Don't Talk, Kiss Me!

"Mountain Opening Seal!"

While in mid-air, Xiao Yan's hand seals created a series of afterimages. His palm was instantly enveloped in intense light, and as the light surged, his palm pushed forward, releasing a crystal-layered hand seal that slammed into the mountain peak in front of him.

Boom!

The crystalline handprint shot out with a loud bang, sending smoke and debris flying everywhere.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

This single strike is already comparable in power to the Flame Splitting Devouring Wave Ruler. When its strength increases and the other four seals are cultivated, its power will be truly something to look forward to.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan recalled his other high-level Dou Technique, the Five Wheel Separation Fire Method.

After a period of arduous training, Xiao Yan has made remarkable progress in his Fire Control Technique, which is comparable to a Heaven Tier Battle Skill. He is now able to condense three streams of Fire Spirit power.

However, if he were to unleash its full potential, Xiao Yan's current Dou Qi would clearly be insufficient.

Xiao Yan had tried it. To unleash the Five Wheel Separation Fire Method, he would need to forcibly undergo the third transformation through the Three Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations to reach the level of Three-Star Dou Emperor before he could possess enough Dou Qi to unleash the Five Wheel Separation Fire Method to its fullest potential for combat.

There's really no other way right now, but the three Fire Spirit aren't bad either. Although they're not as powerful as Xiao Yan's main body, they still possess strength comparable to Dou Wang expert. With their combined abilities, they do have some tricks up their sleeves.

However, these are secondary. The main point is that Xiao Yan's Fire Energy has been greatly improved, and it can even be said that he has made leaps and bounds.

Xiao Yan is now confident that his control over fire is comparable to that of Seventh-Tier Alchemist, and his Alchemy have now reached the solid Sixth-Grade level.

Inside his Storage Ring lay several Dou Ling Pills, Imperial Extreme Pill, and other pills used to restore Dou Qi and heal injuries.

Some of them were refined by Han Feng but hadn't had time to sell yet.

The remaining majority consisted of pills freshly refined by Xiao Yan. Due to some mistakes, three portions of medicinal herbs were lost, which pained Xiao Yan greatly.

Even so, Xiao Yan's success rate is already quite astonishing.

It should be noted that the success rate of ordinary Sixth-Grade Alchemist is only around 60%, while Xiao Yan's success rate is around 90%.

This was mainly due to his amazing talent in Alchemy, his powerful Fire Energy, the Myriad Beast Lotus Heart Flame which was already among the top ten, and the blessing of the Myriad Beast Cauldron.

Old Yao was full of praise for this, saying that Xiao Yan's talent was truly enviable.

However, Xiao Yan has been rather bored these past few days.

Great Elder Su Qian was very efficient, finding three full portions of medicinal herbs for repairing soul power. Therefore, Xiao Yan also directly refined three portions of the Fifth-Grade Soul Nourishing Saliva, keeping one portion for himself and giving the other two portions to Old Yao and Venerable Skyfire respectively.

However, because the two elders had been guiding Xiao Yan's cultivation, they were not in a hurry to use the medicinal liquid. It wasn't until five days ago, when Xiao Yan no longer needed their guidance in all his cultivation, that he used the Soul Nourishing Saliva and fell into a deep slumber to repair his soul.

This has led to Xiao Yan spending the last few days cultivating alone at the bottom of the tower, which has been quite boring.

After all, he'd been at the bottom of the tower for almost three months. Even though he'd mainly been cultivating Dou Technique and Alchemy, the influence of the Fallen Heart Flame and the surrounding environment had improved Xiao Yan's Dou Qi realm. In addition, he'd taken a Dou Ling Pill, and was now at the Seven-Star Peak Dou King.

I'm not far from becoming Dou Emperor...

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then flipped his hand, and a large block of ice appeared in his hand.

Within the snow-white ice, there was a deep blue flame.

I've been busy practicing Dou Technique and Alchemy these past few days, and I'm pretty familiar with my three Heavenly Flames now. It's time to consider researching this fourth one...

Xiao Yan knew very well that as long as he refined and devoured the Sea Heart Flame, his cultivation realm, techniques, and even the Great Sun Separation Fire Body would experience another leap forward.

