Chapter 116: Qing Tan's Departure
"Hey, haven't you had enough hugging?" Zi Yan said, interrupting the moment.
Hearing Zi Yan's voice, Qing Lin stuck out her tongue and said to Xiao Tian, "Brother Xiao Tian, don't be fooled by Sister Zi Yan's cool demeanor; she missed you a lot too."
Then she moved out of Xiao Tian's embrace and said to Zi Yan, "Sister Zi Yan, I've made room for you. Go ahead and hug Brother Xiao Tian."
"Is that true, Zi Yan?" Xiao Tian asked with a smile.
"Hmph!" Zi Yan rolled her eyes. "I didn't miss you at all. It's just that without you here, no one was making me any pills, so I complained a bit."
"But that night..." Qing Lin began, but Zi Yan immediately shot her a fierce glare, threatening, "If you say one more word, I'll eat you up."
"Uh! Qing Lin doesn't know anything. Please don't eat me, Sister Zi Yan!" Qing Lin was genuinely scared.
"Haha!" Xiao Tian laughed and then said to Zi Yan, "Now that I'm back, I can make pills for you every day."
Then, looking around, he asked, "By the way, where's Qing Tan? I haven't seen her."
"Sister Qing Tan has been disappearing a lot lately!" Qing Lin said. "But every time she comes back, her cultivation improves significantly."
"Oh?" Xiao Tian thought to himself, "Could it be that the Dark Palace Master from the Northern Profound Region has arrived?"
He remembered in the original story, since Lin Dong didn't take Qing Tan away, she left with the Dark Palace Master.
Xiao Tian pondered, "Going with him might be good for her. The techniques there are more suitable for her, and she can also obtain the Darkness Ancestral Symbol!"
...
At night, there was a knock on Xiao Tian's door.
Opening it, he saw a young girl in elegant green clothes. She had a slender and graceful figure, fair skin, light brows, and eyes like clear water that seemed to make the world lose its color with her every glance.
This beautiful and poised young girl was, of course, Qing Tan.
"Brother Xiao Tian, Qing Tan missed you so much!" Upon seeing Xiao Tian, Qing Tan immediately threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.
"Qing Tan, I missed you too..." Xiao Tian began to say, but Qing Tan's smiling face approached, her lips sealing his words with a kiss.
In that moment, Xiao Tian's mind was filled with thoughts of "soft and sweet."
However, Xiao Tian wasn't one to remain passive. Qing Tan, with half-closed eyes and a blush on her cheeks, wrapped her arms around Xiao Tian's neck.
"Bang!" As they moved around, changing locations, the door somehow closed. Under the candlelight, their shadows were cast on the wall, showing a shapely figure with a slender waist and long legs. Despite being a young girl, her figure was more enticing than that of mature women.
Xiao Tian swallowed and praised, "Qing Tan, you're so beautiful!"
"Hehe!" Qing Tan laughed happily, a fragrant breeze wafting over. Her alluring body leaned into his arms, making Xiao Tian's head spin.
...
"Plink, plonk, plink, plonk..." Nearby, the sound of a zither could be heard from a brothel.
...
The sunlight pierced through the room, driving away the darkness. Two people sleeping in the same bed will often change positions. From "日" to "臼," then from "臼" to "羽," and finally becoming "非."
Wearing a light blue dudou, Qing Tan clung tightly to Xiao Tian's waist, her long, shapely legs entwined with his. A sweet smile adorned her lips.
Xiao Tian, however, frowned lightly.
"Mmm~" Qing Tan stirred awake. Seeing Xiao Tian in her arms, her face filled with happiness. Xiao Tian opened his eyes, seeing the blissful expression on Qing Tan's face.
"Don't you want to sleep a bit more?" he asked.
"Nope~" Qing Tan shook her head, kissing Xiao Tian on the forehead. She laughed, "Hehe, Qing Tan is finally Brother Xiao Tian's woman."
Xiao Tian gently stroked her hair and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to give yourself to me? Are you leaving?"
"Brother Xiao Tian guessed right!" Qing Tan's mood dropped instantly. "Although I don't want to leave you, Brother Xiao Tian, I want to keep up with you. Only then can I always be by your side."
"You don't have to do this," Xiao Tian said with a smile. "With my cultivation speed, it won't be long before I become one of the world's strongest. Then we can always be together."
"But I don't want to always rely on you," Qing Tan said softly. "Brother Xiao Tian, you won't be mad at me, will you?"
"Of course not," Xiao Tian replied. "Whatever decision you make, I'll support you."
"You're so good to me!" Qing Tan laughed and then rolled on top of Xiao Tian...
They spent three blissful days together before Qing Tan left without saying goodbye. She was afraid that a tearful farewell would make her reluctant to leave.
After leaving Yan City, Qing Tan opened the Qiankun Bag that Xiao Tian had given her. Inside, there was nothing but the purified Blood Spirit Puppet.
"Wow, your little lover really cares about you, giving you a Nirvana Realm puppet," an old man beside Qing Tan remarked with a laugh. "Just this puppet alone is enough to sweep through the Great Yan Dynasty. Your little lover is quite generous."
"Brother Xiao Tian!" Qing Tan clenched the Qiankun Bag tightly, her heart filled with warmth from Xiao Tian's precious gift.
