283: The Fire Spirit is under control! Is Fire Child in love?

Chapter 283: Huo Ling Is Cornered! Huo Zhi's Love-Struck Brain?

“Auntie.”

Huo Zhi looked at Huo Ling, her beautiful, nimble eyes welling up with tears, wanting to speak up for Chu Xiao.

Anything that could move a Seven Star Dou Saint must be extremely precious.

For the future Chu Xiao, it would naturally be nothing.

But currently, he probably couldn't produce it, or it would be extremely difficult for him to do so.

She felt that Huo Ling shouldn't ask Chu Xiao for tangible benefits, but rather use this Opportunity to build a good relationship with Chu Xiao.

Opportunities like this, to make Chu Xiao owe a favor, were rare and would be beneficial for the future of the Yan Clan.

She was acting out of public interest, not selfish motives, absolutely!

“Xiao Zhi'er, are you siding with an outsider?” Huo Ling looked at her niece with a teasing gaze.

Just now, when Chu Xiao was speaking confidently to Gu Yuan and Yan Jin, the admiration and reverence in Huo Zhi's eyes were undisguised; anyone could see it.

She had no doubt that as long as Chu Xiao nodded, there could be another Mrs. Huo in his backyard.

“Auntie, don't talk nonsense.” Huo Zhi glanced at Chu Xiao nervously and shyly, then hurriedly explained, “I just think that everyone is in a cooperative relationship now and should help each other.”

“I sacrificed my precious cultivation time.” Huo Ling's eyes held a smile, wanting to tease her niece.

“Indeed, Fairy Huo Ling urgently needs to go into seclusion now, so helping with this matter can be forgotten.” Before Huo Zhi could continue speaking, Chu Xiao seemed to change his mind.

This made Huo Ling a little awkward; she was just joking.

But to make her lose face and retract her words, as a Dou Saint expert who had lived for thousands of years, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Just then, Chu Xiao continued, “It's better to let the Senior from the Gu Clan help.”

“Such a small matter as entering the Barren Ancient Domain to find the Bodhi Ancient Tree really doesn't require Fire Spirit to act now.”

“It's simply overkill.”

A flicker of fire appeared in Huo Ling's dark, beautiful eyes as she asked, “Bodhi Ancient Tree?”

“Are you talking about the Bodhi Ancient Tree, known as the Tree of Wisdom Reincarnation, which appears once every thousand years!?”

The Bodhi Ancient Tree is one of the oldest species on the Fighting Qi Continent, appearing once every thousand years, which triggers a scramble among powerful individuals. It grows in cycles of a thousand years, requiring a hundred cycles to mature, its strength infinitely close to a Dou Emperor, but without complete sentience.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree produces Bodhi Transformation Liquid, bodhi seeds, and Bodhi Hearts, which primarily benefit experts from the Dou Zun to Half-Saint level. Dou Saints do not gain much benefit from the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

And because the Bodhi Ancient Tree's sentience is incomplete, it instinctively resists Dou Saint experts approaching, and will attack Dou Saint experts.

Based on the above, whenever the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears, the major top forces always send Dou Zuns.

A thousand years ago, when Huo Ling was still a Dou Zun, she was fortunate enough to encounter the Bodhi Ancient Tree's appearance and participated in its exploration.

At that time, she obtained several bodhi seeds, which accelerated her progress through the Peak Dou Zun stage and laid a solid foundation for her subsequent Breakthrough to Dou Saint.

If Chu Xiao could really find the Bodhi Ancient Tree in advance, it would be a good thing for the Yan Clan's Dou Zun experts.

Furthermore, if she, Huo Ling, used one of her trump cards, she might even Breakthrough to Emperor Realm Soul!

“That's right, it's the Bodhi Ancient Tree.” Chu Xiao said with a calm expression, looking indifferent, “With Senior's cultivation, the Opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree wouldn't catch your eye.”

“So, there's no need for Senior to take me on the journey. I can just ask the Dou Saint Senior of the Gu Clan for help.”

As he spoke, Chu Xiao even smiled at Huo Zhi: “At that time, I will give you a few bodhi seeds, which can help you and the Red Lotus Karma Fire grow.”

Huo Zhi felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and smiled, “Thank you. If you need anything, just tell me, and I will try my best to find it for you.”

“Cough, cough.” Fairy Huo Ling lightly coughed, showing an appreciative expression: “Little friend Chu Xiao, I was just joking with you just now.”

“We are allies. You've brought so much important news to my clan, how could I be unwilling to help with a small favor?”

“Moreover, you are so generous to Huo Zhi, leave this small matter to me.”

Fairy Huo Ling took on the task with enthusiasm.

But Chu Xiao was very polite and refused with a smile: “Senior, there's no need to force yourself.”

“No forcing, I genuinely want to help.” Huo Ling immediately replied.

“Senior, you should still focus on your seclusion. Breaking through to Eight Star or Emperor Realm Soul is more important and will bring greater benefits to our Alliance.” Chu Xiao said, looking very sensible: “There's really no need to be polite.”

