Red Long Kui, A Sister's Love

Xiao Se shook his head and smiled. "I'm fine, just a little exhausted. Do you know what just happened?"

"Long Kui doesn't know." Long Kui slightly raised her beautiful, fair chin, her gaze somewhat evasive.

"Long Kui, can you turn red too?" Xiao Se asked.

"Brother, I..."

Before Long Kui could finish, Xiao Se continued, "Brother doesn't dislike you. No matter what you become, you'll always be my dearest, dearest family."

"Mm." Long Kui nodded slightly.

"Can you let me see what you look like when you're red?" Xiao Se asked curiously.

"Th-this..." Long Kui froze slightly. Then a burst of red light erupted from her body. In an instant, her hair, Wide Sleeve Flowing Fairy Dress, and pupils all turned red. Even her bust seemed to have grown a little.

At the same time, her entire temperament underwent a complete transformation.

If Lan Kui in her original form was gentle as water, shy, and quiet, then Hong Kui, her other form, was fierce-tempered, fiery, and bold.

"Brother..." Red Long Kui's transformation was complete.

"Sob, sob..."

After quite a while, Hong Kui seemed to have teased him enough and finally released Xiao Se.

Seeing Xiao Se's face flushed bright red, Hong Kui pinched his little cheek. "Wow, Brother, your cheeks are so soft. I never expected Brother to be so handsome and adorable when he was little in this life."

"Cough, cough..." Resisting the urge to get a nosebleed, Xiao Se cleared his throat. "Um, Long Kui, be more careful in the future."

"Hehe..." Xiao Se's reminder curved Hong Kui's beautiful eyes into shallow crescents. She leaned close to his ear and breathed out an intoxicating breath, whispering, "I'll only do things like this to Brother."

"Ow, ow..." Resisting the urge to take Hong Kui right then and there, Xiao Se gave her little head a chop and said sternly, "Long Kui, girls need to learn restraint. You can't act like this. Also, pull up the clothes around your chest a little. Look at how well you do it when you're blue—very conservative."

Hong Kui rubbed her painless little head, pouted, and argued reasonably, "Just now, I clearly heard Brother's heartbeat speed up a lot. Based on male physiological reactions, Brother wanted to push Long Kui down."

At that, Hong Kui turned her head aside and said softly, "It's not like I get to decide the size of the clothes. The original body and I wear the same outfit; it's just that mine are bigger than hers."

"Hey, hey... I heard that, Long Kui. Be careful, or I'll tell your original body!" Xiao Se complained.

"Brother, don't..." Hong Kui hurriedly stopped him. "If you tell the original body, she'll get angry. Then she won't let me come out anymore."

Seeing the urgency on Hong Kui's pretty face, Xiao Se smiled faintly and pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry. Whether you're red or blue, I'll protect both of you as always. Thank you for using your Soul Power to repair my damaged Meridians just now. But I don't want you to use it so casually again."

Hong Kui's power came from the millennium of Ghost Power in the Sword and Fairy World.

But this world only had Soul Power and Dou Qi.

In a soul state, absorbing Dou Qi restored Soul Power extremely slowly. Unless one had a miraculous medicine that restored Soul Power, like Seven Spirit Illusion Saliva, saying that every bit used was one bit less would not be an exaggeration.

"Brother, Long Kui understands." Hong Kui naturally understood Xiao Se's concerns. But when Xiao Se encountered danger again, she would still save him without hesitation.

With a flash of blue light, Hong Kui returned to her original blue state. Lan Kui leaned blankly against Xiao Se's chest. Though somewhat shy, she did not leave. Instead, she opened her arms, hugged Xiao Se, and asked softly, "Brother, what did you say to the red me just now? She... didn't do anything excessive, did she?"

Hong Kui's personality was the complete opposite of Lan Kui's. In Lan Kui's mind, she had already imagined Hong Kui secretly doing shameful things to Xiao Se behind her back.

"Cough, cough, it was nothing... Red is quite good. No matter which you it is, you're both wonderful." Xiao Se gave Lan Kui a thumbs-up.

Hearing Xiao Se's words, Lan Kui sighed in relief and changed the subject. "Brother, you've successfully subdued the source Beast Flame of the Fifth Order Magical Beast, the Fire Devouring Flood Dragon. Why not test its power?"

Xiao Se nodded slightly and raised his right hand. The Dou Qi within his body flowed through his veins into his arm before finally emerging from his palm, where it rose into a cluster of blue-white flames.

The instant the flames rose, the temperature in the entire Stone Chamber increased by several degrees.

"So this is Beast Flame?" Feeling the change in the surrounding temperature, Long Kui's eyes widened as she curiously stared at the blue-white flames in Xiao Se's hand.

"Mm." Xiao Se nodded and smiled, handing her a Ring that was red on the outside and blue within. "Long Kui, next I'll be Devouring Beast Fire to advance the Burning Art. If you have nothing to do, you can return to the Demon Sword Space, stay here and read, or do embroidery. This low-grade Ring contains everything you need."

"Thank you, Brother..." Long Kui knew that after subduing the Beast Flame, devouring it would not pose much danger, so she accepted the Ring without worry.

Two hours later, the Beast Flame had been completely devoured. The pale yellow Dou Qi Cyclone within Xiao Se's body had entirely transformed into blue-white.

"I never expected my cultivation to jump directly from a one-star Dou Zhe to a four-star Dou Zhe. The Burning Art also evolved from Yellow Low Grade to Yellow Middle Grade. It seems that although this Beast Flame isn't as high-grade as the Purple Flame Xiao Yan cultivated through the Amethyst Accompanying Source in the original work, as the source Beast Flame within a Fifth Order Magical Beast, the Fire Devouring Flood Dragon, its energy is far more powerful."

Originally, after nearly a month of grueling cultivation, Xiao Se had been just one step away from becoming a two-star Dou Zhe. But devouring the Beast Flame this time had directly allowed him to cross that threshold, while its remaining energy had raised him another two stars.

"Brother, I can feel that you've become much stronger." Seeing Xiao Se awaken, Long Kui put down the book in her hand, happily ran to his side, and wrapped her arms around his arm.

"Mm, I have indeed become much stronger. Next, I can properly cultivate the Fire Control Incantation Dou Technique, Crimson Flame Sword." Xiao Se nodded slightly and raised his right hand. A simple, ancient Long Sword formed from blue-white flames condensed in his palm.

Ding. The one-month period has arrived. The exchange attempts have refreshed. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one exchange opportunity.

Xiao Se casually took out a scroll containing precious images of *** and called out in his mind, "System, exchange this scroll."

What he lacked most now were Dou Techniques. Relying on just one Mysterious High Rank Dou Technique, "Crimson Flame Sword," would not be enough.
