Chapter 7.1: Senior Yao
Xiao Yan considered himself as one of the people who does not covet earthly beauty.
Even if it was someone as beautiful as Xiao Mei, Xiao Xun’er, or that girl Nalan Yanran from yesterday, or even those stunning women he saw at Ning Chun Tower when he was taken there by Xiao Ning, Xiao Yan had never felt a hint of lust toward any of them in his heart.
But this ethereal female figure in front of him made Xiao Yan sigh deeply in his heart for the first time.
How could there be a woman with such a perfect and flawless figure in this world?
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Yan realized how rude it is for him to stare at the woman figure in silence, he then quickly clasped his fists and bowed his head.
“I have offended you! Please forgive me!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay~ All men react this way when they see me~” The ethereal woman didn’t mind Xiao Yan’s offensive gaze and waved her hand with a smile. “It’s better to say that if you didn’t react like this, I would feel sad~”
It could be heard that the ethereal woman was very confident in her appearance, to the point that she can be said to be narcissistic, but, what she said was really the truth.
The appearance of the ethereal woman absolutely had the capital to make her have so much self-confidence!
At this point, Xiao Yan dared not look at the ethereal woman’s stunning face again, afraid that he would fall into it again. He respectfully asked,
“May I ask why seniors appear in front of this lowly junior?”
“Aren’t you a little too serious, kid? No little girl will like you if you always act formally like this~” The ethereal woman seemed a bit dissatisfied with Xiao Yan’s respectfulness and teased him softly.
Hearing her words, Xiao Yan just calmly replied, “Perhaps that is true, but proper etiquette must not be lost under any circumstance.”
“……”
Now, the ethereal woman was left speechless upon hearing his words.
She had never seen Xiao Yan act so stiff before, she had observed him before from the ring and he didn’t seem this rigid.
‘It seems that he is treating me as an outsider.’ the ethereal woman thought to herself.
Xiao Yan was generally quite casual when it came to treating those that he considered as his acquaintances, friends, and family, although not to the point of being reckless. However, when dealing with strangers, he always maintained a serious attitude that made it difficult for others to start troubles with him, in short, he’s so polite and respectful to strangers, even to potential enemies, that only those who doesn’t care at all about their reputation would dare to start trouble.
“Let’s put this matter aside for now,” the ethereal woman shrugged and looked at Xiao Yan. “Do you know where I came from?”
“This junior speculates that senior appeared from the ring that belonged to this junior mother,” Xiao Yan replied firmly, having noticed the same aura from the woman and the ring around his neck.
“You have quite an impressive spiritual strength to be able to feel that,” the ethereal woman was genuinely surprised by Xiao Yan’s answer. She didn’t believe that he was just guessing, but must have sensed the aura on the ring to answer so confidently.
At that moment, the ethereal woman became genuinely interested in Xiao Yan.
“Then try to guess again, why did I come out now?” she asked.
“If my guess is correct, then senior must have just awakened and deliberately appeared in front of me while I was alone,” Xiao Yan answered, making the woman frown slightly.
“Since you can guess that, you must also know the reason behind your Dao Qi regression problem,” she said.
Xiao Yan fell silent. He knew the answer to the question, but he couldn’t reveal it because he didn’t know what kind of person this senior was. If he answered too meekly, it could offend the woman and lead to her displeasure.
Therefore, Xiao Yan remained silent, unable to answer the woman’s question.
This kid is soo composed and steadfast, it is a truly admirable trait to have, he is much better compared to the strong cultivator that she has met before. If it weren’t for the fact that she has observed Xiao Yan’s for some time, the ethereal woman could hardly believe that he was just an underage child.
Of course, Xiao Yan could choose to answer with ‘I don’t know.’
But the ethereal woman, who had been observing Xiao Yan secretly for many days, knew clearly that he would never lie, no matter who he was facing.
This kid, not only does he promotes his own belief in righteousness to the outside world, but also strictly adheres to it himself.
If he were to go against his own righteousness, then this so-called righteousness would be a falsehood and would not deserve to be believed in.
It was something that truly came from the depth of his heart, this kid really wanted to spread his own righteous ideology to the world.
‘Encountering a child like you makes me feel even more guilty for what I had done you know…’
