Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 609: If I keep a secret from you, will you be angry?
What happened afterwards seemed relatively simple and clear.

Xiao Yan and the others were ready to enter the ancient Bodhi tree, and that was all.

Xiao Yan planned to practice his Glazed Body Shaping Technique to the Response Body Realm during this period of time. The ancient Bodhi tree appeared in the Savage Ancient Domain, which was extremely dangerous. Even a semi-saint had to be cautious when entering. Although Xiao Yan was no longer afraid of a semi-saint, he knew that this did not mean that he could do whatever he wanted in the Savage Ancient Domain.

Not long after they discussed countermeasures, Yao Wan also sensed a different feeling coming to her side across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Yao Wan was distracted for a moment, and then a hint of doubt emerged in her eyes. She raised her hand and caught a silent stream of golden light, which remained at her fingertips and turned into ancient characters.

"What is this? Wan'er?"

When Xiao Yan saw this, he couldn't help but ask with a little curiosity.

"There's news from the tribe that the ancient Bodhi tree will appear in the world in a few days. The tribe leader told me not to rush back to the Medicine Clan and waste time, but to set off directly to the Wilderness Ancient Territory. The elders of the Medicine Clan will naturally come to pick us up when we return. He told me not to worry too much and just go for it."

"As for this... this is the Medicine Clan's secret communication technique, which can travel across thousands of mountains and across thousands of rivers. Although you have lived in the Medicine Clan for some time and have some preliminary understanding of the Medicine Clan, you are still a newcomer. I have not taught you many secret techniques like this yet."

Yao Wan did not hide anything in front of Xiao Yan. She just smiled slightly and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you slowly next time when I'm free."

"It's okay for me to learn?"

"You are mine, the son-in-law of the Medicine Clan. Learning some secret techniques does not violate the laws of the Medicine Clan. Besides, who dares to touch you?"

Yao Wan said this with a smile, which caused Xiao Yan to inevitably reveal a faint smile. He said, "I once heard of a term called keeping someone, which means that one person supports another person in a not-so-proper way to maintain the relationship..."

"Oh, you mean I'm like supporting you?"

How could Yao Wan not know what Xiao Yan wanted to say?
With a smile that could not be suppressed on her lips, Yao Wan then propped herself up, stretched out her slender jade fingers, stepped forward and hooked Xiao Yan's chin, her tone becoming more and more smiling: "What do you mean by like? Isn't this just me supporting you?"

"Of course not."

Xiao Yan did not struggle, but shook his head.

"Hmm~~? Why?"

Yao Wan let out a light exclamation and couldn't help but ask.

Yao Wan was not surprised that Xiao Yan denied it. It was just that his male chauvinism started to flare up again. Although Yao Wan felt a little speechless now, she also understood what a man should do, so she was not in a hurry to do anything. She just quietly waited for Xiao Yan's answer.

"So it's just a resemblance - we are a legitimate engaged couple -"

Xiao Yan then took the initiative and put his arms around Yao Wan's slender waist. As he spoke, Yao Wan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if she was quite surprised by Xiao Yan's answer.

"What happened to Wan'er?"

"Ah...nothing."

Yao Wan then calmly moved her gaze away and said, "I thought your answer might be more indifferent, but it turned out to be quite..."

Yao Wan didn't know how to describe it for a moment. It was a bit like a rookie meeting a master, and he was caught off guard.

But on second thought, it seemed to be true... After all, although Xiao Yan and I were most likely the same age when they came to the Douqi Continent, we were not from the same era. The differences and changes in the past ten years could be said to be worlds apart.

Come to think of it... Xiao Yan's ideas seem to be quite conservative?
...No, I guess there's something a little abnormal about me.

Yao Wan has a clear understanding of this point.

"Wan'er, are you thinking about something impolite?"

Xiao Yan looked at the person in his arms who was slightly dazed, and couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

"No - I just suddenly recalled something from a long time ago."

Yao Wan didn't want to lie to Xiao Yan, but she couldn't speak directly. After a lot of hesitation, she could only speak vaguely.

"Something that happened a long time ago? When Wan'er was a child?"

"Roughly the same……"

Yao Wan could even hear how guilty her tone sounded.

Even Yao Wan herself could sense the tone of voice, so it was impossible for Xiao Yan to be unaware of it. However, combined with the answer he gave in front of the teachers just now, Xiao Yan unconsciously made some guesses.

"By the way, where did Wan'er get the clue about this ancient demon fire map?"

