Huo Er, You're All Water
One month later.
Beneath the crimson sky of Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Yan and Tang Huo'er stood side by side.
In the two and a half months, Tang Huo'er not only successfully cultivated the first level of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, the Quenching Body, but the relationship between the two also became inseparable through their daily interactions and joint cultivation.
Her fiery red hair flew wildly in the scorching wind of the valley, Tang Huo'er's spirited eyes had lost the shyness and naivety of their first meeting, showing signs of maturity.
During this month, she would cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body every other day with Xiao Yan's help.
In other words, she has been seen naked a full fifteen times.
If she was a little shy at the beginning, later on, Tang Huo'er simply went for it. "Go inside, take off your armor, be naked, and burn me, oh ho ho ho!"
Xiao Yan was deeply shocked.
However, given Tang Huo'er's sincerity, Xiao Yan could not let her down.
After finishing his cultivation last night, he hugged Tang Huo'er and kissed her for a full fifteen minutes, making Tang Huo'er blush with embarrassment!
Just as Xiao Yan had imagined, Tang Huo'er, who cultivated the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, was extremely hot all over. Even the residual heat after cultivation made Tang Shui'er feel hot.
However, since they were on Burning Flame Valley's territory, the two couldn't overstep their bounds, so Xiao Yan massaged Tang Huo'er's shoulders and back, which were a little sore from cultivating.
Tang Huo'er was clearly excited because their relationship had gotten closer, and she was full of anticipation for their future together.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that if she could cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body with Xiao Yan, it might greatly improve the efficiency of her cultivation of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body.
Although it was just her intuition, she felt she wasn't wrong.
The more she cultivated the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, the closer she felt to Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan body, wishing she could be glued to him for every single hour of the day.
For example, right now, as she's about to leave the place she's lived in for twenty years, there's not a trace of reluctance on her face. She's holding Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan arm tightly, turning her head to look at him with a smile in her eyes.
Are you really leaving?
Tang Zhen's voice was tinged with reluctance, but even more so with relief.
Seeing his daughter's rosy complexion, her aura more solid and refined than before her injury, and even her physical strength reaching an astonishing level, he was extremely satisfied with Xiao Yan as his son-in-law.
"My dear nephew, I'm entrusting Huo Er to you now."
"Uncle, rest assured." Xiao Yan cupped his hands, his tone solemn. "Huo Er is a jewel in the Burning Flame Valley. Once she arrives at the Danta, I will ensure she suffers no injustice. The main reason for bringing her there is for her cultivation. In a year or two, after she breaks through to the Dou Zong, I will bring her back to inherit the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. At that time, she will be able to better assist Uncle Tang in handling the affairs of the valley. Consider this a valuable experience."
Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er's cheeks flushed slightly, but she was no longer as shy as before. Instead, she nodded vigorously at her father with a confident air.
"Father, don't worry, Xiao Yan will take good care of me!"
"Well!"
Tang Zhen laughed loudly, a glint of light seemingly flashing in his eyes.
Without another word, he waved his sleeve, and his powerful Dou Qi tore through space, quickly forming a stable Space Channel that led directly to the vicinity of the Central Plains Dan Region.
"Nephew, have a safe journey! Please give my regards to Xuan Kongzi Master Xuan Kongzi!"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Xiao Yan bowed again, then took Tang Huo'er's hand. The two smiled at each other and stepped into the deep Space Channel side by side.
As for Venerable Skyfire?
He planned to spend more time in seclusion in Burning Flame Valley, taking advantage of the terrain to try and break through to the Nine-Star Dou Zun.
It has to be said that the resurrection strategy based on the Earth Core Fire Bead has been of immense help to Venerable Skyfire. Even his cultivation talent has been enhanced, surpassing his former abilities. In just a few months, he has already solidified his increased strength after the resurrection and is about to advance again.
There's no need to worry about Xiao Yan's safety. Firstly, this Space Channel was constructed by Tang Zhen. Last time, Space Channel was built directly outside the Danta to reach the Burning Flame Valley. This time, when constructing the passage again, the landing point is much more precise than randomly opening Space Channel.
At the very least, ensuring the landing point is in the vicinity of Holy Pill City shouldn't be a problem.
As for falling into the interior of Holy Pill City, that would be somewhat difficult.
Due to the special nature of Holy Pill City, with Tang Zhen's strength and the permission of the Three Great Elders, he could certainly open up Space Channel there at will.
However, the Three Great Elders do not allow such Space Channel that opens from the outside into the interior of Holy Pill City.
