Jiang Qingwan felt as if time had been paused, the air grew increasingly still, and a continuous warmth emanated from her palm.
Jiang Qingwan disliked such a complicated and serious atmosphere, and laughed it off, saying, "Hey, why are you making it so serious?"
"You're part of our team now, so it's my fault that you got hurt. As the team leader, I have to reflect on this and do a thorough review. Don't talk about how you saved my life."
As she spoke, Jiang Qingwan pulled her hand away from Ye Qi's.
Ye Qi didn't use any force, and Jiang Qingwan pulled it out easily.
The moment she pulled it out, Jiang Qingwan felt a strange emptiness in her heart, and a feeling of reluctance, which she didn't know where it came from, piled up in her heart.
It must be an illusion.
Once Jiang Qingwan made up her mind, she stopped worrying about it.
Looking at Jiang Qingwan's smiling face, Ye Qi felt a pang of sadness in his heart: Jiang Qingwan's martial arts skills in this life are undeniable, but when it comes to emotions, she's completely impervious to reason.
Ye Qi also curled up the corners of his lips, a smile spreading across his face. The cold, hard lines of his face melted like icebergs, and his voice carried a hint of amusement: "With such a considerate Captain Jiang, I am truly a lucky man."
Jiang Qingwan rubbed her hands together and clenched her fists to show her determination: "Of course. You should be secretly happy to have met me."
Looking at Jiang Qingwan's energetic appearance, Ye Qi's smile deepened, and his voice became warmer: "No need to hide it. On the surface, I'm never stingy with my smiles for you."
Something's not right.
Jiang Qingwan's sixth sense kicked in.
Ye Qi didn't usually speak like this, did he?
Why does everything seem so oily lately?
If it weren't for his handsome face and his way of speaking, he would have been ridiculed by all the girls online!
Indeed, looks are the most fashionable accessory. Forgive him!
Jiang Qingwan reached into her sleeves and rubbed her arms to get rid of the non-existent goosebumps. Looking at Ye Qi's stunningly handsome face, she exclaimed, "A handsome guy's smile is just so beautiful."
Ye Qi was also speechless for a moment because of Jiang Qingwan's erratic thinking and sudden compliments. His lips twitched slightly before he managed to keep smiling.
Jiang Qingwan noticed Ye Qi's awkwardness and, with a wicked heart, pressed her advantage.
She cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling, and stared at Ye Qi, exclaiming in an exaggerated tone, "Wow! Our Ye Qi is so handsome! Looking at your face, I can eat three extra bowls of rice today!"
Ye Qi was truly at a loss, so he put away his smile and resumed his usual aloof demeanor.
He pretended to be weak and flirted with her, but the girl opposite him was a funny one. After a series of attacks, he earned the reputation of being "good for watching while eating".
Tsk, hard to judge.
Once we get back to base and things are mostly settled, I need to make sure Jiang Qingwan understands my feelings.
These are turbulent times, so let's keep a low profile for now and not add any unnecessary emotions to Jiang Qingwan's mind, lest she be distracted.
Thinking of this, Ye Qi silently replied, "Thank you for the compliment, beautiful lady."
Jiang Qingwan stopped teasing Ye Qi, nodded, and instructed, "Wait here for me, I'll go upstairs and take a look."
After saying that, he accelerated vertically and flew straight into the sky.
Jiang Qingwan bent down to look at the dense forest below.
It can no longer be called a dense forest; it is now enveloped by layers of flames, obscuring its original appearance.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly into Jiang Qingwan's spiritual platform, and the abundant spiritual power spread throughout her body.
She raised her hand, and the flames, catalyzed by spiritual energy, burned even more fiercely.
Jiang Qingwan waved her hand, summoning a strong wind that dispersed the thick black fog.
The firelight grew increasingly pure, the flames were empty, yet they burned fiercely for no apparent reason.
Jiang Qingwan's fire is a divine fire that can burn everything it touches.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't have taken this long to burn.
Just to be on the safe side, fearing that Han Qianfan's body had not been properly disposed of, they continued burning it without stopping.
Jiang Qingwan felt that was enough, and then put out the fire.
Here, the appearance of a dense forest is completely obscured.
On the land, all plants and animals disappeared, and not even inorganic salts remained.
The original thick layer of fertile soil beneath the ground was ground away by tens of meters, forming a large square pit.
Jiang Qingwan pondered for a moment, and was just about to fill the pit when Ye Qi interrupted her, her hand already halfway out.
Ye Qi, who was observing Jiang Qingwan's movements from below, roughly guessed what she was going to do next and shouted, "Wait—"
With no dense fog obstructing his vision, Ye Qi used spatial folding techniques to quickly arrive beside Jiang Qingwan.
Jiang Qingwan obediently stopped.
She looked at Ye Qi with a puzzled expression, wondering what he meant by calling for her to wait.
Ye Qi didn't keep him in suspense and said, "I know what you're trying to do. Do you want to fill in the land?"
Jiang Qingwan nodded: "Yes. It's obvious."
Jiang Qingwan felt it was her duty to do so and continued her analysis: "Such a big pit can't just be left unfilled. I set it on fire, so I definitely have to take responsibility for filling it in."
Ye Qi disagreed.
Because he felt sorry for Jiang Qingwan and understood her.
He didn't care what Jiang Qingwan thought of him, even if she thought of him as a selfish person.
He just felt that Jiang Qingwan shouldn't do so much; she would get tired.
Ye Qi didn't want Jiang Qingwan to feel too morally burdened, so he said in a semi-commanding tone, "Don't fill it in."
"You set the fire to save everyone. Everyone has a responsibility and an obligation to clean up the mess together."
Jiang Qingwan was not as morally upright as Ye Qi imagined.
I just felt that filling in the pit was a simple task that didn't require much effort.
Since Ye Qi had specifically pointed it out, and she wasn't the kind of stubborn person who would let someone's good intentions down, she readily agreed: "Okay."
