The Ever-Welcome Clothes-Burning Segment
"Xiao Yan, how's your cultivation going?"
Although Tang Huo'er didn't know when Xiao Yan would emerge from seclusion, she spent every day, besides completing her daily cultivation, coming to the Dou Technique Pavilion to wait for Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan started studying Dou Technique, she stayed with him for a few days. But even though she was the young lady of Burning Flame Valley, she couldn't just stay in the Dou Technique Pavilion all the time just to accompany someone. That would obviously not be in accordance with the rules of Burning Flame Valley.
Therefore, she later left the Dou Technique Pavilion and, as Xiao Yan had instructed, began her daily cultivation to prepare herself for cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body.
Now that she had finally waited for Xiao Yan emerge from seclusion, she couldn't help but show her joy, smiling as she greeted him, and even naturally took his arm.
Despite their intimate behavior, two blushes rose on Tang Huo'er's spirited and pretty face, like the sunset on the horizon, making her appear even more radiant against the backdrop of her fiery red outfit.
Because she was a little nervous, she subconsciously tightened her grip on Xiao Yan's arm, completely unaware that her sizable Flaming Mountain was being pressed and dented by Xiao Yan's elbow.
However, Xiao Yan remained completely calm and silently enjoyed the situation.
If he were still a novice, his heart would probably be pounding and his face flushed red by now.
But he is no longer the innocent boy who could be easily teased by his wicked older sister and left helpless.
Of his three fiancées, whether it was the mature and charming Yun Yun, the noble and alluring Ya Fei, or the cold and enchanting Queen Medusa, they all had tall and voluptuous mature figures. Their many in-depth interactions had made him a truly mature man in this regard, naturally much more experienced than a pure young girl like Tang Huo'er.
A mischievous smile played on his lips, his eyes crinkling slightly as he looked at the beauty beside him. He naturally adjusted the position of his arms to make them both more comfortable, and to make the wonderful sensation of their close contact even more pronounced.
He responded gently:
"This training has been very fruitful. The Burning Flame Valley has a profound foundation, and many of its Dou Technique are exquisite. Moreover, the Dou Technique I have my eye on are quite compatible with me. Although I am not yet proficient in them, I can at least use them."
Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Tang Huo'er also showed admiration.
She believed that Xiao Yan wouldn't lie to her about something like this.
But practicing three Earth Tier and one Heaven Tier Battle Skill Dou Technique Burning Flame Valley in a month is no easy feat!
It should be noted that even for her, she could only cultivate two Earth Tier Dou Technique to the point of being able to use them at most in a month.
However, Tang Huo'er obviously did not expect that with Xiao Yan's abnormal talent, he actually only took ten days to master all four Dou Techniques and reach the point where he could use them.
As for the matter of the Xiao Clan's inheritance, Xiao Yan did not intend to say much to Tang Huo'er.
"Xiao Yan, you're amazing!"
Tang Huo'er thought this to herself, and then said it aloud.
If it were an ordinary man, even if he surpassed her, she would still stubbornly deny it.
But if it's Xiao Yan, her fiancé...
She would only feel proud and honored by Xiao Yan's talent!
"By the way, I've been studying Dou Technique these past few days and have come up with some ideas that might help you cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body. I'll study and confirm them later. If it works, perhaps you can cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body like me."
Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then added.
Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er's eyes lit up!
She was well aware of the difficulty and risks of cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body. With Xiao Yan's full assistance, the success rate would undoubtedly increase significantly, and she would feel much more at ease.
"Of course it's true." Xiao Yan nodded, his gaze falling on her cheeks, which were slightly flushed with excitement. He then changed the subject, a hint of teasing in his voice, "But Huo Er, seeing how close you are to me, I suppose you should be able to overcome any concerns you may have about cultivation?"
"Huh?" Tang Huo'er was taken aback, then realized what Xiao Yan was teasing her about. She blushed furiously, her ears turning bright red. As if burned, she abruptly released her grip on Xiao Yan's arm, instinctively taking a small step back, her hands protectively covering her chest. Her eyes darted around, avoiding his gaze, and she threatened him with feigned bravado, "You... you're not allowed to take advantage of me, or I'll call Daddy to beat you up!"
She made verbal threats, but her voice grew softer and softer, her confidence clearly waning.
The two of them knew perfectly well what cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body meant—it required Xiao Yan to directly burn her body with Heavenly Flames, so naturally, her clothes and such would not be preserved.
