Chapter 1254: Chapter 1255 Finally Together (4)
When she saw An Yiqing, she quickly sized her up from head to toe, then nodded in relief.
"The daughter of the An Family is indeed gifted. The Dragon-Taming Art has a successor now."
"Grandma, how is your health?" With Yin Xilin’s support, An Yiqing slowly sat by the bed.
"Much better! Don’t you know Xiao Ye’s medical arts? This is just a minor wound, it’s nothing serious." Grandma Fengling shook her head dismissively, sighing with emotion, "Girl Xiao Yu, you are a good child, grandma thanks you on behalf of everyone in the Situ Family!"
Saying so, Grandma Fengling, who was half-leaning on the headboard, weakly sat up, intending to salute An Yiqing.
An Yiqing couldn’t see Grandma Fengling’s gesture, but Yin Xilin saw it clearly. Familiar with her master’s temperament, she quickly supported Grandma Fengling, preventing her from bowing to An Yiqing.
"Grandma, if you do this, my master will lose years off her life!"
An Yiqing was startled, then understood Yin Xilin’s meaning. Her expression turned serious, and she looked solemnly in Grandma Fengling’s direction.
"Grandma, you and Ah Mi are my lifesavers, and Ah Mi is also my good friend. Anyway, I already have to manage a bunch of things; one more won’t hurt. Please don’t be so polite with me; it’s my pleasure. Besides, obtaining the legacy of the Dragon-Taming Art is definitely a good thing for me."
Just as Grandma Fengling was about to speak, An Yiqing stopped her again, "Moreover, Grandma, I can’t just stand by and watch Ah Mi walk down a dead-end road. Unlike me, numerous skills won’t press her down. For a little girl without cultivation, it’s simply impossible to revive the Dragon-Taming Clan. Ah Mi is my lifelong friend; I just hope she can live safely and happily all her life, and I’ll take care of the rest."
Grandma Fengling’s eyes were a bit moist. She nodded with comfort, taking a deep sigh.
"Ah Mi having a friend like you is a blessing she cultivated in her past life. Girl Xiao Yu, I won’t say more polite words. Grandma will tell you everything she knows about the Dragon-Taming Clan. The road ahead will be very difficult, you must take care of yourself, or Grandma and Ah Mi will feel guilty for life."
An Yiqing nodded with a smile, agreeing.
After chatting with Grandma Fengling for a while, An Yiqing left the Medicine Sect with Yin Xilin.
When the two returned to the An Family, the two creatures Xiao Hei and Old Jin, who had just come back from outside, were instantly bristling.
Their eyes were fixed on the Little Red on Yin Xilin’s wrist, tails raised high, ready to attack.
Seeing Xiao Hei and Old Jin’s behavior, An Yiqing was instantly exasperated. Last night, when she brought Yin Xilin back, these two behaved as if they had a grudge against Little Red, staring straight at it. Anyone would think these two had a thing for Little Red!
"Hey, you two, that’s enough already. How has Little Red offended you?" An Yiqing helplessly rubbed her forehead.
"Master, that little girl is very poisonous! Be careful not to get bitten by it!" Xiao Hei was referring to Little Red, not Yin Xilin...
An Yiqing rubbed her temples, only to feel her temples throbbing.
"Little Red may be poisonous, but it’s very gentle and won’t hurt anyone. You two, stop being so jumpy, or you’ll scare Little Red."
An Yiqing reached out and took the Little Red that Yin Xilin handed over, gently stroking it in her palm. Little Red’s cool body brought a slight chill to An Yiqing in the hot summer, and occasionally it would stick out its tongue to affectionately lick An Yiqing’s palm.
An Yiqing was truly puzzled, wondering why such a cute little creature was so repelled by Xiao Hei and Old Jin.
Xiao Hei and Old Jin watched in horror as An Yiqing handled the Little Red Snake, playing with it over and over, all their fur standing on end. They didn’t have much animosity toward Little Red, but an animal’s instincts would always make them averse to poisonous creatures.
An Yiqing didn’t bother with the two of them; animals have their own ways of interacting, and who knows, one day these three might fight and become friends.
"Honestly, compared to this Little Red, that Fatty Mao Er seems cuter. I wonder when it will wake up. It’s been a while since I heard its chatter; it feels quite lonely."
An Yiqing paused, her misty eyes glancing towards Old Jin, a smile curling her lips.
Hmm, summer is here, and spring won’t be far behind...
That evening, after having a sumptuous dinner at the An Family, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin returned to the small villa together.
Gu Yelin’s hands were injured, so it was inconvenient for him to be at the An Family. The small villa was very close to the mansion, so it didn’t matter where they stayed.
Moreover, after being apart for over a month, they should really cherish some moments of warmth together.
The warm yellow light turned on, and An Yiqing felt the darkness in front of her give way to a comforting glow. She let Gu Yelin help her take off her shoes and coat, obediently following him to the sofa.
"Finally, we can be together."
In Gu Yelin’s arms, An Yiqing closed her eyes, smiling lightly with emotion.
How long had it been since they stayed quietly together like this? First, there was the intense training in "Red Thorn," then family members being captured, and going to Country Bai. Then falling off a cliff and amnesia, it took a whole month of twists and turns for Ah Lin to find her. They then quickly busied themselves with the Dragon-Taming Art, and for nearly three months, she and Ah Lin hadn’t had a moment’s rest.
"We’ll never be apart again, and I won’t let you get hurt."
Gu Yelin’s deep, pleasant voice sounded softly, with his bandaged hand gently patting An Yiqing’s back, his tone filled with affection.
