Under the night, Xiao Yan did something different this time.
"BBQ...?"
Yun Zhi looked at Barbecue Grill that Xiao Yan took out from Storage Ring, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"I couldn't do it by myself before, but this time I thought of coming to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it's rare for me to relax, isn't it?"
After skewering a few roasted fruits, Xiao Yan took a bite and said.
"... I'd better eat grilled fish."
Yun Zhi shook his head, then stretched out his hand to touch the long Bamboo Skewer, but suddenly paused.
"Wait... there won't be anything weird this time, right?"
Yun Zhi said with suspicion.
"Of course not. I threw away those things."
Xiao Yan said vaguely, "Besides, it wasn't me who did it..."
When Yun Zhi heard this, her pretty face turned red. She glared at Xiao Yan and said nothing more.
What does he mean, is it her fault?
But I can't blame him for this.
Yun Zhi, who was mentally excusing him, picked up the grilled fish and ate it in small bites. Looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, her mind moved slightly and said, "How much do you know about Heavenly Flames, who we are going to find next?"
"Not much. I just learned about it through some special means."
Xiao Yan explained, "Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, Heavenly Flames, which ranks 22nd among Strange Fire Ranking, appears very rarely, and the relevant records are also very few."
"It's just that when I went out to deal with the monsters that were attracted by you when you went out to take a bath, I got a little bit of the beast spirit."
"The beast spirit seems to be attracted to a certain extent, as if something is pulling it somewhere in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"It is said that Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire is Heavenly Flames formed by the gathering of thousands of beast spirits. If this rumor is true, the restlessness of the beast spirits at this moment can be explained."
Xiao Yan explained, but saw that Yun Zhi's expression did not relax.
"... What's wrong?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing..."
Yun Zhi shook his head, with some hesitation in his beautiful eyes, looking at Xiao Yan in front of him, and finally sighed quietly.
"I know it may not be appropriate to ask you this now, but I don't quite understand why you are looking for something like Heavenly Flames?"
"That thing... is too dangerous."
Yun Zhi hesitated for a moment. It was a dangerous thing that was famous all over the world. Except for the alchemist, no one else dared to touch it easily.
Yun Zhi Of course she vaguely guessed that Yao Yan was hiding something like herself. After all, this was something that was self-evident.
He has a friend who can refine high-level elixirs like Purification Pill, and he is a genius who became Dou Shi at a young age. The secrets behind this young man may not be much less than his own.
Xiao Yan heard this, but silently put down the sign in his hand.
"... If you think it's too difficult and dangerous to help me find Heavenly Flames, then I won't bother you. After all, I didn't do anything to help you in the first place."
Xiao Yan shook his head. He only thought that Yun Zhi was Dou Huang expert. He looked high and high, and naturally thought more than himself. It was normal to have concerns, so he didn't intend to force it.
"I would like to ask a Dou Huang expert to take action. I know that my financial resources are limited, so I won't force it."
"Yao Yan——Yao Yan! What are you talking about?"
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yan and was taken aback. Yun Zhi was startled. Naturally, he had no time to think about anything and hurriedly stepped forward and took Xiao Yan's hand.
Xiao Yan looked up at Yun Zhi. Those beautiful eyes made contact with the boy's dark red eyes, causing her to react and pull away her hand that was holding Xiao Yan's fingertips as if she was electrocuted.
"I-of course I didn't mean it that way."
Yun Zhi paused and then said, "You have helped me a lot and saved my life. How could I stand by and watch you go find Heavenly Flames alone?"
"... Really?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the beauty who seemed a little anxious at this moment, a little doubtful.
"I won't lie to you."
Yun Zhi saw that Xiao Yan didn't seem to be angry with him, and while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he explained.
"I'm just a little curious, why are you looking for Heavenly Flames?... It's just that, there is no other meaning."
Yun Zhi could only explain carefully. Although she consciously wanted to keep an appropriate distance from Yao Yan, she certainly did not want him to hate and alienate her.
"What other reason could there be? Of course it's to become stronger."
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and answered naturally.
"I have a promise that I must fulfill. Before that, I naturally need to become stronger."
"... Besides, I don't want to disappoint the person who has been helping me."
"She helped me so much and I didn't want to let her down."
"It's just that now, the gap between me and her is really too big. If I want to catch up with her, I have to keep getting stronger."
Yun Zhi was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly.
"Okay... then I'll help you."
"Thank you."
Staring at the crackling bonfire, Xiao Yan said softly.
"Thank you for what?... You helped me, and I helped you. That's right. This is what we agreed on from the beginning."
Yun Zhi was slightly startled. There was nothing strange on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
"... Actually, even if you took Violet Spirit Crystal and left, I wouldn't blame you."
Xiao Yan vaguely guessed what Yun Zhi was thinking and couldn't help but smile.
"Stop saying such stupid things. Didn't I leave you alone? I didn't even leave you alone when Dou Qi was sealed. How could I do something worse than a beast?"
"That's different."
"Why is it different?"
Yun Zhi shook his head and refused to let Xiao Yan continue.
"It's not too early, let's have a good rest today, look for Heavenly Flames or something, and we'll make long-term plans tomorrow."
Yun Zhi suggested, and Xiao Yan also thought it was appropriate and said, "Okay, I'll practice a little more and let's talk about it tomorrow."
At least he stabilized the young man in front of him, letting Yun Zhi breathe a little sigh of relief.
Watching the young man sitting next to him enter the cultivation state without any defense, he felt the Dou Qi around him begin to swirl around him like a whirlpool and converge on him.
It was only at this time that she suddenly realized that the boy in front of her was actually Dou Shi. This was a genius who would shine no matter where he was placed.
Sure enough, letting a man like him wander outside still hid such geniuses.
After getting Heavenly Flames for him, why not take him to the Yun Lan Sect... If he is willing, it is better to stay in the Yun Lan Sect than to sleep outside.
Although he had some vague plans in his mind, Yun Zhi could probably guess that it would be difficult for Yao Yan to agree to it.
Forget it...
Let's take one step at a time.
