Chapter 842: The Observer
He Lanyi walked to Wenren Qi's side. Seeing the deep solemnity on the young man's face, she felt worried too: "Brother Qi, that girl..."
Wenren Qi let out a breath and muttered to himself, "If she dies like this, do we owe her a life?"
His voice was low, and in his hand was the Crimson Flame Thorn, tightly wrapped in silk cloth. The warmth from the Crimson Flame Thorn spread from the silk cloth to his palm.
The scalding temperature couldn't dispel the tension and unease in his heart.
Without her medicinal pills, they wouldn't have been able to enter this cave, nor would they have obtained this Crimson Flame Thorn...
She said, "We don't know each other," but she still decisively helped them and even let them leave the cave at the last moment, cutting off all possibilities for the Xuan Tian Fire Fox to harm them.
He didn't believe it.
I don't believe that complete strangers would go to such lengths for them.
But her face was so unfamiliar...
Why?
Wenrenqi asked himself the same question over and over again, but he could never come up with the right answer.
"That's strange, why are we the only ones who came out? Where is that boy in the white clothes?" Helan Xuan's voice suddenly rang out, pulling Wenren Qi back to reality.
Helan Yi also glanced around, her expression suddenly turning strange: "That's right! Why didn't the boy in white come out?!"
Wenren Qi frowned. Could it be that the white-clad youth possessed a terrifying cultivation level that even sacred beasts couldn't shake?

The spirit that Helan and her brother were talking about was still standing above the suspension bridge.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Fei, his gaze filled with interest.
Suddenly, Ye Fei realized something and abruptly looked up in the direction where the painting spirit was—
There was nothing there.
Strange, she clearly felt a gaze upon her...
Hua Ling raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, then smiled and said, "So perceptive?"
He used a little magic to cleverly conceal his aura and figure, making it impossible for either sacred beasts or cultivators to easily detect him.
Only this little girl... the smile on Hua Ling's lips deepened in meaning.
Flames soared into the sky, and the scorching air currents lunged menacingly at every corner.
The snow-clad youth standing atop the suspension bridge showed no sign of pain from the fiery breath, appearing as if he were in a fairyland, completely at ease.
"Alright, let's begin."
The Xuan Tian Fire Fox shifted to an elegant stance, its gaze lightly fixed on Ye Fei—it wanted to witness firsthand what secrets lay hidden beneath her fearless exterior.
Ye Fei summoned Hua Hua, Bi Yun, and Qing Li, who had been staying in the mental space, and then placed Lian in Ling's hands: "Ling, please take care of everyone for me."
Ling's brows furrowed, her tone helpless yet unable to conceal her resentment: "Your Highness, are you really going to take such a risk for him? The flames of the Xuan Tian Fire Fox are no ordinary flames, you..."
"Ling, I have no other choice."
Ye Fei's eyes were calm. She took off the cloak, wrist guards, boots and earrings that her attendants had given her, and said softly, "I have endured the most painful wounds. Even if the fires of purgatory are burning me now, I will not feel pain."
The girl's gentle voice, though seemingly heavy, struck Ling's heart with tremendous force.
The Xuan Tian Fire Fox had been observing Ye Fei's every move until it saw Hua Hua's face, at which point its pupils contracted slightly: "The Wood-type Sacred Beast, the Myriad Spirit Flower Fairy?"
It turns out that this seemingly fragile little girl also possesses the strength to form a bond with a sacred beast...
For some reason, the Xuan Tian Fire Fox felt a sense of anticipation.
