Chapter 484: Chapter 316: Hoping Day After Day

...

Yan Xiaobao is not stupid. He knows it’s impossible for the city to have no poor people, and he believes the poor are driven off the streets, making it harder for them to beg for food.

Sha Yun was very direct in her approach. She refused to give up, as Yan Xiaobao had already paid some attention to Wang Julong. Once they left the ship, Hui Yue was dragged across a street on the way to the city’s largest market.

Going out with Sha Yun was like going out with a girl in his previous life. They would see anything from clothing to jewelry. Unlike other worlds, they would also look at weapons, pills, and armor. After viewing the items, they bought some snacks and spent most of their time wandering around, looking at one stall after another.

By evening, Sha Yun had been gifted a set of bracelets by Yan Xiaobao. Now, the two friends were heading toward the courtyard, where everyone awaited them.

Seeing the Snake Woman so happy, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but feel happy as well. Sha Yun was one of his closest friends. She was someone he could trust unconditionally, always there to serve him. The emotions Yan Xiaobao felt were definitely feelings of gratitude and happiness.

However, recently another emotion stirred within him, and it surfaced again today when he saw the pearl white hairpin. Before realizing it, Yan Xiaobao had bought the hairpin, imagining how beautiful it would look in Wang Julong’s hair, his heart started racing.

Even now, when they were alone together, he was happy to see her face when he handed it to her.

Sha Yun’s face was full of smiles, yet she noticed a sad expression flashing across the young man beside her because she remembered the excited look on his face when he bought the hairpin.

Sha Yun knew what Yan Xiaobao was thinking when purchasing the item. Although he bought her a set of bracelets, that knowledge deeply hurt her heart.

The sadness on the Snake Woman’s face quickly turned from sadness to determination and then back to a happy smile. Her thoughts vanished into sorrow. From the start, she knew she might not win Yan Xiaobao’s love, but still, she hoped day by day.

At first, she didn’t know if her unrequited love would come true, but as she got older, she felt more that she was only treated as a friend. Her only happiness was that Wang Julong treated her the same way. Unfortunately, this seemed to have changed recently.

Yan Xiaobao looked at the black-haired woman, his eyes full of playful smiles, filled with amusement that Sha Yun had never seen directed at anyone other than herself.

Whenever she felt awkward, he would laugh and make her feel embarrassed without reservation. It was something he had never done before.

It’s not just small things like this, but also the fact that he often seemed distracted when looking at her. All these things were visible to Sha Yun, who spent her time by his side. These facts brought great sadness to the Snake Woman, who refused to give up, despite Yan Xiaobao seemingly looking at another girl.

As they walked back to the courtyard, they talked about training. Yan Xiaobao was uncertain if he could achieve another breakthrough in a year, but Sha Yun supported him as always. Being a magical beast very similar to humans, the Snake Woman sighed deeply, wondering if she would soon reach the Master level.

As a magical beast, her fusion with the elements was completely different from that of humans. If she were to increase her rank to Master, she would be able to merge further with the current elements. This would significantly enhance her strength; although she might not be able to defeat Yan Xiaobao, she would certainly be able to win this battle greatly.

Back at the courtyard, Yan Xiaobao noticed new guards standing at the gate, but upon seeing the two approaching, they respectfully bowed and opened the door.

Having spent most of his time outside, Yan Xiaobao headed straight to the training room, where he sat down to start cultivating. He knew it might not be possible to reach the Duke level within the given time, but as long as there was even a half-chance of success, the young man would do everything he could to achieve it.

When he entered the training room, he was shocked to see Wang Julong already sitting inside with Deng Wu. Both were deep in meditation, and the thick air was full of the essence of heaven and earth, running ceaselessly, inhaled and exhaled by the two cultivators as they absorbed it to their heart’s content.

Seeing Wang Julong there, Yan Xiaobao quietly approached her and placed her gift in front of her. As he looked at those calm and peaceful beautiful features while she focused on cultivating, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Not wanting to disturb her cultivation, Yan Xiaobao withdrew so slowly. He walked away slowly, found a place in the room to sit, and began to breathe steadily. He closed his eyes and enhanced his cultivation techniques.

Following Yan Xiaobao into the room, Sha Yun saw the pain in her eyes, but she quickly choked down all the negative emotions and tightly embraced her white-haired friend, almost cultivating together with them.

Yan Xiaobao wasn’t so blind, nor did he fail to notice Sha Yun’s feelings for him, but her back in Liluo City was very stiff and directly told her it wasn’t mutual.
