Wait... Is There An Oven In This World?

The tournament went on for hours and as expected by Ling Han, the people to fight for the top 2 spots were Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran. these two went on to reach the highest with their islands currently fused, they were locked in battle

But it was clear Xiao Yan was toying with Nalan Yanran. With the resources the sect had been giving him, plus the fact he had the means to bring out 100% of the resources, he had exploded in strength in these past few months and was already at level 10 Houtian. although everyone who joined the sect had first to cripple their cultivation and rebuild it from the ground up, Xiao Yan was able to do it at crazy fast speed.

meanwhile, Nalan Yanran was only at level 7 Houtian, she was no match for Xiao Yan. She was strong and had combat strength at level 9 Houtian, but it was impossible for her to win compared to Xiao Yan, who had combat strength at level 2 Xiantian. She knew this, but she didn't give up.

Nalan Yanran wasn't fighting for first place, but instead showing Ling Han someone willing to do anything to reach the peak of cultivation. So, with a battle cry, she shot toward Xiao Yan who easily backhanded her away. a blow which knocked all of the teeth out of her mouth, 

"How does it feel? After everything, and now you kneel before me." Xiao Yan said with a chilling look. The killing was allowed, but if believed to be unreasonable killing, the person who killed the other party would be punished heavily.

"You're still the same as before. no matter what you do or how you act you are the same." Nalan Yanran said while getting up, although blood ran down her face nonstop, she ignored it all while getting ready for round two. 

Xiao Yan's face twisted at her words, he stepped forward to attack her, but he had stepped into Nalan Yanran's plan. when a person is swallowed in rage, it is easier to guess and even control their actions. right now, Xiao Yan wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone before killing her. With that in mind, it was clear what he would do and how he could move.

He would want to destroy her, and attacking her straightforwardly while she was fully aware of his next move was the perfect way to do such things. She watched as he reached forward, his palm covered in flames as he tried to grab her face. he wanted to destroy her beauty.

She quickly moved, kicking his leg while at the same time drawing out everything she had, she grabbed his arm and tried to flip him over. if he left the arena, she would win. she let out a cry, enduring the pain of her flesh melting from simply touching him, and with everything she had, she managed to pick him up and threw him forward into the air.

She fell to her legs weakly as she watched Xiao Yan fall towards the edge of the island. Xiao Yan was stunned, to say the least, he was caught off guard by such a reckless action. but he acted quickly, and at the cost of a good amount of his Qi, flames gathered at his feet before they shot out, allowing him to float in the air. 

"So strong... yet look at you. I wish things had gone differently. maybe your arms and legs with your cultivation... I lost the battle, but it's clear I have defeated you." Nalan Yanran said with a weak smile which was filled with mockery. Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, is this considered revenge when the other party was still so smug?

"I surr..." Before Nalan Yanran could surrender, XIan Yan disappeared, and his leg slammed into her neck, shattering her capability to speak. Nalan Yanran held her neck as more blood ran down from her mouth. 

Xiao Yan reached down and picked her up by the hair. he expected to see regret, rage, or something like that. but all he saw was a mocking look with a hint of a smile while looking at him. his rage only grew, before his palm exploded with flames that swallowed Nalan Yanran. her hair wasn't damaged, but her flesh was burned, and her pained cries sounded, leaving the crowd to look away from such a sight.

"Enough!" An adorable voice sounded in the air filled with the broken cries of Nalan Yanran. At Ling Han's words, Xiao Yan looked towards where Ling Han sat looking at the match. the elder who stood at the side quickly moved, taking Nalan Yanran away from Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was stunned and watched as the elder went on to heal Nalan Yanran and bring her back from the blink of death before giving her to a doctor who took her away. after he went to Ling Han's side, while Ling Han went on to speak into his ear.

"Xiao Yan, your action has disgusted the crown prince. to use the first-ever tournament held by the One True Supreme Sect as a means to get revenge, and to do it to a fellow sect disciple of the same sect, just what do you think this sect to be?" The Elder's voice booms, stunning everyone including Xiao Yan.

"Yeah, the crown prince is so young, yet to show him such a sight. How would he sleep at night!" Someone yelled hatefully, which set off a float of everyone yelling at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked around, stunned by how everyone was yelling at him... he wasn't the only one to kill in this tournament, hell others had done worse. someone had his eyes dug out, someone was cut in half from head toes... yet why did his action stand out about everyone else?

'...' Xiao Yan's mind raced for a moment to find an answer, but it only took a moment before he realized something. didn't around a year ago Ling Han appear within his village? Did he and Nalan Yanran meet? He had heard some people saying the crown prince and Nalan Yanran had met at the sect a few months ago, could that have been true?

Was Ling Han protecting Nalan yanran? but why? Did Ling Han know of her pure dragon bloodline? did Ling Han know of her unique physique?

Xiao Yan looked towards where Ling Han sat and saw him lazily looking at everything that was happening.

"Young master... if I may, why are you targeting him?" Ling Mei asked, as Ling Han's maid she had 3 jobs. the first was to the handle the simple things around Ling Han's life, remove possible annoyance, and lastly report to Fan Ye. Fan Ye feared Ling Han would grow arrogant and become some young master, so this was a way for her to watch and keep Ling Han from that path.

"thats not for you to know... at least, not now," I said with a bored yawn, I was getting sleepy. well, with everything here done, I should head off to take a nap before meeting with Nalan Yanran. 

"You are hereby disqualified from the tournament, go and reflect on your actions... as for the winner, it is Nalan Yanran." Xiao Yan almost exploded in rage hearing the elder announce this. it all now made sense why Nalan Yanran had that smirk, she wanted him to be ruthless and push things. She might have not even surrendered when he kicked her neck, it was all an act... he failed again.

