People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

171: Chapter 171 Fire Child: We can’t let Xiao Ting play us so easily.”So, according to your habit, do you want to make a bet with me? Is the value of the thing I give Xun’er higher than the eighth-tier Natural Treasure you gave?”

Thinking that Huo Zhi also possessed a type of Heavenly Flame—the Red Lotus Karma Fire, ranked eighth on the strange fire ranking list—Xiao Ting suddenly had an idea.

”Bet with you?” Huo Zhi was stunned for a moment.

I know that what you want to give Xun’er is the Fallen Heart Flame.

The eighth-tier Natural Treasure I gave is good, but in terms of rarity and value, it’s far inferior to a Heavenly Flame.

So, this was a bet destined to be lost.

”What, are you scared?” Xiao Ting used a provocation.

”Would I be afraid of you?” Huo Zhi guessed that Xiao Ting wanted to get something from her, so she immediately went along with it: ”A bet it is. I don’t believe you can produce it.”

”If I win, I want you to...” Xiao Ting left her hanging.

Huo Zhi was stunned again, her emotions fluctuating.

Xun’er is still here; doesn’t this man care about appearances?

”Lend me the Red Lotus Karma Fire to play with for a bit,” Xiao Ting continued.

Huo Zhi: ”...”

So he had his eye on my Heavenly Flame.

”Then if I win, I want you to not see Xun’er for the next three months,” Huo Zhi said with a provocative look.

”Deal.” Without a word, Xiao Ting summoned the Purple Heaven Flame and released the Fallen Heart Flame formed from the other half of its energy: ”What I’m giving is a Heavenly Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame. Do you think you’ve won or lost?”

”Fallen Heart Flame?” Huo Zhi’s expression was one of shock: ”This Heavenly Flame was sealed under the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower of Jia Nan Academy by a Dou Zun expert. How did you get it out?”

”Don’t worry about that. I naturally have my ways, and Jia Nan Academy gave it to me voluntarily.” Xiao Ting looked at her with a smile: ”Just say it, have you lost or not?”

”I lost, I lost.” Huo Zhi revealed a speechless expression: ”I really didn’t expect you could actually dig out the very root of Jia Nan Academy.”

”It’s good that you admit defeat.” Xiao Ting stretched out his hand and immediately demanded: ”Now, lend me the Red Lotus Karma Fire to play with.”

”Are you sure?” A hint of playfulness appeared on Huo Zhi’s exquisite face beneath her veil.

She couldn’t wait to see Xiao Ting suffer. This eighth-ranked flame on the strange fire ranking list, once controlled by a Dou Sheng and now by her, a Dou Zun, was not so easy to ”play” with.

Especially her Red Lotus Karma Fire, which possessed special effects and characteristics; Xiao Ting might just end up playing with fire and getting burned.

”I’m sure. Come on.” Xiao Ting crooked his finger.

”You chose this yourself. If you embarrass yourself, don’t blame me.” Huo Zhi extended her jade-like hand, and a deep red, lotus-shaped flame began to emerge upon it. Looking closely, it gave off a seductive and mysterious feeling.

The Fallen Heart Flame floating nearby seemed to have seen a mortal enemy and immediately hid behind Xiao Ting.

”The Red Lotus Karma Fire, also known as the Hellfire, is born in places where countless living beings have died. it can precisely burn the sins within a soul and has a lethal strike effect against evil souls.”

As Huo Zhi explained, the Red Lotus Karma Fire fully took shape.

”Effective against souls?” Xiao Ting was secretly delighted; this was truly great news.

He didn’t hesitate to control the Purple Heaven Flame to envelop the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

”Huh?” Huo Zhi’s expression froze again.

Why was her Red Lotus Karma Fire being so well-behaved?

Didn’t it even dare to ’show its teeth’ when it encountered the fused Heavenly Flame in her father’s hands?

”No, I can’t let Xiao Ting play with it so easily!”

Huo Zhi decided to cause some trouble. she had to leave a deep impression on Xiao Ting. Taking advantage of her wouldn’t be that easy, and she wasn’t that easy to compromise with either.

”Resist for me.”