"…I don't know, just a guess."

"Then how does Wan'er know what lemon tastes like?"

"I traveled around the northwest continent and gained a lot of knowledge."

"There are lemons in the Northwest Continent?"

"That kind of thing isn't that precious. It's not like it's only found in Zhongzhou, right?"

Yao Wan's tone was inevitably a little more hesitant. "How much do you know about me?"

"Well... you know everything you shouldn't know, right? Who are we talking to?"

Only on this question did Yao Wan's answer seem more confident.

But she didn't know that this confidence made Xiao Yan even more difficult to judge.

“…I see. That makes sense when I think about it.”

Xiao Yan couldn't help but nodded slightly. He indeed noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in Wan'er's expression that he didn't know, but he didn't intend to expose it.

The secret is not the gap between two people, but the gift box that wraps the gift. When you see the box, it doesn’t matter what’s inside.

At this time, Yao Wan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. The two of them knew each other so well that her facial expressions were clearly visible in Xiao Yan's eyes, and the changes in Xiao Yan's facial expressions were the same in front of Yao Wan.

She knew that Xiao Yan was not angry with her, but it was precisely because of this that she felt uneasy as she had the secret in her heart.

In Yao Wan's view, feelings are naturally mutual and equal.

After struggling for a while, Yao Wan finally let out a sigh.

"...Um, Xiao Yan."

"Well? Wan'er, just keep talking. I'm listening."

"Um...if I tell you that I have a secret that I haven't told you, will you be angry?"

Yao Wan couldn't help but hesitate and feel shy, and the evasive look in her beautiful eyes was inevitably a little funny.

"Nope."

"…You don't have to lie to me just to consider my feelings…"

"Then Wan'er, do you want me to look into my eyes to verify my accuracy?"

Xiao Yan stared at Yao Wan. How could she still have the confidence now? She quickly shook her head and said, "Okay - I believe you..."

"My dear Wan'er..."

Looking at Yao Wan now, Xiao Yan was really hungry, but he still suppressed the impulse in his heart and said, "Everyone has secrets, so I am certainly not angry if Wan'er has a secret. What's more, Wan'er even told me about it... What else can I be angry about? Do I look like such a rude person?"

“…I don’t think I’m being honest enough…”

Yao Wan just felt so awkward, but after struggling for a long time, she couldn't suppress the conflict in her heart. The soft sighs she murmured seemed to be heard only by herself, which made Xiao Yan laugh.

"Not honest enough? I think we are quite honest with each other."

Xiao Yan's answer with a suppressed smile made Yao Wan distracted for a moment. Only then did she come to her senses and a blush appeared on her pretty face, not knowing whether it was more of shyness or anger. How could she not understand what this pervert meant?
"——I really admire you!"

Yao Wan was furious.

"I'm trying to get down to business with you, why are you thinking about all this nonsense?"

Xiao Yan really wanted to tell the truth. It was obvious that Wan'er was more energetic during this period. He didn't know what happened last time, but she blocked him at the door and bit him before he could say anything. Xiao Yan was afraid that he would never forget this experience.

I always feel like Wan'er has become so strange since the last trip to the Heavenly Tomb... It's like some strange switch was turned on...

And everything that happened after Nalan came back further catalyzed and intensified this process.

Wasn’t it the last time when Nalan just came back?

However, in addition to understanding Wan'er's personality, Xiao Yan also knew that sometimes one should not tell the truth in front of a woman, otherwise who knows what might happen.

However, without waiting for Xiao Yan to explain, Yao Wan sighed softly. Her temper came and went quickly.

"But speaking of it, I also have a responsibility..."

Yao Wan's tone inevitably revealed a hint of embarrassment. She was not the kind of person who liked to shirk responsibility. She was angry simply because she couldn't stand Xiao Yan's teasing. She might have been a little bit strange during this period...

Uh... never mind...

But there's nothing we can do about it, right? This isn't exactly a normal physiological reaction that people would have... There's nothing strange about it happening to me...

It's just... it's just... I was a little late, that's all... It's nothing strange, right?
Yao Wan tried hard to find reasons and excuses to exonerate herself, but they were so pale that even she could hardly believe them.

Xiao Yan was still quietly waiting for Yao Wan's answer, and a faint sense of mischievousness in his heart emerged. It was so interesting every time he saw Wan'er's expression.

However, his overly straightforward look naturally became the last straw that broke Yao Wan's psychological defenses.

"Okay, okay! Let's go practice!"
