Tender as water Jiang Lanzhi; Xiao Fan: I had a dream

“Is it good-looking?”

Xin Xi paused, then smiled sweetly and said, “Saint, do you have any ideas?”

Xiao Fan denied, “No, I’m just curious what the Saint Lord looks like.”

Xin Xi didn't expose him, but affirmed:

“She is good-looking, but she’s an old woman of ten thousand years, and her temper is a bit strange.”

“Oh, is that so.”

Xiao Fan thought to himself, if a woman has a bad temper and cannot change, then forget it, it's not absolutely necessary.

Bah, bah, bah, I haven't even become a disciple yet, and I'm already thinking about seducing my master, I'm truly a beast!

With Xin Xi’s problem resolved, Xiao Fan was in a great mood; at least he wouldn't repeat Cheng Ge's fate of being beheaded and having his blood spilled.

“Saint, do you need me to do anything?” Xin Xi asked.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fan said,

“Just go outside and say that I’ve woken up, and then bring me back to the Saint Child Palace. It’s not convenient for me to act here.”

Xin Xi nodded obediently and said, “As you command.”

Xiao Fan wisely lay down, and Xin Xi, following his command, picked him up. Everything was going according to plan.

Walking out of the hall, Xin Xi’s gaze towards Jiang Lanzhi had changed somewhat; at least there wasn't as much hostility.

Instead, it was the look of an older sister at her younger sister: you came later, so in terms of seniority, you're after me.

She spoke, “I have already awakened the Saint. You may all leave; I will take care of him.”

Jiang Lanzhi was startled by these words, and her hanging heart finally settled.

Looking at Xiao Fan lying in Xin Xi’s arms, Jiang Lanzhi felt a trace of nervousness. Did this woman also have feelings for Xiao Fan?

Before she could speak, Xin Xi took him back.

Jiang Lanzhi also followed, arriving at the Saint Child Palace.

Before leaving, Xiao Fan whispered a few words to Xin Xi, telling her to remember them.

Xin Xi was somewhat shocked, but when he said there would be no problem, and that as long as she cooperated, she would be the most important woman in the Saint’s heart.

There's no other way; the heavens are vast, but the Saint is the greatest. Even if he punishes me with bed service, I would not hesitate!

Xin Xi withdrew, allowing Jiang Lanzhi to enter the room.

Jiang Lanzhi rushed to Xiao Fan’s bed, looking at him, who was recovering from a serious illness, with a gentle smile on her face.

“You’re awake,” she said softly, in a tenderness she had never shown before.

She began to check Xiao Fan’s injuries, and was surprised to find that his entire body was perfectly intact.

Where was the wound on his chest? Had it healed already?

But it was only for a moment; perhaps he had encountered a fortuitous opportunity.

“You’ve come,” Xiao Fan said, propping himself up.

“Mm,” Jiang Lanzhi supported him with one hand, displaying an unprecedented shyness and gentleness.

Xiao Fan spoke in a relaxed tone, as if having survived a great calamity, “I almost thought I'd die in there and never come out again.”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” she said, covering Xiao Fan’s mouth with her jade hand, a hint of anger in her tone.

Xiao Fan, however, gripped her hand tightly, gently pressing it against his cheek, and said with a tender gaze, “I almost thought I’d never see you again.”

This sudden confession caught Jiang Lanzhi off guard. She didn't know whether to withdraw her hand or leave it there.

Her face burned. She had never experienced such a confession and was so stunned that she couldn't utter a single word.

Xiao Fan seized the opportunity and took out the demon core he had obtained.

The enormous demon core flew out of the Storage Ring, quietly suspended before their eyes, its vital essence so rich that it overflowed.

“The thing you wanted, I brought it for you.”

“An engagement gift, for you.”

He spoke these words in an almost doting tone, coupled with his haggard face and eyes full of deep affection.

Jiang Lanzhi’s heart fluttered intensely. This was the feeling; he had returned.

“Your being alive is the best gift,” Jiang Lanzhi said, her eyes brimming with tears, as she buried herself in Xiao Fan’s embrace.

The warm sensation made her feel very comfortable leaning against him. She had never felt such peace of mind. She admitted that even if she were Reborn, she would still repeat the same mistakes.

Looking at Jiang Lanzhi, whose pretty face was flushed with spring and whose eyes were filled with deep affection, Xiao Fan understood that his plan was half successful.

He caressed Jiang Lanzhi’s delicate face, smiling awkwardly, indicating that he didn't understand women.

I am a pure young man; it’s perfectly reasonable that I don’t understand women, right?

“Haha, I just thought you’d like it, so I brought it over to give to you. I didn’t think too much about it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lanzhi was even more moved. Just because I like it, is it worth risking your life?

A moment of intense emotion.

Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Xiao Fan.

Though very shy, she forced herself to meet his gaze.

Her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes, her red lips slightly parted and inviting. She actively leaned towards Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan could see that all of Jiang Lanzhi's love in her heart gave her the courage to make this bold move.

He responded gently, lightly cupping her flower-like jade face, softly taking the sweet nectar. He felt as if he were in a honey pot, sweet and sticky.

Jiang Lanzhi was a bit clumsy; she had never had such an experience with anyone, and her awkwardness only fueled Xiao Fan's desire to conquer, as he incessantly teased her clitoris.

As expected of the Empress of Unfeeling, her learning ability was strong. From initial awkwardness to naturalness, and then to taking the initiative, she learned it all in just one go.

She craved this feeling, this tender affection. Her entire being felt so comfortable that her soul seemed to fly out of her body, as if she was about to break, yet she refused to let go. She wanted to possess this man.

Jiang Lanzhi’s breathing grew heavier and heavier. Xiao Fan gently pushed her away, and she exhaled like an orchid.

Although cultivators would not suffocate, if she were to faint like this, it wouldn't be fun anymore.

The two separated, but crystal threads connected them, as if a lotus root had been broken but its fibers remained connected.

This brought Jiang Lanzhi back to her senses, her beautiful face becoming even more flushed and radiant, her light brows like autumn water, her jade skin accompanied by a gentle breeze.

“You’re too impatient, aren’t you?” Xiao Fan chuckled.

This made Jiang Lanzhi even more mortified. How could this guy not understand her feelings?

Seeing her lower her head, Xiao Fan gently lifted her perfect, jade-like face and lightly pecked her cherry lips.

He said, “I’ll tell you a secret.”

Jiang Lanzhi’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, and she whispered,

“Tell me.”

Xiao Fan began his old routine: deceiving women! He made things up, but before that, he first heightened her emotions to cloud her mind.

He gently embraced Jiang Lanzhi, holding the beautiful, jade-like woman in his arms, his warm palm lightly caressing her face.

Jiang Lanzhi responded with lingering affection, also holding him tightly.

Xiao Fan lowered his head slightly, lightly touching her forehead, then ran his hand through her beautiful hair, letting it slide down to gently caress her jade back.

Jiang Lanzhi felt as if her entire being was melting. If only time could be frozen forever at this moment.

Xiao Fan saw her close her peach-blossom eyes, occasionally adjusting her body to make them fit closer. He knew the time was almost right.

“I had a dream,” he began, a hint of sadness in his voice.

Jiang Lanzhi, with her jade-like face pressed against his chest, looked up slightly at Xiao Fan, not quite understanding what he meant. Her pretty face, besides amorousness, also held some confusion.

“Is this dream very important?”

“It’s just not as important as you are.” The scumbag’s lines came out effortlessly. Xiao Fan didn’t know if this was a side effect of deceiving too many women.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lanzhi’s face flushed, her cheeks glowing like a shy Fairy.

“You always tease me.” She lightly tapped Xiao Fan’s chest with a cute, playful punch, but it was very gentle, more like a spoiled gesture.

Xiao Fan immediately cried out in pain, and she instantly started, looking at him uneasily. Seeing that he was just pretending, her pretty face feigned anger again, and they playfully bickered like lovers in the throes of passion.

She had never imagined she would exhibit such a delicate, womanly demeanor. If there was a shoulder to lean on, who would willingly be the Empress of Unfeeling!

Xiao Fan also put away his smile, smoothed her dark hair, and gazing into the distance, he spoke softly,

“I had a dream. In the dream, I was like a walking corpse, and I dug out your heart.”

As he spoke, he unconsciously shed two lines of clear tears, his eyes filled with fear, afraid that the dream would become reality.

At the same time, there was a sense of calm acceptance, as if facing death. A thousand emotions intertwined within him, but the most obvious was the unbreakable, undeniable tenderness in his eyes for Jiang Lanzhi, that kind of love that wished for eternal togetherness.

Jiang Lanzhi’s body stiffened slightly. She slowly looked up at his complex eyes, and a warm tear fell onto her face, giving her a sense of unreality.

She clearly remembered that in the Demon Mother Nest, when that demon pierced her heart, he still forced a smile for her, so strong and gentle.

He clearly wasn't afraid of death!

At this moment, Xiao Fan actually shed sad tears. He…

As if she had connected some dots, Jiang Lanzhi’s beautiful eyes showed shock and unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

Recalling her experiences in her previous life, had he really been harmed by someone?

She didn't think about herself, but began to worry about Xiao Fan. She felt that her previous life had been orchestrated by someone.

And Xiao Fan was the biggest victim!

It seemed she was about to pierce through everything behind the scenes!

You didn’t expect me to come so early today, did you?
