"You...you've already seized the primordial fire seed of the Xuanhuang True Flame?"

Seeing how easily Chu Yang seized the fire seed, Lin Xi was somewhat dazed.

"That's natural, since we've already left our mark."

"They listen to me here now," Chu Yang replied.

"The matter of Xuanhuang Valley has now come to an end, it's just a pity that we didn't get to see that black-robed man show up."

"Let's go, I'll take you back so we can heal our wounds first."

"The rest can be handled by the Li family."

With that, he led Lin Xi away from Xuanhuang Valley and arrived at Chu Yang's bedroom.

"Are we going to heal our wounds in your bedchamber?" Lin Xi asked somewhat awkwardly.

"It's not like we haven't been here before."

Chu Yang handed her a golden pill with three patterns, saying, "Take this pill first, and then I will use the Xuanhuang True Flame to help you eliminate the demonic energy in your body."

Lin Xi nodded slightly and swallowed the pill directly.

Seeing this, Chu Yang walked behind her and placed his palms on her back.

The next second, clusters of yellow flames rose from his body and then flowed into Lin Xi's body like a long, winding stream.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Lin Xi's complexion had mostly recovered.

"Are you feeling better?" Chu Yang resisted the urge to pull Lin Xi into his arms and asked softly.

"Thank you for today," Lin Xi said gratefully.

"Hmph, you were indeed a bit reckless today. If you hadn't been lucky, you might be dead."

Having comforted Lin Xi, it's time to give her a warning, otherwise she might do something foolish again.

"I came to Zidan Peak because I was worried about..."

Lin Xi paused at this point.

Chu Yang's heart softened, and he finally couldn't help but pull Lin Xi into his arms. "So you really came to Zidan Peak because you were worried about me?"

"I...I came to see you because of tomorrow's match."

"You promised to let me win the competition." Lin Xi struggled in the other person's arms for a moment, but when she found that she could not break free, she could only sigh softly and let the other person hold her like that.

"Is that all?"

Chu Yang smiled faintly, then lightly scratched Lin Xi's nose with his finger.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin crystal clear like a flawless piece of jade, without the slightest imperfection.

The brow bone is light and smooth, and the eyebrow shape is like a distant mountain with light ink wash.

Her eyes were cold and aloof, yet they held a captivating charm.

He was surrounded by the unique aloof and holy aura of a celestial being, detached from worldly affairs and untouched by any earthly concerns.

Chu Yang was stunned, holding the most beautiful person in his arms. He didn't even dare to look down at Lin Xi's body, and he loosened his grip on her, afraid of being provoked into losing control.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Yang's embrace had been a little tight, but he loosened it at this moment, thinking that he was disappointed in her description.

She hesitated for a moment.

"Although I came to see you because of tomorrow's game, isn't it also to see you?"

"It's okay, I'm glad you came to see me."

"As long as you're happy, as long as you're happy, cough cough..." Lin Xi coughed lightly.

"So what about tomorrow's match? You don't actually want to fight me, do you?"

She is no match for Chu Yang right now.

If she wants to win the championship and receive the system reward, she can only ask Chu Yang to go easy on her.

However, he probably won't object.

"What do you mean, how do you say it? If you want to win, then of course you'll throw the match."

"You go all out tomorrow, and I'll just cooperate." Chu Yang waved his hand, indicating that it was a piece of cake.

"......"

Lin Xi hesitated. "Tomorrow is the final of the martial arts tournament. Countless big shots will be gathered there. Is it really okay for us to throw the match?"

Not to mention the foreign forces from all over the world, the Nine Peaks Master will definitely be there, along with the senior elders within the sect.

There might even be several powerful emperors lurking in the shadows during this competition.

Those big shots will definitely be able to see through it.

That scene, could it be that they just decided to fix the match?

"What's wrong with us fighting? If he's so capable, let his juniors come up and see if they can withstand even one of my moves."

"Do they not want to go?" Chu Yang said calmly.

He never cared about anyone else, and he even let his fiancée meddle in his affairs.

If they anger him, not only would his descendants think twice, but even his ancestors would have to consider the consequences.

"Okay." Lin Xi's brows relaxed.

"Then be gentle tomorrow, I don't want to get hurt again."

"...That's natural, I know what I'm doing."

Chu Yang was somewhat speechless.

How could he bear to see you get hurt again?

Lin Xi is now like an ancestor to him... no, she is his purest and truest fiancée, and he simply cannot bear to part with her.

Of course, he couldn't tell Lin Xi these things...

"By the way, didn't you obtain the primordial fire seed of the Xuanhuang True Flame? When do you plan to refine it?"

"When you refine the Heavenly Fire Origin, your strength will definitely increase by leaps and bounds, right?"

"What's wrong, little vixen? Are you envious?" Chu Yang tapped Lin Xi's eyebrows.

"Don't worry, I will also help you find a kind of heavenly fire later. When you successfully refine it, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds. You don't have to worry about falling behind."

"It's a pity that I can't let you obtain the Heavenly Fire right now, otherwise we could cultivate together and refine the Heavenly Fire, which would be twice as effective."

Chu Yang was somewhat disappointed when he heard this.

Because of the karmic relationship between him and Lin Xi, as long as they cultivate together, their yin and yang will complement each other, and their speed will be several times, or even ten times, faster than usual.

Their strength will improve even faster by then.

"Would refining the Heavenly Fire together be even faster?" Lin Xi grasped the key point.

"That's right, but it also requires a compatibility of power, which happens to be what we are." Chu Yang nodded.

The next second, a colorful crystal appeared in Lin Xi's hand.

The top is dazzling and radiant, looking like the starry sky and Milky Way above the heavens, absolutely beautiful.

At the same time, a flame seemed to be slowly burning inside the crystal, spreading out with a terrifying scorching power.

Feeling the surging flame power within the crystal, which was even comparable to the Xuanhuang True Flame, Chu Yang's eyes revealed a look of shock.

"This is... Three Thousand Star Flames?!"

"You actually possess the Starfire, ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking? What's going on??"

This was the Three Thousand Star Flames; he was not mistaken.

But how did this Primal Heavenly Fire end up in Lin Xi's hands?

Why did she take out the Heavenly Fire Source without saying a word?

Lin Xi's eyes darted away. "So this is the Three Thousand Star Flame."

"I was lucky; I found it on the road when I returned to the Xuanling Sect."

"......."

Picked it up on the street?

Chu Yang looked at her with disbelief.

Who would be so kind as to find the Heavenly Fire Origin Seed on the road?

He found it? Even he hadn't had such an outrageous experience.

Who would believe you!

However, when Chu Yang thought of Lin Xi's current Pure Heart Lotus Platform and Sword Heart Clarity, he regained his composure.

He looked at Lin Xi with a rather complicated expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you so quiet now that I've taken out some kind of heavenly fire?"

"No, it's just that I don't quite understand it."

"What can't you figure out?"

"I've gone through so much trouble and paid a heavy price to obtain the Xuanhuang True Flame, but I never expected you to just produce a Heavenly Fire Seed out of nowhere. I don't quite understand it."

Seeing Chu Yang choke, Lin Xi immediately laughed.

She felt quite pleased that she could obtain a heavenly fire so easily, compared to the hardships Chu Yang had endured.

"What? Now you know I'm the chosen one?"

"So be polite to me from now on, or I'll definitely teach you a lesson when I get up." Lin Xi tried to put on a cold face.

Chu Yang nodded. "Yes, you are indeed the chosen one, but I am also a man destined to be the chosen one, and I will definitely not lose to you."

???

Lin Xi immediately tilted her head and looked at him.

Why does this sound a bit off?
