Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Chapter 225: Xiao Yan

At the Nalan family's house, a figure sneaked out of Nalan Yanran's room.

And this sneaky figure was none other than Nalan Yanran. At this moment, she was covering her growling stomach and walking quickly towards the kitchen.

She had a big appetite to begin with, and she only ate a bowl of rice at dinner in order not to be laughed at by Little Medical Fairy. For Nalan Yanran, it was almost the same as not eating anything. By midnight, she could not bear it any longer and slipped out to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, when passing by the courtyard of Xiao Yan's guest room, Nalan Yanran raised her eyebrows, looked towards Xiao Yan's room, and listened to some noises coming from inside.

Strange, is Xiao Yan still not asleep at this time?

A hint of doubt flashed through Nalan Yanran's mind, but before she could think about it, her stomach growled again, urging her master to satisfy it as soon as possible.

Hmm. Let's go find something to eat first. I can't stand not eating.

Nalan Yanran murmured in her heart, holding her stomach and quickly left here.

In Xiao Yan's room, feeling the soft touch in his mouth, the slight fragrance in his nose, and the golden snake eyes staring at him, Xiao Yan's entire head was filled with white.

Eh?

Eh eh eh? ? ?

Is this awkward?

Who is this?

where am I?

I was kissed again?

Why should I say again???

While Xiao Yan's brain remained in a state of chaos, Queen Medusa grabbed Xiao Yan's chin and kissed him deeply for dozens of seconds before slowly separating her cherry lips from his. Her lips were slightly moist, looking very attractive.

Queen Medusa sat up, raised her jade fingers and gently wiped her wet lips. Her blood-red tongue poked out from her lips and licked the edge of her lips as if she was savoring something, showing her temptation.

Immediately, Queen Medusa stroked the corner of her mouth and made a slow comment.

"Yeah, it feels pretty good."

"Well?!!"

At this moment Xiao Yan finally came back to his senses, his face flushed instantly, and he propped up his upper body and looked at Queen Medusa in front of him in surprise.

"Queen Medusa? Aren't you already asleep?"

Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Queen Medusa's uncovered body. His already flushed face turned even blood redder. Xiao Yan's head began to heat up crazily. Visible white steam was pouring out of Xiao Yan's head. His brain instantly shut down, and he lost consciousness the instant he woke up.

Queen Medusa, who was sitting on Xiao Yan, stared at Xiao Yan's series of reactions in a daze. She was confused for a long time before she slowly reacted. She lowered her head to look at her body, and then looked at Xiao Yan's blood-red face that had lost consciousness with a strange expression.

Is this kid too innocent? I haven't done anything yet, and this is not okay?

Queen Medusa touched her eyebrows speechlessly with her jade fingers, then stood up from Xiao Yan, stretching her devilishly hot body quite comfortably, and shrugged her shoulders with a slightly twisted neck with some tiredness.

"Really, after sleeping for so long, my body is almost rusted."

Queen Medusa waved her arms and finally regained control of her body, making her feel extremely happy.

Not only did they evolve successfully, but their strength also broke through to Dou Zong. In addition, the Snake People were now signing a contract with the Gama Empire. It was only a matter of time before the entire tribe migrated out of the barren desert. All the things that had worried her for hundreds of years were solved at once. She couldn't even describe how good her mood was now.

The greatest credit for all this goes to two human beings.

One is Xiao Ji, who has worked hard for the Snake People in the past six months, trying every possible way to eliminate the barriers between the Snake People and humans, even at the risk of his life. Now that the Gama Empire has agreed to peace talks with the Snake People, Xiao Ji's contribution is absolutely indispensable.

And the other one is Xiao Yan.

If Xiao Yan had not rushed into the strange fire that day without fear of death and fed him the strange pill, he would have turned into ashes long ago.

Queen Medusa knew that if she died, no matter how hard Xiao Jing tried, he would not be able to reach a reconciliation between the Snake People and the Gama Empire.

Without themselves, the Snake People had no capital to negotiate with the Gama Empire.

Queen Medusa stared down at Xiao Yan's unconscious face, with a gleam in her eyes.

These two siblings are truly the benefactors of this king and the snake people.

