Chapter 33: Daughter, Is This Spring Awakening?

"Brother Yun, don't take offense, it's my failure to discipline properly..."

Tang Zhen wore a face full of smiles, cupping his fists toward Yun Yi, his eyes filled with apology.

Yun Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Tang's words are too heavy; Huo'er has a straightforward nature, why would I take it to heart."

Finished speaking, he reached out and lightly brushed over his storage ring, a jade bottle appearing in his hand.

The jade bottle was lustrous and translucent, faintly glowing with circulating light, inside was precisely the Fire Bodhi Pill.

Seeing the jade bottle, a trace of gratitude flashed in Tang Zhen's eyes, he hurriedly received it with both hands.

"Brother Yun, this time many thanks to you; if not for you going to Holy Pill City to seek the Fire Bodhi Pill, this girl Huo'er still wouldn't know what to do."

"Great kindness needs no thanks; in the future, wherever Tang Zhen can be of use, just speak!"

At this moment, seeing the Fire Bodhi Pill, Tang Huo'er also put away her previous playful appearance, her expression becoming a bit more serious.

"Brother Yun, since you've come to my Fen Yan Valley, you must stay a few more days..." Tang Zhen said enthusiastically, his eyes full of sincerity.

Yun Yi thought for a moment, then nodded, "I can spare two or three days."

"Then I'll arrange it right away..."

"Father, just let me take Uncle Yun to tour Fen Yan Valley properly!"

Tang Huo'er's eyes lit up; taking advantage of Tang Zhen's unfinished words, she hurriedly cut in, her eyes revealing anticipation.

This Uncle Yun was not only handsome, but also helped her obtain the Fire Bodhi Pill, the key point being he was still so young.

Tang Huo'er seemed to want to get to know Yun Yi a bit more.

"Alright!"

Tang Zhen couldn't refuse his daughter, smiled helplessly, and nodded in agreement.

"Then Brother Yun Yi, let Huo'er take you to visit the current Fen Yan Valley."

Yun Yi nodded indifferently.

Next, Tang Huo'er happily led the way in front.

Her steps were light and quick, her body exuding a playful beauty.

"Uncle Yun, look, that is our Fen Yan Valley disciples' cultivation sparring plaza."

"Normally, everyone spars there to improve their strength."

Tang Huo'er pointed at a spacious plaza not far away; on the plaza quite a few disciples were cultivating seriously, Dou Qi light flickering from time to time.

"Mm!"

Yun Yi lightly nodded, his gaze following the direction Tang Huo'er pointed, a faint smile on his face.

"Uncle Yun, walk further ahead and it's our Fen Yan Valley's Cang Jing Ge, inside are collected various Fire Attribute cultivation technique secret manuals."

Tang Huo'er spoke while hopping forward, occasionally turning back to look at Yun Yi, ensuring he kept up with her pace.

"Mm!"

Yun Yi still lightly nodded in response; he quietly followed behind Tang Huo'er, appreciating Fen Yan Valley's scenery.

Suddenly, Tang Huo'er made a sudden stop; she abruptly turned around, facing Yun Yi and revealing a bright smile.

Yun Yi was caught off guard; instantly his vision was filled by that fair face tinged with a hint of red, beautiful cheeks.

The distance between the two was really too close.

Yun Yi could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from the girl before him.

It was a scent mixed with floral fragrance and a young girl's body scent, fresh and captivating.

"Uncle Yun, are you married?"

Tang Huo'er tilted her head, asking with a face full of curiosity, her eyes flashing with spirited light.

Huo'er's words made Yun Yi freeze for a moment; he truly hadn't expected the other party to ask this kind of question.

However, he quickly recovered, responding with a smile.

"No!"

"Haha, lived this long and still alone!"

Tang Huo'er, for some reason, covered her mouth and laughed, that clear bell-like laughter reverberating in the air.

After laughing for a while, she continued walking forward, as if the question just now was merely a whim.

But it was very obvious Tang Huo'er's mood was even better, her eyes also more frequently drifting toward Yun Yi's face.

That pretty face even carried a hint of red.

And Tang Huo'er's guiding, from walking in front, quietly changed to staying by Yun Yi's side.

Only she was still too embarrassed to grab Yun Yi's hand.

But even so, in others' eyes it also appeared slightly more intimate.

"Miss Huo'er, who is he?"

At this moment, a youth dressed in fiery red clothes suddenly appeared before them, blocking the way.

