Chapter 712

As a native of the Dou Qi Continent, how could Xiao Yu possibly know the story of "The Wolf Came"?

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Yu's eyes grew confused and puzzled; she slightly furrowed her brow and asked, "What wolf came?"

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered with cunning as he smiled: "Once, in a remote corner of the Jia Ma Empire, there was a small city called Wutan City, where a girl often accused others of being big perverts. At first, people believed her, but after she said it too many times, no one believed her anymore."

"One day, when a real pervert finally appeared, no one believed her when she cried out. That's the story of 'The Wolf Came.'"

Hearing Xiao Yan's little tale, Xiao Yu's heart instantly spiraled into chaos—she understood perfectly what he meant. When she first accused Xiao Yan of sneaking a peek at her bathing, some clan members believed her; now, every single member of the Xiao Clan thought she was lying. Xiao Yan was upright, a Dou Di—how could he possibly do something so indecent?

And now, the wolf has truly come!!

"Ah!"

Xiao Yan's large hand slid up her smooth calf, gripping her round, snow-white thigh. At that moment, Xiao Yu couldn't help but cry out—a strange sensation surged through her.

"Xiao…Xiao Yan, I'm sorry, I won't call you a big pervert anymore—let go first!" Xiao Yu's posture was awkward: her thigh was lifted by him, one foot planted, pressed tightly against him.

She could feel his breath—a searing wave of male heat washed over her. She'd been this close to Xiao Yan only as a child, wrestling with him; since growing up, she'd never been this near.

Seeing Xiao Yu turn her head away, cheeks flushed, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, lips curling upward. He didn't deny that the Sea Heart Flame's sub-flame—it was truly a reflection of his own heart.

Back then, when Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yu bathing behind the Wutan City back mountain, that scene had deeply shaken his young heart. Xiao Yu was slightly older than him; though she hadn't fully developed yet, her figure was already exceptional—especially her beautiful legs, which were seared into his childhood memory.

So whenever Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yu, he always first scanned her legs.

Otherwise, why had he given her the sub-flame—the water-and-fire dual-natured Sea Heart Flame?

The Strange Flames understood.

"Hehehe, out here in the wilderness, scream all you want—no one will hear you," Xiao Yan let out a Gu Guai Xiao, transforming into the big bad wolf, wearing the expression of the Soul Hall.

Xiao Yan pulled Xiao Yu even tighter; her slender waist was nearly fully encircled in his arms.

Such an obvious gesture left Xiao Yu speechless; her body stiffened. She could feel her ears turning faintly red, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly.

"Xiao Yan… you… what are you going to do? We're…" Xiao Yu stammered.

Though she spoke those words, she was already leaning against his chest—clearly, her words and her body's reaction were at odds.

Hearing Xiao Yu's soft, weak tone, Xiao Yan knew she was just being stubborn. Deep down, even back in Wutan City, she'd already been deeply drawn to this prodigious Young Clan Leader—hence her constant excuses to bring up the childhood bathing incident to get close to him.

Since Xiao Yu was stubborn, he'd start with her mouth.

Xiao Yu's legs were long, and though she was shorter than Xiao Yan, she was only half a head shorter—slowly lowering his head, their Red Lips met in a kiss.

Instantly, Xiao Yu's body stiffened as if struck by lightning. In her entire life, she'd never kissed anyone; the most intimate contact with a male had been wrestling with Xiao Yan as a child—and now.

Sensing Xiao Yan's unique Strange Flame aura, the Sea Heart Flame sub-flame within Xiao Yu slowly rose—Xiao Yan hadn't even anticipated this effect: a resonance of body and soul.

The auras of Strange Flames intermingled, continuously cleansing her Meridians. Remember, Xiao Yan was a Dou Di—even a tiny leak of Dou Qi was a tremendous boon, easily boosting her Cultivation Realm, improving her innate talent and physical strength.

Now a Dou Di, Xiao Yan had transcended humanity—he could no longer be called merely a living being. His Dou Di Bloodline proved it: Dou Dis were no longer ordinary creatures, like gods bestowing special power, creating a new race.

This fusion of sub-flames was like a biological instinct, subtly transforming the host to adapt—pure instinct.

Not just Xiao Yu—Ya Fei and Qing Lin also saw their talents enhanced; the lower their Cultivation Realm, the more obvious the improvement.

Of course, Xiao Yu was completely unaware of this now—she only felt weightless, as if she'd become a butterfly dancing, like a moth drawn to flame—knowing the danger ahead, yet unable to resist.

