Prepare yourself in the next couple of days. Then, we'll head to that small valley you found."
After speaking, he lightly ruffled Xiao Yixian's hair and returned cheerfully to his own room.
Once Xiao Yan left, Xiao Yixian's body remained stiff for a while before she slowly relaxed. She watched him leave, letting out a soft sigh.
"He even knows about Little Blue… How does he know everything?"
"But he said this is a chance for Little Blue's evolution, and that small valley…"
Her mind spun with endless thoughts. Suddenly, she recalled the conversation in the cave from earlier that day, finally shaking her head.
"Forget it. If he wanted to harm me, there are far too many ways he could."
Her slender figure returned under the moonlight to her own room.
After tidying up, she lay quietly on her bed, letting the cool moonlight cascade over her delicate face.
"Could it really be… that past lives and reincarnation exist?"
She shook her head helplessly. Thinking of the several times she had physical contact with Xiao Yan earlier that day, her face blushed again.
"Still… his embrace really does feel safe."
A faint curve appeared on her lips as she recalled the warmth of his arms.
She couldn't understand why she always felt defenseless around him.
Even when hugging on the cliff and in the cave, a strange feeling would arise between them, one that made her feel an odd ache in her heart and even shed tears.
"And… can he really cure this strange illness of mine?"
Her thoughts whirled as Xiao Yixian slowly drifted into a deep sleep.
In the following days, aside from one trip to gather herbs, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan mostly stayed at Wan Yao Zhai.
After a few days of interaction, due to multiple factors, Xiao Yixian no longer resisted Xiao Yan as strongly.
While she was not proactive, many of his actions and words no longer made her roll her eyes in annoyance as before.
Additionally, after initially studying the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, she finally understood the nature of her terrifying body.
Upon realizing her body was called the Calamity Poison Body, she was visibly terrified, her delicate face turning pale.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan was prepared. After a session of careful reassurance, her panicked state finally calmed.
This incident brought them closer. Though still not lovers, the bond had clearly surpassed ordinary friendship.
The closeness reminded Xiao Yan of their time together in the small valley.
He did not rush matters. Some feelings, when left to mature over time, naturally evolve. After all, he was only thirteen years old and could not act recklessly.
A few days later, Xiao Yan finally brought Xiao Yixian to see Boss Yao.
Boss Yao, I need to take Xiao Yixian out for a while. It may take some time before we return."
Xiao Yan greeted Boss Yao and, with a slightly blushing Xiao Yixian, left Wan Yao Zhai.
"Hehe, Young Master Xiao Yan, do as you please. Xiao Yixian's salary will still be paid," Boss Yao said with a sly smile, winking at Xiao Yixian.
He assumed Xiao Yan was taking her out for some romantic purpose. He did not oppose it; in fact, he was quite pleased.
Without Xiao Yixian, Wan Yao Zhai would lose a beautiful physician, affecting business in Qing Shan Town.
But by currying favor with Xiao Yan, Boss Yao's influence could extend far beyond.
"Heh heh, from now on, Wan Yao Zhai's business will reach the city.
Eventually, my herbs will be sold to the most prestigious alchemists," he thought smugly.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian had already left Qing Shan Town.
High above, a massive blue eagle spread its wings, gliding through the sky.
On its back, the black-clad young man and the white-clad girl sat quietly.
Xiao Yan's arm gently embraced Xiao Yixian's slender waist.
A faint smile curved his lips as he recalled past memories.
Feeling the warmth of his arm, Xiao Yixian's face flushed. Seeing that he made no excessive moves, she slowly relaxed.