The youth's figure was tall and straight, features handsome, but his face as he looked at Yun Yi carried a trace of concealed jealousy.

His cultivation base was not bad, possessing nine-star Dou Huang strength.

In Fen Yan Valley he also counted as an outstanding figure among the younger generation.

This person had always admired Tang Huo'er; seeing Tang Huo'er walking so intimately with a strange youth, his heart instantly surged with vinegar intent.

"None of your damn business, move aside!"

Tang Huo'er said displeasedly.

"I won't move unless you explain clearly!"

The youth stiffened his neck, looking like he wouldn't give up until he reached his goal.

He thought, no matter what he was a nine-star Dou Huang, in Fen Yan Valley's younger generation he also had some face; today he must figure out who this suddenly popped-up fellow was.

"I see your skin is itching for a beating!"

Tang Huo'er instantly flew into a rage; her willow brows stood on end, and she reached for the whip at her waist.

From childhood to now, no one has ever dared to block her path like this.

However, the next moment, before Tang Huo'er could even draw her whip, the youth before her floated up and was moved aside like a puppet.

The youth's face wore a terrified expression, his limbs flailing wildly in midair, yet he could not break free from that invisible force in the slightest.

"Th-this... what Dou Technique is this???"

Tang Huo'er turned back in surprise, looking at Yun Yi.

She discovered Yun Yi was merely standing there, his expression calm, without any movement.

But this was definitely done by Yun Yi.

Without any Dou Qi fluctuations, yet able to achieve this extent...

This kind of power, it seems even her old man couldn't pull off.

No wonder he could be appreciated by the Ancestor.

Tang Huo'er marveled secretly in her heart, and her gaze toward Yun Yi couldn't help but carry a few more traces of difference.

For some unknown reason, her heart began beating a bit faster.

According to what Father said, Yun Yi is actually only around fifty years old, not considered very old.

After such a commotion, Tang Huo'er also lost the interest to continue making things difficult, and brought Yun Yi back to the main hall.

Returning to the main hall, Tang Zhen had already prepared a banquet to entertain Yun Yi.

At the feast, Tang Zhen continuously toasted Yun Yi, expressing his gratitude.

Yun Yi did not decline either, accepting each one.

Amidst the exchanging of cups, Tang Zhen also curiously asked about Yun Yi's experiences.

After all, even he rarely left Fen Yan Valley.

Yun Yi smiled faintly, selecting some of his past experiences related to Fen Yan Valley to recount.

And outside the wine table, Tang Huo'er propped up her snow-white chin, staring at Yun Yi without blinking.

She listened to these past events with a full face of seriousness.

Her eyes might as well have grown on Yun Yi's face.

The experiences Yun Yi recounted deeply attracted this little girl who had grown up in Fen Yan Valley since childhood.

At this moment, Tang Huo'er's admiration for Yun Yi in her heart increased by a few more degrees.

Time flew by; three days passed in a flash.

Yun Yi felt he should leave as well; there were still many matters waiting for him to handle.

"Brother Tang, I have troubled you greatly during this stay at Fen Yan Valley; I should take my leave now."

Yun Yi stood in midair and said to Tang Zhen.

"Leaving this quickly? Young Brother Yun, staying a few more days would be no problem."

Tang Zhen said with some reluctance.

Yun Yi smiled and shook his head, "Many thanks for Brother Tang's kindness, but I have urgent matters on me, and it is truly inconvenient to stay long."

Finishing his words, he raised his hand and waved; a black Space Wormhole instantly tore open beside him.

This scene shocked Tang Huo'er so much her jaw nearly dropped.

Tearing open a Space Wormhole with a casual wave is not something an ordinary Cultivation Base can do.

"Father, what exactly is Uncle Yun's strength, to actually be able to tear open a Space Wormhole with a casual wave?"

Tang Zhen looked at his daughter's surprised appearance and said with a smile, "Most likely Dou Zun Peak."

"Although your father cannot see through his Cultivation Base, judging from the strength he has displayed, he should not be far from Dou Sheng either."

"Ah? Then isn't he many times more powerful than you, Father?"

Tang Huo'er was even more surprised.

The reverence in her heart for Yun Yi instantly rose several levels.

At this time, watching the slowly restoring Space Wormhole, for some reason, she felt a trace of reluctance.

"Oh no, I forgot to ask Uncle Yun where he's going just now!"

Tang Huo'er suddenly patted her forehead, her face full of vexation.
