"Why am I the beast?"
Xiao Yan rubbed his head, completely clueless.
Daring to call this young master a beast… careful or I'll let you see what a real beast looks like!
"Why a beast?"
Xiao Yixian looked at the nervous and shy Qinglin in front of them with righteous indignation. "I can understand you being lustful. I can even accept that strong men often have three wives and four concubines.
But you— you actually dared lay your hands on such a small girl. Are you even human?"
As she spoke, her clear eyes carried a strange emotion.
"Damn." Xiao Yan's face darkened.
"What kind of man do you take me for?" He slapped Xiao Yixian's butt, this time without holding back. She yelped from the pain.
"This child's name is Qinglin. She's had no parents since young. I found her in the desert, and when I found her she was being bullied. I felt sorry for her, so I brought her back."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian finally snapped out of her misunderstanding. Her small hands hid nervously behind her back, and she looked at Xiao Yan pitifully.
"S-sorry… I didn't mean it."
"Sorry?"
"You think 'sorry' settles it?" Xiao Yan shot her an annoyed look.
"My pure reputation as a young master was almost ruined by you, and you just want to gloss over it like that?"
"T-then… what do you want me to do?" Xiao Yixian pouted, her rosy lips curving as she acted spoiled before him.
Gotta admit— when a pure, delicate girl acts spoiled in front of you, very few men can resist it.
"I'll deal with you tonight." Xiao Yan glared fiercely at her, making Xiao Yixian's pretty face instantly flush again.
"Come, Qinglin, let me introduce you. This is my wife. You can call her Xiao Yixian-jiejie."
"X-Xiao Yixian-jiejie…" Qinglin looked timidly at Xiao Yixian, her big eyes filled with curiosity and wariness.
She only relaxed a little after seeing Xiao Yixian's face didn't carry that jealousy and disgust that other women had shown her before.
Seeing her shy appearance, Xiao Yixian was stunned for a moment. Then her expression softened, and she gently reached out to pat Qinglin's head.
"Don't be afraid. From now on, follow me. Jiejie is also an orphan now— I will treat you well."
"You're an orphan too?" Xiao Yan froze, then turned to look at her.
Indeed, the original story hardly mentioned this girl's background. The girl he met at the beginning was always sunny and gentle, and he'd never imagined she had such a past.
"Yes."
Xiao Yixian nodded lightly, a faint gloom appearing in her beautiful eyes.
"My mother died when I was born. My father raised me alone… but he passed away when I was sixteen."
"…Sorry. I didn't expect your past to be this tragic."
For once, Xiao Yan felt a rare sense of sympathy rise in his heart.
"What's tragic about it?" Xiao Yixian shook her head. "My father was a physician of Wanyao Zhai and a trusted assistant of Yao-xiansheng. He was quite respected in Qingshan Town.
My childhood wasn't rich or anything, but it wasn't as pitiful as you imagine."
As she spoke, she showed a gentle smile again.
"Your father must've been a great man."
Xiao Yan suddenly said.
Xiao Yixian blinked, then nodded firmly.
Being able to raise his daughter alone was already not easy. But more importantly, he had given Xiao Yixian a warm childhood, filling her life with warmth and sunlight.
Only when raised in an environment filled with love can a girl from a single-parent family grow into someone gentle and bright.
Only that could create the Xiao Yixian admired by every mercenary in Qingshan Town.
If not for the E'Nan Poison Body, her life should have been happy— not materially, but with a deep inner love for life.
That kind of vitality is more precious than beauty or wealth.
Unfortunately, in the other timeline, because of the E'Nan Poison Body, Xiao Yixian was destined to live a lonely life. Even after curing the poison body later, her sunshine would never be as bright.
Because suffering leaves a mark on one's soul. Even when healed, a scar remains— faint, but permanent.
But now Xiao Yan had met Xiao Yixian early, and he already possessed an 异火 in advance. He would end this tragedy early and keep sunlight in this girl's life forever.
"From now on, let Qinglin follow you." Xiao Yan said with a soft smile.
"Y-Young master… you don't want me anymore?"
Hearing his words, Qinglin's face instantly changed as she looked at him pitifully.
Having just escaped misery, she was lost in this world. To her, Xiao Yan was like a piece of driftwood in a stormy sea— something to cling to.
"Who said that?" Xiao Yan rubbed her small head. "I'll just be going out a lot in the future and won't always be around to protect you."
"You… don't you like Xiao Yixian-jiejie?"
"I… I don't know." Qinglin shook her head. A girl without parents or cultivation was like a rootless duckweed in this world—
Drifting wherever fate pushed her, and one big wave could destroy her entirely.
"Qinglin, you're free now. You'll have your own life. Even though I ask you to call me young master, I'll always treat you as a younger sister.
Starting today, you need to learn to find your own way of living. Understand?"
Xiao Yan continued.
"Not… really." Qinglin blinked, looking utterly lost.
"Sigh. Poor kid." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.
Growing up in such an environment, she had accumulated deep-rooted inferiority and fear.
Recovering from that shadow would take time— lots of it.
Seeing Qinglin like this, even Xiao Yixian felt a wave of pity.
This girl was even more pitiful than she was.
"If you dare bully Qinglin in the future, I'll never forgive you." Xiao Yixian raised her small pale fist.
"Kekeke… you should think about how you'll beg for mercy tonight first." Xiao Yan smirked.
Just one sentence and Xiao Yixian broke instantly. Remembering the wild scene earlier, her delicate face turned red again.
Seeing her like this, and remembering her past, Xiao Yan suddenly pulled her gently into his arms.
"You remember the secret method I told you about for controlling the E'Nan Poison Body?"
"Of course. Didn't you say it needs three types of 异火?"
Xiao Yixian glanced at him— then her small mouth opened in shock.
"Don't tell me… you've already gathered all three?"
