The two were instantly startled and threw a punch backward, but upon realizing it was Xiao Tian, they quickly retracted their attacks.
"Trying to murder me?" Xiao Tian gave each of them a sharp rap on the head, and they both clutched their heads in pain.
"Who told you to suddenly come up behind us and scare us?" Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, her face full of defiance.
"I've been here for a long time. You just didn't notice."
"Then… then did you hear anything?" Zi Yan instantly panicked, thinking that if Xiao Tian had heard, how would she be able to steal the things he gave Medusa to drink in the future.
At the time, she was blocked and couldn't see what Medusa was drinking, only the residue on her lips and her swallowing.
"Why would I have time to eavesdrop on you two? I'm not that bored," Xiao Tian said, pinching her baby-fat cheeks.
As for whether he was telling the truth or not, only Xiao Tian himself knew.
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan and Xiao Huiying both breathed a sigh of relief, having almost failed before even starting.
"Xiao Tian, do you think this scorpion is edible?" Zi Yan tugged on Xiao Tian's sleeve and asked.
"You can eat it, and after you eat it, you'll turn into a little green person, the kind covered in pincers. Do you still want to eat it?" Xiao Tian glanced at Zi Yan, truly a glutton.
Zi Yan's face instantly turned ashen, and she quickly waved her hands, then kicked the giant scorpion away.
Xiao Tian made a grasping motion in the air, and the flying scorpion instantly exploded. A stream of light landed in Xiao Tian's hand, which was a Level Six Magic Core. "You wasteful girl, this is a poison-attribute Level Six Magic Core. Don't waste it. Your Sister Xian'er can use it perfectly."
After he finished speaking and put away the Magic Core, he looked at Zi Yan with a mischievous smile. "Little Zi Yan, does your foot hurt from kicking? Do you want me to rub it for you?"
Upon hearing the first part, Zi Yan was touched for a moment, but when she heard the latter part, she couldn't help but kick him directly in the shin.
You almost really touched me.
Xiao Huiying couldn't help but smile as she watched the two bicker.
Seeing her smile, Xiao Tian pointed to the water stains on his clothes, and Xiao Huiying's face instantly turned red like an apple. A burst of Dou Qi swept out, and the water stains instantly vanished.
This method of destroying evidence truly inherited Xiao's teachings.
"Sister Hui Ying, let's go dig for medicinal herbs. I sense a lot of good things here."
Zi Yan, being very sensible, knew that Xiao Tian would have to talk to those people later, so she pulled Xiao Huiying away. Moreover, she indeed sensed quite a few good medicinal herbs nearby.
Watching the two leave, Xiao Tian was also very relieved. With Xiao Huiying there, the two would not be in any danger.
Xiao Tian watched as the Jia Ma Empire's army cleaned up the battlefield, while the people from the Three Great Empires had either fled or died.
Xiao Tian arrived on the city wall. At this time, the remaining ten powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire were there. As for "remaining," it didn't mean that only these were left alive, but rather that Yun Yun, Hai Bodong, and Miteer Tengshan were now members of Boundless Heaven Divine Palace and not in Jia Ma.
Seeing Xiao Tian approach, they all showed friendly and amiable smiles, marveling at Xiao Tian's terrifying strength.
Xiao Tian also responded with a friendly smile and a nod.
He saw Xiao Yan surrounded by two women who constantly asked about his well-being, checking if he was injured, but Nalan Yanran seemed a little possessive.
Xiao Tian and the others all watched with interest, while Jia Xingtian had no objections. He even wished for Yao Ye and Xiao Yan to have a relationship. Xiao Yan, at such a young age, was already a Dou Huang, making him a top-tier eligible bachelor.
After staying for a few days, the army cleaned up the aftermath and returned to Jia Ma Holy City.
Upon their return, Xiao Tian also released Han Yue, Qing Lin, and the others. Among them, Xiao Tian and Yun Yun took Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng to Cloud Mist Sect, while Xiao Huiying, Han Yue, and the others were taken by Ya Fei to go shopping.
Xiao Tian and his group of four stayed at Cloud Mist Sect for half a day before leaving.
