Night.
In a certain courtyard in Yan City, a beautiful lady whose delicate body was wrapped in a red dress was currently standing beside a pond in the courtyard. Her two lotus root-like white jade arms were crossed in front of her chest. Her delicate body stood upright, completely revealing her alluring figure. Compared to her usual self, this lady at this moment could be considered a true stunner. Coupled with the current situation, one could not help but have wild and fanciful thoughts in one's heart.
At this very moment, the lady's beautiful eyes were listlessly staring at the pond in front of her. Her tender and alluring red lips were slightly pouted, while a somewhat complaining expression appeared on her pretty face.
Soon after, in the sky above this small courtyard, a pitch-black figure approached from afar in the dark night. Finally, it landed in the small courtyard.
This person was Xiao Yan, while the beautiful lady standing beside the pond in the small courtyard was undoubtedly Jin Yao.
"Cough cough …"
After descending, Xiao Yan's face under his black robe involuntarily turned slightly red as he raised his eyes to look at Jin Yao. An awkward expression involuntarily appeared on his old face. He could only cough softly twice to indicate his arrival.
"Weren't you having a good time chatting? Why did you come back?"
Even though she clearly knew that Xiao Yan was not far behind her, Jin Yao still pretended as if she had only just discovered him. She was silent for a long time before she finally spoke.
Upon hearing these words, the awkward expression on Xiao Yan's old face became even more pronounced. He awkwardly smiled and lowered his head. His gaze stared at a beautiful flower that was blooming under the moonlight on the ground. He paused for a moment before he spoke.
"Regarding today's matter … I am indeed sorry. Because of their relationship, I have caused you to worry. This is my fault. After which, I even forgot about you. This is also my fault."
Xiao Yan did not intend to find an excuse to explain. He had indeed forgotten about Jin Yao today. This matter was his fault and there was no need for him to find an excuse.
"This is already the second time today."
After a long while, Jin Yao, who did not hear Xiao Yan's explanation, slowly turned around. Her red lips parted slightly. Compared to before, the resentment on Jin Yao's pretty face had clearly lessened by quite a bit. Perhaps due to the latter's sincerity, Jin Yao had forgiven him in her heart.
Hearing Jin Yao's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help raising an eyebrow, feeling a little puzzled.
The reason Jin Yao said it was the second time was because Xiao Yan had disappeared from her sight without her consent. The first time was in this small courtyard. She thought Xiao Yan had left without saying goodbye. The second time was when Dong Chuan and the other man didn't see Xiao Yan. Jin Yao mistakenly thought that something had happened to Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan didn't appear tonight, then even if Dong Chuan and the other man tried to persuade her, Jin Yao would still do her best to fight them.
After staring blankly for a while, Xiao Yan seemed to have understood something. He lowered his head and remained silent. He didn't know what to say in his heart.
"Sorry, next time …"
"I don't want there to be a next time."
Before Xiao Yan could spit out the words from his mouth, Jin Yao lifted her pretty eyes. Her long and narrow eyes stared at Xiao Yan as she spoke in a decisive manner.
Xiao Yan was first taken aback, his face showing that he didn't know what to do. Then, he nodded heavily at Jin Yao and solemnly said.
"Definitely!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Jin Yao pursed her lips and smiled, as if she didn't care about what had happened earlier. And this was indeed the case.
Jin Yao believed in Xiao Yan. This had started from the moment Xiao Yan defeated Lu Cheng and she would never doubt him again. Since Xiao Yan had said these words, Jin Yao naturally believed that next time, or in the future, Xiao Yan would definitely not leave without saying goodbye.
"Is there any progress on the Fire Plume Flower?"
Relaxing her mood, Jin Yao gently exhaled. A smile quickly flitted across her beautiful face, her shapely eyebrows slightly knitted together as she looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yan first smiled and nodded, but quickly frowned and shook his head in uncertainty. This caused Jin Yao to be extremely puzzled. Could it be that they didn't find the Fire Plume Flower? If they couldn't even find a single Fire Plume Flower in the collections of the Heavenly Cloud Auction, then they probably couldn't find a second one in the entire Western Regions.
"Nothing?"
Jin Yao slowly asked, the expression on her beautiful face was exceptionally cautious. She knew that the Fire Plume Flower was very important to Xiao Yan. When this matter was mentioned, her face quickly regained its seriousness.
