Chapter 46

After the solemn ceremony, Xiao Yan's life could finally relax a bit. The intense cultivation schedule that used to fill his days was now mostly free.

The spirit liquid for foundation building that he had refined from the medicinal herbs he bought last time had been completely consumed. However, Xiao Yan did not plan to buy more. Now that he had reached the eighth level of the Qi of Combat, the effects of the spirit liquid were negligible.

After the effects of the spirit liquid weakened, Old Medicine did not use any other pills to help Xiao Yan improve his strength. Instead, he advised Xiao Yan to relax his mind during this period. The path of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation; overworking oneself can sometimes lead to a wrong path.

In these relaxed and pleasant days, Xiao Yan, who was used to a tight schedule, felt a bit restless. Helplessly, he spent his days wandering around with Xun'er and occasionally practicing combat techniques on the back mountain.

Xiao Yan had undoubtedly become the focus of the family again. No matter where he went, he was followed by respectful gazes, and the respectful greetings made him sigh at the stark contrast.

...

*Peng!*

In the lush forest at the back of the mountain, a figure as agile as a monkey darted swiftly, nimbly avoiding obstacles in the forest. With a dull thud, a powerful fist struck a tree trunk that was two to three centimeters thick, causing cracks to spread and the tree to snap in half.

Agilely avoiding the falling tree trunk, Xiao Yan leaped onto a green stone, waved his right palm at his clothes on the tree trunk, and a suction force pulled them into his hand.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and slowly put on his clothes.

After dressing, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed, and he narrowed his eyes, looking out of the forest, a low cold laugh escaping his lips.

Brushing off a few withered leaves from his body, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile as he lazily walked out of the forest.

Stepping out of the forest, the warm sunlight bathed his body, making his bones feel a bit numb. Narrowing his eyes to adjust to the sunlight, Xiao Yan tilted his head and looked at the figure of a woman on a large rock not far away.

The sunlight illuminated the slender figure of the woman, casting an alluring curve. Her long, shapely legs were particularly enticing.

Coldly watching Xiao Yu on the rock, Xiao Yan crossed his arms behind his head and slowly walked to the base of the rock. Looking up at the woman with a cold expression, his gaze lingered on her shapely legs for a moment. He sniffed and said indifferently, "Your legs are very beautiful, no need to show off..."

With just these few words, the cold Xiao Yu's face turned ashen.

Her full chest heaved slightly, and Xiao Yu gritted her teeth, saying coldly, "Do you know why I came to find you?"

"To beat me up?" Xiao Yan withdrew his hand to touch his nose, asking casually.

"That punch of yours severely injured my brother. He is still bedridden and can't move. Since you were so ruthless, as his sister, I can't let him suffer in vain." Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Yan with anger.

A mocking smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips, and he turned his head to laugh coldly, "So your point is, in that situation, I should have stood there and let him break my arm with his punch?"

Xiao Yu pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes still glaring stubbornly at Xiao Yan, the hatred in her eyes undiminished.

"After he breaks my arm, you might mourn for me for a few minutes, then you won't feel guilty anymore, and you won't care if I become disabled for the rest of my life. Haha, still the same old Xiao Yu, what can you do besides being irrational and favoring your brother? I hate women like you the most. Your brother is a person, but am I not a person?!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and by the end, his face was slightly flushed as he cursed.

"Damn, big boobs and no brains, that's what you are."

"Xiao Yan, you little punk, shut up!"

Xiao Yu's face turned from green to white, and she finally screamed in response to Xiao Yan's last curse.

Looking at the ashen-faced, fiery-eyed Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan smirked, feeling a great sense of relief.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu slowly calmed her anger, then leaped down from the rock, her shapely legs landing on the ground. She gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, I won't let you off easily today, you little punk." With that, she stepped forward, her graceful figure moving in a seductive curve, and her right leg, with a whistling sound, kicked viciously at Xiao Yan's crotch.

Seeing the woman actually attack directly, Xiao Yan cursed and quickly retreated a few steps, narrowly avoiding her leg.

"Hmph, no matter how talented you are, you're only at the eighth level of the Qi of Combat. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really become arrogant." Watching Xiao Yan dodge, Xiao Yu laughed coldly. Her long legs moved like a storm, each kick creating a strong wind that blew the withered leaves on the ground.

The strength of a three-star Fighter was indeed far beyond Xiao Ning's. In this fierce attack, Xiao Yan found it difficult to counterattack and could only dodge.

Dodging Xiao Yu's fierce leg attacks, Xiao Yan's face remained calm. His eyes narrowed, and his sharp gaze constantly searched for her weaknesses.

Blocking another of Xiao Yu's kicks with his arm, Xiao Yan felt a slight pain. It seemed that Xiao Yu was not a complete fool; she was not using her full strength against him. Although her attacks looked fierce, they could only cause him some superficial pain.

Seeing Xiao Yan retreating, Xiao Yu's lips curled into a smug smile. She tapped her foot and charged forward again.

As she attacked again, Xiao Yu's face suddenly changed. The Xiao Yan who had been dodging all along suddenly transformed from a docile sheep into a fierce wolf. His palms curled, and a powerful suction force pulled Xiao Yu, who was off balance, slightly forward.

Just as her body leaned forward, the suction force suddenly disappeared, replaced by a fierce repelling force...

With one pull and one push, Xiao Yu lost her balance, stumbling back a few steps and falling on her butt.

Caught off guard by Xiao Yan's sudden burst, Xiao Yu seemed extremely surprised and forgot to get up immediately. By the time she reacted, a figure pounced on her like a hungry tiger, pinning her down.

"Damn, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

With some bruises on his face and aches all over his body, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his hands desperately pressing on Xiao Yu's wrists, gritting his teeth and saying.
