Give me another hug

Su Yiyun was utterly shocked by his claim of being low-key.

Above the sky, Uncle Jiang was leading a precious wooden carriage pulled by four Ice Flame Dragon Horses, all of which were at the Nascent Soul Stage - Late Phase.

Their entire bodies radiated a cold, eerie blue ice flame, and each Dragon Horse was vigorous and majestic, exuding a powerful Aura.

The Ice Flame Dragon Horse, rumored to be the offspring of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and a Blue Flame Heavenly Horse, is a noble Bloodline within the Yao Race, with each one being incredibly precious.

Su Yiyun remembered that her family's Soul Transformation Old Ancestor's mount was merely a mixed-blood Ice Flame Dragon Horse, yet it was extremely valuable.

These four looked to have pure Bloodline; how many Spirit Stones would it take to buy them? No, this was beyond what Spirit Stones could measure.

The Ice Flame Dragon Horse Race cherishes its kind. Previously, a Combination Stage Cultivator enslaved a Golden Core Stage Ice Flame Dragon Horse for his disciple to use as a mount, which looked incredibly imposing.

As a result, when the Ice Flame Dragon Horse Race learned of this, that Combination Stage Cultivator was annihilated the very next day.

His Divine Soul was scattered, leaving no possibility of survival.

The grade of that precious carriage was also not low; the wood used was actually made from Thousand-Year White Jade Bamboo. Thousand-Year White Jade Bamboo is a valuable Material used for Artifact Refining White Jade Swords.

This carriage was also very large, three zhang square and one zhang seven chi high, with its entire body refined from White Jade Bamboo. How much White Jade Bamboo must have been used?

She said fearfully, "Why don't you be a bit more low-key? Let's switch to another one."

She didn't want to be annihilated by the Ice Flame Dragon Horse Race!

Xiao Fan frowned. This was already the most ordinary of his eighteen personal carriages.

To be honest, the purple-gold carriage pulled by the Nine-Headed Purple-Winged Qilin last time was only average.

He even had carriages pulled by Body Integration Yao Beasts, but they were too high-profile, so he didn't want to use them.

"This is already the most low-key one," Xiao Fan said.

Uncle Jiang arrived before them at this moment, parked the carriage, opened the door of the White Jade carriage, and respectfully said, "We can depart now, Young Lord."

Xiao Fan nodded and said to Su Yiyun, "Let's go."

After speaking, he ascended into the air and slowly entered the White Jade carriage.

Only Su Yiyun remained rooted to the spot, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Xiao Fan was puzzled, what was this guy afraid of? Could I really do something to her?

Even if I really wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't use coercive methods. I prefer you to come to me willingly, hehehehe...

"Are you going or not? Or do you want me to tell the Holy Lord about that matter?"

Su Yiyun said hesitantly, "Um, is there anything even more low-key?"

"No," Xiao Fan said indifferently.

"Then, how about we don't use a mount and just go directly?" she pleaded.

"Uncle Jiang, please bring her up." Xiao Fan didn't want to waste more words with her. How could flying through the air be as comfortable as riding a mount?

"Yes."

Uncle Jiang waved his hand, stirring up a gentle breeze. The next second, Su Yiyun involuntarily floated up and flew towards the White Jade carriage.

Su Yiyun could no longer hold back. She shouted, "Xiao Fan, you can't do this! Your mount is an Ice Flame Dragon Horse, an Ice Flame Dragon Horse!"

"If the Ice Flame Dragon Horse Race finds out you're enslaving their kin, we'll all be in danger!"

Xiao Fan was stunned: "Danger? What danger?"

Su Yiyun explained the reason, recounting the tragic death of the Combination Stage Cultivator who enslaved an Ice Flame Dragon Horse.

She was still traumatized!

Xiao Fan was bewildered and looked at Uncle Jiang: "Did such a thing happen?"

It seemed that their family had even slaughtered a Mahayana Ice Flame Dragon Horse before, treating it as food. Xiao Fan's father had even eaten a skewer of roasted Dragon Horse kidney, and the Old Ancestor also joined in the fun, eating a piece of Dragon Horse penis. Xiao Fan was still young at the time and only ate a skewer of roasted Dragon Horse meat.

Why didn't the Ice Flame Dragon Horse Race come for revenge?

Uncle Jiang respectfully said, "How would this subordinate know about such a minor matter?"

