Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame

"Teacher, pass the secret technique to me. I must personally confirm that it truly holds no danger." After pondering for a long time, Xiao Yan finally could not resist the temptation of becoming stronger and spoke up.

"Hehe." Yao Lao wore an expression that showed he had seen through everything, his finger tapping lightly against Xiao Yan's forehead.

Xiao Yan looked at the secret technique that had suddenly surged into his mind. After his expression shifted several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I want to try it."

"Hehe, if you want to try, then try. Go ahead, kid Yan."

Yao Lao chuckled secretly after seeing his scheme succeed.

Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile for a moment before rising to put away the Lotus Pedestal and heading down the mountain.

"Xun'er, what do you think?"

Inside Xiao Xun'er's room, Xiao Yan laid out his entire plan to her.

Just as Xiao Xun'er was knitting her beautiful brows in deep thought, ripples gradually emerged in the corner of the room, and a figure slowly materialized.

"Miss, this is absolutely impossible. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is our clan's ancestral fire. For nearly a hundred years, no one has been able to subdue it. It was only until you were born that this Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame finally found its master once again."

"If anything were to happen to you or the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, Clan Head Gu Yuan and the elders would certainly hold me accountable." Dressed in a black robe and appearing like a ghost, the Dou Emperor Ling Ying bowed his head and spoke.

Unexpectedly, Ling Ying's dissuasion only helped Xiao Xun'er make her decision, strengthening her resolve.

"Elder Ling, my mind is made up; there is no need to persuade me further. This is the first time Brother Xiao Yan has asked me for something, and in truth, there is no real risk."

Seeing that Ling Ying was about to speak again, Xiao Xun'er waved her hand to signal that she did not wish to listen.

Knowing his young mistress's temperament well, Ling Ying immediately fell silent, not uttering another word.

"Xun'er." Xiao Yan said softly.

"Hmph!" Ling Ying had no choice but to vent his frustration on Xiao Yan, staring at him intently as if he wanted to pierce through him with his sharp gaze.

Xiao Yan turned his head away with a bitter smile, not expecting that Elder Ling, who had always had a good impression of him, would now be so repulsed by him.

"Brother Xiao Yan." Xiao Xun'er nodded at Xiao Yan, then sat cross-legged on a prayer mat and extended both hands.

"Whoosh!" As the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was summoned by Xiao Xun'er, the temperature in the room rose abruptly.

A cluster of golden, elf-like flames rose and danced in Xiao Xun'er's hands. The soaring flames were dazzling, and as they burned, one could faintly feel as if the Dou Qi within their own body could be ignited by them.

"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!"

Xiao Yan watched the Heavenly Flame that had suddenly appeared in Xiao Xun'er's hands; this was his first time seeing it in its entirety. Xiao Yan suppressed the Flame Mantra that had begun to stir within his body and carefully sensed the fluctuations of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame's aura.

"It truly deserves its place as the fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. The aura it faintly emits is far more formidable than the Bone Chilling Flame ranked eleventh in Teacher's possession. Even in its current semi-dormant state, a Dou Emperor would die upon contact."

Having such a rare opportunity to observe a top-tier Heavenly Flame, Xiao Yan used his soul power to probe it inside and out.

When Xiao Yan's soul power made contact with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, Xiao Xun'er seemed to sense it and flashed a toothy smile at him. She then placed her hands before her chest and formed a set of profound hand seals.

A moment later, Xiao Xun'er suddenly snapped a final seal.

"Separate!" A delicate shout rang out.

The golden flame in Xiao Xun'er's hands suddenly began to shrink into a tiny yet exceptionally dazzling Coreflame. After extreme compression, the Coreflame suddenly surged to the size of a foot. The center of the light cluster began to tremble, and then, a tiny, exceptionally weak flame slowly separated from the middle.

In truth, rather than calling it a flame, it was more like a small spark that could extinguish at any moment. It floated shakily in the air, cautiously releasing its heat.

Ling Ying, standing to the side, watched Xiao Xun'er's movements closely, as if he would intervene immediately should the slightest negative change occur to his mistress or the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

Upon seeing the successful separation of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, Ling Ying finally flickered and hid back into the space, silently guarding his master.

Xiao Yan, who had been on pins and needles, also let out a long sigh of relief at this sight.

"Swish!"

After separating the small spark from the center of the light cluster, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame seemed to have exhausted all its strength; it turned and dove back into Xiao Xun'er's body to temporarily hibernate and replenish the energy it had just lost.

Xiao Xun'er's delicate, pretty face also seemed to dim significantly at this moment.

"Come, Sister Xun'er, swallow this medicinal pill." Xiao Yan said, his heart aching at the sight.

He took a dark red pill from his Storage Ring and carefully handed it to Xiao Xun'er.

"Xun'er, this is a peak fourth-grade Foundation Building Pill, perfect for replenishing lost vitality."

"It's alright, I just overexerted my Dou Qi."

Under Xiao Yan's insistent gaze, Xiao Xun'er finally took the Foundation Building Pill and obediently swallowed it.

After consuming the pill, a faint flush finally returned to Xiao Xun'er's small face.

Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction and took out a jade box sealed with special techniques from his Storage Ring. He then used a gentle force of energy to slowly guide the small golden spark floating in mid-air. After leading it above the jade box, Xiao Yan formed a seal with his right hand.

"Seal!" Xiao Yan gave a low shout.

Energy chains engraved with special techniques suddenly appeared on the surface of the jade box, darting into the air to pull the small spark into the box and forming a light barrier to seal it. Finally, the light on the surface of the jade box dimmed once more, returning to silence.

"Phew." Xiao Yan exhaled and carefully placed the jade box back into his Storage Ring.

"Brother Xiao Yan is quite well-prepared." Xiao Xun'er, who was sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat regulating her breathing, looked at Xiao Yan with her bright, large eyes.

"Muah." Xiao Yan suddenly stepped forward, pulled Xiao Xun'er into his arms, and left a light kiss on her smooth forehead.

"Thank you, Sister Xun'er. Rest well, and wait for my good news." With that, Xiao Yan rose and walked out.

"Ahhh, damn it! My body is out of control again. What did I just do? We're still just kids!"

Xiao Yan's retreating figure seemed unusually hurried.

Xiao Xun'er's delicate, elegant face was filled with shock and daze. After spending a few seconds in a stupor, her complexion suddenly flushed a deep red.

Xiao Xun'er tentatively reached out her small hand to touch the forehead where the mark had just been left, murmuring, "Damn it, Brother Xiao Yan, I'm a girl too, you know."

... Ling Ying, perched on the rafters, looked up at Wangtian.

"You can't see me, you can't see me. I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."
