The Young Woman from Yan Clan, Huo Zhi
🕑 Added 2023-08-20 16:55:17 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 159 ---
A group of people entered the Yao Realm. From their flaming red attires and bold "Fire." characters, one could easily guess they came from a formidable background.
"Hmm, it's been a while since I visited the Yao Realm." Someone in the group uttered.
It was a young woman with crimson hair. She sported a pale red dress, seemingly covering his alluring tan physique. A veil covered her face, but the outline revealed through it was captivating. Her bright ruby eyes did not contain the slightest ripple.
She was one of the Yan Clan's Geniuses, the Possessor of Red Lotus Ye Flame, Huo Zhi.
"Xuan, gather information. We only knew Yao Clan asked for a gathering, but nothing else." Huo Zhi said calmly. After all, Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill has reached the ears of the Yan Clan's higher-ups, and she was here to confirm it.
And since this matter was secret, the Yao Clan didn't send anyone to greet them. Who knows how many undercover eyes observe them outside of Yao Realm?
They came here on the pretense of checking old friends.
A purple-clothed Elder nodded as he disappeared, gathering information about the recent event of Yao Realm. Soon, he'd get shocked by the absurdity of Yao Tian's matters.
"Let's visit, Ling'er." Huo Zhi smiled behind her veils, telling her group to check around first.
Huo Zhi jumped and floated toward the familiar yet lonely peak. She landed in the backyard of Yao Ling'er house, hearing a strange noise.
"T-Teacher... I can't hold it anymore." A groaning voice echoed, stunning Huo Zhi. The crimson-haired young woman's eyes widened in disbelief.
"So hot, it's so hot!"
"No, It's too hard for me! Please, teacher~!"
"Hehe, you asked for it. How could you stop right now?" A teasing male voice followed.
Huo Zhi blushed, not believing the reality she was currently in.
"W-What are they doing?"
Huo Zhi knew Yao Ling'er very well. Her friend was a cold, ice lady.
How could such a cold, ice lady seemingly be bullied by a male now?
Not to mention, Huo Zhi didn't remember Yao Ling'er having any teacher in her life.
Even though Huo Zhi is devoid of feelings and only cares about Heavenly Flame from a young age, it doesn't mean she knows nothing about the male and female relationship. As Yan Clan's Genius, she knew her duty.
She clenched her hand and rushed toward the house, slamming the door open.
"Stop right there!" She roared indifferently.
"..." Huo Zhi.
The sight isn't what Huo Zhi expected.
Yao Ling'er sat on a mat comfortably, controlling her Alchemy Furnace under the guidance of a handsome man in a clean black robe.
She released sweat profusely under the extreme temperature, crying like a troubled little girl.
"Keep going, and maintain your control." The handsome man in a black robe instructed Yao Ling'er like the teacher he was, but a teasing smile never left his face.
"Merge the core and the essence."
Yao Ling'er was caught between laughter and crying. She asked Baek Ain to assist her in making a troublesome 8th Tier Pill to check her Alchemy Progress, but the pill was more difficult than she expected.
It required extreme heat throughout the process, and Yao Ling'er couldn't leave her gaze on the furnace.
After a while, Yao Ling'er sighed in relief and checked the result of her painful effort.
"Clear Mind Grass Pill." She excitedly grasped the crimson-gold pill in her hand.
"Good job," Baek Ain patted Yao Ling'er head. "Now, greet your little friend."
"Friend, eh?" Yao Ling'er turned around and saw Huo Zhi, whose mouth was wide open. Even if the veil covered the lower half of her face, Yao Ling'er could still see its outline.
She did expect to see Huo Zhi soon, but not this soon!
'I want to spend more time with Teacher Lin!' Yao Ling'er complained in her heart.
She clenched her hand slightly under her long sleeve and put on a calm look. "Welcome to Yao Realm, Huo Zhi." She said respectfully. Maybe too respectful.
"I hope you enjoy your visit." She added earnestly.
"Mm, I will." Huo Zhi responded, not realizing the subtle emotion in Yao Ling'er lines.
The corner of Yao Ling'er eyes twitched as she sighed and introduced Baek Ain to Huo Zhi, "This man is my Alchemy Teacher, Grandmaster Lin Feng."
