The Tiger Eagle Beasts spread their wings, soaring at great speed toward the southern horizon.

On the broad back of the leading Tiger Eagle Beast, the tense atmosphere from before had already eased quite a bit.

Wei Yang was completely tangled up by this little girl Zi Yan, with no other option but to pull out two Tier 6 medicinal herbs. He casually refined them, burning away the impurities, and then made them into several dozen pills, even deliberately adding some sweet-tasting medicinal liquid as a flavoring. Only then did the little girl beam with a broad grin.

Clutching a small jade bottle with a face full of happiness, she hid off to one side, carefully pouring out one pill at a time into her mouth, chewing it with such satisfaction that her eyes narrowed into crescents.

At this moment, in Zi Yan’s heart, she had completely stamped Wei Yang with the label of good person.

Watching this scene, Xiao Yan not only let out a relieved sigh but also felt an inexplicable twinge of jealousy — a strange feeling like his own cute little sister had been coaxed away by an outsider.

Quickly shaking his head, he tossed away that weird thought.

He came to sit cross-legged beside Wei Yang and curiously asked, ”Brother Wei, how come you seem so different today? You’re not quite acting like your usual self.”

Xiao Yan understood well that Wei Yang, like himself, actually belonged to the same kind of person:

Calm and polite on the surface, but with a hidden pride deep in his heart.

A genius.

To truly step into the heart of such a person and be recognized was extremely difficult.

Unless you were the same type.

Especially with Wei Yang’s current achievements, it was basically impossible for him to take those far beneath him seriously — because he knew that once he surpassed them, they would never catch up to him again.

Wei Yang flipped his hand to take out a bottle of fine liquor, tipped back a mouthful, then casually handed it to Xiao Yan with a smile, ”Nothing really. I just have a kind of inexplicable feeling about her, feels like she’s pretty special. Plus, the journey is long, so I’m just a bit interested, that’s all.”

”Special, huh?” Xiao Yan nodded. ”She really is rather special.”

They only knew she was a magical beast, but no one knew what her true body actually was.

Even Su Qian, who had picked her up, couldn’t figure it out.

He only knew that within her seemingly small frame was hidden a terrifying brute strength.

With just a Dou Wang cultivation, she could rely on that terrifying monster strength to directly clash with a Dou Huang.

...

Afterward, Xiao Yan restrained his mind from wandering and shifted back to the real purpose of this trip.

”Brother Wei, if it was just dealing with Yun Shan alone, with our strength there’s nothing to fear — in fact, it’s more than enough. But the thing we must be vigilant about is the Hall of Souls!” Xiao Yan spoke solemnly.

The current Xiao Yan was even stronger than in the original timeline.

With the High-Level Earth Grade Nine Dragons Fire Control Technique, combined with his terrifying talent in alchemy and flame control, he had now basically mastered it.

Although because of his own cultivation realm he still couldn’t truly unleash the full High-Level Earth Grade Nine Dragons in unison, he could at least use the Mid-Level Earth Grade power of six dragons.

And there was also the God Seal Technique left behind by Gu Xun’er. One had to know that the complete version of the God Seal Technique could rival a Heaven Grade Dou Technique. Xiao Yan had now mastered two seals of it.

Plus the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, a terrifying killer move.

These were all part of Xiao Yan’s confidence and hidden trump cards.

Of course, he was still only peak Dou Wang, and relying on this alone to kill Yun Shan would still be a bit forced in his own estimation.

However, if he added Wei Yang and Medusa’s two great forces, then taking down Yun Shan would surely not be difficult.

The most critical problem, however, was the existence of the Hall of Souls as an unpredictable danger.

The Yun Lan Sect was clearly colluding with the Hall of Souls, so Xiao Yan felt uneasy in his heart and had to prepare for the worst.

If the Hall of Souls’ Protector showed up, then once Wei Yang was entangled by Yun Shan, Xiao Yan would have to deal with it alone.

Unfortunately, as for Medusa, Xiao Yan wasn’t confident he could persuade her to help him directly take on the Hall of Souls’ Protector.

After all, Medusa had only agreed to stay by Xiao Yan’s side for a year, and would only intervene to save his life at a critical moment, no more than that.

So, Xiao Yan had to look for Wei Yang to discuss a solution.

...

”The Hall of Souls, huh?” Wei Yang nodded, his expression turning grave.

”So,” he looked at Xiao Yan, ”You mean to swap opponents with me — you go deal with Yun Shan, and I’ll go deal with the Hall of Souls’ Protector?”

”Mm.” Xiao Yan nodded somewhat embarrassedly, then spoke sincerely:

”This time, going back... for me, for my Xiao Clan, it is extremely important!”

”If we fail, I might still have a chance to escape, but the remaining members of the Xiao Clan could be completely wiped out!”

”So I cannot lose this time. Even if I have to stake everything, I must completely sweep away the Yun Lan Sect!”

