Chapter 18

Yan Shifei's beautiful eyes blinked, and she glanced sideways at the young man beside her, feeling a deep sigh in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed, and the young man who was once just a boy had gradually grown up.

However, after a brief sigh, Yan Shifei's eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly. The young man seemed to be staring at her with a fiery gaze, and that fiery look made her realize that this young man might really not be a boy anymore.

Yan Shifei's eyes sparkled, charming and captivating, like a fairy.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she gazed at the young man, asking, "Sister, am I beautiful?"

"Beautiful," Xiao Yun replied without hesitation.

"Then do you want to see?" Yan Shifei smiled, her breath like orchids, and her soft voice made one's bones and soul feel weak.

"I want to see," Xiao Yun, hearing her voice, felt light-headed and replied absentmindedly.

"You little rascal, you're not old, but you have a wicked mind," Yan Shifei first smiled proudly, then her eyes twinkled with coquettishness, and she lightly scolded him. The young girl's every frown and smile was soul-stirring, capturing one's heart.

Hearing her light scolding, a flash of insight crossed Xiao Yun's mind, and he realized something was wrong, feeling embarrassed.

I seem to have been enchanted by Sister Shifei!

This wasn't a seduction technique, but this girl was naturally beautiful and extraordinary, and her every frown and smile was more terrifying than any seduction technique.

"Indeed, you're still a boy, blushing after just one sentence," seeing Xiao Yun's appearance, Yan Shifei clicked her tongue and smiled, feeling somewhat proud. Then, her eyes blinked, and she continued to tease the young man, "Do you still want to see?"

"If Sister Shifei is willing, I wouldn't mind seeing the beauty's charm," hearing this, Xiao Yun's face turned red, but he quickly regained his composure, spreading his palms and grinning, "If I were to lose so easily, that wouldn't be good."

He didn't want this young girl to think he was still a little boy.

Yan Shifei blinked, glanced at the young man whose face was starting to thicken, and realized he had truly grown up. She then smiled and asked, "Little Brother Xiaoyun, what brings you to see Sister this time?"

"Isn't it just to see Sister?"

When it came to the main topic, Xiao Yun retracted his playful smile and said seriously, "I want to go to the Purple Cloud Mountains this time."

"The Purple Cloud Mountains?" Yan Shifei's eyebrows furrowed, "Is it because of Fang Hao?"

Xiao Yun nodded, "The energy in the depths of the Purple Cloud Mountains is rich, and I can break through and enter the Xiantian realm."

"But there are many beasts and many adventure teams there. It would be very dangerous for you to go alone!" Yan Shifei looked worried. She had once entered the Purple Cloud Mountains with a few Xiantian realm experts.

Even so, she returned injured.

"It's fine," Xiao Yun spread his palms, "I'll be careful."

"Is there anything Sister can help you with?" Yan Shifei asked.

"Give me the map of the route you took back then," Xiao Yun spread his palms, then smiled, "And tell me where the purple wisteria is. After two years, its spirit should be even stronger."

"Purple wisteria?" Hearing this, Yan Shifei's heart stirred, feeling strangely, "You want to find the spirit for me?"

"Since Sister wants the spirit of the purple wisteria, I'll naturally pay attention when I go there," Xiao Yun shrugged and smiled.

The young man's words were casual, but Yan Shifei felt only gratitude in her heart.

It turned out that the little guy's purpose for coming here wasn't for the map, but to find out the whereabouts of the purple wisteria!

"That place is very dangerous, with poisonous mists and venomous insects everywhere. Even True Essence realm experts dare not venture in rashly. You shouldn't go," Yan Shifei felt grateful and had a hint of hope. If this young man really brought her the spirit, it would be a memorable event!

It would be like a fairy tale where a prince in white comes with flowers.

It would certainly be a story that would make people envious, but reality told her this wasn't a wise move.

"Don't worry, I know my limits and won't risk my life," Xiao Yun smiled, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the young girl, "If I die, Sister Shifei would be sad every day. How could I bear to see you unhappy?"

"Flatterer," Yan Shifei rolled her eyes at the young man, but her heart was filled with joy. She then asked, "Are you really going?"

"Yes," Xiao Yun nodded, his face serious, "You know, Fang Hao came to my Xiao family a few days ago and caused trouble. If I don't reach the Xiantian realm, it will be hard to calm this storm."

"Do you have confidence in reaching the Xiantian realm?" Yan Shifei asked, worried.

"I have confidence," Xiao Yun's eyes showed confidence. Now that his martial soul no longer absorbed the energy of the Dan Tian and he had practiced the Swallow Heaven and Destroy God Technique, with enough energy, he believed he could reach the Xiantian realm in the shortest time.

Seeing the young man's determination, Yan Shifei didn't say more and immediately took out a detailed map of the depths of the Purple Cloud Mountains.

On the map, Yan Shifei specifically marked many dangerous areas.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone. I'll cleanse your poison one more time today," Xiao Yun put away the map and said.

Hearing this, a blush appeared on Yan Shifei's beautiful face, and she nodded.

Thus, Xiao Yun began to cleanse Yan Shifei's poison.