"He's an admirable person with high achievement over alchemy." She firmly continued.
'Why did you sound like a bragging wife?' Huo Zhi wondered what life-changing event turned the icy woman into this.
"And likewise, this is Huo Zhi from Yan Clan, Teacher." Yao Ling'er smiled at Baek Ain. Her act rendered Huo Zhi speechless.
Who are you?
Where is the real Yao Ling'er?
Of course, Baek Ain noticed Huo Zhi's complicated gaze and waved his sleeve casually, "You two can talk. I'll excuse myself."
"Wait, Teacher! Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, don't push yourself with training..." Yao Ling'er worriedly said.
Baek Ain shook his head and returned, "It's just a small burn, not enough to hinder my movement."
Waving his hand, Baek Ain walked out of the room. Of course, his and Huo Zhu's eyes met.
After Baek Ain left, Huo Zhi opened her mouth and asked, "What actually happened here?"
Yao Ling'er sighed and replied, "It's a long story."
"Ten days ago..."
...
...
After listening to Yao Ling'er story, Huo Zhi couldn't believe her ears for a moment.
Yao Tian, one of the greatest geniuses of this time, actually turned into a madman due to Qi Deviation!
He even tried to accuse Yao Ling'er teacher. Yet he failed, which led to a suicidal attack.
The image of Yao Tian soon turned grim in Huo Zhu's mind. It was too great of a shock because Yao Tian was supposed to be one of the potential fiances.
Thank god! Huo Zhi's personality is stern, so she hasn't chosen anyone for years, or Yao Tian will be her potential partner.
Poor Yao Tian.
"Wait, how did your teacher survive?" Huo Zhi frowned.
"If he got attacked in point black range and 7-Star Dou Saint's Explosion, his body shouldn't remain in this world anymore..."
"About that, My teacher mentioned something about the inborn physique he possessed, helping him lessen the damage. He barely explained it to me, but it was something called "True Extermination Fire Body." a forbidden technique.
Huo Zhi's eyes widened in surprise when hearing this.
Of course, she knew about the Extermination Fire Body.
The Extermination Fire Body was a method of unleashing the energy of the Heavenly Flame to its limit by merging it with one's physical body.
It required almost perfect control of the Heavenly Flame because they were far too ferocious. Even though Heavenly Flame got refined, the inside of a human's body was still too weak. No one dared to use the Heavenly Flame to alter one's constitution because they could explode anytime.
Since Yao Ling'er teacher possessed True Extermination Fire Body, It seemed the Heavenly Flame perfectly merged with his body, birthing a physique beyond any other.
This man named Lin Feng was a one in a hundred thousand years genius.
Huo Zhi's hand trembled in excitement. Such a person existed in this world?
Cough!
"Where is your teacher? I want to pay my respect to him." Huo Zhi firmly questioned.
Yao Ling'er frowned at Huo Zhi's change and cursed herself for saying too much. Now this young woman from Yan Clan is also interested in her teacher.
She's having a hard time as her teacher already has a young, beautiful, and doting wife. Now another competitor enters the battlefield.
Even then, Yao Ling'er could only nod.
'I'm Teacher Lin's only student. I have a bigger chance than her.' Yao Ling'er raised her chest proudly.
They arrived at the backyard and saw Baek Ain swinging his spear with ferocious momentum. His black robe was "actually." worn off, revealing his refined upper body.
Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi instinctively swallowed their saliva.
"W-Well, your teacher's spear technique is amazing." Huo Zhi awkwardly commented.
"Of course." Yao Ling'er nodded in agreement.
'Bitch! I can see you blush under that veil!'
'You actually dare to covet my dear Teacher Lin. He is mine!'
Baek Ain ignored the two presence and told Gnome to merge with his physique as he wanted to test something. A burst of power comes forth from every muscle in Baek Ain's body, leaving Huo Zhi dumbfounded.
"The Extermination Fire Body..." Huo Zhi blinked her eyes suspiciously.
She didn't want to see Yao Ling'er teacher explode, but to her surprise, Baek Ain was still healthy and moving nimbly.
She could sense a terrifying Heavenly Flame's presence from Baek Ain's body and finally realized it wasn't one of any Heavenly Flame.
A completely new Heavenly Flame!
"How is that even possible?!"
