Chapter 61: This Brat Is Asking for a Beating!

Ye Xiyao, after all, was only a Crimson Rank Spirit Master. It was a miracle that she survived Shen Hui's fatal blow, but her internal organs were thoroughly damaged.

Fortunately, she had been well-rested beforehand, and thus, after a day and night of unconsciousness, she finally regained consciousness.

Upon hearing the news, the Ye family father and son hurried over, their tense expressions finally easing into smiles. However, Ye Xiyao knew that her doting grandfather and Uncle Two must have already harbored suspicions. Thus, she no longer hid the truth and directly revealed that she had awakened her spiritual roots.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Ye father and son immediately understood, and then they promptly asked for more details:

"I wonder which lineage Young Miss Yao belongs to, and what are her natural talents?"

"The Fire element, it's just a bit different from the ordinary... As for its rank, I'm not aware of that either."

Ye Xiyao spoke the truth; after all, she herself couldn't comprehend the intricacies of the Dark Element. Thus, she opted to explain it in simpler terms.

"Oh? What level has Yao'er reached in her cultivation now?"

"Peak of the Crimson Terrace Middle Stage." Ye Xiyao once again truthfully disclosed.

"What?" The Ye father and son exclaimed in unison.

After all, although they had noticed something amiss previously, they didn't know the specifics since Ye Xiyao hadn't released her spirit pressure in public. From what Ye Xiyao had just said, she had activated her spirit root after regaining her normal state, so they assumed that she had just stepped into the realm of cultivators, at most being a First Rank cultivator!

After all, Ye Xiyao's cultivation time was too short—barely two months. No matter how high her talent was, how great could it be? Back then, Ye Wuchen was at the Sixth Rank of the Fire Element, and after two months, he had only reached the level of a Second Rank cultivator!

Yet, not only did she directly break through to become a cultivator, she had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Crimson Rank... How was this possible?

For a moment, not to mention Ye Jingtian, even Ye Hong widened his eyes and was left speechless for a long while.

"Hmph, a pair of country bumpkins. This Young Master is the Dark Sovereign of the Spirit Realm. Don't compare me with a bunch of trash!"

Seeing the astonishment on the Ye family's faces, the little boy proudly mocked them in his mental voice. Hearing this, Ye Xiyao couldn't help but frown. Without spoiling him, she immediately dragged him out of her mind and kicked his butt.

"Say hello!" Ye Xiyao commanded coldly.

"You woman, you're kicking this Young Master's butt again! Do you know how precious this Young Master's butt is?" Covering his butt, the little boy started to wail. However, Ye Xiyao ignored him, narrowing her eyes as the little boy instantly became obedient.

"Hmph, being fierce at me again..." The little boy was full of complaints, but still turned his head unwillingly and pouted at the Ye father and son as he greeted them.

"Old Master, Elder Uncle, greetings to you both."

Ye Xiyao: "..." This mischievous child was simply asking for it.

At that moment, the father and son from the Ye family stood there, dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of the young boy before their eyes. It wasn't until quite some time later that Ye Hong couldn't help but blink his eyes, then asked in astonishment:

"Yao'er, this is..."

"Cough, address me as Lord Hades," the young boy promptly replied, only to receive another kick from Ye Xiyao in the buttocks.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, Grandfather. This little one here is my Spirit Root."

"Oh... I see..." Ye Hong finally understood, yet he found it hard to believe. After all, in his long life, he had never heard of anyone on the Lingyun Continent capable of materializing their Spirit Root. Yet, this tiny creature had just appeared out of thin air, vivid and endearing beyond measure – it was truly astounding.
