#969 - Bad luck

bass!

Nalan Yanran's words undoubtedly touched Xun'er's lungs. Her eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and all the cold murderous intent was poured onto Nalan Yanran.

However, Nalan Yanran didn't feel anything about it and didn't take it to heart at all.

Murderous intent...haha.

To put it bluntly, Xun'er's murderous intent was not even enough to make Nalan Yanran draw her sword.

Xun'er also realized how useless her murderous intent was to Nalan Yanran, so she retracted it, smiled again and retorted.

"It's the same for me. I won't be too lonely if I have Miss Nalan to accompany me."

Xun'er originally thought that after she said this, Nalan Yanran would be furious, but to her surprise, Nalan Yanran still didn't feel anything and just shrugged lightly.

"For now, that's indeed the case."

Xun'er was silent for a while, then asked in a deep voice.

"Aren't you angry?"

"Why? Do you want to see me angry?" Nalan Yanran crossed her arms and smiled slightly. "Then I'm sorry to disappoint you. With my current state of mind, there should be nothing in this world that can make me emotional."

Over the past decade, Nalan Yanran has hovered on the line between life and death time and time again, which has brought not only a rapid increase in strength, but also an extremely powerful mental force. If Nalan Yanran had been mentally weak once during those countless times when she was on the verge of death, she would not be able to stand here intact now.

"To be honest, after I learned that the teachers and the others were with Xiao Yan, I was ready for you to mock me. Who would have thought that you could be so disappointing?"

Nalan Yanran mocked again, and before Xun'er could get angry, Nalan Yanran stepped forward and put her arm around Xun'er's shoulders in a familiar manner, chuckling in Xun'er's stunned gaze.

"Let's go. We are inseparable now. There is no need to make our relationship so awkward. Take me around the Tianhe Alliance."

After being stunned for a long while, Xun'er came back to her senses and stared at her with resentment.

"If you really think so, you shouldn't have said those annoying words just now."

"I didn't mean to mock you on purpose. I was just telling you the truth." Nalan Yanran raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at Xun'er. "Given your current situation, just telling you the truth can irritate you like this. If I had intended to mock you, I'm afraid you would have lost your mind by now~"

"......"

Xun'er's face was full of black lines and she wanted to refute, but after thinking carefully about Nalan Yanran's words, she found that she couldn't refute a single word.

Nalan Yanran was right. She was just telling the truth and did not fabricate anything.

After a while, Xun'er looked at Nalan Yanran with complicated eyes and asked softly.

"You really have no feelings at all about Brother Xiao Yan getting married?"

Xun'er was full of doubts. She was very sure that Nalan Yanran liked Xiao Yan very much, even though she had always been at odds with her before.

Or maybe it was because of her confrontation with him that Xun'er could understand more clearly the depth of Nalan Yanran's feelings for Xiao Yan.

"Of course I am a little sad, but I am just a little sad." Nalan Yanran glanced at Xun'er and asked, "Then how do you think I should feel about this matter?"

"Disappointed? There's no need for that. I'm not dead yet. There are plenty of opportunities. Disappointed is useless except for wasting time."

"Angry? My engagement with Xiao Yan was cancelled a long time ago. We haven't even met in the past ten years. What right do I have to be angry about him getting married?"

Hearing Nalan Yanran's question, Xun'er stood there in a daze. She couldn't understand why Nalan Yanran was so open-minded.

Nalan Yanran didn't care what Xun'er was thinking and continued talking to herself.

"I first met Xiao Yan when I was a child, and after I separated from Xiao Yan, I became clear about one thing in my heart."

"I like him, and I want to be with him like that forever."

"But I won't change myself, my personality, and my way of doing things just because I like him. I want Xiao Yan to like the original me. If not, it will be meaningless."

"But that doesn't matter to me, I just have to do what I'm supposed to do."

"What if Xiao Yan really accepted the agreement, but lost to him because of my overthinking during training, which caused my strength to fall a little short? That would really make me feel so miserable that I would want to die."

"I can accept losing, but I don't want to lose with regrets like this."

Nalan Yanran put her arm around Xun'er's shoulders and spoke out her thoughts, then suddenly asked Xun'er.

"Xun'er, I have experienced countless dangers in my training so far, and I almost died many times, but I managed to survive in the end. Do you know why?"

