Chapter 726: Everything Knows

"Yun Zhi, whether it's because you don't want to hurt others, or because you're stubborn and traditional, I will shatter all of it—you belong to me alone!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's unreasonable, utterly uncompromising declaration, Yun Yun's bright eyes softened with tenderness, and certain chains within her heart shattered under this domineering words.

"You little rascal, Xiao Yan, you've truly grown up," Yun Yun slowly extended her Jade Hand, gently stroking Xiao Yan's cheek, speaking softly.

Feeling the soft touch on his cheek, Xiao Yan's expression gradually softened; he knew clearly in his heart that this woman held a certain place within him.

Looking at Xiao Yan's resolute gaze, that unrivaled, emperor-like bearing, was deeply imprinted upon her heart.

Yun Yun took a deep breath; at this moment, she didn't know where her courage came from—she let out a soft whimper and threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms, spreading her Jade Arms to wrap around his neck, her lips exhaling fragrance as she couldn't help but kiss his lips.

"You bad little thing, now that you've become a Dou Emperor, you threaten me," Yun Yun scolded lightly, her beautiful eyes tinged with reproach. She never expected that the first bad thing Xiao Yan did after becoming a Dou Emperor would be toward her.

Although in essence, it wasn't a bad thing.

"Isn't it all because of you—so foolish and kind? If anyone found out, my entire lifetime's reputation would be ruined—I'd be recorded in Dou Qi Continent history as the first Dou Emperor to use drugs!"

Clearly, Xiao Yan now understood: to deal with a woman like Yun Yun, one must be domineering, leaving no room for refusal!

【Manual review failed, deleted.】

Xiao Yan placed Yun Yun upon the stone bed; the coldness of the stone seeped through her damp clothing, lowering her inner heat slightly and restoring some reason.

But at this moment, whether reason or passion ruled, Yun Yun's choice would not change—her heart's door had already been brutally kicked open by this bad little thing.

"Xiao Yan, what about Nalan Yanran?" Yun Yun's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly; her kind heart could not bear it—even when she met Hua Po Po and saw her pitiful state, she had helped her find medicine, let alone Nalan Yanran, who had followed her since childhood and accompanied her even on the journey to the Hua Sect.

When she imagined Nalan Yanran learning of this and growing distant from her, Yun Yun's heart tightened with sorrow.

Xiao Yan shrugged and chuckled: "When the boat reaches the bridge, it'll find its way."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yun Yun fell silent; yet at this moment, there truly was no better solution.

"But right now, there's something more important to do," Xiao Yan suddenly grew serious.

"What is it?"

"Ah!" In that instant, Yun Yun cried out—before she could react, Xiao Yan had already scooped her up.

Both their clothes had been soaked by Fire Cloud Water Flame and laid aside.

"Xiao Yan!" This made Yun Yun blush furiously, burying her head into his chest and whispering: "What else do you want to do?"

"This stone bed's too hard—let's go back to the Hua Sect," Xiao Yan smiled, his casual words brimming with dominance as they instantly tore open Space.

Hearing Xiao Yan planned to return to the Hua Sect, Yun Yun blushed so intensely she felt she had no place to hide, burying her head deep into his chest, her face burning hot, too ashamed to face anyone.

Xiao Yan swept Yun Yun into his arms and stepped into the Space Channel; when Yun Yun lifted her head, Xiao Yan had already carried her into his own room in the Hua Sect.

"I, I, we…" At this moment, Xiao Yan's large hand cradled her fragrant buttocks; without realizing it, her jade legs had wrapped around his waist, leaving her utterly flustered, wanting to jump down but held tightly by Xiao Yan.

"Hehehe, Sect Master Yun, this is the Hua Sect—countless Hua Sect Disciples are around; their fates rest in your hands," Xiao Yan smirked slyly.

Yun Yun pouted angrily, lowering her head to gently bite his shoulder, whispering: "You're pulling this trick on me again."

"Hehehe, Sect Master Yun," Xiao Yan tossed Yun Yun onto the bed, watching her like a helpless lamb at his mercy—he grinned like a wolf who had just succeeded in his scheme.

Xiao Yan had finally figured it out.

Yet Yun Yun did not know that someone was eavesdropping outside the door.

