Hearing Yan Shi Fei’s answer, Xiao Yun understood that even despite facing death, this young woman was not willing to marry that Qiu Yu Chen. However, she still felt quite conflicted, as it would be difficult for her to go against her parents’ commands. It would not be so easy to do as she wanted.

After all, these were her parents who had raised her for many years!

Seeing how sad and helpless the young woman looked, a serious look appeared in Xiao Yun’s eyes as he became extremely resolute. He looked at Yan Shi Fei as he asked, “Big sister Shi Fei, do you trust me?”

“Of course I trust you.” Yan Shi Fei paused in surprise, wondering why the youth had asked this question. Seeing how earnest the youth looked, she didn’t ask anything and instead waited for him to continue to speak. She knew that there was definitely something important that he wanted to say.

“If you trust me, I can promise you that in future, I’ll definitely be able to get rid of all the poison in your body,” Xiao Yun said seriously. “Isn’t it just an antidote pill? In the future, I’ll be able to give you one as well, so that you don’t have to continue suffering from this poison.”

“You little fellow, do you really need to be so serious?” Seeing how sincere Xiao Yun looked, Yan Shi Fei felt some emotions stirring within her as she smiled. She looked at the youth as she tucked some hair behind her ear, with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes.

“Of course I need to be serious,” Xiao Yun smiled as he raised his eyebrows. “I don’t want big sister Shi Fei to marry that Qiu Yu Chen fellow.”

“What does big sister marrying him have to do with you?” Yan Shi Fei’s eyes narrowed into a strange smile as she looked at the youth with a slight hint of teasing. Her eyes were beautiful and charming, and could make anyone feel as if their soul was being stolen.

“Of course it concerns me, because I want big sister Shi Fei for myself,” Xiao Yun said as he passionately looked at the young woman. How could he allow such a beautiful and kind young woman to be someone else’s? He simply couldn’t allow this.

“You little imp. You’re still little but so cheeky already.”

Yan Shi Fei smiled as a warm feeling rose within her heart. She blinked as she stretched out her jade-like hand, tapping the youth on his forehead, then twisted her snake-like hips and walked deeper into the room.

“I’m not little anymore.” Xiao Yun felt quite dissatisfied upon hearing Yan Shi Fei calling him this. He wanted to prove to this incredibly enchanting demoness that he wasn’t a little boy anymore. However, it was evident that winning her heart wouldn’t be so easy.

Luckily, he now had quite a few things working his way.

“After I learn Pill Refining and get rid of the poison within big sister’s body, I’ll see if you can still look down on me.” Xiao Yun thought of the condescending way Madam Yan had spoken to him, feeling quite resentful as he gripped his hands into fists.

“What are you spacing out for?” Seeing that Xiao Yun hadn’t moved and was staring at her with a look of determination in his eyes, Yan Shi Fei rolled her eyes and said, “Could it be that you want big sister to die from this poison?”

“Haha, how could I allow big sister to die from the poison?” Xiao Yun chuckled as he followed the young woman in.

Yan Shi Fei’s poison was becoming more and more serious. Luckily, Xiao Yun’s Martial Spirit had been enhanced, and could extract poison much faster. This was the benefit of his Martial Spirit being enhanced. As well as this, the process was not as strenuous on Xiao Yun.

“Eh, your extraction speed has become much faster again!” After less than an hour, Yan Shi Fei could already feel her mind becoming clear and the pores on her body opening up again. She felt no more discomfort, which made her feel quite surprised.

Xiao Yun quickly transferred the poison into his Martial Spirit without being affected by it at all. When Yan Shi Fei turned to look at the youth, she found that he was dreamily looking at her.

“You little brat. What are you looking at?” Yan Shi Fei could feel her cheeks turning red under the youth’s gaze.

Xiao Yun continued to look at the young woman beside him with a dreamy expression as he said, “Big sister Shi Fei, you’re so beautiful. Don’t marry someone else, alright?”

“If big sister doesn’t marry someone else, who’s going to protect me?” Yan Shi Fei smiled as she replied.

“Me, of course!” Xiao Yun’s eyes narrowed into a smile as he continued, “If big sister is willing, I can protect you for your entire life.”

“You?” Yan Shi Fei rolled her eyes, “Say it to me when you’re older.”

“I’m old enough already, alright?” Xiao Yun felt quite frustrated that he was being looked down on and said, “Do you want me to prove it to you now?”

Xiao Yun felt quite helpless. This big sister Shi Fei had always viewed him as a child. However, in the Moonwind Kingdom, he really wasn’t young anymore.

Looking at how wronged Xiao Yun looked, Yan Shi Fei didn’t dare to provoke him anymore.

“Don’t, my parents are outside.” Yan Shi Fei hurriedly dodged away, her heart beating rapidly and looking quite flustered. Even her ears were red. She realised that this youth had truly grown up, and couldn’t be teased like that anymore.

Otherwise, it was possible that he would ‘carry out the law’ on the spot!

Thinking to there, a red glow appeared on her beautiful face, making her look even more bewitching.

“Haha, let’s see if you dare to call me a brat anymore,” Xiao Yun said as he chuckled.

“No way, our Xiao Yun is already a man. I’ll have to change the way I talk to you.” Yan Shi Fei’s beautiful eyes blinked as she laughed. The two of them talked and laughed on the bed, like a pair of lovers.

