"Hehe, I didn't expect Lord Xiao Yan to enjoy joking." Gu Yang's smile froze on his face, then he awkwardly changed the subject with another joke.

"Lord Xiao Yan, please be busy. I... I won't bother you any longer. I'm leaving now..." Gu Yang said, preparing to walk out of the Secret Chamber.

But as soon as he turned around, a large hand grabbed the top of his head, and Xiao Yan's voice rang out behind him.

"Did I let you leave?" The tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Yang tensed up almost instantly, a chill running from his head to his toes.

It seems he can't escape today.

Tragically, he can't even bring himself to self-destruct now.

"Elder Gu Yang, don't be nervous, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Xiao Yan's voice rang out, like a demon's whisper, crawling into Gu Yang's ears and causing his soul to tremble wildly.

He felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and his eyelids were drooping.

Immediately afterwards, the Gu Yang rolled its eyes back and collapsed to the ground, completely silent.

In order not to alert the enemy, Xiao Yan did not kill Gu Yang, but instead put him into a deep coma, rendering him a vegetable.

With Dou Qi within him, Gu Yang wouldn't die anytime soon.

When he finally dies, it will be the time for Xiao Yan to annihilate the Hun Clan.

After storing the Gu Yang in Secret Chamber and taking the Tou She Ancient God Jade, Xiao Yan set up several Restrictions to completely hide the Secret Chamber.

After finishing, Xiao Yan left the Gu Clan ancestral hall and returned to his residence in the Ancient Realm.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you're back!"

Sensing Xiao Yan's presence, Xun'er jogged out to greet him, her pretty face beaming with joy.

"What, you already miss me after only being apart for a short while?" Xiao Yan patted Xun'er's head and teased her with a smile.

"Brother Xiao Yan ~"

Xiao Yan always acts so ambiguously, how could Xun'er stand little girl? She buried her blushing face in Xiao Yan's arms, feeling incredibly shy.

Subsequently, Xun'er also sensed the familiar, unique aura of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame emanating from Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you've already refined the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?" A look of surprise and astonishment appeared on Xun'er's face.

How long has it been? Brother Xiao Yan has already refined the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?

That's a bit too fast.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, opening his palm to reveal a fusion flame of six colors rising from it.

Cyan, blue, transparent, purplish-black, light black, and gold.

These are the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Sea Heart Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, the Three Thousand Burning Flames, the Nine Nether Wind Flame, and the newly acquired Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

"Brother Xiao Yan is amazing!" Xun'er exclaimed sincerely as she looked at the Fused Heavenly Flame.

"Want to touch it? It feels really good." Xiao Yan smiled and looked at Xun'er, coaxing her gently.

Xun'er was clearly somewhat surprised by Xiao Yan's words.

This terrifying Heavenly Flames feels comfortable to the touch? Shouldn't it be scalding hot?

However, Xun'er trusts Xiao Yan unconditionally, so she doesn't worry that Xiao Yan might harm her.

Without hesitation.

Following the instructions, she reached out her delicate hand towards the colorful Heavenly Flames that was leaping in Xiao Yan's hand.

The moment her fingertips touched the Heavenly Flames, the scorching heat she had imagined did not occur. Xun'er felt an extremely gentle force wrapping around her fingertips, making her internal Dou Qi even stronger and more robust, and she felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

Xiao Yan smiled gently, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

"Yes!" Xun'er nodded excitedly.

When she withdrew her small hand from the Heavenly Flames, a ring composed of six colors appeared on the middle finger of her left hand.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what's this?" Xun'er asked curiously, touching the ring on her finger.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, took Xun'er's hand, and explained gently, "This is a custom I read about in a storybook. After two people confirm their relationship, they will put a ring on the finger of the person they love as a token of their love."

This ring of Heavenly Flames has more than just a simple symbolic meaning.

Among them was a primordial Child Flame that Xiao Yan Fused Heavenly Flame. After being processed by Xiao Yan, Xun'er could not only use it in battle, but also greatly improve Xun'er efficiency in refining Dou Qi.

It's a great treasure that can enhance Xun'er's Dou Qi condensation level and Dou Qi refining speed.

Hearing Xiao Yan's explanation, Xun'er felt quite curious.

In her understanding, besides being aesthetically pleasing, wearing Storage Rings on the hand is also for storing things.

This was the first time she had ever heard of something being used as a token of love.

This made her feel both curious and deeply moved.

At the same time, Xun'er also had the idea of giving Brother Xiao Yan a ring in the future.

Since it's a mutual gift, it can't just be Brother Xiao Yan giving it to her; she has to give one to Brother Xiao Yan as well. That's what makes it a token of their love.

Little did they know, it was Xun'er's very idea that would soon give Xiao Yan a real headache...

"Let me tell you, there's a rule about which finger you wear a ring on." Seeing Xun'er's obvious delight, Xiao Yan explained it to her again.

"What's the significance of that?" Xun'er blinked her beautiful big eyes, her curiosity piqued.

"For example, this ring I gave you symbolizes that you're in the honeymoon phase and already engaged," Xiao Yan explained with a smile, stroking the ring on Xun'er's left middle finger.

As he spoke, Xiao Yan gently pinched Xun'er's nose and teased her with a smile, "That means you, my little flower, are already taken!"

"Brother Xiao Yan ~" Xun'er couldn't stand Xiao Yan's direct teasing in such a sweet atmosphere. Her already flushed face turned as red as an apple, looking so delicious that one couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"Xun'er, you're so beautiful." Looking at Xun'er's blushing face, Xiao Yan praised her sincerely.

As he spoke, his hands began to wander.

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Zhu Kun, and the Yellow Springs Demon Saint arrived at the location of the Ancient Realm Heavenly Tomb.

The four eventually stopped on a mountain peak.

After regaining his footing, Xiao Yan looked at Zhu Kun and Yellow Springs Demon Saint: "Thank you for your hard work during this time, Father-in-law and Senior Huang Quan."

"We're all family, why be so polite? Your business is my business," Zhu Kun said, patting his chest.

Since their battle in the Ancient Xiao Yan Ancient Emperor Space, the relationship between the two has become even stronger.

Their relationship wasn't like that of Father-in-law and son-in-law; it was more like that of good brothers and good friends.

"With Brother Zhu Kun and I guarding here, young friend Xiao Yan, you can do as you please without worry," the Yellow Springs Demon Saint said with a faint smile.

"Then thank you both very much." Xiao Yan nodded and smiled.

Xun'er, standing beside him, did the same, thanking the two of them along with Xiao Yan, showing a hint of a harmonious couple.

Although Zhu Kun disliked Gu Yuan, he still had a good impression of Xun'er.

After saying this, Zhu Kun's large hand transformed into a dragon claw, and then he suddenly grabbed at the void.

The void Space Fluctuation, and then a pitch-black rift was forcibly torn open.

An ancient and wild aura emanated from the crack.