At that time, even without the help of Old Yao and Senior Tian Huo, Xiao Yan will be able to roam freely in most parts of the Dou Qi Continent.

Um?

Just as Xiao Yan was about to make his move against Sea Heart Flame, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura appearing in his perception.

"Great Elder."

Xiao Yan stood up, put away the Heavenly Flames, and then flapped his sky-blue fire wings on his back, flying towards Su Qian and cupping his hands in greeting.

"Let's go, you have to go through customs."

The Great Elder was somewhat surprised to sense that Xiao Yan's aura had become significantly stronger, but he immediately spoke seriously.

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan didn't ask any further questions and followed Su Qian, leaving the Underground Magma World and returning to the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

"Great Elder, has something happened in the Inner Academy?"

Xiao Yan asked with some curiosity.

"No, that's not it. What could possibly happen in the Inner Academy? Before, Senior Venerable Yao used you to kill nearly half of the top experts in the Black Corner Region. I used this incident to establish Jia Nan Academy's prestige in the Black Corner Region, so naturally no one would dare to come to the Inner Academy to seek death."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian smiled faintly, waved her hand, and explained.

"That means... something happened to the Student Union?"

Xiao Yan's expression turned serious, and he frowned.

"No, the Student Union is doing quite well, though, your few..."

Su Qian shook her head, stopped mid-sentence, and looked towards something not far away.

Hun Li Li, dressed in a Lolita dress, was smiling and waving at Xiao Yan.

"She's leaving, and she wants to see you one last time before she goes."

After saying that, Su Qian vanished without a trace in a flash.

Xiao Yan glanced at Hun Li Li, Yanran not far away, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Her black and red Lolita dress, combined with her alluring face, made her look like a witch from another world.

Xiao Yan casually waved his hand, and his Dou Qi surged on his body, transforming into a black suit.

Seeing Xiao Yan change his clothes, Hun Li Li's smile deepened, and she quickly walked up to him.

"Walk with me for a bit, Senior Xiao Yan ~"

Hun Li Li blinked and smiled mischievously.

Why are you suddenly calling me that?

Looking at his enchanting and alluring older sister, whom he hadn't seen for almost a year, Xiao Yan asked with some surprise.

"You have so many older sisters, of course I, your junior, have to balance things out for you," Hun Li Li explained with a smile. Then she grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, leaned closer, and whispered, "Besides, I've always been your little fangirl! You know, my childhood dream was to have a boyfriend like you."

"My childhood dream..."

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly upon hearing this; his naughty older sister was still talking nonsense.

"Putting aside the original plot and character design, just looking at you as a person, I think you're great."

Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't believe her, Hun Li Li got a little angry. She then stood on tiptoe and gave Xiao Yan a big kiss on the cheek.

?

"It's impossible for me to fall in love with anyone in this world. We're from the same hometown, and besides, you're the main character. I'm not at a disadvantage. I haven't even experienced what it's like to be a man yet. I don't even know if I'll be alive to see you again after this trip..."

Seeing the girl who used to always talk nonsense now wearing a bright smile and saying words that were both funny and sad, Xiao Yan fell silent. After a moment, he put his arm around Hun Li Li's waist, and then sky-blue flame wings popped out from his back, flying towards the distant mountains and forests.

Soon, the two found a scenic mountain peak and landed there.

Hun Li Li was carried the whole way, and her originally pale cheeks became much rosy and warm. It was the first time she had been so close to a man. With each breath, she could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her perfect body, which had been tempered and refined by the Heavenly Flames after consuming many rare and precious herbs.

The broad, strong arms brought her an immense sense of security, a feeling she had never experienced before.

I feel very safe and comfortable.

"Alright, now we can have a proper talk."

Looking at the blushing, enchanting young lady, Xiao Yan felt a sense of exhilaration.

For nearly a year, his life was extremely monotonous. All he saw were the Heavenly Flames in his meridians and the crimson Underground Magma World.

Now, with a charming young woman in front of him, displaying a shy and girlish demeanor, he naturally felt a sense of comfort.

"It's been almost three years since I left the clan. It's time to go back. You should know that no matter how much I hate that place, there's no denying that I'll receive the most resources and support from the Soul Clan, and I'll be able to grow rapidly. When the Heavenly Tomb opens and we meet again, I won't be too far behind you. That might be the only way for me to escape the control of the Soul Clan..."

