Chapter 126: Pretending to be Cute

Xiao Xu looked at the candy that Gu Xun'er brought out to tempt him, and he smirked inwardly. He couldn't help but say, "Is that it? Do you really think I'm a child? Trying to entice me with candy? How naive, it's simply impossible."

With his hands crossed, he wore an expression of pride, slightly domineering, but on his youthful face, cuteness prevailed.

Adorable!

Xiao Xu said, "Big Sister, I won't betray my master for a few pieces of candy."

"Really?"

Seeing the little one's seriousness, Gu Xun'er was momentarily stunned, thinking, "What a cute little creature!"

In Gu Xun'er's opinion, no little one could resist the temptation of candy.

Not even the current little one.

If they could, it simply meant that there wasn't enough candy.

With this thought, Gu Xun'er continued her actions, taking out a pile of candy from her storage ring and said, "Little cutie, all these candies are for you. Please, tell sister who your master is."

Gu Xun'er had emptied her entire collection, creating a small mound over 20 centimeters high and wide.

Looking at the pile of candy before him, Xiao Xu shook his head and said, "Is that it?"

"No!"

Gu Xun'er exclaimed, "Little cutie, these are all my possessions, and I'm giving them all to you. Please, tell sister who your master is, okay?"

As she spoke, she looked expectantly at him.

She couldn't help but pinch Xiao Xu's little face, finding it very squishy, soft, and comforting.

Xiao Xu crossed his hands and said earnestly, "You think I would betray my master just for these candies? My master is someone even more important than my parents."

Xiao Xu spoke with conviction, and Gu Xun'er, seeing his determination, was ready to give up. It seemed almost impossible to extract information about his master from this little one's mouth.

Gu Xun'er was about to give up, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xu's words took a sudden turn, presenting a new opportunity.

Xiao Xu said, "However... if you're willing to add something else to the mix."

"It's possible for me to tell you who my master is."

Initially, Gu Xun'er had no hope left, but upon hearing Xiao Xu's words, her eyes brightened and she asked, "Little cutie, what do you want?"

"Is it more candy? Don't worry, once you tell me, I'll find a way to get even more candy for you when I go out."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu shook his head seriously and said, "Mere candy is not enough to capture my interest."

"No candy?" Gu Xun'er questioned, puzzled.

If not candy, then what did he want?

Gu Xun'er asked, "Little cutie, if not candy, what do you want?"

"Besides candy, there's nothing else on sister's possession."

Xiao Xu shook his head and said, "Sister, you do have it. You have the food that suits me."

"As long as sister gives me that thing, I'll tell sister the question she wants to know."

"Food?" Gu Xun'er was confused by his words.

Food?

Was there something other than candy on her body? It seemed like there wasn't, right?

No one knew better than her what was on her body.

Xiao Xu said earnestly, "Yes, sister, you have it."

Xiao Xu had already detected its scent coming from her body.

It smelled so delicious.

"Hmm?"

"Do I have it?" Gu Xun'er was puzzled and even smelled herself.

It was strange.

She didn't smell anything.

Gu Xun'er asked, "Little cutie, why can't sister smell it?"

Xiao Xu explained, "Because it's hidden very deep, so it's normal that sister can't smell it."

"Does sister want to exchange?"

Gu Xun'er asked, "Little cutie, how can sister exchange something she can't even find?"

Food?

The food in the little one's mouth was definitely not something important, but she couldn't sense it at all.

She did want to make the exchange.

But how?

What should she exchange?

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "As long as sister agrees to the exchange, it doesn't matter if sister can't find it. It's enough that I can find it."

"Good!"

Gu Xun'er nodded in agreement. There was no problem now. She said, "I agree to the exchange. Now, can you tell me who Xiao Xu's owner is?"

Instead of answering Gu Xun'er's question, Xiao Xu said crisply, "Sister, let me first take my food out of your body and eat it, then I will tell you."

"Huh?"

"From my body?"

Gu Xun'er was completely confused when she heard Xiao Xu's words. What could be inside her body? What kind of food? She had no idea.

Just as Gu Xun'er was baffled, Xiao Xu pointed towards the center of her forehead, and the seal placed on her Dou Di bloodline by Hun Tiandi began to loosen.

"This..."

Gu Xun'er sensed the flow of her Dou Di bloodline in her body and was stunned for a moment, then delighted.

The seal that Hun Tiandi had imposed on her had been broken.

Her Dou Di bloodline had returned.

But before Gu Xun'er could even feel happy about it, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame within her Dou Di bloodline started to stir restlessly.

Uncontrollable, it surfaced on Gu Xun'er's body. Eventually, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame completely separate from her body.

"Pu-chi..."

As Xiao Xu extracted the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame from Gu Xun'er's body, she let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame fell into Xiao Xu's hands, and he played with it, just like a child receiving a beloved toy.

"This..."

Gu Xun'er was completely dumbfounded seeing her Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame being toyed with in Xiao Xu's hands.

This was the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, even if it was just a fragment. The power of its flames was quite terrifying.

But it was suppressed.

This Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, like a toy, was being played with by a little kid. Who was this little one? What kind of creature?

Gu Xun'er was already shocked, but what happened next in her eyes was even more astonishing.

Xiao Xu actually put the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame directly into his mouth and swallowed it completely.

"This kid..."

Gu Xun'er's heart trembled with disbelief. The other party had eaten the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame as if it were nothing.

At that moment, as smart as Gu Xun'er was, she finally woke up to the realization that the so-called "food" in the little one's mouth was none other than her Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame!

This little one could actually devour the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame raw, without the need for refinement, without any consequences.

Moreover, he could remove the seal imposed on Gu Xun'er by Hun Xiu, which meant this little one was not an ordinary person.

Perhaps he was an old monster among the Soul Clan.

"I underestimated him."

"I was too careless."

"I thought I was dealing with a little cutie, but now it seems... the other party is likely a formidable old monster."

"What kind of place is this? Who is this old monster? Why is he pretending to be innocent? What are his intentions?"
