After Hai Bodong left, Chen Yang turned to look at Xiao Yixian, who seemed about to speak several times, and smiled as he beckoned to her.
Xiao Yixian pouted as she sat on Chen Yang's lap, her eyes darting around. She bit her lip and played with Chen Yang's long hair, her little thoughts impossible to hide.
"You're curious… who is Ya Fei, right?" Chen Yang asked Xiao Yixian with a smile.
"…Hmm!" Xiao Yixian hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly nodded.
"She's my woman, just like you," Chen Yang said frankly.
"Oh…" Upon hearing Chen Yang's accurate answer, Xiao Yixian felt a pang of sadness, but her initial anxiety subsided.
Sometimes people get caught up in things they're unsure about, but once they're certain, they feel much more at ease.
Slap! Chen Yang reached out and gently slapped Xiao Yixian's back mound, and a blush immediately rose on the girl's cheeks.
"Husband…" A sweet voice came from Xiao Yixian's red lips. The pretty girl with a rosy face swayed her slender waist, making Chen Yang's mouth water.
"Let's eat!" Chen Yang picked up Xiao Yixian and carried her into the house.
"Sigh… aren't we eating?" Xiao Yixian looked in the opposite direction and patted Chen Yang's back with her little hand.
"You're just food…"
...
After cycling back and forth twice, the bitterness in Xiao Yixian's heart was completely replaced by the soreness in her body.
"Husband, could… could you tell me about… Sister Ya Fei?" After resting for a while and taking some poison to recover, Xiao Yixian asked. "Can you tell me about that… Sister Ya Fei?"
"She… is a demon…" Chen Yang objectively explained Ya Fei's general situation to Xiao Yixian.
Although this was a fantasy world set in ancient times, and even had a bit of a Western fantasy flavor, it was very normal for men, especially powerful men, to have multiple wives and concubines. However, when Chen Yang talked about Ya Fei, he still introduced her in a descriptive way, without adding much personal emotion.
"Her talent for cultivation is average. When I left Wutan City, she had just broken through to the 7-Star Dou Shi level. At most, she's a Great Dou Master these days!" Chen Yang said.
"I… I'm only a Great Dou Master too!" Xiao Yixian muttered, feeling that she was inferior to that girl named Ya Fei in every way.
"You need to slow down your cultivation now, solidify your foundation, and prepare for devouring the Netherworld Poison Flame." Chen Yang reached out and touched the back of the somewhat disappointed Xiao Yixian. He had to admit that the delicate feel of her skin was really nice. "Once you devour the Netherworld Poison Flame and completely resolve the predicament of the Woeful Poison Body, you will probably be able to become a Dou Zong powerhouse in three years."
Chen Yang's statement was a conservative estimate.
In the original storyline, it was only a little over five years between Xiao Yixian leaving Qingshan Town and Xiao Yan breaking through to Dou Huang. Even without the Netherworld Poison Flame, Xiao Yixian had already become a Dou Zong. So this time…
"I'm not jealous… I just feel that if I'm too weak and can't help my husband, I'll be very sad." Xiao Yixian muttered, but her earlobes gradually turned red because Chen Yang's hands were getting a little restless.
"Ya Fei isn't good at cultivation; she's good at business and management. In the future, a large part of our family's affairs will be handled by her," Chen Yang said, hugging Xiao Yixian tightly.
"Then… I will strive to become stronger and fight alongside my husband," Xiao Yixian said.
"Okay, but what if I get hungry again?" Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yixian with a teasing expression.
"Please, my husband… please, my husband, close your eyes…"
...
As the saying goes, the world's population has decreased because the population has increased.
Chen Yang understood this at that moment.
And so, the night passed, and early the next morning, Chen Yang sensed two powerful auras leaving Mo City.
One headed west, while the other continued east!
After getting up, Chen Yang and Xiao Yixian tidied themselves up and then took the Amethyst Winged Lion King and his son straight to Stone Desert City.
On the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Yixian sat cross-legged, absorbing the medicinal power of the poison pill she had eaten that morning.
Last night's cycling trip allowed her to successfully break through to the 4-Star Great Dou Master level, a remarkable feat.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't fly very fast, and the scenery of the Tagor Desert was fully visible to the two people and two beasts.
After watching for a while, Chen Yang felt a little bored, so he lay down on Xiao Yixian's lap, closed his eyes, and pretended to doze off.
"Husband… besides Sister Ya Fei, do I have any other sisters?" Xiao Yixian suddenly asked.
