360. Uncontrollable shyness
As dawn broke, golden sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, gently illuminating Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor. The two nestled together, as if enjoying a brief moment of peace after a long battle.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his deep eyes as the morning light shone on his bare upper body, which gleamed softly as he sat up. Looking at Xiao Yi Xian, who was still sleeping peacefully beside him, a wistful smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips, as if he were still reminiscing about the tender moments he shared with her the previous night.
Sunlight fell upon Little Fairy Doctor's delicate, porcelain-like skin, giving it a soft glow. A subtle fragrance seemed to linger in the air, a wondrous fusion of Little Fairy Doctor's natural scent and the unique aroma of herbs. Such a beautiful scene stirred a quiet sense of wonder within Xiao Yan.
Little Fairy Doctor seemed to sense something as well. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her sleepy, still hazy eyes met Xiao Yan's gaze, and Little Fairy Doctor snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushing slightly. She felt Xiao Yan's presence. She remembered everything from last night, his hot breath and the warmth of his body, and his clumsy movements—clumsy yet careful, full of tenderness.
Suddenly, Little Fairy Doctor's face flushed even more. She shyly looked away, her long eyelashes casting long, thin shadows in the sunlight. An indescribable tranquility and warmth filled the air, and their breathing seemed to synchronize at that moment. Little Fairy Doctor gently bit her lower lip, hesitating whether to break the silence, but in the end, she simply curled up slightly, snuggling even closer to Xiao Yan.
"Little Fairy Doctor Sister." Qinglin's clear voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Little Fairy Doctor's body trembled suddenly. She quickly covered Xiao Yan's mouth with one hand, then cleared her throat and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Yixian so nervous, almost like a thief, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile. Even with Xiao Yixian covering his mouth, his eyes still curved into a smile. But Xiao Yixian's close proximity and her proud, firm breasts made Xiao Yan's heart flutter.
"It seems the young master has gone out. Did he tell you where he's going?" Qinglin's slightly puzzled voice rang out.
"I don't know either. He probably just went out on business and will come back on his own," Little Fairy Doctor replied.
Qinglin, standing outside the door, nodded obediently and didn't ask any further questions. Sensing Qinglin's departure, Little Fairy Doctor relaxed and released Xiao Yan. Looking at the tense Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Couldn't you just tell them directly?"
"No way!" Little Fairy Doctor blushed so deeply it was almost dripping blood, and she immediately burrowed back into bed.
"What should we do then?"
"You figure something out!" Little Fairy Doctor buried her head in the blanket, leaving the problem to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled helplessly yet indulgently, covered Xiao Yixian's exposed fair wrist with the blanket, dressed quickly, and darted out of the window before solemnly returning through the front door.
The three women were already seated in the living room. Little Fairy Doctor's expression remained unchanged; Xiao Yan couldn't detect a trace of her earlier shyness. Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a brief glance, during which a hint of threat flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.
As soon as Xiao Yan sat down, Mu Qingluan asked, "Senior brother, when did you go out? I think I saw you last night."
Upon hearing Mu Qingluan's words, Xiao Yan remained relatively calm, but Little Fairy Doctor's expression instantly turned sour. Fortunately, Xiao Yan remained composed and slowly said, "I failed to refine the pills yesterday, so I went out to relax."
The four of them were unusually seated together without any cultivation, but the atmosphere was rather strange. Finally, amidst this unusual atmosphere, Xiao Yan retreated back into the alchemy room. After last night's experience, Xiao Yan felt as if his entire body had been elevated, and he effortlessly refined a mid-grade seventh-rank pill. A day passed quickly after the pill was completed, and the trade fair organized by Lin Xiu's gang began that very day!
As soon as he stepped out of the room, the three women were already waiting quietly outside. Each woman was dressed differently but with her own unique style. Little Fairy Doctor was elegant and graceful; Mu Qingluan, despite her young age, possessed a strange charm befitting a magical beast; and Qinglin, dressed in a green robe, was as pure and ethereal as a mountain spring. Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire them; having three like them by his side was indeed a feast for the eyes.
"Are you ready?" Xiao Yan asked.
The three women nodded, then put on their veils and left the room. After leaving, Xiao Yan and his group encountered two groups of people, all exuding a calm and powerful aura, clearly not weaklings. Each group cautiously sized them up before passing by. Xiao Yan guessed that these people were likely also invited to the trade fair. Judging from the participants, this trade fair organized by Lin Xiuya was indeed extraordinary. The Flower Sect's Hua Li and the mysterious master and servant they had encountered that day were clearly there for this trade fair.
When Xiao Yan and his group arrived at Lin Xiuya's medicine shop, Lin Xiuya and his gang members were already waiting. However, Xiao Yan noticed that Lin Xiuya's expression wasn't particularly pleasant. Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Lin Xiuya still smiled with impeccable manners and greeted him warmly, "Young Master, the trade fair is about to begin. Please come in!"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Senior, as the host, coming to pick me up personally is a bit too formal."
Lin Xiuya smiled helplessly and pointed to the sky: "What kind of master am I? At most, I'm just here to put on a show."
Judging from the lineup of this trade fair, there are probably more than one or two Dou Zun powerhouses. Lin Xiuyai is merely a peak Dou Huang. No matter how strong his talent is, a Dou Huang is absolutely not qualified to participate in a trade of this level. Therefore, there is only one possibility for the Cliff Gang, led by Lin Xiuyai, to have such influence: there is an even more powerful force behind him that does not want to show itself, so it needs to rely on Lin Xiuyai and his Cliff Gang.
Xiao Yan had already anticipated this, so he wasn't particularly shocked. While that's what he said, Lin Xiuyai's excellence was beyond question. Leaving aside his age and strength, just the fact that he could stand before such a prominent figure was something that ordinary people couldn't easily achieve!
For Xiao Yan, the bigger the trade fair, the better, since he really wanted to get some good stuff from it!
