After saying that, Bai Yao remained silent, but tightened her grip on Xiao Yuhan with increasing force. After a moment, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Master... Yao'er is scared... Master, please don't leave Yao'er again..."
Xiao Yuhan stood there, feeling uneasy, and reached out to pat the girl on the back.
"When have I ever abandoned Yao'er?"
“When we were outside the Great Wall of Demons… Yao’er was really scared, but Yao’er didn’t dare to cry or make a fuss. Yao’er kept thinking that as long as I returned to my master’s side, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything, but… but…” The little girl sobbed, her cries growing louder and louder.
Xiao Yuhan then realized that when he sent her out before, this girl was only twelve years old. Even if she could adapt to the environment and gradually become the capable expert she is today, she was still just a little girl at heart and had her own vulnerable side.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan's expression softened, and she continued to comfort him, "Yao'er, be good... your master won't abandon you in the future."
"Master, you must keep your word!" Bai Yao buried her head in Xiao Yuhan's shoulder, laughing through her tears.
"When has your master ever lied to you?"
"Master... thank you."
"Sigh..." Xiao Yuhan carried Bai Yao back to her room, and then spent a lot of time comforting and coaxing her before finally persuading her to let go of him and go to sleep.
Looking at Bai Yao's peaceful sleeping face, Xiao Yuhan gently reached out to smooth her disheveled long hair, murmuring, "Yao'er... I don't know what the future holds. I can only do what I can. I don't know why Su Li is looking for you, but I will definitely not let her take you away. I'm not afraid of the Heavenly Demon Abyss or the Demon Disciple. I'm just afraid that one day you will leave me..."
After Xiao Yuhan finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes became resolute. He was no longer the transmigrator who only tried to survive. Now, there were things he cared about more.
With a sigh, he returned to his room alone.
He drifted off to sleep, but that night he slept with a heavy, oppressive feeling. Despite being a cultivator, he felt even his breathing was somewhat suffocated.
He thought he was just too tired and drifted off to sleep. But when he opened his eyes the next day, he saw a little girl lying on his chest. He immediately slapped his forehead and yelled, "You brat, you never stop moving! Get up right now!"
Bai Yao opened her eyes groggily and was utterly surprised to find herself lying on top of Xiao Yuhan. She immediately blushed and asked, "Master...Master, what are you doing in Yao'er's room?"
"Look at this room! Whose room is this?!" Xiao Yuhan said irritably.
Bai Yao turned her head and saw that it was indeed her master's room. She immediately screamed, "Ah!"
Xiao Yuhan quickly covered her mouth, "You brat, are you trying to kill your master? Get up right now!"
After Bai Yao finished speaking, she stood up, but Xiao Yuhan immediately saw her disheveled appearance in a place he shouldn't have seen. Xiao Yuhan quickly turned his head and said, "You brat, hurry up and put your clothes back on!"
Bai Yao quickly straightened her clothes, then got out of bed, her face immediately turning red to her ears. "Master... what did Master do to Yao'er?"
Xiao Yuhan was taken aback. He was certain he hadn't done anything, and immediately snapped, "What are you thinking?! Think back to what you did while you were drunk yesterday!"
Bai Yao thought about it carefully. Although she couldn't remember the details of being drunk very clearly, she still remembered roughly what had happened. She quickly and shyly ran back to her room.
Xiao Yuhan got dressed and stood up, her expression growing increasingly grim.
After a long while, Bai Yao walked to the door with a wronged look on her face. "Master... Master... Yao'er knows she was wrong!"
"What are you doing hiding behind the door? Weren't you so bold yesterday? You clung to your teacher and wouldn't let go no matter what!" Xiao Yuhan said coldly.
Bai Yao cautiously entered the room, then lowered her head and said, "Yao'er was just curious about what the wine tasted like, but... but..."
Xiao Yuhan sighed helplessly, "So! Now you know? Will you still dare to drink in the future?"
"Yao'er won't dare again!"
"Find a way to get me a table yourself! I want to see the stone table in the yard perfectly intact tomorrow!"
Bai Yao quickly agreed, "Yao'er will take care of it!"
Xiao Yuhan didn't say anything more. "Alright, don't drink anymore!"
"Yao'er understands..." After saying that, Bai Yao carefully left the room. When she reached the door, her timid and shy appearance had completely disappeared.
She smiled slightly and said, "Master didn't lie to me, this wine is truly wonderful..."
