Is This Punishing Zi Yan, or Rewarding Her?

In fact, Xiao Yan originally planned to wait until Old Yao or Venerable Skyfire woke up before considering cultivating the Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

After all, having guidance from experienced people can save you from taking many detours.

But after returning to the academy, he realized a truth.

If he has to wait for guidance from teachers and seniors before he dares to do even such a small thing, what great things will he be able to accomplish in the future?

He's already successfully cultivated Advanced Earth Tier Dou Technique like the Emperor Seal Art and the Five Wheel Separation Fire Method, so why would he be afraid of failing to cultivate a mere Three Thousand Lightning Movement?

It's just a Lower Earth Tier Dou Technique.

He will eventually have to leave the protection of Old Yao and Venerable Skyfire and cultivate on his own.

If we stagnate without them, how can we possibly reach the finish line and slay the Hun Tian Di?

He dared to eat Heavenly Flames raw; what could mere Wind Lightning Power possibly do to him?

"How do you plan to train this Dou Technique?"

Zi Yan quite enjoyed physical contact with Xiao Yan. Sitting on him, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all; in fact, she didn't want to get off.

For example, right now, even though Xiao Yan is sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop next to the swamp, Zi Yan still hasn't gotten off him. Before, she was sitting on his arm, and now she's sitting on Xiao Yan's slightly thin shoulder.

Of course, it's impossible to sit on someone's lap.

It wasn't that Zi Yan didn't want to, it was that Xiao Yan wouldn't allow it.

Even though Zi Yan looks like a little girl, her soft, pert bottom is undeniably alluring and uniquely youthful. Xiao Yan has been getting quite agitated lately from his older sisters' teasing, and if he loses his temper and bullies his younger sister, the consequences could be severe.

Fortunately, Zi Yan seemed genuinely interested in changing Xiao Yan's opinion of her, so she acted as a well-behaved and sensible person, spending her time taking pills and chatting with Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing Zi Yan's question, Xiao Yan also became more serious and replied earnestly:

"To cultivate the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, one must absorb the Wind Lightning Power sealed within this scroll using a special method into one's body before being qualified to learn this so-called 'Three Thousand Lightning Movement.' Therefore, the first step is naturally to extract the Wind Lightning Power from the scroll."

"The Wind Lightning Power?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something. She tilted her head and pondered, and her petite and soft body inadvertently leaned against Xiao Yan's head.

However, neither Xiao Yan nor Zi Yan cared much about this; their attention was elsewhere at the moment.

However, the faint fragrance emanating from Zi Yan gave Xiao Yan a feeling of tranquility and joy.

I have to say, sweet and soft girls are just so great!

"So, are you ready to practice this Dou Technique now?"

After a while, Zi Yan thought for a moment, then reached out her small hand and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, asking...

"Hmm, I'm afraid we'll need to wait for a thunderstorm, and it has to be a bad day with dark clouds and flashing thunder, before we can use the celestial phenomena to activate the power of wind and thunder in the scroll."

After recalling the details of cultivating the Three Thousand Lightning Movement technique from his memory, Xiao Yan answered.

Do you believe me?

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan suddenly asked.

"What?"

These nonsensical words made Xiao Yan frown slightly.

"The Wind Lightning Power is something that is difficult for ordinary people to find and capture, but it is not difficult for me."

Zi Yan spoke slowly.

"Oh? You have a way?"

Xiao Yan was delighted upon hearing this. Without thinking much, he raised his hand and pulled the little girl off his shoulder, holding her in his arms like a child. He looked down at her eyes, which were like black gemstones, and asked with a smile.

"Let me go!" Zi Yan blushed instantly at being hugged like this. She struggled a few times, but found that this naughty thing was indeed quite strong and she couldn't break free, so she simply gave up. She pouted and said in a wronged tone, "My clan has a strong physique. Many of our predecessors have secret methods to temper their bodies with the power of wind and thunder in the void. Not to mention a trace of Wind Lightning Power, even a lot of Wind Lightning Power can be summoned..."

Before Zi Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up!

"You mean you have a way to summon a large amount of Wind Lightning Power?"

Xiao Yan asked excitedly.

"There is a solution, but..."

At this point, Zi Yan turned her head away, not daring to look Xiao Yan in the eye.

