Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Sub-flame

After staying in Han Yue's room for about two hours, the two had said more or less everything that should and should not have been said. Seeing that the sky had begun to darken, Xiao Ling bade Han Yue farewell and left her room.

After leaving Han Yue's room, Xiao Ling planned to go chat with Xiao Xun'er for a while. After all, he could not favor one over the other, and Xiao Xun'er had been by his side the longest.

This time, Xiao Ling did not conceal his aura. Ling Ying, who was not far outside Xiao Xun'er's room, quickly noticed someone heading toward his young lady's room.

He casually glanced over and saw that it was the brat who had stolen his young lady's heart. He did not think much of it; he had seen this sort of thing plenty of times. It was neither his place nor his right to interfere. No longer paying attention to what was happening here, Ling Ying resumed his cultivation.

Arriving before Xiao Xun'er's door, Xiao Ling gently knocked and shook the little bell hanging outside. He called into the room, "Xun'er, it's me."

Xiao Xun'er was currently regulating her breathing in the Training Room. Hearing Xiao Ling's voice from outside, she briefly tidied her appearance, tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear, and said gently toward the door, "Brother Xiao Ling, I'll come open the door right away."

Before long, Xiao Xun'er stepped lightly to the door and opened it. Xiao Ling stood with his back to the moonlight, looking her over. The faint white glow on his body made him seem as though the moon goddess had draped him in a thin veil, elegant and mysterious.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er poke her head out from inside, Xiao Ling reached out and rubbed her head. Only after Xiao Xun'er shot him a fierce glare did he withdraw his hand and say with a smile, "I'm heading out to train tomorrow. I want to spend a little more time with Xun'er tonight. You don't mind, do you?"

Xiao Xun'er nodded, opened the door wider, and walked into the room. As she fixed her hair, she said to Xiao Ling, "Brother Xiao Ling, you messed up the hair I just finished arranging again. How awful."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling scratched his head and answered somewhat embarrassedly, "Wasn't it because Xun'er was just too cute? I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself."

After chatting and laughing for a while, the two sat down on the sofa in the living room. When Xiao Ling carefully examined Xiao Xun'er's complexion again, he saw that although her face was rosy, she seemed exhausted. Xiao Ling frowned and asked in confusion, "Xun'er, are you tired? Why do you look so listless?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's concerned question, Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly and said, "Didn't Brother Xiao Ling say before that you wanted to find a Heavenly Flame?"

Hearing that, Xiao Ling stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "I did mention that before. Why are you bringing it up now, Xun'er?"

Since the Fen Jue had remained only at the low Xuan rank, Xiao Ling had briefly brought up the matter before. At the time, he had merely complained that his cultivation method's rank was too low. Since he knew where the Heavenly Flames were located, he was not in much of a hurry.

Resting a finger against her chin, Xiao Xun'er said playfully, "Brother Xiao Ling, didn't Xun'er tell you before that I have a Heavenly Flame? Since you're leaving to train tomorrow, I separated a sub-flame from it. I planned to give it to you as a farewell gift. With this sub-flame by your side, you'll be safer out there, and Xun'er will be much more at ease. Wait a moment, I'll take it out now."

After speaking, Xiao Xun'er rose and returned to her bedroom. She took out a porcelain bottle, within which flickered a golden flame. The blazing fire danced lively inside, as though it possessed intelligence.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was somewhat dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. He was both surprised that Xiao Xun'er had actually separated a sub-flame for him and worried whether it would affect her body.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's tone became more serious as he asked worriedly, "Xun'er, how is your condition? Will this have any effect on you?"

Hearing that Xiao Ling had not focused on the Heavenly Flame but was instead concerned about her condition, Xiao Xun'er's lips curled upward slightly, and warmth filled her heart. As expected, in Brother Xiao Ling's eyes, I'm the most important one.

Xiao Xun'er first waved her hand, then raised the porcelain bottle and pointed at the flame dancing within. In a gentle tone, she said, "This flame is called the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. It ranks fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking and is an inherited Heavenly Flame of my clan. It will not actively harm me, and it has developed a certain degree of intelligence. If it did not listen to me, this porcelain bottle would never be able to contain it. Separating a sub-flame has some effect, but it does not have much of a Side Effect on me. I merely overused my Soul Power. My cultivation is still too low at present, and I cannot yet bring out this Heavenly Flame's true might. The sub-flame I extracted is only the tip of the iceberg compared to its main body, so Brother Xiao Ling does not need to worry too much about me."

After hearing Xiao Xun'er's explanation, Xiao Ling finally relaxed. Looking into her autumn-water eyes, he said seriously, "In the future, don't ever do anything foolish that could harm yourself. Take good care of your health."

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly and said to Xiao Ling, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao Ling. Xun'er still knows clearly what can and cannot be done." After speaking, she walked over to Xiao Ling and held out the porcelain bottle containing the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Sub-flame. "Now that this sub-flame has been separated, it cannot be taken back. Brother Xiao Ling, please accept this gift. When you train outside in the future, let it accompany you in my place."

Xiao Ling was not one to put on airs, nor was he incapable of accepting being supported by a woman. Without much hesitation, he reached out and accepted the porcelain bottle containing the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame Sub-flame. "Thank you, Xun'er. This gift is very precious and will help me greatly. I will make good use of this sub-flame."

Seeing Xiao Ling accept the porcelain bottle, Xiao Xun'er continued, "Although this sub-flame does not contain much energy, it carries some of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame's Origin Power. Once you refine this sub-flame, as Brother Xiao Ling's strength increases, it will continue growing stronger as well, until it reaches its growth limit."

Xiao Ling knew a little about this. The Nihility Devouring Flame had separated many sub-flames. Some were of relatively high grade and carried some of the Nihility Devouring Flame's Origin Power, while others did not contain Origin Power. Their might and growth limits differed accordingly.
