Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

After a long time, Xiao Yan slowly came back to his senses and looked down at Yun Xiao in his arms. What flashed through his mind was the scene of Xiao Yu being taken away by the Soul Palace in front of him.

With a chill in his heart, he held Yun Xiao tightly in his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered to himself.

"I will definitely protect them, absolutely."

"Daddy?"

When Yun Xiao heard her father's incomprehensible words, she looked up at him in confusion. Xiao Yan smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked her hair, with an incomparable kindness in his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a breath of air. He turned his head and saw that the young lady staff member who had received him at the Black Seal City Auction House was running hurriedly on the street. When she caught sight of Xiao Yan, her eyes suddenly lit up and she rushed up quickly.

“Captain Xiao Yan! I finally found you!” The staff member stared at Xiao Yan with glowing eyes, and bowed his head repeatedly in excitement to apologize: “I’m so sorry, I didn’t recognize you just now!”

"It doesn't matter. I didn't intend to make a big fuss about it."

Xiao Yan waved his hand kindly. Rather than running the Black Horn Region into this state, Xiao Yan hoped that he could develop according to his ideal even if he was not in the Black Horn Region.

He was very satisfied with the current situation in the Black Horn Domain, so Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to announce that he was still alive.

"If it was Sect Master Yuan Yi who asked you to come to me, please tell him that I have my own things to do in the next two days and will take the initiative to visit him later."

"Yes! I will report the matter to the Sect Master truthfully! As for the herbs you need, we promise to collect them all for you in the shortest possible time!" The staff members responded in succession, "Then I'll take my leave first!"

After saying that, she ran towards the auction house in a hurry. However, she stopped halfway and turned around to come to Xiao Yan.

"Excuse me, is there anything else?"

Xiao Yan looked at her in confusion. The staff member's face flushed. She took out a signature board and a signature pen from her arms, her eyes full of admiration.

"Um. Could you please sign an autograph for me?"

"Ah? Ah, yes, I can."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, took the signature board, and signed his name under the expectant gaze of the staff.

To be honest, Xiao Yan's handwriting wasn't that beautiful, but the staff member didn't show any disappointment in her eyes. After Xiao Yan signed and handed the signature board back to her, she jumped up excitedly while holding the signature board.

The autograph of the leader of the evil prison! At least this is the only one I have so far!

"Thank you very much! Thank you very much!"

The staff member nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude, then left in a hurry holding the signature board. Looking at the receding figure, Xiao Yan twitched his lips slightly.

Is it so exciting to get my autograph?

"Dad, are you a famous person?"

Yun Xiao raised her head and looked at Xiao Yan curiously. Xiao Yan chuckled and patted her little head.

"Perhaps."

Then Xiao Yan held her up and stood up, walking slowly towards another street.

I promised Xiaoxiao that I would spend some time with her today, and I can’t waste too much time on other things.

"This one, this one, and this one, that one, pack them all for me!"

In a clothing store in Black Horn, Cai Lin selected a large pile of clothes very generously. The waiter was all smiles and did not show any dissatisfaction with Cai Lin's instructions.

The customer is the Dou Di. Even to working people like them, the Dou Di is not as important as the customer. The clothes picked by this beautiful woman are all luxury goods. The sales from this trip are equivalent to her two months' sales.

Xiao Ji also took this rare opportunity to choose clothes, but the ones he chose were relatively simple and not that expensive, which was in stark contrast to Cai Lin.

As for Zi Yun, she was lying on a chair in the store with a look of distress on her face. Her proud figure made others envious. As a fellow Warcraft and a woman, she really couldn't understand why Cai Lin could go shopping so enthusiastically. She could hardly walk after visiting the fifth store. She felt that even fighting with someone of the same level was not as tiring as this.

“You bought too much.”

Yun Yun looked at Cai Lin's back, raised her eyebrows slightly, and revealed helplessness in her eyes.

Not to mention that she herself is a frugal person. In the past few years, the Yunlan Sect has been paying off debts to the Jia Ma Empire. It was only half a year ago that it finally paid off all the debts. How could it have any extra money to buy these luxury goods?

On the other hand, Cai Lin really searched through all the clothing stores along the way, and specifically looked for expensive items. The clothes she bought were enough to cover the basic expenses of the Yunlan Sect for two months.

"I will be travelling a long way from now on, so I will buy as many clothes as I can if I have the chance." Cai Lin responded confidently, and then turned to look at her, "Just tell me what you like, don't worry about the money, I will treat you."

Cai Lin raised her head proudly, while Yun Yun shook her head slightly to express her refusal, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Before, whenever they met, they were always at loggerheads with each other. But now that they have talked it out, Cai Lin really doesn't treat Yun Yun as an outsider. To some extent, Cai Lin and Zi Yun have similar personalities, or are all Warcraft women like this?

Then Yun Yun remembered her conversation with Cai Lin yesterday, frowned slightly, and asked softly.

"Cai Lin, are you really not going to tell Xiao Yan about your pregnancy?"

