Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

As for if an accident happened, it was already called an accident, so why should we prevent it? Is an accident that can be prevented still an accident? Cai Lin didn't want to waste her precious brain cells on such things.

"Then let's go together. This king will treat you."

Cai Lin waved his hand generously, Zi Yun and Zi Yan cheered in unison, and the two foodies, one big and one small, followed Cai Lin to the other side of the street without even saying hello to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan stood there in a daze, looking at the backs of the three beautiful monsters, two large and one small, as they walked away, feeling a little dazed.

Wait, has it been decided that Sister Ziyun will go to Zhongzhou with us?

(Xiao Yan, your brain. Alas~)

The Little Medical Fairy sighed deeply in Xiao Yan's heart and was too lazy to say anything more. Her reason was the same as Cai Lin's.

As long as there are no accidents, there will be no problem, no need to say more.

If an accident happens, no one can stop it and it’s useless to say anything.

Xiao Yan was very surprised by the Little Medical Fairy's sigh. He scratched his hair and then threw it aside for the time being. He had more important things to do.

"Cousin Xiao Yan! Go shopping with me~"

Xiao Mei opened her arms and embraced Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan dodged and waved his hand apologetically.

"Sorry, I have something to do right now. Maybe next time."

After saying that, Xiao Yan turned around and walked towards the Black Seal City Auction House. Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Yan's receding back and muttered a little dissatisfiedly.

Yao Ye looked at Xiao Yan's back, thinking about what Yao Yue said before she left.

【Use your brain, or you will regret it later. 】

Yao Ye's eyes flashed slightly, and after a long time he sighed lightly. Then he stretched his body and put his thoughts aside. He turned and walked towards the Evil Prison headquarters, greeting Xiao Mei.

"Xiao Mei, let's go back. We still have a lot of things to do today~"

"it is good"

Xiao Mei followed Yao Ye weakly, swaying slowly.

As for Xiao Ning? He just slipped away after sending the Xiao family away. As for where he went, you can guess with your toes.

This idiot will rot in the Yihong Courtyard for the rest of his life.

On the other side, Xiao Yan came to the auction house. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Yuan Yile walking towards him happily.

“Captain Xiao Yan!” Yuan Yi’s face was filled with excitement as she tightly grasped Xiao Yan’s hand. “When I heard the report from my subordinates yesterday, I thought I was dreaming! With you here, I finally don’t have to worry about the future of the Black Horn Region!”

When the news of Xiao Yan's death spread, the one who was most shocked among the original staff of Black Horn Region was probably Yuan Yi himself. He had been looking forward to seeing someone like Xiao Yan for many years, and was able to transform Black Horn Region into its current state.

However, after the unification, during the development of the Black Horn Region, the deputy leader Xiao Yixian's life and death was unknown, and the third in command Xiao Yu was captured by the Soul Palace. After much difficulty, Yao Ye was found to help manage the region. Then news of the leader Xiao Yan's death came, which made Yuan Yi despair about the future for a time.

He was really scared. He was afraid that after Xiao Yan's death, the Black Horn Region would return to its previous state. Although Yao Ye did a good job, he was still an outsider in their eyes. If an emergency came, he would not be able to control the situation at all.

During this year, with the help of the Mitre Family, the Black Horn Region developed better and better as he and Xiao Yan had planned. However, the better it developed, the more anxious Yuan Yi felt, fearing that all his efforts would be wasted.

But now, after seeing Xiao Yan again and confirming with his own eyes that Xiao Yan was still alive, Yuan Yi finally felt relieved.

As long as Xiao Yan is here, as long as Xiao Yan is still alive, the Black Horn Region will never change back. This shows Yuan Yi's absolute trust in Xiao Yan.

"Master Yuan Yi, you are too kind. From what I have seen over the past two days, I think the Black Horn Region has developed quite well even without me."

Xiao Yan smiled and responded frankly.

Compared to the fact that the Black Horn Domain had developed into what it is today with his help, Xiao Yan hoped that the Black Horn Domain could develop into what it is today even without him. He did not want to go back to the way it was before once he left the Black Horn Domain.

"Alas~ I certainly understand what Chief Xiao Yan means. People do have ideals, but they must also see the reality clearly. Please follow me."

Yuan Yi shook her head slightly, and took Xiao Yan to her office, talking as she walked.

"The Black Horn Region has not been unified for a long time. Although everyone agrees with your ideas, Xiao Yan, the habits that have been engraved in their bones for a long time are still difficult to change. You have to deny that many people abide by the rules of the Evil Prison because of your existence. A large part of the reason why there has been no chaos in this year is that your residual influence has not dissipated yet."

"If everyone can abide by the rules, then there will be no problem. But as long as there are a lot of people, there will definitely be people with bad intentions. Once these people start to break the rules and harm others, then others will gradually break the rules in order to protect themselves."

"The end result is that the Black Horn Region, which has changed with great difficulty, will once again return to its former state."

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, but did not refute.

Because Yuan Yi is right.

For some things, we really can't just look at ideals, we also have to respect objective reality.

