"What’s going on?" Xie Ping asked.
"Although I can’t sense my sister, I feel that she is using my Golden Fire. She wouldn’t use it if it weren’t dangerous," Xiaohuo said anxiously.
"I don’t know what she’s going through right now," Mo Ziqing said worriedly.
"Sister, you must co out!"
Inside the Phantom Realm, Jiang Yu was still confronting the Fire Dragon.
"What kind of fire is this?"
Even though the Golden Fire wasn’t attacking him, at such a close distance, his face was already so scorched that he was dripping sweat like rainwater.
"Phoenix Golden Fla," Dugu Qianye replied cheerfully, seeing Jiang Yu trapped and answering his question in a good mood.
"Phoenix Golden Fla?" Jiang Yu looked at the little fla in front of him, which seed to dance even more joyfully upon being ntioned, and was extrely surprised. "You actually have Divine Fire?"
"Divine Fire?" This ti it was Dugu Qianye’s turn to be surprised. Xiaohuo never ntioned anything about Divine Fire, did he?
"Hmph, ignorant humans, such Divine Fire is wasted in your hands!" Jiang Yu snorted coldly, openly despising a certain woman.
Uh, Dugu Qianye was speechless. If Xiaohuo didn’t know, how could she? Why the scorn again!
Those who knew must be old monsters! She complained inwardly.
The Golden Fire, apparently dissatisfied with Jiang Yu’s contempt for Dugu Qianye, released more of its heat, making Jiang Yu even more uncomfortable. If it were not for its master restraining it, it would have extinguished him directly!
"Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this a bit much? I just made one comnt; don’t get any hotter!"
It seed that after realizing he was being burned by the Phoenix Golden Fla, Jiang Yu reverted to his previously flirtatious self, no longer carrying the murderous aura from before. Seeing the Golden Fire standing up for Dugu Qianye, he couldn’t help but complain.
"Divine Fire, oh Divine Fire, that young girl doesn’t even know your worth. Why not follow instead?"
Scare?! Was this a blatant attempt at poaching?
The Golden Fire, not wanting to pay him any attention, zipped back to Dugu Qianye and nuzzled her hand. So docile with her, as opposed to the fierce attitude it showed others—it was like night and day.
"Why is the Golden Fire called Divine Fire?" Dugu Qianye questioned.
"Because it is a Divine Fire, obviously. You don’t know anything, little girl," Jiang Yu said as he glanced at his injured hand, realizing why she had been able to harm him given the presence of the Divine Fire.
"If I wasn’t in a half-awakened state, would you have defeated ? Since you are its master, I’ll let you out," he relented.
"No need," Dugu Qianye started to agree, but was interrupted when Dandan’s soft voice suddenly rang out.
"Who?"
Dugu Qianye had not expected anyone else to be able to enter the Phantom Realm, especially not a child’s voice. He looked around but found no one.
"A re Phantom Stone dare so insolent before , and even dragged my master here. It seems you really don’t want to live," Dandan said.
Hearing Dandan’s soft but arrogant tone, Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but want to laugh. Considering the special circumstances, she had to hold it back, but her shaking shoulders still gave away her emotions.
"Who exactly are you, to be so bold in my territory?" Jiang Yu, upon hearing Dandan ntion its true form, flashed a look of surprise but didn’t panic. He wasn’t worried about the threat to his life; he was the sky of this place, not soone whose life could be easily taken. But soon, he lost his composure.
A shadowy figure floated out from Dugu Qianye’s body, looking like an egg. Despite being a shadow, it shined like jade.
"Chaos — Chaos Heavenly Bead?!" For the first ti, Jiang Yu felt his brain wasn’t up to task, struggling to speak.
The egg-like shadow hovered in mid-air, slowly transforming into a toddler about one year old. Its short and chubby hand was placed on its hip as it pointed at Jiang Yu, who had lost all his presence, and said, "Hmph, do you think I might take your life?"
"Yes, of course." Jiang Yu said tremulously, devoid of his previous grandeur. He felt extre regret now. It wasn’t even ti for him to wake up, and here he was, cavorting about. With so many people on the ship, how did he manage to let this little scourge inside? Not to ntion the Divine Fire — it was also the owner of the Chaos Heavenly Bead!
The Chaos Heavenly Bead was known as the king of stones. It could absorb the essence of any stone, even those from its own era, and suppress them completely. Before, he had only heard of the Chaos Heavenly Bead and knew that the Creator God had thrown it into the Endless Void. He never expected to encounter it here, under these circumstances. If he wasn’t careful, his million-year lifespan could be over just like that.
"Dandan, you can co out now?" Dugu Qianye was surprised to find Dandan could leave her body, and even transform into a human shape. She hugged it joyfully.
Like many infants, Dandan was small, chubby, with big eyes. Seeing Dugu Qianye’s silly expression, it looked disdainful: "What are you so happy about? I can only co out in this stone’s presence; it’s not like I’m truly out. Go focus on your cultivation!"
"Hahaha!" Despite Dandan’s disdainful attitude, Dugu Qianye was very happy and did sothing she had always wanted to do—she planted a big kiss on its little face and, as expected, received a roll of the eyes in return.
Paying no attention to Dugu Qianye, Dandan turned to ask Jiang Yu, "Where are your other parts?"
"They’re asleep. I was bored and decided to look around, not expecting..."
"Hmph, I’ve long heard of your behavior. Now you have two choices: follow my master or let absorb you willingly. Right now, I need to replenish my energy, so I hope you choose the latter," Dandan stated.
Hearing Dandan’s words, Jiang Yu felt like crying without tears. What did it an by hoping he chose the latter? He had lived for millions of years. Could he really just be absorbed? And if he acknowledged a master, wouldn’t his other half, upon waking, find out he had sold them both and just erase him? He couldn’t fight the Sleep God. He had rely co out to play because he’d slept too much, and now it had co to this?
But now—
"I choose the forr, the forr," Jiang Yu said weakly.
"Hmph," Dandan seed unsatisfied with Jiang Yu’s choice, turning its face away and burying its head in Dugu Qianye’s embrace. The embrace seed, sohow, very warm.
Having acknowledged a master, Jiang Yu turned into a small bead. Dugu Qianye let out a drop of her blood to lt onto the bead, which then turned into an earring hanging from Dugu Qianye’s lobe, featuring a silver skeleton design, adding a touch of wickedness to her.
Hearing Dugu Qianye’s gasp as her ear was pierced, Jiang Yu felt a rush of relief. Alright, he admitted he’d done it on purpose — who told her to strip him of his freedom?
Since Jiang Yu was just a Phantom Stone and didn’t possess any offensive capabilities, Dugu Qianye didn’t gain any Phantom Power. However, Dandan benefited greatly; its spiritual power was significantly replenished, and its Heavenly Bead was even more lustrous and animated. Perhaps it was because they were both ancient stones.
