Qi Yan was born in the Misty Abyss, at a time when he was completely ignorant and unaware of his surroundings and the demonic energy.
As I grew a little older, I came to understand my identity and responsibilities.
But by then, the demonic energy had already begun to affect his body.
At first, Qi Yan tried to resist the demonic energy, thinking that Heaven would not just watch him be corrupted by it.
But as time went on, demonic energy gradually invaded his body, and the Heavenly Dao still did not react.
He discovered that even his own divine nature was affected by demonic energy, as if he had been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.
The resentment in his heart gradually grew and intensified.
He himself also seemed to have developed a sense of self-degradation.
Later, he became a demonic beast completely corrupted by demonic energy, living freely in the Misty Abyss, and completely forgot about his duties as one of the Five Divine Beasts.
Qi Yan thought he had adapted to this kind of life and accepted himself as he was, but in reality, his resentment towards the Heavenly Dao had never dissipated.
He couldn't help but want to become one of the five divine beasts, rather than some magical beast or mythical beast.
So after hearing Shen Sangruo's words, she completely broke down.
"Yes, your flames can clear some of the demonic influence from my body, so what?"
Her eyes lit up.
"But why should I be the one to eliminate him? He just dumped me here, clapped his hands, and left, leaving me to find a solution myself? Why should I?"
"I want to be that monster! Let's see if He will eventually step in and solve the problem!"
What Qi Yan didn't say was that the portion that Chen Sangruo's flames could clear was negligible, practically a drop in the ocean.
He was afraid that if he had expectations, he would be disappointed again.
He really will turn evil; right now he's at most half-evil.
"So, you think you can use this to threaten me and negotiate with me?" Qi Yan's eyes were fierce. "Let me tell you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was burned by the blazing fire that rushed towards him, and he screamed in pain.
Shen Sanruo retracted her feather fan and replied indifferently, "Oh."
"If you don't want to, then put out the fire."
She gave the choice to Qiyan, who, with his strength, would have no difficulty extinguishing the Liu Huo.
Even though he was burning with raging flames, Qi Yan felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
The pain brought his wild thoughts to an abrupt halt, instantly calming him down.
Should he extinguish the fire or not?
Are we not going to put it out? What about all that anger he just unleashed? After saying those things, wouldn't it be incredibly humiliating not to extinguish it?
To destroy it? Well, actually, he still has a tiny bit of reluctance to destroy it.
Qi Yan was caught in a deep dilemma, completely frozen in place.
Seeing Qi Yan standing there dumbfounded and at a loss, Chen Sangruo spoke as if she saw through everything:
"Don't try to play dumb and stall for time, Young Master Qiyan, make your choice."
See? They say no, but their actions speak louder than words.
Qi Yan gritted his teeth. Damn it, she actually saw through him.
Wasn't she trying to help him clear away the influence of the demonic energy? Wouldn't it have been better to just let him stay there in a daze? Why did she have to expose him?
Isn't she afraid that he'll be tough and actually put out the fire?
This left Qi Yan extremely embarrassed. His mind raced, and after a moment, he exclaimed:
"What a vicious trick! What did you do to me? I can't move at all!"
"It must be something wrong with your fire! I can't move once I touch it! It hurts so much I don't even have the strength to put it out!"
"You just wait, once the fire's over, I'll make sure you regret it!"
His exaggerated expressions and voice made it seem as if he was afraid others wouldn't realize he was faking it.
After a moment of silence, Shen Sanru shook her head. She had acted so convincingly as Ya Lan before, but he hadn't grasped the essence of it at all.
Unaware of the speechless expressions on everyone's faces, Qi Yan only thought of himself as a genius.
He was still baring his teeth and yelling that he would teach Shen Sangruo a lesson later, but the next moment, Shen Sangruo added fuel to the fire.
Qi Yan: ? ? ?
She mimicked Qi Yan's exaggerated tone, patting her chest with her feather fan and saying, "That's terrifying! I don't want to be punished by him later!"
"What should we do then, sister?" The snake woman transformed into Xiao Shi and acted very cooperatively, pretending to be scared and panicked.
"Since the flames will immobilize him, let him burn forever." With a wave of her feather fan, the flames on Qiyan's body burned even brighter.
"Wow, sister, you're such a genius!" Xiao Shi exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
Qi Yan: ...
Fine, I'll keep up the act even if it's tearful.
Qi Yan gritted his teeth; he refused to believe she could burn him to death! Her spiritual power wasn't inexhaustible; it would eventually run out, wouldn't it?
Every time the flames were about to burn out, Chen Sangruo would add another flame.
It burned from day to night, and from night to dawn.
Just when Qi Yan thought her spiritual power was about to run out, she took out bottles of pills from her Qiankun bag.
"Fortunately, my fourth senior sister prepared a lot of spirit-replenishing pills for me."
Qi Yan: ...
Two more days passed, and Shen Sangruo's pills seemed to be free, one bottle after another. Before Qi Yan could wait for her spiritual power to run out, he collapsed on his own.
He simply couldn't take it anymore; Shen Sangruo was too much of a drain on his energy.
Even he couldn't help but wonder, didn't she have anything else to do? Didn't she care about the radicals anymore?
Ordinary people wouldn't dare burn Qiyan, but she not only burned it, she burned it for three days and three nights.
He had no doubt that if he didn't stop, Shen Sang could burn him until the end of time.
They would really be burned to death.
Qi Yan finally understood what it felt like to lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot.
What he found most unacceptable was that he had been in the same position for three days and three nights, while Shen Sangruo and the others were cooking and eating happily across from him.
Although he no longer needed to eat, the aroma of the spiritual food was simply too enticing.
They even used the fire on his body to grill skewers. The dignified mythical beast Qilin was used as a barbecue grill, which was an utter disgrace.
I felt increasingly resentful.
Moreover, the fire was truly painful; even he, a Qilin, couldn't withstand being burned for three days and three nights.
He slapped away the skewers of grilled beef stuck in the ox's horns and leaning against his body, and said fiercely, "Stop grilling!"
Kui Niu: Moo?
After a brief moment of confusion, the Kui Niu let out a sharp moo.
Its grilled skewers are amazing!
"Oh! Isn't my sister unable to move?" Xiao Shi exclaimed.
Shen Sangruo was also alarmed: "Yes, what's going on?"
Well, if she hadn't taken a bite of the skewer in her hand.
Qi Yan felt her temples throbbing with anger. She was doing it on purpose; she didn't take her seriously at all.
"Stop pretending! You knew all along I was faking it, and you were deliberately trying to mess with me, weren't you? Now you've got what you wanted, I can't keep up the act anymore, are you satisfied now?!"
Shen Sanruo raised an eyebrow and actually agreed with him, saying, "Satisfied."