Now that the headache that has been bothering the Snake People has been solved, it is time to consider the follow-up matters.

For example, the future heir of the snake people.

Queen Medusa thought so, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a smile.

"Feel honored, Xiao Yan." Queen Medusa bent her waist slightly and extended her slender arms to Xiao Yan, "I like you. Come back to the Serpent Tribe with me."

Queen Medusa said this, her narrow golden snake pupils revealing an unquestionable look. She reached out and grabbed Xiao Yan's collar. Just as she was about to forcibly take Xiao Yan back to the Snake People, her mind suddenly froze, causing her movements to freeze instantly.

It's the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python! Its consciousness is still there!!!

"Damn it, I was too optimistic."

Queen Medusa covered her head with her hands, and the corners of her mouth twitched in dissatisfaction.

Feeling her consciousness gradually fading, Queen Medusa gave up struggling.

She knew very well that it would be futile to continue to fight. Her soul had not yet fully recovered, and slowly nourishing and recovering was the best solution.

"Forget it. I will stay outside with you for a while longer."

Queen Medusa murmured, her eyes fixed on Xiao Yan's face.

"Next time you appear, I will take you back with me."

Before Queen Medusa finished her words, her body burst into colorful light, covering the entire room.

When the light faded, Queen Medusa's figure had disappeared, and was replaced by the colorful little snake hovering around Xiao Yan. Its little head looked left and right, with confusion revealed in its cute big eyes. Then, when it saw the unconscious Xiao Yan, it quickly went into his arms and fell asleep again.

Yao Chen's figure gradually emerged from Xiao Yan's ring. Looking at the unconscious Xiao Yan, his heart was full of helplessness.

How popular are you? Even Queen Medusa wants to drag you back to be her heir. It's outrageous.

But thinking back to what Xiao Yan did for Queen Medusa that day, it wasn’t that outrageous.

A disciple full of peach blossoms

Yao Chen shook his head slightly, waved his hand to cover Xiao Yan with the quilt, and returned to the ring again.

This night, peace finally fell.

In the early morning, with the ringing of the biological clock, Nalan Yanran, who had eaten and drunk enough last night, opened her eyes, sat up from the bed and stretched comfortably.

Nalan Yanran glanced at Qinglin who was still sleeping, smiled slightly, reached out and touched her head gently, then got out of bed, put on her clothes, and quietly left the room.

“Hehehehehe~~~”

Nalan Yanran hummed a little tune happily. After washing up in the bathroom, she went straight to the kitchen.

It was a rare occasion for Xiao Yan to stay at her house, so how could she miss such a good opportunity to show off?

I should take advantage of this time to develop a good relationship with Xiao Yan. Although we cannot do things after marriage yet, maybe our relationship can quickly heat up and we can even kiss or something.

Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran's face showed a hint of excitement and shyness, and she became more and more motivated to make breakfast.

This isn't an impossible fantasy, right? After all, I'm Xiao Yan's fiancée. It's just a kiss, what's wrong with that?

Just as Nalan Yanran was fantasizing about this while making breakfast, the Nalan family's chef was standing outside the kitchen door, looking at his young lady busying around inside in astonishment, feeling quite sad in his heart.

The power of love is great. I made dinner yesterday and got up early this morning to make breakfast. When has my lady ever been so concerned about cooking before?

Soon, the chef left quietly. It was obvious that the young lady wanted to use cooking to earn impression points with her future son-in-law, and he was not a person who didn't know what to do.

Ten minutes later, Nalan Yanran prepared the corresponding number of breakfasts according to the number of guests. Of course, after yesterday's lesson, she had already finished her own breakfasts in the kitchen, leaving the last one to eat at the dining table with Xiao Yan and the others.

After placing breakfast on the table, Nalan Yanran immediately went to Xiao Yan's guest room, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Xiao Yan, it's time to get up and have breakfast~"

In the room, hearing Nalan Yanran's call, Xiao Yan trembled his eyebrows tightly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the not-so-familiar ceiling in front of him.

Covering his head, he slowly sat up, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Eh?

Did something happen yesterday?

"Xiao Yan, are you up?"

Nalan Yanran's voice sounded outside the door again, interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts. Xiao Yan reacted and responded quickly.