Slowly pulling apart, Xiao Yan released his grip and lowered her long, beautiful leg. Xiao Yu's feet went weak; she collapsed onto him. Her face flushed, her breath fragrant, her eyes hazy as she looked up at Xiao Yan, Red Lips slightly parted—as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin.

Looking at the now tender, delicate Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan smiled and deliberately pinched his nose: "Xiao Yu, how can you be so careless about hygiene? You smell funny."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu was startled—she looked at her body and realized: due to the Strange Flame's body-refining, impurities had been expelled, emitting an odor.

Xiao Yu was utterly humiliated, flustered: "I—I'll go wash up right away!"

"No need to go back," Xiao Yan laughed, then swept her up in his arms, leapt lightly over the flowerbeds, and began to fall.

Beside them was actually a cliff—and below, a crystal-clear pool!

Splash! A burst of water, spray flying everywhere—the icy pool water instantly enveloped them. Underwater, Xiao Yan smiled at the astonished Xiao Yu.

Sensing something, Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at him, then broke the surface with a splash. Her long hair floated in the water, her soaked clothes clinging to her body, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.

The fabric clinging to her form revealed soft, sculpted contours—as if carved from art.

Another splash—Xiao Yan rose from beneath the water, gazing at the lotus emerging from the depths, grinning like the big bad wolf: "Hehehe, no need to sneak a peek this time."

Xiao Yu shot him a sultry glance, yet her body moved closer to him, her beautiful eyes locking onto his, whispering: "You big pervert—you planned this all along. You used to say my legs would end up belonging to someone else… but look, they ended up with you."

They formed their bond in water—and now, they repay it in water.

Whoosh! The pool water instantly ignited—a wisp of sea-blue mystical flame burned the water itself!

"Big pervert," Xiao Yu wrapped her legs around Xiao Yan's waist underwater, then surged upward, clutching his head and slamming it hard beneath the surface.

"Gurgle… gurgle… gurgle." (Hehehe, the wolf came.)

Xiao Yan certainly wouldn't be ensnared by sensual desires; next, he began the lecture of this Alchemist professor.

As Xiao Yan systematically explained the techniques on the Pill Formulas and what to watch for during Spirit Refining, after he finished, Yao Ling and the others remained stunned for a long time. Dan Chen was the first to snap back—when she did, she shuddered involuntarily!

Everyone stared at Xiao Yan in disbelief. Knowing how to refine Pills and being able to teach and explain were two entirely different things—like a genius Pill Refiner with immense talent who still couldn't articulate a single technique.

Transmitting the Dao, instructing, resolving doubts—that was an entirely different path!

And some of the most basic Pill Alchemy fundamentals, under Xiao Yan's explanation, suddenly revealed a whole new world to them—they grasped the underlying principles.

The only ones who remained calm were Cao Ying and Dan Chen, and Xiao Princess Yue—especially Yue Er. Though she didn't constantly cling to Xiao Yan, during the early days of the Yan Alliance, she received the most guidance from him. Without that, with her Pill Alchemy talent barely matching Xin Lan's, she could never have surpassed her so dramatically.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen had both served as Xiao Yan's Pill Apprentices for months at Xiao Dan Ta, receiving a few days of instruction.

Yao Ling and Yao Tian were the most astonished. The Yao Clan had ancient traditions—they'd had Pill Mentor instruction within their clan, and later even direct teaching from Clan Leader Yao Dan. Could Xiao Yan's strength lie not just in his Pill Alchemy talent, but also in his Mentor talent?!

"Don't be so surprised," Xiao Yan waved his hand. "Though I can refine Golden Pills and turned an Imperial Grade Embryonic Pill into an Emperor Pill, teaching isn't my specialty. I'm merely repeating notes and teachings left by my Master."

Xiao Yan was simply rephrasing the three months from his Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation.

Pill Alchemists need a mentor to guide them—and Xiao Yan was fortunate to have had a top-tier Master.

Time flew by, and finally, amid countless expectant gazes, the day arrived for Xiao Yan to transmit his Pill Refining legacy.

In the Jia Nan Xue Yuan Nei Yuan, the place where Xiao Yan once refined the Imperial Grade Pill had become a famous landmark—and this time, he would refine again at the same spot.

Long before, many Alchemists had already arrived; those standing around to observe the Pill Refining included Dan Chen, Cao Ying, and six others, plus several Alchemists connected to Xiao Yan.
