People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Xun'er's fingertips, cool and gentle, first lightly tapped Xiao Yanji's chubby nose. Seeing the little one blink her watery eyes and tilt her head curiously, Xun'er slowly extended her index finger to her.

Little Flame Princess immediately stretched out her two tiny hands, no bigger than the palm of her hand, her knuckles soft and tender like a baby's. She carefully circled Xun'er's fingertips with a light touch, as if she were holding a feather, yet she clung to her tightly, unwilling to let go. Even her breath carried a soft warmth, so intimate that it softened one's heart.

After Xiao Yanji clenched her fingers and shook them, Xun'er looked up at Xiao Ling, her tone softening slightly as she recounted the details of the past:

“After you entrusted me with that Fire Calamity Fruit, Brother Xiao Ling, I immediately returned to the Ancient Clan without any delay. Although the fruit contained spiritual energy, it needed sufficient strange fire energy to nurture it. So I used my own Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame as a guide. Every day after my cultivation, I would consume my own battle qi to activate the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and inject it into the fruit little by little.”

"It took a full three months until I sensed a life force flowing within the fruit, at which point I stopped the energy transfer. Half a month later, Ling'er broke through the fruit's outer shell and appeared before me with her eyes open."

She lowered her eyes and touched Xiao Ling'er's pigtails, her fingertips clearly feeling the hidden warmth within them. Her voice became more solemn:

"Since Ling'er's birth, I have been paying attention to the fluctuations of the flames within her body. I discovered that since her birth, she has been nurturing a special flame that I have never seen before. I have searched through the ancient clan's records of strange flames and confirmed that this flame is not on any known list of strange flames on the Dou Qi Continent. However, in terms of the purity and explosive power of the flame, I have compared it with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame several times and can conclude that its strength is by no means inferior to the top ten strange flames."

At this point, Xun'er looked up and met Xiao Ling's gaze, clarifying the key points even more clearly:

"More importantly, this Fire Calamity Fruit was infused with your fused strange fire energy beforehand, which means that your strange fire foundation was laid before Ling'er was even conceived. And the energy for her subsequent incubation came entirely from the strange fire energy of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame."

"Now that the three are combined, Ling'er can not only control her own special flame at will, but also directly call upon the energy of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. I can even sense that there is the aura of your fused strange fire in her body. With just a little guidance, that power can be activated."

After listening to Xun'er's detailed explanation, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. His gaze, which had been on Xun'er, immediately shifted to Xiao Yanji, who was holding Xun'er's fingertips and shaking them. A hint of obvious curiosity appeared in his eyes.

In fact, when he gave the Fire Calamity Fruit to Xun'er, he had a vague idea that if Xun'er's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame were used to nurture it, the little Flame Princess nurtured by the fruit might also possess some of the power of a different kind of fire.

At that time, it was mostly based on speculation about the characteristics of the strange fire. Now, seeing Xiao Yanji so alive and well, and hearing that the energies of these different strange fires could really merge in her body, Xiao Ling was even more pleasantly surprised than he had expected.

Ling'er seemed to understand their conversation. She blinked her big, watery eyes repeatedly, then released her little hand that was holding Xun'er's fingertips. Her small figure floated lightly and landed between Xiao Ling and Xun'er.

Seeing that she was about to make a move, the two of them stopped talking and turned their curious gazes to her, wanting to see what the little one was going to do.

Under their watchful eyes, Ling'er slowly opened her two small hands. On her left palm, a brilliant golden flame suddenly leaped up, its outer layer wrapped in a faint golden light. The intense and domineering aura spread out instantly, and even the surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted by the heat.

On her right palm, a crimson flame slowly spread out, its patterns carrying a strange dynamism. Although its temperature was not as flamboyant as the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, it exuded a unique sense of weight and intensity.

Xiao Ling and Xun'er immediately recognized that the golden flame on Ling'er's left hand was Xun'er's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

The origin of that crimson flame, which Xiao Ling had never seen before and had never sensed before, was self-evident. It was the Heavenly Tribulation Flame, unique to the Flame Princess lineage and inherent in the Fire Tribulation Fruit, which was inherited by Ling'er.

"Is this Ling'er's unique Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame?" Xiao Ling's gaze fell on the crimson flame, his fingertips unconsciously twirling it, his tone filled with obvious interest, "This aura is indeed no weaker than ordinary strange flames. Even the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh on the Strange Flame Ranking, would be hard to distinguish in a battle of the same quality."