"That bitch..." he glared towards the crown prince, he now had a new enemy. to think one of them wasn't even 2 years old. he left without saying anything. anymore and he would just be embarrassing himself. the prince's ability to control people was too powerful, how could he convince anyone to side with him...

"Well, you put on a good show... but what makes you think I would have a badly damaged hard-to-look thing like yourself." Sitting before the badly burnt, coal-black-skinned Nalan Yanran, Ling Han asked lazily.

"... I don't. I'm putting everything on the line here." Nalan Yanran said weakly, her voice was hard to hear as her neck had been crushed. but Ling Han's senses were sharp, so he could of course hear her.

"Let's see... after trying to realize everything you had to defeat Xiao Yan wasn't enough, you turned your attention towards the pawns you had drawn to your side the past few months. those fools in love with you were to go through heaven and earth to get revenge on your behalf. you even laid things out perfectly that as Xiao Yan slaughtered them all, he would at some point clash with the royal family. you planned to have me still avenge you without knowing it." I said with a smile, this woman could scheme, 

Let's look back a few months ago, Nalan Yanran Deep down knew she would not be a match for Xiao Yan. so she started to use her beauty to get people wrapped around her finger. these people came on their own, wanting to know if Nalan Yanran had spoken with Ling Han. but over time, Nalan Yanran played the act of some shy, pure, and innocent girl to win over all their hearts. of course, mainly the males. to say the least, they were all of high backgrounds.

they were all in love with her, and Nalan Yanran even went as far as to trick them all into making an oath. telling them a story of how some guy she once loved had tricked her into taking everything she had, and how she was too scared to ever love again. so, they foolishly made oaths to always love Nalan Yanran and never break her heart.

So, when she had her face crippled... well, they had to love her. even if they didn't want to, they had to love her while aiming their rage all at Xiao Yan. plus, the way Nalan Yanran was speaking throughout the match made them realize that Xiao Yan was the guy who broke her heart and took everything from her. By now, everyone knew the story of Xiao Yan. The man who used Nalan Yanran and stole everything she had and left her with nothing but the trauma that made it so she couldn't love again. this only made everyone hate Xiao Yan even more.

"I love your mind, as of this moment you will be my shield. as a shield, it's up to you to see everything ahead of time and move to block it for me. Do you agree?" I asked while standing up, Nalan Yanran was stunned for a moment, but she quickly spoke.

"y-yes." She said weakly before she froze. the pain that swallowed her whole body had just disappeared, leaving her too stunned for words. her eyeballs which had melted had returned, allowing her to look around and see that she had recovered back to 100%

"One thing before I leave... scheme using my family is no longer allowed. as well as using me. do you understand?" I asked calmly, to which Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, 

"Ling Mei would show you around the way to be a bodyguard and other stuff. I'm going to sleep." I said with a yawn, leaving Nalan Yanran with Ling Mei. I disappeared, stunning Nalan Yanran, but when I appeared in my room I was met with my father.

"What?" I asked only to see him pull out a few souls of some powerful immortals, I sighed softly. I had given him the location of powerful immortals who managed to come to the Lowe realm and die. although it was rare for such a thing to happen, those truly powerful immortals were capable of making a passageway between the immortal realm and the lower realm and coming down here. 

"didn't you get over this I want to sleep all day phase?" He asked in confusion to which I shrugged while bringing the souls of immortals back to life.

"There is nothing to do. Sleep will help me pass the time and grow bigger and stronger. Plus, I set it to so that my cultivation grows faster the older and bigger I get, and so on." I said with a yawn, making Ling Fang look at me blankly

"can't you also do it to make it so that you grow stronger the less sleep you get? can you also do it so you get stronger after having a balanced sleep and being up?" He asked, to which I ignored while looking at the immortals I had brought back to life.

"Sigh, after shooting you in the oven for 1,000 years. I had a fear that you would come out with 3 heads, 4 arms, or something... yet to think you came out lazy." Ling Fang said, making both me and the immortals look at him with a blank look.

"... I'm telling Mom," I said calmly, making Ling Fang freeze slightly. he wanted to speak, but a hand suddenly grabbed his head

"you're still going around thinking you're funny? and to talk like that before my son." Fan Ye said coldly,

"I-it was a joke." Ling Fang said weakly. he was just joking, plus the main reason Ling Han could be born was because of his magical little brother. luckily for the world, he only married one woman, what would happen if he had a harem? the world should be thanking him for saving them from freaks...

"I should be thanking you?" Fan Ye's hold of Ling Fang's head grew tighter, making Ling Fang freeze at the power behind Fan Ye's hand... how was she so powerful? how did she hear his thoughts?

"wow, you master the energy to such a level," I said softly, my mother has been training to master the changes to her energy. although I could gift them bits of the techniques and abilities I had, it's up to them to master them.

my mother seemed to have ignored the techniques and instead focused on mastering the energy, allowing her to gain the power to do just anything she could picture. She had even copied me and had formed marks into her inner world, and her blood was currently golden. if I had to say how strong she was, then it should be peak Loose Immortal. My father whose strength was at Mid Loose Immortal also known as Lesser Loose Immortal. He was of course no match for her.

"... Oh, little Han. you take a nap. I have to go speak with your father about his little mouth problem." Fan Ye said with a smile, before teleporting away along with the immortals. My father did have a thing with his mouth, when he is relaxed, he speaks without thinking. this leads to many problems.

the main reason behind Fan Ye's rage at the moment was that she didn't want Ling Han to go around talking without thinking. plus, she was even more enraged with what came out of his mouth right now, who was the Oven?
