"Does little master want to ask me how I know? It's very simple. It's because little master's body contains a bit of her scent. The last taste of a virgin was something that could never be erased in a lifetime. You flirt with other girls while saying that you only like little sister Shui Ruo. Little master isn't honest at all. Moreover, to little sister Bing Yao, who sees you as more important than her own life, you're so cruel. "
Ling Chen deeply breathed in, and helplessly said, "That was before I met Shui Ruo. Alright, don't say anymore. Shui Ruo has asked me to like other girls many times, and I know that she doesn't want me to feel guilty because of what happened with Dia Wu. The more she acts like this, the more I can't let her down. I can't forget Dia Wu, and one day, I'll find Dia Wu and bring her back. However, apart from this, I won't do anything that will let down Shui Ruo. "
"Ding …"
At this moment, he received a text message from his communication device. The only person who would send him a text message was probably Su 'Er.
Lifting his wrist, he saw that the text message was indeed from Su 'Er:
"Big brother Ling Tian, on October 30th, it's my 16th birthday. Can you secretly go to the banquet that night? I just want to see you that night, and won't let anyone find out about you … is that okay? "
Looking at this message, Ling Chen stared at it for a long time.
"That day, I heard little sister Xiao Qi say that on the day of little Su Su's 16th birthday, she's going to get engaged to that person called Xuanyuan Xue Yi. Little master, do you understand what little Su Su means? "Qi Yue asked.
Ling Chen fell silent.
"It's very simple. She likes you, and likes you so much that she can't help herself. As such, she doesn't want to get engaged to Xuanyuan Xue Yi. However, she's always been a good girl, and on that day, her family, Xuanyuan Xue Yi's family, as well as many other prestigious families will be present. She doesn't have the courage to refuse in front of everyone. And only you can give her that kind of courage. Aiya, little Su Su is so cute, so pretty, and so obedient. Even a woman like me wants to hug her to sleep every night. Little Master, are you willing to give little Su Su who already likes you to that man called Xuanyuan Xue Yi? "
Xiao Qi, Su 'Er. Within a single day, the atmosphere between him and these 2 girls, as well as his feelings towards them, had changed. This kind of change constantly struck his heartstrings, making it difficult for him to calm down.
He did not reply to Su'Er, nor did he reply to Qi Yue. He slapped the Cloud-treading Colt hard, hoping that it would run faster.
…
At the edge of the Lava Purgatory.
"Qiqi, Qiqi."
After stopping in front of the Lava Purgatory, Ling Chen shook Xiao Qi, who was still sleeping. On the way, Xiao Qi spent most of her time sleeping, and her sleep was exceptionally peaceful and peaceful, as if she couldn't get enough sleep. He didn't know if she was usually this sleepy.
Under Ling Chen's gentle call, Xiao Qi slowly woke up, and blinked her hazy eyes, "Big brother Ling Tian, have we arrived?"
"Mhmm, we're here. Come, let's go down first. "
Ling Chen put his arm around Xiao Qi's waist, and brought her down from the horse's back. Standing on the yellow ground, Xiao Qi also naturally hugged him. After landing, she did not let go for a long time. Ling Chen didn't know if it was because she had forgotten, or because she didn't want to let go.
"Where is this?" Xiao Qi asked in amazement as she looked at the red sky in front of her.
"This is called the Lava Purgatory, and it's the hottest place in the Forgotten Continent." Xiao Qi's body continued to softly lean against him, and Ling Chen couldn't push her away, so he could only pretend that he didn't care.
"Is it hot?" Ling Chen asked as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"A little bit, but it's okay. Big brother Ling Tian, why did you bring me to this place? Did you bring me to see the scenery here? The red ground, the red sky, and there seems to be a lot of fire burning on the ground. It's so beautiful. " Xiao Qi looked in front of her, and replied in an intoxicated manner. Ling Chen didn't know if she was intoxicated by the scenery in front of her, or the people around her. At this time, Ling Chen also noticed that even he, who had a much higher endurance than normal people, was sweating profusely in this place. However, Xiao Qi's face was as red as usual, and there were no traces of sweat on her forehead.
After thinking for a while, Ling Chen didn't immediately summon the Vermillion Bird, and instead asked, "Qi Qi, I have a few questions to ask you, and you have to answer them seriously, okay?"
"Sure, what's the problem?" Xiao Qi replied in high spirits.
"You, are you a fire esper?" Ling Chen asked.
"Eh?" Xiao Qi's face was full of surprise, and she shook her head, "Of course not. Big brother Ling Tian, why do you ask me that? "
Not? Ling Chen stared blankly. The Vermillion Bird had said that people who had a Flame Soul would have a strong talent for controlling fire, but Xiao Qi had directly denied it. Moreover, she didn't look like she was lying, and was instead surprised that he would ask such a strange question. Since the first question had been answered in the negative, then there was no need to continue asking the following questions.
What was going on … could it be that Xiao Qi didn't have a Flame Soul? But what was the reason for the Vermillion Bird's feather's reaction? Could it be that the Vermillion Bird's feather's reaction wasn't that reliable?
It seemed that he could only summon the Vermillion Bird.
Without answering Xiao Qi's question, Ling Chen took out the Vermillion Bird's feather, and under Xiao Qi's shocked gaze, he yelled at the Vermillion Bird's feather, "Vermillion Bird!!"