"Well, get up."

"Pack up and go to the restaurant for breakfast."

After saying this, Nalan Yanran turned around and left to wake up the others. Xiao Yan also shook his head, flipped over, jumped off the bed, and twisted his waist comfortably.

Things have been happening one after another during this period of time, and I have never slept so soundly. This night has almost dissipated all the fatigue that I have accumulated during this period of time.

After stretching for a while, Xiao Yan made the quilt again, and then went to the basin prepared in advance to wash up. After tidying up, he left the room and walked towards the restaurant.

On the way to the restaurant, Xiao Yan happened to meet Nalan Jie who was training in the yard. This was also Nalan Jie's homework every morning for decades.

I am the Lionheart Marshal of the Gama Empire and a role model for all soldiers. If I can't even supervise myself, how can I lead others?

Xiao Yan stood on the sidelines, watching Nalan Jie wielding his skills in the center of the yard. Although he was over sixty years old, Nalan Jie's movements did not give people a sense of decadence. Instead, he was like a lion in his prime, showing his majesty with his fists and feet. Even a mere insignificant turn revealed the domineering nature in Nalan Jie's heart!

After completing a complete set of moves, Nalan Jie stood there straight, slightly closed his eyes, inhaled deeply, and exhaled deeply.

At this moment, Nalan Jie heard a burst of applause. Looking sideways, he saw Xiao Yan clapping his hands on the sidelines, with sincere admiration in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, how was your rest last night?"

Nalan Jie asked with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, and Xiao Yan also responded with a smile.

"Very comfortable. This is the first time I have slept so comfortably in a while."

These words were absolutely true. Last night was the most comfortable night of sleep Xiao Yan had had in recent times.

I just feel like I forgot something?

When Nalan Jie heard Xiao Yan's answer, he nodded with satisfaction, realizing that Xiao Yan's words were not just a compliment.

Xiao Yan experienced so many things when he was in the Snake Tribe that he had no time to rest properly. It was only last night that he was able to put everything aside and rest peacefully.

Thinking of this, Nalan Jie showed a hint of apology in his eyes.

However, before long, this child would be in even greater trouble.

Nalan Jie shook his head lightly, raised one hand and invited Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, do you want to compete with me?"

"Eh?" Xiao Yan was suddenly startled by Nalan Jie's challenge. He waved his hands repeatedly, "Grandpa Nalan, I'm just a little fighting master. How can I compete with you?"

"Hahaha~"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Jie couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Kid, now you remember that you are just a little fighting master. Have you forgotten what you did in the snake tribe?"

Let’s not talk about what Nalan Jie didn’t know for now, let’s just talk about what Nalan Jie knew. In order to protect Yun Yun, he took a blow from the Dou Huang, and then severely injured two Dou Huangs with a subsequent blow. In the end, he dared to break into the strange fire alone, which even Jia Xingtian found difficult to deal with.

To be honest, no one would dare to believe that a fighting master could do any one of these three things.

Even so, Xiao Yan still thinks that he is just a small fighting master?

"Grandpa Nalan, you are too kind."

Xiao Yan scratched his face in embarrassment. He knew how fake what he had done that day was.

It is true that he protected Yun Yun and took the attack from Dou Huang, but he was also on the verge of death. If it weren't for Gu He's elixir, he would probably have died.

The subsequent attack severely injured Mulan Boss and Mulan Second. That was because the opponents were not prepared for him and their fighting spirit was greatly damaged. Their combat power might not even be one tenth of its original strength. He had to rely on Yao Chen's possession and earth-level fighting skills to severely injure them.

Not to mention the one who broke into the strange fire at the end. In Xiao Yan's opinion, that had nothing to do with strength. He simply forced himself to go in.

"Absolute praise? I think my evaluation of you is still low." Nalan Jie waved his sleeves and shouted: "Okay, man, don't talk about mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Just one sentence, can you accept my competition?" catch?"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan's expression froze. Nalan Jie had already said this, and if he didn't respond, it would be too disrespectful to this elder.

Immediately, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then clasped his hands together and saluted Nalan Jie solemnly.

"Junior Xiao Yan, I would like to ask Senior Nalan for advice."
