Chapter 155.2 : Blushing Yun Yun!

"Very well. Let's hope Sect Master Yun can persuade your esteemed disciple this time," Xiao Yan remarked with a hint of sarcasm.

Yunyun remained silent.

They were accompanied by Venerable Ran and Yao Chen.

Yunyun's modest demeanor contrasted with Nalan Yanran's arrogance.

As they conversed, the noon approached, and Xiao Yan suggested a picnic.

Ran didn't object, and both Yunyun and Zero Shadow agreed to join.

Over lunch, they got acquainted.

Uchiha Ran and Venerable Yao were approachable, making the atmosphere pleasant.

"Are you planning to fuse with this body yourself, or should I assist you?" Ran inquired after they had eaten and drank.

Deciding to attend to some business, Ran intended to bid farewell to Venerable Yao, with whom he had a pleasant conversation.

It was also a way to gather information.

In the future, he wouldn't hesitate to wait at Falling Star Pavilion.

"Your Excellency, can you aid in my recovery?" Venerable Yao's eyes sparkled with hope.

"It's a simple matter," Ran replied with a smile. "I know a method that allows your soul to directly inhabit this body. However, the strength you can exert will depend on the extent of your soul's recovery."

"At your current state, you may only wield the peak strength of a Dou Zun. Nonetheless, with the familiarity of your body and your Dou Zun experience, you could endure against a newly promoted Dou Zun for an extended period."

"As your soul regains strength, your power will increase steadily until you reach the pinnacle of Dou Zun. And when your body and soul merge perfectly, that's when you'll break through to Dou Sheng."

"Are you willing to give it a try?"

"It's preferable to wait for Xiao Yan to refine it with Heavenly Flames. It'll be a single step to success," Venerable Yao decided promptly.

Refining with a dHeavenly Flame indeed grants him strength that corresponds to his physique.

But truth be told, such fusion carries hidden dangers, as the body no longer solely belongs to oneself.

The greater the strength, the more profound the peril concealed within.

Yet, if the method of Ran is employed, although the strength may be modest in its inception, it can gradually enhance the fusion's degree.

The crux lies in achieving a perfect amalgamation, enabling a breakthrough to Dou Sheng.

This presents a significant opportunity.

"Proceed." 

Ran affirmed, as Rinne Mangekyō suddenly ignited with brilliance.

"Seal!" Ran executed the soul transfer of the Venerable Yao into the body through Chakra as the conduit, employing the most direct approach.

Seals function akin to screws.

With the increasing soul power of the Venerable Yao, the screws gradually vanish, rendering the body more harmonious.

"Boom!" A formidable aura surged from Venerable Yao, embodying the pinnacle of Dou Zong strength.

"Ah, I can now better cultivate you, my disciple," Venerable Yao remarked to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan, without acknowledging the Medicine Venerable, turned to Uchiha Ran. "Ran, I've never inquired, how old are you now?"

Addressing him by his given name denotes a personal connection.

Of course, neither Zero Shadow nor Venerable Yao adopted such familiarity.

Xiao Yan's curiosity regarding Ran's age stems from their shared status as transmigrators, seeking a benchmark for progress.

Surely, the disparity couldn't be significant?

If Ran were fifty years old, practicing the Flame Mantra, even with diligent efforts, catching up might prove elusive.

Venerable Yao, also intrigued, observed Ran's interaction with Xiao Yan and listened intently.

Observing everyone, he sought insight into this ancient enigma's age.

"Curious about my age?" Ran smiled, shaking his head but disclosing the truth nonetheless.

"Less than half a year until my seventeenth birthday, so let's round it to sixteen."

Xiao Yan and the others were befuddled.

Sixteen years old, a half- Dou Di?

Surely, this was a jest. Shouldn't he abide by the laws of cultivation?

Even the previous Dou Di's couldn't attain such strength.

"You jest not." 

"I understand; your abilities maintain perpetual youth, eternally sixteen."

"You're right, but I'm the sixteenth, the one you don't want to believe."

"This lacks scientific basis."

"If we act like this, can we still claim to be scientific?"

"Even if it's far-fetched... can it be rationalized by science?"

"Believe in yourself."

"Okay, I believe it, cowhide, please take my knee."

"Complimentary gift!"

Xiao Yan:

Yunyun:

Such a stinky brother!

Ten minutes later.

"Alright, let's part ways here."

He handed Beast Flame and some icy cold springs to Xiao Yan, then gave the Accompany Purple Crystal Essence to Yun, and patted the Amethyst Winged Lion on the rear, preparing to depart.

For him, subduing a sixth-order monster at the peak of the Dou Emperor was as simple as exhaling.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was still quite delighted.

Would you like to become the mount of a saintly powerhouse?

"Ran, don't I need to continue guiding you?" Yunyun suddenly asked.

"Aren't you eager to enhance the strength of your esteemed apprentice?" Ran questioned.

"No rush, anyway, the three-year contract is bound to expire." Yun Yun shrugged it off.

Matters of contractual obligation could be set aside.

Yun Yun couldn't help feeling upset when a sixteen-year-old senior was addressed so casually and presumptuously.

Following Ran, she sought out a place.

Xiao Yan:

I'd be terribly bored if you did that.

Following such young powerhouse, I aim to win some gold.

"If you're up for it, let's go together."

Ran gestured and pulled Yun Yun onto the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, embracing her, and said with a grin, "Perhaps I'll find a trumpet for you to practice on."

Yunyun:???

I just want to be with you, I didn't say I wanted to sit together.

Who gave you permission to hug me?

Release!!!

And trumpet, are you insinuating something?

Absolutely not acceptable.

Yunyun blushed, bowing her head shyly.

Xiao Yan gave Ran a thumbs up and said with a grin, "Fellow companion, until we meet again.

"I'll have to visit you for a drink sometime."

Xiao Xiao waved farewell, and Ran let the Amethyst Winged Lion take flight.

Watching him depart, Xiao Yan was filled with determination.

"I am a descendant of Chinese people.

"Very good!"
