Previously, although she and Bai Mumu did not get along, they always maintained a very good public image.
Bai Mumu had never taken the initiative to attack her like this before; it was always a sneaky, underhanded tactic.
I guess this time he felt he could deliver a fatal blow to her, so he stopped pretending.
After all, who could possibly survive falling into rolling lava?
"You should keep an eye on her in the future; she's not friendly to you."
Shen Sangruo nodded.
But since the other party had already attacked her directly, she couldn't possibly swallow her anger.
"Could we ask Immortal Lord Changli for help?"
"How can I help you?"
"Since she enjoys attracting the Fire Phoenix's hatred so much, it's quite reasonable for the Fire Phoenix to chase after her." She smiled.
The formation was already set up before she was swept away by the fire phoenix.
Most of them have probably escaped safely and are out of the fire phoenix's attack range.
She won't let them get away with it.
"My Fire Phoenix has been in a bad mood lately. Of course, we can't let the person who provoked it and destroyed its nest get away with it easily." The voice from the Heart of Blazing Flame was lazy and had a hint of mischievousness.
The two hit it off immediately, and their personalities seemed to be quite compatible.
"You can focus on your cultivation; leave this matter to me, the Immortal Lord."
Shen Sanruo's heart stirred, and she replied, "Okay."
——
On a flat area several kilometers away from the volcano.
Wen Xuan handed a bottle of medicine to Bai Mumu, and said dejectedly, "This is a simple remedy I made using Fire Scale Vine."
"After you drink it, your body will be temporarily unaffected by the hot temperature here."
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother," Bai Mumu said sweetly, "but..."
She looked at her bandaged arm with a troubled expression.
Both of her hands were burned to varying degrees by the flames.
Wen Xuan fed the medicine into Bai Mumu's mouth.
"My senior brothers are so kind to me. I am truly fortunate to have met them." She looked at the three of them with sparkling eyes.
But the three of them just smiled at her, even an awkward, bitter smile, and the atmosphere fell silent again.
All three of them instinctively looked towards the volcano, their eyes filled with sorrow.
Six days have passed since Shen Sanruo fell into the lava.
Their gaze shifted from a sliver of hope to utter numb despair.
She had to accept the fact that Shen Sanruo could never come back.
Every time I see that volcano, my eyes well up with tears, and I feel breathless.
"If we had been more cautious back then, instead of rashly taking the Fire Scale Vine, Xiao Ruo... perhaps wouldn't have ended up like this." Wen Xuan's voice was choked with emotion.
Feng Heyun said dejectedly, "We had the Fire Phoenix under control just fine, so why did it turn around and fly towards Junior Sister?"
"I...I don't know either," Bai Mumu said softly. "I was obediently following my second senior brother's instructions and hiding behind the rock when the fire phoenix suddenly came over."
In recent days, they have asked her countless times what happened back then.
She had prepared a perfect explanation beforehand, and even the details were impeccable.
"Then why did you run towards Fifth Junior Sister's side?" Feng Heyun couldn't help but ask.
"I panicked for a moment and didn't see Fifth Senior Sister over there. I tried my best to push her away, but Fifth Senior Sister was too focused on setting up the formation and didn't react in time..."
Bai Mumu became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, biting her lip, her voice trembling with tears.
"Alright, this was an accident, it has nothing to do with her. Senior Brother, don't press her anymore. Besides, Junior Sister was also injured while saving Xiao Ruo, she did her best." Wen Xuan felt sad, but still defended Bai Mumu.
Xiao Ruo is gone; their only junior sister is Bai Mumu.
The thought that Shen Sang might leave with their conflicts and misunderstandings made his head throb even more.
It is absolutely crucial to avoid any further conflict with Bai Mumu.
If he hadn't gone to collect the Fire Scale Vine, but had instead stayed with Bai Mumu...
Perhaps Bai Mumu wouldn't have panicked and acted rashly, and the ending wouldn't have been like this.
Or perhaps they didn't come looking for the Firescale Vine...
Wen Xuan didn't know why he would have such a thought.
Bai Mumu has finally recovered to normal, and he should be happy.
But the price they paid was Shen Sangruo's life.
It would be a lie for him not to say he regrets it.
"Sigh." Feng Heyun sighed deeply and ultimately said nothing more.
"It's all my fault. I disturbed the Fire Phoenix while trying to collect the Fire Scale Vine. It's my fault for accidentally leading the Fire Phoenix to Fifth Senior Sister's place. I'm the one who harmed Fifth Senior Sister. It's all my fault."
Bai Mumu seemed to have an emotional breakdown, unable to bear the pressure, and suddenly burst into tears of guilt.
The more she acted like this, the more heartache Wen Xuan and the others felt. They would comfort her, saying it wasn't her fault and they didn't blame her.
She's a victim too; at least on the surface, this has nothing to do with her.
She had accidentally hurt her senior sister, and she was also feeling bad about it.
This tactic of retreating to advance has worked for her time and time again.
Furthermore, since Wen Xuan and the others have almost accepted that Shen Sangri is dead, she should try to win them back and continue her pursuit.
"It's all my fault...it's all my fault...waaaaah..." Bai Mumu burst into tears.
“It’s your fault,” Lu Shiqing said coldly.
See? She said...
Bai Mumu suddenly stopped. What did Lu Shiqing say?
Her prepared words, "Third senior brother, you don't need to comfort me," were stuck in her throat.
Seeing her stop, Lu Shiqing repeated, "It's all your fault."
Bai Mumu finally realized that she was not hallucinating.
Has Lu Shiqing gone mad?
"Yes, you didn't do it on purpose, but as you said, you caused all of this, and Shen Sangruo's death is inextricably linked to you!"
