The ability to create mental illusions is a skill possessed only by martial arts grandmasters.
When Xiao Yan first activated the calligraphy scroll, a wisp of Xiao Ning's consciousness descended into the Monster Mountain Range, where he witnessed the famous scene from the original novel.
Xiao Yan's first encounter with Yun Yun!
In the original story, the two first met in a cave while healing their wounds, and developed complex and beautiful feelings for each other. Their meeting was like a golden breeze and jade dew, surpassing countless encounters in the mortal world.
However, on the eve of Xiao Yan's decisive battle with the Yunlan Sect, the previous sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Shan, controlled Yun Yun and betrothed her to Gu He in order to win over the Pill King, which was a great pity.
Fortunately, on the wedding day, Xiao Yan stormed the Yunlan Sect in time, defeated Gu He, killed Yun Shan, and wiped out the Yunlan Sect.
After her sect was destroyed, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan spent several days together on Yunlan Mountain. Her master was killed, and the murderer turned out to be her lover, leaving Yun Yun in a state of great inner turmoil.
Finally, after an internal struggle, she left the Gama Empire.
Xiao Ning couldn't bear to see the two miss out on a lifetime. Recalling the original story, he immediately had a thought and used a mental illusion technique on Xiao Yan to arouse the evil thoughts in his heart, wanting to bring about a good thing.
As for the final outcome between the two of them, let them develop freely.
Yun Yun was beautiful, but Xiao Ning wasn't particularly interested in her.
He didn't want to get involved in any romantic entanglements in the dungeon world, lest he fall into a trap of tenderness and be unable to extricate himself, and be unwilling to return to the real world.
If you want women, there are plenty in modern society.
Having a love affair without considering the consequences, becoming the king of the sea, isn't that much better than messing with women in a dungeon world?
Besides, most women in the dungeon world are devoted and loyal. If you rashly provoke them and then abandon them, it might cause some trouble.
The real world is different. Everyone is more relaxed and carefree. Even if they break up after having fun, it doesn't matter as long as they are having fun.
...
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since Xiao Ning signed in and obtained the "Dragon Elephant True Technique".
There are less than ten days left until Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's three-year agreement.
In the past three months, Xiao Ning has converted all of his true essence into magic power, and his realm has transformed into the Profound Realm. His strength has unknowingly increased by nearly ten times compared to before.
What is Tongxuan?
This is the first step toward the profound path.
Once magical power is generated, supernatural phenomena naturally arise.
He naturally comprehended abilities from myths and legends, such as soaring through the clouds, flying, and disappearing into the earth.
It's as if they were born with the knowledge, as if they were born knowing it, as if they were born understanding it.
Early this morning, he had planned to go to the back mountain to cultivate, but when he heard from the villagers that a guest had come to visit, he gave up the idea.
When Erniu returned from greeting the guest, he never expected that the guest who had suddenly arrived was Xiao Yan, who had disappeared for more than two years.
Xiao Ning glanced at Xiao Yan, and his eyes revealed approval.
After more than two years of training, Xiao Yan's body undoubtedly became more upright, and his handsome face became darker.
The lines on his face, which were originally slightly soft, now subtly revealed a hint of determination.
Clearly, Xiao Yan has grown a lot in the past two years.
"Brother Ning, I'm back! I missed you so much!"
Compared to Xiao Ning's composure, Xiao Yan trembled with excitement upon entering the hall and seeing the figure in the main seat. He quickly stepped forward, approached Xiao Ning, and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Brother Ning. If it weren't for those three calligraphy scrolls you gave me, I might never have come back!"
After his fleeting romance with Yun Yun, Xiao Yan embarked on another journey. He visited the Gobi Desert, the Stone Desert City, met his two older brothers, and experienced a series of changes.
Having encountered numerous crises, Xiao Yan always managed to overcome them without serious harm, thanks to the protagonist's halo. Even when he encountered insurmountable enemies twice, he managed to turn the tide thanks to Xiao Ning's calligraphy.
Now that the three-year agreement is nearing its end, Xiao Yan is heading back home. After meeting his father, Xiao Zhan, at the Xiao family, he immediately went to Xiao Family Village to pay his respects to his elder brother, Xiao Ning.
As Xiao Yan recounted his experiences on this trip, Xiao Ning nodded from time to time and commented on whether his methods were right or wrong.
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Ning took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Overall, you've done a good job during this period of training, and your cultivation level has jumped several levels, making you unmatched among the younger generation!"
Sensing Xiao Ning's aura as deep and boundless as the ocean, Xiao Yan curled his lips and said, "Compared to you, Brother Ning, what are my little achievements worth?"
"hehe!"
Xiao Ning smiled and changed the subject.
"Little Yanzi, you're going to Yunlan Sect for an appointment in a few days. Are you ready?"
Upon hearing the words "Yunlan Sect," the image of Yun Yun suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's mind, and his expression became slightly unnatural.
Although Yun Yun was not Xiao Yan's first love, she was the first woman he had ever been with.
People, whether men or women, always cherish their first time.
I vaguely remember the tender moments we shared as if it were yesterday, but I never imagined that more than a year would have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yan felt a little excited at the thought of seeing her soon. He wondered how she had been doing lately and if she was alright.
He made a boastful statement back then, saying that he would go to the Yunlan Sect to propose marriage to her.
Looking back now, Xiao Yan realized that he was just young and impetuous and didn't know any better.