"Because you are strong."

Xun'er answered without hesitation, and this was the only answer she could think of.

But Nalan Yanran just shook her head and said.

"I am very strong, but that is not the key to my survival. The biggest reason I can survive is luck."

"luck?"

Xun'er was slightly stunned and looked at Nalan Yanran with distorted eyes.

Are you kidding me?

"Look~ I guessed you had this kind of look, you don't think I'm kidding you, do you?"

Nalan Yanran pointed her finger at Xun'er. Although Xun'er did not answer, her eyes had already expressed affirmation. Nalan Yanran smiled softly.

"You should already know what my skill, Blood Madness, does."

"Indeed, this technique allows me to burst out with increasingly powerful strength when I am on the verge of death. It can be said that as long as I can hold on for a breath, theoretically I am invincible."

"But, this is only in theory. In fact, there were many times when I was almost killed during my training. In that situation, even the blood madness couldn't save me."

"But I survived in the end because I was lucky. I was so lucky that every opponent who had the ability to kill me thought I was doomed, so they relaxed their vigilance and gave me a chance to catch my breath."

"Whether you admit it or not, luck exists objectively and can even have a huge impact on the future of mankind."

"Then Xun'er, I will tell you something now." Nalan Yanran looked at Xun'er and asked seriously, "You may feel upset and angry about Xiao Yan's marriage, but you have to understand that it is not entirely your problem, and certainly not Xiao Yan's."

"You just have bad luck, that's all."

Am I unlucky?

The more Xun'er listened, the more outrageous it seemed to her, and her expression became more distorted.

I am the eldest daughter of the ancient clan, born with divine blood. How can I still have bad luck?

However, Xun'er just opened her mouth to deny it, but her expression suddenly froze.

Because she suddenly realized that what Nalan Yanran said was indeed right.

Xiao Yixian, Yun Yun, Cai Lin... What Xiao Yan's wives have done for him, I can do too, and I am willing to do it for Xiao Yan.

But it just so happened that he never had this opportunity. Every time Xiao Yan encountered trouble, he happened not to be by his side, thus losing the opportunity to cultivate feelings with Xiao Yan again and again.

On the other hand, although Nalan Yanran had not met Xiao Yan in the past ten years, every time Xiao Yan got into trouble, it was Nalan Yanran who took care of the mess. This was not an action dictated by Nalan Yanran's subjective consciousness, but it just so happened that the people who provoked Xiao Yan also provoked Nalan Yanran.

But just because of this, Nalan Yanran's status in Xiao Yan's heart became higher and higher. Even though they hadn't met for more than ten years, Xiao Yan still recognized Nalan Yanran's feelings.

These things were told to her by the Little Medical Fairy, but Xun'er never associated them with something as intangible as luck.

As for the others except Xiao Yixian, now thinking about it, it was because of luck and the accident with Xiao Yan that they surpassed me one after another.

In an instant, Xun'er suddenly figured out a lot of things. Even though the result did not change, the depression in her heart had mostly disappeared.

"Huh... you're right." Xun'er let out a long sigh, a bitter smile on her face, "My luck is really bad."

"So are you going to give up?"

Nalan Yanran asked teasingly, and Xun'er answered without hesitation.

"Of course not! What's wrong with having bad luck? I don't believe my luck can always be this bad!"

Xun'er clenched her fists, with flames burning in her eyes. She knew that she should do what she should do now and stay with Xiao Yan forever. She would always find an opportunity!

Looking at Xun'er who had cheered up, Nalan Yanran smiled lightly, hugged her and walked forward.

"Let's go, take me to meet Xiao Yan's other wife. We might become a family in the future. Let's get to know them in advance and see if I can help or something."

Xun'er looked at Nalan Yanran who was hugging her with complicated eyes and asked softly.

"Why are you saying this to me?"

"Because I want to." Nalan Yanran glanced at Xun'er, "When I was in the Xiao family, I was always fighting with you openly and secretly. As a result, now we are the only ones who haven't reached the finish line. We can be considered to be in the same boat~"

"And putting aside the identity of love rival, I think you and I can get along pretty well, don't you think?"

Nalan Yanran asked this, Xun'er was silent for a moment, and then a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Indeed.”

