The Time Corridor's bonfire blazed brighter and brighter.
The fiery red light illuminated the faces of Ye Zichen and Pilar, who stood before the bonfire, and their faces reddened.
Ye Zichen's hand remained suspended in midair. Pilar didn't respond. However, he could tell that the demon king was hesitant, so he wasn't in a hurry. He quietly retracted his hand and waited for Pilar to make a decision.
In truth, Pilar wasn't hiding his emotions. He really was hesitating.
From the moment Ye Zichen entered the Time Corridor and Pilar decided to meet him, he'd wanted to work with Ye Zichen.
His hatred for the Outsiders was far deeper than Ye Zichen's.
Pilar was keenly aware of his current situation. Overthrowing a colossus like the God Race was nothing more than a pipe dream. He needed external help. As the Third Era's Emperor Star, Ye Zichen had the fortune to enter the Time Corridor twice. To him, Ye Zichen was the perfect partner.
He didn't directly agree because he didn't want to show how desperate he was.
He also wanted to understand Ye Zichen a little better. After all, they'd only met twice, and the first time they met, Ye Zichen hadn't given him a particularly good impression.
He'd stolen the demon race's prized possession, the Devil Dharma Body.
Just now, Ye Zichen's display of his true feelings had moved Pilar somewhat, but only slightly.
Right now, he needed to understand Ye Zichen in many ways. At the very least, he needed a shallow understanding of his character.
Pilar was already standing at the edge of a cliff. He had no way out, and he couldn't afford to fail.
Pilar took a deep breath, then glanced at Ye Zichen.
"We can consider working together, but right now, cooperation isn't the problem we need to solve the most. Getting out of here is our top priority. "
"I won't hide it from you. I trust you've sensed it too: I don't have any demonic energy on me. I'm only protected by the Time Corridor, but I can no longer control it. "
Honesty was a good thing!
Pilar's words didn't seem like a good thing at the moment. Without demonic energy, he couldn't control the Time Corridor, and there was no way he could leave the Time Corridor through the dimensional rift.
Even so, he didn't have any demonic energy. It was a secret, but Pilar still said it.
His honesty meant that he was gradually dropping his guard against Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen merely smiled at the question of how to leave the sub-dimension.
Suddenly, the bonfire in the corridor burned brighter and brighter.
The flames were like countless fiery snakes, threatening to swallow them whole.
At this moment, a loud cry came from the bonfire.
The flames of the bonfire splashed around them, and at the same time, a blazing bird appeared in their field of vision.
The scorching heatwave baked the Time Corridor into a fiery red iron plate. Pilar, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly had a feeling …
It was as if he had become the delicious barbecue Ye Zichen had given him.
However, the heat didn't last long. Pilar saw Ye Zichen place a barrier around him.
"You really are courting death."
The fierce bird on the bonfire spat out a mantra. The biting coldness in his mouth formed a strong contrast with his heat.
"This isn't your summoned creature?"
The bird's words stunned Pilar. He and Ye Zichen were the only ones in the Time Corridor. Pilar was certain of this.
Without demonic energy, he couldn't even control the Time Corridor, much less summon a creature.
Only Ye Zichen could.
But why did this bird seem to have such a bad temper?
Was it because of his fire attribute? Generally speaking, fire-attribute creatures had fiery tempers.
"You'd better shut up."
Before Pilar could respond, Ye Zichen glared at him in exasperation.
A summoned creature?
In truth, calling the bird a summoned creature wasn't wrong. It was one of the three Yao Emperors of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
However, couldn't Pilar tell that the bird looked like it wanted to eat Ye Zichen alive? And he dared call it a summoned creature? He really wasn't afraid of death!
Back in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, he'd tried to kill his master. Ye Zichen didn't dare provoke him!
Summoning him was Qinglan's idea. After entering the Time Corridor, Ye Zichen had extra divine power to communicate with the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
Qinglan had recommended the bird, and she'd convinced it to help.
The bird had come out, but it had a terrible temper.
When he saw that Ye Zichen's emotions weren't too stable, and the blazing bird looked like it was about to devour him, Pilar considered the fact that he had no demonic energy at all, so he obediently shut his mouth and said no more.
"Boss, don't be angry. Uncle Lan said that if I wanted to help you find it, I needed a fire. As you can see, I'm in pretty bad shape right now. I used all my strength to make a bonfire. " Ye Zichen smiled apologetically. "I know this bonfire is a bit embarrassing for you, but I had no choice."
"Hmph!"
The fierce bird coldly snorted, and with a shake of its body, it transformed into a handsome man with sharp eyes.
"I really don't know what's so good about you, kid. Even Qinglan and Cang Xiong, that brainless bastard, spoke up for you."
Cang Xiong had spoken up too?
Ye Zichen made a mental note of this. When he had time, he'd have to properly reward him when he entered the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
However, right now, all he could do was smile apologetically.
"I really don't understand why you're the Emperor Star of this era. You don't have the slightest sense of maturity. You're just like a street kid," slandered the bird mercilessly.
Pilar, who was inside the barrier, widened his eyes at the scene before him.
This bird was supposed to be Ye Zichen's summoned creature, right? Why did it feel like he was the master? If this were the demons, their masters would've killed this summoned creature long ago.
Ye Zichen really had a good temper. This sort of partner ….
Bonus points!
Ye Zichen had no idea that this situation would actually earn him extra points in Pilar's heart. All he could think about now was ….
I have to endure!
Ye Zichen stood in front of the bonfire. He couldn't help but remind himself that if he wanted to get out of here, he'd have to rely on this guy Qinglan had recommended.
It really was strange. The yao emperors of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda were each worse than the last.
Cang Xiong had gone to great lengths to convince Ye Zichen to give him peach juice, but this bird's temper was even worse than his.
He really wasn't easy to get along with!
Even so, he still had to force a smile on his face and attach himself to her.
