Chapter 371 Xin Mi
Ji Rong also unloaded a large furnace from Xi Tong's back. She handed the furnace to Yuan Pan and asked in surprise, "How could that scum of creation be so stupid?"
Yuan Pan took the stove and said in a low voice, "Senior, they were never complete to begin with."
As she spoke, she opened the stove lid, and a pile of black ash came out with a bang—a pile of black ash mixed with scorching sparks!
They fluttered in the wind, covering Ji Rong and the others completely.
The ashes were extremely hot. Ji Rong was not only wearing a spiritual hemp robe, but also covered in feather swords and protected by golden light. Despite these layers of protection, she still felt the heat.
So she shook herself, and all the incredibly hot sparks were gone.
Xi Tong, however, was not afraid at all; she absorbed the fire energy almost greedily.
But Yuan Pan, covered in ash, was in excruciating pain. She immediately threw the furnace aside and began rolling around on the frost-covered ground. After about fifteen minutes, she managed to get rid of the ash from her body.
The larger particles of ash that fell to the ground not only melted the frost on the stones, but also burned holes in them, demonstrating their immense power.
Ji Rong couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the power of the sun?"
Yuan Pan, panting on the ground, nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Aji, so no one wants to do this job."
"Then why did you do it?"
Yuan Pan stared intently at Ji Rong and said, "This is a long story. If you would like to know, senior, I will explain in detail."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "The night is long. If you want to speak, I will listen."
Yuan Pan then sat down and said, "Little Ape used to have a mate."
Before the grand feast, he drew a dish slip and, knowing there was no room for negotiation, he asked me to do the work instead.
Therefore, Xiao Yuan needs to find a job here and do it well to live up to his expectations.
When he died, I heard Butcher say that he was a rare treasure, one in ten thousand years.
So the butcher immediately cut off his head, processed it, and sent it to the main hall.
After the banquet, I searched for a long time on the Ice Cloud Terrace, but I couldn't tell which bone was his.
Yuan Pan bared his pale white fangs in the icy wind and said sadly, "Senior, I want to do this job because I hate it. Every time I close my eyes, I can't help but think of him putting his head under the knife."
If only some of these things were useful.
But after dealing with so many scumbags for so long, I haven't found a single one who's even remotely intelligent. They're all so stupid; even if they're still alive, they'll only chant the name of the god who abandoned them, just like the others before them.
As she spoke, Yuan Pan crawled over, her four feet touching the ground. Tears blurred the hair on her face. She choked out in a low, hoarse voice, "Senior, you gave me my life. I will always remember your voice."
Ji Rong's pupils contracted upon hearing this. Her wings and claws were already spread, but her face remained calm as she said, "Yuan Pan, you must have misheard. We are cultivators from the Western Continent, and this is our first time in the Central Continent."
Tell me, what's your partner's name?
Yuan Pan forced a smile that looked more like a grimace at Ji Rong and said, "His name is Yuan Li."
Looking at Yuan Pan, who was in unbearable pain, Ji Rong nodded and said, "Yuan Pan, Yuan Li wants you to live. Do you still have any hope for this world?"
Yuan Pan closed the furnace lid and shook his head, saying, "Senior, I have no expectations now."
Do you have a wish?
"desire?"
"Yes, do you have a wish? Is there a fire you've been burning for, or someone you've always wanted to kill?"
Yuan Pan looked into Ji Rong's eyes, which shone with golden light in the pale darkness. She said frankly, "Yes, senior, I have always wanted to thank you, and now my wish has come true."
Then, looking at the mountaintop, her voice filled with hatred, she said, "I hate it, I hate it so much."
She lowered her head, as if making up her mind. When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with determination. She said, "Seniors, you should leave tonight. I've long since given up on living."
Seeing you this time has fulfilled my wish. Now, I'm going to do what I've always wanted to do.
"What is it? Are you trying to cause trouble for that lord with the false god that hasn't completely melted in the furnace?"
Yuan Pan nodded solemnly.
Ji Rong shook her head in disagreement and said, "But Yuan Li faced death so calmly because he hoped you would live well."
Destroying a palace and causing some trouble is easy, but it requires long-term planning.
"Don't act impulsively. Since you've taken us sisters here and given us a good meal, we'll naturally help you solve your problems."
A warm light appeared in Yuan Pan's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Senior, this place is either extremely hot or extremely cold, it's not a good place. Is there anything else you want to hear? I'll tell you everything. After you've heard it, you should leave. It's not worth staying here for me."
Ji Rong thought to herself that since they always had to cause trouble so that Xi Tong could advance, she should learn more about them. So she asked, "When we were in Xizhou, we heard that there was a Great Sage of Blazing Flames who had attained the Dao of Fire, but before he could spread his name, he had his heart taken by you, sir. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Pan nodded and said, "That is indeed the case. The heart was later given to a powerful creation by the master, but the creation could not withstand it and collapsed not long afterward."
That stuff was extremely hot, and no one dared to dispose of the dregs. So I volunteered to Senior Juan Gui, who also taught me this rolling-on-the-ground technique.
Ji Rong nodded and said, "It sounds like he treats you very well."
Yuan Pan replied, "Senior, there's no such thing as good or bad. Senior Juan Gui is treating me better and better because I'm becoming more and more useful."
As soon as Yuan Pan finished speaking, the cliff fell silent for a moment.
Ji Rong spread her wings and said, "I have nothing more to ask. Now tell me what you have to say."
Yuan Pan nodded and said, "Then let me tell you some interesting things about this place. I heard that Senior Ya Nu loves power but is timid."
Senior Si Nu is very powerful, but she has been suppressing her strength and dares not go up further because the Red Dragon Clan lives in the Red Rock Mountain of the Guangyang Mountains. I guess Senior Juan Gui is the same.
Once, when I went to clean up the cave for Senior Juan Gui, I heard him whispering that he wanted the Great Sage Nanqin to repay him a corner of the cave. Not many years later, the Great Sage Nanqin died.
Lord Xi also stays in Guangyang Palace at night. Several times when I went to move the stove, I felt an extremely hot flame behind me, but He didn't seem to be having a good time. I always felt that He was roaring.
Later I went to ask the elder Juan Gui, and he said that being a god also has its hardships, so one should not speak while in that state.
...Yuan Pan talked a lot, until Xi Tong checked all the feathers on her body and then took Ji Rong's wing claws again.
Ji Rong glanced back at Xi Tong's chest pocket, where there was already a baby bird inside. Ji Rong then said, "Yuan Pan, it's almost dawn, let's go back first. Your story was really interesting, I want to hear it again next time."
Yuan Pan nodded and smiled, "Okay." She got up from the ground, went to Xi Tong's side, and whispered, "Senior Ahei, let me unload the furnace for you."
Upon hearing this, Xi Tong immediately lay down on the ground, letting Yuan Pan take down the remaining batch and open the lid. Then, she blocked Yuan Pan's claws, reached in with one wing, and greedily began to absorb the contents.
Seeing that Xi Tong had absorbed the fire energy, Ji Rong asked happily, "Good sister, is it useful?"
Xi Tong nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
