"Elder Xiao, Xinlan wants to be your woman…"
The young woman bit her thin lip lightly, standing gracefully, speaking heartwarming words in a soft tone.
Looking at Ye Xinlan in her long dress, as gentle and charming as water, and very poised, Xiao Li beckoned to her.
Ye Xinlan hesitated for only a second before slowly walking up to Xiao Li.
She had already prepared herself mentally; no matter what happened next, she would accept it.
"Xinlan, have you really thought it through? I don't want you to force yourself."
Ye Xinlan shook her head: "I'm not forcing myself."
She proactively approached Xiao Li and pressed her soft, thin lips against him.
The woman's gentle breath continuously entered Xiao Li's nostrils, refreshing and pleasant.
After a kiss, the two separated.
Ye Xinlan's cheeks were flushed, her beautiful eyes filled with a trace of affection.
She wasn't forcing herself.
A man like Xiao Li, with his formidable strength, superb alchemy skills, gentle demeanor, and handsome appearance, surely no woman could interact with him and not feel something.
From the very beginning at Jia Nan Academy, when Xiao Li single-handedly turned the tide, his figure had already silently imprinted itself in Ye Xinlan's heart.
It was just that at that time, she hadn't even formally met Xiao Li.
Then, at the Ye Family, Xiao Li's timely appearance saved Ye Xinlan from the fate of marrying into the Cao Family.
And now, Xiao Li had successfully helped the Ye Family retain their seat, thoroughly showcasing his charisma.
Ye Xinlan's heart had already been captured by Xiao Li without her even realizing it.
Xiao Li looked at the woman in front of him, no longer reserved. With a large arm, he wrapped it around Ye Xinlan's waist, pulling her into his embrace, and kissed her again.
"Mmm…"
His kiss was somewhat domineering, somewhat fervent, making Ye Xinlan a little overwhelmed for a moment, her heart racing.
But she tried her best to respond.
Xiao Li's palm caressed her fair, beautiful legs, the delicate touch making both of them feel a burst of elation.
Subsequently, her dress was slowly lifted, and Ye Xinlan shyly covered her eyes.
"Elder Xiao… please don't… keep looking like that."
"Xinlan, you are very beautiful."
Xiao Li kissed every inch of her skin.
Soon after, Ye Xinlan's delicate body suddenly trembled, her breathing becoming more rapid, her skin a radiant pink.
Seeing that she had entered the state, Xiao Li no longer waited and directly began… [Ding! Successfully won over Ye Xinlan!]
[Reward 'Profound Soul Jade'!]
[Profound Soul Jade: After consumption, it can strengthen soul power!]
After a round of activity.
Ye Xinlan fell asleep contentedly in Xiao Li's room… The next morning, people from the Pill Tower arrived.
And it was Elder Sheng!
"Elder Sheng, why have you come?" Ye Zhong quickly went out to greet him.
"Could there be a problem with the assessment results?"
The only thing he could think of was the assessment results; otherwise, Elder Sheng would have no reason to look for him.
"Hahaha, it has nothing to do with the assessment results, and you don't need to worry so much," Elder Sheng laughed.
He naturally knew the reason for Ye Zhong's nervousness.
After all, the Ye Family had been last in the assessment for two consecutive years, and this year they finally turned the situation around.
If someone told him there was a problem with the assessment results at this moment, it would be too dramatic.
"This old man came today to find Young Master Xiao," Elder Sheng said, smiling as he looked at Xiao Li.
"Me?"
"Yes, our Pill Tower's President Xuan Kongzi wants to invite you for a meeting," Elder Sheng said.
As soon as he spoke, Ye Zhong, who was beside them, was even more surprised.
Xuan Kongzi actually wanted to meet Xiao Li?
This was an unprecedented honor!
"What does President Xuan Kongzi want to see me for?"
"You'll know once you meet the President. Or is Young Master Xiao unavailable?"
"That's not it. If President Xuan Kongzi wants to see me, I naturally have to go."
Xiao Li wasn't that arrogant.
Afterward, he followed Elder Sheng to the inner domain of Holy Pill City.
There were many people in the square of Holy Pill City.
But upon entering the inner domain, the surrounding crowd immediately decreased by more than half.
The inner domain belonged to the core area of the Pill Tower; only Pill Tower members could enter, outsiders were not allowed.
Of course, if led by a Pill Tower member, one could also enter.
Finally, Xiao Li arrived at the central area of the inner domain, where a towering pagoda, nearly a hundred zhang tall, stood majestically, piercing the clouds!
This was the true Pill Tower!
"The President is already waiting for you inside, go in."
Elder Sheng stood outside the door and did not enter.
Xiao Li nodded, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Inside the grand hall, numerous bookshelves lined the walls.
A white-robed old man was carefully dusting the bookshelves.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man turned around, looked at Xiao Li, and showed a gentle smile on his face.
"You are Xiao Li?"
"Junior Xiao Li greets President Xuan Kongzi," Xiao Li respectfully bowed.
The Pill Tower was a colossal entity, so this courtesy was necessary.
"Heh heh, no need to be so polite," Xuan Kongzi smiled slightly, his profound gaze appraising Xiao Li.
Xiao Li could feel a sense of being scrutinized; this was Xuan Kongzi sensing his soul power.
After a few seconds, Xuan Kongzi's gaze became even more profound: "Young Master Xiao, at such a young age, possesses such formidable soul power. Truly, genius emerges in youth."
"President Xuan overpraises me."
Although there was a significant difference in status between them, Xiao Li did not become obsequious because of it.
He showed no stage fright due to Xuan Kongzi's identity.
"May I ask, President Xuan, what matter brings you to call me today?" Xiao Li was not here to exchange pleasantries with an old man.
Whatever it was, it should be said.
"Hahaha, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
"I called you here today to introduce you to a few young people; they should be arriving soon."
As Xuan Kongzi's words fell, the door to the grand hall opened again.
Three figures slowly walked in from outside.
Leading them was Cao Ying.
Beside her was a delicate young woman.
Beside Dan Chen was a rather handsome young man in black, wearing a badge of a seventh-grade high-level Alchemist on his chest.
"Cao Ying, you two should already know each other, so I won't introduce you further."
"And this little girl is Dan Chen of the Dan Family; her alchemy talent is no weaker than Cao Ying's."
"This is Song Qing, the disciple of our Pill Tower's Grand Elder."
Xuan Kongzi introduced them to each other.
"Young Master Xiao, we meet again," Cao Ying smiled enchantingly, full of charm.
"Indeed, we meet again." Xiao Li was quite interested in this foxy woman.
It was a pity the occasion wasn't suitable, otherwise, he wouldn't mind chatting a bit more.
"Why are there only three of you? There should be one more person," Xuan Kongzi looked around.
Finally, a young man walked in from outside the door.
"President Xuan, I apologize for making you all wait."
"It's fine. Come, let me introduce you. This is…"
Xuan Kongzi was about to introduce Xiao Li to the young man.
But he and Xiao Li both froze when they saw each other's faces.
"Second Brother?"
"Little Yanzi?"
