"No!" "No!"

Upon hearing this, the little demon cultivators sitting on the futons hurriedly squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth. They were controlled by the black ropes formed from demonic energy, and their expressions were ferocious.

They didn't know what awakening meant; they only knew that Hoshino's pressure on the headmistress was definitely not a good thing.

Zhao Xi took a deep breath.

The fire elemental energy permeating the tent entered my nostrils, carrying a strong sulfurous smell.

Normally, the smell would only give her a headache, fever, and make her feel suffocated, but now it made her clear-headed and calm.

“I mean…” Zhao Xi tried to take the red cloak and tie it around her neck. The cloak was imbued with the fire spirit energy on her body, shimmering with fiery iridescent light that tinged her brows. “I can go back with you, but I won’t awaken.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Hoshino's dark face, and anger gathered in his kind eyes, making them shine even brighter: "No!"

He walked over, grabbed her hand, and pulled her out of the tent, as if he intended to jump into the lava with her to find the source.

Zhao Xi wanted to let him drag her, her tone as cold as ice: "Their lives are in your hands, but Rongrong's life is in mine."

"you……"

"You awakened her, intending to kill me, Zhao Xixiang."

"No, you are the same person."

"What gives you the right to define who I am?" Zhao Xi wanted to glare at him.

Hoshino paused, turned his head to look at her with disdain, and fell into thought: "So what do you want? Even now, can't you see the reality of the situation and are you still waiting for the water god to save you?"

Zhao Xi thought impatiently, "I told you, I will go with you, but I will not awaken."

As they spoke, the disciple brought Fire Gulu to the entrance of the tent.

The aged and decrepit Huo Gulu held a huge, fiery red ball in his hands, like the sun. As he approached the tent, several low-level Star Gate disciples were baked into a cloud of black mist by the fireball.

The others released demonic energy to resist the light.

The array on the tent doors and windows was operating with extreme difficulty, as if it would collapse at any moment. The faint spiritual light of fireflies shone through, but it was truly insignificant in the face of the fireball.

More red light shone in, and the people in the tents were drenched in sweat.

Zhao Xi wanted to order Liu Li around: "Protect your older brothers and sisters."

"Okay, Mother!" Little Liuli nodded obediently, then radiated light, filling the tent.

The fireball's light was actually blocked.

Zhao Xi tried to slap Xingye's hand away, leave the tent, and walk towards Huogulu.

Huo Gulu bowed and presented the fireball with both hands: "Lord Fire God, this is what you requested."

He sealed the fireball inside a piece of spiritual fire glass, which condensed into a round, black and red bead.

The brightness in front of the cave suddenly decreased, and the temperature dropped considerably.

"Very good." Zhao Xi wanted to take the Spirit Fire Pearl, hold it in her palm and play with it, "Continue to guard the abyss."

"Yes." Fire Gulu bowed and transformed back into a Fire Spirit Toad, then hopped away in full view of everyone.

The disciples escorting him were taken aback.

They originally thought that it was because they imprisoned the God of Fire that the toad had reluctantly handed over its source.

Unexpectedly, their combat strength far surpassed theirs.

The disciples immediately fled back to Hoshino's side, claiming they would protect the Demon Lord.

Ignoring the noise around him, Hoshino stood at the entrance of the tent, quietly waiting for Zhao Xi to get her hands on the source.

A look of confusion flashed in his bright eyes: "This is your origin?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Why is it different from what I remember?"

Zhao Xi wanted to mock her: "In your memory, you always thought Rongrong liked you."

“Zhao Xi wants to…” Hoshino gritted his teeth, enunciating each word clearly, as several wisps of black mist instantly enveloped his body, “Don’t change my memories. I am now the Rock God, and you are just a mortal!”

Zhao Xi shrugged, her face showing an expression that said, "I don't believe you can do anything to me."

Hoshino tapped his forehead, feeling utterly helpless towards her.

I do like it after all.

She brought the Origin with her and even put on his cloak. Even if she didn't awaken now, as long as the Origin was by her side, he would continuously release spiritual energy, gradually helping her recall her past.

Thinking about this, Hoshino suddenly felt that waiting a few more days wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Let's go now."

"Hoshino, you're getting more and more impolite as you grow up. We're about to part ways, and we might not be able to go back. Aren't you going to let me say goodbye to them?"

Zhao Xi wanted to walk towards the camp.

Several disciples tried to stop her and spoke rudely to her.

Hoshino: "Let her go."

The disciples made way.

Zhao Xi wanted to go into the tent.

Little Liuli has transformed back into a little girl, sitting on a futon, meditating earnestly, her little face covered in sweat.

The protection she just received required her to absorb all the fire elemental energy into herself, which was too much for her.

Zhao Xi wanted to walk to her side, wipe the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and press her cheek against Liuli's soft little face.

Just one breath.

The excess spiritual energy of the glass was absorbed by the Spirit Fire Pearl.

Zhao Xi wondered, "Are you staying here, or coming with me?"

Liuli opened her eyes and smiled, "I want to stay with Mother."

"good."

"Headmistress, don't go with Hoshino. If you go, you won't come back. Don't worry about us, Hoshino won't kill us." Under Ruri's protection, Xiaojia transformed back into a pangolin, curled up into a ball, and was finally able to speak fluently.

Upon hearing this, Hoshino stepped into the tent, rushed to him, picked up Pangolin Ball, and exuded a wild aura. He clasped his hands together as if to crush him: "Is that so? Then you can try."
