Even before the flying spirit ship neared the Flame Region, High sensed it.
Shang looked at Shi Ying, who was playing with the fake flowers. Ever since he brought her back, he had placed her in the most secretive side hall of the Priestess Hall. This was where he cultivated in seclusion. Unless he died, no one would discover this place. This was because no one in the Demon Palace could see this side hall.
"Flowers … flowers …" Shi Ying held a bunch of fake flowers and smiled innocently. She turned to look at High, an innocent smile on her face. "Big Brother, these flowers are very beautiful."
She had slept for two hundred years, but she didn't seem to have changed much. She still looked like a young girl, but there was no more worry in her eyes, nor was there any hint of viciousness. She was no longer a Flame Devil King.
The current Shi Ying should live a normal life. She couldn't go back to her previous life.
Thus … he couldn't let Ye Jingshu discover her existence.
"Big Brother, this is for you." Shi Ying walked over to High with the flowers, smiling as she passed them to him.
"Thank you, Shi Ying." High revealed a gentle smile.
Shi Ying happily ran off. She looked up at the sky, a puzzled look in her eyes. "Why … why isn't there any sunlight? Why isn't the sky bright?"
High put down the scroll in his hand and walked over to Shi Ying. "In the future, I'll take you to a place with sunlight."
"Okay, okay." Shi Ying's eyes sparkled as she looked at High.
"Shi Ying, I have something I need to do. Stay here and don't go anywhere. Don't leave this place, okay?" High held Shi Ying's hand, coaxing her like a child.
"Okay." Shi Ying nodded obediently. "I'll wait for you to come back."
Just like before she left the Xuantian Continent, she was so obedient. High's heart ached. "Shi Ying is so obedient. I'll go pick up a few friends."
"Then will someone play with me?" Shi Ying asked in surprise.
If Emperor Mo agreed …
"Yes." High smiled and nodded.
"Vile General, watch her. Don't let her leave this place," High ordered the vile general in a low voice.
"High Priest, don't worry. I won't let Ye Jingshu find out," the vile general said.
Only then did High leave. When he arrived at the border of the Flame Region, he saw the distant flying spirit ship.
It's finally here …
He just knew that she was a kind girl. She wouldn't leave a Flame Devil in the lurch.
The Devil's Core fell on her in the human world. Was it because of this that she wouldn't have any prejudice against the Flame Devil?
No matter what the reason was, this was the first time that they, the Flame Devils, saw hope.
Ye Zhen was their hope.
"Mother, the Supreme is in front." Ming Xi, who was on the deck, was the first to discover the existence of the Supreme.
"Looks like you're quite attentive. You're already waiting here." An Ge glanced at Ye Zhen with a smile, ignoring the sullen face of Emperor Mo behind her. He was also very upset. He and Emperor Mo were fellow apprentices, and they had known each other for hundreds of years. Yet, he didn't know that Emperor Mo had already met the Emperor of the Upper God Continent. He had been in the Upper God Continent for so many years, yet he had never seen the Emperor.
What was Emperor Mo's identity? Ye Zhen came to the deck and saw the Supreme standing on the distant mountain peak. Behind him were the blooming red spider lilies, which swayed gently in the wind. Standing in the bright red, the Supreme, dressed in a moon-white robe, showed his elegant temperament.
"Do you think that the Supreme is so good-looking, doesn't he look like a Flame Devil at all?" Ye Zhen whispered to An Ge next to her.
"I think so, too." An Ge loved to appreciate beautiful things. He felt that the Supreme was indeed a talented man with outstanding temperament, unlike other Flame Devils who looked fierce.
"It's a pity." Ye Zhen sighed.
Emperor Mo looked down at her. "Does Madam think it's a pity?"
Ye Zhen chuckled. "I mean, it's a pity that the Supreme is in the Flame Region. If he were in the Holy Sect, he would definitely be able to go to the Upper God Continent in the future."
"Madam really cares about … other men." Emperor Mo's voice was faint, and his emotions were indiscernible.
"How could that be? Hahaha." Ye Zhen felt a chill run down her spine. What was wrong with her just now? How could she say that the Supreme was good-looking in front of Emperor Mo? She was really … stupid.
Emperor Mo didn't speak again, but his eyes lingered on the Supreme.
Good-looking? In Yaoyao's mind, was the Supreme more good-looking than him?
Ye Zhen glanced at him quietly, reached out and hooked his finger, scratching his palm a few times.
"Stop it." Emperor Mo grabbed her restless little hand, his tone warning, but his eyes were filled with a doting smile.
The Supreme saw the interaction between Ye Zhen and Emperor Mo from afar. His eyes darkened slightly, and he averted his gaze from them, a faint smile still on his elegant face.
The flying spirit ship drew closer and closer, and the Supreme rose into the air to meet Ye Zhen's eyes.
"Yaoyao, you're back." The Supreme smiled and glanced at Emperor Mo. "City Lord Mo, please forgive me for not coming out to greet you."
Emperor Mo's lips curled into a faint smile. "It's not my first time here anyway."
He had come to the Flame Region countless times. Whether or not someone greeted him made no difference to him.
"How did the Flame Region become like this?" An Ge cried out in surprise.
"It's always been like this." Fire Phoenix said grumpily. "Have you been here before?"
An Ge shook his head, but there was confusion in his eyes. Strange. He had read about the Flame Region in the Upper God's Continent. It was originally described as a place rich in spiritual energy and very suitable for cultivation. It couldn't be … it couldn't be so gloomy and full of the smell of decay.
Their conversation didn't attract the attention of others. Ye Zhen invited the Supreme to the flying spirit ship.
"Are the children still sick?" Ye Zhen asked.
"They're much better after drinking the medicine you left behind," the Supreme said in a low voice. "However, there are several children in Shanghai who have fallen ill. Because no one knows how to treat them, they've already … died."
Ye Zhen's face changed. Albinism was inherited to this generation, and it was already very serious. It began to happen in childhood. If it could not be cured, many people would die of Flame Demon's disease.
"How long does it take to practice the rebirth technique? Will it be too late? " Ye Zhen asked. She had no other way to cure albinism. If the rebirth technique could really cure them, then she could practice it. But could she really make it in time?
Shi Ying had practiced it for fifty years, but he couldn't reach perfection. The Supreme frowned. "I … it's hard to say."
"Yaoyao wants to practice the rebirth technique?" An Ge moved closer to Ye Zhen. "Doesn't that mean she has to practice with him?"
Ye Zhen was stunned. Did she have to practice the rebirth technique with the Supreme?
"Don't you know that the rebirth technique is actually a kind of … dual cultivation?" An Ge glanced at Emperor Mo and said with a smile.
