What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)
Chapter 49: Forever

Evolving through devouring Heavenly Flame?!

Upon hearing Yao Chen’s words, Xiao Yan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Xiao Yan vividly remembered that Yao Chen had told him that she had gone through countless hardships and barely succeeded in absorbing the Bone Chilling Flame back then, nearly losing her life in the process.

However, practicing this Flame Mantra Technique meant experiencing several life-threatening situations to evolve the technique even further?

Xiao Yan couldn’t help but reveal a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

The Heaven Tier technique did indeed sound enticing, even for Xiao Yan, it was hard to resist the temptation.

But the process was undeniably dangerous.

However, the most crucial issue was that Xiao Yan had no reason to take such life-threatening risks, and he was well aware of this fact.

However, deep down, Xiao Yan also vaguely understood that practicing the Flame Mantra Technique was not important for himself, but it was crucial for Yao Chen.

Otherwise, Yao Chen wouldn’t have mentioned this technique to him.

Since that was the case, Xiao Yan didn’t need to hesitate.

“Senior Yao,” Xiao Yan clasped his fists and solemnly bowed to Yao Chen, “Disciple is willing to practice the Flame Mantra Technique.”

!!!!!!!!

Xiao Yan’s words stunned Yao Chen, and the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.

She believed that given Xiao Yan’s character, there was a high possibility that he would practice the Flame Mantra Technique for her sake.

But Yao Chen never expected that Xiao Yan would agree without fully understanding the pros and cons.

“Xiao Yan?! Aren’t you going to reconsider?” Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment, her tone becoming somewhat urgent. “The matter of techniques is crucial for your early cultivation, and the chances of successfully practicing this Flame Mantra Technique, according to my estimation, are less than twenty percent! It also constantly poses a life-threatening danger!”

Practicing the Flame Mantra Technique meant enduring the pain and danger of absorbing Heavenly Flame multiple times in the future! Xiao Yan himself couldn’t be unaware of this fact!

Looking at Yao Chen’s anxious face in mid-air, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. A gentle expression appeared on his face as he spoke softly yet resolutely.

“Senior Yao, do you need your disciple to practice the Flame Mantra Technique?”

“The grace of a dripping water must be reciprocated by gushing springs, not to mention that Senior Yao, you have helped me and the Xiao Clan countless times before. As my current abilities are inadequate, the only means I have to repay your kindness is to fulfill this wish of yours.”

“Therefore, the matter of practicing the Flame Mantra Technique is an obligation for Xiao Yan! No matter how arduous and dangerous the road ahead may be, your disciple will do everything in his power to continue on!”

In Yao Chen’s dazed gaze, Xiao Yan knelt on both knees, clasping his fists and speaking sincerely.

“I am your disciple, and you are my mentor. This is a matter of course!”

As Yao Chen slowly snapped back to her senses, she saw Xiao Yan kneeling before her.

His eyes became moist involuntarily.

Yes… Xiao Yan is such a person.

He always follows the right path, adheres to it, and he knows better than anyone else how difficult his journey is.

Yet Xiao Yan continues to move forward without hesitation.

Practicing the Flame Mantra Technique will undoubtedly make his already difficult path even more arduous.

But so what?

If he doesn’t repay this debt, Xiao Yan’s path of righteousness will become meaningless! Even Xiao Yan himself would look down on himself!

In his heart, there is absolutely no regret for this decision!

“It’s really… get up quickly!” Yao Chen waved her hand, a bit annoyed, and stared at Xiao Yan, saying, “How dare you make me shed tears, you silly disciple, you’re really too much. It seems that I’ll have to find an opportunity to teach you a lesson later!”

“I hope Senior Yao will go easy on me.”

Xiao Yan smiled lightly, slowly stood up, and Yao Chen gradually calmed down her excited heart, looking at Xiao Yan seriously, she said.

“Although you have agreed to practice the Flame Mantra Technique, I still need to make it clear to you why I want you to practice it.”

“Please go ahead, Senior Yao.”

Xiao Yan nodded seriously, and then saw Yao Chen pointing to her ethereal body and saying.

“According to normal circumstances, in fact, I died a long time ago, but because my soul power is much stronger than an ordinary person’s, I can temporarily remain in this state in the world.”

“If I had died clearly back then, let alone this wretched appearance, even if I completely dissipated, I would have no complaints.”

“However, there are still unresolved doubts lingering in my heart, so I must leave this spiritual state and personally resolve the regrets of the past!”

Listening to Yao Chen’s words, Xiao Yan keenly sensed the deep-seated anger and mixed sorrow hidden in Yao Chen’s eyes, and he also understood Yao Chen’s meaning.

“Are you saying… you want to be reincarnated back to the living world?”

Xiao Yan furrowed his brows slightly.

He had never heard of such a thing as being reborn after death, at least not within his knowledge. But since Yao Chen said so, there must be a reason for it. Xiao Yan immediately had a guess in his mind.

“And the Flame Mantra Technique can achieve this?”

“That’s right!” Yao Chen affirmed excitedly, “According to the records of the technique, when the Flame Mantra Technique is practiced to the highest level, it can create a body that can accommodate the soul, which means I can completely revive with this body!”

However, after the brief excitement, Yao Chen gradually calmed down and said with a serious face.

“However, although it is recorded in the technique, we cannot guarantee that it is true. After all, there are no successful examples of this technique. In my heart, I also have a half-believing and half-doubting attitude towards it, but…”

“The method that can allow you to be reborn after death may only be this one, right?” Xiao Yan interjected, then clenched his fist, “For both me and you, this possibility is already enough!”

“For the sake of my master, Xiao Yan, what harm is there in taking a gamble? Moreover, if we don’t go all the way, we will never know the result!”

Xiao Yan grinned, a look of determination and vigor on his face!

Although he pursued the righteous path, a smooth-sailing life was never what Xiao Yan had in mind!

Rather, pursuing the righteous path was not only about realizing his own ideals but also about enjoying the arduous and extraordinary journey of struggle!

As long as it was something he pursued in his heart, the more difficult it was to accomplish, the more Xiao Yan felt that he was truly alive!

Seeing Xiao Yan’s expression, which was completely different from his usual mature and steady demeanor, Yao Chen also smiled.

At times like yesterday’s New Year, this was the real Xiao Yan. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Yao Chen silently watched Xiao Yan, her gaze growing more satisfied, and she had made up his mind.

Regardless of whether Xiao Yan can ultimately succeed in creating a body for himself, Yao Chen will support him wholeheartedly, without holding back.

Until when?

Hm….

Forever.
