Fallen Heart Flame's Sub-Flame

"You three go ahead to the training grounds and wait for me; I'll come by later," Xiao Yi said to the three people behind him, then headed straight toward the senior students' area. He still had something to discuss with Tang Ya.

For one, he had seen Tang Ya's reaction yesterday. Although he currently had no solution for the potential of her Blue Silver Grass—he only knew there was another Blue Silver Emperor on the Sun Moon Continent, but not its exact location—he did have a way to solve the problem of Tang Ya's slow cultivation.

Upon reaching the building for the senior students, Xiao Yi ran straight into Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.

"Xiao Yi, why are you here?"

Tang Ya looked at Xiao Yi with pleasant surprise. She swung her high ponytail, leaped into his arms, and nuzzled against him.

In a dark corner not far away, Bei Bei watched this scene. Even though he had long anticipated it, his heart still couldn't help but twist with pain. This was truly too agonizing!

Yet, he had no standing to say anything at this moment. He still remembered the radiant smile on Tang Ya's face when she happily told him that Xiao Yi had agreed to become the Tang Sect leader.

Xiao Ya, you must be happy, you must be blissful.

Your world no longer has me in it, that's fine.

You must find your own happiness, alright?

A tall youth passed by nearby and, seeing Bei Bei in the corner, curiously walked over.

"Bei Bei, what are you hiding here for?" The tall youth was none other than Xu Sanshi. He had just returned to Shrek Academy and was unaware of what had happened in the academy recently.

As for why he hadn't returned to Shrek sooner, it was mainly because his clan had been urging him to undergo his Martial Soul Awakening. Xu Sanshi had refused; he wanted to pursue Jiang Nannan and naturally couldn't let her down—that was what Xu Sanshi thought, and that was how he acted.

To silence the endless gossip within his sect, he had practiced diligently and strived for improvement. His soul power was no worse than those sect disciples who had already undergone their awakening. This time, he returned not only to shut them up but because he had broken through to level forty and become a Soul Ancestor, ready to obtain his fourth soul ring.

Nannan will definitely look at me with new eyes, Xu Sanshi thought with immense confidence.

But then, he followed Bei Bei's gaze.

"Damn, isn't that Tang Ya?" After glancing at Xiao Yi and Tang Ya embracing, then looking at his good brother's sorrowful expression, Xu Sanshi was just about to offer some comfort when he saw a scene that broke his own heart.

Xiao Yi affectionately ruffled Tang Ya's small head, then looked at Jiang Nannan, who was standing to the side looking somewhat unnatural.

Releasing Tang Ya, he stepped forward and gave Jiang Nannan a natural hug, pulling away the moment they touched.

"I have something to discuss with you two. Let's go somewhere quiet." Jiang Nannan hadn't quite reacted yet when she heard Xiao Yi say this.

Tang Ya heard him and exchanged a glance with Jiang Nannan. Curious about what Xiao Yi had to say, they nodded.

In the corner not far away, two figures were tangled together. Bei Bei covered Xu Sanshi's mouth, binding him tightly. Only when he saw the three of them walk far away did he release him.

"Bei Bei, what are you doing?" He looked at Bei Bei in disbelief, his eyes filled with incredulity.

"Didn't you see that brat playing both sides? You won't go with me to snatch your Tang Ya and my Nannan back, and you're actually stopping me?"

Bei Bei spoke slowly: "Xiao Ya only ever saw me as a friend; this is her own choice. Naturally, I have no right to say anything more." Just as Xu Sanshi was about to retort, Bei Bei's next sentence made him so angry he nearly smoked.

"Besides, you can't beat him." As soon as the words fell, Xu Sanshi was ready to explode with rage.

"Fine, fine, fine! Bei Bei, if you're a man, go and win Tang Ya back from him fair and square! What is this supposed to be?" Xu Sanshi's anger surged, and he pointed at Bei Bei, scolding him for his lack of backbone.

Bei Bei was stunned by these words. That's right, if I were strong enough, Tang Ya wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself to get Xiao Yi to join the Tang Sect, would she? But then, thinking of Xiao Yi's strength, he felt dejected again.

Can I really do it?

Suddenly, a pair of large hands pressed onto his shoulders. He looked up and met Xu Sanshi's eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit and fury.

