Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi flew away controlling the air, just about to exit the volcano.

Suddenly, there was a snap.

Xiao Yi distinctly felt something hanging onto his foot.

In confusion, he glanced down, and was momentarily stunned.

The little girl had actually clung onto his leg.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yi asked in puzzlement.

"Hu...human." The little girl looked at Xiao Yi with lingering fear.

"I...I can sense that you have no malicious intent." The little girl paused, suddenly suppressing the fear on her face.

Then she sniffed Xiao Yi's body, as if indulging in it.

"Your aura smells really nice too."

"Get away, go back to eat your starlight." Xiao Yi's voice was icy.

"No...ah..." The little girl shook her head, suddenly showing a painful expression.

In the next second, that painful expression turned into cries, sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Pain...so painful...my stomach hurts."

"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned, sensed something, and suddenly understood.

"Hmph, you dare eat my Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, no wonder it hurts."

In extreme pain, the little girl suddenly let go of her grasp, falling straight down from mid-air.

"Hey." Xiao Yi was shocked, just about to make a move but stopped in his tracks.

He really didn't want to feel that strange inexplicable sensation in his heart again.

Below, the little girl was falling straight down, and at the very bottom, was the scorching molten lava.

"Damn." Xiao Yi frowned in hesitation.

After a while, Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, "Forget it, I refuse to believe my Sword Dao, honed to such a level, can't resist your mere aura's temptation."

Zoom... Xiao Yi made a swift movement, descending instantly.

Just in time to catch the little girl before she fell into the molten lava.

Xiao Yi stood firmly on the molten lava.

The little girl in his arms still crying out.

"Bear with it for a bit." Xiao Yi thoughtfully spoke, placing his strong palm on the little girl's abdomen.

"Disperse for me."

He was clearly sensing that the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame within the little girl's abdomen was running wild.

Logically, with just a thought, he could dispel these Purple Crystal Spirit Flames.

However, as his words fell, that Purple Crystal Spirit Flame showed no reaction.

"Hm? It isolated my fire control ability?" Xiao Yi furrowed his eyebrows.

He knew very well that with his skill, controlling the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame to dissipate was easily done.

But now, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame showed no response and continued to run wild, proving he had not managed to control the fire within the little girl's abdomen.

Xiao Yi sensed again, noting a layer of inexplicable flame aura on the little girl's body.

It was this flame aura that isolated his fire control ability.

"A prohibition barrier?" Xiao Yi frowned.

To isolate and even ignore his fire control techniques, unless sensing specifically, he couldn't detect this barrier at all.

Then, this barrier was indeed not ordinary.

But this wouldn't be difficult for him.

If it were barriers of other attributes, perhaps he would find it tricky.

But this flame barrier was inherently just a method of flame.

Regarding fire control, Xiao Yi had enough confidence in himself.

"Break." Xiao Yi shouted, forcibly dispelling this barrier.

With a puff...a sound of aura dissipating echoed.

The flame barrier dissipated instantly.

"Disperse." Xiao Yi shouted again.

With the flame barrier gone, Xiao Yi easily dispersed the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame within the little girl.

After a while, the little girl stopped crying in pain and returned to normal.

Just as she recovered, the little girl again sniffed Xiao Yi with fascination.

"Human, your aura smells really nice, you must have lots of delicious things on you."

"Fire?" Xiao Yi asked instinctively.

The little girl nodded, "Yes."

Bang... bang... bang...

Xiao Yi waved his big hand, and flames appeared out of thin air.

"Purple, blue, gold, red, cyan-white, wow, so many." The little girl widened her eyes, full of joy.

"Which one do you want to eat?" Xiao Yi asked with a light smile.

The little girl looked at the flames in front of her and thought for a bit.

Glancing at the purple flames, she retracted her head.

Looking at the golden flames, she pouted.

Looking at the red fire demon, she was full of curiosity.

Looking at the cyan-white flames, she unconsciously stepped back a few steps.

Finally, her gaze settled on the blue flames.

"This one." The little girl pointed at the blue flames, licking her lips.

"Star Fire?" Xiao Yi chuckled, waving his hand to disperse the other flames, leaving only the Star Fire.

"You can eat it if you want, but first tell me, what are you?"

"I'm not some thing." The little girl shook her head, still gazing intently at the Star Fire.

"You're not human, are you a demon beast?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Certainly not." The little girl shook her head, "I'm from the Fire Clan, um..."

The little girl paused, showing confusion.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, "Never mind, eat up."

The little girl immediately shed her worries, munching on the Star Fire.

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, if he guessed correctly, this little girl probably didn't know how to explain it.

By her appearance, she's only around 5 or 6 years old.

Her fiery red attire making her look rather cute and mischievous.

Additionally, Xiao Yi had a rough guess.

In this world, being neither human nor demon, the remaining possibility would be some strange being born from heaven and earth.

This Fire Clan might be just that.

"What's your name?" Xiao Yi asked again.

"Name?" The little girl pondered while eating Star Fire, then shook her head.

"I haven't reached the age to have a name, but my mom and dad call me Little Five."

"Little Five?" Xiao Yi was surprised, "You have parents?"

If it's a strange entity, it should be born of heaven and earth, with heaven and earth as its parents.

"Of course." The little girl replied crisply, giving Xiao Yi a sideways glance.

"Without parents, how could I be born."

"Were you birthed from a rock?"

"Where are your parents?" Xiao Yi pursued.

In fact, he was very interested in these strange beings.

Training and honing wasn't just about improving skills but also expanding knowledge.

The world is vast and full of wonders.

"My parents..." The little girl shook her head, "I don't know."

Then she buried herself in eating again.

Xiao Yi contemplated, his eyes suddenly brightening.

"Likes eating flames, I vaguely recall some record in an Ancient Scroll."

"In Ancient Times, it seems there were some strange beings born from the flames of heaven and earth."

"Taking fire as body and food, born from the Heaven and Earth Essence Fire, thus possessing a pure, untainted aura."

The little girl, also called Little Five, thought for a moment, "I heard from my parents that our Fire Clan ancestors sprang from flames."

"I see." Xiao Yi realized suddenly.

If his guess was right, when he descended with five thousand starlight power, the starlight power inherently carried a fire attribute.

Thus, it attracted the little girl from the Fire Clan.

However, starlight power isn't truly Star Illusion Fire, just a thread of starlight power.

Whereas, actual worldly powerful flames like Star Fire and Purple Crystal Spirit Flame have a greater allure for the little girl.

"Alright, eat slowly, I'm leaving." Xiao Yi said, waving his hand to form a vast amount of Star Fire.

Just about to depart, suddenly, a fierce aura surged around.

"Hm? What's going on?" Xiao Yi instinctively said.

"There's a demon beast aura, it's demon beasts." Xiao Yi's expression tensed.

Little Five, eating Star Fire, suddenly changed her expression, "It's Fire Swallowing Beast, not good."

"Fire Swallowing Beast?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Before he could understand what kind of demon beast that was, the color had already changed.

"A clear Saint King Realm aura, numbering over a hundred, no, over a thousand... trouble."
