Chapter 1452: The Little Sister-in-Law’s Concerns

Chapter 1452: Chapter 1452: The Little Sister-in-Law’s Concerns

Yang Yan couldn’t care less about how much attention he attracted, even the Hidden World’s space seemed unable to withstand such pressure.

Finally, about half an hour later, Qi Tianya, towering into the sky, appeared in Yang Yan’s view.

Qi Tianya, a cliff high enough to rush straight into the clouds.

Although it’s an exaggeration, standing at the edge, piles of clouds beneath as if it could align with the heavens, quite spectacular.

It’s said that if lucky at this cliffside, one could directly converse with an Immortal.

Of course, Yang Yan scoffed at such tales.

However, there is indeed likely a superpower nearby.

The place is shrouded in mist, with a faint Spiritual Qi rising, making it an ideal spot for cultivation.

A moment later, Yang Yan appeared atop the cliff.

His pace halted, standing directly at the edge.

Sweeping his gaze afar, it fell upon a steep mountain cliff concealed in thick clouds.

There, a woman in tight attire stood alone, silently gazing ahead.

Bathed in the evening glow, her delicate features sparkled like jade, akin to a jewel adorning this celestial world.

Her long, black, smooth hair draped freely, adding a touch of Immortal Qi to her otherwise lively demeanor.

Yang Yan approached slowly, his footsteps softly audible.

Just as he neared the woman, she slowly turned her head: "Yang Yan, I knew you’d come!"

Yang Yan frowned slightly upon hearing her call out his name.

In his memory, Miss Zhou Er always addressed him as brother-in-law.

"So you did it on purpose?" Yang Yan asked lightly.

Zhou Hanyu raised her eyebrows, steadfastly staring into Yang Yan’s eyes, "What’s wrong? I just wanted to make you anxious!"

Not unexpectedly, as she spoke, Miss Zhou Er’s eyes sparkled with a glistening shimmer.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Zhou Hanyu let out a soft cry.

She could hardly believe it; Yang Yan held her in his arms!

"You, you, you..."

Panic-stricken, Zhou Hanyu wanted to say something, but couldn’t utter a word.

"What’s wrong? Isn’t this what you wished for?" Yang Yan whispered gently by her ear.

Zhou Hanyu said nothing, only answering Yang Yan with action.

She dared not kiss his lips; perhaps in her mind, such matters should be initiated by the man.

But she boldly held onto him, snuggling closer to his embrace.

She loved Yang Yan’s solid chest.

Once she had been held in his arms.

But back then, she dared not reveal her feelings for him.

He kept reminding himself that this guy belonged to her sister.

Yet, in these years, during the over three-year period of Yang Yan’s absence, she practically dreamt of his figure constantly.

Upon meeting today, this guy’s eyes surprisingly had only her sister, turning everyone else into the background.

She could no longer endure.

Initially, it was merely a prank, just wanting to make Yang Yan anxious.

She enjoyed watching this man’s anxious demeanor.

Especially worrying on her behalf.

Yet soon she changed her mind; she needed to confess boldly once.

She had been standing here for a long time, her heart continuously brewing emotions.

Even rehearsing the affectionate words she wished to say to Yang Yan in her mind repeatedly.

She believed herself mature enough, with everything ready except for the final push.

Regrettably, Yang Yan’s proactive embrace completely disrupted her rhythm.

In an instant, all previously prepared words vanished without a trace, beyond retrieval.

"What’s wrong? Are you troubled by something?" Yang Yan gently asked in her ear, while tenderly stroking her back.

The two were very close; Yang Yan’s each word caused warmth to brush over her ears, that tingling sensation made Zhou Hanyu’s body tense slightly, thus she tightened her hold, seemingly wanting to bury herself entirely into his body.

Feeling Zhou Hanyu’s entire body soften, Yang Yan finally stopped teasing her.

Actually, before coming, he knew well that rejecting Miss Zhou Er would be difficult for him.

Moreover, with a heavenly disaster impending, no one could predict the future path.

Since he felt something for Zhou Hanyu, why refuse, causing her sorrow and making himself uncomfortable?

After all, Zhou Hanyu was a young girl untutored in worldly affairs; although usually bold, she gradually seemed to extricate herself from such emotions, slightly pulling her body, attempting to escape Yang Yan’s embrace.

"What’s wrong?" Yang Yan asked somewhat suspiciously, but made no move to let go.

"Brother...brother-in-law, let go of me first..." Zhou Hanyu’s cheeks flushed red, stammering.

"Brother-in-law?" Yang Yan chuckled softly, feigning innocence, "Wasn’t it just now calling Yang Yan so fluently, holding tightly enough, why the sudden attempt to get away with it?"

"You..." Zhou Hanyu’s expression changed, then softened, saying in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, I was wrong, let go of me first, please?"

Yang Yan did release her, but firmly grasped her with one hand, seriously asking: "Is there something on your mind?"

Zhou Hanyu bit her lip, finally gathering courage, staring into Yang Yan’s eyes: "Of course, because only my sister is visible in your eyes, it’s difficult for me to understand."

"Because of this?" Yang Yan suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at? What’s so funny!" Zhou Hanyu glared at Yang Yan, momentarily reverting to her usual Miss Zhou Er demeanor.

Yet this time, Yang Yan wasn’t fazed, with a smile he continued asking: "Be honest!"

Zhou Hanyu originally appeared assertive, but faced with Yang Yan’s cheerful gaze, soon crumbled.

Zhou Hanyu stammered, "Alright! I just somewhat hate myself for being unable to assist you."

"How could that be?" Yang Yan laughed heartily, saying, "Your safety by my side is the greatest help to me."

Zhou Hanyu shook her head persistently, saying somewhat stubbornly, "You needn’t console me, not just me, including my sister, Becky, they’re unable to aid you like Nie Suyuan, merely becoming burdens at times, left to pray for you."

Hearing this name, Yang Yan’s lips twitched slightly, involuntarily showing a bitter smile.

That woman isn’t as you imagine...

"I also want to cultivate, even if unable to aid you, at least have the ability to protect myself, not become a burden." Zhou Hanyu suddenly looked up at Yang Yan, her eyes filled with determination.

Yang Yan shook his head, patting Zhou Hanyu’s head, speaking earnestly: "Silly girl, cultivation is tiring, you’ve tried before."

Zhou Hanyu gritted her teeth harshly: "I was too young and naïve back then, but these three years I figured it out, I must cultivate. Although I tried hard, still a novice, it’s meaningless. Brother-in-law, as long as I can be by your side, nothing else matters, I can overcome any hardship."
