Jia Xingtian's Regret

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, his shoulders trembled, and a pair of Azure Wings emerged from his back. The wings vibrated, and he slowly soared into the air, finally appearing above the huge head of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast.

"Who are you?" The enormous beastly eyes stared at the tiny figure before it. The water vapor emanating from the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's body suddenly diminished considerably. After a moment, it suddenly shouted, "Boy, how come you have such a strong fire attribute? Get away from me!"

Seeing the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's rather strong reaction, everyone was stunned for a moment. Then Xiao Yuan was the first to come back to his senses. He remembered the Fused Heavenly Flame in his body that was enough to rank among the top ten of the Heavenly Flame Ranking. He suddenly realized that this big guy was a Water Attribute magical beast. Naturally, it was extremely wary of Heavenly Flames. Moreover, the Heavenly Flames in his body was a fusion of three flames, so its power was even more terrifying. No wonder it had such an overreaction.

Just as the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast was somewhat alarmed, two whooshing sounds rang out from below. Jia Lao and the curious Zi Yan also darted up and finally hovered beside Xiao Yuan.

"Hehe, old man, don't panic. Mr. Xiao Yuan is an alchemist, and his body naturally has a very strong fire attribute aura. This Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill was made by him. However, if you want to fully catalyze the medicinal power, you still need some techniques, so please bear with it for a while," Jia Xingtian said with a smile.

Hearing Jia Xingtian's words, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast calmed down a bit, but it still dared not get too close to Xiao Yuan. Its condition was extremely poor, and the fire attribute aura in Xiao Yuan's body was far beyond that of ordinary Fire Attribute Douqi. If anything went wrong, it would probably lose its life here.

"This big guy is so big, but I didn't expect him to be so timid." Seeing the somewhat timid Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast, Zi Yan immediately teased.

"Little girl, are you looking for death?" Although the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast was wary of Xiao Yuan, it was naturally not afraid of Zi Yan, who was so small. Moreover, it was inherently violent and roared angrily.

"You big scoundrel, you dare to yell at me? You're asking for death!" Zi Yan, her ears ringing from the deafening thunder, put her slender hands on her waist and shouted angrily. As her shout fell, her jewel-like eyes were immediately filled with a purple light.

The enormous beastly eyes glared at Zi Yan before it. The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast was about to roar when it suddenly saw the strange purple light flashing in the latter's eyes. Instantly, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast felt an unusual pressure spreading from the depths of its soul without warning. At the very moment that pressure spread, the former's massive body also seemed to be subjected to some kind of pressure, and suddenly sank down.

Although its body sank for a moment before stabilizing, this caused a storm of shock within the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast. Its enormous beastly eyes were filled with astonishment and horror. With its strength, it could naturally see that Zi Yan was only at the Dou Wang Stage, yet the pressure it had felt earlier had indeed emanated from her body—bloodline pressure! This little girl was actually a magical beast? To be able to make me feel pressure and fear, what exactly was her true form? Could it be a bloodline inherited from ancient times? The giant eyes stared dumbfounded at Zi Yan before it. After a long while, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast suddenly let out a low, deep roar. If one listened closely, one could even sense a submissive quality in that sound.

The changes in the roar of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast naturally did not escape the attention of Jia Xingtian, who was extremely familiar with him. Although the latter's expression did not change much, he was extremely shocked. He glanced at Zi Yan beside Xiao Yuan with a hidden look in his eyes, feeling quite incredulous. This Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast could be considered a rather rare and powerful magical beast, otherwise it would be difficult to reach the sixth rank. However, even he was so wary of this little girl. Just who was this person?

Seeing that the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast had given in, Zi Yan pouted her pretty nose, made a face at Xiao Yuan beside her, and snorted triumphantly.

Xiao Yuan smiled and rubbed Zi Yan's little head, not at all surprised.

If the elders of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe knew that someone dared to speak to Zi Yan like that, they would slap them into mincemeat.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time." Xiao Yuan smiled at Jia Xingtian, then waved his hand, and the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill in his hand floated to his front. He then glanced at the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast and said, "Ready? It might hurt a little at the beginning."

"Thank you, sir." After what had just happened, even the ferocious nature of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast was no longer allowed to act so recklessly. Seeing that Xiao Yuan and Zi Yan seemed quite familiar with each other, it spoke to him with a bit more politeness.

