906. Resolving Inner Conflicts
Hearing Xun'er's sincere praise and affirmation, Little Fairy Doctor was only slightly taken aback, then she and Xun'er smiled at each other, their smiles filled with more emotion than anything else.
"Xun'er is still the best at comforting people. The so-called virtuous wife is just because that's all I can do." Little Fairy Doctor felt the gap between herself and Xun'er's strength, a gap in raw strength that there was no way to cross.
"I've been stuck at the Dou Zun realm for so long. Now, let alone breaking through to Dou Sheng, even reaching the nine-star Dou Zun level is still a long way off. I can't help him relieve too much of the pressure on him, so I can only do what I can here in the rear to protect this home for him."
"Fortunately, there are you and Qinglin. You are strong enough to help him on the battlefield."
"Sometimes I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Xun'er, but deep down I'm selfish too. He's my only love, and my whole heart is tied to him. Of course, I also long for him to pour all his feelings into me, just like the most ordinary couple, one love for life."
At this point, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were filled with deep affection. Her devotion and feelings for Xiao Yan were beyond question.
"But in a place like this Sky Curtain, which is fraught with danger, I can't even imagine how worried I would have been if you hadn't been by his side, helping him through life and death together."
"Sometimes, what I think about isn't anything else, but that I hope you can help him while you're here. He doesn't say much on a normal day, but he's actually been living a very, very hard life."
Xun'er listened quietly, and couldn't help but recall the time when Xiao Yan faced the many geniuses and elders of the ancient clan alone. At that time, she was unconscious and unaware of everything. Even now, thinking of that scene still made her feel sorry for Xiao Yan.
"Yes..." Xun'er's voice was tinged with a barely perceptible sob, and her eyes were filled with even more tears. "He has endured so many hardships, and every step he took was so difficult."
"So this time, no matter what happens, you really can't leave again. I can't even imagine what he'll become if you leave." Little Fairy Doctor's tone became incredibly firm, even pleading.
Seeing the Little Fairy Doctor's appearance, Xun'er, who had been holding back her tears, finally couldn't hold them back anymore and they welled up in her eyes.
"Actually... Sister Fairy Doctor, the person I feel most sorry for is you. I'm really worried... Do you feel that my arrival has disrupted your peaceful life with Brother Xiao Yan and Qingqing? Do you feel... that everything has changed?"
"Absolutely not," Little Fairy Doctor said emotionally, pulling Xun'er into her arms. "Believe me, Xun'er, this is your home too. As long as I'm here, you're not allowed to go anywhere else!"
Just as the two were expressing their true feelings and enjoying an unprecedentedly harmonious moment, the knocking on the door sounded again.
"Xun'er, are you there?" The person who arrived was Xiao Yan, whom the two women in the room had been longing for.
Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly appeared, and the two women exchanged a knowing glance and smiled knowingly.
Xun'er cleared her throat, her voice tinged with barely suppressed laughter: "Brother Xiao Yan, I'm here, but you're not allowed to come in now!"
Standing at the door, Xiao Yan was also somewhat puzzled by this answer. However, Xiao Yan was extremely familiar with Xun'er, and hearing this tone, he knew that Xun'er's emotions were quite normal at the moment; on the contrary, she was relaxed and even a little happy.
As for why he wasn't allowed in? Xiao Yan helplessly rubbed his nose. Women's thoughts could indeed be hard to fathom, especially when they were together. Oh well, since Xun'er said it was fine and that he couldn't come in for the time being, then so be it.
After all, besides Xun'er, there was another person who specifically named him and said they wanted to see him.
Xiao Yan went to Wei Jiangyuan's room. Although he had just returned, Xiao Yan already knew that Wei Jiangyuan and his junior sister Yao Qingyu had gone to the ruins of a Dou Sheng and gained a lot. They must have something important to say.
However, just as Xiao Yan reached the outer perimeter of Wei Jiangyuan's elegant courtyard, an unexpected figure stood outside the tightly closed door, like a door god.
It was Lei Jingxiao! He stood with his arms crossed, his brows slightly furrowed, his face showing obvious displeasure and frustration. He stood ramrod straight, but his feet seemed rooted to the spot, and he didn't move an inch.
"Xiao Lei? What are you doing here?" Xiao Yan was also a little curious. He knew Lei Jingxiao's personality, and this didn't seem like he was admiring the moon.
Lei Jingxiao turned around upon hearing the voice, saw it was Xiao Yan, and said with a mix of helplessness and resentment, "Big brother, I'm thanking that guy surnamed Wei!"
"Thank you?" Xiao Yan was both amused and exasperated by his answer. He looked him up and down, finding it hard to associate the word "thank you" with his bitter and resentful appearance.
"Oh? How... how are you going to express your gratitude?" he asked with interest.
Lei Jingxiao pursed his lips and explained in a low voice, "That guy... had a stroke of incredible luck in the Dou Sheng Ruins, actually finding a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit! Big brother, you probably don't know, but that thing is an extremely important and bloodline-altering treasure for the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, it's incredibly precious!"
"Then, the guy surnamed Wei actually showed some loyalty and sent it to Zi Yan in my name. I couldn't just take such a big advantage of him for nothing, so I said I had to thank him and he could name his terms. And then this guy actually made me, a dignified Dou Sheng powerhouse, guard his door for a whole month!"
Seeing Lei Jingxiao standing blankly at Wei Jiangyuan's door, Xiao Yan burst out laughing, momentarily speechless.
However, upon hearing the commotion outside, Wei Jiangyuan took the initiative to go out and said, "Wow, Xiao Lei is quite serious, I approve! This protection from a Dou Sheng level expert is definitely worthwhile!"
"As you should know, alchemists are generally quite fragile. To obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, I risked offending the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. It's entirely possible that they might suddenly launch a sneak attack to seek revenge. It's perfectly reasonable for you to stand guard and protect me for a while."
As Wei Jiangyuan spoke, he winked and teased Lei Jingxiao. Lei Jingxiao was usually alright, but once he made up his mind, he wouldn't easily change it. If he said he wanted to thank him, then he truly stood earnestly at his door.
"I know, with me here, no one can touch you!" Lei Jingxiao replied, but everyone knew that there was no risk in Starfall Pavilion now, and Wei Jiangyuan was just teasing him.
