Tang Huo'er: A Physical Body Nearly Comparable to an Eighth-Rank Magical Beast? I Wonder If I Can Take It!

Seeing that Xiao Yan had finally agreed, Tang Zhen's smile almost overflowed, his eyes filled with satisfaction for Xiao Yan as his future son-in-law, and he repeatedly said:

"Good! Good! That's excellent! Young President... uh, why don't you stay in the room next to Huo Er? It'll be more convenient to take care of Huo Er. And once she's feeling better, she can show you around the valley."

As he spoke, he subtly winked at his daughter, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Okay." Xiao Yan smiled and agreed, then turned his gaze to Tang Huo'er, whose cheeks were still flushed and who wished she could bury herself in the blankets. His tone was gentle, "Miss Huo Er, please rest assured and take care of everything."

Tang Huo'er gave a soft "hmm," her voice so low it was almost inaudible, and she lowered her head even further, revealing only her reddened ear tips.

Her mind was in turmoil. She felt relieved to have survived the ordeal, grateful to Xiao Yan for saving her life, embarrassed by her father's simple and abrupt arrangement of her marriage, and even a hint of curiosity and attraction towards Xiao Yan that she herself was unaware of.

Tang Zhen knew his daughter was shy, so he cupped his hands in greeting to Venerable Skyfire and said:

"Venerable Skyfire, you have worked hard maintaining the Space Channel all the way, and you also protected my daughter just now. I am extremely grateful. Since my nephew Xiao will be staying in Burning Flame Valley for a while, Venerable, why don't you come with me to the guest room for the time being, so that I can show you some hospitality?"

Venerable Skyfire naturally knew that Tang Zhen was making room for the two young men, so he nodded and gave Xiao Yan a meaningful look, roughly meaning: You be careful, kid!

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes in exasperation upon hearing this.

Is he that kind of person?

Venerable Skyfire still misunderstands him too much!

Venerable Skyfire completely ignored Xiao Yan's slight dissatisfaction. He turned to Tang Zhen instead, smiling as he said:

"Valley Master Tang, you're too kind. To be honest, I'm also quite curious about the Dou Technique of Burning Flame Valley. Since we both cultivate Fire Attribute Dou Qi, it would be a good opportunity for us to spar with each other and improve together!"

Tang Zhen's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this:

"Great! I'd also love to learn from Venerable Skyfire!"

After saying that, the two of them left as if they were quite familiar with each other, leaving only Xiao Yan and Tang Huo'er in the room.

Then, the air seemed to quiet down, leaving only Tang Huo'er's slightly rapid breathing as she struggled to calm herself.

Xiao Yan walked to a chair not far from the bed and sat down. He was relaxed and kept a perfect distance from the bed. He didn't speak immediately, but calmly looked at Tang Huo'er and nodded kindly to her.

This perfectly maintained social distance allowed Tang Huo'er, who had been extremely nervous, to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

To be honest, she was very nervous.

After all, Xiao Yan was no ordinary person to her, so she couldn't treat him with a normal attitude.

He was her savior, her ideal partner, and the future husband her father had arranged for her.

Although arranged marriages are generally perceived as decadent and feudal, some individuals may refuse to accept such a thing happening to them in the name of freedom.

But if someone like Tang Huo'er can find a suitable match in an arranged marriage, then there's nothing wrong with it. She even secretly praises her father for being shameless enough to come up with such a solution!

Since Xiao Yan remained silent, Xiao Yan Tang Huo'er couldn't help but secretly glance at him. Seeing that he was looking at her, she quickly lowered her eyes, her heart racing uncontrollably.

She decided to find something to say to cover up the embarrassment of being caught spying on the other person.

"Um, Young President Xiao Yan..."

However, before Tang Huo'er could finish speaking, Xiao Yan raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Since you've already agreed to Uncle Tang, Miss Huo Er, there's no need for you to call me Young President anymore. It sounds too formal. Just call me Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan's tone remained gentle, and a warm smile that made people feel close to him graced his handsome face. Tang Huo'er somewhat lost in thought. After a moment of stunned silence, she realized that Xiao Yan was staring at her with a meaningful gaze, and her pretty face immediately flushed red.

"Well, I wasn't actually staring at you so intently just now. I was just thinking how young you look, maybe even younger than me?"

Tang Huo'er confessed without being asked, and somewhat awkwardly changed the subject.

