"I'm not happy," she declared with determination on her little face. "I like you and I'm going to marry you!"
Su Han responded helplessly, "You like me? Just because I saved you once, you like me?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Yuran tilted her head and thought for a moment, then added, "Maybe it's because you saved me, but it might also be love at first sight. If it's the latter, I would have liked you even if you hadn't saved me."
"You talk as if it's true..." Su Han muttered.
"What this miss says is true, hmph!"
"Let's talk about this later."
Su Han waved his hand; he really wasn't in the mood to talk about love and relationships just after being reborn.
"Hey, Little Su Han, in terms of age, you are two years younger than my sister and a year younger than me. You should be calling me 'sister'!" Xiao Yuran hurriedly said as she saw Su Han starting to leave.
"Alright then, my Sister Yuran, please hurry home and stop blocking my way, okay?" Su Han said.
"But... but now that you're so impressive, there will definitely be many girls who like you. If I don't seize the opportunity, you'll never marry me!" Xiao Yuran said in a delicate voice.
Su Han was completely exasperated by Xiao Yuran's naive nature. Could she be any more naive?
Xiao Yuran really was someone who spoke whatever was on her mind without any consideration.
"Whether I marry you or not has nothing to do with how impressive I am." Su Han shook his head.
"How can it not matter? I can't cultivate, and you will definitely become even more powerful as time goes on. The gap between us will just keep growing..." Xiao Yuran said as her big eyes began to moisten.
"Are you actually crying?"
Looking at Xiao Yuran's pitiful appearance, Su Han completely believed her.
If Xiao Yuran were as overbearing as Xiao Yuhui, forcing him to marry her, then Su Han would have definitely turned her down without a second thought.
But Xiao Yuran's personality was completely different from Xiao Yuhui's; seeing Xiao Yuran looking as if she were in tears, Su Han almost felt like he had done something wrong.
"I'll help you with your cultivation," Su Han suddenly said.
Xiao Yuran stared, then shaking her little head, said, "I was born unable to cultivate. I don't even have a Dragon Vein, making me the trash they always look down on. Not even the strongest person on the Dragon Martial Continent could help me."
"The strongest person on the Dragon Martial Continent? He's nothing!"
Su Han scoffed, "It's true that you don't have a Dragon Vein, but your constitution is much stronger than those people on the Dragon Martial Continent. If we can awaken your constitution, you'll leap straight past the Dragon Vein Realm and reach the Dragon Blood Realm!"
"Really?"
Xiao Yuran's eyes widened, "Little Su Han, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"My name is Su Han, not 'Little Su Han,'" Su Han said, rolling his eyes.
"Hehe, Little Su Han, you are indeed a year younger than me. If you really can help me awaken that very, very, very strong constitution, I'll marry you!" Xiao Yuran chuckled.
She desired to cultivate too, but she didn't really believe Su Han's words; she thought he was just trying to comfort her.
Therefore, Xiao Yuran repeated 'very' three times, making Su Han want to throw her 10,000 meters away.
"Here's what we'll do."
Su Han thought for a moment and said, "Go back home and ask the Xiao Family to find four items for you: the Flower of the Demon Spirit, Morning Dew of the Holy, Ice Heart, and Blood of the Flood Dragon."
In reality, given Xiao Yuran's constitution, these four items were still somewhat inadequate.
But there was no helping it; those were the conditions on the Dragon Martial Continent. They would make do for now, and once Xiao Yuran reached the peak of her strength on the Dragon Martial Continent and left it, they would find even stronger items to help her awaken anew.
"What are all these things?" Xiao Yuran blinked her big eyes, having never heard of them before.
"These things can help you stimulate your physique. Then you'll believe what I said," Su Han said.
"Real or not, Sister will reward you first!"
Xiao Yuran ran up to Su Han, and in his widened eyes, her soft cherry lips pressed directly onto Su Han's lips.
A faint fragrance came from the lips. Xiao Yuran, like a dragonfly skimming the water, moved her lips away before Su Han could even react, her cheeks flushed.
"Damn, you this..." Su Han simply couldn't describe how he felt at that moment.
The mighty Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, to be kissed by a girl...
Kissed!!!
"Anyway, I like you, and I'm only going to marry you. I must be the first girl to kiss you, right? You have to take responsibility for me," Xiao Yuran said, lifting her little head.
"Take your responsibility, my ass. It was you who kissed me, okay?" Su Han rolled his eyes.
"I don't care."
Xiao Yuran stood firm, her little hands behind her back, hopping away toward the distance.
"Little Su Han, Sister won't bother you anymore. Those four things you talked about, I'll try hard to find them, but you also have to keep an eye out for me, after all, I, Xiao Yuran, am your wife!"
Her lively voice grew fainter. Su Han watched Xiao Yuran's pretty figure departing and could only shake his head in resignation.
...
The efficiency of Myriad Treasures Pavilion was indeed fast. When Su Han returned to the Su Family, Myriad Treasures Pavilion had already delivered all the materials he purchased, directly to Su Han's room.
Many in the Su Family saw this scene and thought Su Han had stolen the Su Family's property to buy the materials. After reporting it, people checked but found nothing missing.
Clearly, it was Su Han's own money.
As for this matter, Su Han had anticipated it but didn't care.
"With so many materials, I have enough to refine for a few days."
After considering for a moment, Su Han didn't rush to use these materials but took out the ten bottles of pills.
"I'll use these pills for cultivation first. Only by opening more meridians can my Dragon Qi be sufficient to use up all these materials."
...
Meanwhile, in the great hall of the Lin Family in Yuanshan County among the Four Great Families, an extremely gloomy atmosphere was spreading.
"Heng'er, my son!!!"
Lin Family Patriarch Lin Chengsong's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the body of Lin Heng being carried back, the intense killing intent and chill not hidden at all but bursting forth from him.
"Who? Who?!!!" Lin Chengsong roared.
"It, it was Su Han."
Someone spoke up, one of the entourage previously guarding Lin Heng.
His scalp was somewhat numb, considering Su Han had killed Lin Heng right in front of him and the others. Lin Heng's death was partly their fault for not protecting him well.
"Su Han?"
Lin Chengsong suddenly turned his head, looking at the speaker: "A cripple who can't cultivate managed to kill Heng'er? Then what were you doing? Why didn't you go die!!!"
