Take Her Home to Be My Little Brother's Wife

Huo Ling'er gave a soft huff. "I don't want any!"

She was secretly astonished, too. She hadn't expected this fellow, who looked about her age, to be so tough.

Shi Teng ignored Huo Ling'er and went over to the hot pot to eat by himself.

He nodded as he ate, his face full of enjoyment. "Mm, this beef's gotten a little overcooked!"

Seeing how heartily Shi Teng ate, and smelling the hot pot's aroma wafting through the air, Huo Ling'er's stomach couldn't help rumbling.

She raised her chin slightly and swaggered over.

Picking up a pair of chopsticks, she slipped a piece of beef into her mouth.

Shi Teng looked up at her with a faint smile. "Didn't you say you weren't eating?"

The spice brought a flush to Huo Ling'er's face. "Now I feel like eating!" she said somewhat haughtily.

Shi Teng couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

His little brother would have plenty to suffer in the future anyway. He would surely get beaten every day.

After just one bite, Huo Ling'er fell completely in love with hot pot. Although it was both numbing and spicy, the intense sensation set every cell in her body ablaze.

She had never imagined such delicious food existed.

Huo Ling'er ate several pieces of beef in a row.

Accepting someone's gifts tied your hands; eating their food softened your tongue.

She coughed lightly a few times, then said, "Since I've eaten your hot pot, we're even over you killing my white tiger!"

Shi Teng smiled. "You think we're even just because you say so? I still have to take you back to the village to be my little brother's wife!"

A fierce light shot from Huo Ling'er's eyes, giving Shi Teng a fright. He feared she might send the hot pot flying with a kick.

He hastily changed his tune. "How about we try some of this white tiger meat?"

Holding her chopsticks, Huo Ling'er nodded thoughtfully.

She wanted to find out what this white tiger meat tasted like, too.

It was silky and tender in her mouth, with a much better texture than the Blazing Fire Divine Bull.

Next, Shi Teng ran into the woods to pick some fresh mushrooms.

Between them, they ate a full half of the Blazing Fire Divine Bull and one tiger leg.

Huo Ling'er gently rubbed her belly with her right hand. Her rosy little face was full of contentment, and her earlier anger had long since vanished without a trace.

Then she took another sip of soup, and a red glow unexpectedly radiated from her body, enveloping her.

Shock appeared on Huo Ling'er's face.

"Ah, I'm actually breaking through just like that!"

Shi Teng chuckled. "Of course. This is the Perfectly Nourishing Soup! There's a hundred-thousand-year-old immortal herb in it!"

Huo Ling'er sat cross-legged, three cave heavens appearing around her as the surrounding spiritual energy began surging toward her.

Shi Teng's brows twitched. This girl had already opened three cave heavens.

Above the Blood Moving Realm was the Cave Heaven Realm.

Opening a cave heaven was tantamount to seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, continuously drawing divine essence directly from the outside world to replenish oneself. One could have at most ten cave heavens.

Generally speaking, opening ten cave heavens was already extraordinarily difficult.

In Perfect World, only people such as Shi Yi and Yue Chan could accomplish it.

After opening his tenth cave heaven, Shi Hao felt there was still a path forward in this realm, so he recreated his ten great cave heavens. The newly opened cave heavens were incomparably vast and radiated endless divine power.

Afterward, Shi Hao staked his life on connecting all ten cave heavens, forming a brilliant divine ring. Standing at its center, he formed a fleshly cave heaven within himself. The ten cave heavens resonated, and vital essence came pouring in.

Shi Teng had long since sensed the immense power within him, surging mightily like the waters of the Yellow River.

It was time to attempt a breakthrough into the Cave Heaven Realm.

The Blood Moving Realm ultimately focused only on strength. Only by entering the Cave Heaven Realm could he gain even the slightest foothold in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Shi Teng said, "Little Gold, stand guard for me!"