"There is indeed no Fire Plume Flower in the Heavenly Cloud Auction …"
Xiao Yan's tone was somewhat doubtful as he said. At the same time, Jin Yao, who was slowly walking forward, couldn't help but frown slightly. If that's the case, it was indeed hopeless to find the Fire Plume Flower?
"Fortunately, manager Fang Qian seems to have some information in this area. In the next few days, he will help me search. I believe that there should be some news soon."
Just as Jin Yao was helplessly knitting her eyebrows, Xiao Yan's despondent face suddenly surfaced with a smile. Following which, a tinge of surprise appeared in his eyes.
When these words left his mouth, a smile instantly surfaced on Jin Yao's beautiful face. Doesn't this mean that Xiao Yan will temporarily stay in Yan City for a period of time while waiting for news of the Fire Plume Flower?
When she thought of this, joy immediately surfaced in Jin Yao's heart. For some reason, a faint crimson flush surfaced on her fair and beautiful face. However, due to the cover of the moonlight, Xiao Yan before her did not notice.
"What do you plan to do next?"
Jin Yao blinked her pair of exquisite large eyes as she asked with a lovable smile. Xiao Yan's eyes swiveled as he pursed his lips and looked at Jin Yao in front of him. He softly smiled and said,
"I also don't know what to do. I have nowhere to go. Therefore, I wonder if it would be convenient for District Owner Jin to stay for a while?"
"Oh? Coincidentally, I have quite a number of empty rooms here. You can take your pick. "
The two of them seemed to be singing a double act. Although they were well aware of the situation, they purposely spoke respectfully. After a short while, the small courtyard could not help but emit the laughter of the two people, which gradually soared under the light of the silver moon.
.....
During the next couple of days, Xiao Yan avoided the trouble of searching for the Fire Plume Flower by himself. He continued to stay in Jin Yao's private villa. It was quiet and there was no one to disturb him. Xiao Yan was happy to do so. In his free time, other than carefully controlling the powerful Spiritual Strength that he had just obtained, he placed his mind on the Strength Elephant Skill.
Although Xiao Yan was currently able to generally display the strength of the Force Elephant Skill, he was not very familiar with the Force Elephant Skill from the few battle experiences he had. It was likely that he was still quite a distance away from being able to truly control it. After all, based on the current situation, Xiao Yan might have successfully practiced the Force Elephant Skill, but his control of his own strength was not as smooth as what was described in the scroll. Needless to say, he was unable to unleash a powerful strength like using four taels to defeat a thousand pieces of gold.
In the small courtyard, Xiao Yan had moved a huge rock from somewhere. At this moment, it was calmly placed in front of Xiao Yan.
The huge rock was heavy and huge, like a small mountain. Looking from afar, even from a distance outside the small courtyard, one could still vaguely see the huge size of the huge rock.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was standing steadily in front of the huge rock. Under Xiao Yan's feet was a mud pit that was not too muddy. Xiao Yan stood in the mud pit without any external help. His feet were steady, and his entire body was obviously sinking slightly until the mud pit could barely support the weight of Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan's arms were naturally hanging down. His eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was steady and orderly. He was trying his best to adjust his body's condition so that he could maintain a delicate balance with the mud pit under his feet.
This kind of balance was extremely fragile. If there was even the slightest movement, Xiao Yan's legs would quickly sink into the mud pit. At this moment, Xiao Yan was trying his best to control his body's focus in order to maintain this balance.
Xiao Yan's face did not reveal the slightest relaxed expression as he stood in this muddy pit where he could sink into it at any moment.
Although he was a Half-emperor expert, under the premise that he did not use any Dou Qi, his body could only be considered as stronger than an ordinary person. Standing in the mud pit, he was similarly helpless.
However, because of this, Xiao Yan intended to use this mud pit to improve his control of his body's strength.
Xiao Yan had always had high requirements for himself, and this time was no exception. In order to improve his control of his body's strength, Xiao Yan had to maintain a stable standing in the mud pit while using the Force Elephant Tactic to shatter the huge rock in front of him.
It was not difficult for Xiao Yan to shatter the huge rock. However, the key was that Xiao Yan's body had to remain standing in the mud pit while shattering the huge rock. This was a great challenge for Xiao Yan who did not use any Dou Qi.
