I started with Emperor Armor and conquered Infinity.

Chapter 17 Honesty and Hope

"And let's get back to business. After we scared that guy away with our eyes,..."

I was just about to leave when I sensed a powerful flame aura in your room. I thought something might have happened to you, so I came in to check.

Then I saw your pale face and hurriedly offered my help.

This is what you see now. I don't know why I fell into a coma; maybe I overused my strength.

"Is that so? You've used too much power..."

Chu Yue'er tilted her head in thought, then murmured something, seemingly not objecting to Lin Yao calling her by the nickname "Sister Yue'er".

At the same time, as if unaware, or perhaps tacitly understood, she did not pull her hand away from Lin Yao's.

A moment later, she looked up at Lin Yao, and as their eyes met, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"In any case, this is my big brother. You've helped me, thank you. And big brother, can you tell Yue'er your name?"

Chu Yue'er's ability to sit on the throne of the most popular female protagonist in the Canglan Realm is indeed due to her own excellence, and no one can match her in terms of affability.

"My name is Lin Yao, Lin as in Lin Yao, Yao as in Lin Yao."

Lin Yao immediately revealed his name.

"Brother Lin Yao, are you teasing Yue'er? Who introduces their name like that?"

Chu Yue'er gave Lin Yao a reproachful look, like a child throwing a tantrum.

She pulled her hand away from Lin Yao's hands, turned her head away, and looked angry.

"Ah, Sister Yue'er, it's my fault, please forgive me. I just wanted to make you laugh, and it's just that I was used to it before, it wasn't intentional."

Seeing that Chu Yue'er seemed angry, but was acting like she was being coquettish, Lin Yao smiled, raised his hand to stroke her hair, and began to explain.

"This is the third person, besides my father and mother, to gently stroke my hair like this."

Feeling Lin Yao's gentle caress, Chu Yue'er did not refuse. A thought flashed through her mind, and the reproach on her face quickly disappeared. Then she said in a sweet voice.

"Brother Lin Yao, Yue'er forgives you."

"Thank you so much for your understanding, Sister Yue'er. Now let me introduce myself properly. My name is Lin Yao, which means 'double wood' and 'sun'.

At the same time, this name represents my goal. In the future, I want to stand high in the sky like the sun, radiating a light that no one can ignore.

"Brother Lin Yao, you'll have to work really, really hard to achieve this goal. I hope you succeed."

When Chu Yue'er heard Lin Yao's goal, she didn't mock him. Instead, she thought about it seriously for a while before earnestly encouraging him.

"thank you for your blessing."

Lin Yao chose to treat Chu Yue'er with sincerity, his words containing no deception; his main weapon was his honesty.

Lin Yao, relying on his appearance that was the same age as Chu Yue'er, managed to suppress the rampant behavior of the Golden Crow Flame, in conjunction with the rationality buff granted by his own Reincarnation Space.

Besides making Chu Yue'er wonder how someone could suppress the Golden Crow Flame with their own power in such a remote place as Qinghe City, even if it was just a wisp?

She didn't regard Lin Yao as someone from other top holy lands, such as the Misty Holy Land, the old rival of the Purple Cloud Holy Land.

A clean background and age, even without the added advantage of certain conditions, can reduce a lot of unknown hostility.

Of course, there was also the effect of chance.

On this coincidental night, Lin Yao entered Chu Yue'er's boudoir, came to her bedside, and helped her feel a sense of peace.

This left a deep impression on the little girl, an impression as warm as that of a family member.

The fact that she never minded having her hand held by Lin Yao, and was willing to have her forehead gently stroked like a younger sister, shows that...

At any other time, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't attract Chu Yue'er's attention.

“Sister Yue’er, actually, when I first saw you not long ago, I felt that you might have some health problems and wanted to help you.”

Of course, I don't want to lie to you. Besides wanting to help you, I also want to get along well with you and gain strength from you to become stronger.

And I will help you deal with the fiery power within you more easily.

As the Holy Maiden of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, she has the strongest backing in the Azure Realm, but in the end, she is still just a little girl.

If Lin Yao wants to get along well with her, the best thing he can do is to treat her with sincerity.

What is fake is still fake, and it is easy for the sensitive little girl in front of her to notice, causing a rift in their relationship.

Even though Lin Yao seized this opportunity and helped Chu Yue'er, putting their relationship in a special phase.

At the same time, Lin Yao still harbored some thoughts and was unwilling to let their relationship be tarnished, as that would make him regret it deeply.

"Big brother, you're really direct, but it will be very difficult for you to help me subdue the flames inside me."

Previously it was only a very slight wisp, but if it were to truly erupt, its power would be terrifying; I'm afraid no one in the entire Dragon Abyss Dynasty would be able to withstand it even for a single breath.

While in a deep sleep, Chu Yue'er felt an unprecedented comfort in her body, and a hazy figure appeared in her mind, so she had a very good impression of Lin Yao.

However, upon hearing Lin Yao's direct words and his offer to help subdue the Golden Crow Fire within her, she felt that Lin Yao still didn't quite understand the significance of the top ten flames in the Canglan Realm.

As the daughter of a top expert in the Canglan Realm, even though her father could remove and expel the Golden Crow Fire from her body.

However, if you don't drive it away, you can only prevent it from harming you, but you can't subdue it without affecting yourself.

Furthermore, now that they have entered the period of slowly integrating the Golden Crow Fire and increasing the concentration of their divine bloodline, they are even less able to use their Void Refinement Realm strength to influence it.

Now there's a boy who's not much older than me, yet he can do things that even my father couldn't.

This piqued Chu Yue'er's curiosity.

She immediately made a decision in her mind: if the older brother in front of her was bragging, she should still nod in approval, so as not to hurt his good intentions.

"From a young age, I possessed a suit of armor and five energy stones within my body. The armor was called the Emperor's Armor, and the five energy stones were called the Five Shadow Stones, which possess the attributes of the five elements."

While you were unconscious, I used the power of the Emperor Armor and the fire essence within the Fire Shadow Stone to fiercely fight against the Golden Crow Fire within your body.

I also lost consciousness afterwards, so I don't know the specifics, but judging from your current state, I guess I won.

Lin Yao looked at Chu Yue'er with sincere eyes and told her everything without the slightest hesitation.