Xiao Yuan smiled, and with a thought, a wisp of Cyan-Brown Flame enveloped the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill. With a flick of his finger, the flame carrying the pill flew to the top of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's head.

The pill was enveloped in flames. After a moment, Xiao Yuan changed his hand seals, and the Cyan-Brown Flame suddenly expanded. Under the intense heat, a rich azure light suddenly poured out from it, finally enveloping the massive body of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast below like a curtain of water. As the strange light enveloped it, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's body suddenly began to twist, seemingly in pain, and low roars echoed continuously, stirring up waves on the lake surface. Seeing the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast Jia Xingtian rubbed his hands, but looking at Xiao Yuan's solemn expression, he dared not make a sound to disturb him.

Of course, Xiao Yuan was very considerate. He immediately summoned the Jueyin Wind Wood Qi. The azure flames, carrying a vibrant aura, enveloped the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast. Instantly, the low roar disappeared, replaced by a comfortable murmur.

"Comfortable!"

The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast couldn't help but shake its large head and said with satisfaction.

Soon, Jia Xingtian was pleasantly surprised to see that the various wounds covering the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's body were gradually healing. Clearly, the strange azure light had a great effect on it. Under the pouring azure light, not only were the wounds on the surface of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast gradually healed, but even its previously somewhat weak aura was gradually rising. Feeling the aura emanating from the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast in front of him growing stronger, Jia Xingtian's joy grew even stronger. The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast had suffered many injuries in its early years fighting for the Imperial Family, but now, under the Hunyuan Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill, it was gradually recovering to its peak condition.

This is undoubtedly a joyous occasion for the Imperial Family.

The azure light pouring down from the sky lasted for about an hour. During this time, the Hunyuan Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill within the Cyan-Brown Flame shrank several times in size, indicating that most of its medicinal power had been evaporated. The azure light continued for another half hour before gradually weakening, and the area covered by the light shrank further. After a long while, with a deep, muffled thud, the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill completely turned into a pile of ashes, and the light completely dissipated.

The pill disappeared, and Xiao Yuan beckoned back the cyan flame. He clapped his hands and smiled at Jia Xingtian beside him, saying, "Its injuries have been completely healed. With a little rest, it will be able to return to its peak condition. It may even be able to take this opportunity to advance further."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao Yuan. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me. I will do my best to help you as far as I can."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian immediately became excited.

As Xiao Yuan Jia Xingtian were talking, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's tightly closed giant eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp aura surged out from its body, eventually enveloping the entire Back Mountain and startling countless birds and beasts into flight. Feeling the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's powerful aura, Xiao Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Such strength was indeed worth his effort. Although this would inevitably greatly increase the strength of the Imperial Family, for the Xiao Clan, having a powerful force to protect them would provide an extra layer of security.

Moreover, if he could heal the wounds of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast, he would naturally have a way to make it lose its fighting ability again.

Watching the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast roar excitedly to the sky, Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile. Under Yao Lao's tutelage, he naturally understood the importance of having a backup plan. Although his backup plan was somewhat ruthless, as long as the Imperial Family didn't go back on their word, everything would proceed in the best possible way. In fact, his backup plan might even become an aid for the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's future advancement! "In that case, I happen to need Jia Lao and the Imperial Family's help with something!"

Xiao Yuan cupped his hands in greeting and said without any politeness.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian was also taken aback, but quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Yuan, please speak."

"Jia Lao knows, I am still young and need to venture out for a few more years. The only thing I am worried about is my family. Therefore, after I leave, I hope Jia Lao can take care of my Xiao Clan. After all, apart from my younger brother Xiao Yan and me, there are no other experts in our family who are at the Dou Wang Stage or above."

Xiao Yuan said with a solemn expression.

"So that's what it is. Even if Mr. Xiao Yuan hadn't said anything, my Imperial Family would have taken care of the Xiao Clan family. Mr. Xiao Yuan has great potential and will surely become the guardian of my Jia Ma Empire in the future. That's why I won't let your Xiao Clan family suffer any injustice!"

Jia Xingtian cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said politely.

After all, the young man in front of us is not only a sixth-grade genius alchemist who can easily refine Sixth Grade Pill, but also a peerless expert who killed two Dou Zong at the Peak Dou Wang. Now that he has gone out for a trip and returned with such a surge in strength, his combat power is probably even more terrifying. The only thing to do is to befriend such a person.