”These past three years, Yun Shan, that old man, couldn’t have been standing still. Plus, the Yun Lan Sect has stood in the Jia Ma Empire for so many years, its foundations are bound to be deep, and the Dou Techniques that old man knows definitely won’t be weak — at least Earth Grade should be there.”

”But three years ago, he was just a One-Star Dou Zong. Even if he improved these years, it shouldn’t be by too much.”

Xiao Yan’s voice carried a hint of confidence as he said, ”A low-level Dou Zong — if I add in master’s secret help, combining the two, I believe I can handle him. At the very least I can tangle with him for a while. But as for the Hall of Souls’ Protector...”

Xiao Yan paused after speaking, then looked at Wei Yang and shook his head, solemnly saying:

”I have no confidence! So, I want to ask for your help. I know these past years, I already owe you a lot, but still, thick-skinned as I am, I have to ask you to help me one more time.”

By the end, Xiao Yan’s tone carried a hint of pleading.

Wei Yang had previously said he would deal with Yun Shan, but now...

If it were anyone else, with Xiao Yan’s personality, he absolutely wouldn’t have opened his mouth to ask like this.

But Wei Yang was different — for the sake of absolute certainty, Xiao Yan thickened his face and still spoke.

Anyway, the debt he owed Wei Yang was already huge, so one more wouldn’t change anything.

...

Hearing this, Wei Yang subconsciously frowned slightly, wanting to refuse.

He really did not want to come into contact with the Hall of Souls people too early.

Because once he made a move, he had to make sure he could completely kill the other party, leaving no chance of escape.

Otherwise, danger.

As long as he had close-range contact or fought with someone from the Hall of Souls, with how sensitive the Hall of Souls was regarding souls, they would surely detect Wei Yang’s true soul realm.

And the Hall of Souls Protector active in Jia Ma Empire was Protector Wu.

His strength seemed to be mid-level Dou Zong?

He himself was a Two-Star Dou Zong, going up against a mid-level Dou Zong, fighting beyond his level... tch, he felt a bit of a headache.

But in the end, faced with Xiao Yan’s eyes carrying that bit of pleading, Wei Yang still nodded, helplessly saying:

”All right.”

For this hometown friend’s request, Wei Yang found it hard to refuse.

Moreover, if the opponent was a Hall of Souls Protector, even if their realm was a bit higher than his own, with his Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, he still had some confidence.

”Thank you!”

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, exhaling a long breath, full of gratitude.

In his heart, it was as if a great boulder had been moved away, instantly feeling much more at ease.

”Sigh~” Wei Yang held his forehead and shook his head, his tone a bit helpless:

”Knowing you counts as the biggest mistake of my life, truly a sin~”

”Hehe.” Xiao Yan laughed awkwardly, then added, ”That’s called fate.”

”Fate my ass, get away from me, I don’t want any fate with you,” Wei Yang scolded with a laugh.

As he spoke, he even shifted his body to the side, with a very disgusted expression.

”Ha, dream on.” Xiao Yan shamelessly scooted a bit closer, blinking, and said in a low voice, ”This kind of meeting across time and space, if that’s not fate, then what is? You and I are destined, you can’t escape, just accept it.”

Wei Yang gritted his teeth, hatefully saying, ”Don’t you dare let me have a son later, otherwise just wait to bring your daughter to pay off the debt!”

”Tch.” Xiao Yan didn’t care at all, and said, ”That’s not certain, it’s fifty-fifty odds for everyone. Maybe I’ll have a son later, and you’ll have a daughter.”

”Then let them get engaged. Dare or not?” Wei Yang glared.

”Why wouldn’t I dare?” Xiao Yan smiled.

”Good!”

At the corner of Wei Yang’s mouth, a strange smile faintly appeared, but he quickly suppressed it, then said, ”Then it’s settled — in the future, no matter who has a son or who has a daughter, there must be a pair engaged as childhood sweethearts.”

”Deal!” Xiao Yan agreed without even thinking.

After all, gambling on odds was fifty-fifty for everyone, who won who lost was impossible to say.

Besides, if he could become in-laws with Wei Yang, even if on the surface it looked like a bit of a loss, in truth it was still a huge advantage.

No matter how you calculated it, it was not a bad deal.

This sort of account, Xiao Yan could easily balance.

Anyway, right now he didn’t even have a wife yet, so talking big and throwing out an empty promise felt extremely satisfying.

”Words are empty, let’s swear on it with a handshake!” Wei Yang raised one palm.

”Okay.” Xiao Yan also immediately raised a palm.

Pa~ pa~ pa~

Next, the two palms clapped together three times.

Thus, the agreement was officially established.

After this was done, Wei Yang laughed, very satisfied inside.

Snagging a daughter-in-law for free — no loss, no loss!

Xiao Yan also laughed, and couldn’t help but start fantasizing.

Imagining that if he had a son later, and Wei Yang had a daughter, that scene would be simply too beautiful to even describe.
