The next day.
"Yafei, I'm planning to leave Wu Tan City for a while. I'll return in time for the Canaan Academy's enrollment," Xiao Jian said, handing over a detailed list in Yafei's office at the Mittel Auction House.
"Oh? Leaving so soon?" Yafei asked, curious.
"Technically, I could cultivate in Wu Tan City. But the Xiao family doesn't need me to do anything urgent right now.
Cultivating Dou Qi isn't just about seclusion; it's also important to test your skills through real combat," Xiao Jian explained seriously.
Wu Tan's local resources were ordinary at best. Staying within the family meant relying on what the family provided, but venturing outside offered far richer opportunities for cultivation.
In turn, the family's development could accelerate, and his own progress would be faster.
The Monster Mountains were dangerous, but the medicinal herbs and monster cores there would greatly benefit Xiao Jian's cultivation.
Fortune favors the bold.
Yafei nodded slightly, acknowledging the determination in his eyes.
"I'll stay in Wu Tan City until you return for Canaan Academy enrollment.
After that, I'll likely return to the Imperial Capital," she said, carefully tucking away the list.
"Alright," Xiao Jian replied with a smile.
Having lived in this world for over a decade, and never venturing beyond Wu Tan City since his family relocated here during his childhood, Xiao Jian finally felt the thrill of stepping out into the wider world.
"By the way, congratulations. I heard you took down Jiale Bi yesterday?" Yafei teased with a wink.
"Heh, just luck. That old dog lost his mind and tried to attack me.
I used his life to test the power of the advanced-level Dou Technique the Elder Tengshan gave me," Xiao Jian replied with a light laugh.
"No matter what, your combat strength far exceeds others of your level.
I can rest easier knowing that. But once you leave Wu Tan City, you can only rely on yourself. Don't improvise as recklessly as yesterday.
Any mistake could be dangerous....your sister is waiting for you in the Imperial Capital!" Yafei's expression grew serious as she stood beside him, eyes locked on his.
Don't worry. By then, I'll at least be a Great Dou Master," Xiao Jian said softly, a gentle smile on his lips.
"Good, I'll be waiting for you~" Yafei said, her mature, beautiful face smiling with charm.
Seeing Yafei's crescent-like eyes and radiant cheeks, Xiao Jian's heart stirred slightly.
"Yafei…" He softly called her name, reaching out to embrace her waist, pulling her into his arms.
Yafei's figure pressed warmly against him, her body soft and yielding.
Her delicate form, combined with the scent of her perfume, made Xiao Jian's heart race.
He closed his eyes, savoring the comforting warmth.
After a long moment, Xiao Jian reluctantly released her, their bodies still perfectly aligned as they parted.
Their eyes met, both burning with a quiet intensity.
Xiao Jian's lips moved slightly, leaning toward Yafei's, but she placed her hand gently over his mouth.
"Xiao Jian, don't be too greedy. Let's save this kiss for later," she said with a playful smile, her long eyelashes fluttering.
"Understood," Xiao Jian replied, pressing his lips together and nodding.
Sit for a moment. I'll prepare everything for you shortly."
She lightly pinched his cheek, smiled, and walked briskly out of the room.
Xiao Jian reached up, touching his cheek where she had pinched him, smiling and shaking his head.