Xiao Yan didn't expose the girl's attempt to save face, but simply smiled and said:

"Miss Huo Er's judgment is very accurate. I am sixteen years old this year."

Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er's beautiful eyes widened instantly.

"What!?"

Her voice rose considerably with surprise, clearly indicating disbelief.

A sixteen-year-old Dou Zong powerhouse and Eighth-Grade Alchemist?

How is that possible?

"My goodness, you're four years younger than me, and you're already this amazing!"

Tang Huo'er covered her mouth, still deeply shocked, and even inadvertently revealed her age.

Of course, she is indeed a young woman now, and she doesn't get angry like some older women when their age is mentioned.

"Miss Huo Er is quite remarkable too; Dou Huang expert at twenty years old is considered a top-tier genius even in the Central Plains."

Xiao Yan was confident in his talent. Although he was pleased by the beautiful girl's praise, he was used to such compliments, so he was unmoved and simply smiled and returned the compliment.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan mention her being Dou Emperor at the age of twenty, Tang Huo'er's expression stiffened slightly for a moment, after all, she was no longer Dou Emperor.

Thinking of this, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

"I do not understand!"

She suddenly said in a deep voice.

Without letting Xiao Yan ask why, she continued:

"I've been working with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame for a while now, and I'm quite familiar with it. But for some reason, I still failed when I tried to fuse it with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."

Many of the seniors in the valley attempted to fuse with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame after advancing to the Dou Emperor. Even if they failed, they wouldn't have failed as completely as I did, nearly losing my life."

The mention of Heavenly Flames instantly banished Xiao Yan's sleepiness.

No one in this world understands Heavenly Flames better than him!

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said confidently:

"If Miss Huo Er has any questions about this, perhaps I can tell you the answer."

Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er looked at Xiao Yan with some curiosity:

"Really? Why is that?"

Her face was filled with a thirst for knowledge. At this moment, she was no longer the shy girl in front of her fiancé, but a student asking questions.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and began to speak eloquently:

"On the way here, I learned from Valley Master Tang that your valley's Nine Dragon Lightning Flame has been passed down for many years. Its Origin Flame has been marked with indelible marks by generations of powerful figures from Burning Flame Valley. Only those who cultivate the Burning Flame Valley's treasure-suppressing technique Azure Underworld Flame Art, have the opportunity to refine and use this fire."

Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er nodded.

That's right, the cultivation technique she practiced was the Azure Underworld Flame Art. This technique was ranked as Advanced Earth Tier, but if amplified by the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, its power could almost rival that of Heaven Tier technique.

With its long history and profound heritage, it's no surprise that Burning Flame Valley possesses such a rich foundation.

"But when I examined your body just now, I detected something that makes me understand why you failed, and even nearly perished."

Xiao Yan continued.

"Oh? Why?"

Tang Huo'er's curiosity was piqued by Xiao Yan, and she couldn't help but sit up in bed.

"Firstly, you're being a bit too hasty. Your Dou Huang Realm isn't even stable yet, so you're already trying to fuse with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. The success rate won't be very high to begin with. I've inquired, and even Valley Master Tang, although he started trying to Fused Heavenly Flame from Dou Emperor, only had the ability to completely control the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame and refine it for his own use after he advanced to Dou Zong."

Secondly, when you were cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, you probably tried using the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame to assist your cultivation, right? Your body couldn't withstand that kind of burning, accumulating some Fire Poison and hidden dangers. Although you were probably treated with some kind of elixir, it didn't eradicate those Fire Poison and hidden dangers, which led to your severe backlash and nearly cost you your life."

Xiao Yan said slowly and deliberately.

Tang Huo'er fell silent upon hearing this.

Actually, she already knew something about the first point Xiao Yan mentioned.

She was indeed getting a little anxious.

But she was indeed the most talented person in the Burning Flame Valley in the past hundred years, so naturally she had a bit of arrogance.

She never expected that the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame would be so difficult to tame, causing her to suffer such a great loss.

But how did he know about the Great Sun Separation Fire Body?

Tang Huo'er's gaze fell on Xiao Yan, and she looked him over with some suspicion.

"That Great Sun Separation Fire Body was given to me by one of my senior classmates. She used that Dou Technique to exchange for your Burning Flame Valley's Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, right? That was for me."

Xiao Yan didn't hide anything from her and spoke directly.

