyun looked at the chopsticks in her hand awkwardly, and wanted to try to imitate the operations of others, but she couldn't do it. She was so angry that she wanted to throw the chopsticks away and use her hands directly.

"Sister Ziyun, let me teach you."

The Little Doctor Fairy looked at Zi Yun who was a little embarrassed, and taught her how to use chopsticks. This was also a part of getting her used to human society. Otherwise, Zi Yun would have to eat with her hands wherever she went. How could this work? It was rare for her to become such a popular figure, and eating with her hands was too indecent.

"Xiao Yan, is it delicious?"

During the dinner, Nalan Yanran asked Xiao Yan for his opinion with a smile. Xiao Yan swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded affirmatively.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

This compliment was very plain, and Xiao Yan was sincere. Among all the food Xiao Yan had eaten so far, it was probably only slightly worse than the dishes made by Xiao Li. Really just a little bit.

Nalan Jie looked at Nalan Yanran's empty bowl and put down chopsticks, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Yanran, you don't want to eat anymore?"

"Ok?"

Nalan Yanran didn't react for a moment, and Nalan Jie continued.

"Don't you usually eat seven or eight bowls?!"

"Grandpa, come and try the chicken legs Yanran made and see if they are delicious."

Before Nalan Jie could finish his words, Nalan Yanran stood up at an extremely fast speed, picked up a chicken leg with chopsticks and stuffed it into Nalan Jie's mouth, squinting her eyes and revealing a slight smile, with a hint of dark air on her Hexi face.

Then Nalan Jie seemed to understand something, and started to gnaw on the chicken leg silently. He said no more, but kept muttering to himself.

Is there anything wrong with being able to eat it?I really don’t understand today’s young people.

After dinner, Nalan Yanran took Xiao Yan and the others to the guest rooms that had been arranged for them.

Xiao Yan had a room of his own, Zi Yun and the little lion king had a room, and the little medical fairy also had a room of her own due to her physical condition.

As for Qing Lin, Xiao Yan was afraid that she would be too lonely sleeping alone, so he asked her to Nalan Yanran. Nalan Yanran was happy to accept it and took her to her room to rest.

"Xiao Yan, good night~"

After greeting a few people, Xiao Yan came to his guest room, lay on his back on the bed, and looked at the clean yet unfamiliar ceiling.

It was not until this moment that his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, were finally able to relax, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It has been half a year since I left home.

Father, Xun'er, Mei'er, Sister Xiao Yu, Cousin Xiao Ning, as well as the elders and peers in the family.

How are they doing now?

It seemed like he hadn't been able to relax like this for a long time. As Xiao Yan thought about it, a feeling of fatigue surged into his mind and he became sleepy in waves.

Xiao Yan did not resist at all. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep within a few seconds.

Yao Chen in the ring smiled helplessly when he saw this scene, supported Xiao Yan and put his head on the pillow, then gently covered him with a blanket.

Things have been happening one after another during this period of time, and Xiao Yan is really exhausted.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's somewhat naive sleeping face and returned to the ring with a smile.

Have a good rest, Xiao Yanzi~

"Hey wake up."

"Kid, wake up!"

"Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan didn't know how long he had slept. In a daze, he felt someone calling him to wake up, and even reaching out to pinch his face.

But Xiao Yan was really too tired, with a look of displeasure on his sleepy eyes. He gently waved his hand to open the hand that was holding his face, and continued to sleep soundly, without any sign of waking up.

This made the beautiful lady riding on Xiao Yan feel very unhappy.

Long red hair, golden snake eyes, a smooth and uncovered body, who else could it be but Queen Medusa?

"This kid is really sleeping soundly."

Seeing that Xiao Yan couldn't be woken up no matter how hard she called him, Medusa twitched her lips in displeasure.

If it had been anyone else, she would have slapped him.

But facing Xiao Yan, she couldn't do that.

Although she was in great pain on the day of evolution, she remembered everything around her clearly.

The scene of Xiao Yan, who risked his life that day, rushing into the strange fire with the body of a battle master to save herself, has been deeply engraved in Medusa's memory.