"However, the Ice Flame Dragon Horse Race's revenge is indeed true. When the Young Lord was born, the Family Head was overjoyed. To prepare this carriage for the Young Lord, he did indeed capture a few Ice Flame Dragon Horses from over there. Someone from the other side also came for revenge, but they were killed by the Family Head."

There was such a thing?

Xiao Fan truly didn't know.

Wait!

Xiao Fan thought of something. He said, "That Mahayana Dragon Horse, it couldn't have been the one my father killed, could it?"

Uncle Jiang replied, "Yes, Young Lord. The Dragon Horse essence blood you used for Body Tempering was extracted by the Family Head from that Mahayana Dragon Horse."

"This subordinate also gained some benefits from it and has a strong impression of the matter."

So that's how it is.

I just knew this life was an absolute heavenly start, born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Listening to the two of them, Su Yiyun felt her brain couldn't keep up. They killed a Mahayana Ice Flame Dragon Horse and even ate it?

What kind of family are you from?!

Xiao Fan said, "Now there's no danger, you can come up, right?"

Only then did Su Yiyun dare to go up, and her impression of Xiao Fan's statement about their mismatch in status became even deeper.

Now she was certain that he was truly toying with her feelings.

However, she still thought too simply of Xiao Fan. What's so fun about playing with feelings? If he were to play, he'd play with her body, hehehehe...

Su Yiyun boarded the White Jade Treasure Carriage, and upon seeing the Immortal Cave within, she couldn't help but gape in astonishment. Spiritual Qi permeated the air, auspicious glow filled the sky, mountains, lakes, forests, grasslands, and endlessly flowing rivers were all complete within this small carriage.

This was no mere carriage; it was clearly a movable Immortal Cave.

She was somewhat cautious, afraid of accidentally damaging something that she wouldn't be able to afford to replace even if she sold herself.

"Won't your father say you're a spendthrift? To actually use such a luxurious mount," Su Yiyun asked, puzzled.

Xiao Fan sat on a stone chair in a pavilion, saying with a half-smile, "Spendthrift? What if I told you this was made for me by him?"

Su Yiyun was momentarily speechless and mumbled, "Your father is really good to you."

"It's alright," Xiao Fan said.

His father's mount was even more outrageous, an Immortal Artifact-grade Imperial Carriage pulled by nine Late Stage Mahayana Five-Clawed Golden Dragons.

He heard it was a gift from an Old Ancestor in the Immortal Realm for the Crown Prince Xiao Fan.

It was taken by his father, who said he was too young to control it, but would definitely return it to him later.

What could Xiao Fan do? It felt like his New Year's red packet being taken by his parents, with the promise of returning it when he grew up. Fathers in the cultivation world are also like this, difficult to deal with.

"Alright?" Su Yiyun suspected this guy was subtly showing off.

In reality, he was truly speaking the truth.

"Your White Jade carriage actually hides an Immortal Cave within, and its level is very high, even more Advanced than those in my family's ancestral Secret Realm. The carriage is also made of Thousand-Year White Jade Bamboo."

"What is the concept of Thousand-Year White Jade Bamboo? This is a Material that can be used to refine Treasure Artifact-grade items!" Su Yiyun said.

"What Thousand-Year White Jade Bamboo?" Xiao Fan was puzzled. These bamboos were clearly cut from the bamboo forest behind their house. Were they very precious?

Su Yiyun was stunned: "You don't know?"

Xiao Fan shook his head, not understanding.

He asked Uncle Jiang, "Uncle Jiang, is that bamboo forest behind our house very precious?"

Uncle Jiang nodded: "It's considered relatively precious."

"She said my Thousand-Year White Jade Bamboo is a good Material for Artifact Refining Treasure Artifacts."

In the Human Realm, the grades of treasures, from low to high, are Mortal Weapon, Magical Artifact, Spiritual Artifact, Treasure Artifact, and Dao Artifact.

Above that, there are Immortal Artifacts.

For refining Treasure Artifacts, this Material seems quite good.

Uncle Jiang said, "This Young Miss is correct, this is indeed Thousand-Year White Jade Bamboo."

Su Yiyun felt a sense of satisfaction at Xiao Fan's ignorance. As expected, he was a rich fool.

"However, these are only nine-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo. The ten-thousand-year-old ones were all cut down by the Master to make rocking chairs. The separate courtyard you have behind the mountain, Young Lord, was built with ten-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo," Uncle Jiang continued.

So that's how it is, Xiao Fan suddenly realized. No wonder that bamboo house looked so good.

