"My Heavenly Flame!"
Xiao Yan cried out urgently, sending out a strand of Soul Power in an attempt to control the Heavenly Flame and bring it back into his hand. Yet he could only watch helplessly as his Heavenly Flame drifted away, finally hovering in Xiao Han's palm.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, his mind filled with confusion. That pink Heavenly Flame was his Heavenly Flame. Without his permission and without being unbound, how could it possibly answer anyone else's summons?
"That flame... feels so familiar!"
Yun Yun furrowed her brows. For some reason, that pink Heavenly Flame gave her an incredibly intimate feeling. It was like the wondrous connection between a mother and child.
"Master, do you know it?"
Nalan Yanran, standing beside Yun Yun, asked aloud.
Yun Yun nodded. "Yes."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran grew puzzled. "Master, what kind of Heavenly Flame is that? Why is there no record of it in the Heavenly Flame Ranking?"
"I don't know."
Yun Yun shook her head faintly. Because Xiao Han possessed Heavenly Flames, Yun Yun had browsed through some materials whenever she had free time. Nalan Yanran was right; that Heavenly Flame truly did not belong to any of the Heavenly Flames listed in the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
"Could it be..."
Seeing how affectionate that Heavenly Flame was toward Xiao Han, a flash of realization suddenly appeared in Yun Yun's eyes. Immediately afterward, even her ears turned red. Scenes from the past kept surfacing in her mind.
In the sky, Xiao Yan asked in disbelief, "How is that possible? How could my Heavenly Flame answer your summons?"
A smug curve formed at Xiao Han's lips. "Want to know?"
Xiao Yan nodded instinctively.
Xiao Han smiled. "That's because... this Heavenly Flame of yours was artificially created."
"Nonsense. It isn't a Heavenly Flame