It is only natural that the leaders of the snake people are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, because the entire snake people depend on his existence.

But Xiao Yan, after all, had nothing to do with that incident, so there was no need for him to risk his life for it.

Even for his sister Xiao Jing, it's not worth it.

Medusa knew very well that if Xiao Jing had to choose between the Snake People and Xiao Yan, Xiao Jing would definitely choose Xiao Yan, even if it meant abandoning all his previous efforts.

Xiao Yan himself was also very clear about this.

Therefore, Xiao Yan would rush into the strange fire just for her.

Thinking of this, Medusa's heart couldn't help but ripple.

She has known since childhood about human insidiousness, human ugliness, human desires, and human greed.

Although not as extreme as Mobas, it is not much different.

He has always maintained an attitude of three parts indifference and seven parts hostility towards humans, protecting the snake people in the depths of the Tagor Desert.

I thought that I would never change my opinion of human beings in my lifetime.

However, in just half a year, two people broke his own cognition.

One is Xiao Wei, and the other is Xiao Yan.

The appearance of these brother and sister completely broke Medusa's inherent perception of humans.

Comparing Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan, Medusa had considered the existence of someone like Xiao Jing and did not think that the existence of such a person was impossible.

But Medusa never expected someone like Xiao Yan.

In everyone's eyes, this kind of person can only be described as a fool.

Except for fools, no one can do the same thing as Xiao Yan.

[Your Majesty, my brother's brain is not very good, which has always been a headache for me, but on the other hand, it is precisely because his brain is not very good that more people are influenced by his words and deeds, which is something I will never be able to compare with.]

This is what Xiao Ji once said to Medusa. At that time, Medusa could not understand what she meant.

But now, Medusa understood.

He was aware of everything happening in the outside world while he was asleep, and naturally knew that the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was entrusted to Xiao Yan by the seven leaders.

Because they believe in Xiao Yan.

It was simply a fantasy in the past that a human could win the trust of seven snake-people leaders at the same time, and even be willing to entrust the queen whom he would serve all his life to them.

And this fantasy is something that Xiao Yan, a human with a poor brain, can do, and only he can do it.

Medusa leaned down slightly and unhesitatingly placed her huge breasts on Xiao Yan's chest. Her two slender white jade legs swung behind her. With a faint smile of playfulness on her face, she lightly tapped Xiao Yan's honest sleeping face with her slender jade fingers and couldn't help but sigh.

"Just looking at this silly face that is sleeping and drooling, I really can't believe that it is the same person who rushed into the strange fire that day."

Medusa murmured, feeling a little throbbing in her heart.

She hadn't experienced this kind of throbbing for hundreds of years. The last time she felt this way was when she succeeded to the throne of the Snake People Queen.

But Queen Medusa clearly understood that the throbbing in her heart at that time was definitely very different from now.

When Medusa succeeded to the throne of queen, the throbbing she felt was because of herself, but this time the throbbing was because of Xiao Yan in front of her.

I couldn't help but feel a desire that I had never felt before.

Medusa never suppresses her desire for things that are within her reach.

Queen Medusa stretched out her hand, gently pinched Xiao Yan's chin, and her mouth gradually moved towards Xiao Yan's lips. Her seductive red lips also came in front of Xiao Yan's lips, and the next second she could kiss him without any hindrance.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan woke up.

Feeling the heavy object pressing on him, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Medusa's stunningly beautiful face.

Xiao Yan's mind was suddenly stunned.

Eh?

Who is this?

Xiao Yan, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. In addition, Medusa looked younger than before, so he didn't react to what was going on.

Medusa was also slightly stunned when she saw Xiao Yan wake up.

Are you awake?

Immediately, Medusa pressed her lips directly against Xiao Yan's lips, and instinctively kissed him deeply. Her golden snake pupils stared at Xiao Yan's already widened pupils, and a silent word came out of them.

This is the reward I bestow upon you for your heroic sacrifice. Please accept it with gratitude.
