185. Sleep soundly all night
Ya Fei obediently leaned on Xiao Yan's shoulder. Although Xiao Yan had his arm around Ya Fei, he still forcibly controlled his hands and did not move them. After all, Xiao Yan already thought Ya Fei's figure was extremely exaggerated. Xiao Yan could not guarantee that he would be able to stop himself once he started.
The two embraced for a while, and Ya Fei gently asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"That's right, I still have a lot to do, and I have to go to Zhongzhou."
"You have a heavy burden on your shoulders, don't you?" Ya Fei's tone was full of tenderness for her lover.
Only Xiao Yan knows the responsibilities he bears. His entire family is in the Ancient Clan, and Xun'er's background is terrifyingly powerful. Xiao Yan doesn't even know what level he needs to reach before he can propose marriage to the Ancient Clan. Meanwhile, Yao Lao is still in the Myriad Beasts Space with Emperor Xu Tian Di Nian, waiting for him to reshape his body.
Of course, the most troublesome thing right now is the journey with the Yan Clan. The name Yan Clan should be inseparable from the attribute of fire, and Yan Di and Huo Zhi are both masters of fire. They also possess two different flames. This journey will probably not be easy.
Ya Fei also broke free from Xiao Yan's embrace and said, "Then you should get some rest today!"
Ya Fei carefully took out a light blue candle, about the length of a finger, from her storage ring. She placed it in a red candlestick in the room and lit it. A fresh ocean scent began to fill the room.
Ya Fei returned to Xiao Yan's side and explained, "This is the Tranquilizing Whale Glue Candle; it should help you get a good night's sleep tonight."
Xiao Yan was taken aback when he heard the word "sleep." It had been several months since he last slept. After all, since the three-year agreement, he had long since gotten used to replacing sleep with cultivation. Time is sometimes the most precious resource.
These Tranquil Whale Candles are also excellent items, costing as much as a sixth-grade elixir. Moreover, once lit, they burn out within a few hours, making them extremely extravagant. Only the Mittel family could possess such a treasure.
However, there's a reason why it's expensive. Even Xiao Yan felt a lightness in his body and a slight drowsiness arose in his mind when he smelled it.
Although he was feeling sleepy, Xiao Yan, with his powerful soul force, explained, "Sister Ya Fei, I can't..."
Ya Fei came up to Xiao Yan and covered his mouth with her hand, saying, "I know, I won't do anything to you, I just want you to get some rest for the night."
Ya Fei's gaze softened, and she went directly to the bed, letting Xiao Yan rest his head on her lap. Ya Fei's delicate hands massaged Xiao Yan's forehead, and feeling the pressure on his forehead, Xiao Yan truly felt incredibly comfortable.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan thought, "You're going to become an empress in the future. I'm afraid no one else will have such good fortune."
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei smiled and said, "Actually, no one else has ever experienced this except you."
The Mittel family's renowned auctioneers, aside from Xiao Yan, have never actually served anyone else.
Although Xiao Yan didn't want Ya Fei to make such sacrifices for him, hearing what Ya Fei said to him at this moment still satisfied his possessiveness to the greatest extent.
"I will always be in the Gama Empire. You can come back when you are tired. There will always be people waiting for you here."

Before Xiao Yan fell asleep, Ya Fei whispered her last words, which reached Xiao Yan's ears.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? Unfortunately, there are too many people Xiao Yan cannot let down, so he is destined not to accept Ya Fei's affection.
……
The next day, as a ray of sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled patterns on the ground, Xiao Yan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them. He had truly relaxed and slept soundly the previous night, and upon waking on time in the morning, he felt his blood flowing more smoothly.
He had been too tense for a long time, and with Yao Lao not around, Xiao Yan cultivated without restraint. It was only yesterday that Xiao Yan was able to truly relax that taut string.
The refreshing scent of the An Shen Whale Candle still lingered in the room, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Expensive things really have no flaws except for their price."
However, for Xiao Yan now, a sixth-grade pill, though precious, is not something he cannot part with.
Ya Fei was still fast asleep. To make Xiao Yan more comfortable, she hadn't changed her sleeping position all night, and finally just leaned against the edge of the bed. Looking at the sleeping beauty, Xiao Yan felt a surge of excitement. After confirming that Ya Fei was still asleep, he gently rubbed her smooth face.
Xiao Yan slowly removed Ya Fei's phoenix crown, gently picked her up, and laid her completely on the bed. Then he covered Ya Fei with the quilt.
After finishing everything, Xiao Yan ransacked his storage ring, scattering a pile of jade bottles and boxes onto a small table. The table was soon overflowing, and eventually, many more were piled on the floor. He glanced at Ya Fei, still asleep, not knowing what she was dreaming about, but a faint smile remained on his lips.
Xiao Yan opened the door himself and left silently. Not far from the room, he saw Yang Lingyan sitting cross-legged on the ground. This was the core area of the Mittel Auction House, and also Ya Fei's private quarters, so no one could enter without permission. Yang Lingyan's cultivation here was undisturbed.
Yang Lingyan noticed Xiao Yan's arrival immediately and jumped up. Looking at Xiao Yan, he was still a little nervous and said, "Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Yan walked over and patted Yang Lingyan on the shoulder, saying, "If Xun'er causes you trouble in the future, you must hold on!"
Yang Lingyan was initially worried that his arrangements might have displeased Xiao Yan, but after hearing Xiao Yan's words and realizing that Xiao Yan hadn't come out all night, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Xun'er has such a good temper, she'll definitely spare my life!"
The two then exchanged a smile, flashed out, and sped towards Black Mountain Fortress.
……
The Black Mountain Fortress was bustling with activity today, with almost everyone inside already waiting patiently on the city walls.
Because Xiao Yan is leaving today, after several days of fermentation and his performance on the Black Mountain Fortress, Xiao Yan has almost conquered everyone in the Black Mountain Fortress.
Not to mention, Xiao Yan's identity as an alchemist has also been exposed, and now Xiao Yan is practically a national idol for the young people of the Jia Ma Empire.
He was also a true hero among the soldiers of the Black Mountain Fortress. Xiao Yan conquered these true warriors who had fought on the battlefield with his real strength.