Over the past month, although she had already decided that Xiao Yan was her future partner and had prepared herself mentally, when the time came, her girlish reserve and shyness still made her want to back out.
Maybe we shouldn't fix it...
How embarrassing!
Seeing Tang Huo'er's adorable, embarrassed and embarrassed expression, Xiao Yan's smile deepened.
He stopped teasing her, and his tone returned to its gentle and serious tone:
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Your cultivation level is now firmly established at the Peak Nine-Star Dou King. The meridians in your body that were damaged by the Fire Poison and the backlash from the Heavenly Flames have also recovered their health under the power of the medicine and my Dou Qi, and are even more resilient than before."
Furthermore, with this month of cultivation, the resilience of your meridians has improved. This period is the best time to cultivate the <Great Sun Separation Fire Body>. If you delay, the residual medicinal power in your body will be refined away with each day of cultivation, and your success rate in cultivation will not be as high as it is now."
At this point, Xiao Yan took a step forward, closing the distance between them that had widened due to Tang Huo'er's embarrassed retreat. His deep, dark eyes gazed at her with gentle concern, and his tone carried a reassuring magic as he softly said:
"Huo Er, trust me, okay?"
Sensing the seriousness and concern in Xiao Yan's words, Tang Huo'er took a deep breath, suppressing the shyness and panic in her heart.
She raised her head and met Xiao Yan's gaze.
Should she believe him?
Certainly!
If it weren't for him, I'd probably still be in a coma, and even if I were lucky enough to survive, I wouldn't live for more than a few years.
For the past two weeks, Xiao Yan had devoted himself to refining pills all night long and took meticulous care of her every day, so he easily gave her precious Seventh-Grade pills to use.
In that instant, Tang Huo'er thought of many things.
Xiao Yan's life-saving grace, the kindness of his meticulous care, his father's earnest expectations, and his own desire to become stronger...
Compared to all this, what does it matter if one is honest with their future husband?
He's still my man, I won't let him get away with this!
Thinking of this, the last trace of hesitation in Tang Huo'er's eyes faded, replaced by a firmness and boldness unique to Tang Huo'er.
She nodded vigorously, her spirited brows relaxing, her voice light yet carrying a deep sense of reassurance, as if she were entrusting her life to him.
"I believe you, Xiao Yan!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and bent his arm. Tang Huo'er also hopped over with a smile, reached out and took Xiao Yan's arm, resting her pretty face on his shoulder with a serene smile on her face.
The two leaned on each other as they left the Dou Technique Pavilion and returned to Tang Huo'er's courtyard.
During their journey, they encountered some patrolling disciples of the Burning Flame Valley, who were all dumbfounded when they saw their senior sister acting so petite and dependent.
Is this really their energetic and outspoken senior sister?
This doesn't make sense!
Xiao Yan didn't seem to care much about this. He smiled and nodded to the Burning Flame Valley disciples who greeted him, casually handing out some pills, which immediately earned him a sea of admiring glances.
Tang Huo'er, on the other hand, is clearly facing a crisis of her public image collapsing, but she doesn't seem to care about that.
Her attention was entirely focused on the cultivation of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body that was about to begin.
The courtyard gate closed gently behind them, revealing swaying bamboo shadows inside. Neither of them spoke, and they skillfully pushed open the door and entered Tang Huo'er's boudoir.
Tang Huo'er released Xiao Yan's arm, forced herself to remain calm, closed the doors and windows, and then went to the depths of her boudoir, to a room used for daily cultivation.
This room occupies a considerable area and is made of special materials. It is also engraved with formations, which can not only gather fire-attribute energy of heaven and earth, but also have extremely strong resistance to high temperatures and impacts. Tang Huo'er usually cultivates her Dou Qi and Dou Technique here.
Xiao Yan silently enveloped the room with a soul barrier. Even with Tang Zhen's strength, it would take some effort to break through his soul barrier.
As long as this soul barrier is not broken, Tang Zhen will not be able to tear through space and appear in the room.
Of course, Xiao Yan wasn't hoping to use this thing to stop Tang Zhen. His main purpose was to tell him that the two of them were just taking care of some private matters, and that the old man shouldn't bother them.
Secondly, it's for sound insulation.
Cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body really hurts!
Xiao Yan couldn't bear the intense pain at first, so it's not hard to imagine what Tang Huo'er will be like later.
