Eternal madness

Chapter 222 Dou Zun Zi Yan
dong dong dong~
"Teacher, are you there? Teacher?" Nalan Yanran asked from outside Yun Yun's room.

Yunyun opened the door and saw Nalan Yanran with red eyes.

"What's wrong, Yanran?" Yunyun led Nalan Yanran into the house. Although Yunyun already had a child, she still liked this disciple very much and did not mistreat her. On the contrary, she doted on her.

"Teacher, why, why did Xiao Yan lose his talent for cultivation? Why did you do this to him? Is it because his talent angered the heavens?" Nalan Yanran asked tremulously, her eyes red.

"Sigh~ Xiao Yan has not lost his talent. This is a test for him. Yanran, I know you care about him. This matter is also good for Xiao Yan. He has grown and his mind has become stronger. A strong mind is a prerequisite for becoming a strong person."

This is what Xiao Li said: Xiao Yan has great potential, but if he is not guided, he is prone to going astray. It has been almost three years, and that's about it. Xiao Yan will soar to great heights after that.

"You must also cultivate diligently. If he surpasses you too much in cultivation, you will inevitably suffer from his temper in the future." Yun Yun rubbed Nalan Yanran's head.

"It's good that he's alright. I was originally thinking that if he continued to fall into this state, I would go to his home to break off the engagement and force him to get back on his feet!" Nalan Yanran said, wiping away her tears.

Yun Yun was also shocked by Nalan Yanran's outrageous remarks, and then flicked Nalan Yanran's forehead in annoyance.

"Ouch!" Nalan Yanran cried out in pain and squatted down.

"Coming to annul an engagement is the most egregious and humiliating thing to do in the Dou Qi Continent. Do you want the Xiao family to be looked down upon by the entire Jia Ma Empire? The Xiao family has treated you very well," Yun Yun said irritably.

Nalan Yanran held her head and said, "I just came up with this bad idea on a whim. I plan to use my reputation to cheer Xiao Yan up."

Yun Yun sighed: "Don't think about these things next time, okay?"

"understood."

"Yanran, focus on your cultivation and keep a close eye on your fiancé, understand?" Yun Yun said slowly.

"Huh? Why is that?" Nalan Yanran asked in confusion.

“Outstanding men are most likely to attract women! Someone with such exceptional talent as Xiao Yan will certainly have no shortage of female admirers in the future. Just look at the Xiao family, Xiao Xun'er is one of your rivals in love.”

"But there's nothing to worry about. You're engaged to Xiao Yan. Your teacher might not be able to make Xiao Yan devoted to you, but at least making you Xiao Yan's legal wife is something we can try." Yun Yun sighed.

"Um, is it really that exaggerated?" Nalan Yanran was still a bit young and didn't understand these things.

"You'll understand in time. Go back and rest well, and work hard to cultivate. Only with sufficient cultivation can you protect what you want to protect."

"Yes, Yanran understands."

Three years later,
Secluded chamber,

Xiao Li emerged from the secret chamber and stretched his body: "Sigh~ It's really slow to advance at the Half-Saint level. But I have gained some things. My Dou Di bloodline has grown a lot stronger, but unfortunately it's not very useful at the Dou Sheng level."

Xiao Li opened the secret chamber, and what greeted him was a small purple dot that gradually grew larger, finally bursting open with a bang—

"Pfft~"

Xiao Li arched his back, feeling as if his stomach acid was about to come up.

"Zi! Yan!!!" A loud shout made Zi Yan, who felt she had done something wrong, immediately cover her head and run away.

"Run! You're still running! Where are you going?" Xiao Li grabbed Zi Yan by the back of the neck and lifted her up.

"Huh? It's gotten heavier?" Xiao Li felt that the weight was wrong.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Li realized that she had grown up completely and looked like a mature woman. Her mature aura gave her a bewitching charm. Her long, smooth purple hair cascaded down to her pert buttocks. The curves of her figure and her exaggerated curves were even more impressive than those of the Pei sisters!
"Are you Ziyan?" Xiao Li looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, contrasting her with the little girl in his mind.

"What do you mean! Grandma has passed the growth period. I am now an adult Ancient Dragon of the Void. Please put Grandma down!" Although Zi Yan has grown up, she still has the mentality of a child and wants to scratch Xiao Li.

Xiao Li pinched Zi Yan's pretty face: "Still messing around with me? You almost killed me! Why do you like hitting me so much?"

Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and said, "Sigh~ You're talking nonsense again. My head still hurts. Even if I reach the eighth level, I still can't knock you over!"

Xiao Li rubbed his stomach and then looked Zi Yan up and down: "Indeed, you've reached the eighth rank, which is equivalent to a two-star Dou Zun. Not bad, not bad. How many of the Purple Dragon Qi-Nourishing Pills I gave you have?"

"Finished."

"What? You finished eating? Are you kidding me? You ate six Purple Dragon Qi-Nourishing Pills that had undergone the Five-Colored Pill Lightning, and you're only at the Second Star Dou Zun level? Is your stomach a bottomless pit?" Xiao Li touched Zi Yan's stomach and said incredulously.

"How would I know? But Xiao Li, I've been having a strange dream lately. In the dream, there's a huge stone gate with four characters on it, but I can only make out two of them: 'cave dwelling.'"

There seemed to be some creature guarding the stone gate, with purple-gold scales like mine. It was probably an ancient dragon from the Void, and it often cried out things like "My child, my child," and I felt something strange about that voice.

Zi Yan told Xiao Li about the strange things that had happened these past few days, because in her eyes, Xiao Li was the only person she trusted.

"Stone gate? Cave? I think I understand. Zi Yan, did you see something after you broke through to Dou Zun?" Xiao Li asked.

"It seems so. Xiao Li, uh, could that dragon be my family?" Zi Yan's voice was a little low, but she still mustered up the courage to say it.

If Zi Yan has any worries, her family and blood relatives are her biggest worries. She was bullied by various magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range outside Canaan Academy after she came out of her egg, until she ate the Transformation Grass and was brought back to Canaan Academy by Su Qian.

Ziyan sometimes wondered if her parents had abandoned her, or if they didn't want her anymore.

“It should be. The one that can make you sense something is definitely your family.” Xiao Li said, patting Zi Yan’s head.

"Then, why did he leave me? Did he want to abandon me?" Zi Yan asked, her eyes red.

Xiao Li shook his head: "No parent in the world would abandon their child unless they were a beast. I believe your parents must have had their reasons."

Zi Yan choked up and couldn't answer, but her hand was clutching the hem of Xiao Li's clothes.

"I'll go find him for you and have your family explain things to you personally. Since you were found near Canaan Academy, go there and see the Grand Elder while you're at it." Xiao Li gently patted Zi Yan's head.

Although Ziyan is now about the same height as him.

"Thank you, Xiao Li." Zi Yan hugged Xiao Li tightly.

Xiao Li felt an extremely powerful pressure pressing down on his chest, and this feeling was quite nice.