On the other side, in Xiao Yan's office.

Gu Qinghan, who had just finished processing the last document, had just relaxed her nerves and was about to take a break when suddenly a huge rock that had been weighing on her heart disappeared, leaving Gu Qinghan slightly stunned. Lei Jing, who was standing beside her, noticed the change in her expression and asked in confusion.

"Qinghan, what's wrong?"

"Ah... nothing, I just suddenly feel a lot more relaxed."

Gu Qinghan also looked confused, as if something he had been worried about suddenly no longer required him to worry about.

At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Yun Yun and Fire Spirit Fairy walked in. Xiao Yan, who was discussing the revision of the autonomous regulations with Cai Lin, turned around and was slightly stunned.

"Yun'er, Huo Ling, you're here." Xiao Yan said, with worry in his eyes, "How is Yanran?"

"Don't worry, he's awake. He just came with us to Tianhe League and is just wandering around."

Yun Yun replied with a smile, and Xiao Yan felt relieved. Then Yun Yun came to Cai Lin, and Cai Lin stared at her with resentment.

"Finally you're here. If you hadn't come, I would have quit my job."

Cai Lin winked at Yue Mei as she spoke. Yue Mei nodded in understanding and directly took out a stack of documents and threw them to Yun Yun, who took them very skillfully.

"Sorry, I'll come and help you deal with it."

Then Yun Yun sat down next to Cai Lin and seamlessly entered into work mode, while Xiao Yan came to the Fire Spirit.

"Fire Spirit, where's the child?"

"Let Xiao Yixian help take care of them." Huo Ling replied calmly, "The Yan Clan has just moved to Zhongzhou recently, and I can't sit idle. Leave all the affairs of the Yan Clan to me. As the chief elder of the Yan Clan, I can solve a lot of problems."

As she spoke, the Fire Spirit Fairy stretched out her hand to Xiao Yan and asked for a job. Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then worriedly comforted her.

"The child was born not long ago, and you are still with him..."

"Hmm?" Fire Fairy glared and asked coldly, "Why? Are you worried that I can't do my job well? Or are you worried that Little Doctor Fairy can't take care of the child?"

"I...Okay, I get it."

Seeing the look in Fire Spirit Fairy's eyes, Xiao Yan knew that she had made up her mind. He did not try to dissuade her and turned to look at Gu Qinghan.

"Qinghan, sort out the unresolved issues that the Yan Clan has accumulated and hand them over to the Fire Spirit."

"Well, wait a minute."

Gu Qinghan nodded, stood up and began to count the documents related to the Yan clan, and handed them to the Fire Spirit Fairy.

"Sister Huo Ling, that's all."

"Yes, thank you."

Fairy Fire Spirit took the document and looked through it for a few seconds, then nodded softly to Gu Qinghan. She then glared at Xiao Yan, turned around and left the office.

Looking at the heavily closed door of the room, Gu Qinghan turned around and looked at Xiao Yan helplessly.

"Sister Huo Ling's attitude towards you is still so bad..."

"After all, among Xiao Yan's wives, only Sister Huo Ling was completely unwilling." Lei Jing continued leisurely, looking at Xiao Yan and snickering, "If I were her, I would fight Xiao Yan to the death in the next life. I swear I would not be a human being if I didn't kill Xiao Yan, really."

Although it was a joke, Xiao Yan still couldn't help but shudder.

The same thing has different solutions because everyone has different personalities.

For example, Yun Yun had kept it a secret from Xiao Yan at the beginning. If Xiao Yan had not taken the initiative to admit it, Yun Yun would probably have kept this matter in her heart forever.

And with Lei Jing's overly straightforward personality, if she were in the Fire Spirit Fairy's shoes, she would really do as she said and would not be satisfied until she killed Xiao Yan in this life.

"I must sit down and have a good chat with her after this busy period..."

Xiao Yan covered his forehead with his hands. He had always wanted to have a good chat with the Fire Spirit Fairy, but things had been happening one after another recently. He didn't even have time to sleep. He had no time at all.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, Yao Ye rushed in and looked at Xiao Yan solemnly, and spoke in a serious voice without waiting for Xiao Yan to ask.

"Xiao Yan! The Soul Clan has new developments!"
