Chapter 322

Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not delay any further. Although he knew they would surely give him the cold shoulder after they got out, coaxing them one by one was still easier than dealing with them all at once.

He casually shrank the defensive barrier condensed from the Yin Yang Dual Flames, then controlled it to fly upward. After flying for quite a while, he finally reached the surface.

Raising his eyes to look at the blinding sun, blue sky, and white clouds in the sky, Xiao Yan greedily took a breath of fresh air; after all, the feeling of surviving a disaster was truly wonderful. His right hand subconsciously wrapped around Xun Er's slender waist.

Sensing Xiao Yan's subconscious action, a smile curled the corners of Xun Er's mouth. She let go of the hand she had been pinching Xiao Yan with and hugged him tightly with both arms.

Seeing this intimate scene from the side, Medusa felt inexplicably irritable. With a single strike, she shattered the defensive barrier in the sky and vanished directly into a streak of red light.

"Xiao Yan, remember! You owe me a life! I will come to collect it at any time!" After Medusa disappeared, only a threatening remark remained.

"Great Elder, long time no see!" Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian and said with a faint smile.

"Brother Xiao Yan, how could you be like this!" Xiao Yi Xian had originally been somewhat moved, but upon hearing Xun Er list so many women's names, she immediately said with annoyance.

"What about Nalan Yanran and Medusa?" Xun Er asked immediately after.

"Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly. To be honest, he was extremely surprised by Nalan Yanran's appearance.

After Xun Er and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged a glance, they both inexplicably felt at ease. Although this time had been a brush with death, it was worth rejoicing that Xiao Yan's heart, which had been scattering affection everywhere, had finally been settled. No one wanted to share a man with so many women.

"Someone is coming!" The commotion caused by Medusa breaking the seal earlier was not small, naturally attracting the attention of the Inner Academy Elders.

Su Qian led a group of Elders and rushed toward Xiao Yan's side, fearing that the magma might erupt again.

Upon hearing this, Xun Er and Xiao Yi Xian were stunned for a moment, startled by Xiao Yan's serious expression. Having spent so much time with him, they naturally understood him very well; once Xiao Yan wore such an expression, it had to be true.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a headache coming on and immediately asked, "You still haven't told me why you appeared here! And that Medusa, you two shouldn't have known each other before, right?"

"Uh... I can't be blamed for this, right! Although I was indeed a bit muddled at the time!" Xiao Yan found himself in a difficult spot.

"I luckily escaped with my life!" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

Seeing Xiao Yan being so shameless and still wanting to have one in each arm, Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes, but she still walked to Xiao Yan's side and snuggled into his embrace.

"And Medusa! It's either her or me!" Xiao Yi Xian threatened from the side.

"You are Xiao Yan? You are actually still alive! And Miss Xun Er is also alive!" Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan and his group, seeing they were safe and sound, and said joyfully.

"Xiao Yi Xian!" Xiao Yan smiled and extended his left hand toward her, signaling for her to come into his arms.

"I found news of you in the Chuyun Empire and heard you were in trouble, so I rushed over. As for that Medusa! Because I go to Qingshan Town once every year, I once passed through the Taguer Desert. Those snake-people coveted my beauty, so I poisoned quite a few of them to death. For some reason, Medusa found out about this, which is why we are so at odds!"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan also felt a bit troubled. If he were to just give up, he couldn't get past his own conscience, but he immediately felt relieved.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and then said solemnly, "I promise you all, from now on, I will not provoke any other women!"

"Back then, Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement but was defeated by you. From then on, Brother Xiao Yan's figure has always accompanied Nalan Yanran; it can be said that Brother Xiao Yan has become her nightmare. Nalan Yanran has turned hate into love!" Xun Er explained.

"As long as you're alive! As long as you're alive!" Su Qian stroked his beard and laughed.

"If you really want to thank us, then don't go around provoking women!" Xiao Yi Xian reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Xiao Yan's waist hard as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan just scratched his head awkwardly, because these words really had no lethality; he estimated that even she herself didn't believe them.

"You solve the matter between you and Nalan Yanran yourself, I won't interfere! Anyway, Brother Xiao Yan has promised not to provoke other women, and he must keep his word!" Xun Er couldn't directly persuade Xiao Yan to give up, so she said this directly.

"You say it as if it's true, but what about Yun Yun of the Yunlan Sect? What about Imperial Princess Yao Ye of the Gama Empire? These two have already had relations with Brother Xiao Yan. And Ya Fei of the Mittel Auction House, your relationship is also quite unusual, right! And Medusa and Nalan Yanran, these two have saved Brother Xiao Yan's life, and their feelings for you are very deep; do you not want them either?" Xun Er said with some jealousy.

"I'm leaving first too!" Seeing Medusa leave, Nalan Yanran didn't want to stay for even a moment. After saying this, she directly manifested Dou Qi wings and flew away.

Upon hearing the solution Xiao Yan provided, Xun Er and Xiao Yi Xian were also very satisfied. Xiao Yan was just like this; once he did something, he would take responsibility. This was also the reason they felt at ease.

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "I will compensate Yao Ye. Her heart is entirely set on managing the country, so feelings are just an experience for her; in the future, I will give her a bigger stage. The same goes for Ya Fei; she prefers managing business, and in the future, I will also give her a stage to perform. Moreover, nothing happened between us; it's more about mutual appreciation. As for Yun Yun, I will ask for her opinion."

"Hmph! Damn it! You don't want me to be with him, but I insist on being with him!" Hiding in the shadows and secretly observing Xiao Yan, Medusa was so angry that she was fuming, wishing she could slap Xiao Yi Xian to death.

However, Xiao Yan immediately understood as a group of people wearing standard armor slowly appeared in his field of vision.

"I really have to thank you both this time!" Xiao Yan hugged the two of them tightly and said with a happy face.

Seeing Su Qian so happy, Xiao Yan was immediately puzzled. Why are you so happy just because I'm alive!

With the departure of Medusa and Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan, Xun Er, and Xiao Yi Xian all breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. The Snake-People Tribe had many secret techniques; although Medusa had always been carried by Xiao Yan, she must have learned about the Snake-People Tribe's affairs through secret techniques.

The leader was an extremely handsome youth. The youth was expressionless, and as his gaze shifted slightly, it was like a sharp blade, causing a chill to run through one's entire body.

The youth saw Xun Er snuggled in Xiao Yan's arms, and what made him even more jealous was that there was also a silver-haired woman in purple in Xiao Yan's arms.
