Little Fairy Doctor smiled and said, "Of course I was only referring to Fei Tian! But, Young Master, are you satisfied with my answer?"
Xiao Yan clapped and nodded in agreement, saying, "Perfect answer."
The two exchanged a smile. Xiao Yan gained a deeper understanding of Little Fairy Doctor, someone who could thrive on her own in the Chuyun Empire. She possessed extraordinary talent, but usually kept a low profile.
"Staying by my side would probably overshadow your brilliance," Xiao Yan added.
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor took Xiao Yan's arm with both hands and said, "I don't care about these things, as long as I have you, that's enough!"
Xiao Yan smiled and took Xiao Yixian's slender waist, which was so delicate that it could be encircled by a single hand, and they disappeared into the mountains.
Inside Chen Wei's room, Mu Zier and the others had already left. Only Chen Wei witnessed this last scene, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
The Starfall Pavilion is essentially a space built upon the Tianxing Mountain Range, so there are also mountains within it. Xiao Yan discovered that Little Fairy Doctor knew the way well, leading him to a rather secluded spot in the mountains. Tonight, the Bright Moon Hall was bathed in soft moonlight, creating a serene and beautiful atmosphere. The sound of flowing water accentuated the purity of the moonlight, and the two of them found a crystal-clear mountain stream.
Little Fairy Doctor's goal was clearly here. She took off her shoes and socks and plunged barefoot into the mountain stream. Without any pretense, she casually sat on a large rock, the stream lapping at her fair, jade-like feet. The water flowed gently, and her jade-like feet created ripples, a cool sensation spreading from the soles of her feet.
"Do you come here often?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"There's not much for me to do at Starfall Pavilion, so I often just wander around. I especially like coming here at night."
Then Little Fairy Doctor asked again, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's relaxed demeanor, Xiao Yan followed suit, and indeed, a chill ran down his spine. Xiao Yan sat down next to Little Fairy Doctor, and Little Fairy Doctor moved slightly to give him enough space to sit.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan could sense that the stream was just an ordinary mountain stream, yet it gave him a feeling of relaxation. In just a short while, Xiao Yan felt his soul power relax considerably, and the weakness caused by the battle was somewhat alleviated.
Just then, Xiao Yan noticed that Little Fairy Doctor's jade foot had inadvertently landed on his foot. Then, Little Fairy Doctor gently splashed, and droplets of water splashed up and landed precisely on Xiao Yan's face.
Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan in this state and let out a silvery laugh. When Xiao Yan saw Little Fairy Doctor acting up, he put a little pressure on his feet and squeezed Little Fairy Doctor's legs between them.
Little Fairy Doctor was seriously injured and unable to use her battle qi, so she couldn't break free from Xiao Yan's restraints. She could only look at Xiao Yan pitifully and say, "Young Master, are you bullying me?"
Seeing the Little Fairy Doctor's show of weakness, Xiao Yan smiled and relaxed his stance. Then, with a thought, a point of light slowly formed in front of Xiao Yan. As his soul power continued to pour in, it slowly transformed into a soul clone that looked exactly like Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan could sense that after the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body recovered, it no longer needed to infuse energy again; however, a full recovery would still take some time. If his soul power hadn't relaxed at this moment, he probably wouldn't have been able to complete even the most basic re-condensation. Xiao Yan was still in a weakened state, so recovering some power was already a good thing.
Xiao Yan immediately retrieved a slightly chilling clay puppet from the Yellow Spring Venerable's storage ring, cut his palm, and established a connection between himself and the clay puppet. As the clay puppet's heartbeat became eerily strange, it began to merge directly with his Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body. Xiao Yan greatly admired the ability to transfer injuries, so now that he had the opportunity, he immediately began to reshape his Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, which could transfer damage.
Meanwhile, Little Fairy Doctor, seeing Xiao Yan busy at work, quietly waited to the side without disturbing him. This mountain range belonged to the space where the Starfall Pavilion was located, and there were no wild magical beasts there, so there was no need to worry about Xiao Yan's safety.
The protective array of the Starfall Pavilion had been destroyed by Ice Venerable and his men, so the current defense was provided by a hastily erected array by Chen Wei. Although time was short, Chen Wei's array skills had reached their peak, making the array protecting the Starfall Pavilion extremely powerful. It could even directly enhance the soul power of the person at the core of the array. Chen Wei, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly sensed something and abruptly opened them. A hint of doubt filled his eyes, and the next second, a figure appeared directly in front of him—Ancestor Tianluan, Mu Yaoyin!
Upon recognizing the newcomer, Chen Wei instantly felt at ease. "Ancestor?"
Mu Yaoyin's expression, however, was not good. She spoke first, "You sensed correctly, someone has arrived, and their strength is quite formidable! It's the Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the Starfall Pavilion. Each of them did not leak any aura, but there was a terrifying sense of pressure! A team of Dou Zun!
The group of people were all unusually cautious at this moment, simply because there were two people in front of them!
A figure exceeding five meters in height, far surpassing human proportions, displayed his extraordinary strength. He was Weng Huang, a half-saint of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!
Before Weng Huang stood a gloomy old man, seemingly on his deathbed, yet the occasional glimpse of his eyes sent a chill down one's spine! He was Yinghuang, a one-star Dou Sheng expert from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!
Eagle Phoenix looked down at the Starfall Pavilion, her voice hoarse and filled with murderous intent as she said, "They actually came out! The Heavenly Phoenix Clan really has forgotten the pain of their past wounds!"
A Heavenly Phoenix Clan Dou Zun from behind added, "With an elder leading the way today, it will be the day the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is annihilated!"
……
Within the mountains, Xiao Yan felt the Heart Blood Clay Puppet merge with the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body once again, and at the same time, that strange feeling returned. Xiao Yan knew that this meant he had regained the ability to transfer his injuries.
When Xiao Yan opened his eyes, he saw Little Fairy Doctor who had been protecting him all along. However, before Xiao Yan could speak, a sense of crisis suddenly arose!
Xiao Yan pulled Little Fairy Doctor away. A beam of light grazed past them. Xiao Yan turned around and stared intently at the direction from which the light had come. There, he sensed a familiar aura.
"Xiao Yan, I've come to take your dog's life." A figure emerged from the shadows, his face handsome but with a hint of ferocity. It was Tang Qiying from the Tianluan Clan!
