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

Chapter 13 The World-Destroying Black Lotus and the World-Destroying Black Flame

Speaking of the world-destroying black flames, Yao Chen thought of the mysterious black lotus he had seen deep within Hun Qinghao's soul, which made him ask absentmindedly, "Little Qing'er, what... what is that black lotus?"

Hun Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Yao Chen in shock, "You saw it?"

The true body sealed deep within her soul was known only to her father, the Soul Emperor. Unexpectedly, she only used the Soul Guide once to allow a second person to discover this secret.

Hun Qinghao remained silent for a long time, until Yao Chen thought she would not answer anymore, when she suddenly spoke.

"That is my true form, the Black Lotus of Annihilation. The Black Lotus has twelve petals, unparalleled in its protective power, and also possesses the might to destroy the world!"

Her voice was somewhat ethereal, a black lotus suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her stunned expression seemed to be lost in some kind of memory. After a moment, she turned her gaze to regret and said, "It's just a pity... it's sealed. With my current strength, I can only reach the second rank!"

Although she now possesses her own physical body, her initial transformation was only half successful. After a reincarnation, her physical body and original form were completely separated.

Hun Qinghao never intended to hide her true form as a black lotus, but very few people had seen her true form over the past thirteen years, so it remained a secret.

"Your true form? You're not human!" Yao Chen's pupils constricted sharply, his heart filled with utter shock.

The little girl... she's not human!

Hun Qinghao pouted and spread her hands, saying, "What's the big deal? When did I ever say I was human? Wasn't the Pill Tower Ancestor also a ninth-grade Xuan Dan who took human form?"

"These days, even elixirs can take human form, so there's no reason why a lotus can't!"

Although she was a black lotus flower, her status was slightly higher, making her transformation somewhat difficult, but she had already succeeded halfway.

If it weren't for that damned seal, it would be even better.

But it doesn't matter. One day, she will break through all the seals completely, and that will be the day she fully transforms into human form.

"Hehehe..." Thinking this, Hun Qing couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

Having spent a long time with the Soul Clan, she even picked up their unique laughter.

Yao Chen: "..."

The laughter, coming late at night, sounded particularly eerie, giving him goosebumps.

She looks like a cute little girl, how did she learn to laugh like that?

Yao Chen sighed softly and shook his head, suppressing these shocking events in his heart, and then focused on refining medicine.

Hun Qinghao sat to the side, holding her face in her hands, watching with boredom.

Once she calmed down, the exhaustion from her previous spiritual energy left her feeling incredibly tired, and she unknowingly fell asleep lying down.

Seeing Hun Qinghao fall asleep immediately, and noticing her somewhat pale face, Yao Chen's eyes flashed with tenderness.

……

After midnight, given Yao Chen's speed in refining medicine, several jade bottles had already been placed beside him.

After the last pill was taken out of the cauldron, Yao Chen put the pill into a jade bottle, put it back into the Black Demon Cauldron, then walked to Hun Qinghao's side, paused for a moment, and then bent down to pick her up and put her on the bed.

"Sigh, the little girl doesn't seem bad at all, how did she end up being born into the Soul Clan!" Yao Chen put the purple jade ring on Hun Qinghao's finger and sighed with a sense of helplessness and regret.

He then placed the several bottles of pills he had refined beside her pillow, and his figure transformed into a wisp of white smoke, disappearing into the black ring on Hun Qinghao's hand.

The next morning.

Filled with anticipation to become an alchemist, Xiao Yan took Xiao Xun'er with him to the market to buy medicinal herbs.

Upon returning, Xiao Yan parted ways with Xiao Xun'er and went straight to Hun Qinghao's courtyard.

Looking at the quiet courtyard, Xiao Yan scratched his head, puzzled. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Yao Chen came out through the door.

"Shh, little one, don't make a sound. The little girl used up a lot of her soul power yesterday and is resting. Don't wake her!"

"Oh, oh." Xiao Yan nodded frantically, thankful that he hadn't shouted out loud.

Who knows if the little witch has a bad temper when she wakes up? It's not worth getting a beating for such a small thing.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan took Yao Chen to a secluded grove behind the Xiao family's mountain, where they began what was euphemistically called "external stimulation" for physical training.

Meanwhile, after sleeping all night, Hun Qinghao's soul power was fully restored.

She looked at her hands; the jade ring was back in her hands.

Then she saw several jade bottles by her pillow, and Hunqing opened them to take a look.

"They're all fourth-grade pills, and they look pretty good. I just wonder how they taste..." Hun Qinghao murmured, poured out a pill and popped it into her mouth. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she smiled contentedly. "Mmm, they taste really good!"

It tastes much better than the pills made by that guy Hun Xuzi. He truly lives up to his reputation as the renowned Medicine Venerable of Zhongzhou.

She put the jade bottles containing the pills into her purple jade ring. Then, she looked at the black ring on her left hand and didn't see Yao Chen's figure inside. So, she used her soul power to sense and found that he was with Xiao Yan in the back mountain of the Xiao family.

Soul Lord: (д) Damn it!

The young lady was unhappy and decided to cause trouble.

When Hun Qinghao arrived at the back mountain, he saw Xiao Yan, shirtless, being beaten under the waterfall, occasionally letting out screams.

Hun Qing was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

Seeing Xiao Yan in such a miserable state filled Hun Qinghao with immense joy.

The girl's silvery laughter immediately attracted the attention of Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan quickly forgot about Hun Qing, because Yao Chen still hadn't stopped hitting Xiao Yan.

"Little Qing'er, why did you come here? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Compared to Xiao Yan, who was being beaten, Yao Chen's attitude towards Hun Qing was exceptionally gentle.

This made Xiao Yan think to himself that the old man was unreliable and was treating people differently.

For the sake of those few bottles of decent-tasting pills, Hun Qinghao temporarily put aside the issue of address and said with a smile, "If I hadn't come, wouldn't I have missed a good show? How would I have known that you were having a deep master-disciple relationship with someone else behind my back?"

"If you don't want to call me teacher, then I'll just have to find you a senior brother to inherit my mantle." Yao Chen said with a smile, his tone clearly meant to provoke her.

Before Hun Qing could react, Xiao Yan's lips twitched violently upon hearing these words, and he cursed inwardly.

So he was just a second choice? The old man only found him as a second option after being rejected by the little witch.

Hun Qinghao sneered, swinging her soul lock and mocking, "Old man, you love to daydream. I haven't even acknowledged you as my master, so where did this senior brother come from!"

Then she jumped onto a tree branch, glancing down at the two below, and emphasized again: "You are merely my personal alchemist, Yao Chen. Please address me as Your Highness, Young Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen felt angry, but he couldn't vent his anger on Hun Qing, so Xiao Yan suffered the consequences and was slapped hard.

"Ah!" Xiao Yan let out a pig-like scream, cursing under his breath.

You take your anger out on him because you think he's weak and has low cultivation level!

Just wait, when Xiao Yan rises to power one day, they'll all tremble...
