Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

Xie Haoran hesitated.

He never expected that his sister, who had always disregarded men, would become love-struck after meeting Lin Yu.

"Alright, I promise you, as long as the plan succeeds and we steal the magician's talent, I'll spare his life."

Xie Haoran thought for a moment and decided to appease his sister first.

As for the magician's life, once his plan succeeds, it's up to him to decide.

He would never allow any danger to exist.

"Thank you, brother." Xie Yu'er was quite happy, completely unaware of what her brother was planning.

With her worries gone, a smile bloomed on her face as she said to Lin Yu, "Brother Yu, when I encountered that tiger before, it was in this forest ahead."

"Pah! Shameless! How dare you call me Brother Yu?" The little girl was furious.

"I'll call you, Brother Yu-Brother Yu-Brother Yu-Brother Yu-Brother Yu-Brother Yu-" Xie Yu'er refused to be outdone and deliberately teased the little girl.

"You vixen!"

"Hey, so what if I'm a sly fox?"

"Do you know that only beautiful women with perfect, sexy figures are qualified to be called 'sluts'? ​​You're just a little girl who's less than 6' meters tall, you don't even qualify to be a slut."

Xie Yu'er's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she teased the little girl, making the latter jump up and down in exasperation.

"Big brother, this woman is really nice." Xiong Ba was enjoying the sight of her, and his dark circles were almost heart-shaped.

"Stop messing around. If we can't find the mutated tiger, I'll snap your neck." Lin Yu's voice was icy cold.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, without emotional ties, she is nothing in his eyes.

"Yes, Brother Yu, twist off her head and kick it like a ball," the little girl chimed in triumphantly.

"Brother Yu, how could you be so cruel? How could you..."

Xie Yu'er pretended to be aggrieved and was about to continue speaking, but when she noticed Lin Yu's cold and sharp gaze, she immediately stopped talking.

She stopped talking and walked silently ahead, a sense of grievance welling up inside her.

No man had ever treated her like this before, not since she was a child.

However, the more this was the case, the more resentful she became.

"Hmph, what's so great about you? Once you become an ordinary person, I'll take you into my harem and pamper you every day, hmph."

Entering the mountains and forests, the group, led by Xie Yu'er, searched everywhere for the mutated tiger.

A few hours later, the sun set.

Lin Yu's expression was rather unpleasant.

He looked at Xie Yu'er with a dark expression: "Are you lying to me? Believe me or not, I'll kill you."

"Then kill me!"

With tears in her eyes, Xie Yu'er walked up to Lin Yu, grabbed Lin Yu's hand and choked her neck, staring directly at Lin Yu.

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, tightened his grip, and clenched his fist again.

This time, Xie Yu'er didn't speak again. Even though she was being choked and her face was flushed red, she stubbornly refused to beg for mercy.

She just stared straight at Lin Yu.

"Brother Yu, maybe we should stop now." The little girl was a little reluctant, afraid that if things continued like this, the girl would be strangled to death.

Actually, this woman may be annoying, but so far, she hasn't done anything to harm anyone.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then slightly loosened his grip; he was not one to kill indiscriminately.

"Brother Yu, it's getting dark. How about we go look there again tomorrow?" Sun Ruoyi interrupted the awkward atmosphere.

-

In the evening, the group hunted down several mutated beasts and then started barbecuing.

"Hey, why are you speaking up for me today?" Xie Yu'er nudged the little girl with her elbow as she ate.

"cut--"

"I'm not speaking up for you, I'm just worried that no one will take us to find the mutated tiger tomorrow," the little girl mumbled as she ate her meat.

She wants to grow taller and bigger quickly, so she will never lose to other women again.

"Speak, who exactly are you? Which faction do you belong to?" Lin Yu suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed on Xie Yu'er.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Sound transmission bracelet, magic detection bracelet, these are items only available in the temple, and it is currently impossible for them to be circulated outside. Even within the temple, very few people know about them."

"You said that very few people know about the temple, so how did you find out?" Xie Yu'er retorted.

"I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell me, you can leave." Lin Yu had lost his patience.

"Hmph, fine, I'll say it then."

"I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family, one of the ten pillar forces of the temple," Xie Yu'er said smugly.

He didn't notice that when Lin Yu heard these words, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

The Xie family!

He never expected that the Xie family would actually come knocking on his door in this lifetime.

It seems that everything is preordained by heaven and arranged by fate.

He came to the Forbidden City to destroy the Xie family. And the Xie family, it seems, was also plotting something because of him.

"Hehe, that's fine too. Now that you're out of the Forbidden City, isn't it more convenient for me?"

"I want to see what the Xie family is planning this time," Lin Yu thought to himself.

A moment later, a smile appeared on his face.

Originally, he was in the open, while the Xie family was in the shadows.

Now that this stupid woman has exposed her family background and made him aware of her existence, he can take the initiative even more.

"A voice transmission bracelet..."

Lin Yu thought of this thing again.

In that case, all of his movements should have been exposed.

The Xie family knew he was looking for the mutated tiger, and they had Xie Yu'er deliberately leading him in circles, so—

Now it's not hard to guess the Xie family's whereabouts; they're probably setting up an ambush around the mutated tiger, just waiting for us to fall into their trap.

"Yes, I've been so dazzling in this life, you must have been planning this all along."

Lin Yu licked his lips.

For the first time, I felt a bloodthirsty urge.

He looked up at Xie Yu'er, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Yu'er suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She turned her head and saw Lin Yu's chilling gaze, which startled her.

"It's nothing, go to sleep early, we still need to find the mutated tiger tomorrow."

Lin Yu quickly suppressed his killing intent, jumped onto a nearby tree, and pretended to take a nap.

"..."

Xie Yu'er glanced at Lin Yu.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, as if something unusual was about to happen.

She would never have imagined that it was because she introduced herself that she was the reason for this.

No one could have imagined, nor dared to imagine, that the Xie family would target the magician.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was...

Lin Yu is a time traveler who has traveled back in time. His purpose in heading north is to destroy the Xie family.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Xiong Ba muttered something, then slowly climbed up the big tree and leaned against the trunk to sleep.

Everyone sensed that the atmosphere was strange, but they couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. They stopped chatting and prepared to rest.
