BTTH: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 56: A Headache



As time in the ruins stretched on, a wicked fire began to rise within him.

The number one Heavenly Flame on the Heavenly Flame ranking, a wicked fire in his lower abdomen!

With the emergence of this wicked fire, Xiao Yan, who had been slouched over, immediately straightened his head, feeling a headache coming on.

"Cousin!" He couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Yao Ling beside him, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid. At this moment, Yao Ling, who was already extremely beautiful, seemed to radiate a dazzling charm in his eyes.

"What are you doing!" Yao Ling frowned at Xiao Yan's behavior, and snorted coldly.

However, a moment later, a similar flame rose from within her body.

In an instant, Yao Ling's eyes became briefly dazed, and a captivating blush bloomed on her face, which had always been as cold as ice.

This appearance, with its hint of desire beneath the coldness, gave Xiao Yan an even bigger headache.

Feeling the wisps of wicked fire rising within her, Yao Ling suddenly bit her tongue fiercely, a sense of clarity rising in her mind. She glanced at Xiao Yan, who was reaching for her, and snorted coldly.

"If you come any closer, I'll chop off your paws." Hearing this voice, Xiao Yan's outstretched hand swiftly retracted, and his dazed gaze instantly cleared.

"The curse in this ruin is truly powerful," Xiao Yan sighed, having failed to gain any advantage.

"Heh," Yao Ling sneered, whispering, "Among all the Saint Son-level geniuses I've encountered, you aren't the most powerful, but you certainly have the thickest skin."

"Hehe, you flatter me, Cousin," Xiao Yan's words couldn't help but make Yao Ling roll her eyes.

However, after considering for a moment, she still took out two Clarity Spirit Pills from her storage ring and handed one to Xiao Yan.

"The strange aura in this ruin targets the soul. As long as your soul power is strong enough, it won't have any fundamental effect on you."

Xiao Yan unceremoniously tossed the Clarity Spirit Pill into his mouth, and in an instant, a near-freezing coolness emanated from the depths of his soul.

"Hoo!" The two exhaled a breath of turbid air, their eyes regaining clarity as they continued to fly forward.

"Your soul strength has also reached the seventh rank?" Yao Ling's eyes revealed a hint of surprise upon seeing Xiao Yan effortlessly shake off the influence of the area's strange aura.

"Is it only permissible for you to be a seventh-rank one?" Xiao Yan chuckled.

"In that case, you can be considered to have the talent of a Saint Son." Yao Ling nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

At the age of fifteen, a Dou Huang Emperor cultivation, and a seventh-rank Alchemist's soul… even compared to her brother Yao Tian back then, he was not at all inferior, even slightly stronger.

If that was the case, having two Half-Saint experts escorting him made sense.

Xiao Yan didn't speak further. He had read about the bizarre aura within the ruins in Yao Lao's scroll long ago. Ordinary Dou Huang Emperors could only endure it for about an hour. Any longer, and they would lose their minds.

Those Dou Huang Emperors who had come to harass Yao Ling weren't truly lost; most of them were genuinely coveting her beauty.

There was once a Dou Huang Emperor who stayed here for an hour. Then the passage closed, and he was trapped for a day. When he was discovered the next day by newcomers, he had already become a machine that only knew how to perform primitive actions.

He was also the first Dou Huang expert in this ruin to die from excessive consumption of a certain essence.

Alchemists, on the other hand, could stay here longer. There was once a Sixth Grade Alchemist who stayed here for a full day and night, and finally left with a shred of clarity.

Of course, after leaving, this Alchemist also fell into a state of madness that lasted for half a month. It was said that in the end, not only did his cultivation drop to Dou Wang, but even his soul was damaged.

However, for Xiao Yan and Yao Ling, both of whom possessed Seventh Grade souls, staying for a day and night shouldn't be a problem.

A moment later, the two arrived at the altar burning with black and white flames. Nearly ten people were already gathered at the edge of the ancient altar.

The two leading figures had the emblem of a Seventh Grade Alchemist embroidered on their brocades.

The Dou Qi Continent was vast and boundless. Even the Central Region was enormous. Talents who could reach the Seventh Grade at the Dou Huang stage weren't limited to the Alchemist Tower and the ancient clans.

Moreover, there were also some elders whose cultivation was difficult to advance after they grew older, but whose souls were slowly growing stronger.

Seeing Xiao Yan and Yao Ling slowly descend nearby, the two Seventh Grade Alchemists first narrowed their eyes, and then saw the seven glittering golden stars on Yao Ling's brocade robe.

As the two groups turned their gazes to Yao Ling's exquisitely beautiful and cold face, a barely concealed heat ignited in their eyes.

A stunning, seventh-grade female Alchemist held immense allure for men, and under the influence of this strange atmosphere, that attraction morphed directly into raw desire.

Sensing the scorching gazes, Yao Ling didn't utter a word, instead unleashing a powerful soul force.

It swept over the crowd.

Those present were no simple individuals. They were stunned by Yao Ling's terrifying soul force, but quickly recovered, regaining their clarity. Their eyes then turned to her with a sense of caution.

"Greetings, everyone. I am Yao Ling of the Yao Clan. My sole purpose here is the Yin-Yang Twin Flames. I have no interest in any other treasures. I hope I can ask for the Yao Clan's face."

The latest novel is first published on [69shu.com].

Upon hearing Yao Ling's words, the two seventh-grade Alchemists' expressions shifted.

At their level, though not yet qualified to directly engage with the ancient clans, they were, however, privy to some hidden secrets.

If the Alchemist Tower was the holy land in the hearts of all Alchemists, then the Yao Clan was a legendary altar, unattainable and revered.

The older Alchemist pondered for a moment, a thoughtful expression in his eyes. Finally, he nodded and said, "Since even the Yao Clan has intervened, it seems this Yin-Yang Twin Flames is beyond my reach. In that case, it's better to establish a friendly relationship with your clan."

"In that case, thank you, sir. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will naturally repay this favor," Yao Ling's cold expression softened slightly, a hint of polite smile appearing.

"Hehe, your words are enough, young lady," the old man nodded slightly, waving at the Dou Huangs behind him, who were staring at Yao Ling with a somewhat dazed expression. Amidst their reluctant gazes, he led his team to withdraw.

On the other side, the leading Rank 7 Alchemist didn't leave.

As a child, he had unexpectedly obtained a small portion of the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's inheritance. With his decent talent, he had cultivated to the peak of Dou Huang within a mere thirty years, and his Alchemy skills had also reached Rank 7.

Over the years, the men who were once stronger than him had been trampled under his feet, and the women stronger than him had been subdued beneath him.

This smooth journey made him feel like the fabled son of destiny. Instead of making him want to back down, Yao Ling's identity only made him more excited.

"A Yao Clan beauty, is it?" The man stared at Yao Ling with an evil look. "I've heard the Yao Clan is a sacred place in the hearts of all Alchemists. I wonder what the goddess in that sacred place tastes like."

Clap clap clap!

"Excellent, well said!" Xiao Yan, who had been silent, couldn't help but clap and praise. "Your spirit is truly a model for us."

The sinister man was stunned for a moment, then a lecherous smile spread across his face. "Little brother, if you're willing to join my side now, I might even let you taste the goddess yourself."

"Really?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

This time, even the usually calm Yao Ling's expression finally changed.