"Ah, at least I'm not going to tell you now." Cai Lin held a purple cheongsam and examined it carefully, and replied softly, "If I tell you, Xiao Yan will definitely not let me go to Zhongzhou with him given his personality. I don't want to see my man take risks alone."

"Pack this one for me as well."

As she spoke, Cai Lin threw the purple cheongsam to the waiter and turned to look at Yun Yun.

"The gestation period of the snake people is different from that of humans. Moreover, at my level, I can adjust the gestation period to the maximum extent. There is no need to worry that I will be affected by this."

Listening to Cai Lin's words, Yun Yun understood what she meant. Xiao Yan was going to the dangerous Zhongzhou next, and Cai Lin was now a one-star Dou Zun. At least for now, there was no one stronger than Cai Lin around Xiao Yan. With her following him, Yun Yun could feel more at ease.

"Cai Lin, you should explain this to Xiao Yan. At least let him know about this." Yun Yun said this, and before Cai Lin could refute, she added, "I know that Xiao Yan will definitely not agree to your going to Zhongzhou after knowing this, but this is not just your business after all. You should seek his opinion and change his mind instead of deliberately hiding it, especially when it is such an important matter."

"I agree." Xiao Yu, who had just finished picking out clothes, came over and said softly, "Yun Yun's matter has already made Yan'er feel bad once. Although your current situation is not that serious, if Yan'er knew that he had taken his pregnant wife to Zhongzhou without knowing anything, how bad would he feel?"

After hearing what Yun Yun and Xiao Wei said, Cai Lin was silent for a while, then turned her head and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Humph! What does his thinking have to do with me?"

"."

Hearing Cai Lin's willful words, Yun Yun and Xiao Wei both showed helplessness.

Sure enough, even though he and Xiao Yan became the closest, his self-willed personality could not be changed.

The two sighed and were about to persuade her again when Cai Lin suddenly spoke.

"But you are right." Cai Lin raised her slender jade fingers and twirled the red hair beside her ears. "After all, he is the father of the child. He should be made aware of this."

Cai Lin's words made Yun Yun and Xiao Wei a little stunned. Although her tone was still not very good, it could be heard that Cai Lin was indeed thinking about Xiao Yan.

Obviously, this would have been impossible for the previous Cai Lin.

"Of course, I must go with you to Zhongzhou." Cai Lin put one hand on his waist, slowly raised the other hand and clenched it into a fist, and said proudly: "If he dares not agree, then I will beat him until he agrees!"

"."

Hearing Cai Lin's extremely overbearing declaration, Yun Yun and Cai Lin couldn't help but tremble their brows.

Has her personality changed or not?

Chapter 530: I Give You Face

In the evening, inside the room, he stared at Cai Lin, his eyes full of determination.

Just now, when Xiao Yan came back with Yun Xiao, Zi Yan complained immediately, then took Yun Xiao and Zi Jing to go out for fun. The other members of the Xiao family also took the opportunity to stroll around the Black Horn Region before leaving, buying some local specialties to take back.

As soon as Ziyun came back, she went straight to her room and lay down to sleep. Walking around the street for an afternoon was more tiring than fighting for an afternoon. If she had known this, she would not have gone.

Then Cai Lin called Xiao Yan into the room, with Yun Yun and Xiao Wei also sitting beside them. Her purpose was naturally to tell Xiao Yan about her pregnancy, and she also bluntly demanded that she still had to follow Xiao Yan to Zhongzhou.

After hearing the news that Cai Lin was pregnant, Xiao Yan's face darkened and he said something that did not surprise Cai Lin and the other two.

"I disagree."

“Heh~ I guessed that this was your answer.” Cai Lin crossed her arms, leaned back slightly, and glanced at Xiao Yan calmly, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking for your opinion, I’m just informing you. After all, you’re the father of the child, you should know this.”

As she spoke, Cai Lin narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Xiao Yan closely.

"But I'm going to Zhongzhou. Unless you don't want to go, don't try to get rid of me."

"My trip to Zhongzhou has nothing to do with you. You must return to the Jiama Empire. You are pregnant now. Why should I take you to Zhongzhou to take risks?!"

Xiao Yan's tone gradually became agitated, and Cai Lin looked at him coldly.

"Why? Because you are my man! I don't want to be a widow without knowing anything. Even if I die, you have to die in front of me!"

"Cai Lin! Going to Zhongzhou to save Sister Xiao Yu is my own business. It has nothing to do with you!"

“Xiao Yu has nothing to do with me. You are the one who has something to do with me.” Cai Lin stared at Xiao Yan, not giving in. “If you die in Zhongzhou, even if the child is born safely in the future, how can I explain it to the child? Her mother watched her father go to Zhongzhou to die, right?!”

"I can protect myself, so you don't need to worry about me!"

Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and glared at Cai Lin angrily. Cai Lin was not to be outdone. She stood up, grabbed Xiao Yan by the collar, and stared at him face to face.

"You're talking nonsense! How could I not know what kind of person you are?! If you really had the consciousness to protect yourself, you wouldn't have rushed into the strange fire to save me in the Tagor Desert without thinking anything else!"

