Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 105 Muffled Groans Under the Night

That night.

The stars twinkled, and a bright moon hung high, casting a hazy veil over the earth.

On the roof of Xiao Bai's courtyard, a beautiful couple sat nestled together; the man was handsome and the woman charming.

"My lord, how was my performance?" The little golden dragon stood upright in the air, smiling smugly.

"Hehe. Brother Xiao Bai, where did you find this little rascal!" Xun'er leaned on Xiao Bai's shoulder, her pretty face blooming with laughter, and asked in a sweet voice as she looked at the little golden dragon in front of her.

Staring at the little golden dragon, Xiao Bai was a little puzzled. This guy had changed his ways today. In front of Xun'er, he didn't say anything that would make people angry. Instead, he was very close to her.

Upon hearing Xun'er's question, Xiao Bai gave her a general account of the little golden dragon's origins.

"Golden lightning?" Xun'er tapped her lower lip with her index finger, pondered for a long time, and then shook her head. She didn't know what was wrong with this little guy either.

"Hehe, my lord, could you spare a little gold to try?"

The little golden dragon said with a fawning smile, it had long sensed that there was a huge special energy in Xun'er's body, an energy that it coveted.

"Little Gold?" Xun'er was a little confused. She didn't know what the little golden dragon was talking about.

"It's that kind of very hot stuff!" Little Golden Dragon hurriedly explained.

"Oh! You mean it?" Xun'er's eyes flashed with gold, and she knew what the little golden dragon was talking about.

"Get lost!" Xiao Bai shouted, waving his sleeve to shoo it aside. He wondered why this guy had changed his ways; it turned out he had his eye on Xun'er's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

Then, looking down at Xun'er who was hesitant, he said firmly, "You're not allowed to give it to her!"

"Okay!" Xun'er was overjoyed to see his angry expression. Her eyes narrowed into crescents as she obediently nodded.

Xiao Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the somewhat bewildered little golden dragon, his expression softening, and said, "She can't use that energy right now!"

This girl hasn't broken through to the Dou Zhe level yet. Once she uses it, she'll suffer the pain of being burned by the strange fire.

Xun'er didn't know that he knew it was the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, but she had told Xiao Bai when she was a child that this kind of pain would last until he broke through to the Dou Zhe cultivation technique before it would completely disappear.

He didn't want Xun'er to extend her affection to everything related to him, so he endured the pain and drew out the energy of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Bai summoned Xiao Yi, which appeared in the room beneath his feet with a flash of green light. He waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Little Golden Dragon happily ran off to play with Little Yi.

"Brother Xiao Bai, this is the first time you've ever lost your temper with Xun'er!" Xun'er teased with a smile.

"Sorry!" Xiao Bai touched his nose awkwardly. He had been in a hurry and hadn't paid much attention.

Xun'er shook her head, no longer teasing him. She reached out her small hand and gently stroked the silver markings on his forehead, saying somewhat inexplicably, "Brother Xiao Bai, can you tell Xun'er about it?"

When she saw him today, she was very curious about the lines on his head, and at the same time, she remembered that a year ago, he suddenly wore a headband, which might be the reason.

In the Dou Qi Continent, it's quite rare to see lines on one's forehead unless they are intentionally tattooed.

She knew Xiao Bai; he wasn't the kind of person who would deliberately get something like that tattooed on his forehead.

"I don't know what this is either. It just suddenly appeared after I practiced the technique once!" Xiao Bai said, somewhat troubled.

He had asked the old apothecary about this pattern, but perhaps because the old apothecary's own bloodline concentration was not high, he was somewhat averse to such things and did not know much about them.

He didn't tell Xiao Bai about the imperial family, but only that he had seen someone with this pattern on their head, but it was different from Xiao Bai's.

Moreover, if you carefully sense those patterns, you can detect a faint bloodline power, but Xiao Bai couldn't sense any bloodline power at all.

Seeing that the old apothecary didn't know, and according to his description, it didn't seem to be the clan mark of the eight ancient clans, Xiao Bai stopped trying to cover it up. There was no need for it; the original attempt to cover it up was just to prevent Xun'er from misunderstanding.

"A cultivation technique?" Xun'er frowned. She didn't recognize this pattern. It was recorded in the ancient clans of the eight ancient clans.

Xiao Bai doesn't belong to any of the eight clans. Before, she thought Xiao Bai was some unfamiliar Dou Di bloodline that had reverted to its ancestral form, which made her feel a little happy.

Although she knew that Xiao Bai possessed an extraordinary inheritance, she did not know how far he could go in the future. If he had the help of the imperial bloodline, his future path would be much easier.

But now it seems that's not the case!

"What? Xun'er is interested in this?" Xiao Bai looked at Xun'er with some anticipation. If there was anyone who could answer his questions right now, besides Yao Lao, it was only this girl in front of him.

"Xun'er does know something about a certain type of rune, but it's not the kind that Brother Xiao Bai has!" Xun'er shook her head.

She had already sensed it; the rune showed no unusual activity and was not the racial pattern of the Dou Di bloodline.

A flash of disappointment crossed Xiao Bai's eyes; he had been hoping that Xun'er could answer her questions!

However, we did gain something from this, as we can rule out one answer: the rune wasn't something he originally possessed, so it must have come from the cultivation technique.

We will know its specific effects later; there's no need to rush.

"But... Brother Xiao Bai looks even more majestic with this mark on his face!" The little girl cupped his face in her hands, looked him up and down a few times, and said with a smile.

"Naughty!" Xiao Bai gently stroked her delicate nose and smiled indulgently.

"Hmph!" Xun'er wrinkled her little nose at him and gave a soft snort.

"Brother Xiao Bai, tell Xun'er about what you've seen and heard along the way! Xun'er really wants to know!" Xun'er suddenly said.

A strange light flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and he sighed inwardly, "They've arrived."

"What's wrong, Brother Xiao Bai? Do you have any doubts?" Xun'er looked at Xiao Bai with a puzzled expression.

"No!" Xiao Bai quickly shook his head, and then recounted everything he had seen and heard along the way, without omitting anything. He only embellished the part about Medusa.

"Sigh!" Xun'er sighed softly, causing Xiao Bai's body to stiffen slightly.

Xun'er seemed oblivious, and softly said, "Brother Xiao Bai, promise Xun'er that you won't do anything as dangerous as attracting lightning in the future, okay?"

"You don't know, Xun'er was so scared, so scared." Xun'er couldn't continue speaking, and her eyes reddened.

"Okay, I promise you!" Xiao Bai gently hugged her and said hurriedly.

Xun'er nestled quietly in his arms, saying nothing more, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky.

She originally wanted to scold him and ignore him for several days, but when she thought of the news that came from the clan a few days ago, she fell silent.

She had received a letter from her clan telling her to return after she broke through to the Dou Zhe level, but she didn't want to leave.

She thought that she and he would always be together, just like when they were children, and would never be separated.

But now, the thought of leaving him all alone, especially after what he said at the gate, made her unable to feel any resentment.

I don't know how much time passed.

A muffled groan came from the roof. Xiao Bai gritted his teeth and endured it, not only offering no resistance but also relaxing the muscles in his neck as much as possible to avoid hurting her.

That slap really showed no mercy!