Hearing this, Hun Li Li didn't leave Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan. Instead, she snuggled closer to him, pressing herself against him, and whispered.

The girl's soft, voluptuous body emitted a faint, sweet fragrance, but Xiao Yan was not distracted at all, and simply listened silently to what Hun Li Li was saying.

"In short, I will overcome the difficulties and work hard in my cultivation, but I'm afraid I won't be of much help to you..."

Hun Li Li bit her lower lip and took out a Blood-Colored Jade Tablet from her chest, which exuded a strong aura of blood.

"This is the Blood Soul Tablet that I made after you began to devour the Heavenly Flames and then extracted a portion of my bloodline power from my body and sealed it away using a secret method. It can emit a bloodline aura unique to the Soul Clan. If you encounter any powerhouses below the level of Elder of the Soul Hall in the future, take out this token and keep it close to your body. This will make them mistake you for a member of the Soul Clan, which may help you get out of danger."

If you encounter a formidable enemy, you can crush it directly. The power of your bloodline will invade your body. Since you currently do not have any special bloodline, it will be covered by my God-Grade Bloodline, and you will truly have the bloodline of the Soul Clan. This will likely have some impact on your future fusion with the Xiao Clan Bloodline.

As soon as the jade tablet shatters, if there is a branch of the Soul Hall nearby, the elders there will definitely sense it and come to your aid. However, this may not be a good thing for you. The decision is yours. I can't give you much more; this is the only way I can think of and secure a way for you to save your life."

Taking the jade pendant and feeling the lingering warmth of the girl's body on it, Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat complicated.

This girl truly sees herself as her only hope...

"Thanks, this is already very good."

Xiao Yan carefully put away the jade token, hugged the girl in his arms tighter, and said softly.

"Oh, right, I have another method that might come in handy," Hun Li Li said, looking up at Xiao Yan. "Lower your head a little."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan lowered his head and bent over.

"Lower it a little more."

Hun Li Li urged.

Xiao Yan lowered his head even further, until the tip of his nose was less than five centimeters away from Hun Li Li's cheek.

Hun Li Li smiled, then tiptoed and pressed her forehead against Xiao Yan's forehead.

The next moment, a large amount of icy energy entered Xiao Yan's mind through his forehead.

It seems to be some kind of secret technique?

Is it called... Blood Soul Art?

"This is a soul Dou Technique that only members of the Soul Clan with high bloodline strength are qualified to cultivate. I actually have the original of the Dou Technique, but I was worried that it might have some kind of Soul Mark on it, so I couldn't give it to you. I could only pass it on to you in this way."

Hun Li Li tiptoed and landed lightly, looking at the delicate face so close to hers, and said gently.

Thanks.

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

"This is all I can do for you. With this Blood Soul Art, plus my Bloodline Jade Token, most people in the Soul Hall won't be able to tell that you're not a true Soul Clan. At least the Soul Hall's influence on you and the Xiao Family will be greatly reduced."

Hun Li Li shook her head and said seriously.

"As for your idea of infiltrating the Soul Hall, I also have some plans. You can use your identity as an alchemist, along with my Bloodline Jade Token as cover, to infiltrate the Soul Hall as a member of the Soul Clan, obeying orders but not summons. As for how to avoid being exposed, I think with your personality, you will definitely be more thorough than I have in thinking. I won't teach you how to do it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt that no words could express his feelings at that moment. Looking at her earnest face and rosy lips, he smiled slightly and took the initiative to kiss her.

As she gazed at that face drawing ever closer, Hun Li Li's pretty face grew increasingly hot. A moment later, when a soft touch pierced her heart from her red lips, Hun Li Li's alluring eyes slowly closed.

So this is what it's like to be a man...

He has such a sweet tongue.

At the same time, within Xiao Yan's body, an invisible flame slowly rose, surging violently for a while before a milky-white fire seed fell out, traveling upwards along Xiao Yan's meridians, and then through the passage passed down by word of mouth, falling into Hun Li Li's heart.

The intense heat filled their mouths, and their breathing became more rapid...

"That's Heart Fire Seed, capable of..."

Xiao Yan separated himself slightly and was about to say something when he was silenced by a passionate young girl.

"Don't speak, just kiss me!"
