Today, I'm Going to Show Off

I imagined it would be in slow motion, but in reality it's just a fleeting moment.

In reality, Yue Xi simply spun Qin Yi around, quickly getting him out of the fire, and then put him down.

Qin Yi also composed himself and looked down at the sea of fire.

The final Blazing Light the Flame Demon's desperate attack. After Yue Xi lured it away, it burned the entire volcano, and the Flame Demon itself lost its power.

Yue Xi pressed down again, and the huge phantom of his hand descended from the sky, covering the sea of fire. The Flame Demon was indeed pressed down into a small Fire Man, and before it could even let out a wail, it was completely melted into the surrounding flames.

Then, with a gentle gesture, the Flame Heart in his hand and was stored in the ring.

Below, the raging flames had transformed into a veritable Flame Mountain, devoid of any remaining ferocious demonic aura.

It seems to be over...

Qin Yi felt rather strange at this moment... How to put it? This Flame Demon was actually very strong. During the final confrontation with the black flames, he clearly felt his power was insufficient; even with the Azure Light unleashed, a stalemate wasn't guaranteed victory, and he only managed to win thanks to Yue Xi's help. Not to mention the incredibly powerful final Blazing Light; Qin Yi knew that he hadn't been able to dodge in time and would most likely have been injured.

If Liusu intervenes, that's a different story. But if she doesn't, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat this Flame Demon in a one-on-one fight.

The battle turned out to be... not without its thrills, in fact, very dangerous, but somehow it felt like a game, which was very incongruous.

This only proves that Yue Xi is very strong. She's only at the late-stage of the Huiyang realm, at most at the peak, but she probably also possesses the ability to fight opponents of higher levels. If I hadn't helped her, she probably could have won against the Flame Demon on her own?

It should be fine... She originally planned to come alone anyway. Even if she wins, she might get injured? Cooperation is always useful.

Yue Xi glanced at the flames below for a moment, then turned to Qin Yi and asked, "Are you alright?"

Qin Yi shook his head. "No... you saved me in time."

Yue Xi smiled slightly, "It seems like you saved me first."

"That was cooperation. It's only natural that I save you and you save me. Just don't let your teammates down next time." Qin Yi looked at the night sky and smiled, "I've finally accomplished my mission. That's all for now. Take care, young lady."

He turned to leave.

"Are you really leaving like this?" Yue Xi asked from behind. "You should have some internal injuries, and the overexertion from using Qian Yuan Level Law Treasure hasn't been cured yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Qin Yi took out his Poetry Wine Drifting, took a sip, and left with a smile, "I like your kind of ancient spirit... 'I'd gladly accept a cup of wine from you and travel thousands of miles to slay the Flame Demon.' I only helped you because I received some news from you; it was just imitation. If I lingered any longer, that intention would be lost... From now on, we'll be separated by mountains and rivers, and there may be no chance of us meeting again. Take care, young lady."

Liusu was translating for him. "I, Qin Yi, am going to show off today."

Qin Yi stumbled and almost fell from the sky.

Yue Xi didn't stop him, and Qin Yi quickly disappeared into the Unseen, his destination unknown.

She tilted her head and looked at it for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Interesting."

After a moment, realizing that Qin Yi had indeed walked away without stopping, she reached out and flicked her wrist.

A torrential downpour fell upon the volcano, each drop containing immense, unparalleled Water Spirit Power. In less than half an incense stick's time, the raging fire was extinguished without a trace.

The volcanic lava below has completely disappeared, leaving behind scorched black earth that hisses in the rain and mist.

With another snap of his fingers, the downpour abruptly stopped.

Summon Wind and Rain, manipulate the seasons, and do whatever they want.

A skinny, dark-skinned figure resembling a monkey suddenly appeared and knelt down in mid-air. "High God..."

"I am not a god, you are the God of Fire Aversion." Yue Xi casually tossed the Flame Heart to him and said indifferently, "I am just a passing cultivator."

The man, who looked like a black monkey, prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to say a word.

"Amitabha." A Buddhist chant echoed from the sky, "Many years have passed, Xi Yue, your charm remains unchanged."

Yue Xi ... of course, was Xi Yue. Her expression remained calm as she scoffed, "The Flame Demon was about to emerge, and you didn't make a move. You only come running after I've dealt with it, hoping I'll see with my own eyes that this Flame Demon already possesses the Heavenless Flame?"

