"Let's hear what you have to say first..."
As the thought crossed his mind, Xiao Ming casually replied.
If it involved some fundamental principles, even though Feng Xianhuang was his junior sister, he wouldn't easily agree to her request.
"Then I'll get straight to the point."
"I've taken a liking to your Chaos True Fire and Heavenly Transformation True Fire. Once you've refined the Heavenly Transformation True Fire, I want to absorb their power to enhance my True Phoenix Fire."
After Xiao Ming finished speaking, Feng Xianhuang got straight to the point.
Her words left Xiao Ming momentarily stunned.
She wanted his Chaos True Fire and Heavenly Transformation True Fire? This junior sister of his sure had a big appetite.
However.
He wasn't some simp from a female-centric world, sacrificing himself to fulfill the goddess's wishes. Even if it meant losing everything, he wouldn't do it.
"Don't misunderstand."
"I'm not trying to take away the essence of your flames, just hoping you can channel your true essence to let me absorb some Rootless Fire."
"This way, although you'll feel a bit weakened, it won't harm your foundation."
"If you're willing, I can offer you compensation."
Seeing Xiao Ming's surprised expression, Feng Xianhuang quickly added.
The ancient phoenix's True Fire could absorb the characteristics of other flames to enhance itself. The Chaos True Fire on Xiao Ming and the newly acquired Heavenly Transformation True Fire were both high-quality flames.
If she could analyze the power characteristics of these flames to enhance herself, the quality of the ancient phoenix's True Fire would reach a new height.
"Ding! The Life Choice System has randomly triggered, allowing the host to make the following choices..."
[Choice 1: Remain indifferent, turn around and leave without acknowledging Feng Xianhuang, maintaining the demeanor of a cold senior brother, and receive a random pill as a reward.]
[Choice 2: Firmly refuse, slap Feng Xianhuang to make her reflect on how she dared to make such a request, and receive a random spiritual treasure as a reward.]
[Choice 3: Take the initiative, agree to Feng Xianhuang's request, and make your own demands, leaving her with no options, and receive a random secret technique as a reward.]
Stolen novel; please report.
[Choice 4: Toy with her, pretend to agree to Feng Xianhuang, then slap her to teach her a lesson, and receive a random formation as a reward.]
As Xiao Ming frowned, the system prompt suddenly sounded, surprising him.
But after a quick glance at the system options, Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.
Among the four options...
Only two seemed somewhat normal.
This darn system might as well be renamed the 'Super Villain Life Choice System.' No matter who it was, it always suggested slapping someone.
Even a super villain isn't as rebellious as this!
Fortunately, he's a relatively normal host, or he could have turned into a major villain.
"System, I choose three!"
Without much thought, Xiao Ming made his choice.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for making a choice, receiving the reward [Soul Spirit Emperor Scripture]."
"The reward has been automatically placed in the system space and can be extracted and inherited once the host completes the choice."
[Soul Spirit Emperor Scripture]: A soul cultivation technique created by the ancestor of the Soul Clan, Soul Heaven Emperor. Cultivating it allows the soul to possess the Soul Devour trait.
When cultivated to its peak, it can condense a Soul Spirit True Seal to reside between heaven and earth. As long as the Soul Spirit True Seal remains, the soul can be immortal.
"A soul cultivation technique?!"
This reward surprised Xiao Ming greatly, as he was currently lacking a soul cultivation technique!
He had been thinking of asking Feng Xianhuang and Jiang Xuanying if they could help him find one, but now he had obtained one.
And it was created by the ancestor of the Soul Clan, its power and utility were self-evident.
With this technique as a foundation.
His soul attack methods would no longer be weak, and he could even summon the Human Emperor Banner from his mind.
As the thought settled, Xiao Ming looked at Feng Xianhuang.
"I can agree to your request, but you must agree to mine as well."
"To be honest, I've been eyeing you for a long time..."
"What did you say?!"
Before Xiao Ming could finish, Feng Xianhuang's face changed dramatically, turning visibly red.
She was only interested in his True Fire, and he was interested in her body?!
And he dared to say it so bluntly, it was simply too much!
"I'm interested in your ancient phoenix True Fire, not your body. Why are you so agitated?!"
Seeing Feng Xianhuang's unstable emotions, Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, feeling a bit speechless.
"Can't you speak more clearly?!"
Feng Xianhuang gritted her teeth, wishing she could whip Xiao Ming.
"You were too agitated to let me finish..."
Xiao Ming didn't bother to argue with her and directly expressed his thoughts.
"You mentioned..."
"Wanting to absorb my Rootless Fire to comprehend my flame characteristics."
"While this method is not impossible, it's too consuming and inefficient. Without doing it a dozen times, it's hard to gain much."
"Why don't we use the dual cultivation method!"
"Not only can it compensate for the loss of one party, but it can also..."
"What did you say?!"
"Dual cultivation?!"
Before Xiao Ming could finish, Feng Xianhuang blushed again.
And this time, she was thoroughly red.
Not just her face, but even her ears, neck, and behind her ears were red, with crimson flames emanating from her body.
He just said he wasn't interested in her body, and now he wanted to dual cultivate with her?!
Indeed!
A man's words are deceitful.
This guy was clearly interested in her body, yet he still wanted to deceive her!
Scumbag!
Unforgivable, they must fight!
As the thought settled, Feng Xianhuang clenched her fists, clearly ready to strike.
"Damn, I meant flame dual cultivation. What were you thinking? Are you really going to fight me?!"
Seeing Feng Xianhuang about to make a move, Xiao Ming shouted in frustration, causing Feng Xianhuang to pause.
"Flame dual cultivation?"
Feng Xianhuang frowned slightly.
She then remembered that two cultivators with different flames could indeed engage in an alternative form of dual cultivation.
This type of dual cultivation didn't require physical contact, just the separation of a strand of the original flame, controlled by the owner, to merge the flames.
However, different flames often had severe repulsion.
When they met, they either clashed fiercely or tried to devour each other, making peaceful merging difficult.
Unless both parties had extremely refined flame control, it was akin to playing with fire.
If she could engage in flame dual cultivation with Xiao Ming, allowing their flames to merge, it would indeed be much more effective than absorbing Rootless Fire for comprehension.
But if that's the case...
She still felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, flame dual cultivation was considered a very intimate act among flame cultivators.
"What?"
"Didn't you want to understand my flame characteristics? This is the most direct and effective method. Of course, if you're scared, then forget it."
Seeing Feng Xianhuang's changing expression, Xiao Ming shrugged indifferently.
After all, once he made this request, the [Soul Spirit Emperor Scripture] was already his.
As for whether Feng Xianhuang would agree, Xiao Ming wasn't particularly concerned.
