Chapter 310: Emperor Baih’s Pupil

Soochin refused to believe that nothing had happened between the girl and the young man. The only explanation was that she was being threatened. Otherwise, why would she say such things?

Yes! That must be the case!

Having convinced herself, Soochin spoke again, “If you’ve been threatened, just blink. I’ll help you! I’ll take you under my wings. No one will ever touch you again!

“Blink now, and I’ll make this man disappear forever. I’ll take you in as my pupil! You’ll be the only pupil I personally teach!”

A pupil she would personally teach!

The crowd cried out in surprise. It was such a shocking piece of news. The lady was going to teach the girl on her own!

That would make the girl a third-generation disciple of Emperor Baih, a title that everybody coveted.

If they were in Firey’s place, they would blink even if they weren’t threatened. No foster father could be more important.

“You!” Firey bellowed, unable to control her emotions any longer.

Even if she could control it, she didn’t want to. All she wanted was to punch Soochin in the face.

“Firey!” Himmel Soan put a hand on her head.

The girl on the verge of an explosion was immediately suppressed. She was also much calmer. Although angry, she didn’t have that impulse to hit the woman anymore.

“Did the temperature just skyrocket? Why do I feel my skin burning?”

“You feel it, too? I thought it was only me! The feeling only lasted for a split second, and it’s gone now.”

“That’s right. I felt roasted, and it was awful!”

“I thought I was going to be cooked alive! It was so hot!”

“…”

Although Himmel Soan had stopped Firey in time, she still released a little bit of her energy. That wasn’t necessarily a mistake because he wanted the other people to have a taste of her power.

More importantly, he wanted to warn this woman.

His plan worked. Soochin was stunned by the sudden heatwave.

Of course, she sensed it as well. Other people didn’t know where the heat came from, but she did.

She saw everything.

The energy came from the little girl!

The girl seemed to want to release her energy, but the young man had stopped her.

Soochin estimated that if the girl went all out, the two of them might be at the same cultivation level. That was a frightening capability!

Soochin was even more determined to recruit her. As for Himmel Soan, she couldn’t sense any spiritual essence in him. He looked just like any other ordinary man.

She concluded that Firey held Himmel Soan in a special place in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have calmed down at his touch.

“Kiddo, I take back what I said and admit he’s your master. I still have to ask you something. Would you like to be the only pupil I teach in person?” Soochin brought up her offer once more.

Firey’s demonstration had amazed her, and an idea began to form in her head. She felt she had figured out who Firey was and the relationship between her and Himmel Soan.

Everything could be explained if the girl was an essence of nature. She should be the heart of the volcano. Only that could give off so much heat.

Soochin never thought Himmel Soan was old enough to have a daughter, not taking the duo as father and daughter. She was even more certain now.

They weren’t!

Firey was an essence of nature and happened to see Himmel Soan when she first took her human form. That was why they looked so alike.

Once the essence of nature took human form, it would start thinking like a human. If there were no one around, it would cultivate and accumulate knowledge on its own.

However, if someone were around, the essence of nature would consider them to be its parents.

Soochin had read that in books. This was the first time she saw the essence of nature in person.

The essence of nature could learn and cultivate much faster than ordinary human beings. Soochin knew if she could take her in as her disciple, she would become very important to her family.

If her master heard about this, she would become his most important pupil. That was to say, she would become the next Emperor Baih.

Soochin was still dreaming about her future when Firey said, “No!”

“No? Why?!” Soochin was surprised.

Yes!

She hadn’t told the girl who she was yet.

“I’m one of Emperor Baih’s three favorite disciples. If you accept me as your master, he’ll be your grandmaster. You’re going to be my only pupil!

“Are you still going to say no?” Soochin asked confidently.

She didn’t believe the girl would turn her down after she revealed her identity. However, she couldn’t be more wrong.

“Which part don’t you understand? I don’t care who you are. Plus, are you even good enough to teach me?

“How about this? Let’s have a fight. If you win, you can be my master. If you lose, just go back to where you came from.” Firey suddenly came up with the idea.

She never liked this Soochin, but with Himmel Soan present, she couldn’t do anything. But it would be a different story if Soochin accepted her challenge.

She could punch Soochin however she wanted in the battle!