"Phew …"
Xiao Yan breathed carefully. In order to maintain the stability of his body, he had to be very careful with his every movement. Even his breathing had to be exceptionally careful.
Xiao Yan's white palms slowly folded under his sleeves. Every movement of his seemed very delicate.
He gradually raised his arms. In the center of his palms, strength quietly gathered and became stronger little by little. Imperceptibly, Xiao Yan's entire body's focus had also changed.
Xiao Yan's body began to tilt to one side. Although the arc was not big, Xiao Yan could still clearly sense it.
Xiao Yan's heart slightly tensed up. Then, his heart quickly calmed down. In fact, this situation was not the first time in these few days. After dozens of failures, Xiao Yan had already learned some experience. The situation that he was in now was a sign that Xiao Yan was about to fall into the mud pit. However, Xiao Yan gradually became familiar with this situation. He also had a new countermeasure in his heart. He thought that this might work. Of course, this was already the umpteenth time that Xiao Yan had comforted himself like this.
Xiao Yan's other hand slowly clenched into a fist. Xiao Yan's slightly tilted body indeed stabilized. However, his entire body, which was standing in the mud pit, was clearly slightly sunk downwards. Xiao Yan took in a deep breath, as though doing so could reduce the pressure that his body was exerting on the mud pit.
He did not know if Xiao Yan's method was effective or if it was for some other reason, but Xiao Yan's sunken body no longer moved. He was immediately overjoyed. The two palms under his sleeves slowly lifted up from the left, slowly and heavily, as if he was carrying some heavy burden. Fortunately, this time, Xiao Yan did not fail. Even when Xiao Yan raised his hands to his chest and clenched them tightly, his body was still stable. This could not help but make Xiao Yan's heart beat faster. It seemed that he was not far from the final step of success. As long as he could successfully throw out a punch, after shattering the huge rock in front of him, his body could still stand steadily in the mud pit. This could be considered a success!
Of course, at the same time, Xiao Yan also understood in his heart that the final punch was the most difficult. However, right now, the arrow on the bow had to be released. Furthermore, seeing that he was only one step away from the final step, how could Xiao Yan relax so easily?
Xiao Yan held a breath in his chest. His entire body tensed up. The air was still inhaling through Xiao Yan's nose. Nervousness and excitement made Xiao Yan inhale even more frantically. For the final attack, he did not dare to relax, causing his entire chest to seem especially protruding.
Finally, Xiao Yan's tightly clenched fists trembled slightly. However, his entire body stood steadily. His feet were slightly sunken in the mud pit, but they did not completely sink. Until a certain moment, Xiao Yan made up his mind. His two fists were about to fiercely punch forward.
And it just so happened that at this moment …
"Xiao Yan, sister is back. You didn't run away, right? Hahahaha … "
A lovely laughter that was filled with temptation suddenly sounded in the small courtyard. Xiao Yan's body, which was about to move, suddenly sank. His two legs once again sank into the mud pit. Xiao Yan's eyes were tightly shut. His eyebrows instantly furrowed. The breath that was tightly held in his chest was also instantly exhaled. His entire body was like a deflated rubber ball as it instantly softened.
Xiao Yan did not expect that Jin Yao, who had not appeared for a few days, would not appear any sooner or later. Just as he was about to succeed, she suddenly appeared like a natural disaster …
"Hahahaha, because of the matter with Lu Cheng last time, there were many matters in the Thousand Medicine House that could not be resolved in time. It caused me a lot of trouble. Until today, it has finally been resolved!"
Jin Yao smiled in a relaxed manner as she walked to Xiao Yan's side. Seeing the latter's strange appearance, a curious expression involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.
"You are …"
Jin Yao's pretty face was filled with suspicion as she asked. Her tone was somewhat strange.
Xiao Yan's mouth was madly twitching in his heart. In the end, he could only helplessly sigh. Lightly shrugging his shoulders, he did not say anything as he walked out of the mud pit.
Jin Yao's pretty face was also filled with suspicion, indicating that she did not know what had happened. Soon after, a smile appeared on her pretty face. Just as she was about to tell Xiao Yan about what had happened in the Thousand Medicine House, an elderly figure appeared outside the small courtyard. Immediately after, he arrived in front of Xiao Yan and Jin Yao.
The person who had arrived was the steward of the Tianyun Auction House, Fang Qian.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, fortunately, I did not disappoint you. The Fire Plume Flower has been found!"
