--- Chapter 215 ---
Burning Flame Valley.
After Baek Ain's first successful attempt at a Low-Tier Constellation using the Constellation Nurturing Method, he rested and went outside his given residence.
Baek Ain needs to do his Daily Sign-In anyway. He hasn't quit collecting the Fractured Crown Pieces while attempting the Constellation Nurturing Method. He also got more low-grade Fire God's Crystals and raised his cultivation to 8th Star Dou Saint.
He felt Roulan Constellation brewing inside his soul, slowly moving into a unique pattern. Upon entering their position, Baek Ain felt a jolt from his soul, and everything around him changed instantly.
He couldn't explain it in a short sentence.
This sensation is just like you owned the world, after all. There are small details Baek Ain's senses couldn't discern at first.
On top of that, the Crowned Skills inside the Roulan Constellation have a synergy effect with each other now. For example, if Baek Ain used Soul-Devouring Reaper Steps, other skills would support it, whether the support was in the form of additional effects or enhancements.
Remember, this is a minor synergy from the Low-Tier Constellation's formation. And Baek Ain couldn't imagine how powerful the higher Constellation is.
Fortunately, Baek Ain could slowly raise Roulan Constellation's grade with the help of the Constellation Nurturing Method and better Crowned Skills in the future.
"Husband, is that you?" As Baek Ain walked into the Burning Flame Valley, he didn't notice he had already gone to another courtyard where Luo Bingbing stayed.
Luo Bingbing didn't particularly enjoy hot weather, so Ancestor Huo Yun prepared the coldest residence they had for her. At the same time, he also assigned someone to her.
"Hmm?" Baek Ain narrowed his eyes, seeing a young lady in a red dress serving Luo Bingbing tea.
The young lady is beautiful and has this valiant aura around her. In fact, her beauty is not any less compared to Baek Ain's Disciple-Wives.
The only thing she lacked was a cultivation base and temperament.
"Bingbing, this young lady?" Although Baek Ain had already guessed the young lady's identity, he still asked Luo Bingbing.
Luo Bingbing smiled and replied, "Let me introduce you to the Tang Clan's Heiress, Tang Hou'er. Ancestor Huo Yun begged me for two days to take her as my disciple."
"If I didn't do so, I'm afraid he'd annoy you to accept his little heiress to become your disciple instead. Not to mention, you already accepted three disciples."
"I don't want him to disturb you, so I have no choice but to take the initiative."
Baek Ain put on a wry smile, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Luo Bingbing smiled back. She was happy she could help Baek Ain. "Tang Huo'er, greet your Master's Husband."
Tang Huo'er has been learning Luo Bingbing for two days, and her reality has been turned upside down by her otherworldly knowledge. Even her depression was gone like a fleeting wind within those times. So, it would be a lie if she said she wasn't interested in a man who could bag her master.
There must be something special about this man.
Not only was he handsome, but his scholarly appearance and charm were also irresistible.
'Compared to Stinky Yan Xiao, my Master's Husband is a thousand times better.' Says Tang Huo'er in her head.
With that in mind, Tang Huo'er smiled and bowed to Baek Ain respectfully, "Tang Hou'er greet Master's Husband."
"Mm." Baek Ain responded with a nod.
Since Baek Ain hasn't spread his parasite spores to the Burning Flame Valley, he doesn't know what Tang Huo'er was thinking. If Baek Ain knew, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry in such a situation.
Having a relationship with his disciples alone is already considered taboo and scandalous. So, what about having a relationship with his wife's disciple?
The answer is yes. It would be too chaotic.
Unless. Yes, Unless Luo Bingbing was the one who initiated it.
Luo Bingbing noticed the shine in her disciple's eyes and had planned a few things in her head.
"Where is everyone else?" Baek Ain questioned as he sat down on an ancient rocking chair.
Luo Binging opened her mouth and answered, "They are exploring the Burning Flame Valley. I don't blame them after going through many things in just a few days."
"You didn't go with them?"
Hearing such a question, Luo Bingbing giggled a bit.
"No, I accepted a disciple, so I must train her with the utmost ability."
"Who knows? Maybe she could be the pillar of this lower plane."