Although much of the poison had been removed, there was still a stubborn poison in her body that could erupt at any time.

Now, Xiao Yun was doing his best to remove the source of the poison.

However, this process was clearly more difficult than before. The poison had almost penetrated her bones, making it hard to remove.

After an hour, Xiao Yun finally finished.

"Be careful when you go to the Purple Cloud Mountains," Yan Shifei walked to the door to see the young man off.

"With a beauty like you worrying about me, how could I let anything happen to myself?" Xiao Yun smiled.

"Who's worrying about you?" Yan Shifei rolled her eyes at the young man.

After a brief chat, Xiao Yun bid farewell and pushed the door open. Just as he opened the door, he found a young girl standing by the door, her lively eyes twinkling, as if she had been eavesdropping.

"Sister Shiyi?" Xiao Yun was surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing, I just happened to come here," Yan Shiyi's eyes darted, looking like a thief, but she was secretly glancing at the young man, her lips pursed, feeling somewhat sulky, "So, this guy really likes Sister."

"Nothing, I'll go back first," Xiao Yun glanced at Yan Shiyi's strange eyes and left.

"Hmph!" Seeing Xiao Yun ignore her, Yan Shiyi stomped her feet, her teeth clenched, looking very unhappy, but she eventually followed him, "Brother Xiaoyun, wait for me."

"What's up?" Xiao Yun stopped and asked.

"Brother Xiaoyun, are you going to the Purple Cloud Mountains?" Yan Shiyi blinked her lively eyes and looked up at the young man.

"Yes," Xiao Yun nodded, his brows furrowing slightly.

It seemed this girl had really been eavesdropping on his conversation with Sister Shifei.

"Will she tell Lady Yan?" Xiao Yun was worried.

If so, he might not be able to see this young girl again.

But he quickly shook his head and smiled.

He was about to go to the Purple Cloud Mountains, and when he returned, he would definitely reach the Xiantian realm.

At that time, would he still fear Lady Yan opposing his relationship with her daughter?

"I want to go too," as Xiao Yun was thinking, Yan Shiyi looked at him with hope.

"You want to go too?" Xiao Yun frowned and carefully examined the serious young girl.

"Yes," Yan Shiyi nodded.

Xiao Yun frowned and said, "No, you can't go."

"Why?" Yan Shiyi pouted, frowning, feeling like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, making her very depressed.

This made Xiao Yun feel somewhat surprised. What was wrong with this girl?

"Do you not want to take me because you like Sister?" Yan Shiyi seemed to gather her courage and asked.

"You little girl, what are you thinking at your age?" Xiao Yun shook his head.

How could he let this young girl accompany him to such a dangerous place?

"I'm not little," Yan Shiyi wrinkled her nose, clearly dissatisfied with Xiao Yun's words.

"You're little everywhere," as he spoke, Xiao Yun couldn't help but glance at the young girl's slightly underdeveloped chest.

"Hmph, stinky Xiaoyun, pervert!" Hearing this, Yan Shiyi stomped on Xiao Yun's foot and angrily shouted, "I'm not little, I'm only fifteen, hmpf, in two years, I'll be bigger than Sister."

"Hehe, we'll see when you grow up," Xiao Yun laughed and ran out of the courtyard.

"Stinky Xiaoyun, bad Xiaoyun, tasteless guy!" Seeing Xiao Yun run away, Yan Shiyi felt somewhat indignant and looked at her chest, feeling somewhat aggrieved, "I'm not little, I'm already quite big."

Yan Shiyi was only fifteen, and her chest was already beginning to develop, with a unique youthful charm.

However, it was clear that Xiao Yun still saw her as a little girl.

"Hehe, our Shiyi is really quite big," at this moment, Yan Shifei smiled and walked over.

"Sister, are you teasing me too?" Yan Shiyi's eyes darted, her delicate face showing a hint of shyness, but seeing her sister's well-developed chest, her frustration was reduced by half. She seemed to be much smaller than her sister.

"Sister wouldn't tease you," Yan Shifei walked over, gently stroking her sister's hair, with a hint of indulgence.

"Sister, do men all like women with big chests?" Yan Shiyi blinked and asked.

"Naughty girl," Yan Shifei laughed, "When you like someone, is it because they are handsome?"

"Of course not," Yan Shiyi shook her head, remembering how the young man had treated her when she was sick and no one could cure her. Since then, his image had been in her heart, unable to be erased.

"That's right, the heart is the most important," Yan Shifei smiled, "You're still young, you'll understand when you grow up."

"The heart is the most important?" Yan Shiyi nodded thoughtfully.

But hearing her sister's words, Yan Shiyi quickly pouted, emphasizing, "Sister, I'm already fifteen, I'm not little anymore. In the Fengyue Kingdom, many girls get married at this age."

"Alright, alright, you're not little, okay?" Yan Shifei's eyebrows twitched, and she smiled, "Our Shiyi has already grown up."

"I've always been grown up," Yan Shiyi pouted, then glanced at her sister, clenching her small fists, and muttered, "I'll grow bigger than you."

Looking at the young girl's determined expression, it seemed she was determined to 'grow up.'
