"Ugh~ It's so hot!"
Wen Longting kept exhaling through her mouth, reluctant to spit out the meat.
"Xiaoting, slow down!"
"Xiao Jiu, um~ you have no idea how hungry I am!" Wen Longting said indistinctly.
"Mmm!" Qingling nodded contentedly. "Miss, what you made is so, so delicious!"
The group quickly finished the snake meat, and Wen Longting and Qingling fell asleep leaning against the Purple Lightning Leopard. It was clear that they were really tired today!
Ji Jiuying took out a blanket and covered the two of them with it. She set up a barrier at the entrance of the cave and looked at the Purple Lightning Leopard beside her, saying, "You protect the two of them."
"I will protect my master!" the Purple Lightning Leopard said, glancing at the light spirit on its back.
Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to keep the little boy with her! She left the cave with the beast and the bird, heading straight for the depths of the Boundless Mountains.
Nighttime is when she reigns supreme.
"Little Phoenix, Little Evil Flame, you two, hide your aura!" Ji Jiuying said with a dark face. She hadn't seen a single spirit beast along the way!
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, just as Ji Jiuying was wondering what was going on, a roar rang out from ahead.
The man and woman were nearly knocked over by the shout. The man turned around and his face turned pale instantly.
A large polar bear, about two meters tall, stared intently at the man and woman from behind, as if it wanted to tear them apart.
With their current strength, facing a level six peak Bursting Bear would be like an egg hitting a rock. Without saying a word, the man grabbed Zhou Xixi and ran forward desperately, with the Bursting Bear chasing after them.
"Xixi, put that Flame Fruit down quickly! Otherwise, we'll both die under the paws of this Exploding Bear!" the man said as he ran.
Each Flame Fruit tree is guarded by a Blazing Bear. To the Blazing Bear, the Flame Fruit is as important as its child, so it's understandable that these two people were chased by the Blazing Bear after picking the Flame Fruit.
Flame Fruit is a great tonic for spiritual cultivators with fire attributes, and Zhou Xixi happens to possess fire attributes.
However, Zhou Xixi did not want to throw away the Flame Fruit. "No, I don't want to throw away the Flame Fruit that I finally got!"
"It's so dark now, all we need to do is hide and shake off that stinky bear!" After saying that, he pulled Qin Yan up to a big tree and hid.
Ji Jiuying chuckled. These two had seriously underestimated the Burst Bear! As the guardian beast of the Flame Fruit, the Burst Bear was extremely sensitive to the Flame Fruit's aura.
Sure enough, the Burst Bear, relying on its keen nose, stopped under the big tree, circled it twice, and then launched a fierce attack on the tree with a series of loud bangs.
The two people in the tree stumbled a few times and almost fell down!
"Xixi, if this continues, we'll both be dead," the man said anxiously, but the Flaming Fruit was in Zhou Xixi's hands.
Zhou Xixi realized that she was now in a dilemma. Even if she returned the Flame Fruit to the Bursting Bear, the Bursting Bear probably wouldn't let them off easily. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, a fierce look appeared in her eyes, and she pushed Qin Yan away.
"Either way, we're going to die. Only one of us can live now. Qin Yan, I'll take good care of your family after we go back to Western Jin!"
Qin Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined that his dear cousin would push him to his death!
Sure enough, the Exploding Bear was attracted by Qin Yan who had fallen, and Zhou Xixi took the opportunity to leave the tree and escape into the distance.
Just when Qin Yan was too exhausted to resist any longer, he watched helplessly as the bear's paw came crashing down.
However, the imagined pain did not come. Qin Yan opened his eyes and saw that the Bursting Bear's claws were entangled in some vines.
A voice pulled him back to reality, "Why aren't you getting up yet, or it'll kill you?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan scrambled away from the Exploding Bear, leaped onto a tree, and swallowed a pill before finally recognizing the person who had come. It was her, Senior Sister!
Ji Jiuying stood in the air, looking at the enraged Bursting Bear in front of her, and chuckled, "If you waste any more time here, your Flame Fruit will be refined by someone else."
Ji Jiuying knew that a level six spirit beast had already developed intelligence, so it could definitely understand what she was saying.
As expected, the Exploding Bear stopped struggling, Ji Jiuying withdrew the vines, and the Exploding Bear turned and chased after Zhou Xixi in the direction she had fled.
Ji Jiuying looked at the man in the tree and saw him staring in the direction where the Exploding Bear had disappeared. "What? Are you worried about her?"
Qin Yan flew to Ji Jiuying's side and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Senior Sister. As for her... the moment she abandoned me and used me as bait, we severed all ties!"
"Where did you find the Flame Fruit?" Ji Jiuying asked.
People all think the Flame Fruit is the real essence, but they don't know that the root of the Flame Tree is the true key. Her space was also missing a Flame Tree, which is why she saved Qin Yan.
Qin Yan didn't know why his senior sister knew the location of the Blazing Fruit Tree, but he still respectfully gave directions.
Zhou Xixi ran for an unknown amount of time, and when she saw that there was no more movement behind her, she leaned against a tree and panted. She had finally shaken off that stinky bear. At this moment, Qin Yan was already a dead man in her eyes!
Before she could even catch her breath, a roar startled her. Turning around, she saw... Forget everything else, she ran while cursing Qin Yan as a piece of trash! He couldn't even hold off a bear.
Ji Jiuying uprooted the Flaming Fruit Tree and planted it in her spatial dimension. Just as she was about to leave, a cry of surprise came from ahead.
Qin Yan knew exactly whose voice it was, and his face immediately darkened. "It's Zhou Xixi! She's lured the Exploding Bear here again!"
Zhou Xixi didn't know what was going on, but she ended up back here and saw Qin Yan ahead. So he wasn't dead! No wonder that stinky bear caught up with her so quickly! She ran desperately toward Qin Yan, trying to use him to lure the Exploding Bear away again. However, what she didn't know was that as long as the Flame Fruit was on her, she would never be able to shake off the Exploding Bear unless she had the ability to kill it!
Dressed in black, Ji Jiuying had already blended into the darkness, so Zhou Xixi didn't even notice that there was another person behind Qin Yan.
Just as she was about to reach Qin Yan, a vine pulled Qin Yan off the ground, and Zhou Xixi's plan failed. Instantly, she panicked and cried out, "Cousin Qin, I... I know I was wrong. I was out of my mind just now. Please save me!"
Zhou Xixi was crying so hard that tears streamed down her face, and anyone who saw her couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Qin Yan glanced in Ji Jiuying's direction, then hardened his heart and said, "Hmph~ You selfish person, you weren't satisfied with framing me once, and you want to do it again? Don't even think about it!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying wasn't entirely foolish! If he softened his heart, she would simply abandon the two of them and leave them to their fate!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xixi became furious and embarrassed. "Since you refuse to save me, then you might as well die!"
