You Don't Want Her? Then Xun'er Will Be Betrothed to Someone Else

"Heavenly Flames?"

"A Heavenly Flame gained sentience?"

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen both cried out in surprise. Xiao Yan's reaction was understandable, given his limited experience, but Yao Chen was genuinely stunned.

Heavenly Flames were exceedingly rare existences between heaven and earth. Yao Chen had once spent countless efforts to obtain one.

But for one to gain sentience on its own and then cultivate to the level of a Dou Di?

If anyone said such a thing, Yao Chen would only think they had lost their mind.

But since Senior had said it, it must be true. After all, he was a supreme figure who had attempted to break through to Dou Di. It was only natural that he would know some secrets...

"And so, Tou She Ancient God, a Heavenly Flame that gained sentience, truly reached the pinnacle by using the Flame Mantra to devour other Heavenly Flames!"

Xiao Xuan's gaze flickered as he explained softly. The light in his eyes suggested he was considering something.

If that were the case, then with his help, Little Yanzi might well be able to cultivate to the same realm as Tou She Ancient God.

Xiao Xuan knew that Tou She Ancient God's true legacy had never appeared in the world. With Little Yanzi's talent, his own help, and Tou She Ancient God's legacy...

The Xiao Clan may yet give birth to another Dou Di besides me.

Without a doubt, Xiao Xuan was tempted.

"Little Yanzi, what do you think?"

Changing the subject, Xiao Xuan decided to ask Xiao Yan's opinion. If he objected, Xiao Xuan would accept that too.

It depends on his fate!

"Huh?"

Xiao Yan's face was full of astonishment. He had been talented before, but only in a small place like Wutan City. How could his horizons keep up?

By rights, he had even less place to speak on how he should cultivate from here on.

How could Xiao Yan possibly give a coherent answer about what cultivation technique to use or how best to cultivate?

Wasn't this asking the impossible?

"Ancestor, I trust you. You decide! You definitely wouldn't harm me anyway."

With a sincere look on his face, Xiao Yan kicked the ball right back. He didn't mind either way. All roads led to Rome.

Besides, he practically lived next door to Rome already.

Did it really matter how he cultivated?

"You little rascal!" Xiao Xuan chuckled, then said solemnly, "Personally, I hope you'll cultivate the Flame Mantra. Although without meeting any prerequisites, it's only Yellow Tier Low Grade."

"But I'll find Heavenly Flames for you."

"I'll also give you considerable help in these areas as you cultivate in the future. Though every Heavenly Flame between heaven and earth is exceedingly rare, there are still some out there."

Xiao Xuan's words showed his absolute confidence.

Back then, he had fused three Heavenly Flames into his body in one go. If he hadn't thought their power was nothing special, he might have reached the same heights as Tou She Ancient God.

They were both experts at playing with fire. Xiao Xuan felt that, aside from the inferior nature of his existence, Tou She Ancient God had no advantage over him in any other respect.

"Of course, cultivating this kind of technique will inevitably bring a great deal of pain. Can you endure it?"

At the end, Xiao Xuan added another remark. It was as simple as a youngster imagined; one would only dare say they could grit their teeth and bear it before actually experiencing it.

Back then, even with Xiao Xuan's cultivation reaching the heights of creation, he had suffered considerably while fusing those three lower-level Heavenly Flames.

To his surprise, however, Xiao Yan immediately nodded vigorously.

This was absolutely a good thing!

Just choosing to cultivate this technique would bring him so many benefits, and his ancestor would personally look after him?

Aside from the slight pain he would have to endure while cultivating, how was this any different from getting it all for free?

Anyone who refused would be a fool!

"Heh! I hope you can still be like this in the future!"

Xiao Xuan said nothing more. Xiao Yan had chosen his own path, and complaining later would do him no good.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Xuan casually pointed a finger, gathering a measure of soul power and sweeping up the surrounding natural Qi before stuffing it all into Xiao Yan's body.

No one had received such treatment just now.

Xiao Yan's performance had more or less earned Xiao Xuan's approval.

"You can discover its subtle uses yourself! In any case, it's good for you."

Xiao Xuan waved his hand and was about to send Yao Chen and Xiao Yan away. After all, low-level cultivation hardly required his supervision.

But the next second, he changed his mind.

"I see you're close to that little girl?"

Xiao Xuan had seen Xun'er hiding in the Xiao Clan.

Gu Clan bloodline!

Their skin was as thick as ever.

But when had they become so bold? In that case, he would gladly accept their gift.

A potential Divine Grade Bloodline, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame passed down through generations of the Gu Clan.

It was a pillow delivered just as he was growing sleepy. A Heavenly Flame ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking had come right to his door. Even Xiao Xuan had no confidence in finding a divine object of that level.

And from the looks of it, that girl from the Gu Clan seemed to be quite close to Little Yanzi.

"Xiao Zhan, come here a moment!"

His voice crossed a vast distance and poured straight into Xiao Zhan's head.

"This girl here. How did she come to be in our Xiao Clan?"

With a gentle wave, Xiao Xuan formed an image of Xun'er for them to see.

"Xun'er?"

"What about her?"

Xiao Yan cried out in surprise, and Xiao Zhan was somewhat puzzled as well.

When Xiao Xun'er had come before, he had agreed to take her in because of the resources that came with her. Even though he knew the faction behind her was powerful, before his ancestor...

They should be nothing but a fart!

It had to be said that his ancestor had tempered Xiao Zhan's courage until it was beyond reproach.

Having just advanced to Dou Ling, he already dared to make boasts he would never have dreamed of before.

"I see!"

"Then I'll make the decision. Betroth her to Little Yanzi. That girl called Xun'er is indeed quite good."

Yes, a potential Divine Grade Dou Di Bloodline, plus the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame she had inherited. Who could say she wasn't good?

"Huh?"

"This... all right!"

Xiao Yan looked even more astonished, but Xiao Zhan felt it was fine. His boy was just getting a wife a little early. What was the big deal?

Hadn't their ancestor said earlier that they should spread the Xiao Clan's branches and leaves sooner?

Besides, since their ancestor said she was good, they certainly couldn't pass her up.

Moreover, Xiao Zhan had a very favorable impression of Xiao Xun'er. She had stayed by Little Yanzi's side throughout his three years at rock bottom, which was rare.

She was loyal and caring, and with their ancestor's word on top of that, didn't everything follow naturally?

"Ancestor, I... I think of Xun'er as a younger sister."

Xiao Yan's face turned bright red. His engagement had only been broken off that day, and now he had another fiancée that very night... Wasn't that too scummy?

In any case, he had some trouble accepting it.

"You don't want her? That's easy, then. Xiao Zhan, see if there are any other youngsters of suitable age in the clan and betroth Xun'er to one of them. In any case, that girl is staying in the Xiao Clan from now on."

Xiao Xuan immediately proposed a second plan.

The meat would stay and stew in their own pot, no matter what.

Besides, the Gu Clan owed him this. He would consider it a little interest. If Little Yanzi didn't want her, so be it! The Xiao Clan had plenty of young, vigorous men.

"A-Ancestor, this... isn't right, is it?"

Pulling a long face, Xiao Yan felt ready to explode.
