Phoenix flames blaze by the Ice and Fire Spring, skin to skin pressed together, sealing their tragic love.

After the rest at the Poison Mist Valley ruins, the Sisters were each immersed in the joy of their strength increasing: Xiao Yi Xian repeatedly played with the gold-purple poison butterfly in her palm, Karin pestered Su Chen, chattering about wanting to strengthen their Blood Contract, and Ning Rongrong studied the spatial techniques of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

Only Xiao Xun Er gazed towards the depths of the Star Dou Secret Realm, the gold-red God Defying Phoenix Flame dancing gently in her palm, a trace of unfinished expectation hidden in the depths of her eyes.

"Xun'er, what are you thinking about?" Su Chen noticed her abnormality, walked to her side, his fingertips gently brushing past her hair, his black-gold gaze full of doting affection.

Xiao Xun Er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she took the initiative to hold Su Chen's hand, her voice carrying a trace of shyness and firmness: "Brother Su Chen, although my God Defying Phoenix Flame has initially awakened, it has not yet fully merged with the Ice and Fire origin. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Star Dou Secret Realm is the final opportunity; I want to... go one more time to let the Phoenix Flame reach complete perfection."

She paused, looked up into Su Chen's eyes, "And, I want to go with you; only by your side do I feel at ease."

"Alright, I will accompany you." Su Chen agreed without hesitation, turning his head to look at the Sisters, "You all rest around the ruins. Zhu Zhuqing, Hanabi, continue to keep watch for remnants of the Spirit Hall. I will take Xun'er to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and we will be back soon."

"Master Su Chen! Why do you get to accompany Sister Xun'er again?" Karin immediately pounced over, hugging Su Chen's arm, stomping her feet full of jealousy, "I want to go too! I haven't strengthened my Blood Contract yet!"

Xiao Yi Xian also came over carrying her medicine basket, her eyes filled with expectation: "Brother Su Chen, I can help you guard the law; my Poison Mist can isolate interference."

Su Chen smiled and rubbed Karin's hair, soothing her: "Be good. Once I help Xun'er finish her evolution, I will return immediately to help you strengthen your Blood Contract; no one will be left out. The energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well only fits the Exotic Fire; you wouldn't be able to use it even if you went. Just wait for us here."

Xiao Xun Er also looked gently at the Sisters: "Sisters, don't worry, I will be back soon. Then I will let you see the complete God Defying Phoenix Flame."

Although the Sisters were reluctant to let them go, they knew the importance of the matter, so they nodded in agreement one after another.

Su Chen held Xiao Xun Er's hand, transforming into a streak of black-gold light, speeding towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

When they arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again, the setting sun was dyeing the surface of the spring gold-red, and the extreme collision of ice and lava made the energy in the air even purer than before.

Su Chen raised his hand to set up a God-Defying light barrier, isolating the entire spring area from the outside world: "No one will disturb us here; feel free to evolve."

Xiao Xun Er nodded, taking off her outer long dress to reveal her slender, fair figure, her skin glowing with a faint blush under the reflection of the setting sun.

She took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the spring water. The cold and scorching energy wrapped around her simultaneously, making her tremble slightly. The gold-red God Defying Phoenix Flame surged out from her body instantly, resonating with the energy in the spring water.

"Brother Su Chen, come over and help me guide the energy." Xiao Xun Er turned to look at Su Chen, her eyes filled with reliance, "Only your God-Defying Power can make the ice and fire energy fuse perfectly."

Su Chen also took off his outer garment and stepped into the spring water, walking in front of her.

The two were only inches apart, able to clearly feel each other's body temperature and breathing.

He placed his palm on Xiao Xun Er's dantian, and the black-gold God-Defying Power slowly poured in: "Relax, follow my rhythm, and let the God Defying Phoenix Flame absorb the ice and fire energy."

Xiao Xun Er closed her eyes and, as instructed, activated her Exotic Fire. The gold-red Phoenix Flame surged in her palm, intertwining with the ice and fire energy in the spring water, forming a gorgeous energy vortex.

As the energy was continuously absorbed, the color of the Phoenix Flame gradually turned from gold-red to golden-red, and the phoenix phantom condensed within the flame became increasingly clear, emitting a crisp phoenix cry.

"Brother Su Chen... so hot..." The collision between the ice and fire energy and the Exotic Fire made Xiao Xun Er's whole body burn, her skin flushed with an alluring blush, and her breathing became rapid.

Subconsciously, she moved towards Su Chen, her back pressed tightly against his chest, her arms wrapping around his neck, seeking a trace of coolness and support.

Su Chen felt the softness and scorching heat of the person in his arms, his arms subconsciously wrapping around her waist, pulling her tighter.

The black-gold God-Defying Power and the gold-red Phoenix Flame completely merged, flowing along their touching skin, helping her sort out the violent energy: "Bear with it, it's almost done. Imagine the appearance of a phoenix nirvana, and let the Phoenix Flame completely accept the Ice and Fire origin."

His chin rested on the top of Xiao Xun Er's head, warm breath brushing past her ear, with a low and gentle voice: "Xun'er, your Phoenix Flame is not only a weapon, but also a witness to our bond. Once the evolution is complete, it will protect you forever and will always resonate with me."

Xiao Xun Er's body trembled slightly, partly because of the energy impact, and also because of Su Chen's intimate contact and affectionate words.

She could clearly feel the temperature of Su Chen's palm, feel his steady heartbeat, and the love in her heart burned as wildly as the Phoenix Flame.

She suddenly opened her eyes, turned to look at Su Chen, stood on tiptoe, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.

This kiss carried the scorching heat and lingering affection of the intertwined ice and fire, and the gold-red Phoenix Flame danced around the two, making the spring surface appear even more gorgeous.

Su Chen responded to her kiss, his God-Defying Power surging again, helping her completely absorb the origin energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Following a phoenix cry that shook the valley, the gold-red Phoenix Flame completely transformed; the phoenix phantom spread its wings, circled the spring area once, and then turned into a streak of light, merging into Xiao Xun Er's body.

"It succeeded!" Xiao Xun Er shouted in surprise, turning and pouncing into Su Chen's arms, the gold-red Phoenix Flame dancing gently in her palm, "Brother Su Chen, my God Defying Phoenix Flame is completely perfect! It can understand my heart, and it can perfectly resonate with your God-Defying Power!"

"I knew you could do it." Su Chen hugged her tightly, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, his black-gold gaze full of relief and deep affection, "My Xun'er is now a true Phoenix Flame Queen."

Xiao Xun Er looked up at Su Chen, her cheeks burning hot, but her eyes were incomparably firm: "Brother Su Chen, my Phoenix Flame burns for you, and I live for you. From now on, no matter what danger I encounter, I will use this Phoenix Flame to protect you, never leaving or forsaking you."

"Alright, never leaving or forsaking." Su Chen lowered his head, kissed her lips again, and hugged her tightly in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two, the gold-red Phoenix Flame and the black-gold God-Defying Power intertwined, forming a light of eternal bond.

Outside the light barrier, the sound of prying from Spirit Hall remnants could be vaguely heard, but they were scared away by the aura Su Chen released instantly.

He ignored these scum, just hugged Xiao Xun Er tightly in his arms, feeling each other's heartbeat and love—at this moment, the extreme energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could not compare to the deep bond between the two.

For a long time, the two tidied up their clothes, and Su Chen held Xiao Xun Er's hand, returning in the direction of the Poison Mist Valley ruins.

The gold-red Phoenix Flame danced in Xiao Xun Er's palm, like a love token guarding the two, and the path of bonds in the Star Dou Secret Realm also became increasingly firm because of this deep fusion.
