An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 143

His beautiful master was definitely a ruthless character. Over the past period, Yang Chen had heard countless stories from Feng Yuwan about the many ruthless methods his master had employed in her youth.

Out of sheer rage, she had slaughtered entire sects, leaving rivers of blood in her wake. His master had done this more than once.

Otherwise, Feng Yuwan wouldn’t still be so afraid of her, even after several hundred years.

Seeing that his master was about to pinch him again, Yang Chen hurriedly said, “Master, let’s focus on the important matter! Disciple has confirmed the location of the Profound Deep Cold Flame!”

“Hurry and speak!” Zhan Lingshuang said in annoyance, her beautiful eyes glaring fiercely at Yang Chen.

This rebellious disciple could determine the location of the Profound Deep Cold Flame, meaning that the golden light in his eyes earlier must have pierced through the ground.

If it could see through such thick earth, then when it swept across her body earlier … Had she just been fully seen by this rebellious disciple?

How infuriating.  

When they returned, she would definitely settle accounts with him. She had to properly discipline this rascal—he was getting too bold. He even dared to take advantage of his master.

“Master, the Profound Deep Cold Flame is right beneath us!” Yang Chen flew ahead for over ten miles, stopping at a small hill.

Without saying a word, Zhan Lingshuang flew into the air and drew her sword, slashing several times at the ground below. Immediately, the ground was sliced open, revealing a hole over ten meters wide, from which magma began to gush out.

“Xue’er, you stay here and guard the entrance. If anyone tries to go down, kill them! Chen’er, come with me! We may need to rely on your power to subdue the Profound Deep Cold Flame!” Zhan Lingshuang said to Yang Chen.

“Alright!”

Yang Chen quickly activated the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, enveloping both him and Zhan Lingshuang, and they descended into the hole. Although the magma was scorching, the high temperatures were blocked by the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame.

The protective circle formed by the flame was small, so Yang Chen’s body was pressed tightly against Zhan Lingshuang. Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and he couldn’t resist taking a deep breath.

In his mind, the image of what he had just seen surfaced once again—pristine and flawless, like white jade, with ravines and peaks intertwined.

Though it had only been a glimpse, it was engraved deeply in his memory.

“Hiss!”

Suddenly, his arm was pinched hard. Turning his head, he saw his master glaring at him.

“Chen’er, what are you thinking about?”

“Nothing, Master! Disciple is thinking about how to help you subdue the Profound Deep Cold Flame!”

“Hmph! Do you believe that yourself?” Zhan Lingshuang pursed her lips, then said seriously, “When Xue’er was present just now, I didn’t want to speak about this, but let me warn you—whatever you saw earlier, you better forget it! Otherwise, you know what I’m capable of!”

“Yes, yes, Master, rest assured, your disciple truly saw nothing!” Yang Chen hurriedly responded.

“Hmph!” Zhan Lingshuang snorted coldly.

If anyone else had dared to spy on her like that, she would have killed them, no matter who they were. However, the one who had spied on her was her only disciple, so she could only issue a warning. After all, she had raised this rebellious disciple since he was young.

They continued to dive about forty to fifty meters into the magma when a ball of white light appeared in front of them.

The magma surrounding the white light was a mix of red and black.

The black color was clearly the magma that had been cooled by the Profound Deep Cold Flame.

“Profound Deep Cold Flame!” Zhan Lingshuang shouted in a low voice, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement.

She immediately circulated her true energy, forming a large handprint to grab the flame. However, the Profound Deep Cold Flame seemed to sense the approaching danger and quickly moved to evade the handprint. It even started descending further into the magma.

“It can even dodge! As expected of a rare treasure born of heaven and earth! But if you think you can escape from me today, you’re mistaken!”

Zhan Lingshuang left the protective barrier of Yang Chen’s flame and used her true energy to form a protective shield around herself, blocking the raging magma.

Then, she directly chased after the Profound Deep Cold Flame.

“Master!” Yang Chen hurriedly followed, assisting Zhan Lingshuang in blocking the flame’s escape.

Primordial Fires possessed intelligence, allowing them to sense danger. Moreover, the higher their rank, the greater their intelligence. It was said that the top ten flames on the Primordial Fire Ranking possessed wisdom comparable to humans.

Although Zhan Lingshuang was a powerful Void Refinement Realm cultivator, she had no experience in subduing Primordial Fires.

In this magma-filled world, she couldn’t fully exert her strength, while this place was the ideal environment for the Profound Deep Cold Flame.

After a while of chasing and blocking, they still couldn’t capture it.

Moreover, the Profound Deep Cold Flame was a high-ranking flame, so they couldn’t recklessly attack it with true energy.  If they provoked a Primordial Fire’s violent reaction, it could lead to disaster.

“How infuriating!” Zhan Lingshuang was fuming with frustration.

As a Void Refinement Realm cultivator and the undisputed top expert of the Northern Spirit Domain, she couldn’t believe she was being outmaneuvered by a Primordial Fire.

“Master, let me give it a try!” Yang Chen said at this moment.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Zhan Lingshuang said nothing.

Several streaks of green flame spread out from Yang Chen’s body, moving toward the Profound Deep Cold Flame.

Though Yang Chen also had no experience with capturing Primordial Fires, he knew that Primordial Fires had a natural tendency to devour one another.

As the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame floated around the Profound Deep Cold Flame, the latter suddenly stopped moving, clearly attracted by the flame. Then, the Profound Deep Cold Flame violently reacted, wrapping around one of the green flames.

“Gotcha!” A smile crept onto Yang Chen’s face as he began to guide the green flames back toward him. The Profound Deep Cold Flame followed, moving in their direction.

Though it possessed intelligence, it had only just been born, and its instincts were still dominated by its nature as a Primordial Fire.

“Well done, Chen’er!” Zhan Lingshuang’s beautiful eyes lit up with joy.

This rebellious disciple was full of cunning ideas—raising him from infancy had not been in vain. Once she refined the Profound Deep Cold Flame, her strength would surge even further. It would then be time to leave the Northern Spiritual Realm and head to the Central Continent for bigger opportunities.

The Profound Deep Cold Flame had swallowed another wisp of the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame and had completely forgotten the danger.

It was now within ten meters of Yang Chen and Zhan Lingshuang.

Seeing this, Zhan Lingshuang was about to make her move to capture it when suddenly, a red light flashed, wrapping around the Profound Deep Cold Flame.
