Different Flames and Wind Blades aid in the battle against Soul Beasts; Xun'er and Yun Yun's love is bound to the rebel master.

The Immortal Herb Valley in the Star Dou Secret Realm was shrouded in mist. On a stone platform in the center of the valley floor, a ten-thousand-year purple flame grass emitted dense fire-attribute spirit power. Its leaves were reddish-purple and burned with faint flames; it was the key to Xiao Xun Er's Heavenly Flame evolution and could also significantly boost the power of Yun Yun's Wind Blade.

"This is it!" A flash of surprise and joy crossed Xiao Xun Er's eyes as the Heavenly Flame danced in her palm. "My Fallen Heart Flame needs the fire-attribute origin of the purple flame grass to break through its bottleneck."

Yun Yun gripped her Wind Sword, her cool gaze sweeping the surroundings. "There's the aura of a Spirit Beast nearby. It's very strong, likely the ten-thousand-year Hell Civet King guarding the purple flame grass."

As soon as she finished speaking, the ground shook violently. A massive Hell Civet King leaped out from the mist. Its black fur shimmered with an eerie light, and a purple spirit ring circled its body. Letting out a piercing roar, it pounced toward the group.

"Watch out!" Su Chen's black-gold God-Defying Power instantly expanded into a barrier, protecting the Heroines behind him. "Xun'er, use your Heavenly Flame to pin it down; Yun Yun, use your Wind Blade for the main attack; everyone else, assist with crowd control!"

"Okay!" Xiao Xun Er responded. Her Fallen Heart Flame surged, the reddish-gold fire transforming into a fire snake that coiled toward the Hell Civet King. But the Civet King was extremely fast, nimbly dodging the fire snake and lunging at Xiao Xun Er with its sharp claws.

"Wind Blade: Sky Rend!" Yun Yun acted in time, weaving green Wind Blades into a net that forced the Civet King back. She glanced at Xiao Xun Er, her tone slightly tsundere, "Be careful, don't hold us back."

Xiao Xun Er's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't argue. Instead, she controlled her Heavenly Flame to launch another attack. "I will coordinate with you."

Su Chen smiled at their interaction and turned to the others. "Rongrong, buff Xun'er and Yun Yun; Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, restrain the Civet King's speed; Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, use Poison Mist for crowd control; Kushina, Hanabi, use Lightning Release for support; Zi Yan, prepare for a sneak attack!"

"Understood!" The Heroines each took their positions. Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda glowed brightly as pink buffing rays fell precisely on Xiao Xun Er and Yun Yun. Xiao Wu's Eight Stage Drop and Zhu Zhuqing's Shadow Soul Power entangled the Civet King's limbs. Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin's Poison Mist spread, sluggishly slowing the Civet King's movements. Kushina and Hanabi's Lightning Release intertwined to form an electric net, while Zi Yan hid in the shadows, waiting for her moment.

Feeling the boosted spirit power, Xiao Xun Er's Heavenly Flame instantly flared up. The reddish-gold fire resonated with the aura of the purple flame grass, transforming into a massive pillar of fire that blasted toward the Civet King. Yun Yun's eyes narrowed as she swung her Wind Sword, merging green Wind Blades into the fire pillar to form the "Wind-Fire Dual-Element Slash," its power doubling.

"Boom!" The Wind-Fire Dual-Element Slash struck the Civet King, and the violent explosion kicked up dust everywhere. The Civet King shrieked in pain, its body engulfed in raging flames, with Wind Blades carving several bloody wounds into it.

"Press the advantage!" Su Chen ordered, condensing his God-Defying Power into a palm and striking toward the Civet King's head.

Zi Yan also lunged out instantly, her Dragon Power erupting as her small fist smashed into the Civet King's wound. The Civet King completely lost its fighting capacity and collapsed to the ground, its aura withered.

Having dealt with the Civet King, Xiao Xun Er hurried to the purple flame grass. Just as she was about to pick it, she found her Heavenly Flame suddenly out of control, the reddish-gold fire backfiring toward her. "Oh no!" Her face turned pale as she tried to suppress the flame, but to no avail.

"Don't move!" Su Chen appeared beside her in an instant, his palm pressing against her dantian. Black-gold God-Defying Power slowly poured in, gently soothing the out-of-control Fallen Heart Flame. "Relax, feel my power, and let the God-Defying Power resonate with your Heavenly Flame."

Xiao Xun Er felt the warmth of his palm and the gentle power. Her body trembled, her cheeks turning beet red, and her tense body gradually relaxed. Guided by the God-Defying Power, the Heavenly Flame slowly calmed down and intertwined with the fire-attribute origin of the purple flame grass, turning into a strand of pure energy that merged into her dantian.

"Brother Su Chen, it's so hot..." Xiao Xun Er's breath was slightly hurried, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes held a hint of daze. "It feels like there's a fire burning inside me."

Su Chen lowered his head, his nose brushing against her forehead, his tone teasing. "Is it the heat of the Heavenly Flame, or the heat of a racing heart?"

Xiao Xun Er's cheeks reddened further. She looked away in panic but couldn't help leaning closer, her voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz. "Both... both..."

Watching this scene from the side, Yun Yun's ear tips turned slightly red, and a strange trace of sourness welled up in her heart. She turned to leave but was stopped by Su Chen. "Yun Yun, come here."

Yun Yun's footsteps faltered. After a moment's hesitation, she walked over, her tone still cool. "What is it?"

Su Chen picked a leaf of the purple flame grass and held it out to her. "The fire-attribute origin of the purple flame grass can also boost your Wind Blade, giving it a burning effect. I'll help you refine it."

Without waiting for Yun Yun's response, Su Chen grabbed her wrist. The God-Defying Power, carrying the energy of the purple flame grass, slowly flowed into her body. As their bodies drew close, Su Chen's breath brushed past her ear, making her whole body tremble and her cheeks flush.

"Concentrate and guide the energy to merge with your Wind Blade." Su Chen's voice was gentle and magnetic. "Your Wind Blade is sharp but lacks lethality. Adding a burning effect will make you even stronger."

Yun Yun bit her lip, forcing herself to concentrate. Under Su Chen's guidance, the energy of the purple flame grass successfully merged with her Wind Blade. She swung her sword to test it; the green Wind Blades now carried faint reddish-purple flames, their power greatly increased. "Thank you," she whispered, turning to leave, but Su Chen pulled her back.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Su Chen leaned down, his lips only centimeters away from hers. "Sect Leader Yun, give me a smile, or I'll have to kiss you."

Yun Yun's cheeks instantly turned bright red. She pushed him away in a panic and walked quickly to the side, but she couldn't help looking back at him, a faint, imperceptible smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Karin immediately sidled up to Su Chen, hugging his arm with a hint of jealousy in her voice. "Lord Su Chen, you only help Sister Xun'er and Sister Yun Yun, you don't even look at me! My Blood Contract Power can also fuse with the energy of the purple flame grass!"

"Alright, alright, I'll help you next." Su Chen pinched her cheek and said dotingly.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others also gathered around, competing for Su Chen's help in refining the energy of the purple flame grass. The scene was lively and sweet.

Xiao Xun Er looked at Su Chen's gentle profile and felt the evolved Heavenly Flame within her, her heart filled with reliance and love. Yun Yun leaned against a tree trunk, watching the scene before her. A trace of softness flashed in her cool eyes—she knew she could no longer remain detached. This man and the Sisters by his side had already given her a long-awaited warmth.
