Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Xiao Yanzi, you're set for life!
"Oh no!"
In Utan City, inside the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei's delicate body trembled, her heart leaping to her throat.
This evening's operation was something she had discussed with Xiao Zhan, stating that she wanted to increase the success rate of future deceptions. They would pre-stage a cooperative transport of medicinal ingredients as a smokescreen for the spies planted by the Galie Family and Oba Family within the Xiao Family.
Once the spies relayed the news, Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa would have greater trust in Chu Xiao becoming an Alchemist and beginning large-scale Medicinal Pill refining. Naturally, they would be more willing to go all out and bring people to ambush.
However, in reality, Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa would gather most of their Family's best fighters to ambush the Xiao Family's medicinal ingredient transport personnel tonight.
And "coincidentally," Xun Er was among those participating in this transport mission, leading to her "unavoidable" exposure of her strength.
All the strong individuals from the Galie Family and Oba Family would be annihilated!
This was her and Xun Er's plan: to establish this as a fait accompli first, and when Chu Xiao returned to Utan City, they would claim it was an accident, and he wouldn't discover any issues.
But she never expected that Chu Xiao, who was still "intimate" and "affectionate" with Medusa in Stone Desert City a few hours ago, would now appear in Utan City and witness the entire process.
If Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa were still alive and said something, it would definitely arouse Chu Xiao's suspicion.
After all, Ya Fei couldn't explain why she trusted Xun Er and arranged this entire scheme of luring the snake out of its hole and turning the tables!
[Xun Er]: Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa have been killed by me. Continue to act according to the original plan and don't reveal any flaws.
Just as Ya Fei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, her heart filled with unease, she suddenly received a message.
"That's great." Ya Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa were dead, no one would expose the details of their conversation with her.
In a situation where there was no one to corroborate, whatever she said would naturally be taken as truth. Even if Chu Xiao became suspicious and investigated, he wouldn't find anything.
"Xun Er Mei Mei is still reliable."
After her mind settled, Ya Fei realized that her back had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat. Her tight cheongsam was soaked, outlining her perfect figure.
Fortunately, she was in her own courtyard, and no one could see this alluring scene.
"Time for a bath." Ya Fei walked towards her bathtub.
At the same time, in the valley north of Utan City.
While Xun Er was sending the message to Ya Fei, she no longer resisted the backlash from activating the secret technique.
A sensation of weakness spread throughout her body. It was as if she had been instantly drained of all her essence, Qi, and spirit. Her delicate, jade-like Face suddenly lost all color, turning pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on the tip of her nose and forehead.
The wings on her back could no longer be maintained, and her body swayed, on the verge of collapsing.
"Young Miss Xun Er!"
"Quickly, support her!"
The members of the Xiao Family's medicinal ingredient transport team noticed Xun Er's abnormality and immediately rushed forward.
Several Dou Shi also stopped chasing the black-clothed men and turned back, preparing to act as a shield for Xun Er.
Just then, a black-purple electric light flashed in the air. Apart from Yao Lao, Ling Ying, and Hai Bodong, no one could clearly see its movement trajectory.
By the time they reacted, the black-purple electric light had transformed into a figure beside Xun Er.
"Xun Er, are you alright?" Chu Xiao reached out and wrapped an arm around Xun Er's waist, his eyes filled with genuine concern.
"Chu Xiao Ge Ge, you're back." Xun Er smiled softly, speaking weakly, "The Xiao Family, Xun Er protected them very well."
Chu Xiao's hand instantly tightened, and he smiled, "Xun Er is amazing. Your Chu Xiao Ge Ge is here, so everything is fine now."
As his voice fell, Chu Xiao raised a hand. Black-purple gilded flames rapidly condensed on it, then he pushed it forward.
The black-purple flames split into streams of fire that rained down, moving so quickly that those below could not dodge.
Everyone hit by the flames died in the extreme heat.
Everyone present: "..."
This scene seemed somewhat familiar.
Just now, Xun Er's killing method was also in this form.
Are even the Fighting Skills you use couple styles?
"Heavenly Flame!"
Yao Lao's startled voice rang out again.
This time, Xiao Yan heard it clearly and asked in his mind, "Teacher, are you saying that both Xun Er and Cousin have Heavenly Flames?"
He wasn't even a Dou Zhe yet, so he couldn't Cultivate Cultivation Techniques or Fighting Skills, nor could he learn Alchemy.
But with a high-grade Alchemist as his teacher, he had already begun learning the basic knowledge.
He also had some understanding of the existence of Heavenly Flames.
Those were treasures every Alchemist would madly pursue!
"Hmm, as your Cousin said last time, Xun Er is from the Ancient Clan. It's normal for her to have a Heavenly Flame, which also indicates her extremely high status within the Ancient Clan."
"What surprises me is that your Cousin also has a Heavenly Flame, and it seems even stronger than Xun Er's Heavenly Flame."
"This isn't just about having opportunities."
The process of refining a Heavenly Flame is a near-death experience.
When he obtained the Bone Chilling Flame, his strength was far greater than Chu Xiao's current strength, yet he still paid a heavy price.
So heavy that he didn't even have corresponding memories of before and after subjugating the Heavenly Flame. Every time he recalled it, his heart would ache, as if something precious could never be found again.
