Chapter 14: Metamorphosis
"That...... Girl, I'm ......."
After Yao Lao finished speaking, Xiao Yan looked at the figure sitting on the edge of the bed.
This is probably the so-called dependency.
Before that mysterious girl appeared beside her, even Xun'er was by Xiao Yan's side, but she only maintained a lukewarm attitude to maintain that fragile relationship.
But it was the person in front of her who seemed to be completely different from herself, not as bright as the sun to illuminate the darkness, but more like a bright moon at night, which accidentally passed through the clouds and windows, and sprinkled a little bit of silver frost in the dim room.
Although for the moon, the moonlight sprinkled is just an unintentional willow.
It's not a very fleshy relationship, it's just that in the more than half a year of getting along, Xiao Yan has almost become accustomed to the existence of Miss Wan, and if there is something he feels tricky, or a problem, he always thinks of her involuntarily.
Of course, Xiao Yan also knows that this is not good, but the subtle subconscious is always contrary to the subjective consciousness.
"Well, I see, do you want gold coins or medicinal herbs?"
Yao Wan nodded lightly, she didn't care, it was better to say that if she could use the resources at hand to help Xiao Yan become stronger quickly, it would not be a bad thing for her.
“…… Gold coins, if you pay it back in the future, it's a little more convenient. ”
For the sake of the only self-esteem he had in Miss Wan, Xiao Yan chose a somewhat troublesome approach.
"Coins, okay, how much should I lend you?"
Yao Wan couldn't see Xiao Yan's thoughts, although he had been supporting others for half a year, Xiao Yan was not the kind of waste person who liked to lie flat after all, and more than two years of silence made him desperate to try his best to become stronger.
It's just that although Xiao Yan doesn't mention it on weekdays, Yao Wan also knows that all of his efforts to him in the past half a year are all in his heart, and he didn't mention it in the past just because he didn't have the ability to repay him, but now he has rekindled the hope of rising, and with that confidence burning again after half a year, Xiao Yan's self-esteem naturally exists.
Knowing kindness and repaying it is human nature.
Although he can't measure other people or beasts with such high requirements, Xiao Yan undoubtedly really thinks so.
So naturally she didn't have much to explain, so let him go.
"100,000 gold coins, is it enough?"
Yao Wan's fingertips brushed over the ring, and then he took out a storage bag, pulled it open a little, and he could see a flash of golden light that was enough to dazzle his eyes.
No matter how tenacious Xiao Yan is, when he heard Miss Wan say a number that made his heart skip a beat, he couldn't help but feel the urge to bow down to the rich woman's feet.
"Enough, absolutely enough."
"Miss Wan, just wait for my good news."
After saying that, Xiao Yan didn't have the face to continue to stay here, so he turned around and ran away.
"What's wrong? Only 100,000 gold coins scared you kid? ”
"Teacher ......"
Xiao Yan exhaled tiredly and said, "I suddenly don't want to work hard." ”
"Oh."
Yao Lao comprehended: "Then go, I won't stop you." ”
"Wait, at this time, teacher, you shouldn't teach me that I should be down-to-earth in everything I cultivate, right?"
"Stupid, you are too pedantic, there is a young, talented and powerful girl to escort you, what more can you ask for."
Yao Lao couldn't help but say.
"Huh?"
Xiao Yan probably never imagined in his life that he would be called pedantic by someone of Yao Lao's age.
"Hmph, the kid is too young to know the benefits......"
Yao Lao subconsciously stroked his beard and teased.
Xiao Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, and if he didn't say it, he didn't say it, and he started the riddler here again-
Forget it, I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow to buy medicinal herbs, and then hurry up to improve my cultivation.
Overnight, the problem of not being able to gather the fighting spirit that had plagued him for more than two years was solved, and because of this, he worshipped an alchemist who was full of praise even for the girl, and he also had a new goal for the future, which can be said to be a reborn change for Xiao Yan.
After all, even if Miss Wan has been telling him for half a year, he is not in a hurry, but how can Xiao Yan himself not be in a hurry? When it comes to his future, he has no choice but to suppress his temperament and wait for the time to come.
And now it seems that it is indeed not in vain.
If it weren't for the fact that he was in the Xiao family in the dead of night at this moment, Xiao Yan even wanted to shout to vent his difficulties and confusion for more than two days and nights.
"Hehe, stinky boy, the sea and sky that belong to you have just begun."
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan who walked out of the small courtyard of the guest room, and smiled with satisfaction, in the past two years or so, he has not just absorbed Xiao Yan's fighting spirit and recovered himself.
He was naturally also observing what the temperament of this young man who was just talented enough to become an alchemist was.
Yao Lao attaches far more importance to Xiao Yan's temperament than his talent, after all, he has already suffered a big loss in this regard, so naturally he doesn't want to eat it a second time.
And after more than two years of observation, I have to say that he is very satisfied.
Especially after that girl came to Xiao's house, Xiao Yan's performance made him unable to find any fault, which made him make up his mind and decided to show up.
"Huh? Someone came, and I went in first. ”
Suddenly, Yao Lao sensed something and told Xiao Yan, and his illusory body burrowed into the ring of Xiao Yan's fingertips.
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, it's all this time, who else will have nothing to do outside?
As a result, before he could make any more guesses, a shadow came like a butterfly.
"What's wrong with Brother Xiao Yan? Is something good happening lately? ”
Under the moonlight, Xiao Xun'er was like an elf, her graceful posture drew a seductive arc, her toes were slightly on the ground, and she leaned her head slightly, looking at the young man in front of her who seemed to be a little different from before.
Something he had lost was gradually coming back to him.
"It's a good thing...... Kaoru. ”
Xiao Yan looked at the girl in front of him who was becoming more and more beautiful day by day, with a faint smile on his face, but he subconsciously muttered at the end, wanting to stop talking.
"As long as Brother Xiao Yan cheers up."
Xun'er didn't know what Xiao Yan's elm head contained, seeing his expression, the intentional alienation and loneliness in the past also disappeared as the two looked at each other and smiled.
“…… By the way, Brother Xiao Yan, tomorrow, can you take me to visit Utan City? It's been a long time since we've been out and about. ”