The Golden-Winged Roc let out a low cry and puffed up its body as it stood on the ground, looking even larger.

Shi Teng sat cross-legged and circulated the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art within his body.

A dragon's roar soared into the sky. The surrounding spiritual energy swarmed toward Shi Teng like seawater, instantly flowing into his body.

Shi Teng sucked the surrounding spiritual energy completely dry.

Huo Ling'er was forced to awaken from her breakthrough.

She had intended to pick a fight with Shi Teng. If she couldn't break through, then no one else could either.

But when she opened her eyes, she was utterly dumbstruck.

An enormous Azure Dragon enveloped Shi Teng's body. A golden cave heaven appeared on his forehead, and endless spiritual energy surged into it, forming a massive vortex.

Shock appeared on Huo Ling'er's face.

"Th-this kid's only opening his first cave heaven, and it's already this imposing!"

The surrounding spiritual energy ran dry.

Shi Teng faintly sensed his breakthrough faltering, but he had already reached its final stage. If he failed now, it would affect his future cultivation.

With a slight stir of his will, a hundred-thousand-year-old cockscomb phoenix sunflower formed a phantom Phoenix and merged into his first cave heaven.

Next came an endless supply of fierce beast treasure blood, along with nearly a hundred pieces of fierce beast essence and Treasure Bones.

Shi Teng had originally intended to bring all of these back to Stone Village.

Huo Ling'er was completely dumbfounded. "Can this kid absorb all that? He'd better not explode and die!"

"Roar!"

Another roar rose from deep within Shi Teng. The Primordial Azure Dragon's body actually began taking tangible form, as though a Primordial Azure Dragon were coiled around him.

Although this was only his first cave heaven, even Huo Ling'er was shocked by the might it radiated.

"Who's cultivating here? They've sucked all the surrounding spiritual energy dry!"

Just then, four cultivators suddenly leaped out of the woods. They were in their thirties, and the backs of their dark brown clothes bore three large characters spelling out Demon Spirit Lake.

When they saw the scene before them, they too froze in astonishment.

"His first cave heaven is already this powerful!"

"Look, there's so much essence and so many Treasure Bones inside his cave heaven!"

"To think there's such a gifted young man in the Great Wilderness!"

A tall, slender young man beside them asked, "Boss, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? Rob him, of course! If we let him grow, our Demon Spirit Lake will have another powerful enemy!"

Greed appeared on all four faces, and they immediately lunged at Shi Teng.

Shi Teng was in the middle of breaking through and couldn't afford any distraction.

The slightest mishap could make his cave heaven explode, very likely leaving him dead and his cultivation extinguished.

Even if he survived, it would severely affect his cultivation.

Huo Ling'er naturally understood how serious this was. With a wave of her right hand, four fireballs slammed down at their feet. "Stop! If you dare try anything, don't blame me for showing you no mercy!"

The man leading them looked at Huo Ling'er, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips. "Little girl, you've filled out quite nicely!"

Seeing the lecherous look in his eyes, Huo Ling'er instantly flew into a rage.

"You're courting death!"

She launched herself forward, sending a string of fireballs hurtling down at the four men.

The four sprang up and swiftly dodged, moving to surround Huo Ling'er.

Sensing the might radiating from them, Huo Ling'er's brows drew together slightly. All four were Cave Heaven Realm cultivators.

Against someone at the same level within the Cave Heaven Realm, Huo Ling'er was naturally invincible.

But there were four Cave Heaven Realm opponents, which made things rather troublesome.

A vicious gleam appeared on the leading man's face. A phantom Greedy Wolf manifested around him, and he immediately lunged at Huo Ling'er.

Another man wasted no time either, driving straight toward Huo Ling'er with a Demon Blade in his hand.

A fierce light shot from Huo Ling'er's eyes. "Flame Impact!"

A mass of blazing fire formed around her and swept outward, instantly forcing all four men back.
