Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Huo Liuli: I Choose Xiao Zhan

"Are you... hello?"

Xiao Zhan greeted everyone with extreme awkwardness, feeling like they were about to devour him.

"Wife, what’s going on with them?"

Xiao Zhan communicated with Ye Youlong through their Spiritual Sea.

He felt really uneasy being watched by so many people.

"You just had nine golden flowers appear on you, and then those turned red and merged with the one on the altar into a single flower before entering your body. Didn’t you feel it?"

"I didn’t feel anything, I don’t know about any golden flowers. I just felt like I was absorbing energy really smoothly, at least ten thousand times smoother than before, maybe even more."

Xiao Zhan was utterly confused. He had actually conjured nine golden flowers that turned red?

And then they merged?

Was he really that incredible?

He started to doubt the reality of the situation, but judging by the expressions of the people around him, it probably wasn’t far from the truth.

But Xiao Zhan didn’t care, what did golden flowers matter to him? They weren’t poker cards to win money with.

The atmosphere gradually settled down, and at this moment, Huo Li walked up to Huo Lingjun in the stands.

"Clan Leader, isn’t it time for the Contract?"

As a junior, he shouldn’t be so eager and forward in asking.

But seeing Huo Lingjun staring intently at Xiao Zhan without even blinking, he became a bit anxious.

Although Xiao Zhan had already signed the Life and Death Contract, which wouldn’t affect him, getting the Contract done sooner meant peace of mind. So to avoid complications down the road, he brought it up himself.

Hearing these words, Huo Lingjun’s body stiffened for a moment, then returned to her senses and shifted her gaze from Xiao Zhan to Huo Li.

Huo Li’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Huo Lingjun’s look. The thing he feared was indeed happening.

The way Huo Lingjun was looking at him now lacked all prior happiness and admiration, replaced by mere indifference.

"Liuli, are you willing to sign the Contract with Huo Li?" Huo Lingjun directed this question to Huo Liuli.

Her tone was very indifferent, as if she already knew what Huo Liuli’s answer would be.

Sure enough, Huo Liuli glanced at Huo Li, then at Xiao Zhan down below, and firmly shook her head, "I am not willing."

At these words, Huo Li immediately panicked.

"Why? Why won’t you enter into a Contract with me?"

Huo Liuli answered calmly, "According to the tribe’s rules, if there is someone with more golden flowers than you, I can choose between you and the person with the most flowers."

Having the most golden flowers meant having the absolute choice of the Holy Fire.

Huo Li was the joint choice of the Holy Fire and the tribe.

One represented absolute martial might, while the other represented a combination of martial power and intelligence.

Normally, because of different acknowledgements of strength, no one would have more golden flowers than Huo Li. Therefore, the rule mentioned by Huo Liuli was almost never applied.

However, the arrival of Xiao Zhan broke this unwritten rule, giving Huo Liuli the right to make a choice.

Compared to Huo Li’s six golden flowers, Huo Liuli naturally preferred Xiao Zhan, who bore the unprecedented ten Blood Red Flowers!

Because she was the Holy Daughter, she also carried the responsibility of making the Earthfire Tribe stronger!

Her decision was primarily for the sake of the tribe!

Of course, she was also curious why the Holy Fire made such a choice—after all, Xiao Zhan had already signed a Contract, a Life and Death Contract at that?

The Sacred Flame did so without any apparent reason.

But after some thought, she decided that if the Sacred Flame had made that choice, there must be a good reason for it.

So, after hesitating, she still chose Xiao Zhan.

After all, choosing Xiao Zhan was not a loss. Even if they couldn’t form a Contract later, she still had other options.

Of course, there was also a subjective factor—she just didn’t feel anything for Huo Li. If she did, she would definitely have chosen him.

She thought so, but Huo Li was visibly agitated. "But Xiao Zhan has already signed a Life and Death Contract with someone else; he can’t form a Contract with you!"

Huo Liuli knew he would ask this and replied, "The Sacred Flame’s choice can’t be wrong."

"But this time the Sacred Flame is wrong!" Huo Li was on the verge of a breakdown.

He couldn’t understand—does Huo Liuli really look down on him this much? Is she so unwilling to form a Contract with him?

If Xiao Zhan had signed a regular Contract, Huo Li could live with that, but the Life and Death Contract was impossible to dissolve.

Choosing him now was just refusing to give up until all hope is lost!

"Enough, you don’t need to say more. I’ve already made my decision." Huo Liuli was strong-willed and determined, not giving Huo Li the slightest chance.

Huo Li was familiar with Huo Liuli’s character.

His expression suddenly turned fierce, "Fine, choosing Xiao Zhan is your right, but I also have my rights. As long as I defeat Xiao Zhan, you can’t form a Contract with him!"

With that said, Huo Li flashed and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Zhan!

"Xiao Zhan, I challenge you to a duel!"

Huo Li pointed at Xiao Zhan, his face filled with intense rage and eyes fiery with burning wrath.

He thought he wouldn’t have to confront Xiao Zhan, but a battle was inevitable!

Xiao Zhan was about to leave with Ye Youlong when Huo Li blocked his way and challenged him to a duel?

He was completely dumbfounded, "Duel with me? Why?"

He didn’t yet understand what those ten flowers meant, so he was baffled as to why Huo Li sought a duel with him.

It was utterly incomprehensible!

But Huo Li was overrun by his emotions and wouldn’t explain much, "Quit your nonsense. If I say duel, we duel. Today, you and I must determine a winner!"

Huo Liuli’s resolute choice only added fuel to his rage, and he threw a punch straight at Xiao Zhan’s face!

The sudden attack left Xiao Zhan completely bewildered.

But confronted with the attack, he wouldn’t just sit back and let it happen; he immediately summoned the Death Demon Scythe, ready to fight.

But just then, Huo Lingjun’s voice suddenly rang out, "Stop!"

Huo Lingjun’s cold command, like the Time Clock, caused Huo Li’s advancing fist to stop dead.

"Clan Leader!"

However, Huo Li was full of rage, frustration, and unwillingness as he looked at Huo Lingjun.

Huo Lingjun knew what he was thinking but ignored him, her gaze lingering on Xiao Zhan, especially inspecting the tattoo on his forehead thoroughly, her eyes filled with confusion.

After a moment, she said, "Xiao Zhan, come with me."

Xiao Zhan frowned, sensing from her demeanor that something serious may have happened.

He glanced at Huo Li, not knowing what had gotten into him, but felt it was necessary to avoid conflict with him for now.

Thus, after a brief hesitation, he chose to follow Huo Lingjun.