"That was three years ago! I wouldn't be so reckless now!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I've seen through you! You're such a stubborn person, you can't change in this lifetime, let alone three years!"

Hearing Cai Lin's low roar, Xiao Yan's face gradually became gloomy, and he spoke in a serious voice.

"Anyway, no matter what you say, I will never take you to Zhongzhou. I promised to be responsible for you."

“Ha! Is this how you act? You abandoned your pregnant wife and went to Zhongzhou to seek death for another woman?” Cai Lin suddenly pushed Xiao Yan away and sneered, “Forget it. I don’t want to argue with you any more. I have expected your reaction. Now I only give you two choices. Either you go back to Jia Ma Empire with me and forget about Zhongzhou. Or you let me go to Zhongzhou with you. There is no other possibility.”

Cai Lin slowly raised her hand, pinched her fingers, and her aura slowly surged. Her extremely beautiful face now looked exceptionally ferocious.

"If you don't agree, then I will beat you until you agree! I will take this opportunity to make you understand from the bottom of your heart who is the superior!"

"If you want to fight, I will fight you!" Xiao Yan was uncompromising, his attitude was unshakable, and his fighting spirit gradually rose. "I'm going to Zhongzhou, and you can't follow me!"

The two of them were so aggressive that the whole room began to tremble. Xiao Wei and Yun Yun finally couldn't sit still anymore and quickly stood up to comfort the two of them.

"Yan'er! Calm down!"

Xiao Ji quickly grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulders to stop him, and Yun Yun also whispered to comfort Cai Lin.

"Cai Lin, don't be angry, you are still pregnant. I will talk to Xiao Yan next. You sit next to me and calm down."

"Humph! I don't know what to do!"

Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Yan coldly, and was half-dragged by Yun Yun to sit on the bed on the other side. She folded her arms, turned her head to the window, and sulked alone.

She really couldn't understand it. It was fine that Xiao Yan didn't know what was good for him before the matter was accomplished, but after the matter was accomplished, he was still so ungrateful! Do you think this king is willing to go to Zhongzhou with you? ! It's all because of you, a stubborn person!

I'm giving you face by not forcibly dragging you back to the Jia Ma Empire. Are you still bargaining with me? I'm giving you face?!

To be honest, according to Cai Lin's previous personality, she would not care whether Xiao Yan could save Xiao Yu or not. She would just slap Xiao Yan unconscious and take him back. He would never be able to leave the Jia Ma Empire in his life.

Cai Lin now considered Xiao Yan's inner feelings and knew that he would never feel at ease in his life if he didn't rescue Xiao Yu, so she proposed to go to Jia Ma Empire with him. This was already a big concession, but Xiao Yan didn't appreciate it at all! Who wouldn't be angry about this? !

At this time, Xiao Yan was also forced to sit down by Xiao Ji. After comforting Cai Lin, Yun Yun slowly walked over. Looking at Xiao Yan with a frown on his face, she raised her head and exchanged a glance with Xiao Ji behind him. Both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Xiao Yan did not agree with Cai Lin going to Zhongzhou because he was worried that Cai Lin might encounter an accident in Zhongzhou, not to mention that she was pregnant.

Cai Lin had to follow Xiao Yan to Zhongzhou because she was afraid that Xiao Yan might encounter some unforeseen dangers if he went to Zhongzhou alone. She would feel uneasy if she didn't go with him.

Even if both parties' starting point is for the other party, disputes are inevitable.

Yun Yun knew clearly what the dispute between the two parties was about, and she agreed with both of their ideas, so neither of them was right or wrong.

Just out of selfish considerations, she also hoped that Cai Lin could go to Zhongzhou with Xiao Yan. In this way, not only herself, but also the people around Xiao Yan would feel more at ease.

"Xiao Yan, you."

"I go out for a while."

Just as Yun Yun was about to speak, Xiao Yan stood up, turned around and left the room, slamming the door shut, causing Yun Yun's shoulders to tremble slightly.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Yun Yun's eyes revealed speechlessness. She turned her head slightly to look at Cai Lin who was sitting on the bed.

"Cai Lin, didn't we agree to talk peacefully? Why did we start arguing right away?"

"Humph! This is not my fault. He was the one who quarreled with me first!"

Cai Lin curled her lips in displeasure, and Yun Yun raised a hand and said helplessly.

"We guessed it in advance, didn't we? You even swore to me that you would never quarrel with him."

"."

Cai Lin was speechless.

To be honest, they had expected Xiao Yan to behave like this, and Cai Lin had previously thought that she could endure it.

However, even though I had expected it, when it really happened before my eyes, I really couldn't suppress the anger in my heart, and I felt too suffocated if I didn't speak out.

At this time, Xiao Yu on the side also sighed deeply and said slowly.

"Given Yan'er's personality, if you talk to him in a gentle and reasonable way, he might change his mind, but once you start arguing, he will become more determined in his opinion."

"What should we do now?" Yun Yun crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Wait until Xiao Yan calms down a bit before we go and help Cai Lin persuade him?"
