Baihu leaped high into the air and jumped into Ye Fan's embrace, licking the side of Ye Fan's face passionately.
Ye Fan smiled as he dodged Baihu's pink tongue.
"You're finally back," Akatsuki landed in front of Ye Fan and pretended to be calm.
A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.
Earlier, she was crying tears of joy, but now, she pretended that nothing had happened.
"Yes," Ye Fan, who was carrying Baihu, nodded at Akatsuki as an answer.
"How is it? Have you subdued the Bai Gu couple? Are you guys hurt? "Akatsuki asked.
Although she asked 'you guys', she was actually most concerned about Ye Fan.
"Everything went smoothly," Ye Fan stroked Baihu's fur in his arms and told Akatsuki about the general situation.
He did not tell Akatsuki about Bai Sheng and Nie Qing in Japan. He only said that he had arranged for the Bai Gu couple to go to the Thousand Demon Hall and the Ten Thousand Immortal House.
"I didn't expect the couple to have such a pitiful background," Akatsuki said emotionally after hearing Ye Fan's explanation.
"In today's world, humans are no longer as good as demons." Ye Fan lowered his head and stroked Baihu in his arms. He said calmly, "Although they're demons, they're not bad. They're many times better than those scum who talk about benevolence and morality but are thieves and prostitutes."
"You're right." Akatsuki nodded and said, "A demon with feelings is better than a heartless person."
"How are the people in Huo Long Town?" Ye Fan changed the topic and asked Akatsuki.
"They are all waiting for your good news over there." Akatsuki said with a smile, "This time, you have become the great heroes of Fiery Dragon Town."
"Go and tell them that the evil creature has been killed by Fire Dragon," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki. "From now on, Fire Dragon will forever protect this town and will not let any evil creature disturb this place."
It was obvious that he had given all the credit to Fire Snake.
He wasn't doing this to show off his aloofness. He was doing this for Fire Snake.
After all, he was just a passing traveler in the Fire Dragon Town. After finding the whereabouts of the divine cauldron, he would leave this place and might never return to this place again.
However, the Fire Serpent was different from him. For thousands of years, it had been guarding this rich and remote town. Although the Fire Serpent had not fulfilled its duty as a guardian in the past fifteen years, it was excusable. The flaws could not obscure the beauty of the town. The real guardian angel was the Fire Snake, not him.
Taking advantage of the matter of subduing the Bone Couple, Ye Fan wanted to let the people of Huo Long Town regain their confidence in the Fire Snake and let the Fire Snake once again establish its prestige in the hearts of the people.
The smart Akatsuki instantly understood Ye Fan's intention.
She was not surprised by Ye Fan's decision.
She knew Ye Fan very well.
Fame and fortune were insignificant to Ye Fan.
There were only two things he wanted now. First, his beloved wife, Fujiwara No Chiko, could be resurrected. Second, his adopted sister, Xiao Zhao, could be reborn.
Other than that, he was not interested in anything else.
So much so that from the time she met him until now, she did not know what Ye Fan's hobbies were, what he liked to eat, and what he liked to do.
Every time she went to Ye Fan's cabin to deliver food to Baihu Xiao Zhao, she either saw Ye Fan in a daze or meditating. There was nothing else.
As for the food she brought, Ye Fan did not refuse it. He would eat whatever he had, and never picky. Every time she asked him how it tasted, he would say it was very good. She did not know whether it was true or not. Eating did not seem to be a pleasure for him. It was just to fill his stomach.
"Hiss …" Hearing Ye Fan's words, the Fire Snake behind him let out a hiss.
It could be said that Ye Fan was the one who took the most credit for subduing the White Bone Couple. The fire serpent did not put in much effort. Now that it heard that Ye Fan wanted to take all the credit for himself, the fire serpent was a little shocked.
For thousands of years, it had seen many masters with cultivation, but it was the first time it had seen someone like Ye Fan who was unmoved by fame and fortune.
"Hiss …" The Fire Snake shook its head.
It could not falsely claim credit that did not belong to it.
"Brother Fire Snake, don't refuse," Ye Fan reached out and patted the Fire Snake's huge body, and said, "You are the guardian of this place, and I am just a passer-by. In the future, the people of Fire Dragon Town will be handed over to you. "
The word "passer-by" made Akatsuki, who was standing opposite Ye Fan, suddenly feel a faint pain in her heart.
For Ye Fan, wasn't she also a passer-by in his life?
There would be a day when he would save his beloved wife. At that time, he would leave her and stay with Fujiwara No Chiko forever.
Thinking that there would be such a day in the future, Akatsuki's eyes turned red.
Before that day came, she had to cherish every inch of time she had with Ye Fan.
She envied Fujiwara No Chiko, but she was not jealous of her.
When that day came, she would definitely be happy for the husband and wife.
Although at that time, she would be heartbroken and in so much pain that she would rather die.
The highest level of love for a person was to hope that they could be happy forever, and not have to be together.
To her, having a beautiful memory of being together with Ye Fan was more than enough.
Under the crystal mask, she bit her lower lip, trying not to cry.