And in front of a grand palace in Cloud Mist Sect, a figure looked at Yun Yun holding her child with a face full of happiness, and sighed deeply, letting go of the obsession in his heart.
This person was Pill King Gu He.
…
Xiao Tian's group of four also found Ya Fei's group. Because everyone had strong auras, there were no incidents of unruly young masters causing trouble.
Of course, that wasn't the only reason. Secretly, there were also Cloud Mist Sect's intelligence agencies and the imperial family's secret guards. Those reckless young masters were bagged before they even got close.
After returning to Boundless Heaven Divine Palace, the women were now sitting on Xiao Tian's large bed, dividing up their newly purchased items.
There were also many items and clothes bought for Yun Yun, Xiao Meng, and Xiao Ling, and of course, many for Xiao Tian as well.
At this time, Xiao Tian had transformed into an emotionless mirror. They constantly changed their clothes and accessories, asking Xiao Tian for his evaluation.
Xiao Tian was currently in agony and joy. The agony was because he had to constantly evaluate the women's items and whether they looked good.
The joy was that the women, who originally needed no makeup, became even more radiant and charming with these accessories, and even more so with various outfits.
He experienced a life that even an emperor would envy.
Could an emperor have such top-tier quality?
Finally, Xiao Tian couldn't take it anymore, running out of words, so he slipped into the bathroom to soak in the bath and relax.
Just as Xiao Tian was soaking in the bath, Xiao Huiying walked in.
"Master, Sister Yun and the others asked me to scrub your back, and to learn and practice in advance."
Xiao Huiying, wearing a translucent gauze dress, with two low ponytails and two small horns, came behind Xiao Tian and said shyly.
Xiao Tian didn't look at her, so as not to make her more nervous. Instead, he simply flipped over and lay on the edge of the bathtub.
Xiao Huiying slowly walked into the water, even with the scrubbing items beside her to help him scrub.
…
After the scrubbing session, the two left the bathtub. Xiao Huiying stood quietly in front of Xiao Tian and spoke to him.
"Master, I feel that your Dou Technique is a little out of control. Are you about to be unable to resist the backlash of your Dou Qi?"
Xiao Tian grabbed her hand and placed it where it should be. "Then, Hui Ying, will you help me calm this backlash?"
"Mm, Hui Ying is willing to do anything for Master," Xiao Huiying responded firmly. "Then what should I do to help Master?"
"Control your hand strength a little, then help me regulate it. Later, you can speed up as you see fit. When necessary, you can use the tools you carry to assist. Afterward, just help me clear the blockages in my body."
Xiao Tian, afraid she still didn't understand the specific steps, explained the other tools in more detail in her ear.
"I… I understand. I'll start trying now."
Xiao Huiying followed Xiao Tian's instructions, and during this time, under Xiao Tian's guidance, she gradually found a way to resolve the backlash and began to use her own tools to assist.
Because it was her first time calming a Dou Technique backlash, she was very nervous and apprehensive. Fortunately, Xiao Tian kept encouraging her and giving her confidence.
More than forty minutes later, Xiao Tian's expression changed drastically. "Hui Ying!!"
Xiao Tian's body trembled, and a terrifying backlash force instantly erupted. He grabbed her small dragon horns, pulled her closer, and pressed her against his body to prevent her from being affected by the backlash force.
"Cough, cough~" Xiao Huiying was still shaking and coughing from the force, but at least her appearance was unharmed.
She slowly raised her head and swallowed the food that had overflowed due to the force's vibration.
This was food Master made for herself. She couldn't waste it.
"Master, your backlash should be fine now, right?"
Xiao Huiying asked Xiao Tian intermittently while cleaning the source of the backlash force.
"It's fine. This time, I owe it all to you, Hui Ying. You're amazing, you're a genius! From now on, you can learn more from your Sister Fei and the others."
Xiao Tian stroked Xiao Huiying's head and praised her.
"Mm-hmm, then I'll definitely study hard from now on, so I can help Master suppress this backlash."
"Alright, then I'll be relying on you from now on."
