Chapter 228: Swallowing Exotic Fire

The strange deep light scanned back and forth on the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, finally stopping at the center of its forehead. Then it began to shrink, finally becoming a green flower, imprinted on the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's forehead.

The originally ferocious Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake finally became docile, staring at Qing Lin without blinking. At this moment, Qing Lin seemed to have over-consumed and fainted directly.

Xiao Yan ran quickly to Qing Lin's side and hugged her. The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake wanted to block him, but sensing Xiao Yan had no malice toward Qing Lin and feeling it couldn't beat Xiao Yan, it could only stare at Xiao Yan with vigilance.

As long as Xiao Yan made a move to harm Qing Lin, even if it couldn't beat Xiao Yan, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake would force itself to protect its master.

After a while, the unconscious Qing Lin finally woke up. Looking up at Xiao Yan, who was holding her, Qing Lin instantly regretted waking up so early.

However, when Qing Lin saw the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake not far away, she became happy instantly, smiling until her little tiger teeth showed.

"Thank you, Young Master! I didn't expect the Young Master to really catch a pet for me!" Only then did Qing Lin know what the pet Xiao Yan mentioned was.

"What nonsense, I just treat her as a little sister!" Xiao Yan pouted and said.

Besides, Xiao Yan had a little snake lying in his arms!

He took the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python out of his arms to look at it and found it was still sleeping.

"I will definitely not leave the Young Master." Qing Lin said with a firm tone.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment. He was good to Qing Lin just because he felt she was somewhat pitiful, and Xiao Yan didn't have much feeling about the offspring of Snake-People and humans. After all, Xiao Yan's soul wasn't from this world, so he didn't have such great hatred for Snake-People.

Although Qing Lin would have a good development if she went to the Heaven Snake Mansion, Xiao Yan's own strength was already not weak. After this seclusion, his strength would improve by leaps and bounds.

According to Yao Lao, it was because she forcibly evolved into the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, so the energy consumption was too great, which was why she had been sleeping.

"Hehe, but that little girl doesn't treat you as a brother!" Yao Lao teased.

Hearing this, the Green Lotus Core Flame, which had transformed into a small green snake, was stunned, seemingly thinking about something, then directly transformed into a flame form and wrapped around Xiao Yan's entire body.

"The Young Master is so good to me!" Qing Lin kissed Xiao Yan on the face directly, then tucked her head in again.

"Sigh! It's like this every time! It makes me feel reluctant to swallow it!" As the saying goes, even if you raise a cat or a dog, you develop feelings!

"Actually, you don't necessarily have to swallow the entire Green Lotus Core Flame. You only need to absorb the energy of the Green Lotus Core Flame like you did when absorbing the Purple Fire last time. This way, although the Green Lotus Core Flame will lose some energy, it will recover after a period of time, and you can use it for a long time!" Seeing Xiao Yan was somewhat reluctant, Yao Lao thought of a good method.

"Hehe, this is just the beginning. You will subdue more magical beasts in the future. The more magical beasts you subdue, the stronger your strength will be. Maybe you will surpass me in the future, and I will need to suck up to you!" Xiao Yan said to Qing Lin with a smile.

"Alright then! This storage ring has some daily necessities. If it's not enough, go ask my two brothers for more." Seeing Qing Lin was so determined, Xiao Yan didn't force her to leave.

Under Qing Lin's reluctant gaze, Xiao Yan jumped directly into the magma and swam toward the direction of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

However, the reason the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python kept lying on Xiao Yan was that Xiao Yan's cultivation method could operate on its own, and the surrounding fire-attribute energy was extremely abundant, which was why the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python sought out Xiao Yan.

"Teacher, you are too bad! You are harvesting leeks! But I like it!" Xiao Yan widened his eyes, feeling as if he were meeting Yao Lao for the first time.

"It depends on your choice! If you really want to follow me, I won't refuse, but being by my side is very dangerous. You need to think clearly." Xiao Yan sighed and said.

"Holy crap! Ah! Oh!" Before Xiao Yan could react, the Green Lotus Core Flame had already spread all over his body. At this moment, Xiao Yan finally experienced how Medusa felt at that time—how terrifying the power of an uncontrolled Exotic Fire was.

"Qing Lin is just the Young Master's little maid. If the Young Master says this, is it that you don't want Qing Lin anymore?" Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yan with teary eyes, looking pitiful.

Besides, as long as enough snake-type magical beasts were provided to Qing Lin, Qing Lin's strength would naturally increase rapidly. Whether she went to the Heaven Snake Mansion or not didn't make much difference.

"Little Yanzi, not bad, right? You've gained another beauty with infinite potential!" Yao Lao teased.

This Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had been sleeping ever since it was brought out of the desert, and no matter what he did, it wouldn't wake up.

"Uh... I'm going to be in seclusion for a long time. Won't you be bored staying here?" Xiao Yan looked at Qing Lin with some astonishment.

"Then will the Young Master leave Qing Lin?" Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yan and said.

"Hehe, this is your own merit. If you didn't have the strange Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils, even if I put the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake in front of you, you wouldn't be able to subdue it. This Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake has decent strength, reaching the Dou Ling level, stronger than any leader in Shimo City. No one will dare to bully you in the future." Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

"I'll take you home, you lend me some energy to evolve, okay?" Xiao Yan looked at the small green flame snake before him and said in a negotiating tone.

"Can Qing Lin wait for the Young Master here?" Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yan with anticipation. At this moment, Xiao Yan had become her closest person, and she really didn't want to be separated from him.

"Qing Lin is not afraid!" Qing Lin said with a firm tone.

Xiao Yan had just reached the cyan lotus seat when the Green Lotus Core Flame at the center of the lotus platform transformed into a small snake and circled around Xiao Yan, seemingly welcoming his arrival.

Qing Lin looked at the magma below. Although she really wanted to accompany Xiao Yan down, she knew her strength wasn't enough and she couldn't go down at all.

"Are you made of water? Why do you cry at every turn!" Xiao Yan laughed helplessly.

However, Yao Lao's method was indeed good. Exotic Fire was essentially just energy. Even if he swallowed the entire Green Lotus Core Flame, it would only prolong the time for it to regenerate next time, but Xiao Yan didn't intend to do that.

"But I'm going into seclusion soon. The place where I'm going into seclusion is under this magma, so you can't accompany me down. So you go back to the station first! I'll accompany you after I come out of seclusion!" Xiao Yan explained.

Xiao Yan walked to the center of the lotus platform, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to start swallowing the Exotic Fire.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan wanted to shout stop, but he couldn't. His Fourth-Rank magical beast body was nothing before the Green Lotus Core Flame. In the blink of an eye, it was burned until only white bones remained.

The Yin-Yang Dual Flames were currently trying their best to rescue him, wrapping Xiao Yan's entire skeleton tightly, but it was still to no avail. Xiao Yan's whole body was about to turn into a pile of ashes, and he wouldn't even be able to leave ashes behind.