"Your senior? Could it be Miss Huo Zhi? Father mentioned her to me. It's said that she comes from a very mysterious and ancient power, one that even our Burning Flame Valley can't afford to offend."

Tang Huo'er's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

That was one of the few beings she had encountered since she began cultivating whose talent far surpassed her own.

Moreover, the opponent also possessed a Heavenly Flames within their body, a powerful Heavenly Flames that even the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame feared.

Her eagerness to fuse with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was partly due to this factor.

"Well, that's not the point. What I want to say is that I'm about to master the Great Sun Separation Fire Body."

Xiao Yan nodded and said seriously.

This wasn't to show off; it was simply to tell her this so that Tang Huo'er could understand some things later.

"It's almost finished?"

Tang Huo'er was already somewhat numb with surprise.

She suffered so much hardship and was covered in injuries, yet she hadn't even reached the minor completion stage of the cultivation realm, while Xiao Yan was already close to the major completion stage?

That's a terrifying physical body comparable to Dou Zun expert!

I don't know if I can handle it in the future...

Tang Huo'er suddenly had some inappropriate thoughts, and her pretty face turned red again.

But Xiao Yan didn't notice her lost in thought, and continued:

"The reason I'm telling you this is because you've probably already felt it; there's a special physical connection, or rather, a sense of closeness, between us."

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Xiao Yan Tang Huo'er finally understood why he had said that, and nodded thoughtfully.

So, the sense of closeness she felt was because of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Xiao Yan, only to see him nod slightly and say:

"That's right, it's because of this Great Sun Separation Fire Body. Although you failed in your cultivation, it's not because you have a problem with your talent, but because you didn't control the pace of your cultivation well. However, you can't be blamed for this."

Only Uncle Tang can use the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. After all, you are a girl. When you are Heavenly Flames, your clothes will naturally be lost. Uncle Tang is mindful of the difference between men and women, so he can only close his eyes and use the fire control technique to adjust the temperature according to your feedback. It is difficult to maintain the temperature just right for you to cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body. Therefore, it is not surprising that you failed in your cultivation.

Moreover, given your initial level of cultivation in the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was far too advanced for you and not suitable for you to cultivate this Dou Technique.

The good news is that after all this ordeal, your body has been tempered and weakened by the Heavenly Flames, increasing your resistance to flames. Therefore, if I help you in the future, your success rate in cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body is quite high.

Once you successfully cultivate, as long as you reach the second level of the Separation Fire Body, fusing and refining the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame will no longer be risky; it will be a natural progression."

Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er's eyes lit up immediately:

"Really? You can really help me cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body?"

Her eyes sparkled with hope and excitement.

She desperately wanted to become stronger!

"Of course, since Uncle Tang has entrusted you to me, and you are willing to be with me, then I will naturally help you."

Xiao Yan still wore a warm smile, his eyes were incredibly sincere, and his tone carried an air of domineering self-righteousness.

His thinking was simple: since she would be his woman sooner or later, he naturally had a responsibility to help her.

Seeing the sincerity in Xiao Yan's eyes, Tang Huo'er felt her heart pounding uncontrollably.

How can he be so amazing and so handsome!

"So, does that mean you also possess Heavenly Flames?"

She recalled her previous feelings for Xiao Yan, and from Xiao Yan words just now, she confirmed her suspicions about him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

In all her life, she had only ever seen the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, a Heavenly Flames. Huo Zhi came to Burning Flame Valley before, she didn't even use her Heavenly Flames; she just relied on the fluctuations of the Heavenly Flames within her body to frighten the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame into submission.

"Of course there are, and there are plenty."

Xiao Yan smiled, stood up and walked towards Tang Huo'er. With a pull of his hands, five Heavenly Flames floated between his hands.

"So much!"

Tang Huo'er was completely stunned.

With her keen eye, it was not difficult for her to see that these five Heavenly Flames were all genuine Heavenly Flames!

"This is... unbelievable!"

After a long while, Tang Huo'er managed to utter a few words with difficulty.

Honestly, she's becoming increasingly curious about what kind of person this fiancé who suddenly appeared out of nowhere is.

But...

Tang Huo'er suddenly realized a problem.

If I really have to let Xiao Yan help me cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, wouldn't he see me completely naked?

Realizing this, Tang Huo'er's face turned red again!