Otherwise, wouldn't the Elders of the Soul Hall be able to come and go as they please?
Inside the passage, the Spatial Strength surged like a tide.
Xiao Yan is now Five-Star Dou Zong Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, he often directly possesses the strength of Dou Zun. In addition, with the guidance of veteran powerhouses such as Old Yao, Venerable Skyfire, and even the Three Great Elders of Danta, his control over Spatial Strength is far beyond that of ordinary Dou Zong.
A silver light swirled around him, forming a silver shield made of Spatial Strength, firmly protecting him and Tang Huo'er within it and isolating them from some of the Spatial Turbulence flowing through the passage.
"Your mastery of Spatial Strength is incredibly strong?"
Tang Huo'er was somewhat surprised as she felt the immense Spatial Strength.
In the past month, thanks to her solid foundation, her already Peak Dou King level, and Xiao Yan's full support, her cultivation of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body progressed rapidly.
He has now mastered the first level of Quenching Body, and his physical body is now comparable to that of Fifth Tier magical beast.
However, it will take her a very long time to cultivate to the second level.
After all, Tang Huo'er cultivated the Great Sun Separation Fire Body entirely with Xiao Yan's help using his Heavenly Flames; she couldn't possibly burn herself however she wanted like Xiao Yan.
Once she reaches a normal cultivation pace, it will take her at least two years to enter the second realm.
However, once she successfully cultivates the second level of the Separation Fire Body, and her strength reaches the Dou Zong level, there is a high chance that she will be able to successfully fuse with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame and refine it.
At that time, she can also use the power of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame to advance the cultivation progress of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body.
"Yes, my actual combat strength is basically comparable to a two- or three-star Dou Zun expert in all aspects."
As Xiao Yan spoke, he stabilized the passage while taking out an exquisite Space Ship from his Storage Ring, injecting Dou Qi into it to activate and amplify it.
The small boat floated steadily in the passageway.
The two boarded the Space Ship.
Under Xiao Yan's control, the ship moved smoothly through the Space Channel like a swimming fish.
Tang Huo'er was also greatly shocked upon hearing this. After spending these days together, she certainly didn't think Xiao Yan was bragging. On the contrary, she could even tell that Xiao Yan was being modest.
That is indeed the case.
After all, once Xiao Yan uses his Clan Mark to activate the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations with a single click, and then uses the <Emperor Blood Battle-Nurturing Art> to create a Fire Lotus, even Five-Star Dou Zun expert would likely be in grave danger!
This is also why Venerable Skyfire felt comfortable letting Xiao Yan bring Tang Huo'er back to the Danta on his own.
In terms of combat power, Xiao Yan is even stronger than Venerable Skyfire at his peak. He can basically roam freely in the Central Plains, so what is there to fear?
If he were to encounter someone who was too foolish, Xiao Yan possessed the Soul Jade Slip of the Three Great Elders!
In the following days of travel, Xiao Yan continued to use his all-around worker, the Three Thousand Lightning Fire Body clone, to act as the helmsman of the Space Ship and steer it for him.
As for Xiao Yan himself?
Of course, they would continue cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body with Tang Huo'er.
Several days later, a great light shone at the end of the Space Channel.
With a slight jolt, the Space Ship carrying the two people rushed out of the passage and hovered steadily under a vast sky, where the scenery suddenly opened up before them.
Not far ahead lies the bustling Holy Pill City, with its rows of magnificent buildings.
Even just standing outside the city, some distance from Holy Pill City, the rich fragrance of pills permeating the air was still invigorating.
"This... is this the Danta?"
Tang Huo'er's beautiful eyes widened as she stared in shock at everything before her.
Burning Flame Valley was already a top power in Central Plains, but the scale, popularity, and ubiquitous aroma of medicinal pills in Holy Pill City still gave her a completely different sense of grandeur.
This was actually her first time visiting Danta.
"Yes, this is only Holy Pill City; the Danta is in the city center."
Xiao Yan put away his Space Ship and, holding Tang Huo'er's hand, flew straight towards the city gate of Holy Pill City.
After entering the city, Xiao Yan took Tang Huo'er and flew directly to the Pill Danta deep within Holy Pill City.
"It's the Young President!"
"The Young President is back!"
"As expected of the Young President, he's gone out for a while and has come back with another confidante!"
Xiao Yan's reputation in the Danta was already at its zenith.
As the youngest Eighth-Grade Alchemy Grandmaster in history, a direct disciple of the Three Great Elders, and a candidate for the next giant... every title is enough to make people look up to him.
