Chapter 32: Xiao Yixian's Emotions
Su Yun looked up and down at the medicinal cauldron, marveling at its quality. This item was quite impressive.
All the gifts Kuang Tang had given him before, while he was still around, were nothing compared to this cauldron.
It's worth noting that at the Alchemist Grand Meeting of the Jia Ma Empire, both Yao Yue and Liu Ling only brought out fifth-grade cauldrons as their hidden treasures.
One with the support of the royal family, and the other with a good mentor, yet both used cauldrons that were only fifth-grade. So, a fourth-grade cauldron, like the one Yafei presented, was considered excellent in the Jia Ma Empire.
At least in Su Yun's eyes, considering Yafei's current status, being able to present this cauldron required considerable effort.
"You're thoughtful," Su Yun's expression improved as he nodded at Yafei and stored the cauldron in the system space.
Seeing Su Yun accepting the cauldron, Yafei flashed a knowing smile. While accepting the cauldron didn't necessarily mean anything, it was at least a kind gesture.
After some polite words between Yafei and Su Yun, she escorted him out of the Miteer Auction House.
At this point, she hadn't firmly established herself in Wutan City, and there was no rush in trying to win over Su Yun.
When Su Yun returned home and took out a cauldron to start alchemy, it wasn't the one Yafei had given him; instead, it was the Black Demon Cauldron.
Yes, the one that belonged to Yao Chen.
When Su Yun was asked by Xiao Zhan to refine the Gathering Qi Pill for Xiao Yan, he obtained it from Yao Chen. Not only the Black Demon Cauldron, but he also took the soul gathering ring from the bone flame ring.
When he activated the system, he didn't think much about it and simply replicated Yao Chen's memories. However, when he returned to Wutan City and interacted with the Xiao family, his thoughts became more agile.
After careful selection, he decided to take these two items.
The preciousness of the Black Demon Cauldron needs no further explanation. For alchemists, apart from the Heavenly Flame, this cauldron holds the greatest allure.
The soul gathering ring, on the other hand, was used for absorbing the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Since the efforts by Luo Qian and Kuang Tang to find a soul gathering ring for a year had no results, Su Yun had to take matters into his own hands.
This item was extremely rare in the Jia Ma Empire, and to avoid delaying the absorption of the Heavenly Flame, he took it with him.
Regarding the Heaven Shattering Sword from the original work, Su Yun had no interest.
The Heaven Shattering Sword was too conspicuous. He could use the Black Demon Cauldron quietly during alchemy, and the soul gathering ring didn't need any explanation.
Usually stored in the system space, it would enter the dantian when absorbing the Heavenly Flame, maintaining a high degree of concealment.
Moreover, leaving some things behind was necessary; what if he stripped the sheep clean and it froze to death? What would he do in winter without any fur left?
Sustainable development, understand?
After refining the auxiliary cultivation pill, Su Yun had a rest in the evening, had dinner with Xiao Yixian, and practiced for a while.
Su Yun planned to rest at this point.
At this moment, Xiao Yixian pushed the door open, her face full of smiles, and she pounced into Su Yun's arms.
Su Yun embraced the delicate body of the girl, warm and tender, like holding a piece of warm jade.
Su Yun felt a bit greedy. Over this period, their relationship had become more intimate. He might be single since birth, but he wasn't naive, and he could sense the change.
With age, Xiao Yixian's feelings for him had evolved beyond the dependence of the little girl seeking help.
Su Yun enjoyed the company of Xiao Yixian, and Xiao Yixian was also reluctant to leave Su Yun's embrace; in his arms, it was the safest place in the world.
Suddenly, Xiao Yixian frowned, detecting an unusual scent.
Su Yun was an alchemist, and his body naturally carried a medicinal fragrance and the scent of herbs. However, today, she smelled something different!
It was the scent of vixen, and also perfume!
Xiao Yixian struggled out of Su Yun's embrace, a hint of jealousy in her tone.
"Brother Su Yun, where did you go today?"
Su Yun found it strange; Xiao Yixian's reaction was unusual. "I went to the Miteer Auction House, what's wrong?"
"Brother is lying, wuwu ┭┮﹏┭┮," Xiao Yixian's eyes teared up, crying and making a scene.
"Brother didn't lie to you, how could Brother lie to Yixian?" Su Yun felt a bit of a headache; why was she crying now? This wasn't his area of expertise.
"Brother has a scent of vixen, Yixian can smell it! Brother must have gone to those unsavory places."
Xiao Yixian complained.
Su Yun couldn't help but smile wryly; this was a big misunderstanding.
Su Yun spent the whole night explaining to Xiao Yixian until she cried herself to sleep, finally calming down.
Su Yun felt a bit embarrassed; reality was not like novels where other protagonists are surrounded by admirers. He struggled with just one.
The next day, during breakfast, Xiao Yixian's cheeks were puffed up like steamed buns, clearly still angry.
Still upset, Su Yun smiled wryly and hugged Xiao Yixian, who made a token resistance before falling into Su Yun's embrace.
"Okay, I love you the most, don't be angry, alright?"
Su Yun blew warm air into Xiao Yixian's ear and gently caressed her.
A hint of blush appeared on Xiao Yixian's face, and she reciprocated by hugging Su Yun back.
"Yixian isn't angry; it's just that I felt uncomfortable for some reason yesterday. I don't know why."
Su Yun pinched Xiao Yixian's cheek and smiled. In reality, Xiao Yixian was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Not knowing what jealousy was is normal at her age; she still had emotions.
Su Yun put Xiao Yixian back on her chair; he couldn't hold her all the time.
On the Dou Qi Continent, people developed faster due to the nourishment of Dou Qi. Although she was only thirteen, Su Yun estimated that she was already comparable to a sixteen-year-old high school student.
It was early in the morning, and his temper was already fiery; he didn't want anything to happen right now.
After all, it was too harsh.
For now, he focused on cultivation. When he had enough strength, he could deal with these matters.
In this world, the powerful had long lifespans, and it was never too late to deal with such issues.
Thinking of this, Su Yun sighed. It was a pity about the master.
A month later, after delivering the medicine to the Xiao family, Su Yun was about to leave when two people blocked his way.
Su Yun frowned and scanned the two individuals.

Cultivation: Six-Star Grandmaster
Constitution: None
Attribute: Wood

Su Yun understood; these were the leaders of the other two major families in Wutan City.
Surprisingly, they decided to see him only today, nearly two years after he started cooperating with the Xiao family.
Considering they were family heads, Su Yun found it quite unexpected.
