If she is naive and inexperienced, take her to see the world's wonders; if she is world-weary, take her on a carousel.
Xuan Yi, on the other hand, was the latter, because although her heart had been melted a little, it was not yet fully healed, and being anxious would only make things worse.
So their relationship had temporarily stopped there, but when they suddenly held hands or did other intimate things, it all felt very natural between them.
As the Shadow Eagle King advanced at full speed, a standoff was taking place in a small mountain range a hundred miles outside Tianhuang City.
Three men in black formed a triangle around a burly, resolute-looking man holding a spear and a woman with a voluptuous, mature, and alluring figure, a face like a peach blossom, and an alluring charm emanating from her.
"Run? Why are you not running anymore?" Among the three men in black, the most imposing of the seven-star Dou Huang coldly looked at the two and said.
The burly man heard their words but did not reply. He held his long spear and watched the three men in black warily, as if he was thinking about how to escape.
"Cousin, do not worry about me anymore. Continuing like this will only drag you down."
The woman looked at the man who was protecting her and sobbed.
With his strength as a four-star Dou Huang and his combat prowess, the man could have easily escaped from the hands of two six-star Dou Huangs and one seven-star Dou Huang.
Instead of the way it was now, where he was beaten bloody after being restricted in his actions to protect her.
"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I do such a thing?" The burly man snorted after hearing the woman's words, his eyes sharp as he looked at the leader of the men in black before him, his voice rough and gruff.
"Tianng Xiang, do not think I will not recognize you just because your face is covered."
Upon hearing the burly man's words, the man in black robes' eyes flickered for a moment before he looked at the other two. "Make your move. We are too close to Tianhuang City. If we delay, things might go wrong."
After saying that, he picked up the knife in his hand and attacked the burly man, with the other two men in black following closely behind.
The burly man also brandished his spear and engaged the three in battle, unleashing a roar.
Just as they clashed, a huge black shadow streaked across the sky at an extremely fast speed in the distance.
"Hey, it looks like there is a fight going on up ahead." Xiao Ling, who had been looking down at the scenery, suddenly exclaimed.
Xuan Yi sensed the direction she pointed and found that it was just three Dou Huangs besieging one Dou Huang and one Dou Wang, so she lost interest.
"It is just a battle between a few Dou Huangs."
Throughout the continent, various grudges, feuds, and battles occur almost every moment.
Moreover, a battle at the Dou Huang level was no different from a child's fight in front of her.
She was not some saintly philanthropist, nor did she have the time or inclination to meddle. Instead, she would rather add a refreshing breeze to Xiao Tian's life.
"A battle at the Dou Huang level? That is boring." Xiao Ling immediately lost interest in watching the spectacle.
She had been watching battles at the Dou Zong level and above since she was a child, and the battles of the mere Dou Huang level were completely boring. Moreover, after arriving in the Central Plains, the battles she had seen in the past few days were all about people slashing and hacking with swords and knives, which was simply laughable.
"Huh?"
Xiao Tian, who was dozing off, let out a soft "hmm" and slowly sat up.
"What is wrong? Are you not comfortable enough lying down? I have an eighth-tier magical beast pelt here, which has been made by soaking various medicinal herbs. Would you like to use it as a mattress?"
Xuan Yi thought Xiao Tian thought the Shadow Eagle King's feathers were too stiff, and said, holding a long white blanket in her hand.
Xiao Tian glanced at the blanket and could not help but click his tongue. As expected of a wealthy woman in the alchemy world, her generosity was extraordinary.
With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that the herbs soaked in this blanket were all high-grade and valuable. There was also a faint scent of Xuan Yi's body fragrance on it, suggesting that Xuan Yi used this item frequently.
"This is what I use when I cultivate. It can help one calm the mind and increase cultivation speed, among other things." Xuan Yi smiled slightly and said softly.
Xiao Tian gently patted Xuan Yi's hand and said softly, "No need. We will talk about it next time we need it. I just sensed a slightly familiar aura, but I could not remember it at the moment."
"Familiar?" Xiao Ling and the other asked. They knew that their father did not know anyone in the Central Plains, so they could not help but be curious. They even wondered if their father had some unknown old flames in the Central Plains.
Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Tian with a smile on her lips. She was not interested in the familiar aura Xiao Tian mentioned, because Xiao Tian said he could not remember it for a moment, so it probably was not someone particularly important. She just assumed that Xiao Tian had run into someone he knew before.

The battle in the mountains continued. The burly man was constantly at a disadvantage under the combined attack of the three men, but the three men attacking him were also in bad shape, with large and small wounds all over their bodies.
The three were also treacherous; their attacks were not directed at the burly man, but specifically at the woman next to him.
The woman also kept using her fighting techniques to help block, but with her five-star Dou Wang strength, it was completely ineffective.
"Big Split Rock!"
At the tip of the massive spear in the burly man's hand, golden light erupted like a torrent, overwhelming the sky with dazzling golden light and accompanied by an extremely sharp and ear-piercing sonic boom as it attacked the three men in black robes.
The three men in black robes also unleashed their most powerful fighting techniques to meet the golden light.
A violent roar erupted, flattening much of the small mountain range, and dust billowed across the battlefield.
After the burly man unleashed this attack, his fighting spirit was almost depleted. He had to use his spear to support himself, and the woman quickly helped him up.
Just as the woman was about to say something, the three figures passed through the smoke and instantly appeared not far from the two. Their black robes were torn in many places, and one of them even had his arm missing.
The leading Seven-Star Dou Huang stared at the two men with icy eyes and grinned maliciously. "As expected of someone from Jia Nan Academy, and even appointed by the Liu family as the next patriarch, your strength is indeed remarkable. If it were not for the fact that you had to expend so much of your strength to protect her, we might have suffered even greater losses."
Having said that, he brandished his knife, unleashing a burst of blade energy towards the two burly men.
The woman hurriedly stepped forward, unleashing a seemingly powerful palm strike to meet the blade energy. However, due to the vast difference in strength, the blade energy was instantly dispersed upon contact and continued its attack on the two.
In a moment of desperation, the woman quickly turned the burly man around, channeling all her fighting spirit to form a protective shield, attempting to use her fighting spirit and her own body to shield the man from the attack.
