226: My senior brother's smile is so handsome!

Shen Min thought for a moment, as if having made a decision, a depressed look suddenly appeared on his face, and his mouth twitched.

"Hahahahaha, Old Ghost Shen, you really dare, I'm dying of laughter!" Old Man Tianji couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Look at mine..."

"Hello, old friend, want to meet?"

"Meet your mother, scram for this Emperor!"

Old Man Tianji was stunned on the spot when he heard the cold voice, looking innocent.

No!

It's not my fault, is it?

Why are you scolding me?

I'm not the scumbag!

"Two Seniors, is something the matter?" Xiao Qinger asked for the third time.

Old Man Tianji waved his hand and said with an awkward smile, "It's nothing, nothing..."

"Then Junior will take her leave first!"

Xiao Qinger saw Zuo Wuhen walk out and respectfully cup his hands towards her, realizing that Senior Brother had finished his business, and was already eager to go in.

In the main hall.

Xiao Qinger walked nervously on the fiery red ground, and took a deep breath when she saw the White-robed Figure on the main seat.

"Whew...!"

"Xiao Qinger, what are you so nervous about!"

"Isn't this your Senior Brother!"

"It hasn't been that long since you last met, what are you afraid of!!"

"You should talk to Senior Brother about what's happened during this time, catch up, why are you acting so distant!"

She cheered herself on in her heart, but when Shen Nian's gaze fell on her, the words Xiao Qinger had prepared for a long time got stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken, only feeling extremely guilty.

It was all because of her that Senior Brother couldn't get any peace, and even traveled so far for her!

"What, you haven't seen me for such a short time and you can't speak anymore?"

"Come closer, if you stand so far away and talk, even if you're not tired, I am."

Shen Nian looked at her, and seeing her nervous appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle playfully.

His three Junior Sisters all had different personalities. Xiao Qinger seemed calm but was actually like a girl next door, showing him the most respect. Xia Youyue was like a sensible daughter from a good family, with her own strong opinions. As for the last one, Shen Nian didn't know much about her yet, but he could tell she was the only one not afraid of him.

"Senior Brother... I" Xiao Qinger's nose tingled, and her eyes reddened as she called out, taking a few steps to stand in front of Shen Nian.

"Stop!"

"Hold it!"

Shen Nian made a stopping gesture. He really wasn't used to seeing women cry. If outsiders saw it, they would think he had done something to Xiao Qinger.

"Sniffle sniffle..." Xiao Qinger obediently tilted her head back, holding back her tears.

However, this action made her less nervous. She then hesitated for a moment and took out a Medicinal Pill.

"Senior Brother, Qinger has kept her promise. This six-pattern ancient demon pill is Qinger's birthday gift for Senior Brother..."

Shen Nian took the six-pattern ancient demon pill and rolled it in his hand, looking at the lifelike patterns on it. It also contained a trace of Divine Phoenix aura, which should be the effect of Xiao Qinger's drop of true blood.

"Senior Brother, Qinger can only refine six-pattern ones now, please don't dislike it..."

She knew Shen Nian's identity: the Young Clan Leader of the Shen Family, and now the Human Emperor of the entire Human Race. If he spoke, even the Alchemists of the Pill Pagoda would desperately refine pills for him; wanting a Dao-harmonizing Medicinal Pill was just a word away.

As Shen Nian turned his head, he noticed the blood-red demon mark on Xiao Qinger's hand. He then gazed at Xiao Qinger and asked, "Do you think Senior Brother is strict with you?"

"Ah?" Xiao Qinger was stunned, not expecting Senior Brother to suddenly blurt out such a sentence. But seeing Shen Nian's serious expression, she also answered solemnly, "Qinger still remembers everything Senior Brother said. Senior Brother's strictness is all to help me grow quickly, Qinger understands."

"In Qinger's opinion, Senior Brother's strictness is truly for my own good!"

"Before, Qinger thought reaching Golden Core was enough to protect the Xiao Family, but after coming to the Upper Realm, I realized how vast the world is. So Qinger thinks Senior Brother can actually be a little stricter with Qinger!"

There was a determined look in her eyes when she said this. After Fentian Holy Land, she clearly understood how vast the gap was between the Upper and Lower Realms, yet even so, the Human Race was still no match for the Yao Race. One could imagine how terrifying the enemy was!

Within her Divine Soul, the Female Yan Emperor, who had been coldly closing her eyes, twitched her lips.

"Heh, this girl really dares to speak. Are the intensity of the tasks he set not enough?"

"If it weren't for your good luck, I wouldn't know how you would have completed them."

"But from the results, the growth rate is indeed astonishing. If it were according to her plan, Xiao Qinger would probably still be lingering in Foundation Establishment..."

"Under great pressure, miracles will surely appear. This statement is not false..."

After hearing Xiao Qinger's words, Shen Nian put the Medicinal Pill into his cangtian token, found a place to put it away, then reached out and pinched Xiao Qinger's face, smiling with narrowed eyes for the first time, "Thank you, Senior Brother likes the gift very much, you did very well this time!"

At this moment, Xiao Qinger felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The feeling of her face being gently pinched was fleeting. In her eyes, there was only that handsome face, like an exiled immortal, smiling with narrowed eyes, and she was instantly captivated.

Senior Brother is praising me... Senior Brother actually looks so handsome when he smiles!

Oh no, oh no!

Help, how can he be so handsome!

At this moment, she had forgotten that Shen Nian had thanked her, her mind somewhat blank.

"Alas..." The Female Yan Emperor sighed helplessly, her golden eyes sweeping over the white-robed face, and she was somewhat surprised.

To think he would have such a gentle side... Looking at it this way, it's truly hard for any woman in this world to resist him. Whether it's talent, state of mind, background, personality, or appearance, he is truly perfect!

"Alright, stop daydreaming. Since you gave Senior Brother a gift, I naturally won't be stingy."

"Tell me, is there anything you want?"

Shen Nian spoke softly. His action wasn't for preaching value, but simply to give Xiao Qinger a gift from the heart, as encouragement.

"A gift!" Xiao Qinger was a little surprised when she came back to her senses. She originally wanted to refuse, but the Female Yan Emperor's voice also rang out.

"Girl, you'd better think carefully. Your Senior Brother is the contemporary Human Emperor, and has the background of the Shen Family. In the Five Domains, there's nothing he wants that he can't get. I think you should ask for another type of exotic flame. That way, you can improve your strength a lot, and also raise the grade of the Flame God Art."

"Don't worry, a single exotic flame is nothing to him, it won't be too excessive," the Female Yan Emperor said thoughtfully.

With Shen Nian's current power, finding an exotic flame wasn't difficult, but if Xiao Qinger relied on herself, who knew how long it would take.

"Empress, I understand."

After hearing Xiao Qinger's words, the Female Yan Emperor was somewhat relieved, but upon hearing Xiao Qinger's tone, her mouth twitched slightly, and she even wanted to rush out and ask.

What exactly are you listening to?

Is this what you mean by 'understand'???

Are you really so eager to throw yourself away, so impatient??

"Senior Brother, can it really be anything?" Xiao Qinger bit her red lips and asked somewhat shyly.

Shen Nian raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit bewildered by her appearance.

What does this girl want?

Why is she shy?

However, since he had already said it, Shen Nian naturally wouldn't retract his words. He then said, "Tell me, as long as Senior Brother can do it."
