Luan Qing Xiao spoke with Nie Zhen'er all night. The moment dawn arrived, the wind and snow disappeared instantly. When Luan Qing Xiao hurried back to the stone house, Nie Zhen'er was already waiting for her in front of the stone house. Seeing her, she ran over and threw herself into her arms. "Mistress." 【Ding! The female lead's favorability value has risen to 40%! Keep up the good work, Host dada~】 Luan Qing Xiao rubbed Nie Zhen'er's long hair, "How much of your spiritual power did you use last night?" Nie Zhen'er replied, "About half." "We’re not hurrying on the road today. Mistress’s taking you along to fight against some spirit beast." Luan Qing Xiao retracted the stone house and bought Nie Zhen'er with her. They continued walking after changing their direction. "The spiritual energy on both of us is being consumed too fast, it probably won’t be enough to last for ten days. Ten years ago when I came here, I encountered a Fire Void Spirit Beast, who was guarding a Flaming Inferno Tree. At that time, the fruit hanging on the tree wasn’t yet mature. By now, it should be more than ripe enough." "The fruit of a Flaming Inferno Tree? What use does it have?" Nie Zhen'er asked curiously. "The fruit of a Flaming Inferno Tree is called a Fire Fruit. As long as you consume the Fire Fruit, the wind and snow here won’t be able to affect you. But this Fire Fruit is hard to find. If I hadn’t entered the Snowy Gale Secret Realm and remembered its location from ten years ago, I’m afraid we'd have to spend these last few days in this realm in a mess."
Nie Zhen'er hugged Luan Qing Xiao's arm, "Mistress, it's nice to have you there." With Mistress around, she doesn't have to worry about anything, because Mistress always has everything planned out Mistress is so good, how could she not like Mistress? The last time the original owner came to the Snowy Gale Secret Realm, she actually discovered the Flaming Inferno Tree accidentally. At that time, the original owner wanted to come here again to pluck the Fire Fruit and give it to Bai Li Yuan Yu. Even though with Bai Li Yuan Yu's cultivation base, the wind and snow already don't affect him. Nonetheless, the original owner just wants to give him the best of everything. Once the two climbed to the top of a small mountain, Luan Qing Xiao stood on the top and glanced down in the opposite direction from where she had climbed up. It was a pity that there was a ring of mist and clouds around the top of the hill. Nothing could be seen, let alone what was under the mountain. "Mistress, is the Flaming Inferno tree here?" Nie Zhen'er looked around. There was no tree in sight. Luan Qing Xiao smiled and replied, "Here, but not here." Nie Zhen'er was confused. "Grab Mistress’ hand, Mistress is going to jump down with you."
Nie Zhen'er heard Luan Qing Xiao's words and subconsciously grabbed her hand, but her brain hasn’t processed the meaning of her words yet. "What jump down?" Luan Qing Xiao looked back and smiled, "Naturally to jump down from here." Luan Qing Xiao clasped her hand tightly with Nie Zhen'er and put her arm around Nie Zhen'er's waist. "Don't be afraid, Mistress will protect you." After she finished speaking, she stepped up and jumped from the top of the mountain. Bunches of clouds quickly disappeared from the front of her eyes and Nie Zhen'er closed her eyes in hindsight. Soon, she realized that she wasn’t afraid of this feeling of weightlessness and immediately reopened her eyes. Only to see Luan Qing Xiao turn around. She stepped on a tree growing on the side of the cliff to ease their speed. Then, they leaped and entered a cave in the cliff in the blink of an eye. Nie Zhen'er blinked and looked down from the cliff cave in amazement. "Mistress, how did you find this place last time? It is simply too difficult to find." Luan Qing Xiao thought for a while. "Last time, I came with Elder Liu Yun and his Junior Sister Liu Xue. The two got into an argument, which Liu Xue jumped from here in a fit of anger. At that time, Elder Liu Yun’s spiritual power was exhausted. So it was up to her to save Liu Xue." "Last time I also fell into this cave with Liu Xue."
Nie Zhen'er was speechless. "Senior Liu Xue was too impulsive. If Mistress hadn’t come and saved her, wouldn't she..." Luan Qing Xiao smiled and shook her head. "Elder Liu Yun's spiritual power might have been exhausted, but Liu Xue hasn’t. This time her jumping off the cliff frightened Elder Liu Yun to death. From then on, Elder Liu Yun listened to Liu Xue for everything and didn't dare to argue with her ever again." "It turns out Senior Liu Xue did it deliberately." Nie Zhen'er was stunned. Unexpectedly, the famous immortal couple in the Shang Qing Palace would have such an interesting past. Who knows how many memories she and Mistress made here?