Xiao Yan's smile froze upon seeing this.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"But the wind and thunder summoned by that secret technique are not ordinary wind and thunder. Our clan's elders are at least at the Sixth-Tier Peak, with physical qualities comparable to that of a Seventh Tier ordinary magical beast, before they would use such a secret technique to enhance their physical training. I myself am not confident that I can withstand that level of Wind Lightning Power..."

Zi Yan's voice gradually faded, until finally Xiao Yan had to lean in close to hear her.

But Zi Yan was so preoccupied with her own thoughts that she didn't notice Xiao Yan's movements at all. So when she turned her head to look back at Xiao Yan and see his reaction, her small nose first poked Xiao Yan's cheek, and then her pink lips gently brushed against Xiao Yan's face.

Both Zi Yan and Xiao Yan froze on the spot.

The next moment, Zi Yan realized what had happened and her delicate body stiffened. But smelling the fragrance of the humanoid elixir so close to her, she momentarily lost her senses and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick Xiao Yan's cheek.

Slurp~

Hmm? It smells so good! What delicious food has this guy been eating lately? I really want to eat him up!

Zi Yan suddenly had some strange thoughts. These thoughts were not what she actually wanted to think, but rather... a desire that came from the depths of her body.

Immediately, she opened her small mouth, ready to take a bite.

Then, Zi Yan was ejected from Xiao Yan, but not on her own; she was thrown out by Xiao Yan, who was startled.

Xiao Yan covered his cheek, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Zi Yan.

"You were trying to eat me just now?"

Xiao Yan's eye twitched slightly as he felt the faint dampness remaining on his cheek. Then, looking at Zi Yan, who couldn't help but lick her pink lips, he felt a chill run down his spine and said...

"Oh no, although you look quite delicious, we're friends, how could I possibly eat you!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zi Yan forgot about the blush and embarrassment she felt for her subconscious action just now, and quickly explained.

But it smells so good...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's vision went black.

When Zi Yan took the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk before, she wanted to eat herself, but she hasn't eaten any rare and precious herbs lately. What's wrong with Zi Yan now?

Could it be?

Xiao Yan thought for a moment, then waved to Zi Yan.

"Zi Yan, come here."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan obediently walked over and snuggled into Xiao Yan, looking pitiful with her bright, dark eyes filled with innocence.

Xiao Yan ignored Zi Yan's pitiful act and silently took her arm to examine her carefully.

A moment later, his brow relaxed.

"You're about to advance to the next level; you're just one step away from eating me."

Xiao Yan's explanation surprised Zi Yan.

"Really?" Zi Yan's face lit up with joy, but then she looked Xiao Yan up and down and said with a "displeased" expression, "Then how about I just eat you up?"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly upon hearing this, then grabbed the little girl in his arms, turned her over, and then his large hand fell without mercy, slapping the girl's pert buttocks.

"Smack!"

The sound of the slap was clearly audible, crisp and bright.

"You ungrateful little thing, I've refined so many pills for you, and you still dare to try and take advantage of me?"

Xiao Yan feigned a gloomy expression, and with a swift movement, his palm struck:

"Clap clap clap!"

Zi Yan was tough; even though Xiao Yan's physical strength was ridiculously strong, she only felt a little pain. But since she had almost bitten off a piece of flesh from Xiao Yan's face, she felt guilty and couldn't struggle, so she could only silently endure the punishment.

As for the difference between men and women, Zi Yan didn't consider it at all.

Xiao Yan is her best older brother; isn't it right for her to punish herself?

It's not a very severe punishment anyway, so let him hit me a couple of times to vent his anger.

But not long after, Zi Yan realized that something was wrong.

The slap landed, and although there was still some pain, it wasn't much anymore.

But if there are no other feelings, then so be it.

Why did she feel a slightly tingling or numb sensation?

How strange!

My face seemed to get hotter, even more so than where I'd been hit.

Zi Yan, her gaze gradually vacant, couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

"Um?"

Xiao Yan's senses were incredibly sharp; he immediately noticed that Zi Yan's condition was not right and looked down to take a look.

Damn it!

Did this girl break herself?

Seeing Zi Yan's flushed face, her tightly clenched thighs, and her slightly swaying buttocks that couldn't help but stick out after the punishment stopped, Xiao Yan finally couldn't hold back.

What do you mean? So you're happy with how much I gave you?

