“A three-minute hug is meant to discourage them!” Jiang Yuan said, seemingly enlightened.

"On one hand, it was also partly because I gave up on myself. After Di Hu left, everyone called me Little Demon Girl! So I decided to be promiscuous for once. As long as it lasted more than three minutes, we would be together!" Yu Tu recalled slowly.

"And then what?"

Yu Tu paused for a moment, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "What else can I do? After I messed with them, they all obediently kept a three-meter distance from me!"

"So you came here to experience what it's like to be a scumbag woman?" Jiang Yuan joked.

Yu Tu didn't reply, but waited for a long time before gradually letting go.

"Finally done, you almost strangled me to death!" Jiang Yuan twisted his neck to loosen his back.

"Three minutes have passed!" Yu Tu said, biting her lip as she waited for Jiang Yuan's reply.

"So what if it's over? Let's keep going and make sure we reach the southern part of the Tomb of the Lord of War by midnight!" Jiang Yuan gestured for Yu Tu to get out of his arms.

However, his words seemed to have no effect. Yu Tu stared at Jiang Yuan with a strange look in his eyes, neither speaking nor leaving.

"Is there... anything else?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.

Yu Tu bit her lip and didn't say anything, but blood was almost seeping from the corner of her lips.

"Boss, you're the one who's taking over!"

As the two were locked in a stalemate, a little dumpling that was on guard suddenly rolled over slowly and mumbled something indistinctly.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Yu Tu: "..."

"roll!"

Almost simultaneously, both of them unleashed a burst of energy that was only enough to knock the little dumpling away without harming it. As a result, the little dumpling, who had just rolled over, was mercilessly sent flying!

"I..." Yu Tu spoke first, "I'm still dressed, I still have my first kiss, and my past relationships are completely innocent!"

"Forehead!"

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Little Tuanzi is just a child, and he speaks without thinking. Please don't take it to heart!"

"No, how could I possibly mind!" Yu Tu quickly waved her hand, seemingly realizing that she had overreacted and even sent the little dumpling flying.

"Don't worry, I understand the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon Body, I know you have no choice in the matter, and I believe what you said!" Jiang Yuan gave her full trust. If we put aside the Heavenly Demon Body, An Xiaoyu is still a person of integrity.

"Don't take what Little Dumpling said earlier to heart! You know I didn't mean it that way!" Yu Tu lowered her head, not daring to look Jiang Yuan in the eye. She could feel the awkwardness between them.

"It's alright, it's alright. You tidy up first, I'll go comfort the little one!"

The little dumpling was definitely unhappy to be kicked out like that, so his father had to give him a good reward, otherwise this kid would cause a lot of trouble.

When the three set off again, the atmosphere had subtly changed. Yu Tu was embarrassed, Xiao Tuanzi was sulking, and Jiang Yuan was simply nervous.

The strange tower shadows that appeared around the Fire of Life were very likely the hiding place of the Flame of Life. As the executor of the fifth element, Water—the Blood Elf, if he could find the other four elements, he would understand what the Lord of War wanted to do. At that time, regardless of whether the Lord of War wanted to be reborn, he would be able to take the absolute initiative.

"Jiang Yuan, it's almost midnight. How are we going to find the tower you mentioned?"

After following for a long time, Yu Tu finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

"I don't know!" Jiang Yuan shook his head decisively.

"If you don't know, come and find me!" Yu Tu said, both amused and exasperated.

“By intuition, there’s more!” Jiang Yuan pointed to his clothes, “This purple robe!”

"Really? Why don't you take off your clothes and let me try them on!" Yu Tu said, her eyes sparkling.

"Even if you wear it, you can't activate the Soul Skill!" Jiang Yuan's attention was completely elsewhere. He vaguely sensed a summoning, similar to the summoning of the Blood Elf, but the summoning intent was always severed by some being, as if the other four elements besides the Blood Elf were beyond his reach.

But one thing is certain: he is close to the flame of life.

"Take it off, take it off!" Yu Tu was about to reach out and pull it off.

"Why are you so insistent on wearing it?!" Jiang Yuan couldn't stand the clumsy hands and feet, and had no choice but to take it off himself.

Yu Tu took the clothes, shook them a few times, and then, while putting them on, earnestly lectured, "You would never understand a girl's obsession with a boy's coat!"

"Really? I think you're just obsessed with the identity of the purple-robed disciple!" Jiang Yuan said indifferently. This guy just wanted to see if wearing the clothes would activate his endorsement, but he made such a big fuss about it.

"None of your business!"

Yu Tu put on a robe that was a size too big, then rolled up his sleeves, twirled around, and said in a low voice, "Let's see if I have the air of a cultivator!"

"Shh!"

Jiang Yuan's expression changed, and he gestured for Yu Tu to remain silent.

"What's wrong?" Yu Tu hunched over and looked around.

“There are a lot of strange beasts nearby!” Jiang Yuan took out the concealment talisman he had brought earlier, and after activating it, the array power enveloped the two of them. Only then did he speak again: “It seems that the appearance of this strange phenomenon is not just a coincidence.”

Coming to her senses, Yu Tu looked puzzled. She pondered, "Are you looking for a tower with flames inside?"

“You know, you know!” Jiang Yuan nodded, staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

Give me your hand!

Without asking Jiang Yuan's permission, Yu Tu grabbed his palm and placed it against his chest.

"Damn it, what are you doing!" Jiang Yuan pulled his hand back as if he had touched hot oil.

"What are you thinking! I told you to touch my heart, you you you..." Yu Tu realized something was wrong afterward, and started stammering, "You pervert!"
