Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

The moment Lin Xuan pressed his hand against the center of the little Vermilion Bird's forehead, the little bird froze completely.

The wood-elemental law surging in through her brow was so vibrant it sent chills down her spine. The toxic earth fire that had been rampaging through her body, burning her meridians to a crisp, was forcefully suppressed by this life force. Even more outrageous, the fire-elemental pressure emanating from this white-robed man was countless times purer than her own Southern Bright Fire!

"Who...who are you?" Little Vermilion Bird sent out a divine thought in a daze, completely forgetting the fierceness of her self-destruction just now.

"The person who saved your life." Lin Xuan withdrew his hand without further explanation.

He turned around, facing the giant pool of poisonous fire that was still gushing wildly below, and opened his arms wide.

"I was just worried that there wasn't enough fire in the house for the children to squander, and your poisonous fire has come at just the right time!" Lin Xuan shouted coldly, and the [Chaotic Red Lotus Karmic Fire] in his body instantly erupted.

A dazzlingly beautiful phantom of a purple-red lotus bloomed beneath Lin Xuan's feet. As soon as the lotus appeared, the temperature of the entire Nanming Volcano not only didn't rise, but instead plummeted. That was the absolute suppression of a low-level flame by a high-level one.

Lin Xuan opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

The raging underground poison fire below instantly went out of control, transforming into a massive vortex of flames a hundred feet in diameter, rushing straight into Lin Xuan's mouth.

Those poisonous flames and malevolent energies that even Quasi-Saints dared not withstand head-on were swallowed by Lin Xuan like hot soup. As soon as the poisonous flames entered his body, the Chaotic Red Lotus Karmic Fire immediately began to work, burning away the impurities and malevolent energies, leaving only pure fire-elemental laws, which were directly replenished into Lin Xuan's dantian.

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

The volcano, which had been raging and threatening to engulf the south, has dried up completely. The magma has stopped churning, and even the smell of sulfur in the air has diminished considerably.

Lin Xuan burped and exhaled a wisp of white smoke. The system notification sounded in his mind again:

"Ding! The host has absorbed a massive amount of toxic fire from the earth's core veins, increasing the purity of the fire elemental law by ten percent!"

Little Vermilion Bird floated in mid-air, her eyes wide open. She had guarded the Nanming Volcano for so long, and had never seen anyone eat poisonous fire directly. What kind of monster was this?!

However, with the crisis averted, the Nirvana Source within Little Vermilion Bird began to operate again. With the life force of the wood element law that Lin Xuan had just infused into her, her transformation this time was a natural progression.

A blinding red light flashed.

The original firebird disappeared. In its place, a stunningly beautiful girl appeared in mid-air.

The girl wore a crimson knee-length armor that accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her two long, slender, white legs were prominently displayed, and her long red hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her features were exquisitely refined, with a flame-like pattern at the corner of her eye, revealing a touch of naive wildness and an inherent arrogance.

Her steps were a little weak when she landed, and her eyes were filled with shock and complex emotions as she looked at Lin Xuan.

Meanwhile, Venus, who was hiding behind a stone pillar ten miles away, had already been terrified when Lin Xuan swallowed the fire.

"Lin Xuan, the living Yama of the Pangu Palace! What's he doing here?!" Taibai Jinxing's legs trembled like leaves, and he didn't even dare to pick up the dust that had fallen to the ground. He had only one thought in his mind: run! Keep the matter of the Nanming Volcano a secret!

Venus had just turned around, forming a hand seal for his escape technique, preparing to flee.

"Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

A roguish voice suddenly exploded in his ear.

Before Venus could even scream, he felt a tightness around the back of his neck. The surrounding space instantly folded up, and he was lifted up like a chick by an irresistible force.

The next second, a muffled "bang" resounded. Venus was slammed solidly at Lin Xuan's feet.

Ignoring the pain, Venus scrambled to his feet and knelt before Lin Xuan, his head banging against the ground repeatedly. "Grandpa Lin Xuan, spare me! This humble immortal was just passing by! Purely just passing by!"

Lin Xuan stepped forward, looked down at Venus, and sneered.

"Just passing by? You think the clouds from the Heavenly Court have drifted all the way to Nanming Volcano? Did that old bastard Haotian send you here to pick up the scraps?"

Lin Xuan was too lazy to waste words with him and waved his right hand.

"Slap! Slap!"

Two extremely crisp and loud slaps landed squarely on Venus's face.

Venus spun around three times on the spot, then spat out a mouthful of blood. A dozen or so white teeth were mixed in with the blood. His cheeks instantly swelled up like ripe red apples, and he could no longer speak clearly.

"Waaah...Master Lin Xuan..."

"Go back and give Haotian a message." Lin Xuan crossed his arms, his tone icy cold, "If you dare to extend your reach southwards again and try to take over my Pangu Palace, I'll personally go to the Heavenly Court tomorrow and uproot the pillars of the Lingxiao Palace that my nephew didn't finish dismantling last time, and use them as firewood!"

Venus, clutching his face swollen like a pig's head, dared not utter a single word of dissent. He nodded repeatedly, crushed a life-saving talisman, and transformed into a golden light, tumbling and crawling away.

After dealing with the flies, Lin Xuan turned around and looked at the little Vermilion Bird that had just transformed.

The little Vermilion Bird had just exhausted her life force and undergone a forced rebirth, leaving her extremely weak. She tried to stand up straight, but her legs gave way and she collapsed forward.

Lin Xuan reacted quickly, taking half a step forward and reaching out to scoop the fiery red figure into his arms.

Little Zhuque felt as if she had crashed into a broad and sturdy chest. An extremely pleasant woody scent mixed with the man's unique domineering aura instantly enveloped her.

"You...you let me go!" Little Vermilion Bird's cheeks flushed red. From childhood to adulthood, she had never touched anything other than fire, let alone been in such close contact with a man. Her proud temper flared up, and she raised her fist to push Lin Xuan away.

Unfortunately, she was sore and weak all over, and the little strength she had to hit Lin Xuan's chest was no different from a coquettish back pounding.

"Let you go? So you can fall headfirst into that pile of ash?" Lin Xuan tightened his grip on her supple waist, looking down at the blushing, proud girl in his arms, a wicked smile spreading across his lips. "Come on, let's find somewhere else to heal."

After saying that, Lin Xuan tore through the void and stepped inside, carrying the little Vermilion Bird.