Nie Zhen'er snuck a glance at Luan Qing Xiao. "Come on, let's take a look inside." Luan Qing Xiao pulled Nie Zhen'er into the cliff cave. "Mistress, what is the Fire Void Spirit Beast like? Will it suddenly rush out?" Nie Zhen'er uttered in a low voice and immediately shut her mouth nervously when she heard an echo from the inside. Luan Qing Xiao turned around to smile at her. "Don't be nervous, the Fire Void Spirit Beast won't suddenly rush out. As for what it looks like… …you'll know when you go in and see it." Nie Zhen'er let out a sigh of relief.
The two walked along the cliff for a long time until they saw a little light ahead. After a dozen more steps, the cliff cave became larger and a lit space appeared in front of them. This space was about the size of four or five stone houses. There was a hole agape on the top, where sunlight shone in from. The scattered light fell into the pool in the middle, reflecting sparkling waves. Next to the turquoise pool was a tree without a single leaf. The trunk was dark red, and two red fruits hung on the tree branches. Luan Qing Xiao pointed to the stone pier next to them. "Zhen'er, go there to sit and wait for me." Nie Zhen'er walked over and sat down. "Mistress, how come there is a stone pier here?" "Mistress made it ten years ago." Luan Qing Xiao walked to the edge of the pool and raised her hand to summon her long sword. The long sword flew through the air, leaving an ice-blue ray of light before piercing straight into the water. "Roar--" The sword light alarmed the Fire Void Spirit Beast at the bottom of the pool. The Fire Void Spirit Beast let out a roar, causing the waves on the surface to become bigger and bigger. Gradually the fiery-red scales of the Fire Void Spirit Beast were revealed.
The pool water began to boil and roll as the temperature in the cave rose rapidly. Nie Zhen'er felt a little hot. She swiftly fanned her face with her hand while she stared at the pool without blinking, waiting to see the true appearance of the Fire Void Spirit Beast. "Ah!" After the Fire Void Spirit Beast came out of the pool completely, Nie Zhen'er stared at it in surprise. The Fire Void Spirit Beast was about three feet long, and the scales on its back appeared extremely mighty. Nonetheless when she looked at its face and feet, there were only three words left in her mind, "Simple-minded Fool". Its face was round, the eyes were large, and the nose and mouth were tiny. From its thighs to the calves to its feet, it was perfectly cylindrical. "So cute." Nie Zhen'er stared at it closely. Originally, the Fire Void Spirit Beast was ready to attack Luan Qing Xiao. Hearing Nie Zhen'er's words, it tilted its head cutely and said to her, "This fairy has a good eye. The mother of this majesty gave this deity the nickname Little Cutie. It can be seen from this that you and I are destined. Why don't you stay and be my wife?" The voice of the Fire Void Spirit Beast was a little rough, like the voice of a child with a cold. Luan Qing Xiao pointed the tip of the sword to the Fire Void Spirit Beast's eyes and snorted. "Want to marry my disciple? Ask me this Mistress first!"
The Fire Void Spirit Beast actually turned around and pointed its ass to Luan Qing Xiao, "You're too fierce, I don't want to fight with you. If you guys want to fight, let that fairy come at me. Even if you win, I won't give you the Fire Fruit." Nie Zhen'er ran over, "You’re so amazing ah, Little Cutie. You can talk!" It was the first time she saw a talking spirit beast. "Mistress, why don't you just let me compete with Little Cutie? No matter what, I’m also a Foundation Building." When the Fire Void Spirit Beast heard Nie Zhen'er's voice, it turned around happily. "Little fairy, you can relax when competing with me, I won’t hurt you~" Luan Qing Xiao reluctantly retracted her long sword, "I’ll leave it up to you, don't let it take advantage of you." "Hmph, what are you talking about? Ren Jia is still a pure baby!" The Fire Void Spirit Beast huffed a breath towards Luan Qing Xiao, causing the icy blue flame to wrap around the tip of Luan Qing Xiao's long sword. The long sword immediately let out a "buzzing" whine. "Little Cutie, I won't allow you to hurt my Mistress." Nie Zhen'er stood in front of Luan Qing Xiao. The Fire Void Spirit Beast said, "Alright, alright, I will take it back. Don't be angry ma, little fairy." As it talked, it opened its small mouth to suck the ice-blue flame back in its mouth again.
