Chapter 430: Sworn Enemies Becoming Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law?
Seeing Xiao Yan getting a bit carried away, Yao Chen poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
As a qualified teacher, Yao Chen wouldn't do anything he wasn't confident about. Even when Devouring the Heavenly Flame, he had prepared everything he possibly could, although it ultimately wasn't needed.
Therefore, to prevent Xiao Yan from getting ahead of himself, he knew some things had to be said to avoid irreversible losses due to a momentary oversight.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression turned serious, and he thanked him with extreme sincerity. Under the impact of the immense joy, he had genuinely overlooked these matters.
Zhao Li saw that the two still wanted to say something and stopped them, saying:
"Soaking in Magma isn't a long-term solution. Let's go back and talk about anything important."
While a Dou King wasn't incredibly strong yet, it was sufficient in this remote area. Zhao Li felt that Xiao Yan was ready to execute the plan.
Hearing this, the master and disciple both felt a little awkward. They exchanged glances and stood to the side, waiting for Zhao Li to leave first.
Zhao Li didn't plan to delay. With a thought, the two felt the Void ripple, but it was only for an instant before it returned to its previous state. It even made the two feel like it was their own illusion, but the changed surroundings told them that they had indeed left the underground Magma World.
"Yun Shan, come see me quickly."
Zhao Li's Soul, carrying a Will, spread out into the Void. Due to its unique frequency, only someone with Zhao Li's Soul strength could potentially decipher the Will within. Otherwise, only the target, Yun Shan, could receive the message.
In just a breath's time, Yun Shan appeared before the group, his face showing joy:
"Teacher, you're back! Holy cow..."
He sensed the Dou King aura on Xiao Yan and was completely shocked, letting out a direct exclamation.
He had only left for a short time because he was worried about his daughter, less than ten days by his own count. Yet, in these short few days, Xiao Yan, who was a Great Dou Master just before, had actually reached the Dou King level! Furthermore, within Xiao Yan's body, he also sensed extremely deep and surging power, absolutely incomparable to an ordinary Dou King!
What he cared about, of course, wasn't a Dou King that could be easily destroyed, but Xiao Yan's promotion speed. This kind of speed, he hadn't just never seen it, he had never even heard of it.
But Yun Shan was not the same Little Guy from the Original Work who wasn't even a Dou Sect. Being able to become a Dou Venerate Peak and nearing a hundred years old, his Temperament was decent. After a moment, he recovered and asked:
"Teacher, this Little Guy is..."
Subconsciously, he looked at Zhao Li. If anyone among these people had the ability to make someone go from a Great Dou Master to a Dou King in just a few days, it was probably only his Teacher, who had always been unfathomably deep.
Zhao Li didn't say much, attributing it to Xiao Yan's own Creation:
"He gained some Creation while Devouring the Heavenly Flame, that's all. How is Little Cai?"
He hadn't forgotten the fundamental reason Yun Shan had called him over and used this to change the subject.
Seeing that Zhao Li didn't want to say more, Yun Shan seemed to understand something and paid even more attention to this Dou King level Little Guy. He even dispelled his previous hesitation and made a silent decision.
He took out an exquisite little bed from his sleeve. A Little Snake with a nine-colored body coiled within it. It seemed to sense a familiar aura and opened its hazy eyes, looking around sleepily, finally landing on Xiao Yan. With a whoosh, it shot towards Xiao Yan as fast as lightning.
Xiao Yan subconsciously wanted to dodge, but seeing Yun Shan and Zhao Li, these two elders, present, he forced himself to stop his feet and simply reached out to block the colorful light.
The colorful light and shadow stopped a few centimeters in front of Xiao Yan, its tiny tail gently swaying. Its large eyes held a faint purple hue, and even its snake body carried a hint of allure. It hissed its snake tongue, seemingly greeting Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan knew he was too nervous. He subconsciously touched his nose, looked at Yun Shan, then looked at the Little Snake, and said:
"Martial Uncle, this..."
In the past, he would have definitely taken out a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source to build some goodwill, but now in front of the elders, he didn't dare to court death.
Yun Shan saw the Little Snake being quite close to Xiao Yan and felt a bit jealous, but thinking of Xiao Yan's Talent and Zhao Li's emphasis on this Little Guy, he had already decided to let her go out with Xiao Yan for a while.
He paused, forcing a smile, and said to Xiao Yan:
"Little Cai's Soul fusion still needs some Time. Since she's closer to you, then I'll entrust her to your care for a while. Can you do it? Pill Venerate, what do you think?"
The last sentence was naturally directed at Yao Chen. Although Dou King Xiao Yan was strong enough, if Yao Chen didn't speak up and agree to take care of her, he wouldn't be at ease at all.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression stiffened. It was clearly the same matter, but being entrusted by an elder and wanting to do it himself felt completely different. He looked at Yao Chen, hoping he would refuse.
But his Pharmacist Teacher disappointed him; he agreed.
Yao Chen was old and experienced. From Yun Shan's expression, he seemed to have seen something. This cheap Senior Brother seemed to have taken a liking to his disciple's Talent. Since the child had to go out and explore anyway, why not let her go with someone who was relatively trustworthy?
As for other purposes, those were just matters between the younger generation, and he wouldn't inquire too much.
Zhao Li saw things developing in this direction and found it incredibly novel. However, since the parties involved had made their decisions, he didn't say anything more, only becoming more curious about what the future held.
Originally, when he learned that Yun Shan and the previous Medusa Queen had a child, he was thinking that the sworn enemies from the Original Work's storyline would never become in-laws. He hadn't expected things to be pulled back again, with the possibility of developing in that direction once more.
Sworn enemies are going to become father-in-law and son-in-law? Interesting. I wonder if those things in the Magical Beast Mountain Range happened. If it's like the Original Work, when Yun Shan finds out that his daughter and Disciples and Grand-disciples are all more or less in Xiao Yan's hands, I wonder if he'll go berserk.
Zhao Li found that seeing things completely different from his memory was surprisingly exhilarating. He couldn't help but look forward even more to what changes Xiao Yan, who had been strengthened by him and had undergone a complete transformation, would bring.
With this thought, he pointed out two fingers in succession, one landing on Yun Shan's forehead and the other on Yao Chen's brow, transmitting some thoughts into their Souls.
His speed was too fast; even Yao Chen and the other couldn't see it clearly, let alone react. By the time Zhao Li transmitted the information into their minds, neither of them had reacted, and as the information flooded into their minds, their expressions changed.
After a moment, Zhao Li withdrew his fingers, but the two still maintained their previous astonished expressions. After another while, Yun Shan reacted first. After all, he had followed Zhao Li since he was young and had stayed in Great Li for ten years. Later, he also visited Lin Lan and Zhao Li multiple times. Whether from a perspective of thinking, Horizon, or experience, he was more likely to accept what Zhao Li was preparing to do.
But Yao Chen was different. Even though he had walked with Xiao Yan for the past few years and grown with him, he felt like he had only been dead for a few decades, but everything outside seemed different from when he was alive. He was also constantly adapting to these changes, but he was still shocked by the blueprint Zhao Li had planned.