Feeling the strength and conviction radiating from Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei clenched his fists tightly and nodded heavily. Even if he couldn't win, for the sake of Xiao Ya, he had to try!

While the two were busy formulating their retrieval plan, Xiao Yi directly activated his Martial Soul Possession and, with a flash, familiarly slipped into the two girls' private quarters.

Looking at the two, Xiao Yi spoke slowly.

"Xiao Ya, Senior Sister Nannan, this matter requires you both to keep it a secret."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a transparent flame rose from his palm. The temperature in the dormitory rose sharply, but Xiao Yi controlled it so the two girls wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Seeing the flame in Xiao Yi's hand, which was completely different from before, the two girls were shocked beyond measure. Could there really be someone in this world with a triple-martial soul? Before they could ask, he continued.

"Try circulating your soul power." Xiao Yi smiled at the stunned pair. Tang Ya had already shared that kind of intimacy with him, so she was naturally his woman. Before solving her martial soul issue, he had to ensure her cultivation speed, if only to prevent her from having a mental breakdown and turning dark later.

This was the result of careful consideration. As for Jiang Nannan, well, he just craved her; he was a lecher.

Besides, if you transmigrate to the Douluo Continent and don't "check in" with the goddesses, wouldn't the transmigration be in vain?

The two suppressed their curiosity and began to circulate their soul power according to Xiao Yi's instructions. After a short while, they both opened their eyes wide in shock.

Seeing their stunned, adorable expressions, Xiao Yi couldn't help but gently rub Tang Ya's soft cheeks. Tang Ya said somewhat indistinctly:

"My cultivation speed has increased so much." Tang Ya was a bit shy from being rubbed, but the brightness in her eyes could not be hidden.

Jiang Nannan also nodded earnestly from the side.

"This is another form of my second martial soul. It can accelerate your cultivation speed. Xiao Ya, don't let your imagination run wild anymore."

"Xiao Yi~" Tang Ya looked at Xiao Yi with teary eyes, her form of address becoming even more intimate than before. She hadn't expected Xiao Yi to notice her emotions, and she dove into his arms in a flash.

Feeling the soft, supple body in his arms and her curves, Xiao Yi felt his heart race; this position was truly troublesome.

Steadying his mind, he controlled the Fallen Heart Flame in his hand to split off two small flames.

"Xiao Ya, Senior Sister Nannan, this is a wisp of fire from my martial soul. I'll leave it with you. If you keep it stored in your bodies, it will accelerate your cultivation."

"I... I have one too?" Jiang Nannan looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

Xiao Yi pulled her over with an amused smile. Jiang Nannan let out a startled cry, and as she met Xiao Yi's gaze, a rosy flush stained her cheeks.

"Accept it, Sister Nannan. You and Tang Ya are both important people in my heart." As Jiang Nannan looked straight into Xiao Yi's eyes and heard this unabashed confession, her mind went blank.

"B-but, Tang Ya..." She turned her head away awkwardly, meeting Tang Ya's gaze.

"Oh, just accept it, Nannan. And Xiao Yi, you're being too biased. What do you mean 'important people'? You're just lusting after her body, you lecher. Besides, I'm not bad myself." Tang Ya glared at Xiao Yi, pressing her body against him. Feeling that soft sensation, Xiao Yi's face turned red. He didn't mind Tang Ya exposing him; after all, she was the one who had egged him on. Otherwise, Xiao Yi would have maintained his usual "neither proactive nor rejecting" stance.

Jiang Nannan seemed to realize something, and she turned as red as a boiled shrimp, her entire being suffused with an alluring crimson.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi knew he had won. He loosened his arms from around Tang Ya, giving her waist a light pinch as he pulled away. What a little demon. One of these days, I'll have to deal with you right here and now, Xiao Yi thought to himself.

"Alright, Sister Nannan, Tang Ya, relax your minds and do not resist."

Xiao Yi spoke to the two women. He couldn't simply have them refine the sub-flame like in the Battle Through the Heavens World; they wouldn't be able to withstand it. Instead, Xiao Yi would plant it into their bodies in the form of a fire seal, which would not only assist their cultivation but also serve as protection in times of danger.