Su Yiyun's smile gradually faded as she listened.

This...

Uncle Jiang said, "I was also involved in building the Young Lord's separate courtyard at that time. The Master gave me a few sections of the extra ten-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo. If this Young Miss needs it, this subordinate can give you a section."

"Can I really?" Su Yiyun said excitedly.

If she truly had ten-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo, she could even ask the Holy Land's Artifact Refining Elder to help her refine a Dao Artifact-grade Frost Flame White Jade Sword, which would match her Spiritual Root attribute and Cultivation Technique, greatly increasing her strength!

She looked at Xiao Fan expectantly, because Xiao Fan was the master.

Xiao Fan nodded, if she needed it, just give it to her.

However, there would be a price.

"Sure, give me a hug," Xiao Fan said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Su Yiyun's expression changed.

This guy said the same thing last time about a hug, and then he took her first kiss. This...

She was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Xiao Fan said, "It seems you don't really need it..."

"Stop!" Su Yiyun quickly shouted.

"No problem."

As long as I don't close my eyes this time and stare at him, I won't make a mistake! Su Yiyun thought, everything is under control.

She had already been kissed before, now it's just a hug, it won't cost her anything, and she'll even gain a section of ten-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo. He'll lose out big time, hehe.

Xiao Fan nodded. Uncle Jiang handed Su Yiyun a section of ten-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo, one zhang long and about one-tenth the diameter of a basketball.

"This, this, this..."

"This is what you meant by 'a section'?" In her imagination, this extra section of ten-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo might have been as long as an arm and as thick as two or three fingers.

It was completely different from what she imagined, much better than she could have ever conceived!

It was enough to refine a complete set of White Jade Sword Formation.

Xiao Fan: "Let's go."

Uncle Jiang: "Yes."

Xiao Fan closed the door, used his old trick, opened his arms, and looked at her with a half-smile.

"You're not allowed to be like last time!" Su Yiyun said sternly.

Xiao Fan: "Of course, you're so smart, how could I trick you again?"

Su Yiyun wouldn't believe his words, but she was eating his food and taking his things, so a ten-thousand-year-old White Jade Bamboo in exchange for a hug, no matter how you calculated it, he was losing out.

Thinking this way, she felt it was still acceptable.

This time, she learned her lesson, her eyes vigilantly fixed on him, as if warning him.

Could Xiao Fan indulge her? Don't you know that a man's words are the devil's lies?

Their eyes met. Su Yiyun's face was serious, but being so close, she inevitably blushed.

Such serious shyness was truly alluring.

Suddenly, Su Yiyun's body stiffened, her expression froze, and her eyes widened.

As a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she was powerless before Xiao Fan, and her rosy cheeks were cupped by a pair of warm hands.

It happened again!

Her cherry lips were round and moist, her beautiful eyes serious yet tinged with shyness, her blushing delicate face, a naturally stunning countenance that would mesmerize anyone.

Xiao Fan wasn't a eunuch-type protagonist; I'm a villain, right? It's perfectly reasonable to make the female lead's cherry lips take my shape, right?

"Wuwuwu... Rogue wuwuwu... You said wuwu, you wouldn't lie to me wuwuwu..."

...

"Let go wuwu... Let go quickly wuwu!"

Su Yiyun stomped her feet in anxiety, her hands vigorously slapping Xiao Fan's chest, but hitting his Daoist robe caused no harm, not even pain.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Fan reluctantly left her, leaving a glistening thread in mid-air.

She was so ashamed she wanted to dig a hole and hide.

"Didn't you say it was just a hug?"

Xiao Fan: "A man's words are the devil's lies."

"You, you, don't even think about tricking me again in the future."

Xiao Fan: "Alright, from now on, if I don't ask you and just go for it, it won't count as tricking, right?"

Su Yiyun: ...

She left in a huff, vowing fiercely that if she said another word to this scoundrel, she would, she would break through her Realm on the spot.

She turned her head, moving sharply away from Xiao Fan, clearly drawing a line between them.

Xiao Fan smiled without speaking. In a woman's heart, regardless of whether it's a good impression or a bad one, leaving an impression first is what matters.

He threw ten recording stones to Su Yiyun, letting her taste some sweetness.

Su Yiyun originally didn't want to pay him any mind, but upon seeing these recording stones, she had no choice but to accept them. She would just acknowledge him this one more time!

Her bottom line was slowly being broken through.
