"Cooking?" Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a hint of a smile, but he didn't return to the hut. Instead, he closed his eyes and entered into cultivation.
Daily cultivation was essential. True experts, regardless of their level, would never forget to cultivate.
On the first day he arrived in this world, Xiao Yan understood clearly that wealth and power were superficial. The only thing that truly determined a person's status in this world was strength.
When you possess immense strength, these things will come to you.
Women are the same. If Xiao Yan were just a mere Dou Fighter, even if he could win the affection of these women, it would be difficult for him to keep them.
More likely, he would be ignored like a passerby.
Thus, his mind quickly calmed, and he quietly felt the slow flow of Dou Qi within his body.
The night was cool, with twinkling stars. The wind from afar blew into the basin, causing the lush flowers and grasses to ripple in colorful waves. The air was filled with a beautiful, vibrant energy that swirled throughout the basin.
Xiao Yi Xian sat on her small bed, her fair chin resting lightly on her knees as she gazed at a small bowl of congee on a table not far away.
A gentle breeze drifted into the room, caressing her skin with a refreshing coolness, mingled with the invigorating fragrance of flowers and plants.
"Why hasn't that rascal come back yet? I even made him a meal."
"Right, he's a Dou Emperor, he probably doesn't even need to eat anymore." She wrinkled her delicate nose in annoyance, then quietly looked out at the distant mountains.
That should be where Xiao Yan was in seclusion.
Watching like this, she slowly began to feel sleepy, and finally, she gently lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Even in her dreams, a faint smile played on her lips.
After an unknown amount of time, the chirping of birds woke her from her slumber. The morning air, with a hint of coolness and moisture, filled her lungs.
"Ugh!" Xiao Yi Xian felt as if she were draped in a light, thin veil. It wasn't heavy at all, but it was incredibly warm. Waking from her slumber, she couldn't help but stretch languidly, then slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
As her long, elegant eyelashes lifted, a handsome face with a warm smile appeared before her.
"You… when did you get here?" Xiao Yi Xian was startled, her first reaction being to sit up and check her clothes.
"Thank goodness, this rascal didn't do anything to me."
However, what stirred her heart was a black robe gently draped over her.
"Awake?" Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
"Yes!" Xiao Yi Xian nodded, instinctively wrapping the black robe around herself.
Warm… very comfortable.
"You cooked for me last night, huh? Looks like you still care about this young master, after all," Xiao Yan suddenly flashed his signature mischievous grin.
"Who cooked for you? I just happened to make too much."
Xiao Yi Xian snorted softly.
"You're quite the tsundere, aren't you, little miss?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Since you're awake, get up and eat."
"Eat? But you haven't cooked yet." The puzzled look on Xiao Yi Xian's face hadn't faded when she saw a table laden with delicious food behind Xiao Yan.
"All of this… you made it?" Surprise flashed across Xiao Yi Xian's face.
"Is there a problem? Hurry up and try this young master's cooking." Xiao Yan chuckled.
"Why didn't I hear anything?"
"A Grade 7 Alchemist is cooking for you with a Heavenly Flame. Be grateful, woman."
Xiao Yi Xian finally sat down at the table, looked at the abundant food in front of her, and picked up a piece, opening her small mouth to take a gentle bite.
"Hmm?" She couldn't help but take another small bite.
A moment later, she looked at the food on the table, most of which she had already finished, and couldn't help but blush as she looked at Xiao Yan.
"I didn't expect you to be such a big eater, huh?" Xiao Yan looked at her with a smile.
"You're so annoying! Burp~" She was just about to reach out and hit Xiao Yan, but she burped again, which made her pretty face even redder.
But to be honest, this guy's cooking is really good.
After finishing breakfast, the two walked out of the thatched hut, strolling through the vast sea of grass.
The morning sun had slowly risen, casting golden rays over the basin and onto the faces of the two.
"Truly beautiful!" Even with Xiao Yan's state of mind, he couldn't help but admire the beauty of nature.
"Yes, it is beautiful!" Xiao Yi Xian added softly.
The two of them strolled through a world filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds, like a pair of immortal lovers.
Days passed in this manner. They lived a life of unspoken understanding, though Xiao Yi Xian was often teased, her face turning red.
In the mountain cave at the edge of the basin, Xiao Yan sat at the entrance, his figure bathed in the soft glow of the moon, which cast a faint silver light on the ground and illuminated his body.
He closed his eyes with ease. With each breath, the energy of the world transformed into fine currents that flowed through his nostrils.
Counting the time, he had been away from the Jia Ma Empire Capital for a full month. This month, along with the accumulation from their dual cultivation, had allowed his strength to improve once more. He had now reached the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Emperor level.
"Next, it's time to break through to the Nine Star Dou Emperor!"
Xiao Yan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Boom! Two flames, one black and one white, transformed into long dragons and flew out of the mountain cave, slowly rotating.
In an instant, the energy within the entire basin began to faintly boil.
The black and white dragons spun faster and faster, and the energy within the entire basin rapidly converged towards Xiao Yan. Soon, an energy vortex with a diameter of several dozen feet formed in front of him.
After this energy vortex was refined by the Yin Yang Holy Flame, it quickly turned into extremely pure energy and flowed into Xiao Yan's body.
The Dou Qi within Xiao Yan, which had been somewhat calm, also began to boil at this moment. With more and more energy being injected, the Dou Qi within his body became increasingly full.
Finally, when this Dou Qi was filled to a certain extent, a cracking sound, only Xiao Yan could hear, echoed within his body.
Boom! The Dou Qi within him, which had already been crammed and flowing slowly, suddenly surged like a wild horse breaking free, vast and turbulent like a raging river.
A beam of light erupted from Xiao Yan's head, blasting a bottomless hole through the rock above him, ultimately piercing through the mountain and streaking across the sky.
Rumble! Rumble! The entire mountain shook violently, causing a slight tremor throughout the entire basin.
Xiao Yi Xian, in the distant hut, witnessed this scene. Feeling the tremors emanating from the earth, she gently bit her rosy lips.
"Catching up to you... is truly not an easy task."
Xiao Yi Xian sighed softly and produced a small packet of black powder from her bosom.
