We Owe Him Too Much

Those inside the palace sensed Xiao Tian's presence and withdrew from their cultivation, flashing over to open the palace gates.

"Tian Ge, what brings you here? Is something the matter?" Xiao Yan asked Xiao Tian with a puzzled look.

"What? Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?" Xiao Tian said with a laugh.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Tianyi teasingly, "Tian Ge, don't I know you and me? If you can lie down, you won't stand up. If there's nothing wrong, you'll definitely be lying dead in your pavilion."

"Let's go inside and talk." Xiao Tian didn't sense Nalan Yanran's presence inside, so she must have left. Xiao Tian put his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulder and headed into the palace.

In the front hall of Xiao Yan's palace, the two sat side by side.

"I've come to give you two good things," Xiao Tian said mysteriously.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up immediately. If Xiao Tian could call something a good thing, then it must be extraordinary. After all, his Tian Ge had very high standards.

Seeing Xiao Yan's greedy appearance, he couldn't help but smile. This was the trump card from his previous plan.

The plan is called "Transmigration: Make the Flame Emperor Work for Me".

With the continuous benefits from Xiao Tian, coupled with Nalan Yanran's influence, Xiao Yan recently officially took over as the Chief Alchemist of the Free and Unfettered Hall's Pill Hall. Now it's time to deliver the final blow and completely lock him onto the Free and Unfettered Hall's war chariot.

Xiao Tian waved his hand, and a stream of jade-white light fell to the ground.

Upon seeing the item on the ground, Xiao Yan jumped up, exclaiming, "Holy crap!! Tian Ge, you actually got your hands on this! I thought I'd been sucked into that Void Space created by that Dou Technique!"

"At the time, I noticed that after he used his Dou Technique, his remaining consciousness had weakened considerably. So I took action to erase his remaining consciousness and then collected it away. That's why the Dou Technique stopped and didn't continue to spread." Xiao Tian was also giving a slight lie.

"Tian Ge is so righteous. If it hadn't been stopped back then, perhaps even more people would have died." Xiao Yan kept examining the white jade-like skeleton in front of him. This was Dou Sheng, a figure at the top of the pyramid, someone who could wipe out a city with a wave of his hand.

"Tian Ge, why did you take this out?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's for you. Well, consider it a reward for being the Chief Alchemist. The Pill Hall's revenue is currently the highest in the entire Pill Hall."

"Tian Ge, what are you saying? Free and Unfettered Hall is my home, and you and I are brothers. Besides, this is simply my duty. There's no need for any reward."

"This thing will be much more useful to you than leaving it with me. With this skeleton, it will be of the greatest help in your teacher's resurrection. Perhaps he can even use this opportunity to leap to the Dou Sheng realm." Seeing that Xiao Yan wanted to say something more, Xiao Tian hurriedly interrupted, "Alright, stop being so coy. I don't want to run around with a skeleton. I haven't finished talking about the things yet; there are still some good things here."

Xiao Tian flipped his hand, and a bright red flame appeared in his palm. With a flick of his finger, the flame directly burned the three ribs on the skeleton's waist and abdomen, and many strange characters began to appear on the ribs.

"This? Could it be?" Xiao Yan recalled what Xiao Tian had said when he asked Xiao Tian if the ten orbs of light contained any Heavenly Rank scrolls, and a vague guess formed in his mind.

"It's exactly what you're thinking. This is Heaven Rank Dou Skill, the Great Heaven Creation Palm." Xiao Tian withdrew the flames and nodded slightly.

"Tian Ge. This Dou Technique is indeed quite terrifying." Xiao Yan also recalled that halo. He had to be frank that if he hadn't run fast, he would have been sucked in. Even with his teacher Ghost Possession, he might have had to pay a huge price to escape.

"I don't want this. You keep it. This thing can only be used for cultivation by one person at the moment, because cultivation requires a special thing inside the ribs to assist it. I also have many Dou Technique, and your sister-in-law and the others don't need it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with emotion. Tian Ge was still as good to him as ever. The Dou Sheng Skeleton and Heaven Rank Dou Skill were enough to drive people crazy outside, and even fathers and sons would turn against each other.

Now that Tian Ge knows he really needs this, he gave it to me without hesitation. Tian Ge is so good to me, I'm so happy I could cry.

He has always cared for me since I was a child, and now that I'm grown up, he hasn't changed at all. He's still as good as ever, or even better. If anyone ever goes against Tian Ge, I will kill their entire family.

"Alright, stop spacing out and hurry up and pack your things." Xiao Tian patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said softly.

"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded heavily, his eyes red-rimmed, and accepted the gifts with a resolute expression without further hesitation.

A man doesn't easily shed tears; it's just that the emotions haven't reached their peak.

Xiao Tian seemed to remember something, "Oh, right, the cultivation conditions for the Great Heaven Creation Palm are quite special. You should study it and see if you can pass on this Dou Technique and figure out what's needed for its cultivation. If you can, it can become the ultimate skill of the Free and Unfettered Hall, and then you'll have done immeasurable merit."

"I'll try my best." Xiao Yan nodded heavily.

"Then you and your teacher can think about it slowly. I'll head back now." Xiao Tian's figure gradually disappeared from the spot.

"Creak!"

The front door was opened, and a figure walked in—it was Nalan Yanran.

"Huh, isn't this the skeleton from the ruins? How did it end up here? Did you find it?" Nalan Yanran asked in surprise, looking at the white, jade-like skeleton in front of her.

Xiao Yan briefly explained the origin of the skeleton.

"My master's husband is so good to you. These two things are priceless treasures outside, and he just gave them to you like this." Nalan Yanran sighed and continued, "Our family owes him so much, we must repay him properly."

"Yes, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Xiao Tian held Nalan Yanran in his arms, stroking her hair, and said softly.

Three days later, in Saint Pill City, at the Pill Tower.

In a room on the top floor of the Pill Tower, a man in black Xuan Yi lay on top of Xiao Tian, his face flushed, drawing circles on his body. "You super-transformed giant radish, what's going on between you and Ying Er?"

Xuan Yi even suspected that the last time the other party asked for her in the office, it was because they were after those intelligence materials. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they appeared just when she was reviewing all the information?

Xiao Tian briefly recounted what had happened in the Secret Realm.

"Then why did you provoke me?" Xuan Yi grabbed Xiao Tian's vital spot, her eyes narrowing as she looked at him. "You already have twin sisters, you wouldn't be thinking of adding another one, like an aunt and niece, would you? That's your preference." (Master's junior sister, the same as aunt, don't argue.)