"There's no need to go too far. If any clansmen have offended you, Jia Lao can go to my father to handle the matter. My Xiao Clan does not support spoiled brats. If anyone dares to make things difficult for Jia Lao and the Imperial Family, they can be dealt with according to the rules. Xiao Yan and I are working hard to cultivate outside in the hope that the family can have a good environment for development, but we do not want any parasites to appear."

Xiao Yuan knew that Jia Xingtian would likely open the door to convenience for the Xiao Clan, but the Xiao Clan had been used to a life of hardship, and if their lives suddenly became too good, some people might not be able to control themselves and could easily cause problems. Xiao Yuan could not tolerate such people.

Although the Xiao Clan family, as one of the Ancient Eight Clans fell into decline, has very strict rules, now that he is the strongest member of the family, his words carry more weight than his father, Xiao Zhan, the clan leader.

Ultimately, in the Douqi Continent, strength reigns supreme.

"Since Mr. Xiao Yuan says so, I have no more reservations. Rest assured, from now on, the Xiao Clan will be the best friend of my Imperial Family. You can go out and make your way in the world. Leave the affairs of the Jia Ma Empire to me."

Jia Xingtian smiled upon hearing this. Xiao Yuan's words relieved him of a lot of worries. The young man's decisiveness was truly endearing.

Unfortunately, the young man's gaze barely lingered on Yao Ye, clearly indicating that there was no chance of a marriage alliance.

What a pity!

"Now that this matter is settled, I should take my leave. I've been away from home for many days and haven't even had a chance to visit my family. They must be getting impatient."

After explaining the situation, Xiao Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to Jia Xingtian and the others, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao Yuan, won't you have a meal before you leave? I've already sent someone to prepare a banquet."

Jia Xingtian quickly said.

"I certainly won't refuse Jia Lao hospitality, but I need to go home first. I'll bring more people over tonight. I'm sure you wouldn't mind having a few more chopsticks, would Jia Lao?"

Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Oh, alright then, see you later. Yao Ye, could you see Mr. Xiao Yuan off for me? I need to have a chat with Fa Lao."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded and gave instructions to Yao Ye.

"Yes, Great-Grandpa." Yao Ye nodded, then looked at Xiao Yuan, smiled slightly, and gestured with her hand, "Mr. Xiao Yuan, I'll see you off."

Tsk, the old man still won't give up? Sending me someone who can't Douqi Transformation Wings, isn't he just hoping to make the journey a bit longer?

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Yes, thank you for your trouble Princess Yao Ye."

After saying that, the two of them headed down the mountain.

Watching the two walk further and further away, Jia Xingtian sighed with regret.

How did the Mittel Family manage to snatch up such a talented young man?

"Tsk tsk, you're really willing to do that. Yao Ye is supposed to be the future Empress of the Jia Ma Empire, right? You're willing to let her be Xiao Yuan's concubine?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Fa Ma's cloudy old eyes.

"It's difficult. Ya Fei and Xiao Yu both have feelings for Xiao Yuan that they developed during their youth. Yun Yun, that girl, probably also has some connection with Xiao Yuan. In addition, she is strong enough to keep up with Xiao Yuan's pace. In general, they all have some feelings for Xiao Yuan. It can be seen that although Xiao Yuan is fond of women, he has his own principles."

Compared to them, Yao Ye has little chance of winning. I'm just making some efforts. Imperial Capital so many talented young men in the capital, Yao Ye doesn't seem to care about any of them, but Xiao Yuan probably won't have those kinds of thoughts about her.

Sometimes I even wish Xiao Yuan were a bit more lustful and took a liking to Yao Ye, so I could submit to his lewd power and marry Yao Ye off. After all, Yao Ye already has feelings for him, and for the Imperial Family, this would only bring benefits, not harm.

Jia Xingtian's eyes held a complex expression, but more than anything, it was filled with regret.

Having seen a prodigy like Xiao Yuan, it's likely that no one else will be able to catch Yao Ye's eye in the future.

"Tsk, it's a good thing I don't have a granddaughter, so I don't have to worry about such things."

Fa Ma stroked his beard, and surprisingly, there was a hint of pride in his words.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian shook his head helplessly. He was also confused. Why was he talking to this old man whose mind was full of alchemy?
