âUh!â After Leng Ruoxue heard Little Red Snakeâs words, her gaze turned towards the depressed Little Fire Ginseng.
âNot long ago, someone broke into the cave and was injured by the poisonous fog. I gave him a ginseng root and he promised us that he wouldnât reveal our whereabouts. However, I didnât expectâ¦â The little fire ginseng explained, but its voice became softer and softer.
âIdiot! How can you believe the words of a human?!â Little Flame roared angrily, its face full of disappointment.
âThere are good humans too. Elder Sister is one!â Little Fire Ginseng explained softly.
âOf course there are good people among humans, but the problem is, Little Fire Ginseng, your temptation towards humans is too great, soâ¦â Leng Ruoxue stopped halfway, she believed Little Fire Ginseng would understand.
âSister, I know my own value. I donât dare to be nosy anymore. Hehe, can we live here in the future?â Little Fire Ginseng asked expectantly.
âOf course. From now on, this will be your home.â Leng Ruoxue looked at the sensible little fire ginseng and said with heartache.
âThank you, Sister,â the Little Fire Ginseng said happily.
âWoman, I can also live here?â Little Red Snake could not help but confirm.
âYes.â Leng Ruoxue nodded. Since this little red snake was the Little Fire Ginsengâs Companion Beast, it definitely wouldnât be willing to part with it.
âThank you, woman. Those Flame Crystals outside are good stuff. Donât forget to take them,â reminded Little Red Snake.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue nodded.
âHehe, little snake, I was wondering why there werenât any Flame Crystals in such a huge volcano. So it was you guys who collected them. Oh right, do you have the Flame Crystal Core?â At this moment, Feng Zhan who was on Leng Ruoxueâs shoulder asked.
âYes, thereâs one. Itâs buried under those Fire Crystals!â Little Red Snake nodded and said.
âHehe! This is really great.â Feng Zhan said happily. Masterâs luck was really good. She actually found another Fire Crystal Core.
âQing Jue, bring the two little ones around. Iâm going out first,â Leng Ruoxue instructed. After speaking, she brought the freak out of the bracelet.
After the two of them left the bracelet, they stored all the Flame Crystals in the pool into the bracelet. They then walked back the way they came. At this time, the teams outside the cave had already started to eat dinner. Feng Da and the others had also finished preparing dinner and were waiting for Leng Ruoxue and the freak.
Leng Ruoxue and the freak returned to the tent and removed their invisibility. Emptyâs voice suddenly sounded behind them, âWhere did you guys go?â
âWe went to look for the fire ginseng.â Leng Ruoxue smiled.
âYou two baddies, you went to look for the fire ginseng but didnât call me along!â Empty said with a bitter face.
âHehe, isnât it inconvenient? There are so many people outside. If the three of us enter the same tent and donât leave for a long time, there might be rumors spreading.â Leng Ruoxue helplessly said.
âWhatâs there to be afraid of? If anyone dares to say anything, just kill them!â Empty said indifferently. Hmph! He didnât care about those people outside at all.
âUgh!â Cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxueâs forehead, he was getting more and more violent.
âXueâer, have you found the Fire Ginseng?â Empty continued to ask.
âEn.â Leng Ruoxue nodded happily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhere is it? Let me take a look. I heard from the people outside that the fire ginseng seems to have developed intelligence.â Empty said with a face full of excitement and swept away his previous resentment.
âEmpty! Itâs not like you havenât seen a sprite before. Is there a need to be so excited?â The freak said helplessly.
âUh! Iâve never seen a Fire Ginseng before!â Empty said matter-of-factly.
âOh, here you go!â Leng Ruoxue smiled wickedly as she moved the little Fire Ginseng out of the bracelet and into Emptyâs arms.
âXueâer, whatâs this? What I want to see is a fire ginseng. Why did you give me a child!?â Empty said in shock. Boohoo⦠He did not know how to carry a child! Empty did not know how to let go looking at the innocent child in his arms.
âYou guys look like father and son,â the freak teased when he saw Empty panicking.
âWhich family is this child from? Donât tell me you guys gave birth to him? Isnât this speed a little too fast?â Empty didnât want to be outdone and retorted hearing the freakâs teasing. Hmph! He couldnât watch him make a fool of himself, but the little child in her arms was too soft and tender! He didnât even dare to use too much strength!
âUnfortunately, we didnât give birth to him,â the freak said with a face full of pity.
âCould it be that you kidnapped him?â Empty guessed. Oh! It was very possible!
âSister is a good person, I left with her willingly,â Little Fire Ginseng couldnât help defending Leng Ruoxue.
âOh!â Empty looked at Leng Ruoxue with a strange expression, feeling even more admiration for her.
âHeâs that fire ginseng,â Leng Ruoxue explained. Sigh! She didnât want Empty to think too much.
âAh! Doesnât that mean you are at least ten thousand years?â Empty said in surprise.
âEn.â The small Fire Ginseng nodded. Actually, it was more than ten thousand years old!
âHaha! Xueâer, your luck is so good that thereâs nothing to say about it!â Empty said enviously. Sigh! He really did not know what to say.
âEn, letâs go out first!â Leng Ruoxue reminded. Everyone was waiting outside!
âOkay.â Wu Jiu returned the baby to Leng Ruoxue and said.
Leng Ruoxue placed the little fire ginseng back into her bracelet and the three of them walked out of the tent.
âMiss, itâs time to eat.â Feng Da quickly shouted after seeing Leng Ruoxue and the other two.
âEn.â Leng Ruoxue and the other two walked to the dining table and sat down. However, they felt many strange gazes on them.
âHey, Iâll pay you guys. Sell your food to me!â Leng Ruoxue had just picked up a piece of roasted meat that was golden and fragrant. She heard an unruly and overbearing voice before she could put it into her mouth.
âIâm sorry, our food isnât for sale.â Leng Ruoxue lightly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the young woman standing in front of them with an arrogant expression.
âDammit! Do you know who I am? Iâm willing to buy your food because I think highly of you, so donât fail to appreciate my kindness!â The woman was livid with rage, and she roared at the top of her lungs.