His gaze on the flames deepened, and a thought quietly arose in his mind: if he could get Ling'er to unleash some of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Flame, he might be able to take the opportunity to condense a fire seed.

Once he refines this fire seed using the Burning Technique and integrates it into his own Fusion Flame, even if it doesn't cause a qualitative change in the Flame, it can at least slightly enhance the strength of the Fusion Flame. For him, this is undoubtedly a worthwhile thing.

Of course, given the current strength of Xiao Ling's fusion with the strange fire, even if he could truly refine the Heavenly Tribulation Flame, the overall quality of the strange fire would probably not see a significant breakthrough; at most, it would only provide a slight boost.

But no matter what, even a small mosquito is still meat. Even if it only increases the power of the fused strange fire by a little, it is still a real benefit to him, which is better than getting nothing at all.

However, before Xiao Ling could think about what would happen next, Xiao Yanji made another move. She gently clenched her outstretched hands, and the previously leaping Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame and Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame were instantly drawn back into her palms and disappeared, as if returning to their nest.

The next second, she gently clasped her hands together in front of her chest, then suddenly snapped them apart to the sides. The flame energy merged above her palms, eventually condensing into a lotus of interwoven blue and gold.

The moment the flame appeared, Xiao Ling's eyes flickered and his fingertips tightened involuntarily. He was all too familiar with this aura; it was the strange fire energy he had injected into the Fire Calamity Fruit back then!

Clearly, during the gestation process, Little Flame Princess not only absorbed the power of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame and the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame, but also incorporated the strange fire energy he left behind into her own use, and also nurtured a fire seed within her body.

At this moment, the fused strange fire was still somewhat weak, and the fluctuations of the flame were still immature, but Xiao Ling had already made a judgment in his mind. His fused strange fire was originally formed by condensing multiple strange fires, and its quality was far more solid than ordinary flames.

Now that the fire seed has been condensed within Xiao Yanji's body, as long as she nurtures it carefully in the future, with the foundation of this strange fire, it will eventually grow to its due height. At the very least, it will not be a hindrance to the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. In fact, in terms of development potential, it may even surpass the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame.

Seeing the look of shock in Xiao Ling's eyes, Ling'er's eyes instantly curved into two small crescent moons, and her already excited face became even more lively with a smile.

She gently swayed her body towards Xiao Ling and Xun'er, making soft "ee-ya ee-ya" sounds, as if she were asking for praise. She also waved her little arms lightly, and even the faint flames surrounding her seemed to brighten a bit.

Then she opened her small mouth slightly, and the golden and red intertwined strange fire in her palm turned into a stream of light, which she gently inhaled into her stomach, causing the warmth around her to fade slightly.

After doing all this, Ling'er's small figure floated down and flew straight to Xiao Ling and Xun'er. She circled around Xiao Ling for a while, then nuzzled Xun'er's sleeve. Her bright eyes frequently glanced at the two of them, her boastful expression of "Look how amazing I am!" was straightforward and adorable, even the air seemed to be filled with a childlike liveliness. Having spent so much time with Ling'er, Xun'er had long since figured out her little personality. Seeing Ling'er gazing expectantly at Xiao Ling, she knew the little one was waiting for praise.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed Ling'er's head, her fingertips brushing through the soft hair. Her voice was so gentle it could melt water: "Ling'er is amazing. Not only can she use the three kinds of flames so well, but she also knows to show them off in front of us. She's such a clever little one."

After being praised by Xun'er, Ling'er's eyes shone even brighter, her little face was full of satisfaction, and even her swaying movements became a little lighter.

But her gaze never left Xiao Ling. Her watery eyes blinked repeatedly, sparkling like starlight, clearly conveying her expectation that "I also want to be praised by you."

Seeing this, Xiao Ling could easily see through her little scheme. He chuckled and gently pinched the pigtails on her little head, his tone indulgent: "Hehe, our Ling'er is truly remarkable. She can control three different kinds of strange fire at such a young age. She's much more capable than I was back then."

Hearing Xiao Ling's praise, Ling'er instantly jumped for joy. Her small body rushed to Xiao Ling's side, gently rubbing her cheek against his palm, making soft "ee-ya" sounds, and even reaching out her little hand to grasp his fingers and shake them.

Then it floated to Xun'er's side, holding one of their fingertips in one hand, and floated back and forth between the two of them. Its joyful appearance was just like that of a child who had received double the candy.