"You'll know when you meet him!" Chen Yang replied with his eyes still closed.
"Oh!" Xiao Yixian puffed out her cheeks, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face. However, after two and a half minutes, she regained her happy expression, and was even happier than before.
"What are you laughing at?" Although Chen Yang didn't open his eyes, he could clearly sense the changes in Xiao Yixian's emotions.
"They may have met their husbands before me, but I'm the only one who can stay by his side."
"Moreover, for a long time to come, only I will be able to accompany you, my husband!"
Xiao Yixian smiled sweetly, overjoyed.
"Hahaha…"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang laughed heartily, agreeing with Xiao Yixian's assessment.
"Whee…"
...
Even though the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew slowly, it arrived at Stone Desert City around noon.
Compared to Mo City, Stone Desert City was much smaller.
This was a mercenary city similar in nature to Qingshan Town. The city was composed of a large number of mercenary groups of all sizes, which made up this small city near the territory of the Snake-People. It was much more prosperous than Qingshan Town.
After entering the city, the men and women on the streets dressed more openly than in Mo City, but Xiao Yixian had gotten used to it after following Chen Yang for the past few days.
To avoid any embarrassing situations, Chen Yang revealed a trace of the aura of a Great Dou Master and smoothly arrived at the entrance of the Sand Mercenary Group before concealing his aura.
"Kid, this is the Sand Mercenary Group. Don't just wander around here. Get out of here!" A burly man with a knife at the door looked at Chen Yang and said impatiently.
"Xiao Yixian, in the Dou Qi Continent, what happens if someone offends an alchemist?" Chen Yang looked at the burly man in front of him and asked Xiao Yixian with a smile.
"If he's willing to apologize and the alchemist accepts it, then that's fine. But if the alchemist doesn't accept it…" Xiao Yixian didn't know what Chen Yang was planning, but she still cooperated with him.
"The leader of this Sand Mercenary Group is also a Great Dou Master. It shouldn't be a problem for you to practice with him, right?" Chen Yang continued, looking at Xiao Yixian.
"This…" Xiao Yixian hesitated. Why would she kill the leader of a mercenary group for no reason?
"This Sand Mercenary Group has committed numerous evils and is a menace if left alive. It's better to get rid of them sooner rather than later!" Chen Yang didn't know much about whether the Sand Mercenary Group committed evils or not, but there was no doubt that they secretly served as lackeys for the Mo Family.
And the Mo Family…
These were items that needed to be cleaned up every morning and evening.
"I understand!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian did not hesitate any longer. She raised her hand, took out a longsword from her storage ring, and with one stroke, she slit the neck of the big man in front of her!
"Go keep an eye on them!" Chen Yang kicked the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the butt as he watched Xiao Yixian charge into the Sand Mercenary Group.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King understood and flew inside in a flash, joining Xiao Yixian in helping.
...
The battle between the Sand Mercenary Group was unlikely to end anytime soon, so Chen Yang, bored, stood idly at the entrance of the Sand Mercenary Group's headquarters.
Suddenly, the little Amethyst Winged Lion King breathed sharply at a figure huddled in a corner in the distance, and showed a wary expression.
"Stop fooling around!"
Chen Yang kicked the little Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the little lion whimpered and hid behind Chen Yang.
The figure in the corner glanced at the little Amethyst Winged Lion King, then at Chen Yang, and got up and walked timidly to Chen Yang.
"Little sister, is there something you need?" Chen Yang asked with a smile, looking at the little girl who was dressed in tattered clothes.
"Sir… please… please come closer!" The little girl's voice was clear but weak, clearly indicating that she hadn't eaten properly for a long time.
Chen Yang moved closer out of curiosity, wanting to see what this little girl was up to.
Seeing Chen Yang bend down, the little girl glanced timidly at the little lion and whispered in Chen Yang's ear. "Sir, your cat is a Magical Beast in disguise, you… you have to be careful…"
Chen Yang was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at the girl with some curiosity and then saw a few green scales on her exposed wrist!
'This is?
Green Scales?!'
"I… I'm sorry… I…" Qing Lin followed Chen Yang's gaze, her already unhealthy face instantly turned deathly pale, and she trembled as she backed away.
Looking at Qing Lin, who was still a homeless girl, Chen Yang called out to her. "Stop!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin froze in fear.
"Come here!" Looking at the silly-looking Qing Lin, Chen Yang had a mischievous urge and called out to Qing Lin again.
"I… I…" Qing Lin didn't step forward, but instead continued to back away. She was a little… a little scared…