Everyone in this world is an independent existence, and it is impossible for Xiao Yan to make everyone act according to his wishes.

"Well~ Let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, it's God's mercy that you're still alive." Yuan Yi came to the office door, pushed it open and invited Xiao Yan in. While pouring him some tea, he smiled sincerely and said, "I guess even God can't bear to see you, a person who could change the continent, die."

"If there really is such a thing as God, I really hope he can make this world a better place." Xiao Yan picked up the teacup, smiled faintly, and stopped chatting. He went straight to the point, "Master Yuan Yi, the herbs I needed yesterday..."

"Don't worry, everything has been prepared for you."

Yuan Yi immediately responded that if it was anything Xiao Yan needed, he would not delay even if the auction house was closed.

Then Yuan Yi clapped her hands, and the staff member that Xiao Yan had met yesterday came in carrying a sandalwood plate covered with a red cloth, on which was a dark red storage ring.

"Captain Xiao Yan, the herbs you need are all in this ring."

"Thank you, please."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and took the ring from the plate. The staff member glanced at Xiao Yan with peach blossom eyes, turned around and left the office.

Yuan Yi noticed the staff member's series of expressions, and said to Xiao Yan with a smile, with his hands behind his back.

"Captain Xiao Yan, you are very attractive in the eyes of these young girls~"

"Really? I don't feel that much. I don't think I'm popular at all."

Xiao Yan said modestly as he checked the herbs in the ring, and Yuan Yi waved his hand lightly.

"Hey~ You are too modest. Who in the entire Black Horn Region doesn't know your name? The young and promising leader Xiao Yan has become the dream lover of many young girls in the Black Horn Region."

"Am I so popular now?"

Xiao Yan scratched his face awkwardly, and Yuan Yi nodded in affirmation.

"Of course not! If you don't believe me, Chief Xiao Yan can go to the auction house and announce your name right now. I guarantee that all the girls will surround you and make you sweat profusely."

"Forget it then." Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, stood up and said goodbye to Yuan Yi, "Master Yuan Yi, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. As for the expenses."

"Hey hey hey! I've made it clear in advance that I absolutely don't want it this time!" Yuan Yi quickly interrupted Xiao Yan and said solemnly: "If it weren't for your help in attracting the Miter Family to settle in, how could the Black Horn Region have developed to this point in just one year? It's just a small amount of money for medicinal materials. Leader Xiao Yan, please don't be polite anymore."

Seeing Yuan Yi's determined expression, Xiao Yan paused, then chuckled.

"Okay, just this once." After saying that, Xiao Yan put away the storage ring and turned around to wave, "Chief Yuan Yi, see you later."

"Hey~ Walk slowly~"

Yuan Yi waved goodbye with a big smile on his face, and Xiao Yan hurried towards the Evil Prison headquarters, eager to help the two sleeping seniors wake up.

Chapter 534 Yao Chen is very satisfied

"Yaoye, please tell everyone else not to disturb me these two days."

Xiao Yan returned to the Evil Prison headquarters and said these words to Yao Ye. Without waiting for Yao Ye to ask, he locked himself in the room and took out the herbs for restoring soul power that he got from the auction house.

Looking at the various medicinal herbs placed on the table, Xiao Yan was troubled.

How to fix this?

Xiao Yan's expression showed distress. He knew how to make medicine, and Yao Chen also left a lot of prescriptions for restoring the soul, but this...

Xiao Yan took out the rings containing Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo and placed them on the table. He stared at the two rings with his brows furrowed even tighter.

In this case, even if I refine the elixir, Senior Yao and the others won't be able to eat it, right? They are still asleep, how can they eat it?

"No matter what, these herbs can restore the soul after all, let's refine them first."

There was solemnity in Xiao Yan's eyes. He raised his hand slightly, and a cluster of flames shining with three colors rose slowly in his hand.

This is the new strange fire that Xiao Yan created through the Burning Decree, which was successfully fused with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Ocean Heart Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame, the Glazed Sky Heart Flame.

Xiao Yan took out the Xuanyun Ding, threw the herbs into it one by one, and used his soul to control the strange fire to refine them one by one, with an extremely serious look on his face.

Xiao Yan was so focused on refining the medicinal herbs that he seemed to have forgotten the time. His thoughts were all focused on the medicine cauldron. He carefully refined each herb and did not dare to slack off for the slightest.

Before he knew it, it was already midnight. Xiao Yan finally extracted the last medicinal herb. He raised his hand and wiped away the dense beads of sweat on his forehead, then looked up at the several clusters of medicinal herb essence solutions floating in the air controlled by his soul power.

“So the extraction has been done, but what should we do with it?”

Xiao Yan had no intention of taking a breath. He gently pinched his chin and thought, and suddenly Yao Chen's face appeared in his mind.

If Yao Chen were still awake now, he would definitely be able to teach him what to do.

After a while, Xiao Yan shook his head lightly.

"Don't think about it anymore. I can't always rely on Senior Yao. Let's try it slowly."