"What's so surprising about that?" Xiao Yan had blind faith in Chu Xiao, answering with a matter-of-fact expression in his mind, "If Xun Er has it, my Cousin naturally will too. He can't be worse than that woman."
Yao Lao: "..."
She is from the strongest Emperor Clan.
And you are from a fallen Emperor Clan.
Furthermore, Chu Xiao is only a distant relative of the Xiao Family.
"Last time, Cousin also said that he could communicate with Old Ancestor Xiao Xuan in the Tian Tomb. That Old Ancestor had three Heavenly Flames. It makes sense for him to pass one of them to Cousin, right?"
Xiao Yan's words sounded somewhat reasonable, making Yao Lao feel that it might be the truth.
"Heavenly Flame..." Yao Lao tried his best to suppress the excited emotions in his heart.
Xun Er, Chu Xiao, plus his own Heavenly Flame, that's already three types.
As long as someone Cultivates Burning Flame and devours these three Heavenly Flames, it can help him resurrect.
The hope he once thought was slim had unexpectedly appeared so easily before his eyes.
However, in practice, it was still full of difficulties.
Would Chu Xiao and Xun Er be willing to let Xiao Yan devour their Heavenly Flames?
And was he sure he wanted Xiao Yan to Cultivate Burning Flame?
Yao Lao was incredibly conflicted.
At this moment, after Chu Xiao dealt with all the people from the Galie Family and Oba Family at the scene and retrieved his Heavenly Flame, he said to the Xiao Family's transport team, "You all continue with your duties. I'll take Xun Er and leave first."
"Yes, Young Master!" Everyone responded with fervent eyes.
The strength displayed by Xun Er and Chu Xiao clearly surpassed that of a Great Dou Shi.
With these two Heaven-Defyingly talented juniors in the Xiao Family, how could they not prosper?
"Whoosh!"
Chu Xiao carried Xun Er back to the valley cliff, letting her stand and lean against him.
"Cousin, is future little Cousin-in-law okay?"
Xiao Yan saw Xun Er's pale Face and the sweat on her nose and forehead, and an indescribable emotion surged within him.
This person was not a member of their Xiao Family, but came from that powerful Dou Di Family, the Ancient Clan!
Her willingness to act today to eliminate the ambushers for the Xiao Family was primarily out of consideration for Chu Xiao's Face.
He truly accepted this prospective Cousin-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing Xiao Yan call her his future little Cousin-in-law, a blush appeared on Xun Er's Face.
This address was completely unexpected for her.
She had never thought that she and Chu Xiao, who had always had an unspoken understanding, would formally confirm their relationship in this manner.
Remembering that Medusa had already taken Chu Xiao's first kiss, she gently bit her lip and didn't argue.
Beside them, Hai Bodong's pupils constricted: !!!
Chu Xiao, despite having Queen Medusa as his Dao Companion, dared to have a change of heart!
If he could manage it, he would truly be a role model for their generation!
"That's right." Ling Ying secretly nodded in his heart.
Not everyone was as blind as Hai Bodong.
[Xiao Yanzi is a sensible person. He knows that Xun Er, as a member of the Ancient Clan, was able to activate a secret technique to protect the Xiao Family primarily because of my Face. Now, directly calling Xun Er his future Cousin-in-law, though seemingly teasing, actually signifies his complete acceptance of her.]
[With such good judgment, Xiao Yanzi is set for life. Xun Er is the number one wealthy beauty on the Dou Qi Continent. Any Cultivation Technique, Fighting Skill, secret technique, Medicinal Pill, or weapon that casually flows from between her fingernails would be very valuable.]
The women: "..."
With you, his future Heavenly Emperor Cousin, he's already set for life.
"However, Xun Er's love is very easy to understand," many secretly thought.
Who wouldn't want to be friends with the number one wealthy beauty on the continent?
At the same time, Chu Xiao felt the situation within Xun Er's body and replied to Xiao Yan, "This is the aftereffect of her forcibly activating a secret technique to increase her strength and using a flying secret skill."
"Aftereffect?" Xiao Yan immediately took out the porcelain bottle containing the Qiankun Qingming Pill and asked, "Cousin, can this help her heal her injuries?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xun Er's eyes, and she gained a bit more approval for Xiao Yan.
"I only have one of these for now. If it's used for Xun Er, you might really have to wait a year to recover to Dou Zhe strength." Chu Xiao's eyes showed a smile.
"This was originally given to me by you, Cousin. Of course, whoever needs it most urgently should use it," Xiao Yan replied generously.
"No need!" Xun Er lightly parted her red lips, "I only need to rest for a period of time to recover."
"Indeed, no need." Chu Xiao raised a hand, condensing the Thundergang Emperor Flame.
"I will take good care of my girlfriend. I can't let her suffer."
As his voice fell, the Thundergang Emperor Flame split into a cluster of Qinglian Earth Core Flame and Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.
Seeing this, Yao Lao could no longer remain calm.
"Another Heavenly Flame!?"
"No, two."
"Three in total..."
Could it be as Xiao Yan said, that Chu Xiao obtained Xiao Xuan's Heavenly Flame Legacy?
But it wasn't just one, but a Fusion of all three Heavenly Flames!?