Is this a punishment or a reward?

I'm not playing anymore!

Xiao Yan stopped in time and took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, which contained a pill.

He poured out the pills, shoved them into Zi Yan's mouth, and then slapped Zi Yan on the back to help her digest the medicine.

In the blink of an eye, a jewel-like light appeared on Zi Yan's body, and her eyes immediately became clear.

"The taste is alright, what is it?"

Once Zi Yan had returned to normal, she stopped snuggling in Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan and simply sat opposite him in a duck-like position, smacking her lips as she asked.

"Fifth-Grade Jade Heart Pill"

Xiao Yan said calmly.

The effects didn't need to be explained to Zi Yan; she had already experienced them herself.

"Oh, let's continue our previous conversation. This Jade Heart... ah, no, this secret technique for summoning wind and thunder, even if I use all my strength, I can only summon thirty breaths of Wind Lightning Power for you. Have you thought it through? The intensity of that Wind Lightning Power is something even I wouldn't dare to withstand with my physical body."

Although Zi Yan was clearly changing the subject, she was obviously not joking and her expression was unusually serious.

"Go ahead and make your move. If it takes too long, I definitely won't be able to withstand it, but thirty breaths shouldn't be difficult."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan's confident face, nodded solemnly, then lowered her head and cut her palm. A purple light flashed in her palm, and a drop of golden blood with a purple tinge was forced out.

"Because this is a secret technique of my clan, I must use my own blood essence to Dragon Seal within your body as a marker before I can introduce the Wind Lightning Power into your body..."

As Zi Yan finished speaking, she also looked up at Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan had no doubts and reached out his hand directly.

Seeing Xiao Yan's completely unguarded attitude, a subtle ripple appeared in the depths of Zi Yan's eyes. She then forced out two more drops of essence blood, and as light flashed in her palm, the three drops of essence blood joined together, drawing a dazzling purple-gold Dragon Seal.

Then, she took Xiao Yan's hand with one hand and placed the purple-gold Dragon Seal on Xiao Yan's palm with the other.

The purplish-gold Dragon Seal seemed to come alive, biting open Xiao Yan's palm and burrowing inside. In an instant, a flash of purplish-gold light healed the wound, and a purplish-gold Dragon Seal radiated a dazzling light in Xiao Yan's palm.

"This thing won't harm you in any way, and we can use the Dragon Seal to check each other's condition. Once the Dragon Seal fades or even disappears, it means that the other person may be in critical condition or even dead."

Zi Yan explained.

"Yes, thank you, Zi Yan."

Xiao Yan thanked him sincerely.

Xiao Yan knew about the Dragon Seal.

However, Xiao Yan was still deeply moved by Zi Yan's act of planting the Dragon Seal in his own blood.

With his soul power, he could naturally sense that after the three drops of essence blood were forced out, Zi Yan's aura fluctuated slightly.

Although it wouldn't fundamentally damage him, the fact that Zi Yan would go to such lengths just to help him cultivate his Dou Technique shows how incredibly good she is to him.

Although there might be some element of compensation for the bite she had just taken, Xiao Yan was willing to accept her gratitude regardless.

"Don't mention it, get yourself ready, I'm about to start casting a spell."

Zi Yan was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Yan express his gratitude so solemnly, but she quickly smiled and said in a light voice.

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, then fell silent, closing his eyes to calm himself and adjust his state.

Upon seeing this, Zi Yan's expression immediately turned serious. She then changed her hand seals, and her Dou Qi fluctuated as she unleashed a secret technique.

The process of drawing in the Wind Lightning Power and thunder is no different from devouring Heavenly Flames.

Zi Yan wasn't worried about that; Xiao Yan was very experienced.

But summoning thunder isn't easy either...

She took a deep breath, and the hand seals were completed to the final step.

As the final hand seal was cast, the Dragon Seal in Xiao Yan's palm flickered. In the clear blue sky, space was suddenly torn apart, and then a pale gray gale, accompanied by silver lightning, crashed down, its target Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop.

Boom!

Xiao Yan's eyes snapped open, his soul surging forth. After gently escorting Zi Yan to a safe area, the sky-blue Myriad Beast Lotus Heart Flame erupted from his body, forming a sky-blue flame lotus seat beneath him. At the same time, a flame shield condensed, refining the attracted Wind Lightning Power before placing it into his body.
