Xiao Yan stood steadily before the stone platform, his gaze profound.
He stared at that wisp of newly born Fallen Heart Flame.
The corners of his lips curled slightly into a faint smile.
He murmured softly:
"Don't be afraid, little one. It's your turn now."
However, Xiao Yan was in no hurry to devour this wisp of Fallen Heart Flame.
He had already devoured a complete Fallen Heart Flame!
Devouring another fledgling flame—
would not exactly be useless to him, but it would only be a minor benefit at best!
He slowly turned around, his gaze passing over Cai Lin and Zi Yan in turn.
A meaningful glint flashed through his eyes:
"We'll continue downward."
Xiao Yan's voice was low, yet brooked no doubt.
Cai Lin was slightly startled upon hearing this.
Her delicate brows furrowed gently:
"Further down?"
"The temperature below is already absurdly high."
"If we continue deeper, I'm afraid we won't even see any living creatures."
Xiao Yan smiled calmly.
"Don't worry. There are still plenty of little cuties down there."
"With me here, nothing will happen!"
"Besides, I can sense an unexpected opportunity hidden below."
Zi Yan blinked curiously, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.
To put it plainly, it was innocent foolishness. She could not wait to ask:
"What opportunity?"
"Is there anything tasty?"
Xiao Yan did not answer her directly. Instead, he circulated his spiritual energy.
Using voice transmission, he told Zi Yan and Cai Lin certain hidden matters.
His steady, solemn voice slowly rang out in their minds.
His tone was exceptionally serious. There was no need to hide it from Zi Yan, since she would return sooner or later:
"Zi Yan, you are not an orphan without parents."
"You are the noble Young Master of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan..."
