Behind Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin also entered the courtyard, and when she saw Xiao Ming, her face showed an expression similar to Xiao Yi Xian's, full of love and longing.
Just as she wanted to approach, she stopped and watched her sister Xian'er in her Young Master's arms, and a bit of envy could not help but peek into her gaze.
However, her envy was not directed specifically towards Xiao Yi Xian'er, but towards the fact that she could not be in Xiao Ming's arms the same way she was, after all, she had missed him terribly too.
After kissing Xiao Yi Xian's soft cherry-colored lips, as he caressed her purple hair, Xiao Ming noticed something different about her.
"Xian'er, have you broken through to become a Dou Ancestor?" he asked, surprised.
"Mm, two-star Dou Ancestor." Xiao Yi Xian nuzzled her face against his chest before looking up at him and confirming with a cute expression.
"My Xian'er is truly amazing!" Holding Xiao Yi Xian close to his chest, Xiao Ming couldn't help but marvel, he had to work hard to catch and devour the Fallen Heart Flame before he could successfully break through, while Xiao Yi Xian had broken through to a more advanced level than him based on ordinary cultivation alone, so one could imagine how monstrous her special physique was, and it was no wonder that the larger forces especially liked to find talents with special physiques.
Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but chuckle coquettishly as she heard Xiao Ming's words of admiration. She knew that her special physique was a major factor in her ability to break through to a higher level than him. "Hmph, it's not like you don't know my physique". She said playfully, "As long as the supply of poisonous herbs is sufficient, there won't be any bottleneck for me. Besides, in the past year I've also encountered many opportunities that helped me improve even more."
"You girls weren't here these days, have you come back from outside?". Xiao Ming smiled and did not dwell any longer on the question of Xiao Yi Xian's strength, instead, he focused on other points.
"That's right, Qing Lin has broken through five-star Dou Spirit, so I took her to have some combat experience against other people, as you've always emphasized the importance of real combat experience." As she said this, Xiao Yi Xian released one of her arms from Xiao Ming and gestured to her sister to come closer.
Seeing this, Qing Lin walked over obediently while glancing nervously towards Xiao Ming.
As she approached, Xiao Ming was surprised by how much she had grown, her body had developed a lot in the past year and she now stood only slightly shorter than Xiao Yi Xian, and her body proportions were more mature than others her age.
"Qing Lin has also worked hard", Seeing Qing Lin's nervousness, Xiao Ming smiled warmly and gently stroked her green hair as he praised her. He could see that she had put a lot of effort into her cultivation and was proud of her progress.
She lowered her head and looked at him with a mix of shyness and happiness in her eyes, "Thank you, Young Master, Qing Lin promises to keep cultivating hard!" She said softly, her voice filled with determination.
After saying this, Qing Lin retreated back to her previous position, trying to contain her curiosity about the elder behind Xiao Ming. She didn't want to interrupt the meeting between her sister Xian'er and her Young Master and therefore decided to keep her inquiries to herself.
After snuggling for a while longer and saying sweet words to each other, Xiao Yi Xian finally noticed Yao Tian Huo standing behind Xiao Ming. She immediately turned to look at Xiao Ming and asked with a puzzled face, "Who is this Senior?"
"He is a Senior I met by chance in Magma World, he is called Venerable Tian Huo." Xiao Ming replied as he took Xiao Yi Xian's hand and also introduced her to him.
'Venerable?' Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was a little surprised, only a Dou Venerate could be titled as "Venerable" in the Dou Qi continent.
For Xiao Ming to introduce him like this meant that the Elder in front of her was a Dou Venerate.
"Hahaha, little girl, there's no need to be surprised, this old man is nothing but a soul body now. I may have to disturb your intimacy with Xiao Ming in the future, so I want to apologize in advance."
Because of Xiao Ming, Yao Tian Huo showed a kind face and even joked a little.
Xiao Yi Xian's face blushed as she softly muttered, "Senior Yao, since Xiao Ming brought you back, there is no such thing as disturbing. We are happy to have you here". She understood that Yao Tian Huo was just joking, and she didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable. She had faith in Xiao Ming's judgment and realized that if he had brought Yao Tian Huo back, there must have been a valid reason for it.
Seeing that the two had greeted each other, Xiao Ming gestured for Qing Lin to approach again.
"Senior Yao, this is Qing Lin, she is the possessor of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils". Xiao Ming introduced.
"Qing Lin greets Venerable Tian Huo". Qing Lin greeted Yao Tian Huo obediently, bowing her head slightly as a sign of respect.
"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils? This little girl has a bit of luck". Yao Tian Huo commented, with a hint of surprise in his voice. He had traveled the Continent for an unknown number of years and had undoubtedly heard of this type of physique, it's a rare and powerful special physique.
It just didn't occur to him that even if Xiao Ming was a monstrous talent, he would actually have this kind of talent by his side.
