Becoming Invincible By Marrying The Ultimate Villainess - Chapter 49 - Chapter 49 – Devouring the Heavenly Flame—Five Realms in a Row, A Bad Woman!

At the Divine Strategy Mansion, in the western courtyard, as the sun dipped low.

Under the banyan tree, Ning Ye, with a serious expression, held out a Spirit Nourishing Pill toward Su Su and spoke firmly:

“Su Su!”

“Listen carefully!”

“After you take this pill, do not circulate the energy in your body. Let the pill’s power permeate your entire being, understand?”

“Okay!”

Su Su, looking at the Spirit Nourishing Pill in Ning Ye’s hand—a pill the size of a dragon eye, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance—nodded obediently. For Ning Ye’s words, she would follow without question.

“Good.”

Ning Ye nodded and softly said, “Open your mouth.”

“Ah!”

Obediently, Su Su opened her little mouth, and Ning Ye immediately placed the pill within.

“What do you feel?”

Ning Ye stared intently at Su Su and asked seriously.

“Dad!”

“Nothing much,” Su Su blinked in confusion, looking at Ning Ye. But in the next moment, a surge of heat rushed from her lower abdomen, spreading rapidly to her limbs and bones, then seeping deep into her soul.

At this point, Ning Ye saw Su Su’s red eyes gradually becoming dazed. The little girl called out softly in a dream-like whisper, “Dad!”

“Su Su… my head hurts so much!”

She collapsed into Ning Ye’s arms.

Under the setting sun, Su Su’s exquisite and beautiful face turned deathly pale. Deep within her memories sealed by icy chains for countless years began to stir.

Rainy nights… blood… screams… murmurs… cries… ice… cold.

Faint, fragmented images flashed intermittently in Su Su’s mind.

Even though Su Su’s head throbbed unbearably, she obediently didn’t circulate her energy, instead tightly biting her lips and allowing the pill’s power to soak into her soul.

[Ding! System notification: Su Baizhou’s damaged soul is rapidly healing!]

[Ding! System notification: Su Baizhou’s cultivation is rapidly increasing!]

[Ding! System notification: Su Baizhou’s damaged soul has been fully restored!]

[Ding! System notification: The Nether Holy Flame has fully evolved!]

[Relationship: Nether Bond]

[Intimacy: 85]

[Soul Restoration Progress: 100% {Soul restoration complete; memories will slowly resurface over time}]

[Nether Holy Flame: 100%]

“Su Su’s soul… it’s fully restored!”

“The Nether Holy Flame has evolved!”

Ning Ye, looking at Su Su’s status screen and hearing the system notifications, let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, that heavy burden in his heart lifted. Seeing Su Su’s cultivation casually leap to the Divine Sacred Realm, Ning Ye couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the royal Ghost Spirit Bloodline.

Glancing again at Su Su, who had fallen into a deep sleep, Ning Ye gently laid her down under the banyan tree, then began preparing to refine the Heavenly Flame—the Nether Holy Flame!

Zheng!

Ning Ye raised his hand, a dark, black flame appearing in his palm. The moment the flame appeared, the surrounding space twisted severely, clearly containing destructive, world-ending power.

This… was the seed flame of the Nether Holy Flame.

Next, he would consume the Heavenly Flame and refine it using the Flame Mantra!

Hoo!

Taking a deep breath, Ning Ye gritted his teeth and swallowed the seed flame, beginning to frantically activate the Flame Mantra.

…

Perhaps because his bloodline had reached the pinnacle level, coupled with the miraculous Flame Mantra, consuming the Heavenly Flame wasn’t too difficult for Ning Ye, though it did consume a great deal of energy and time.

After a day and night, a series of delightful system notifications echoed in his ears.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully refined the Nether Holy Flame!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your cultivation has reached Legend Stage Two!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your cultivation has reached Legend Stage Three!]

…

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your cultivation has reached Legend Stage Six!]

Listening to the numerous system notifications, Ning Ye felt an indescribable, blissful sensation surge from his soul, spreading through his limbs and bones!

In the blink of an eye, his strength experienced a tremendous surge, with the flow of moon essence in his meridians increasing by over a hundred times!

“One moment, and I’ve broken through five realms!”

“This must be the power of the Heavenly Flame!”

Ning Ye slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a deep breath. A sense of sweetness filled his heart, like he had just eaten honey.

With a soft smile, he raised his finger and summoned the Nether Holy Flame.

Zheng!

A dark flame appeared at his fingertips. It flickered like a dark elf, devouring all light. The surrounding space twisted as electrical currents crackled, and the power emanating from the flame was far greater than before—at least ten times stronger. There was even a hint of destruction within its intensity.

“Nether Holy Flame!”

Ning Ye gazed at the Heavenly Flame in his fingertips, his lips curving into a faint smile. The Heavenly Flame was now his, his cultivation had progressed, and at long last, he had the strength to truly defend himself in this dangerous world.

At that moment, Su Su woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, the little girl darted into Ning Ye’s arms, tears streaming from her eyes, soaking his chest.

“Su Su!”

“Are you alright?”

Ning Ye gently embraced her and asked softly.

“Dad!”

“I saw so many things…”

“People were crying.”

“Some died.”

“I… I feel so cold!”

Su Su rested her head against Ning Ye’s chest, her voice trembling as she spoke through tears. Her fragile appearance was heart-wrenching.

Sigh…

Ning Ye let out a long sigh, gently stroking Su Su’s back. After her soul was restored, the memories sealed away by ice for so many years would gradually awaken with time. It was inevitable that as these memories returned, Su Su would no longer remain carefree as before. But in this perilous world, who could afford to live without worry?

Su Su was the last princess of the Ghost Spirit Clan. One day, she would have to face the unseen forces responsible for extinguishing her bloodline from the Nine Heavens. For her own safety, she needed to mature quickly.

However, no matter what lay ahead, Ning Ye had already decided to stand before Su Su, protecting her, regardless or any gods or myriad races.

“Dad, will you always stay with Su Su?”

After a long pause, Su Su finally calmed down, raising her tear-streaked face to look at Ning Ye.

“Of course!”

“I will always be with Su Su!”

Ning Ye nodded firmly.

Su Su also nodded, her delicate face finally revealing a gentle, familiar smile from the past.

Ning Ye gazed at her smile, his eyes growing more resolute. Power—ultimately, it meant everything in this world.

At that moment, he took a deep breath, his thoughts lingering on: “It’s time… to meet that woman in the Sacrificial Path Tower.”

With Su Su’s bloodline awakening, hiding her identity as a member of the Ghost Spirit Clan would only grow more difficult.

Additionally, if his guess was correct, his fiancée might soon make her move as well.

He needed a powerful ally—someone capable of helping him navigate what was to come. That ally, as he knew, resided in the Sacrificial Path Tower.

Without hesitation, Ning Ye closed his eyes. In his deepest consciousness, there stretched an infinite starry sky, and at its center stood an ancient, eternal pagoda, unyielding and majestic.

“Su Su, Dad will take you to meet someone, alright?”

Ning Ye gently brushed Su Su’s hair, speaking softly.

“Who?”

Su Su tilted her head, looking up at Ning Ye with a tear-streaked face.

“A… bad woman,” Ning Ye’s lips curled into a mysterious smile as he spoke.