“Then, can I pursue big sister Shi Fei?” Xiao Yun asked as he smiled.

“This…” Yan Shi Fei pursed her lips, unsure of what to say. She didn’t think that the youth would be so daring – was he confessing to her? However, she did not feel disgusted or annoyed and instead, a sweet feeling blossomed within her heart.

Seeing how tense the young woman looked, Xiao Yun felt quite mischievous. “Big sister Shi Fei, it’s settled down: I’ll be chasing you from now on.”

“You rotten fellow.”

Yan Shi Fei instantly felt quite embarrassed and furiously retorted.

“Haha,” Xiao Yun chuckled as he got off the bed to put on his shoes.

Yan Shi Fei also got off the bed and looked at the youth with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

“Big sister Shi Fei, what’s wrong?” Xiao Yun couldn’t help but ask when he saw the worried expression on Yan Shi Fei’s face.

Yan Shi Fei didn’t say anything, and instead looked outside, maintaining her anxious expression.

“Is it because of that Qiu Yu Chen?” Xiao Yun asked as he frowned.

“Mm,” Yan Shi Fei nodded. “He’s a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect, and has a prominent background. My mother wants me to marry him and even if I’m not plagued by the poison, it’s still difficult for me to decide who I marry.”

Xiao Yun fell into silence, understanding what she was trying to say. If he truly wanted to pursue her, he also had to overcome this problem!

“Don’t worry about him; he’s just a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect,” Xiao Yun spoke coldly. “I’ll definitely become stronger than him and will prove myself to your parents. That way, they won’t force you to marry that Qiu Yu Chen anymore.”

“Really?” A hazy look appeared in Yan Shi Fei’s eyes, as well as a trace of hopefulness. How wonderful would it be for that to happen!

“Mm, do you want to leave with me?” Xiao Yun asked earnestly as he looked at the young woman.

With Yan Shi Fei’s parents forcing her to marry that Qiu Yu Chen, Xiao Yun could not feel at ease. What if she gave in to her parents while he wasn’t here? Or what if she would rather die than give in and did something silly?

Regardless, Xiao Yun did not want to see any of those situations happen.

Seeing how sincere Xiao Yun looked, Yan Shi Fei stared in surprise, her beautiful eyes unblinking. At the same time, the events over the past two years surfaced in her heart.

When she had been at the lowest point in her life, with no one there to help, this youth had stayed by her side. Apart from him, who else would treat her in such a way? Thinking to there, she found that the youth’s figure had long since been imprinted on her soul.

“Alright, I’ll leave with you!” Yan Shi Fei pursed her lips as she made an incredible resolution.

“Don’t worry, big sister Shi Fei. I’ll definitely protect you!” Xiao Yun was extremely excited and felt a sense of duty, a sense of manly duty.

Since he had said this, he definitely needed to follow through with it. This young woman was willing to entrust herself to Xiao Yun; how could he let her down?

“Big sister trusts you.” Yan Shi Fei’s beautiful eyes blinked as she gave him a deep look. She had never doubted this youth’s abilities before. How could any normal youth bring back someone who was determined by everyone to die?

Seeing how much Yan Shi Fei trusted him, Xiao Yun felt quite emotional. There were very few people who would believe in him, even when he was at the lowest point in his life. Evidently, Yan Shi Fei was one of those people. This sort of affection was something he would never be able to forget about.

“Let’s go.” Xiao Yun took in a deep breath and stretched out his hand, holding the young woman’s hand tightly.

At this moment, Yan Shi Fei’s parents were still worriedly waiting outside in the courtyard.

“Hmph, every time big brother Xiao Yun goes to extract poison, he’s always in there alone with big sis. There’s definitely something between them.” Yan Shi Yan pouted as she wrinkled her nose, looking quite displeased. Her watery eyes continuously blinked, as she thought, “Could it be that big sis likes big brother Xiao Yun too? No way – she’s older than him by 2 years.”

Just as Yan Shi Yan frowned and grumbled to herself, the bedroom door was opened. Following this, a young man and young woman walked out together.

“Big sis.” Seeing that Yan Shi Fei’s complexion looked healthy again and that she was slowly walking over, Yan Shi Yan felt much better. Her big sister was finally willing to come out of her room again.

However, she found that her big sister’s fingers were interlocked with the youth’s, in an extremely affectionate manner. Yan Shi Yan frowned as her cute little face darkened. “Hmph, I knew there was something going on between them.”

Of course, the person who was the most shocked was Madam Yan. Hadn’t she just asked this youth to help convince her daughter for her? And now, in the blink of an eye, this youth had become so affectionate with her daughter.

“This brat.” Madam Yan quietly gave a cold harrumph, her face turning green.

“Fei’Er, it’s good that you’ve come out.” Duke Yan also gave a slight frown, but he was able to stay calm and quickly settled his emotions. A smile appeared on his face as he walked towards his daughter – to him, the best news was that his daughter’s poison had been suppressed.

“Father, mother.” Yan Shi Fei’s tone was quite cold as she greeted her parents.

“Fei’Er, what are you doing?” Madam Yan’s gaze turned cold as she stared at the young woman’s hand.

At this moment, she was still holding hands with the youth, which was incredibly shocking and confusing.

“I’m leaving with him!” Yan Shi Fei spoke resolutely, ignoring the questioning tone in Madam Yan’s voice.
