Compared to Xiao Yan, whose attention was drawn to Xun Er, Yao Chen appeared much more serious.
He noticed the way Xun Er appeared: she appeared suddenly! It wasn't some movement technique, nor was it tearing space; she just appeared here out of thin air, without any warning!
This was "Spatial Displacement," a technique only a Six-Star Dou Saint could use. Even Yao Chen, in his lifetime, had never come into contact with this level of power, and thus it touched upon his blind spot of knowledge, leaving him utterly shocked.
He immediately spoke up to remind Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yanzi, the way your little girlfriend appeared is very unusual; even I've never heard of it."
Xiao Yan sighed in his heart and replied, "Teacher, I know."
He seemed to have a premonition of something and stopped cultivating. For the rest of the time, he stayed with Xun Er.
He chatted with her, talking about childhood memories, telling her stories, describing the World he had once imagined, and all sorts of unrealistic fantasies about this Dou Qi Continent.
Some incredible ideas that couldn't appear in anyone else's mind made Xun Er giggle.
Xiao Yan took Xun Er to catch fish in the river, to search for treasures in the mountains, to snatch medicinal herbs guarded by magical beasts, or to be chased through the entire forest by powerful magical beasts.
When they were tired of playing, they would climb to the mountaintop, lie on the grass by the cliff, sit down together, hand in hand, watching the sunrise and sunset, and observing the clouds roll and unroll.
That evening, they held hands, leaning against a rock, gazing into the distance together.
The sun had already sunk halfway, and the western sky was dyed red. The clouds near the sun shimmered with golden light, and further out, there was a fiery red, as if burning.
The colors of the flames diminished as they moved away from the sun, becoming increasingly cooler: fiery red, light red, blue with red, and finally deep blue, a blue that approached black like deep seawater.
Xun Er's gaze was calm and clear, like the deep blue sky. She opened her mouth, finally breaking the unspoken understanding between them for the past three days:
"Brother Xiao Yan, you must have guessed it already. I have to go."
"Oh…" Xiao Yan said softly.
In his pupils, the remaining half of the sun and the clouds around it were reflected, as if flames were burning.
"My clansmen are here to pick me up. I must leave… I've already delayed once before, but I can't delay it again this time," Xun Er's voice, tinged with reluctance, rang out.
Xiao Yan clenched his fists: "I'm useless, I'm too weak."
Xun Er smiled: "Brother Xiao Yan has worked very hard. I am very content to have spent these days with Xun Er."
"Xun Er, wait for me… I will come find you, find you in your family… I will become stronger, strong enough that no one can separate us!" Xiao Yan said with a determined tone.
Xun Er's eyes narrowed like crescent moons, and she teased, "When Xiao Meng left, did Brother Xiao Yan say the same thing to her?"
"Uh…" A trace of awkwardness flashed across Xiao Yan's face. He scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly, "She left suddenly; she didn't even say goodbye to me."
As he said this, Xiao Yan recalled the soft touch he vaguely felt before parting with Xiao Meng, and the enchanting moans and gasps that seemed to make one sink…
"Oh, is that so… Did she do anything strange with you before she left?" Xun Er suddenly leaned close to Xiao Yan.
"Uh… No… No," Xiao Yan said, his gaze drifting, feeling very guilty.
"Really no?"
"Really no," Xiao Yan said nervously, not daring to meet Xun Er's gaze.
That… shouldn't count as anything strange, right… Yes, it just doesn't!
Xiao Yan hypnotized himself in his heart, and his nervousness eased, becoming more and more self-righteous… How could that be considered strange?
He suddenly felt something soft, like a dragonfly touching the water, imprinted on his lips.
Xiao Yan was stunned. Xun Er's face was flushed, looking shy and lovely.
Xun Er had bravely made that move, and now her heart was pounding like a startled deer, her heartbeat rapidly accelerating.
Xiao Yan's heartbeat also quickened considerably. In the quiet stillness, they seemed to hear each other's breathing, each other's heartbeats.
He couldn't help but reach out and embrace Xun Er, holding her in his arms.
Xun Er hesitated for a moment, then her tense body relaxed, and her hands slowly rested on Xiao Yan's back.
They rested their chins on each other's shoulders, bodies pressed against bodies, as if wanting to melt into each other.
"Brother Xiao Yan, Xun Er truly doesn't want to leave you."
"I don't want to leave Xun Er either…"
After a long embrace, they slowly separated, looking into each other's eyes and seeing the deep affection within them.
Their lips gradually drew closer…
Xun Er suddenly realized she was hugging something furry, and her mouth also touched a layer of short fur.
Her heart startled, and she quickly retreated, finding herself no longer on the original cliff but in Xiao Meng's room.
What she had just been hugging and kissing was a life-sized Xiao Yan doll made by Xiao Meng.
She immediately understood what had happened, her face turning green then purple, and with a mix of shyness and anger, she heavily punched the Xiao Yan doll: "Damn it!"
What Xiao Yan was holding also turned into something furry. He reacted in time, not kissing it, and pulled back, discovering it was a curly-haired baboon… a female one.
He stared blankly at the confused curly-haired baboon not far in front of him, calling out with a hint of disbelief:
"Xun… Xun Er?"
The curly-haired baboon scratched her butt with her hand and gave Xiao Yan a bewildered look.
Xiao Yan's expression was equally bewildered, even with a barely perceptible hint of fright… He stumbled back a few steps, his expression rigid.
His eyes were fixed on the curly-haired baboon, and one chaotic thought after another flashed through his mind…
Xiao Yan only felt as if his brain had turned to mush, making it difficult to think.
What's going on? Where's my Xun Er?
What the hell is this curly-haired baboon?
Is Xun Er also a magical beast, and her true form is a curly-haired baboon? Xiao Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the somewhat absurd speculation in his heart.
He called out to Yao Chen: "Teacher, Teacher, this is bad! Xun Er turned into a baboon… No, Xun Er is gone, and there's a baboon instead. What's going on?"
After Xun Er and Xiao Yan's interaction grew increasingly intimate, Yao Chen very consciously shut off his perception of the outside World, so when he suddenly heard Xiao Yan's call, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
"What happened? Calm down and tell me properly."
Xiao Yan recounted what had just happened. As he was telling Yao Chen, the female baboon opposite him smiled at him, startling him so much that he leaped far back with a whoosh.