Although this was Ling'er's first time meeting Xiao Ling, perhaps because she had absorbed the strange fire energy injected by Xiao Ling at the beginning of her pregnancy, she felt no sense of unfamiliarity with him.

Ling'er could sense that, apart from Xun'er who accompanied her day and night, Xiao Ling was the closest person to her. As long as she was by the side of these two people and felt their familiar presence, she felt overjoyed.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling gently coaxed Xiao Yanji to show the fused strange fire that she inherited from him once again.

The blue-gold flames burned quietly in Ling'er's palm, and after observing intently for a moment, Xiao Ling also made a judgment in his mind.

This flame is indeed a genuine condensed seed, not just a superficial energy illusion. However, the seed is still in its nascent stage, and the flame's fluctuations are still somewhat immature and weak.

However, Xiao Ling also noticed a pity: although this fused strange fire inherited the characteristics of multiple strange fires, the fire seed that condensed in Ling'er's body was only a single fused form.

The drawback of this is that, when Ling'er uses this strange fire, unlike Xiao Ling's own strange fire, she cannot maintain the domineering power after fusion, nor can she disassemble it into individual strange fire forms such as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame at any time, and switch between them flexibly.

Xiao Ling lightly tapped the flame with his fingertip, a faint smile flashing in his eyes: "It's a pity that it can't be decomposed; that's a minor imperfection."

But on second thought, it was already remarkable that Ling'er was able to condense the fused strange fire into a seed at the very beginning of her conception. This minor flaw was ultimately insignificant, and as her strength grew in the future, there might be a possibility of making up for it.

After observing the strange fire seed, Xiao Ling twitched his fingertips slightly, and a cluster of dark red flames quietly appeared, which was the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that he had subdued before.

He deliberately suppressed the energy intensity of the flame, weakening it to a level slightly weaker than Ling'er's current cultivation level, before gently extending it forward, letting the ball of flame drift in front of Ling'er.

Ling'er relied on absorbing various kinds of flame energy to grow and improve her cultivation. When she saw flames being offered to her, her eyes lit up instantly. How could she refuse?

She stretched out her little hand and gathered the ball of red lotus karmic fire into her palm. Her little face was full of joy, and even her breathing quickened.

Looking at her "accepting all comers" attitude, Xiao Ling's eyes showed a hint of anticipation. He wasn't just "feeding" her; he wanted to try. Since Ling'er had been able to absorb the energy of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and the fusion of different flames to condense a fire seed within herself, would she also be able to condense a unique fire seed of the Red Lotus Karmic Flame within her body if she absorbed this Red Lotus Karmic Flame?

Even if this spark is extremely weak when it is first formed, and it is even difficult to exert its basic power, as long as the spark exists, it is worth nurturing it slowly.

For Ling'er, having an extra different kind of fire seed means having an extra powerful ability. As she grows up, this foundation will be far beyond what ordinary experts can match.

He watched quietly as Ling'er closed her eyes, absorbing the energy of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in small sips. The dark red flames in his palm gradually merged into her body. He silently hoped that this time, there would be another surprise.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. From afternoon until dusk, although Ling'er understood Xiao Ling's intention and tried her best to absorb the energy of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the unique seed of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire could not be formed in her body.

In the end, Ling'er clutched the dying embers of the flame, her little mouth slightly pursed, her round face full of aggrieved disappointment, even her swaying movements slowed down a bit.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Ling felt a pang of disappointment, but he quickly suppressed it.

He reached out and ruffled Ling'er's pigtails, his fingertips brushing against her slightly drooping head, and gradually he understood the key point.

The reason Ling'er was able to nurture a different kind of fire seed in the Fire Realm Fruit was because of the special circumstances of the Fire Tribulation Fruit itself at that time, plus the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and the fused different kind of fire energy he injected. The interaction of the three during the nurturing period gave birth to that special effect.

Now that times have changed, without the innate blessing of the Fire Calamity Fruit, and without the special environment of energy fusion during the gestation period, it is naturally difficult to replicate the miracle of condensing the fire seed by simply absorbing external fire energy.

Although the expected results were not achieved, Xiao Ling was not too disappointed, after all, this was just an experiment.

Little Flame Princess can now control three layers of flames, a truly formidable ability. Xiao Ling never intended to push her further, and he was quite accepting of it. (End of Chapter)