Baek Ain was surprised by her words. He didn't expect Tang Huo'er to have such a potential.
Being a pillar for this lower plane means Tang Huo'er has the potential to become a Dou God. Baek Ain sensed Dou God's bloodline from her, which was the only base requirement as he hadn't accounted for her resolve to become stronger.
No, Luo Bingbing already tested Tang Huo'er in that aspect.
"It seems you have fancied this little disciple of yours." Baek Ain smiled at Luo Bingbing.
Luo Bingbing smiled back, "She's decent enough not to make me lose my face in the future."
"What about yours?"
"Me? Well, I have had some success. I just decided to take a breather."
Baek Ain enjoyed the shade under an old tree and yawned, "It's good to be carefree..."
Luo Bingbing and Tang Huo'er helplessly looked at this man and sighed in their hearts. How could you be so handsome while being lazy?
Unknown to them, Baek Ain has spent a lot of energy creating a Low-Tier Constellation, so his nap is well-deserved. The proof of that is that Baek Ain's Parallel Thinking is close to upgrading again.
When he woke from his nap, he rubbed his eyes and found himself still in the ancient rocking chair. There are also two pairs of fair hands massaging his shoulders and legs.
"Lan Rou?" Baek Ain recognized these hands.
"You have returned? Wait, this is a Clone?"
He blinked and felt two Lan Rou. One was messaging his shoulders, and the other was rubbing his legs.
Lan Rou below him smiled and replied, "This is not just a Clone."
"Technically speaking, this is my Six Paths Behemoth's ability that awakened after the Unfinished Samsara." Lan Rou behind him added.
"We are the same person, but from different times."
"No, to be more specific. My ability called the remnant of my existence to the main body."
"This... Is there a backlash for using such an ability?" Baek Ain was worried and curious.
Lan Rou shook her head gently, "The weakness is negligible. As long as the remnant stayed alive, she would possess similar fighting prowess to me."
"If she died, however... I will lose that remnant, including the memory of past events. Of course, I can choose a useless remnant that won't affect me too much, like how I spent a little money on a dress earlier."
Baek Ain was shocked, "Such a strong ability."
"Of course." Lan Rou smiled, feeling a little proud.
"Though, I can only make one Remnant Clone right now."
"What do you think, Ain? Do you want to try a Twin in action?"
A cunning light flashed in Baek Ain's hazel gold eyes as he lifted the Lan Rou below with his legs and kissed her, "You asked for this."
"Don't beg for mercy later."
Two hours later.
Baek Ain looked at Lan Rou and her Remnant Clone in satisfaction, "Twin Action, a dangerous move indeed. I would almost lose if it weren't for Nirvana Touch and Golden Rod."
"I will be back in a moment. Stay on the bed."
Watching Baek Ain vanish into thin air, Lan Rou glanced at her Remnant Clone in exhaustion, "He said that as if we had extra energy to move from this bed..."
"Right..." The Remnant Clone sighed helplessly.
"Ain. He's too strong and so good."
"We shouldn't have told Luo Bingbing to clear the area..."
"Still, why didn't you tell him the truth?"
"The truth of what?" Lan Rou feigned innocence.
The Remnant Clone stared at Lan Rou calmly, "The truth is that you can lose yourself if the Main Body was 'unfortunately' killed."
"And that I'm not from this world's timeline..."
"It doesn't matter." Lan Rou closed her eyes.
"You and I love Ain. That's all that matters."
The Remnant Clone was stunned for a second before giggling in amusement.
"You're right. Loving Ain is all that matters."
...
Meanwhile, Baek Ain returned to the Inner Fire Veins and did his Daily Sign-In.
[Ding! You have Signed to the Inner Fire Veins!]
[You have received the following rewards...]
[39x Fractured Crown Piece(A+), 7x Drop of Vermillion Bird's Impure Blood(S), 2x Fire God's Crystal(Low)]
"Tch, so close." Baek Ain looked at the loots and clicked his tongue.
[Fractured Crown Pieces Owned: 96]
"Four more, and I can get my hand on Fire God's Crystal(High)."
"I can't wait."