However, as Xiao Yan drew closer, Tang Huo'er's previously made-up resolve transformed into a burning shyness when she was truly alone with Xiao Yan in a room, about to face the inevitable openness between them, spreading from her ears all the way down her neck.
She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her pounding heart, but only felt her cheeks burning hotter.
"Huo Er." Xiao Yan's voice sounded beside her, his tone gradually becoming serious, "You don't need to be nervous, and don't overthink it. Cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body absolutely doesn't allow for any wild thoughts, otherwise you'll probably suffer another serious injury, and it will be difficult to cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body again."
Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er took a deep breath to calm herself down. Her small hands were already on her clothes, and she was about to take off her clothes.
For a fleeting moment, she even felt a sense of desperation, wanting Xiao Yan to just take her, so that she wouldn't feel so shy and embarrassed about being completely honest with him.
Xiao Yan didn't care what Tang Huo'er was thinking at the moment. He waved his sleeve, and several streams of flames of different colors shot out, landing precisely in several surrounding locations. Under the control of his soul power, they instantly formed a profound flame array.
The array patterns flickered, emitting a soft yet powerful energy fluctuation, subtly reinforcing and sealing off the space in this area. This not only prevented energy leakage from disturbing others but also isolated it from outside observation.
"This is..."
Huo Er looked at the exquisite fire control technique, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
This was not a formation from Burning Flame Valley; its sophistication far surpassed anything she had ever seen.
This was actually a technique that Xiao Yan had comprehended from the <Capital Heaven Profound Fire Art>.
"A little trick for controlling the fire," Xiao Yan explained, his tone so calm it was as if he'd just drunk a glass of water. "This formation will trap the heat emanating from your body, otherwise this room would definitely burn down."
Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er suddenly stopped being shy.
Good heavens, flames strong enough to burn down a room are used to temper her body?
Are you sure you won't burn her to death?
However, Tang Huo'er gave up after only thinking about it for a moment.
Xiao Yan wouldn't let anything happen to her; she trusted him!
After setting up the formation, Xiao Yan continued:
"Are you ready? Once you begin, you must be completely focused, trust my guidance, and endure the pain of physical training."
Looking into Xiao Yan's deep black eyes, Tang Huo'er's last bit of panic subsided, and her gaze became incredibly firm.
"I'm ready, Xiao Yan!"
"Alright." Xiao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this and said calmly, "Take off your outer garments, enter the core of the formation, sit cross-legged, circulate the <Great Sun Separation Fire Body> technique, and focus your energy on one point. Leave the rest to me."
Despite being mentally prepared, Tang Huo'er's delicate body still trembled slightly when she heard the words "take off your clothes."
She turned around, her eyelids slightly lowered, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She stretched out her fair fingers, which, though trembling a little, moved with clean and decisive movements to untie the belt of her fiery red outfit, and walked towards the center of the formation.
Her clothes slipped down, revealing a close-fitting, fiery red embroidered undergarment that accentuated her graceful and youthful curves.
Without pausing, she gently bit her lower lip, then reached her hands behind her neck and untied the last layer of restraint.
The fabric slipped silently to the ground.
At this moment, Tang Huo'er had arrived at the center of the formation, wearing only two thin inner garments. The light of the formation shone on the girl's fair and jade-like body with its exquisite curves.
Her full, proud curves, slender and toned waist, and long, straight legs all exude a breathtaking beauty of youth.
However, at this moment, this scene, which would make any man's blood boil, could not stir any emotion in Xiao Yan.
Watching Tang Huo'er gradually sit down cross-legged, Xiao Yan directly summoned the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
A crimson flame, as red as blood, rose in Xiao Yan's palm. After so many years of nurturing, the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was no longer what it used to be; it had basically entered its mature stage and its strength far surpassed that of the past.
After scanning Tang Huo'er's body with his soul perception and confirming that she had calmed down and begun to circulate the <Great Sun Separation Fire Body>, Xiao Yan walked over and placed his hand on her back.
The next moment, the last two pieces of cloth on Tang Huo'er's body were completely reduced to ashes, and the Blood-colored Flame entered her body in an instant under the operation of Xiao Yan's powerful soul force.
Tang Huo'er's delicate body trembled slightly. The sudden feeling of emptiness on her body, the intense heat that instantly spread throughout her body, and the burning pain that followed made her almost immediately let out a soft cry:
"Mmm... Ah!!!"