"Hiss … Hiss …" The Fire Snake made a hissing sound again.
"I understand what you mean," Ye Fan looked up at the Fire Snake and said with a smile, "I also want to be a big hero, to be welcomed on the streets, to wear red and green, but my identity is special, and I have important things to do, so I can't easily reveal my identity. This time, you can do me a favor and don't let me show my face in public, okay? Brother Snake? "
The Fire Snake tilted its huge head, as if hesitating.
Ye Fan's words did make some sense, he really couldn't reveal his identity, otherwise, he wouldn't wear a mask.
"It's settled then." Ye Fan patted the Fire Snake's body, then turned to Akatsuki and said, "It's getting late, you should take the people back to rest. After you're done with this, you should quickly go back and rest. These two days, you've been busy evacuating the people, it's been hard on you. "
"What about you?" Akatsuki hurriedly asked Ye Fan, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the depths of the desert." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
"You're going to find the Divine … Divine Ox?" Akatsuki saw that Fire Snake was present, so she didn't directly mention the Divine Cauldron.
Ye Fan nodded.
Hearing the two words' Divine Ox ', Fire Snake's eyes instantly lit up.
It now understood what Ye Fan was looking for.
"I'll go with you." Akatsuki said.
"You still have to escort the people back," Ye Fan said, "When you reach Fire Dragon Town, I should be back."
"But …" Akatsuki couldn't find a reason to go with Ye Fan.
"Be careful on the road, we'll meet in Fire Dragon Town." Ye Fan said as he used his movement skill, his figure slowly leaving the ground.
"Brother Fire Snake, let's part ways here." Ye Fan, who had flown more than ten feet above the ground, said goodbye to the Fire Snake.
Whoosh … Seeing Ye Fan use his movement skill, the Fire Snake immediately straightened its body, raised its huge head, and extended it towards Ye Fan in the air.
The Fire Snake's body was more than a hundred feet long, and it instantly rose to Ye Fan's feet in the air.
"Hiss …" The Fire Snake hissed as it used its huge head to press against Ye Fan's feet.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Fan was already standing on top of the Fire Snake's head!
"Brother Snake, what are you …" Ye Fan didn't understand the Fire Snake's intention.
"Hiss … Hiss …" The Fire Snake hissed twice.
Ye Fan was dumbfounded. He didn't understand the snake language at all.
"Swish … Swish …" The Fire Snake used its head to press against Ye Fan and quickly slithered into the depths of the desert.
"Hey … Hey …" Akatsuki, who was on the ground, didn't even have time to call out to Ye Fan before the man and the snake had already gone far away from her.
"Brother Snake, where are you taking me?" Ye Fan, who was standing on top of the Fire Snake's head, asked the Fire Snake at his feet.
"Hiss … Hiss …" The Fire Snake hissed.
Ye Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Fire Snake could understand his words, but he couldn't understand the Fire Snake's words.
"How about this, Brother Snake, I'll ask and you'll answer." Ye Fan suddenly thought of a way to communicate with the Fire Snake, "If I'm right, you hiss once. If I'm wrong, you hiss twice, okay?"
"Hiss …" The Fire Snake nodded slightly.
"You're taking me to the desert?" Ye Fan asked.
"Hiss …" The Fire Snake hissed, indicating that Ye Fan was right.
Ye Fan nodded slightly. The Fire Snake was indeed taking him to the desert.
"You're taking me to find the Golden Bull?" Ye Fan thought for a moment and asked the Fire Snake the question he had always wanted to ask.
Before coming here, Onigirō had told him that the Fire Snake seemed to be guarding something, and it was a bronze item.
Ye Fan had his own thoughts about Onigirō's words.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Onigirō, but he hadn't mentioned that there would be a fey guarding the divine cauldron.
When he was searching for the cauldron at the bottom of the Sishui River, he had only been affected by the illusion and not the fey's attack.
From this, he deduced that there wasn't a fey guarding the divine cauldron.
Unless …
Suddenly, Ye Fan thought of something.
This Fire Snake couldn't be the owner of the Nine Bells, right?
"Hiss … hiss … hiss …" The fire snake hissed, and then hissed twice.
Was it? Wasn't it? Ye Fan, who was on the snake's head, was confused.
He didn't understand what the Fire Snake was trying to say.
He was starting to regret not learning the Language of Beasts from Jinchan. That way, he would have been able to communicate with the Fire Snake.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Fan asked the Fire Snake again, "Is there any special connection between you and the Golden Bull?"
This question was very clever and subtle. It meant that he was asking the Fire Snake if it was the owner of the Nine Bells.
If the Fire Snake was really the owner of the Nine Bells, then it would definitely understand what he meant.
If it wasn't, then he wouldn't be considered to have revealed a heavenly secret.
"Hiss … Hiss …" The Fire Snake hissed twice.
This time, Ye Fan understood that the Fire Snake wasn't the owner of the Nine Bells.
But where was the Fire Snake taking him? He couldn't figure it out.
It seemed that he would have to wait for the Fire Snake to stop.