"Master and Xiao Yan!!" Outside the door, Nalan Yanran's face was deathly pale—she had just witnessed this!

"How could this be… Why would Master… Didn't Master say this never happened?!" Nalan Yanran's mind went blank; she gritted her teeth, about to push the door open—when suddenly, beautiful singing drifted from within the room.

Hearing the sound, Nalan Yanran's hand froze midair, her cheeks flushing red—she didn't know if it was from anger or something else.

Gradually, perhaps from standing too long, her legs grew weak, and she slowly sank to the ground; she wanted to leave, yet for some reason, her feet refused to move.

Nalan Yanran's mind was utterly chaotic, images flooding into her thoughts like waves.

She didn't know how much time had passed; her mind was a whirl, time meaningless, her heart pounding wildly, blood surging into her brain, turning her neck a deep crimson.

But then—CRACK! —the door suddenly opened; Nalan Yanran, leaning against it to eavesdrop, stumbled backward and fell. She looked up—and saw a giant-like figure standing before her.

WHOOSH—a wave of heat poured from the room; steam from Fire Cloud Water Flame surged out, the scorching, humid wind of the strange fire striking Nalan Yanran's delicate face.

"I-I-I-I…" The once arrogant and haughty Nalan Yanran had become someone entirely different—her face filled with panic, her eyes wide with shock and fear at the towering figure.

It was exactly like the scene when Xiao Yan had appeared at the Alchemist Convention in the Jia Ma Empire!

Except this time, he wasn't distant—he was right here, within arm's reach.

Xiao Yan looked down; Nalan Yanran, who due to years of sword training had a cold, frost-like beauty, her brow always carrying three parts icy pride and sharpness—yet now, this peerless swordlike girl had become terrified.

This side of Nalan Yanran was strangely alluring.

"Eavesdropping isn't good."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran was both ashamed and furious—she wished she could crawl into a hole and quickly explained: "I wasn't—I just happened to be passing by—"

Xiao Yan's eyes gleamed with cunning as he chuckled: "I wasn't talking about you—I was talking about myself."

???

【What if… I hadn't broken off our engagement back then… would things be…?】

At that moment, Yin-Yang Dual Flames appeared; the white Yang Flame exhaled a bubble, inside which played Nalan Yanran's secret confession of love, spoken alone at Tian Shan Xue Tan!

BOOM—a thunderclap exploded in Nalan Yanran's mind!

He knows everything!!

Nalan Yanran was struck dumb, her eyes glazed over. He had known all along that she loved him!! Then all these years of pretending she felt nothing—was it all…?!

At this moment, the roots of Nalan Yanran's ears burned crimson; she felt as if she could barely breathe.

Social death!

At this moment, Nalan Yanran's peripheral vision caught sight of the room—her master lying on the bed—and she could not imagine how her noble, dignified, mature master had become like this!

A large hand slowly reached out; Nalan Yanran looked up at Xiao Yan before her, having lost the ability to think, she merely followed her deepest inner impulse and grasped his outstretched hand.

Nalan Yanran thought to herself: "If he already knew, then it didn't matter anymore—might as well fulfill the marriage contract."

Xiao Yan slowly pulled with strength, dragging Nalan Yanran into Yun Yun's room.

Thud—the door closed.

Desire binds Yanran and Yun Yun, ultimately alike, drunk in the same dream.

Sun rose and set, time passed; a strand of sunlight spilled through the window, illuminating the room, while Xiao Yan had already left, leaving only two slender figures wrapped in sheets.

"Master, you've always liked him, haven't you? You only avoided him because of me?" Nalan Yanran turned her head toward the mature silhouette beside her, her beautiful eyes holding a strange glint.

Yun Yun sighed softly, her Jade Hand emerging from beneath the sheets to gently brush back Nalan Yanran's bangs. "We are both karmic entanglements with him."

Seeing Yun Yun's tenderness, Nalan Yanran smiled and wrapped her arms around her, affectionately saying, "Master, being with you like this now isn't so bad."

Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Yun Yun's cheeks flushed red, and she lightly tapped her forehead. "What are you talking about?"

In the blink of an eye, three years passed, and the Heavenly Tomb was finally completed.
