Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 12 Hun Qinghao's Domineering Possessiveness

Xiao Yan's expression, a mixture of shock and delight, successfully pleased Yao Chen.

See, this is how a normal person would react upon seeing an eighth-grade alchemist.

"Since you are an eighth-grade alchemist, it shouldn't be difficult for me to advance to the Dou Shi level within a year, right?" Xiao Yan, who had already adopted a more respectful title for Yao Chen, asked shamelessly.

Yao Chen thought for a moment and said seriously, "Theoretically it's not difficult, but the ring I'm using has already been given to the little girl by you, so it can't stay by your side for long, and its effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced. Either you find a way to keep her in the Xiao family, or you stay by her side."

"However, I mind if you stay by her side, so you can also get some cultivation resources."

"Bang!" As soon as Yao Chen finished speaking, the wall between the two courtyards collapsed with a loud crash.

The two were startled and turned to look. Through the hazy dust, they saw a girl with a frosty face slowly walking out, holding a soul lock.

The purple chains dragged on the ground, making a clanging sound, like a death knell.

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan: "!!!"

That's it!

"I thought you two were plotting something, but it turns out you're just trying to mooch off resources!" The chains contracted and transformed into swords, pointing at the two of them. Hun Qinghao's cold voice was filled with anger.

"Hehe, let's talk this out, let's talk this out..." Xiao Yan immediately backed down, raising his hand and taking a step back, while shifting the blame, pointing at Yao Chen and shouting, "Miss Qing, I didn't mean that, it was all his idea!"

Xiao Yan: I'm sorry, senior. As the saying goes, it's better to die for your fellow cultivator than for me. Anyway, the little witch won't do anything to an eighth-grade alchemist, but this little Dou Zhe is a different story!

Pushed out to take the blame by Xiao Yan, Yao Chen was so angry that he trembled all over. The kid was pretty good at shifting the blame.

Faced with the furious Hun Qinghao, Yao Chen could only force a smile and explain, "Little Qing'er, listen to me, I absolutely didn't mean that..."

"snort!"

Hun Qinghao kept a cold expression on her face, simply snorted, withdrew the Soul Lock, and turned to leave without saying anything.

Xiao Yan touched his arm, thinking to himself: The little witch's aura is terrifying!

However, this little witch who would start a fight at the drop of a hat during the day is now retreating without saying a word, which is a bit strange.

Yao Chen lowered his head slightly and sighed helplessly. It seemed that the little girl was really angry this time.

Back in her room, Hun Qinghao sat on the soft couch and poured herself a cup of cool tea to relieve her internal heat.

Even if you want to use her cultivation resources, you'll have to see if she's willing.

"Xiao Yan, the cultivation resources of the Soul Clan are not so easy to digest. It depends on whether you have the courage..." The girl murmured softly with a smile on her lips, her purple eyes flashing with a mysterious light.

……

"Nonsense! You think you can get me to improve your strength or even learn my alchemy without becoming my disciple? Dream on!"

"Alright, I, Xiao Yan, will now formally become your disciple... Master..."

The sounds from next door kept drifting into the room. After hearing Xiao Yan call her "teacher," Hun Qinghao's domineering temper flared up, and she crushed the teacup in her hand, the tea mixed with powder falling from her fingers.

Hun Qinghao felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment because of her strong possessiveness towards what she belonged to.

Although she was unwilling to become his disciple, Yao Chen had offered to take her as his disciple first, so how could he let someone else become his disciple?

Not counting her primordial era where she had never been in contact with the outside world, everything that Hun Qinghao possessed in both her past and present lives was unique. In this life, her father, the Heavenly Emperor Hun, also doted on her immensely, and what belonged to her had never been shared with anyone else.

However, in this small city of Wutan, they suffered setbacks time and time again.

Is it because she lacks the right temperament?

She is easily irritable, proud, and angry; no wonder her father always treats her like a child.

She knew her shortcomings, but the personality she had developed since childhood was not so easy to change, so she could only try to appear as mysterious and unpredictable as possible.

When Yao Chen returned from Xiao Yan's place, he saw Hun Qinghao with her head down, her delicate face completely buried in shadow, radiating a low and oppressive aura, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about, Xiao Qing'er?" Yao Chen floated over and asked with a soft sigh.

Hearing the voice, Hun Qinghao snapped out of her daze, looked up, and then awkwardly turned her head away, pouting, and said, "Didn't you tell Xiao Yan to become your disciple? Why did you come back?"

"My ring is still with you. Where else can I go if I don't come back?" Yao Chen said with a gentle smile. After saying that, he understood that the little girl seemed to be jealous. Just like a child who enjoys the love of her parents exclusively, when suddenly a younger brother or sister comes along, half of the love that belonged to her is taken away, so she naturally feels uncomfortable.

After thinking it through, Yao Chen shrugged and explained gently, "Since you are unwilling to become an apprentice or a pharmacist, I naturally have to find a new disciple to carry on your legacy."

"I can't be bothered to listen to your reasoning!" Hun Qinghao said arrogantly. She threw away all her previous entanglements and reverted to her true nature.

Pride and domineering are her true nature; it's her inherent character, so why should she change it? She will never compromise herself to become the perfect woman in the eyes of the world.

Having failed to explain, Yao Chen had no choice but to resort to his trump card: "Didn't you say I was your personal alchemist? I can refine pills for you right now."

Hun Qinghao was indeed attracted. She tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then took off her purple jade ring and threw it to him, "You can use the medicinal herbs inside."

Yao Chen caught the ring and invaded it with his soul power. Good heavens, these medicinal herbs alone were more abundant than his collection in his previous life. The Soul Clan was indeed very wealthy!

Then, Yao Chen lifted Hun Qinghao's left hand from a distance, took out his Black Demon Cauldron from the black ring, and began to seriously refine medicine.

Since Hun Qing hadn't specified what kind of pills he wanted to refine, Yao Chen had to create his own formula.

As time went by, Hun Qinghao couldn't help but cast a glance at Yao Chen, and then sat down cross-legged opposite him.

Looking at the white bone spirit cold fire, she couldn't help but reach out and poke it.

With this single poke, Hun Qinghao was not burned by the strange fire. Instead, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire sensed the aura of the world-destroying black flame within her body and immediately trembled with fear.

Yao Chen's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "Little Qing'er, stop causing trouble!"

"Who's causing trouble? I just wanted to touch it, why are you such a coward with this strange fire!" Hun Qinghao said, crossing her arms indignantly.

Yao Chen shook her head and remained silent. With her strange and terrifying mysterious black flames, it would be strange if the Bone Spirit Cold Fire wasn't afraid.

Thinking of Hun Qing's extraordinary fire, Yao Chen asked again, unwilling to give up, "You have such a powerful extraordinary fire, are you really not going to become an alchemist?"

"No!" Hun Qing refused without even thinking, but she kindly explained, "My World-Destroying Black Flame is extremely destructive and bloodthirsty. Even if I control it, the medicinal herbs cannot withstand its refining."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen was stunned. So that strange black flame was called the World-Destroying Black Flame.

The name "World Destruction" is quite fitting, matching its terrifying, world-destroying aura.