In the vast area, there was no echo. Just as Ling Chen's voice was completely dissipated by the hot wind, the image of a giant bird slowly appeared in the sky.
"Ahhh!!"
Although it was only an image, the Vermillion Bird's image gave off an incredibly powerful aura, giving Xiao Qi a massive visual and psychological impact. Xiao Qi cried out in shock, and grabbed onto Ling Chen with both hands as she leaned against him. Ling Chen softly said in her ear, "Don't be afraid, this is the image of the Vermillion Bird City's guardian beast. It won't harm anyone." Following this, he raised his head and looked at the Vermillion Bird's image, "Vermillion Bird, is this person next to me the type of person you want me to find?"
The Vermillion Bird didn't reply for a while, and Ling Chen could feel that the Vermillion Bird's gaze was not on him, but rather on Xiao Qi. Under the Vermillion Bird's gaze, Xiao Qi had to bear the immense pressure of a divine beast. Her face was filled with nervousness, and she didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, the Vermillion Bird's faint voice sounded out in the sky, "You have a Fire Soul, but you don't use it for your own use. Instead, you suppress it, and you even chose to use a Water Element profession. Are you trying to use water, which is the bane of fire, to suppress the fire in your body? What you don't know is that not only will this not cause the Fire Soul to retreat, but it will instead cause it to explode even more violently. You could have had a lifespan of 25 years, but instead of suppressing the fire in your body, you'll only be able to explode 5 more times before your internal organs will be destroyed and you'll die. If I'm not wrong, the last time you exploded was 10 days ago, and the next time you'll explode will be in 1 month's time! From the next time you explode, the interval between each explosion won't be more than 1 month. Every time you explode, you'll have a 90% chance of survival. In other words, within half a year, you'll definitely die. "
Xiao Qi's body trembled, and her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the crimson figure in the sky.
Ling Chen was shocked, and immediately asked, "Vermillion Bird, what do you mean? You said she … "
"Whether I'm telling the truth or not, you can ask her yourself."
Ling Chen turned his head to look at Xiao Qi, only to find that her face was filled with shock and an abnormal paleness. Her eyes trembled as she looked at the crimson figure in the sky, and said in a daze, "You … How did you know …"
The last time she exploded was indeed 10 days ago! The 'Fire' in her body had been suppressed since the day she was born. Even the reason why she chose to be a Water Elementalist was because of her resistance and fear towards the 'Fire' in her body. The 'Vermillion Bird' in front of her, a beast from the game world, had actually revealed her biggest secret.
Xiao Qi's reply caused Ling Chen's heart to suddenly jump. He pulled her shoulders, and anxiously asked, "Qi Qi, what's going on? The Vermillion Bird said that you have 'Fire' in your body, and that you won't live for more than half a year … Could it be that you already know all of this? Is this true? "
His concern and panic made her heart feel very warm and sweet. If it was possible, she wanted to enjoy this feeling for the rest of her life. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Ling Chen's eyes. The Vermillion Bird's words were all correct, and she couldn't help but believe the rest of its words. The last explosion had come too quickly, and had caught her unprepared. It turned out that it was the start of the countdown to her life. Even she didn't think that she would live for another 2 years, but in reality, she only had less than half a year left.
"Big brother Ling Tian." She softly said. She clearly wanted to hide it from him until the day she left, so that he wouldn't worry about her. However, as she got closer to the man who gave her the sense of security that she longed for, she couldn't continue to close her heart …
"I told you before, on the day I was born, my mother left me … When I could remember, my dad and big brother told me that my mother died because of a difficult birth. Later, as I slowly grew up, the strange phenomenon in my body became more and more frequent, and they were no longer able to prevent me from knowing the truth. When I was seven, the 'Fire' in my body, which had been suppressed by my dad for an entire seven years, finally exploded. It was also at that time that I knew the reason why my mother left me … When my mother was pregnant with me, her body had always been suffering from the pain of burning, and her internal organs had long since been seriously damaged. She had completely held on to the obsession of giving birth to me, and miraculously held on until the day I was born. The moment I was born, the bedsheets suddenly caught fire, and I cried loudly in the fire. My mother smiled at me, and before she could say a word to me, she left me forever. "
Ling Chen: "…"
"Ever since it exploded when I was seven, the 'Fire' in my body became more and more difficult to suppress, and the frequency of it exploding became higher and higher. When I was nine, it exploded again, and then again when I was ten and a half years old … Then, it exploded once every few months. It had only been a short one and a half months since the last time he had visited the place. I asked my dad for the reason, and finally, one day, my dad told me with tears in his eyes that I had the terrifying 'Heaven Sun Arteries'. In the past hundred years, there have only been less than ten cases like mine in the entire world, and none of them lived past the age of 25. When this disease breaks out, all the cells in the body will quickly heat up, and it's as if there's a fire burning inside. It's incomparably painful, and in the later stages, my consciousness will be directly cut off, and I won't even have the time to feel the pain. In order to cure the Heaven Sun Arteries, my dad practically traveled the entire world, but to no avail. There's never been a precedent of curing the Heaven Sun Arteries in this world. In the end, my dad could only find the most powerful ice ability user to suppress the 'Fire' in my body once every three months. But even then, the doctor was very sure that I could at most live until the age of 20. "
