"What's wrong?"
"Look at the Little Medical Fairy!"
"Little Medical Fairy?"
Ye Feng raised his gaze to the heavens, eyes piercing through the void like a blade.
Above a world of scorching magma, a graceful silhouette floated, engulfed in surging fire. Xiao Yixian was refining the demon flame within her, her aura unstable and surging violently.
"Hohoho!"
The origin of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame seemed to sense something and began to thrash wildly inside her. The temperature exploded to terrifying levels. Within her body, delicate meridians turned to ash. Even some of her bones began to soften and distort under the pressure.
Outside the flame domain, Queen Medusa, Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, Zi Yan, and others watched in shock. Xiao Yixian's body had shrunk drastically—nearly halved in size—and she thrashed in agony, her screams echoing like the howls of a soul burning in purgatory.
"She's not faking it this time," Ya Fei murmured, eyes trembling.
"Faking it?" Ye Feng's gaze sharpened as he turned to her.
Feeling his stare, Ya Fei looked away, clearly guilty.
Back when she refined the Fallen Heart Flame, Ya Fei had exaggerated her suffering and put on quite the show. It was during that moment she seized the opportunity to become Ye Feng's woman. To this day, Ye Feng had no idea that she had only pretended to be overwhelmed to seduce him.
But Xiao Yixian… she wasn't pretending.
Ye Feng's fists clenched. The Emperor Flame he acquired through the system had spared him from pain. He had never truly understood what it meant to endure a Heavenly flame.
Now, hearing Xiao Yixian's tormented cries, he finally did. Each scream sliced through his heart like a hot blade.
So this… this is the price of absorbing a Heavenly flame.
"Endure it for me!" came Xiao Yixian's voice—hoarse, desperate, and echoing through the inferno.
But her body was breaking down. The Pure Lotus Demonic Flame was too vast and overwhelming. The flames invaded her entire body, threatening to devour her spirit, her soul—her very essence.
If this continued, she would burn from the inside out.
"Feng! If this keeps up, she'll die!" Queen Medusa growled. "Think of something!"
"What else can we do? She needs to vent the flame's desire!" Ya Fei bit her lip and added, "And when it comes to venting that kind of desire... only you can do it."
"Me?"
"Obviously."
"But she's my friend..."
"Young Master Ye," Ya Fei stepped closer, whispering. "The Little Medical Fairy likes you. Don't pretend you don't know."
Her words struck something deep in him.
"If you know, then why hesitate?" she smiled slyly. "Unless… you want me to help you both?"
Ye Feng raised a brow and smirked. "Alright then. Come with me."
"Wha—?!"
Ya Fei froze, face flushing crimson.
She shot a glance at Queen Medusa and the others nearby. If they weren't here, she might've actually followed through.
"Stop joking!" she snapped. "Just go! The longer you wait, the more she suffers!"
Ye Feng nodded, his face turning serious.
With a thought, he plunged into the flame space.
Inside the hellish inferno, Xiao Yixian was on the verge of collapse. When Ye Feng appeared, her dimming consciousness flickered back.
"Ye Feng... I—!"
Before she could finish, her body moved on instinct, arms wrapping around his waist, clutching him like her lifeline.
She was trembling, panting heavily. As a doctor, she knew what would happen if this continued.
"The fire must be released," Ye Feng said softly. "Xiao Yixian… be my woman. You've liked me for a long time, haven't you?"
Xiao Yixian blinked in disbelief, then immediately wanted to punch him.
What kind of guy says that in this situation?!
But the fire was too much. Her thoughts were melting away, her control slipping.
And then, her red lips found his.

A Month Later...
The battle between Xiao Yan and Ye Feng had come to a close, leaving behind a massive scar on the earth that stretched beyond the horizon. Luckily, the battle took place in a remote area, sparing Zhongzhou's prosperity.
The Eight Ancient Clans—Ancient Tribe, Flame Tribe, Thunder Tribe, Soul Tribe—still stood firm. The Xiao Clan, once in decline, was rising again thanks to Xiao Yu, who had awakened the blood of a Dou Emperor.
As for the Soul Clan, their Emperor Hun Tian vanished after stepping down as clan leader. The truth had broken him—after all his efforts to collect the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, one of the fragments had been destroyed.
The Heavenly Palace... the Chaos Saint...
Two names that stirred awe and fear.
Though the Heavenly Palace didn't rule the Dou Qi Continent, its master—Ye Feng—had ascended to a terrifying level. He was a Chaos Sage, one who had achieved the peak in Dou Qi, spirit, and body.
Under the joint rule of Queen Medusa and Yun Yun, the Heavenly Palace had become a protector of peace across the land.
Ye Feng, however, had barely known rest.
Throughout the month, women close to him showed constant "concern" for his health.
Mu Qingluan. Zi Yan. Feng Qing'er.
Even Nalan Yanran, once his student, eventually crossed the line of no return.

Qingshan Town
Outside a humble medical clinic, a long line of mercenaries and wounded soldiers waited, many groaning in pain. Still, no one dared to skip the queue.
It didn't matter how noble your background was—only those with a number could enter.
Everyone remembered the day a proud Dou Zong violated the rules and was instantly melted into a puddle.
Ever since then, no one questioned the authority of the kind-looking girl in the white dress—the Little Medical Fairy.
"Master, he's here."
"Who?"
"Him."
A girl in the clinic pointed at Ye Feng, who strode confidently toward the consultation desk.
"Chang Xi, come handle this patient. I need a moment," Xiao Yixian said with a mysterious smile, rising to meet Ye Feng.
"Yes, Master!" the girl called Chang Xi quickly took her place.
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes at the girl. "Chang Xi…?"
"My disciple," Xiao Yixian said with a proud smile. "You always have so many women around you. Why can't I have a female disciple?"
"Chang Xi… Chang Xi…"
Ye Feng muttered the name repeatedly.
"What's wrong with it?" Xiao Yixian tilted her head curiously.
"Nothing." He smiled faintly. But in the depths of his heart, a thought surfaced: Chang Xi—wasn't that one of Di Jun's wives?
Could this girl... become his daughter-in-law someday?
It wasn't an impossible thought. After all, Queen Medusa insisted: if she bore a boy, he'd be named Di Jun. If it was a girl, she'd be called Nüwa.
Just thinking about it gave Ye Feng a headache.
"I need to leave for a while," he said gently.
"You're leaving the moment you came to visit me?"
"I must. During the battle with Xiao Yan, I sensed a familiar aura through the void—traces of the Douluo God Realm."
Ye Feng took Xiao Yixian's delicate hand. "That's where I come from. I have wife there… people I've been away from for too long. They must be worried. I must bring them back—to reunite with you."
Xiao Yixian looked into his eyes, then smiled faintly. "You're right. I won't stop you. But…"
"But?"
"Stay with me tonight. Leave at dawn tomorrow."
