Heh, this really isn't ordinary. Even elemental flame can't burn it immediately.
But that won't last," Ye Chen murmured.
The rainbow glow dimmed gradually as the flames intensified. Another surge of fire from Yao Chen finally overwhelmed it.
The flower wilted instantly, dropping small, multicolored dewdrops.
The droplets merged into a single radiant pearl, glowing with seven colors.
Without hesitation, Yao Chen swallowed the pearl.
Ye Chen's eyes widened. Suddenly, a vast, terrifying soul force erupted from Yao Chen, radiating outward in ripples!
The power was so intense that it could annihilate Ye Chen's soul in an instant.
He narrowed his eyes and forced himself calm. If the attack had struck him fully, escape would have been impossible. But he trusted Yao Chen's control.
The rippling soul energy surged toward him, and just as it reached his body, it quivered and vanished.
Cold sweat ran down Ye Chen's back. The force was suffocating, yet thrilling.
He exhaled deeply, excitement flooding his expression.
"Yao Chen, what is your current Dou Qi level?"
"Master, I've reached the Dou Zong realm. With the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, even a three-star Dou Zong would fall before me."
Ye Chen's lips curved into a smile.
"Good. As long as you serve me well, I will not shortchange you.
When we reach the Black-Corner Region, you will have the chance to personally kill that traitor Han Feng."
Yao Chen's voice was firm. "For Master, I would give my life without hesitation."
Ye Chen's heart swelled. With Yao Chen by his side.....a powerhouse and eighth-rank alchemist....he could walk freely across the Jia Ma Empire.
And this man could even cook. Truly a perfect all-around companion.
Nearby, Xiao Xun'er's face was pale. The display of soul power from Yao Chen had shocked her. Hearing their conversation, she was astonished.
A servant with Dou Zong strength?
And an eighth-rank alchemist at that?
Her eyes widened, watching Ye Chen's back. "Master… you just keep getting stronger, don't you?"
The next morning, Ye Chen woke early and ascended to the Yunlan Sect's main peak.
"Chen'er, what brings you to me?"
Cloudmistress Yun Yun had just woken, wearing simple robes, her expression lazy.
"Teacher, you promised—once I took first place in the Grand Competition, you'd help me visit the Nalan family to propose, right?"
Ye Chen's gaze flicked over her for a moment before he quickly bowed, hiding his nervousness.
"So eager already?" Yun Yun smiled teasingly.
"Well, teacher… Xun'er really can't wait…" he said awkwardly.
"Fine. In three days, I will accompany you personally to the Nalan family," she said without hesitation.
"Thank you, Teacher," Ye Chen said gratefully.
He was about to leave when Yun Yun stopped him.
"You're still cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Art, aren't you?"
She examined him carefully. His thin frame and pale face showed the toll of overtraining.
Ye Chen's expression twisted slightly. Why did she always focus on that technique?
"This pill will help."
She handed him a jade bottle.
"What's this?"
"Just take one per day. It's helpful."
"Yes, Teacher."
Back in his quarters, Ye Chen summoned Yao Chen and presented the pill.
"Master, this is a Vital Energy Pill. It strengthens the body and replenishes essence. A rare fourth-grade Dou Pill."
"Strengthen the body… replenish essence?"
Ye Chen frowned. So his teacher thought he needed it? Did she look down on him?
With his Dragon-Elephant Body, he didn't need this.
He wanted to throw it away, but in the end, he sighed.
With Yun Yun's intervention, the marriage was effortlessly confirmed.
Well… it's teacher's intention. I can't waste it."
He swallowed one pill.....but immediately regretted it.
His already fiery constitution flared uncontrollably, like gasoline on a fire.
"This… is bad."
Ye Chen glanced helplessly at Xiao Xun'er, playing with the Purple Lightning Mink.
"Xun'er… I need your help!"
After receiving the Dou Spirit Pill, the Nalan father and son were completely convinced about the engagement between Nalan Yanran and Ye Chen.
The Mitel family and the Nalan family were already renowned aristocratic clans in the imperial capital.
Combined with Ye Chen's position as the Young Sect Leader of Yunlan Sect, he naturally drew significant attention.
Once the engagement was finalized, news spread quickly across the capital.
The Young Sect Leader of Yunlan Sect would marry the eldest daughter of the Nalan family.
