Xiao Yan could only sigh. True, he intended to take her with him eventually, but this was… a bit too fast.
Still, the convenience of a private courtyard was undeniable.
After a moment's thought, he nodded slightly.
Turning to the girl, he smiled. "What do you think?"
"Not much!" she huffed, spun on her heel, and stomped off toward her room, cheeks still pink.
Boss Yao chuckled and shot Xiao Yan a knowing look.
Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly, pressing a jade bottle into the man's palm.
"Good work. This is a second-grade elixir ..... Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid. You should know its value."
He tossed it lightly and strode inside, hunger gnawing at him.
Boss Yao froze, then gasped. "Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid?! Worth at least fifty thousand gold coins!"
His hands trembled around the small bottle. His entire shop's annual profit couldn't compare.
"This young master truly is a blessed prodigy," he murmured, eyes gleaming. "Serving him well is worth more than a lifetime of effort!"
After a simple meal, Xiao Yan visited Little Doctor Fairy's room.
No one knew what he said, but before long, Boss Yao saw the girl quietly following Xiao Yan out of the hall.
Watching their retreating figures, the old man smirked and gave a thumbs-up.
"Not only a genius in cultivation ..... but in romance too," he muttered.
Xiao Yan twitched at the corner of his mouth but didn't bother to explain. Let them think what they wanted. With his name protecting her, Little Doctor Fairy would at least avoid future trouble.
Soon, the two arrived at their new courtyard. Artificial rocks framed a small pond, exotic trees lined the walk, and tidy vegetable plots added a touch of life.
The rooms were simple yet refined .... peaceful under the moonlight.
Clearly, Boss Yao had spared no effort to please him.
"I'm taking this room," Little Doctor Fairy declared, pointing at a side chamber.
"Sure," Xiao Yan smiled. "Rest early.
Tomorrow, I'll start teaching you the Spirit Planting Arts."
She dodged his hand as he reached to pat her head, smiling brightly. "You said it ..... no backing out!"
Then, laughing, she darted into her room before he could tease her further.
Xiao Yan shook his head, amused. She hadn't agreed to follow him because of affection ..... but because of the temptation he'd offered.
The Spirit Planting Arts.
A method for cultivating medicinal herbs ..... something known to many clans and alchemists, though usually in its simplest form.
But what Xiao Yan held was far beyond that.
It was a complete compendium Little Doctor Fairy herself had written in her previous life ... after the great Battle of the Two Emperors ..... by gathering knowledge from countless sects, including the Pill Tower.
She'd spent ten years perfecting it.
Xiao Yan had even named it himself: The Spirit Orchid Codex.
That book would one day give rise to an entirely new profession on the Dou Qi Continent ..... the Spirit Planter.
And as the founder of that art, Little Doctor Fairy would be venerated for generations, earning titles like Saint of Medicine and Ancestor of Spirit Planters.
But in this life, Xiao Yan planned to let her start that path early.
After setting aside those thoughts, he gazed once more at the bright moon and entered his own room.
Unlike the simple courtyard outside, the chamber's decor was slightly luxurious yet tasteful. Clearly, Boss Yao had gone all out.
Scanning the room, Xiao Yan's eyes fell on a strangely shaped chair.
"What kind of chair is this?" he frowned. "Why does it rock… and why are there ropes hanging from the beam?"
His expression grew odd. "This Boss Yao… quite the creative old man."
Meanwhile, in her own room, Little Doctor Fairy had come to the same realization ....
and her cheeks flamed crimson.
Xiao Yan rubbed his temples with a dry laugh. "Please. I'm the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Domain. What kind of man needs… equipment?"
With a wry smile, he shook off the thought and sat cross-legged on the bed.
From his storage ring, he drew out the Xuan Bodhi Foundation Building Pill he'd obtained from the tomb.
He wasn't that impulsive youth anymore .... he could control his desires.
After linking with Yao Lao's lazy soul presence and sealing the room with energy, he uncorked the jade bottle.
Instantly, a surge of immense power burst forth, flooding the room with brilliance.
