Refining Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yi Xian's Rapid Breakthrough

Although everything had been prepared, and Tang Chen was there to suppress it, Xiao Yi Xian still felt the pain of the Heavenly Flame tempering her body.

She felt as though her body were a ball of fire. The Heavenly Flame continuously scorched her body, causing unbearable agony, but Xiao Yi Xian possessed astonishing willpower and gritted her teeth through it.

Tang Chen sat beside her, his hands pressed against her back, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on her. He released his soul perception to its fullest, constantly monitoring the changes within Xiao Yi Xian's body.

Time passed second by second. Xiao Yi Xian gradually withstood the pain, her tightly furrowed brow easing slightly, her breathing no longer so rushed.

Under the scorching of the Heavenly Flame, the meridians within her body began to transform, becoming tougher and broader.

Everything was developing in a positive direction.

Sensing that the time was right, Tang Chen took out the Spirit Container. With a flick of his finger toward Xiao Yi Xian's body, the Spirit Container shot directly into her body.

Xiao Yi Xian's body trembled slightly. Then, following the method Tang Chen had taught her earlier, she began guiding the Heavenly Flame into the Spirit Container.

The entire process went smoothly, without any mishaps.

As the Heavenly Flame gradually fused into the Spirit Container, the temperature inside Xiao Yi Xian's body began to slowly fall.

The scorching heat that had nearly burned her to ashes was gradually fading away.

Xiao Yi Xian sighed inwardly in relief, but she did not dare relax. She continued controlling the Heavenly Flame with her full concentration.

Although Tang Chen sensed that things inside Xiao Yi Xian's body were beginning to return to normal, he still did not dare let down his guard. His soul perception remained tightly focused on every change within her body.

Before long, everything within Xiao Yi Xian's body had completely calmed down.

"It should be about done. Now we just have to wait for the refinement to finish," Tang Chen said quietly, his expression relaxing slightly.

He dropped down onto the ground and let out a long breath.

He was exhausted as well. His nerves had been taut the entire time, and now he could finally rest a little.

A week later.

Xiao Yi Xian finally refined the Nether Poison Flame.

The moment the refinement succeeded, she felt as if her body had been remade. An unprecedented power filled every inch of her.

Immediately afterward, following Tang Chen's instructions, she began continuously compressing her poisonous aura and adjusting the balance within her body.

The Woe Poison Body and the Nether Poison Flame were originally both things that could kill people, yet now they had achieved a wondrous balance within Xiao Yi Xian's body, blending together and complementing each other.

With the help of both, Xiao Yi Xian's Dou Qi level began rising at a terrifying speed. In merely one week, she had broken through to the peak of the Dou Wang realm.

And this was only the beginning.

As she continued devouring the poison power within the Nether Poison Flame, her cultivation speed would soar like a rocket, allowing her to reach a terrifying level in an extremely short time.

Tang Chen watched from the side, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

Once it was over, Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes, her face filled with delight. She threw herself straight into Tang Chen's arms and cried excitedly, "Tang Chen, we did it!"

She was so happy that she did not notice her current state at all.

Xiao Yi Xian had not realized that she was naked.

She pressed herself against Tang Chen's chest without the slightest covering, and the sensation nearly killed him.

Tang Chen had been fine just moments ago, but now a surge of desire shot up from his lower abdomen.

Xiao Yi Xian also sensed that something was wrong. Looking down, she discovered that she was completely naked, and her little face immediately turned as red as a ripe apple.

She was practically dying of embarrassment. She had just thrown herself naked into Tang Chen's arms.

Heavens, how could she have done something like that?!

In a fluster, she tried to leave Tang Chen's embrace and hurriedly find something to wear, but Tang Chen's arm was like an iron hoop around her waist. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free.

Xiao Yi Xian's heart pounded as though it were about to leap from her throat.

She raised her head and looked into Tang Chen's burning eyes. That gaze seemed as though it wanted to devour her whole.

Xiao Yi Xian asked softly, "W-what are you doing?"

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, trembling slightly.

"What do you think?" Tang Chen looked over Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful body, his gaze traveling from her face all the way down as a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

Her snowy skin, slender waist, and long legs—every bit of her was laid bare before his eyes.

"I... I need to cultivate." Xiao Yi Xian looked flustered as she struggled even harder to break free.

She twisted her body, trying to escape Tang Chen's embrace.

But the more she struggled, the closer their bodies pressed together.

As Xiao Yi Xian struggled, she suddenly felt something.

She froze for a moment, then instantly understood what it was. Her cheeks turned even redder, and even the base of her neck flushed crimson.

"You think you can run after provoking me? It won't be that easy." Tang Chen held her tightly in his arms and looked down at her, his tone full of dominance.

Before Xiao Yi Xian could react, Tang Chen lowered his head and captured her soft lips in a forceful kiss.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flew wide open. Her mind buzzed as if something had exploded inside it.

"Mm! Mm!" Xiao Yi Xian wanted to say something, but her mouth was completely sealed, and she could only make muffled sounds.

Tang Chen's kiss was domineering and scorching, like a blaze that instantly burned away all of Xiao Yi Xian's reason.

Xiao Yi Xian went limp from the kiss, dazed and overwhelmed, her mind utterly blank.

At some point, the hands that had been pushing against Tang Chen's chest had turned into hands clutching tightly at his clothes.

After the kiss, Xiao Yi Xian had completely calmed down. She no longer struggled or moved about.

Her entire body was limp as mud. If Tang Chen had not been holding her, she would likely have slid straight to the ground.

She panted heavily, her chest rising and falling violently. Her face was flushed, and her watery eyes looked at Tang Chen with a gaze so tender it nearly clung to him.

That gaze carried shyness, anticipation, and a trace of desire that even she herself had not noticed.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian like this, the last string of reason in Tang Chen's mind snapped completely.

With a low growl, he pounced on Xiao Yi Xian like a hungry wolf.

Within the space beneath the swamp...

Heavy panting and suppressed moans intertwined, echoing through the space for a long, long time.

No one knew how much time passed before everything finally began to settle.

Like a little cat, Xiao Yi Xian lay sprawled in Tang Chen's arms, without a shred of strength left in her body, unable even to move a finger.

The flush had yet to fade from her face, but the corners of her lips curled upward slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
