Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

El bit the tip of his tongue firmly, the pain distracting his slightly. His hands were clenched so tightly that his nails cut into his palms, blood flowing slowly.

However, every word Xiao Yi Xian said kept ringing in his mind, his voice was so soft, like an intoxicating melody.

"I retract my words, this sensation is really much more troublesome!" thought El, his face still looking calm despite his chaotic thoughts.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi Xian pulled away slightly, looking at El in confusion. "What's wrong with you?"

El straightened up, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He looked at Xiao Yi Xian seriously, then said, "Please don't get too close. Ji is hard to control."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly, then deliberately approached more intimately, hugging El tightly like a couple in love.

El gasped, his eyes widening. Reflexively, he pushed Xiao Yi Xian with enough force to make her fall to the floor. "You bastard! What's wrong with you?" she exclaimed.

Xiao Yi Xian looked down at El with a dumbfounded look, a mixture of shock and confusion. "Ji Lan... You hurt a woman?!"

El let out a long breath, trying to calm his mind that was about to lose control. "Please don't get too close," he said again, in a firmer tone. "If you keep fishing, Ji might act out of line."

El slowly knelt in front of Xiao Yi Xian, looking into her eyes seriously.

He touched the collar of Xiao Yi Xian's clothes, his voice low but firm. "Henceforth, if you try something like this again, Ji might not be able to restrain himself."

"It's possible... Ji tore off your clothes and acted like a beast." El said in a cold voice.

Hearing that, Xiao Yi Xian gulped. Her body trembled slightly, fear mixed with curiosity rising in her heart. But she could not completely hate the man in front of her.

There was something about El that caught Xiao Yi Xian attention, something that intrigued his. El's immunity to poison, which was the main reason, was a mystery she wanted to solve.

El finally closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath to regain his composure. "Sorry... Ji scared Xiao Yi," he said as he reached out to help him up.

After standing up, Xiao Yi Xian looked down for a moment before saying softly, her face slightly flushed. "Ji Lan... You're strange."

El just stared at her without speaking, but before he could respond, Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly changed the subject. "Forget about that. So... how did my plan go, do you think?"

El took a deep breath to calm down. He looked at Xiao Yi Xian seriously, then said briefly, "Not bad."

Just then, the door of the room opened with a soft sound, catching the attention of El and Xiao Yi Xian. They both turned their eyes towards the figure that had just entered.

From behind the door, emerged a man with long, flowing white hair, piercing red-rimmed eyes, and a handsome face that exuded calmness.

The man was about 30 years old, yet his appearance looked like a young man in his early 20s. He wore a dark blue outfit with a purple folded robe at the hem, giving off an elegant and authoritative impression.

Behind him, several Almighty Medicine House guards stood guard, but they chose to remain outside, giving the man privacy.

However, one of the Almighty Medicine House guards sneakily left from there.

As soon as the man entered, Xiao Yi Xian immediately came forward and greeted him politely. She bowed slightly with her hands folded in front of her stomach, showing her respect.

The man nodded his head with a warm smile, but his eyes immediately shifted to El. His gaze was curious and slightly wary. "Xian'er, who is this man? Why is he in your room? As far as I know, there are no guests scheduled today."

Xiao Yi Xian turned to El, gesturing for him to explain. El took two steps forward, looked at the man calmly, then clenched his hands in front of his chest in a sign of respect. "This man's Dao name is Ji Lan. Ji is an acquaintance of Xiao Yi."

The man noticed El's accent with slightly raised eyebrows, but kept his smile. "My name is Xiao Yao," he said, clasping his hands over his chest, returning El's greeting. "I am Xian'er's adoptive father."

While maintaining his formal demeanor, El continued in a low but clear tone. "Ji apologizes for sneaking in and, unintentionally, accusing Almighty Medicine House of having ill intentions toward Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yao smiled slightly, then chuckled, his voice soft but full of conviction. "It's fine, no need to feel guilty. In a situation like this, misunderstandings are easy to happen. Ji Lan, don't think too much about it."

"Ji understands," El replied as he lowered his hand. He remained calm, buhishi eyes watched the man in front of his carefully.

Xiao Yao nods in satisfaction, then casts a quick glance at Xiao Yi Xian with a faint smile on his face. "Xian'er, so this Ji Lan is the person you told me about last time," he said, his tone sounding slightly teasing.

After that, Xiao Yao cast his gaze at El, approached, then casually placed both hands on El's shoulders.

"Ji Lan, Xian'er is a special girl. Many men like her, but none have been able to capture her heart." Xiao Yao said in a warm voice. "So, if Xian'er is interested in you, I'll leave her to you."

"Mr. Yao, don't say that!" Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed in a protesting tone, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Xiao Yi Xian looked away, trying to hide her expression that was starting to look agitated.

El, on the other hand, remained silent and calm, without showing any significant reaction. His cold and unwavering demeanor made Xiao Yao frown slightly, as if wondering inwardly.

'Is this Xian'er's one-sided love? Or perhaps this man is too unpredictable?' thought Xiao Yao, feeling a little confused.

However, he quickly dismissed his thoughts, refocusing his attention on Xiao Yi Xian who had calmed down a little after her earlier nervousness.

After calming down, Xiao Yi Xian glanced around with a wary look, making sure no one was listening to their conversation.

Her face turned serious, then Xiao Yao stepped closer to her quietly.

When they were close enough, Xiao Yi Xian slightly stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Xiao Yao's ear in a barely audible voice.

Xiao Yao's expression was stern, reflecting how important the information he wanted to convey was.

Xiao Yao listened carefully, his face remaining calm although his eyes held curiosity and a hint of worry. Occasionally, he nodded slowly, signaling that he understood Xiao Yi Xian's intentions.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi Xian took a step back, waiting for a response from Xiao Yao.

Inside the Wolfhead Mercenary headquarters, Mu She sat on a throne made of black wood, giving off an undeniable aura of authority.

Mu Li's sharp eyes stared at a man kneeling before his, the man's body trembling under the pressure of his leader's gaze.

"Is it really his?" asked Mu She in a cold tone, his voice low yet full of power.

"There's no mistaking it, sir! It is indeed Ji Lan," replied the man with confidence. "He didn't even try to cover his face. I saw it clearly."

"Hmph," Mu She snorted softly, his expression turning cynical. "Ji Lan didn't cover his face? How arrogant and naive!."

Mu She stood up from his throne, his towering height exerting more pressure on the still kneeling man.

"Good. Spread my orders to all members! Surround the Almighty Medicine House immediately!" Mu Li's voice sounded like a rumble, making the room feel even more cramped.

"Ji Lan... I'll make sure you regret it for daring to mess with my Wolfhead Mercenary," he added in a threatening tone.

"Executed!" said the man in a stern voice, before getting up and leaving immediately to carry out Mu She's orders.

Mu She sat back on his throne, his cold gaze staring towards the door that had just closed. "This time, you won't get away, Ji Lan," he muttered, a cruel smile gracing his face.
