Chapter 338: Two Girls Conversation
In addition to informing him of his new position, Xuan Kong Zi also arranged a residence for Xiao Ming that was very close to Pill Tower.
In fact, with Xiao Ming's current identity, he could have directly lived in the Pill Tower.
However, since Xiao Ming had Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin with him, Xuan Kong Zi arranged for him an independent courtyard.
After bidding farewell to both of them, he turned and left the room.
...
In the courtyard of the inn, a gentle breeze whispered through the leaves, creating a serene atmosphere that enveloped both Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin as they sat together.
"Sister Xian'er... are you truly fine with Medusa conceiving Young Master's child?" Qing Lin asked, biting her lip.
Xiao Yi Xian's gaze filled with a mix of emotions, "As his partner, I won't unreasonably oppose Xiao Ming's decisions, it's just..." she paused, frustration evident in her voice, "Medusa's haughty attitude, as if she's bestowing a great favor upon him, is difficult for me to tolerate."
In her eyes, there was no man more worthy than Xiao Ming, and it was clear that he was the one doing Medusa a favor by helping her with her soul problem.
If he were to express the slightest interest, countless Dou Ancestors and even Dou Venerate women would willingly conceive a child for him. That was the level of attraction Xiao Ming currently possessed.
Despite this, Medusa carried herself with arrogance, which made her feel unwilling.
"But setting that aside," Xiao Yi Xian continued, "I wouldn't want Xiao Cai to merge its consciousness with Medusa's."
"Moreover, Xiao Ming has always had a keen eye for people. After all, he's the one who brought you, me, and Zi Yan together. So if he believes this is the right path, I will trust him," Xiao Yi Xian concluded, her expression softening with affection.
Xiao Ming had found them and changed their lives forever. Xiao Yi Xian couldn't bear to think about what her life would be like if he hadn't come into it.
"Well... you're right, big sister," Qing Lin pondered her sister's words and eventually agreed.
Xiao Ming had given her a fresh start, a purpose. How could she doubt his decisions?
In truth, Qing Lin didn't question Xiao Ming's choices; she simply felt a tinge of discomfort.
While she and Xiao Ming had grown closer over the past few months, they hadn't yet taken the final step in their relationship. And now, suddenly, a woman had appeared out of nowhere, about to conceive a child for him. It was only natural for Qing Lin to feel uneasy.
Seeing through Qing Lin's thoughts, Xiao Yi Xian wore a mischievous smile and teasingly said, "What about you, little sister? Wouldn't you like to conceive a child for him?"
"A-ah!" When she heard this, Qing Lin involuntarily let out a small squeak. Her eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed red. She fidgeted with her fingers and nervously bit her lip. "I... I haven't really thought about it," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
Xiao Yi Xian chuckled, finding Qing Lin's shyness adorable.
"Hehe, don't be so bashful. In the future, not only will there be Medusa, but Zi Yan will surely return as well. And when she grows up..." Her words trailed off, leaving the rest unsaid, allowing Qing Lin's imagination to fill in the gaps.
Blushing even more, Qing Lin pouted and said, "Sister Xian'er..."
Simultaneously, Qing Lin cast a quick glance at Xiao Ming, looking for his reaction.
Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed him returning her gaze with a warm smile. She buried her face in his chest, overcome by a mixture of happiness and shyness.
"Xian'er, don't tease Qing Lin." Xiao Ming said, tenderly caressing Qing Lin's head, "Let me share something important with you two. In ten days, I will officially assume the role of one of the Eight Great Elders. The Pill Tower has arranged a residence for us, and we will be moving there."
As he spoke, Xiao Ming looked around the courtyard. "By the way, where is Senior Yao?"
"He went out to a trade fair, searching for Beast Flames," Xiao Yi Xian responded.
"Oh? Then let's wait for him to come back," Xiao Ming said. He didn't feel impatient to wait for Venerable Tian Huo but rather understood him.
After all, Venerable Tian Huo himself played with flames, and now that his Heavenly Flame was gone, it was normal for him to pursue something as close to it as the Fake Heavenly Flame.
Xiao Ming then continued to talk to the two girls. Towards the end, he said, "When we move to the new residence, Qing Lin, you can take the Zong Breaking Pill and attempt a breakthrough. I've included three Zong Breaking Pills in the jade bottle I gave you, which should be sufficient."
Qing Lin nodded obediently. Three pills were unnecessary, she only needed a little push to break through.
Turning to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ming continued, "After I officially become one of the Eight Great Elders, I will take you to the Ye Clan to help you master the Woeful Poison Body."
Surprised, Xiao Yi Xian asked, "Haven't I already mastered the Woeful Poison Body? I don't feel any discomfort, and the Nether Poison Flame in my body keeps the toxins under control."
Xiao Ming clarified, "The Nether Poison Flame does indeed control the toxins in your body, but when I speak of 'mastery,' I mean not relying solely on the flame but instead utilizing the Poison Pill Method I mentioned before."
"With your current strength as a nine-star Dou Ancestor, the Poison Pill Method should enable you to break through to the two-star Dou Venerate. And if there's enough residual toxin within the Nether Poison Flame, it's not impossible to even reach the three-star Dou Venerate." Xiao Ming explained, intentionally omitting the possibility that purifying the Nether Poison Flame could grant her the ability to refine pills.
Hearing Xiao Ming's explanation, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes brightened. She had been contemplating how to break through to the Dou Venerate realm, but she hadn't expected Xiao Ming to already have a solution in mind for her.
Overjoyed, she didn't express her gratitude in words but instead leaned forward, pressing her cherry lips against Xiao Ming's, leaving Qing Lin momentarily stunned.
The two eventually split up. Xiao Yi Xian's face was flushed, with tiny beads of sweat on her brow. Her lips were slightly parted, revealing a tender and moist tip that exuded innocence as well as a hint of coquetry.
Xiao Yi Xian licked her lips and cast a meaningful glance at Qing Lin before closing the gap between their faces once more. Their lips met as her hands caressed his chest, igniting a passionate kiss.
Qing Lin caught Xiao Yi Xian's unspoken message, and instantly, her heart raced as her body tingled.
When she noticed that the two of them were parting their lips, she took the initiative to press her body against Xiao Ming's, her voice filled with anticipation and breathlessness.
"Young Master... I-"
Before Qing Lin could finish her sentence, both she and Xiao Yi Xian felt something slipping between them and Xiao Ming, rapidly expanding.