"Yes." As she spoke, the phantom of an old monk appeared before her, bowing respectfully. "The Heavenless Black Flame can only have been formed by borrowing the power of the Yin Realm. It's clear that the Netherworld is becoming increasingly complete. Fellow Daoist, do you have any ideas?"

"I have no idea," Xi Yue said. "Can't we just eliminate the Flame Demon and leave gracefully? Don't bring up other things and ruin my mood."

The old monk said helplessly, "Isn't it the way of the Dao, fellow Daoist, to calculate the entire future?"

"I observe, not calculate," Xi Yue said calmly. "The disappearance of the Netherworld has both advantages and disadvantages. Some people are trying to integrate it, which also has its advantages and disadvantages. We, the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, sit and observe the stars, not involved in any rituals."

The old monk sighed, "Fellow Daoist, you even returned a mere gift of wine, so why are you so indifferent to the great changes in the world?"

"You yourself are hesitant, what kind of behavior is it to trick others into taking the lead?" Xi Yue took out her Wine Gourd, took a sip, and turned to leave. "Go and talk to the You Emperor yourself, don't use me as a pawn."

The old monk sighed with a worried expression, "He is not the Nether Emperor... Reincarnation is one thing, but not the same person... The current him is far more terrifying than the Nether Emperor Jade True Person was back then."

"More or less. The Myriad Images of the Universe..." Xi Yue suddenly turned her head, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "He has a female disciple in charge of public affairs; have you had any dealings with her?"

"Since the situation hasn't been settled, it's not appropriate for us to do anything to her. However, the temples and some religious groups below have had dealings with this Miss Meng. They say she's decisive, ruthless, and extremely difficult to deal with. For some reason, the monks below reported that she seems to possess Buddha-nature, which is quite strange."

Xi Yue stroked her chin and smiled, "Of course, if she weren't so interesting, why would my good disciple always get the short end of the stick with her?... But that person seems even more interesting."

The old monk hurriedly asked, "What did you foresee, fellow Daoist?"

"Calculate, calculate, calculate everything." Xi Yue rolled her eyes. "It's always been easier to calculate others than yourself. I'm tired of calculating others, so why don't you guys help me calculate?"

The old monk said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, please don't joke around."

"Seriously? Are you guys going to turn into Magma Man and start fighting?"

"???"

"If you can't even do this, why should I be asked to calculate things? I'm leaving." Xi Yue took another sip of wine and finally strode away.

The old monk, clutching the bald head, had no idea what Xi Yue was saying. Before he could ask her anything, she had already the Unseen without a trace.

He sighed with a worried look on his face, "These Daoists are all talking nonsense and acting crazy. I don't know what they're saying."

The man, who looked like a black monkey, glanced at him sideways, wanting to say, "Master, we've never understood a word you say to us..."

Qin Yi flew on and on, not knowing how far he had flown, until he reached the top of a lush forest. Finally, unable to hold on any longer, he descended from the clouds and leaned against a large tree to catch his breath.

Xi Yue had already noticed that he was injured and had overexerted himself by using his Zhan Guang. Although it wasn't serious, he should have rested first. But he insisted on showing off and leaving, and only when he was quite a distance away did he finally break down and sit down to rest.

The Liusu floated in front of him, looking him up and down.

Qin Yi asked irritably, "What?"

Liusu laughed and said, "Although it sounds pretentious, the core message is that I don't intend to get involved with her much, right?"

"Of course," Qin Yi said irritably, "If we leave like this, we may never see each other again. Even if we're going fishing, we shouldn't fish like this."

"Didn't you used to flock to any pretty woman you saw? Why the change this time? Is it just because you want to experience that kind of chivalrous feeling?"

"Hey, you have a serious misunderstanding about me. When have I ever been the type to go up to every pretty woman I see?"

Liusu glanced at him sideways, offering no reply, her expression conveying a deep sense of skepticism. "Isn't that right?"

Qin Yi sighed and said in a low voice, "Bangbang... when we came out of the passage, I only thought that this trip would be between you and me, not anyone else. We were just strangers who met by chance, and if we liked each other, we would just lend a hand and that would be it. Why get involved?"

Liusu's eyes lit up, and she insisted, "Isn't it nice when she's holding you?"

Qin Yi smiled and held it in his hands, hooking his index finger around its little hand. "Nothing smells as good as you."