At this moment, he was accompanied by a stunningly beautiful, spirited, and powerfully dressed red-haired woman, who naturally became the absolute focus of attention.
Tang Huo'er felt the many gazes directed at her from all around, but she didn't show any fear.
She straightened her back slightly, a graceful smile appearing on her pretty face, and stood beside Xiao Yan with poise and elegance, naturally revealing the demeanor of the young lady of Burning Flame Valley.
Xiao Yan smiled, nodded to the people who greeted him, waved, and then led Tang Huo'er straight to the top of the Danta.
"Teacher, you're back!"
As Xiao Yan and Tang Huo'er entered his courtyard, they encountered his young disciples exchanging tips on alchemy.
As soon as Ye Xinlan spoke, her gaze fell on Tang Huo'er.
Oh... how come there's another master's wife?
Cao Ying, who was standing to the side with a charming face, also felt a chill.
Master's charm is simply too great. Master went to Burning Flame Valley before, so this mistress must be from Burning Flame Valley.
Judging from his age and ability, he is clearly a genius with exceptional talent.
For Valley Master Tang to personally come and invite my master back, and even bring her back, could this master's wife have a close relationship with Valley Master Burning Flame Valley, or perhaps even be his daughter?
Cao Ying's mind raced, and she immediately analyzed a great deal of information.
As for Dan Chen?
Why are you thinking so much?
What should a little girl be doing now?
"Master!"
Dan Chen immediately flew into Xiao Yan's arms.
Currently, Xiao Yan is the only person who can have physical contact with Dan Chen without any reservations, so the little girl's dependence on him is self-evident.
Therefore, Dan Chen was the most enthusiastic when it came to wanting a hug.
The key is that once Xiao Yan hugs her, no one else can snuggle into his Xiao Yan.
After all...
You wouldn't want your soul power to be devoured and absorbed by Dan Chen, would you?
Immediately afterward, a door in a nearby house suddenly opened, and a slender figure dressed in pure white appeared before Xiao Yan without warning.
Without a doubt, the one with such strength is none other than Xiao Yi Xian, who has already reached the Dou Zun level.
"You're back?"
Xiao Yi Xian only glanced at Tang Huo'er before her gaze settled on Xiao Yan. Her voice was gentle, like that of a wife waiting for her husband to return home.
"Yes, I'm back."
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, his voice equally gentle.
Tang Huo'er had at least shared a physical intimacy with Xiao Yan, and on the way back, Xiao Yan had already told her some things about his female confidantes. Therefore, she was not flustered in the face of this situation. She silently observed them and included Xiao Yan's three sisters, who were supposedly just his disciples, in the category of sisters for life.
Although Xiao Yan is not particularly interested in these girls at the moment, Tang Huo'er can clearly see that despite the different expressions of Ye Xinlan, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen, the admiration in their eyes is basically undisguised.
As for this Xiao Yi Xian?
No comparison! Absolutely no comparison!
Even setting aside their almost marital conversation, the tender, loving gazes they shared were something she couldn't match at all.
If she and Xiao Yan are still in the passionate stage of their relationship, then this Xiao Yi Xian Doctor and Xiao Yan have already entered the stage of an old married couple.
That kind of tacit understanding, which takes years to develop emotionally, cannot be achieved through any shortcuts.
However, after learning about Xiao Yan's potential and strength, Tang Huo'er had no intention of engaging in any jealousy or rivalry.
Therefore, she simply extended her hand to Xiao Yi Xian with a smile.
"This must be Sister Xiao Yi Xian, right? Hello, I'm Tang Huo'er."
The Xiao Yi Xian, with her gentle and refined nature, extended her slender hand and gently shook hands with Tang Huo'er upon hearing this.
Hello, Huo Er sister.
With Xiao Yi Xian's strength and her experience of living two lives, Tang Huo'er's calling her "sister" is not a bad thing.
"Greetings, Master's wife!"
The eldest disciple Ye Xinlan, also very considerately greeted his new master's wife.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who were standing nearby and in Xiao Yan, naturally couldn't be ignorant either, so they also greeted them:
"Greetings, Master's wife!"
Hello everyone!
Tang Huo'er also smiled and said to them.
This harmonious scene relieved Xiao Yan.
However, at that moment... a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from inside the courtyard, and a powerful aura soared into the sky.
Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically, and his eyes instantly lit up with immense joy:
"This aura... it's the Medusa! She's emerged from seclusion!"