Speaking of which, since this little girl had a special physique, didn't it mean that the Dou Ancestor girl next to Xiao Ming would be the same?
Thinking about this, Yao Tianhuo asked, "This little girl, Xiao Yi Xian, also has some kind of special physique, doesn't she? Otherwise, I wouldn't believe that there is anyone else who can break through to Dou Ancestor at such a young age like you, Xiao Ming."
"Senior Yao is right, Xian'er possesses the Woeful Poison Body."
"Woeful Poison Body?" Venerable Tian Huo's voice was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that I would actually be able to see this physique a second time in my life, it's really good luck..."
"However, after breaking through to Dou Ancestor, The Woeful Poison Body would always be on the verge of erupting, but this friend of yours doesn't seem to be like that, ah, and her hair didn't turn into a white color which is after the Woeful Poison Body erupts. It's really strange."
"Does Senior Yao seem to know a lot about the Woeful Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with a gut feeling as she smiled.
"Oh, the Woeful Poison Body, well, it's a very famous name, who wouldn't know about it in the previous generation...? Yao Tian Huo smiled softly, "Of course, it's not possible for ordinary people to know as much as me. Back in the day, I also had a friend who possessed the Woeful Poison Body, back then, I created a sealing method for him, this seal could only be released once and only lasted for three years at most, after three years, I still did not find a way to control the Woeful Poison Body, so..." At the end of the sentence, Yao Tian Huo couldn't help but shake his head, looking a little sad.
After calming his emotions, Yao Tian Huo added, "If you need it, I can pass on that sealing method to you."
"That won't be necessary, Xian'er's Woeful Poison Body has already been controlled." Xiao Ming shook his head and said.
"Oh, how did you manage to do that?" Yao Tian Huo was stunned at his words, he knew how difficult it was to resolve the Woeful Poison Body.
"By devouring the Nether Poison Flame, this Heavenly Flame is able to control the toxins."
"I didn't expect the Nether Poison Flame to have that kind of effect, I feel like my life playing with flames was a waste, alas, if only I could have discovered this method back then, then he wouldn't have died..."
"Senior Yao, don't blame yourself, after all, you did your best back then, didn't you?" Xiao Ming comforted him.
"What you have said is also true." Yao Tian Huo shook his head and then said, "Since your little partner possesses the Woeful Poison Body, I will help my friend find him an heiress. I have four Di Dou Techniques that he left in my storage ring, so I will give them to you."
After saying this, a flash of white light shone on Yao Tian Huo's hand as some purple-colored scrolls appeared.
Then he looked at Qing Lin and took out a green ring, and while running his fingers through it, he said.
"This ring is something I obtained in a Dou Saint ruin, it has the effect of accelerating cultivation in meditation, this is no longer useful for me, little miss Qing Lin, this is for you."
The treasures given by Venerable Tian Huo were undoubtedly very valuable and useful, and with Xiao Ming's approval, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin gratefully accepted the treasures from Venerable Tian Huo after thanking him.
"Very well, keep talking amongst yourselves, this old man will no longer disturb your meeting," Yao Tianhuo said with a faint smile before entering his white ring and returning to Xiao Ming's room.
...
After Yao Tian Huo's departure, Xiao Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin continued to spend quality time together, they laughed, talking about what they had been doing this year and their plans for the future.
As they talked, Xiao Ming couldn't help but show his affection for Xiao Yi Xian, holding her hand, playing with her hair, and giving her occasional kisses on the forehead, all small gestures that were full of love and care. She leaned into him, feeling the warmth of his touch.
Qing Lin would look at him affectionately from time to time, and she would occasionally gather the courage to lean closer to him, seeking comfort in his embrace and giving him kisses on the cheek.
The atmosphere remained comfortable and harmonious throughout the conversation, with the three of them feeling at ease and enjoying each other's company.
...
After that, another day passed and after visiting his Master, Elder Huo, and as soon as he arrived at his courtyard, he felt that the courtyard began to shake violently.
This sudden tremor startled Xiao Ming, and immediately his gaze turned to Zi Yan's room, where a violet light was shining brightly.
'Is she already going to break through?' At this sudden scene, Xiao Ming sketched a smile.
Sensing the commotion, Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, as well as Yao Tian Huo, appeared in the small courtyard room.
"Xiao Ming, is sister Zi Yan coming out already? "Looking at the brightness coming out of Zi Yan's room, Xiao Yi Xian was a little surprised.
Xiao Ming nodded slightly before entering Zi Yan's room, closely followed by Xiao Yi Xian.
While Yao Tian Huo and Qing Lin looked at each other and decided not to enter and wait outside instead.
Behind Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin also entered the courtyard, and when she saw Xiao Ming, her face showed an expression similar to Xiao Yi Xian's, full of love and longing.
Just as she wanted to approach, she stopped and watched her sister Xian'er in her Young Master's arms, and a bit of envy could not help but peek into her gaze.