“I said I'm willing, do you understand?” Huo Ling clenched her fists, a hint of anger in her tone.

Why was this kid so wishy-washy? She felt like she wanted to beat him up.

“I just think it's unnecessary.” Chu Xiao showed an innocent expression: “For such a small matter, having you, a Seven Star Dou Saint, do it is too extravagant.”

“I was ignorant just now, Senior, please don't take it to heart, and don't feel pressured. It's the same if I ask the Gu Clan's Dou Saint Senior to help.”

The same?

The same my ass.

“Aside from Gu Yuan, no one in the Gu Clan is stronger than me, so how could it be the same?” Huo Ling coaxed, “Besides, the people of the Gu Clan won't get up early without profit. Let me do it, no need to thank me.”

“No, I'd rather give benefits than owe a favor.” Chu Xiao shook his head.

“It's not a favor, didn't you give benefits to Xiao Zhi'er?” Huo Ling immediately said, “I, as her aunt, am helping her.”

“Still no.” Chu Xiao refused no matter what.

His unyielding attitude made Huo Ling a little frantic, and she instinctively asked, “What exactly do you want?”

“If Senior insists on taking me, that's fine too.” Chu Xiao rubbed his fingers: “But I need this.”

Fairy Huo Ling: ?

Making me be your travel tool and personal bodyguard, and you still want benefits from me?

“You brat, you're asking for a beating!” Huo Ling suddenly attacked.

She wanted to teach this kid a lesson.

But something surprising happened.

Chu Xiao suddenly disappeared, evading her restrictive means.

And her Heaven Realm Perfection Soul could only detect a trace of spatial fluctuation.

“Senior, without benefits, I won't let you take me. Think about it carefully.”

Chu Xiao's voice appeared, making Huo Ling furious.

“You brat, come out! What kind of man hides?”

Where was the composure and experience of a thousand-year-old monster?

“Whether I'm a man or not, many people know, I don't need to prove it to Senior.” Chu Xiao replied.

Huo Ling laughed in anger, and also realized that her intention towards the Bodhi Ancient Tree had been seen through by Chu Xiao.

So, it turned from her helping him to her having to pay a price to ask Chu Xiao to take her along.

She should have known not to be so reserved at the beginning.

“Senior, please consider it carefully. I'll come to find you tomorrow.” Chu Xiao's aura completely disappeared.

Huo Ling understood that he had already left, and couldn't help but glare at the secretly smiling Huo Zhi: “You're still laughing? This kid is very shrewd.”

“If you fall for him, you'll definitely be completely eaten up by him.”

“Your Red Lotus Karma Fire has no effect on this kid. Be careful, he might sell you off later, and you'll still be counting money for him.”

“He wouldn't.” Huo Zhi's picturesque face flushed slightly, but she didn't deny her liking for Chu Xiao.

Although the Red Lotus Karma Fire had no effect, she had a diary copy.

Being with Chu Xiao was the most correct choice.

At this moment, she received a notes update notification.

She glanced at it distractedly and found that Chu Xiao had indeed written about what had just happened in his notes.

“Brother Chu Xiao met Father!”

In a private room somewhere in Soaring Heavens Pavilion, Xun'er, who was chatting with Xiao Yi Xian, showed a surprised expression.

Learning that Gu Yuan had changed his address to Chu Xiao as “Xiao'er,” and had completely approved of this future son-in-law, the smile on her face became even more undeniable.

“My husband is truly amazing. Even when facing a Nine Star Late Stage Dou Saint, an Eight Star Late Stage Dou Saint, and a Seven Star Late Stage Dou Saint, he can still speak confidently.” Xiao Yi Xian felt honored.

“After all, he is the future Heavenly Emperor.” Xun'er used Soul transmission to avoid Chu Xiao suddenly appearing and hearing them.

“However, my husband has clearly accelerated his pace of becoming stronger.” Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes narrowed: “We must also work harder.”

“I'll have people find more Heaven And Earth Treasure containing potent poisons.” Xun'er held Xiao Yi Xian's hand: “And Demonic Beasts in the shape of snakes, I'll have people find them and send them to Qing Lin.”

“With Brother Chu Xiao's Medicinal Pills and Thunder Gang Emperor Flame, your and Qing Lin's Physiques will not be limited to the Innate Poisonous Physique and Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.”

Xiao Yi Xian's and Qing Lin's Physiques could still evolve.

The Innate Poisonous Physique might transform into the Heavenly Poison Spiritual Physique.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils could evolve into five-flower, seven-flower, or even nine-flower.

They could quickly form combat power and help Chu Xiao in all aspects.

The women looked at the diary.

Just then, Chu Xiao's writing style shifted.

“Speaking of the Spirit Devouring Clan, they have intricate ties with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan.”

Extraterritorial Evil Clan!

The women's eyes all narrowed simultaneously.