Huo Zhi formed hand seals, secretly urging the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

If her Red Lotus Karma Fire fully erupted, it could directly contend with even a Dou Zun expert.

If it faced those heinous cultivators who had committed many killings, it could even directly obliterate them.

For example, the disciples of the Tianming Sect in the Central Plains, who practiced techniques that grew stronger by devouring others’ cultivation and essence blood, were incredibly fragile before the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Facing Xiao Ting, a mere Dou Huang expert, how could it not work?

But in the next moment, Huo Zhi received information sent back by the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

She seemed to have arrived at a mysterious otherworldly realm, where her eyes met an endless curtain of dark clouds.

Purple lightning wandered through the dark clouds, and as it fell, it carried terrifying flames. The world was being carved open under this horrifying energy.

The momentum was grand, the sky was collapsing and the earth was rending; she felt as small as a lone boat on a vast ocean.

”Mm... ah~”

Huo Zhi’s entire body felt as if struck by lightning. Her body swayed, and she almost knelt down.

If her cultivation hadn’t reached the Dou Zun level, making her far, far stronger than Xiao Ting, she would have collapsed by now.

But even so, the gaze she directed at Xiao Ting carried a strange look. At this moment, she could completely understand the Red Lotus Karma Fire’s obedience.

That was a crushing suppression on a completely different level!

”Alright.”

”I’ve played enough.”

”Take it back.”

After dozens of breaths, Xiao Ting waved his hand and threw the Red Lotus Karma Fire back to Huo Zhi.

In this wave, he not only allowed the Purple Heaven Flame to obtain the special abilities of the Red Lotus Karma Fire but also took the opportunity to divide about one-tenth of its energy to create a seed flame.

Once Huo Zhi was gone, he would give the Red Lotus Karma Fire seed flame to Xun’er, letting her go to the Black-Corner Region specifically to find and devour the souls of powerful villains for cultivation. Once it grew, it could be devoured to evolve the Burning Technique.

This treatment certainly couldn’t be given to Xiao Yan.

”It seems to be missing something.”

Huo Zhi took back the Red Lotus Karma Fire and immediately sensed a clear deficiency within it.

”After being played with by me, something has to be left behind. You didn’t really think it was just for a bit of fun, did you?” Xiao Ting said righteously: ”Could it be that Miss Huo Zhi can’t afford to lose, or can’t afford to play?”

”Hmph, how could this lady not afford to lose?” Combining the contents of the Diary, Huo Zhi had already roughly guessed what Xiao Ting had done. While she envied Xun’er, she didn’t really mind.

The core of the Red Lotus Karma Fire hadn’t been harmed. The slight depletion could be replenished once she returned to the Central Plains and found a few villains who practiced dark-attribute techniques to devour.

”Miss Huo Zhi is magnanimous.” Xiao Ting raised his hand and gestured toward the door: ”Next, Xun’er and I have private matters to discuss. Shouldn’t Miss Huo Zhi give us some private space?”

”Who cares about listening to what you talk about?” Huo Zhi blew at her veil. The space around her distorted, and her beautiful figure instantly vanished.

Seeing this, Xiao Ting led the giggling Xun’er into the room, then released the Purple Heaven Flame to form a barrier.

Huo Zhi, who was secretly peeping: ”...”

[Huo Zhi]: This is big. Xiao Ting took Xun’er into the room to be alone and even set up a barrier with the Purple Heaven Flame.

[Xun’er]: You really were peeping. Brother Xiao Ting was right.

[Huo Zhi]: I’m afraid you’ll do something irrational that you’ll regret for the rest of your life.

[Xun’er]: I’m starting to regret coming up with the idea of being best friends with you to help you.

[Yao Ling]: Exactly, you should have chosen me.

[Cao Ying]: You won’t do; you don’t fit the persona. Your Medicine Clan looks down on the Gu Clan. How could you look up to the daughter of the Gu Clan’s patriarch who was raised outside since childhood? Uncle Gu Yuan doesn’t have only Sister Xun’er as a daughter. Unless she was tested with a Divine Grade Bloodline, you might have thought better of her.

[Yao Ling]: Don’t go too far. Aren’t you afraid I’ll teach you a lesson?

[Cao Ying]: Heh, my master is Xiao Ting!
