Chapter 100: Restraint and Desire

Xiao Yan carried Yun Zhi and flew back to his own cave, gently placing her on a pile of grass mats atop a large stone.

Yun Zhi, lie down for a while. Ill go get you some water and food.

Mm.

Lying on the grass mats, Yun Zhi nodded lightly, and Xiao Yan then turned and left the cave.

As she watched Xiao Yans figure receding, a glimmer of complex emotions flashed in Yun Zhis beautiful eyes. In just two months since they parted ways, Xiao Yans strength had progressed from a three-star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) to an eight-star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) . He even managed to acquire a flight combat skill from somewhere.

Perhaps it was because of his experiences in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, but the innocence on Xiao Yans face when they first met had quietly disappeared, replaced by maturity in his every movement.

This boy was growing up too fast, in every aspect.

Yun Zhis gaze swept across the cave and caught sight of a medicine cauldron in the corner. Her eyes filled with surprise once more.

Could it be that hes also skilled in alchemy?

At that moment, Yun Zhi suddenly remembered the healing medicine Xiao Yan had fed her earlier. She realized that its healing effect was exceptional, far beyond what one could easily find on the market.

Could it be that he concocted it himself?

Gradually, amazement rose in Yun Zhis heart. In just two short months, Xiao Yan had grown so much.

And this was only the growth she could perceive.

She wondered how much more growth she couldnt see.

Thinking of Xiao Yans original power that already surpassed his peers, Yun Zhi couldnt help but think so.

For her, what other hidden growth could he have?

Outside the cave, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged by the small river. In front of him was a pot of boiling water, and beside it, the grilling rack cooked delicious meat. Xiao Yan himself was staring at the small bottle filled with purple liquid.

Xiao Yan was an idealist. Otherwise, he wouldnt have pursued and advocated righteousness in a world like the Dou Qi Continent, where it was challenging to attain. If he didnt have the persistence in his ideals, he wouldnt have chosen to travel and explore, seeking the undiscovered flaws in his path of righteousness.

In other words, for his pursuit of righteousness, Xiao Yan relied on practical factors to achieve his ideals as much as possible.

However, when it came to Yun Zhi, it was a different matter.

Even if Xiao Yan and Yun Zhi had similar views on life, the differences in their strengths and backgrounds would still lead to different perspectives on various matters. Xiao Yan wouldnt change himself for others, and Yun Zhi most likely wouldnt either.

A marriage without a feasible future would be like a fleeting dream.

Falling into it and losing oneself was undesirable.

Things are fine as they are now.

Hearing Xiao Yans reply, Yao Chen fell silent for a long while and then sighed helplessly.

Xiao Yans greatest strength was his profound self-awareness. He knew exactly what he possessed, what he wanted to do, and what he could do, as well as where his identity and position stood.

Yao Chen was confident that there was probably no one else quite like Xiao Yan in this aspect, possessing such clear self-awareness.

However, at the same time, it was also Xiao Yans biggest flaw.

Perhaps due to his commitment to righteousness, Xiao Yan had an extraordinary ability to restrain himself. Even if he had desires, he would deeply reflect and introspect, thus suppressing the desires that should not have arisen.

This kind of restraint was truly rare.

But little Yan, you must understand one thing.

Yao Chen gazed calmly at Xiao Yan, a trace of a smile in his crimson eyes.

At certain moments, a person should be honest and faithfully fulfill their desires.

Otherwise, youll regret it for the rest of your lifeThe source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
