Because of Ming Xi's matter, the little fire phoenix's mood was affected. Unlike its usual self, it would jump out of the space as soon as the sun rose.
Ye Zhen was very surprised by this and almost thought that the little fire phoenix had been replaced.
However, she was happy to have the peace and quiet.
"Did you encounter any trouble outside yesterday?" The Supreme Being sat upright in the carriage and asked in a faint voice.
"A little trouble, but it has been solved." Ye Zhen was surprised that the Supreme Being actually knew what happened to her outside yesterday.
The Supreme Being's long, narrow, and straight eyes lifted slightly. "Really solved?"
Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise and carefully ran the spiritual power in her Qi Sea to feel the surroundings. Sure enough, she found a giant eagle in the distant sky.
"The giant eagle's eyes are actually healed!" Ye Zhen was shocked. The little fire phoenix clearly bit its eyes out yesterday. What ability does the bearded man have to be able to cure the giant eagle's eyes overnight?
The Supreme Being explained gently, "This is Hei Teng, accompanied by a male and a female all year round. Did you hurt the male or the female yesterday?"
Ye Zhen was slightly stunned. She didn't notice whether the giant eagle was male or female last night. "Did the bearded man bring another Hei Teng to take revenge on me?"
"Hei Teng's intelligence is at least at the third stage. How did you win?" The Supreme Being asked.
"Actually … I just poked the eyes of Hei Teng when it wasn't paying attention." Ye Zhen laughed a few times. She knew that she was no match for Hei Teng in a fight. No wonder the Supreme Being was suspicious.
The Supreme Being looked up at her faintly and was very speechless. "It's not easy for you to poke the eyes of Hei Teng."
Ye Zhen laughed awkwardly, knowing that the Supreme Being must have doubts about this. "Supreme Being, then should I … lead the Hei Teng away?"
"What for?" The Supreme Being sighed helplessly. "We are about to leave the city. Don't pay attention to it."
Hearing this, Ye Zhen no longer paid attention to the Hei Teng outside.
The bearded man was more capable than she thought. If the male and female Hei Teng were there last night, the little fire phoenix would not have been able to hurt its eyes so easily.
Their carriage had arrived at the city gate. Ye Zhen saw through the curtain that the closed gate was slowly opening. There were dark lines on the gate. As the gate opened, the lines seemed to flash silver in the sunlight.
"Tai Zun, what are the lines on the city gate?" Ye Zhen felt the spiritual pressure from the city gate, so she asked curiously.
"It's an enchantment to prevent the fierce beasts from attacking the city." The Supreme said indifferently.
"It seems that living here is an adventure every day." Ye Zhen sighed.
"Crossing the Flaming Desert is the real adventure," he said as he looked up.
"…" Ye Zhen was speechless. They were leaving the protective boundary and entering the legendary most terrible desert. How could she have the leisure to care about the safety of others? It was better to care about herself first.
"Is there any way not to provoke those beasts?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
The carriage was slowly leaving the city, and the spiritual pressure gradually weakened. However, Ye Zhen felt a different heat enveloping her.
It was like entering an oven.
"Just sit quietly in the carriage." The Supreme said, "You seem to know a lot about the Flaming Desert."
Before yesterday, she didn't seem to know that the Flaming Desert was dangerous. How did she find out so quickly?
"Oh, actually, I don't know much about it. I heard someone talking about it on the street last night." Ye Zhen smiled awkwardly.
The Supreme didn't doubt the truth of Ye Zhen's words. He closed his eyes again and adjusted his breathing, as if they were not entering the dangerous Flaming Desert.
Ye Zhen felt hotter and hotter. The air around her seemed to be roasted by fire, and even breathing was difficult.
She glanced at the Supreme, only to see that his face was as usual, as if he didn't feel the heat at all. There was not even a drop of sweat on his forehead.
Is he not afraid of the heat?
"You are already a cultivator. Don't treat yourself as a mortal." The Supreme said helplessly.
"Huh?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows in confusion.
The Supreme looked at her. "You are already in the Qing State. You can change the temperature of the air around you by operating the spiritual power in your Sea of Qi. Don't you understand?"
"I haven't tried." Ye Zhen said that she hadn't been in the Xuantian Continent for long. Although her cultivation speed was fast, she didn't have much practical experience.
"Then give it a try." The Supreme said, thinking that perhaps he should let Ye Zhen practice more. Otherwise, when the time came, she wouldn't know how to use her cultivation.
Ye Zhen straightened her body, closed her eyes, and adjusted her breathing. The spiritual power in her Sea of Qi began to circulate, and a cool feeling flowed through every meridian in her body. The scorching air didn't seem so uncomfortable anymore. She was no longer sweating, and she could no longer feel the heat around her.
She was pleasantly surprised. It turned out that there was such a benefit to cultivation.
Seeing that she had adapted, the Supreme closed his eyes again.
The carriage moved at an unhurried pace. With the protection of the Winter Iron Armor, the horses walked as if they were on flat ground, unaffected by the heat. However, there were fearsome fierce beasts here, so they didn't dare to run like usual, for fear of startling them.
After Ye Zhen circulated her Sea of Qi, she opened her eyes slightly. Only then did she see the situation outside through the window. It wasn't that she didn't have the Sword Demon in the past. In her knowledge, the desert was nothing more than a drought and a lack of water. There were few plants, and there was sand as far as the eye could see. But what she saw now was very different from what she had seen before.
It really was the Flaming Desert. The boundless sand outside was like a sea of fire. This was the first time she saw red sand. Under the blazing sun, the red sand was like flames, and it seemed to be emitting smoke.
"Supreme Exalt, those fierce beasts live under the sand?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Yes." The Supreme nodded lightly. "They feed on the underground creatures. If you don't provoke them, they won't easily appear."
Who would dare to provoke them! Just based on the fact that they could survive in such a desert, it was enough to see that they weren't simple beasts.
"Ahhh …" Suddenly, a scream came from afar, along with Hei Teng's cry.
"Supreme Exalt?" Ye Zhen looked nervously at the Supreme.
The Supreme said calmly, "Hei Teng is also the fierce beast's food."
"…" The scream came from the bearded man. It seemed that both he and Hei Teng had become the fierce beast's food. "Will the fierce beast discover us?"
"Do you think I can't protect you?" The Supreme looked at Ye Zhen helplessly.
Ye Zhen shook her head resentfully. "Supreme Exalt, I didn't mean that."
Just as the Supreme was about to speak, his eyes suddenly darkened and he looked ahead sharply.
"It seems … something happened." Ye Zhen whispered. She seemed to hear the roar of a beast in front of her.
"Someone has startled the fierce beast." The Supreme frowned slightly. Just as he was thinking about whether to pass through the desert invisibly, he saw that the sky had changed color.