Then another whole night passed, Xiao Yan consumed the essence of the medicinal herbs bit by bit, and used various methods to try to make the sleeping Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo absorb it.

Three days have passed since Xiao Yan locked himself in the room, and Xiao Yan has never come out from beginning to end, and there is not even a sound in the room.

Cai Lin and a few others wanted to go in and see what was going on, but they were stopped by Yao Ye, who tried to comfort them.

Before Xiao Yan went in, he specifically instructed that no one was allowed to disturb him, as it would be bad if someone suddenly broke in and ruined his plans.

Thanks to Yao Ye's persuasion, Cai Lin and others suppressed their impatience and waited quietly for Xiao Yan to come out on his own.

Inside the room, after three sleepless days and with a huge consumption of his soul power, Xiao Yan was already exhausted and lying on the bed, snoring with a peaceful expression.

After two days of exploration, Xiao Yan finally discovered by chance yesterday that the essence of the medicinal materials could be drawn into the sleeping souls of Yao Chen and Yao Tian Huo along with his soul. They could also passively absorb the medicinal power, and their souls were obviously recovering, which made Xiao Yan overjoyed.

However, this method of using souls to pull the opponent's souls consumes too much soul power, and the mental power cannot be distracted in the slightest, otherwise it is very likely to hurt Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo's already weak souls. Therefore, Xiao Yan really forced himself to tense his nerves and did not dare to be careless at all.

It was not until this morning that Xiao Yan introduced all the essences of the medicinal herbs into the souls of Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo. After sensing that their soul power was recovering rapidly, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell heavily on the bed.

Xiao Yan slept until midnight, and his over-consumed soul power was restored by more than half. He opened his eyes dimly, and the first thing he saw was the slightly unreal and stunning face that Yao Chen had pasted to his face.

Xiao Yan had long been accustomed to Yao Chen's frequent teasing of him face to face, so he was not surprised at all and only smiled weakly.

"Senior Yao, you are finally awake."

"Ah~Xiao Yanzi, thank you for your hard work."

Yao Chen smiled slightly, and then floated to the side. Xiao Yan supported himself on the bed and slowly sat up. He turned around and saw Yao Tianhuo sitting on the chair, grinning and raising his hand to greet him.

"Hey~ Xiao Yan, you've worked hard~ It looks like you've done a lot for us."

"If it weren't for your help and Senior Yao's help, Cai Lin and I might have been buried in the underground world. It is my duty to repay you."

Xiao Yan responded with a chuckle, and Yao Tianhuo's expression became even happier.

"Haha~ I like the temper of this kid Xiao Yan." Yao Tianhuo said, turning his head to look at Yao Chen, and said bluntly: "This kid is so upright, is he really your disciple? It feels like you two are completely different."

What Yao Tianhuo said was just like saying directly that Yao Chen was a bad person.

However, after spending time together before, Yao Chen also knew that Yao Tianhuo was a person who spoke her mind, not to mention that what she said was not wrong.

Compared to Xiao Yan, anyone would appear dishonest, let alone someone like me.

"Xiao Yanzi, how are you doing now?"

Yao Chen ignored the Yaotian Fire and looked at Xiao Yan and asked. Xiao Yan raised one hand and the Glazed Sky Heart Flame emerged from his palm.

"Please rest assured, Senior Yao, the Fallen Heart Flame has been successfully absorbed by my disciple, and the level of the Burning Art has reached the middle level of the Earth Rank, and my strength has even been raised to the level of the Nine-Star Douhuang."

Yao Chen heard this and nodded with satisfaction.

And she did not forget that Xiao Yan also had another martial arts technique, the Black Prison Dark Soul Lock. According to the effectiveness of that technique, Xiao Yan is now practicing two local intermediate martial arts techniques at the same time. His combat power is several times more than that of other people at the same level. In addition, Xiao Yan has an extraordinary physique. Now Xiao Yan may be able to defeat even a Dou Zun if he tries his best.

Of course, this was just the highest expectation in his heart. Yao Chen, who used to be a Medicine Master, knew very well that the most troublesome thing about a Dou Zun was the ability to control space. As long as he had this ability, it would not be easy for Xiao Yan, a Dou Huang, to cross levels and fight against a Dou Zun.

"Hey~ Is this what the fusion of three kinds of strange fire looks like? Pretty impressive~"

When Yao Tianhuo saw the Glazed Sky Heart Flame burning in Xiao Yan's hand, she couldn't help but praise him. She had been playing with fire for so many years, and the only person she had seen who could fuse different kinds of fire was the patriarch of the Yan Clan, but even that person had only fused two different kinds of fire.

At this moment, Xiao Yan thought of Cai Lin, his eyes a little embarrassed, he put away the Liuli Tianxin Flame, and looked up at Yao Chen.

"Um, Senior Yao, there is something I haven't told you yet."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"That's it. Cai Lin is pregnant with my child."

"."

Looking at Xiao Yan who stated the conclusion directly with an embarrassed look on his face, Yao Chen's eyes suddenly froze, and after being stunned for a long while, he asked quietly.

"It should have nothing to do with us, right?"
