As Xiao Chong left many strong cultivators couldn't help but show looks of admiration in their eyes.
Such a strength, he is truly a role model for us all!
"Master, I must train even harder from now on!"
"As long as I can reach your level, I won't be looked down upon as just a pretty face even if I have a relationship with Brother Xiao Chong..."
When she said this, Nalan Yan Ran delicate face turned slightly red, and her twelve-year-old face was filled with determination.
Yun Yun nodded naturally, but as she watched the direction in which Xiao Chong flew away, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
However, she hid it well, and no one noticed.
...
On the way back, Xiao Chong naturally flew very fast.
After all, he had already completed his training and seized every opportunities along the way. Moreover, the heavenly fire in his storage ring were recovering faster and faster due to absorbing his innate energy.
Naturally, it was best to hurry back and find a good place to store them.
On the way back, Xiao Chong also sensed a furious aura emanating from the desert of the Snake People.
It seemed that the leader of the snake tribe had discovered that the heavenly fire she had been searching for tirelessly for who knows long had already been taken by someone else.
What she would do next would have to wait until later.
As for Qing Lin in his arms, she was as obedient as ever, nestled in Xiao Chong's embrace, feeling his warmth.
After all, she was only seven or eight years old.
At Xiao Chong full speed, he soon appeared above the Xiao family and descended from the sky. As soon as he landed, waves of cheers erupted throughout the Xiao family.
"Young Master Xiao Chong is back!"
"Hahaha, my son, you're back, you're finally back!"
Soon, the elders of the Xiao family, along with Xiao Zhan, came out to welcome Xiao Chong.
Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Chong shoulder with satisfaction and said,
"I heard that you accidentally helped the entire Jia Ma Empire solve the problem of being invaded by the Chu Yun Empire? Hahaha, not bad, truly my son."
Clearly, news of the great battle at the Yellow Stone Fortress had spread quickly.
By now, Xiao Zhan had naturally learned of Xiao Chong feat of single-handedly repelling the entire Chu Yun Empire's army at the Yellow Stone Fortress.
During this time, countless strong cultivators had rushed to the Xiao family to congratulate them on having such a talented son, while also continuously trying to strengthen their ties with the Xiao family.
Thinking of the honor his son had earned outside, Xiao Zhan couldn't stop smiling.
Xiao Chong mother, however, walked up with concern. Although Xiao Chong, now twelve years old, had already surpassed his mother in height, he obediently lowered his head to let his mother pat it.
After all, as a mother, and a notably caring one at that, she was more concerned about her child safety than his fame outside.
After showing concern for her child health, His mother quickly turned her gaze to Qinglin, who was nestled in Xiao Chong arms.
"Chong'er, who is this little girl?"
"This little girl is Qinglin... my maid. I'll trouble you to take care of her as well, Mother."
"A maid? Wonderful, wonderful. This girl looks so delicate and fresh. She'll surely grow into a great beauty, perfectly suited to be my son maid."
Hearing this, Qinglin little face flushed red, but she still looked at Xiao Chong mother with gratitude.
Perhaps it was because this was the first time she had seen someone other than Xiao Chong who showed no hostility toward her, a half-snake hybrid. Naturally, Xiao Chong mother harbored no hatred for snake people. She walked up to Qinglin and took her small hand.
"Since you're back, go and inform the others. I'll take care of this little girl for now."
"Yes, thank you, Mother."
Xiao Chong quickly excused himself and headed toward the back mountain of the Xiao family.
He had been away for nearly half a month, and by now, Elder Yao should have completed the refinement of the seventh-grade pill. Currently, he couldn't sense the aura of Xiao Yan and the others in the main hall of the Xiao family, so they were likely still in the back mountain.
Now that he was back, it was only natural to check on their situation first.
However, just as he was about to head to the back mountain, a graceful young girl with long black hair suddenly emerged from the shadows, blocking his path.
"Brother Xiao Chong, you've been gone for over half a month."
"Xun'er missed you so much."
Looking at the girl before him, who was only twelve but already strikingly beautiful and captivating, Xiao Chong reached out and gently patted her head.
"Xun'er, I missed you too."
As Xiao Chong stroked her hair, Xun'er closed her eyes contentedly.
However, soon after, Xun'er sniffed lightly, her nose twitching as she caught a faint scent from Xiao Chong.
"Brother Xiao Chong, for some reason, your aura feels so familiar to me now."
"Is it because you've become even more handsome after this trip?"
As Xun'er smiled at Xiao Chong, a faint golden flame-like light flickered in her bright eyes.
Was that... the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame?
However, it seemed that what Xun'er currently controlled was not the true Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, but rather a weaker sub-flame.
Was this a way to help Xun'er adapt more easily to the true Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame in the future by absorbing the sub-flame early?
If that were the case, then it made sense that Xun'er felt a closer connection to his aura.
But Xiao Chong just laughed and said,
"Haha, maybe it's because you really missed me, Xun'er."
"Brother Xiao Chong, you're so annoying."
With that, Xiao Chong patted Xun'er's head, chatted with her for a while, and then made his way alone to the back mountain of the Xiao family.
In the back mountain, Elder Yao seemed to have already finished his alchemy work and was now verbally instructing Xiao Yan.
As Xiao Chong walked through the spatial gate from the back mountain, Yao Chen nodded in acknowledgment. However, in that instant, the Bone Chilling Flame within him began to react.
"Is this... the aura of a heavenly flame?! Xiao Chong, you went out for a while and actually managed to bring back a heavenly flame?"
"That's right."
As he spoke, Xiao Chong casually waved his hand, and seven heavenly flame bracelets of different colors appeared in his palm.
Seeing the seven bracelets in Xiao Chong's hand, both Yao Chen and Xiao Yan widened their eyes in shock.
"Xiao Chong, are you saying that in just one trip, you managed to bring back seven different heavenly flames?"
"Indeed."
Looking at the relaxed and carefree expression on Xiao Chong face, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan both felt their lips twitching uncontrollably.
'You bastard, you're just too ridiculously lucky!'
